Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 740, Accusation

He examined all the information on the token and the light curtain, and found that there were not any signs of them being affected by external forces. Therefore, it was clear that all the content was indeed released directly from the Domain Alliance.

And what was even more surprising to him was that, behind his illusory portrait and next to his basic information such as his name and race, it wrote that he was wanted for the crime of 'massacre of the entire Black Armor Race'.

Massacre of the Black Armor Race?

Ye Qingyu was initially shocked, but then did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He had become the murderer of the Black Armor Race?

How was that possible?

The Black Armor Race was indeed massacred, but Ye Qingyu had never thought that he would become the culprit in the outsiders' eyes, and even listed on the Domain Alliance's wanted list.

No, he must clarify this as soon as possible.

This was Ye Qingyu's first thought.

But he quickly realized that there was no way he could clarify everything.

The names that were on the Domain Alliance wanted list were not listed on a spur of the moment, but had been through a certain process, and they must have acquired a certain amount of evidence. In other words, since his name had made its way onto the list, then they certainly must have some very solid evidence against him.

Ye Qingyu put away the pentagonal token.

He vaguely realized that there was a huge plot approaching him.

Given everything that had happened, it definitely was not a coincidence.

Perhaps he had been framed!

From his contact with the Black Armor Race to entering the [Fallen God Abyss], Ye Qingyu acted all alone. Most of all, during his time in the [Fallen God Abyss], no one had seen him and there was no witness who would be willing to help him——Jiang Xiaohan was a witness, but it was obvious that she would never help Ye Qingyu.

Even Ye Qingyu began to suspect that this matter might have something to do with Jiang Xiaohan.

Ye Qingyu's expression grew serious.

No matter what the cause was, it was still very terrifying. The person who could arrange such a huge plot and had successfully blinded the entire Domain Alliance was definitely not a small character. And behind that person there certainly must be some extremely strong forces. Otherwise, there was no way that person had the ability to cover the sky and conceal the truth from the Domain Alliance.

Thinking of this, he was somewhat at a loss and a little annoyed.

"It's really..." Ye Qingyu realized there was a good chance that he wouldn't be able to clear his name in such a short amount of time. There was suddenly an expression of helplessness that flashed across his face.

Right now, he could truly experience first hand the injustice and helplessness Ge Ming felt in all these years.

What had happened in these three days?

Why would the Domain Alliance be certain that he had massacred the Black Armor Race?

Ye Qingyu understood that his situation was now very dangerous. He had become a person on the Domain Alliance's wanted list, which almost meant that he had to stand off against the whole world by himself.

It was believed that very soon the experts of various parties, for the reward and glory of the Domain Alliance, would flock to launch a brutal hunt for him. Thisprospect was definitely more terrifying and dangerous than the various assassinations that were initiated by the high reward of a mysterious person.

Even the thought of such a thing occurring was enough to send a chill down his spine.

But Ye Qingyu knew that time was pressing, and that it was a waste of time to investigate the truth of the Black Armor Race's massacre or to clear his name.

The Black Demon Abyss portion of the Domain rating had wasted too much time already, given that the deadline for the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps to pass through the nineteen cities of chaos was a total of one month. They needed to hurry and find the Black Demon Herb.

Ye Qingyu felt an unprecedented pressure.

The great wide world of the Domain Alliance was after all not a small place like Heaven Wasteland Domain. Ye Qingyu also knew that it was impossible for him to control and dominate everything like he did in Heaven Wasteland Domain. There were many things that had exceeded his ability, thus he had to be on full alert at all times.

However, the sudden challenge also gave him a faint excitement.

The more people there were behind this, the more likely that a mistake would be made.

And what made Ye Qingyu most relieved was that, so far, the forces behind the plot had only been targeting him and had not done anything to the other members of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps. This was the best result for him.

"Time waits for no one; I can't care about it too much. No matter what, I must first find the Black Demon Herb, complete the assessment task, and find a way to investigate the truth."

Ye Qingyu quickly made a decision.

Once he had decided, he acted immediately, without the slightest of hesitation.

His figure flashed, and with his exquisite control over his bones, skin and body, his face and figure were reconstructed like clay.

Such a change of appearance was not at all difficult for Immortal Step experts.

Now that he was listed as a wanted criminal, there was bound to be special envoys of the Domain Alliance searching for him and other experts hunting after him for the rewards.

The most urgent task for him now was to first change his appearance and disguise himself in order to buy time to find the Black Semon Herb. He planned to complete the Domain assessment task before investigating the massacre of the Black Armor Race and the truth of him being framed.

As for the disguise, whether it would work or not, he did not know.

An hour later.

He returned to the endless spiral stone steps of the Black Demon Abyss and continued to walk in the direction of the 17th district.

