28: Chapter 28 Hiring a hitman? Where's the evidence?!

Meanwhile, within the magnificent and expansive main residence of the Ye family.

The atmosphere in the rustic yet luxurious grand council hall was dead silent, suffocatingly oppressive.

A middle-aged man dressed in dark brocade robes with a majestic and calm expression stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by heavy and steady True God coercion. He was none other than Ye Feng's father and the current head of the Ye family—Ye Jinglun.

He had just finished official business out of town and rushed back to the Ye family. As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard about all of Ye Feng's actions today: causing trouble at school, secretly instructing others to launch a sneak attack, and even daring to hire black market assassins.

"Bastard! Do you know how big of a disaster you have caused?!"

Ye Jinglun stared intently at Ye Feng, who stood with lowered head in front of him, reluctance still hidden deep in his eyes. He sternly rebuked him, his tone full of bitter disappointment: "Private fights using Divine Kingdoms within the school, intentionally attempting to murder a classmate, and even daring to employ black market desperadoes! Are you trying to drag the entire Ye family into the abyss?!"

Ye Feng lowered his head and gritted his teeth, full of venomous resentment yet not daring to talk back to his father. He could only suppress his full belly of hatred in secret and remain silent.

Just as Ye Jinglun's anger surged and he was about to continue his reprimand, a world-shaking, violent roar suddenly came from above the firmament!

Rumble—!

An overwhelmingly tyrannical divine pressure crushed down. The protective array of the entire Ye family estate trembled violently, its spiritual light flashing frantically as if it would shatter and explode in the next second.

"Ye Jinglun! Get out here and face your death!"

An enraged, heaven-shaking roar pierced the skies, penetrating layers of pavilions and echoing across every inch of the Ye family's land.

Wang Guo stepped into the air above the firmament, blood-colored divine energy surging around him, and an aura of slaughter shooting straight into the heavens. His cold gaze locked onto the father and son inside the grand hall, without a single word of superfluous nonsense.

Today, he was here solely to demand justice and vent his blood-stained hatred; he would not care about rules or show any mercy!

Before his voice even faded, Wang Guo raised his hand and delivered a palm strike. Boundless divine energy condensed into a giant palm supporting the heavens, carrying the might to crush everything as it fiercely slammed down toward the Ye family's grand hall!

"Audacious!"

Ye Jinglun's expression changed abruptly. Instantly ignoring his reprimand of Ye Feng, his figure suddenly soared into the air, fully unleashing his True God coercion.

The powerful aura of a Fifth-Rank True God burst forth explosively, forcefully holding back Wang Guo's violent offensive.

Bang!!

The powers of the two True God experts collided explosively, and a terrifying energy shockwave instantly swept across the entire Ye family estate. The ground cracked, beams and pillars trembled, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and countless luxurious buildings were instantly damaged and collapsed.

One person struck out in fury to protect his son, vowing to repay blood with blood,

Another resisted desperately to protect the family's offspring and safeguard the foundation of the Ye family.

Both sides stood in opposition with extremely strong obsessions. Neither held back at all in their attacks, every move ruthless and entirely consisting of fatal techniques!

The void trembled, divine energy rioted, and the sky over the entire western district of Cangnan City was dyed in unusual colors by the two extremely tyrannical forces.

After several rounds of fierce battle, Ye Jinglun's heart was filled with shock, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

He had long heard that Wang Guo possessed formidable combat strength and was a veteran expert in the military, but they had never crossed paths. He originally thought that having deeply cultivated at the Fifth-Rank True God realm for many years, his foundation was profound enough to steadily suppress the other party.

But once the battle truly began, he was shocked to find that Wang Guo's foundation, combat strength, and battle experience were actually on par with his own. The two were completely evenly matched, and neither could suppress the other!

Under the head-on clash, Wang Guo was unable to break through the opponent's defense and take down Ye Jinglun for a long time.

Seeing the deadlock, the killing intent in Wang Guo's eyes surged. No longer holding back any of his strength, he let out a cold, deep shout: "Since our physical bodies are hard to distinguish in victory or defeat, let's decide life and death with our Divine Kingdom's combat power!"

