418: What are you looking for?

The Time Messenger, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but be stunned, secretly speculating: "This killer must have some extremely powerful treasure behind them to be able to act so elusively."

However, just as the Time Messenger wanted to investigate further, the space image within this small range suddenly shook violently, as if struck by some powerful force. Immediately after, a shattering sound was heard, and the space image collapsed instantly.

The Time Messenger was also shocked by this sudden turn of events, sighing in his heart: "What a powerful Secret Treasure! To possess such high-level power that it's impossible for even me to glimpse the truth through Time Backtracking."

Just as the Time Messenger was unwillingly preparing to try Time Backtracking again for a deeper investigation, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly came from behind him:

"What are you looking for?"

Hearing the voice, the Time Messenger quickly turned around to see Xun Xiuyuan standing quietly in the distance, his gaze profound.

The Time Messenger was no stranger to Xun Xiuyuan, as he had seen his figure and appearance multiple times during the Time Backtracking process just now.

However, the moment he saw Xun Xiuyuan with his own eyes again, the Time Messenger's pupils involuntarily constricted, and an inexplicable chill rose in his heart. Xun Xiuyuan's aura was as vast as the sea, elusive, and filled with an inexplicable pressure.

He knew that although his attainments in the Law of Time were not shallow, they were more auxiliary in nature; his true combat power was far inferior to that of the brave and battle-hardened General Wu.

Since even General Wu had been forced by this young man to end the battle by self-destructing, his own chances of winning against this young man were even slimmer.

The Time Messenger figured all this out in a flash and secretly prepared himself.

Thinking of this, the Time Messenger calmly crushed a bead held tightly in his hand while turning his gaze to Xun Xiuyuan, saying in a calm tone, "I'm looking for the culprit behind that explosion."

Xun Xiuyuan gazed solemnly at the Seven-System Saint King before him, already understanding in his heart that this person must be an expert from the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

Seven-System Saint Kings were not common sights; each possessed extraordinary strength and status, and they would never appear here for an investigation without reason.

Clearly, this Seven-System Saint King's identity was obvious.

Moreover, just now, Xun Xiuyuan had witnessed this Seven-System Saint King perform the astonishing feat of Time Backtracking.

Such a scene made even an expert like Xun Xiuyuan feel moved.

Since advancing to a Six-Element Saint King, his perception of various Laws in the world had taken a qualitative leap; twenty years of perception were by no means in vain.

Xun Xiuyuan naturally had some experience with high-end and complex operations like Time Backtracking; after all, he was a total Cheat who had integrated all eleven-system main laws into himself.

However, despite mastering this technique, he would not use it lightly.

Because such an operation consumed an immense amount of spiritual energy, and the cost of recovery after each use was extremely high.

"Found them?"

Xun Xiuyuan maintained his indifferent expression and asked in a calm tone.

The fact that the people from the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance arrived so quickly caused Xun Xiuyuan's heart to surge with waves, but his exterior remained as steady as a mountain, without showing a single flaw.

For at this moment, Xun Xiuyuan knew that True Person Yuan Ling and the others might be in great danger.

The Time Messenger said with a very frank attitude, "I found him; it's you."

Just as the words fell, the Time Messenger felt the surrounding Void Realm begin to shatter piece by piece at an alarming speed, as if the entire world were collapsing.

Even more terrifying was that he felt his own body being torn into countless fragments under the influence of this power.

Facing this sudden crisis, the Time Messenger did not dare to be negligent. He immediately exerted all his strength, struggling to break free from the shackles of that mysterious power, and then used a Teleportation Technique toward a specific direction.

As the Teleportation Technique was successfully performed, a surge of joy couldn't help but rise in the Time Messenger's heart.

"Fortunately, I finally managed to escape."

Just as this thought rose in his mind, the next moment, he felt his neck tightly gripped by a powerful force. After that, he completely lost any ability to resist or move.

Recalling the intense duel with General Wu last time, Xun Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

If it hadn't been for the protection of the Ling Tian Pagoda at that time, Xun Xiuyuan would likely have been seriously injured or even killed on the spot.

However, in just over two short months, Xun Xiuyuan's strength had undergone a world-shaking change, far exceeding his former self.

Although the Time Messenger's combat power was not outstanding among many experts, he was a genuine Seven-System Saint King.

But at this moment, before Xun Xiuyuan, he appeared so vulnerable, without even the slightest power to resist.

Silver Sea Universe base.

True Person Yuan Ling slowly shook his head and said in a firm tone, "I did not kill General Wu."

These words came from the bottom of his heart, every word true.

In fact, General Wu's fall was not by the hand of True Person Yuan Ling; this point was certain.

As for that vice president named Kong Ling, he was still safe and sound within True Person Yuan Ling's Internal World, unaffected by any external influences.

When Bai Lang questioned True Person Yuan Ling, he had secretly used a profound Soul Secret Skill.

This secret skill could see into people's hearts and distinguish truth from falsehood.

Through the probe of the secret skill, Bai Lang clearly perceived that True Person Yuan Ling was telling the truth; he had indeed not laid a hand on General Wu.

Bai Lang's heart felt slightly relieved because of this, but he still needed to further investigate the truth to unravel the mystery of this series of events.

Nuke, however, spoke up again at this moment, "Senior, even if General Wu was not personally killed by him, this matter is clearly inextricably linked to the Yuan Ling Universe. Among the Universes in our vicinity, there is likely no other power besides the Yuan Ling Universe that possesses the strength to kill a Seven-System Saint King."

Although Nuke knew nothing of Xun Xiuyuan's true strength, this did not stop him from taking the opportunity to smear the Yuan Ling Universe, attempting to direct suspicion toward them.

At that moment, Leven also chimed in appropriately, "Senior, there indeed exists an extremely mysterious and powerful Great Saint in the Yuan Ling Universe whose power is unfathomable. Even five-element or even six-system saint kings are like ants before him and can be easily killed."

The Great Saint Leven spoke of was precisely Xun Xiuyuan.

Whether it was the clash between Xun Xiuyuan and Lai Wu, or his later feat of forcibly breaking into the Silver Sea Universe military camp, Leven had witnessed it all.
