189: Chapter 189 Letting Lin Xixue Go

After Lin Xixue finished asking, fine beads of fragrant sweat seeped from her forehead, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on the Chrono Legionnaires before her.

At this moment, the Chrono Legionnaires stood motionless on the spot, expressionless and offering no reply to her question.

“Ability Users of such high level are usually arrogant and difficult to communicate with. It seems that's indeed the case!” Lin Xixue sighed inwardly, though she dared not show the slightest negligence on her face.

What she didn't know was that the Chrono Legionnaires were currently in their cooldown period and were completely unable to make any response.

“Hmph, are they really God-Demon Level Ability Users? There are actually several hundred of them... I've never heard of there being so many. I'll just see for myself how powerful you really are!” One of the Red-Horned Cattle, who had just ambushed Wei He, spoke vigilantly, his brow furrowed and eyes darting around.

Just as he drew his steel blade to ambush the Chrono Legionnaires again, their cooldown period ended. Dozens of Chrono Legionnaires near him acted simultaneously, their Space Rays striking him at once. In an instant, he vanished from the spot, leaving no blood or trace, as if he had never existed.

“They really are God-Demon Level Ability Users. I wonder what brings you here and why you are obstructing us from capturing this fugitive traitor!” The veins on First Prince Spike's forehead throbbed, his eyes filled with terror.

That Red-Horned Cattle just now was an eighth-rank magical beast, yet it was instantly killed. Moreover, looking at these people, they seemed to belong to the same organization, with identical equipment. How had he never heard of such an organization on the continent? First Prince Spike slapped his forehead, sinking into deep thought.

“You see us brothers and yet you're still floating in the sky? Get down here and pay your respects, or else we'll throw you into the void to float there until you die!” Under Wei He's command, a Chrono Legionnaire on the ground shouted arrogantly at First Prince Spike in the air.

Simultaneously, the beasts on the ground were frozen by the Chrono Legionnaires and began to vanish at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First Prince Spike had already been shocked when the Red-Horned Cattle disappeared; seeing so many beasts vanish as well, he dared not disobey. He obediently landed on the ground, followed by the dozens of Red-Horned Cattle.

Looking at Spike standing on the ground, Wei He breathed a long sigh of relief. Once on the ground, they could be locked onto by the Chrono Legionnaires; if they stayed in the air, there was really nothing he could do to them.

“Senior, I am the First Prince of the Magical Beast Empire, here to capture this traitor. He...” First Prince Spike pointed at Wei He, but just as he began to explain, he was hit by a Space Ray from a Chrono Legionnaire. The Red-Horned Cattle who had descended with him were struck simultaneously.

Each Chrono Legionnaire targeted one enemy. Under Wei He's command, the remaining hundreds of Chrono Legionnaires flashed to surround Lin Xixue; Wei He had noticed her as soon as the Chrono Legionnaires arrived.

As Spike and the Red-Horned Cattle vanished one by one, thrown into the void by the Chrono Legionnaires, Wei He flew into the air and came before Lin Xixue.

“These beasts were your doing, weren't they? Miss Lin, it's been a long time!” Wei He looked at Lin Xixue's fair face, swallowed, and chuckled softly.

“Yes, it was me. So what? Wei He, do you dare say that the deaths of my father and Xie Yanwen have nothing to do with you? How exactly did my father die? Do you dare say it?” Lin Xixue looked at Wei He's golden skin, shocked by how quickly his ability level had risen, yet she still questioned him fiercely.

“Indeed, your father did die at my hands. However, that was because you all wanted to kill me; it was merely the consequences of your own actions. Back then, if not for you, why would I have entered Nankang Golden Valley, and why would I have ended up as a laborer in your mine? In the end, it was because you were all too arrogant and overbearing!” Wei He sneered, his eyes calm and firm as he spoke to Lin Xixue word by word.

“You finally admit it! Why did you do it? What benefit was there for you? What grudge did my father have against you that you had to kill him?” Lin Xixue's teeth ground together, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her watery eyes.

“Have you lost your memory? If you hadn't relied on your wealth and power to force passersby into the mines as laborers, do you know how many people would have wished for your deaths? Your father even mobilized an army to wipe me out. Is it because I was unwilling to be a laborer for your family that I had to be destroyed?” Wei He laughed in anger, the corners of his mouth curling into a smirk.

“Then you escaped, so why did you come back to destroy the mine, release the laborers, and snatch Du Yu away? Could my father not hate you for that?” Lin Xixue sobbed, her face drenched in tears.

“You really are a young mistress, completely unreasonable. You killed my people, and I merely released the laborers. As for Du Yu, he is my friend; of course I would save him!” Wei He stared intently at Lin Xixue and spoke slowly.

“Hmph, it's just a pity I couldn't kill you today. When I saw the Magical Beast Empire hunting you, I thought the opportunity had come. I didn't expect you to have such powerful friends!” Lin Xixue huffed, looking at the surrounding Chrono Legionnaires with a defiant pout.

“Heh, you're wrong. They aren't my friends; they are my subordinates!” As Wei He said this, he tilted his chin high, his face full of confidence and pride.

“You—what nonsense are you talking? How could they be your subordinates? Their ability levels are higher than yours; how could you possibly command them?” Lin Xixue glared at Wei He sideways with disbelief. In her eyes, this was just a lie Wei He made up to show off; how could God-Demon Level Ability Users obey the orders of a World-Shocking Level one?

“It doesn't matter if you don't believe it; that's just the way it is. Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you still want to kill me, I'm ready anytime. However, don't go back to Nankang Golden Valley. Otherwise, if I catch you, you'll have to face the consequences! Hmph!” Wei He snorted, and after saying this, he turned and walked away.

“You... you're not killing me?” Hearing this, Lin Xixue showed a look of surprise. she hadn't expected Wei He to let her go.

“Go. Don't let me catch you again!” Wei He didn't look back, speaking leisurely as he walked, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

“You'll definitely regret letting me go today! One day, I will come back for revenge. Wei He, I will definitely kill you!” Lin Xixue glared fiercely at Wei He's back, tears streaming from her eyes. She clutched her stomach, turned, and left.