As his voice fell, the light from the divine core between his brows surged violently, and spatial fluctuations around him became intense. He was already preparing to open the Divine Kingdom channel, summon his trump card believers to enter the battlefield, and completely crush and take down Ye Jinglun!

Once True God believers appeared in the world, this entire Ye family estate would be completely razed to the ground!

But just at the moment when the Divine Kingdom channel was about to take form and the battle was about to thoroughly escalate, several holy confinement forces covering the entire firmament suddenly descended.

"Stop!!"

The majestic and vast reprimand crushed the entire scene, carrying the supreme regulatory pressure of the authorities.

More than a dozen high-ranking experts from the Deity Administration Bureau, dressed in silver-gray standard uniforms and possessing auras far exceeding ordinary True Gods, broke through the air and arrived. In an instant, confinement divine runes filled heaven and earth, tightly locking down the space of the entire battlefield.

An invisible suppression force crashed down, forcefully confining the two True God experts who were about to go to war tightly in midair, rendering them unable to move.

The newly formed Divine Kingdom channel was forcibly cut off and completely annihilated.

The battle situation was instantly and forcibly terminated.

The leading inspection elder of the Deity Administration Bureau had a cold expression and majestic eyes, coldly gazing at the two men: "In broad daylight, privately using True God combat power, wantonly destroying city buildings, and provoking high-rank slaughter—do you know your crimes?"

Ye Jinglun, who had been forcibly suppressed, instantly reined in the killing intent around his body. His expression switched in a flash to one of innocence and bewilderment, and he spoke in a deep voice feigning incomprehension: "Lord Inspector, I know nothing about this."

"I had just returned home to reprimand my unruly son when this person, without distinguishing right from wrong, directly attacked my Ye family estate, beat me and my son, and acted violently. I was passively defending myself the entire time and had no idea what this was all about!"

He shifted the blame and cleared himself completely, acting as if he knew nothing at all, fully displaying the slick craftiness of an old fox.

Upon seeing this, Wang Guo's eyes turned crimson with rage, his entire body trembled, and he roared furiously: "You don't know?! Ye Jinglun, stop trying to distort black and white!"

"Your son, Ye Feng, failed to intentionally murder Lin Ye at school today, and by evening directly hired black market assassins to ambush and kill my son Wang Hu and Lin Ye on the street! The two students almost died tragically in the alley! Such vicious actions, do you dare say you know nothing about it?!"

Every word of this speech was forceful and clear, resounding across the entire scene and directly exposing Ye Feng's monstrous crimes.

But after hearing this, Ye Jinglun's expression remained calm, with no ripples in his eyes. He only asked indifferently: "Oh? Hiring hitmen to commit murder? Where is the evidence?"

These simple three words instantly struck the fatal weakness.

The assassins had fled on the spot without a trace, and Lu Ren bit down hard that it was a personal grudge, absolutely refusing to rat out Ye Feng. From beginning to end, Wang Guo did not have a single piece of substantive evidence in his hands that could nail Ye Feng down.

Words alone are proofless; even if everyone knew in their hearts that it was done by Ye Feng, at the level of the law, he could not be convicted.

Wang Guo's complexion instantly turned livid, his pent-up rage having nowhere to vent, feeling aggrieved to the extreme.

Seeing this, the inspection elder of the Deity Administration Bureau grew even colder in expression and said in a deep voice: "With no proof or evidence, wantonly picking fights, private high-rank fighting, and destroying public facilities—the crimes are conclusive!"

"Wang Guo, surrender immediately and come back with us to the Deity Administration Bureau to face interrogation and accountability!"

Several enforcement experts instantly stepped forward, the confinement divine runes tightening layer by layer, preparing to forcibly take Wang Guo away.

Ye Jinglun stood to the side, a trace of an obscure sneer quietly flashing across his eyes. He looked calm and peaceful, but in reality, he had already secured victory.

But at the very instant Wang Guo was about to be forcibly taken away, at the edge of the horizon, an even more vast and domineering blood-colored rosy light tore through the clouds.
