Chapter 2205 Capturing Shan Jianqing Alive
Lu Chengwen repelled Shan Jianqing's ultimate move, and his Star Armor was revealed.
The armor began to crack, revealing large, spiderweb-like fissures.
But at the crucial moment, the power suddenly vanished.
Lu Chengwen was taken aback and realized that Shan Jianqing was no longer in sight.
He was panting, looking completely bewildered.
Without the attack of powerful true energy, the Star Armor began to repair itself, and after returning to its original state, it slowly became invisible again.
The black true energy around his body gradually disappeared.
The five old men smiled but said nothing.
A moment later, Ming Di Sha flew down from the sky and dropped Shan Jian Qing on the ground.
"We caught them! Hahaha!"
Lu Chengwen looked at Ming Disha: "Where were you just now?"
Ming Di Sha apologized, "I... I was eavesdropping on their meeting."
The old dean's eyes widened: "Eavesdropping!?"
Ming Di Sha said, "I only listened for a short while."
The old dean roared, "I knew something was wrong! You hid my shoe?!"
Ming Di Sha said, "How can you secretly take off your shoes and stretch your feet under the table during a meeting?! This is a lesson for you!"
Lu Chengwen retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting! My child is gone!"
Ming Di Sha patted Lu Chengwen on the shoulder: "Fate."
Lu Chengwen walked up to Shan Jianqing.
The old dean said, "Cheng Wen, hand him over to me."
Lu Chengwen looked at the old dean with icy eyes.
The old dean almost pleaded, "I know I'm sorry for what happened, but killing him would be too lenient on him."
"Aren't you a spy for Skynet too? Why should I trust you?"
The old dean said, "Qiu Baihen came to me wanting to cooperate with me and even gave me his contact information. I didn't refuse because I wanted to maintain contact with him and ensure that I could get more information about them."
"My original intention was... to lure him into fighting the drunkard, so that I could take the opportunity... to kill you."
Lu Chengwen looked at the old dean: "Why do you hate me so much?"
"Because you are not important to us, but you are important to Skynet."
The old dean stared at Lu Chengwen: "You are of no benefit to us. Losing you would only mean one less idle, boastful, and troublemaking rich kid in this world. But as long as you live, you are a huge threat to this world. I will not let Qiu Baihen get you, I will not allow it!"
Lu Chengwen looked at the old dean for a long time and said, "That makes sense."
The old dean nodded: "They're right, he's someone who can take things on and let them go."
“Old Dean, you’re wrong,” Lu Chengwen said. “I’m just a nobody. There are many things I can’t take on or let go of. My child was killed by Shan Jianqing. Shan Jianqing is a traitor to your Elder Council. Therefore, your Elder Council bears responsibility for this. Do you admit it or not?”
The old dean was somewhat helpless, but could only nod.
"recognize."
"it is good!"
Lu Chengwen said, "If I kill him now, do you have a problem with that?"
The old dean looked at Lu Chengwen: "Do you think the current council of elders is a corrupt and dilapidated organization that has no purpose other than harboring evildoers?"
"Yes."
Lu Chengwen looked at him and said, "I'm going to beat him to death."
"Even if you kill him, your child will never come back."
"The old director was wrong. He should pay with his life because my child is not coming back."
"The five elders unanimously agree that the three young men of your Yanzhao Sect are all great figures, heroes capable of shouldering the future of the world and confronting the Heavenly Tribulation. A hero must have the vision and perspective of a hero. Killing someone is merely settling a personal grudge, and besides, he is now a member of the Elder Council. Even if he is a traitor, it should be dealt with by the Elder Council. Lu Chengwen, I approve of your performance just now. Hand him over to me, and things will have a good ending."
What if I say no?
The old dean stared at Lu Chengwen: "For a hundred years, no one has dared to openly kill an elder of the Elder Council. Lu Chengwen, if you kill him, do you know what the consequences will be?"
“An elder-level expert turned out to be a traitor, and you failed to bring him to justice, but I killed him instead. The Elder Council has lost face and suffered in silence. Many people will not only hate Shan Jianqing, but also hate me. From now on, the people of the Elder Council will oppose me at every turn, trip me up, and use dirty tricks.”
"Not only that," the old dean said, "If you want to do great things, you will definitely need the influence and fighting power of the Elders' Council in the future. It would be unwise to offend the most prestigious and honorable organization in the martial arts world because of personal grudges and push them away."
Lu Chengwen turned around, picked up his stick, and walked towards Shan Jianqing.
Shan Jianqing looked at Lu Chengwen, panting, unable to move.
“Lu Chengwen…”
Lu Chengwen looked at him coldly.
Shan Jianqing laughed, his mouth full of blood, but he was still laughing.
"I told you long ago, you can't kill me. Hahaha... No matter what, I'm still a member of the Elder Council. Do you think it's my place to judge a nobody like you? I'll be taken back to the Elder Council, where I'll be well-fed and well-clothed. As long as I can reveal some of the inside stories of Skynet, I can live a good life. And it won't be long before someone comes to rescue me."
"Is that so..."
"Of course! I'm different from you. I'm valuable and very important. The boss will offer a condition that even the old dean can't refuse, and take me away. When I return to Skynet, I'll still be a high-ranking officer, with elite troops under my command, wielding power. As for you, Lu Chengwen, I'll personally lead the team to capture you..."
The flounder leaned closer: "Cheng Wen, if you spare him this time, I promise! No one will be able to take him away! We will interrogate him rigorously. He is valuable, very valuable! Moreover, by doing this in front of so many people, you are essentially... slapping the Elders' Council in the face. If you give us face, the Elders' Council will definitely repay you."
Lu Chengwen glanced at the flounder.
Xiao Chongshan also came over and said, "Lu Chengwen, you gave me a way out before, this time, I'll give you a way out too..."
"What did you say!?"
Lu Chengwen glared at him: "Give me a way out?"
"No, I mean..."
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! Stand over there!"
The old dean said, "Cheng Wen, I know you have the Five Elders backing you up, but they can't protect you forever..."
Lu Chengwen laughed loudly: "I don't need anyone to back me up when I'm avenging my child!"
Shan Jianqing sneered: "Kill me, and the Elders will hunt you down. Lu Chengwen, the Elders will hunt you down, and we, the Skynet, will capture you. What do you have? Just five withered old men who are on their deathbeds. What will happen to them one day?!"
Shan Jianqing suddenly screamed.
Lu Chengwen inserted the iron rod into Shan Jianqing's wound and slowly rotated and stirred it.
Shan Jianqing convulsed in pain: "You...you..."
Lu Chengwen channeled a burst of true energy into the mountain, causing Shan Jianqing to roll around on the ground.