Because time was tight, Ye Qingyu forcibly activated the almost solidified yuan qi in his body. His speed was extremely fast, equivalent to flying speed, and frantically pushed on with his journey.

After another hour.

In a place less than one thousand metres away from the 17th district.

All of a sudden.

In the air, a very bizarre oppressive force suddenly struck.

All around shone huge flickering formations. In the void, there were light prohibition walls emerging, and the ground was flowing with the light from the formations. A number of formation were cutting through the dim space of the Black Demon Abyss...

Ye Qingyu was trapped in a formation.

Around him, within a radius of almost a dozen meters, the area was suddenly suffused with black fluorescence.

The fluorescent light penetrated the Black Demon qi, forming a huge dome that was covered in flame-like black mist.

More than ten formidable-looking figures, shrouded in Black Demon qi, were approaching the formation.

"Ye Qingyu, let's see how you can escape. The massacre of the Black Armor Race is a huge crime. Hurry up and surrender yourself, come back with us to the interrogation hall to stand trial!"

Between the tumbling demonic fog, a toneless, ice-cold voice like that of the god of death sounded all of a sudden.

The next moment.

Outside of the black fluorescence.

The figures of the several black-robed experts gradually emerged.

The black-robed figures were experts above the Immortal Step boundary.

Since they could so quickly trace him down, as well as see through his disguise, it seemed that the strength of the experts of the Black Demon Race should not be underestimated.

"Stand trial? What am I guilty of? The Black Armor Race was not massacred by me," Ye Qingyu said in a low voice.

"You massacred the entire Black Armor Race. The evidence is conclusive, we are also fully certain and had reported you to the Domain Alliance to order your arrest. Now that the matter has reached this point, do you still want to deny it?" A black-robed expert from the other direction reprimanded, fury in his voice.

"I don't know what's going on. Three days ago I was guided by the Black Armor Race to go to the [Fallen God Abyss] to pick Black Demon Herb." Ye Qingyu's voice was calm as he attempted to explain, "By the time I got out of the [Fallen God Abyss], I also passed the Black Armor Race camp and saw that they had been massacred, but I was definitely not the one who did it... There must be a misunderstanding."

"You said you went to [Fallen God Abyss] three days ago?" One of the Black Demon Race expert sneered.

"That's right." Ye Qingyu nodded.

"Haha, if you want to look for an excuse, it has to be one that is a little more persuasive. Why did you mention [Fallen God Abyss], so funny and ridiculous. Chaos broke out at the [Fallen God Abyss], and everything was destroyed. If you were there, you would have been long gone, would you still be alive?" The Black Demon Race expert laughed wildly.

"I..." Ye Qingyu wanted to explain, but didn't know what else to say.

"Haha, culprit, what else do you have to say for yourself? Leave it until the interrogation hall. Besides, the members of our arrest team are only responsible for apprehending the criminals on the wanted list," a cold and harsh voice echoed in the black fluorescent dome.

Ye Qingyu no longer explained.

He knew that he could not go with them since he did not know the truth behind the plots at all, and that it would waste a lot of time if he were to go with them.

Moreover, since the person behind all of this was capable of using the massacre of the Black Armor Race to falsely accuse him, there most likely would be other plots waiting for him during the course of the interrogation.

"Forgive me, but I cannot comply." Ye Qingyu looked at the shadows outside of the black fluorescent light, his expression serious and fierce.

"You mean you want to resist arrest?"

"What a bad excuse!"

"Don't waste time talking to the murderer, just arrest him!"

Several voices came from outside the formation in succession.

Moments later.

The several black-robed experts, who were exuding a terrifying demonic qi and destructive power, struck in an instant.

"Don't force me." Ye Qingyu repeatedly tried to tolerate their provocations.

But the Black Demon Race experts were merciless and did not hold back.

Ye Qingyu continued to endure.

He knew that he couldn't injure people again, otherwise it would be like yellow soil covering his crotch - it would be regarded as feces regardless of whatever he did.

"I mustn't continue to be entangled with them; I must leave as soon as possible."

Continuous avoidance had greatly increased Ye Qingyu's pressure. He observed the situation around and decided not to fight back. He must first leave this place, otherwise there would be more and more people coming, which would make it increasingly difficult for him to escape.

"That's it!"

His figure did not enter the icy mist, but the next moment he already appeared in midair left of the dome.

Boom!

Tyrannical physical power erupted as his fist roared towards the formation.

Bang!

An ear-splitting noise resounded.

The black fluorescent formation violently shook, splitting into a number of silver cracks. The experts of the Black Demon Race were astonished, but before they could react, Ye Qingyu was seen throwing another punch directly at the light screen formation, puncturing a large hole at least a meter wide.

Swoosh!

Ye Qingyu transformed into a silvery ice mist, directly vanishing in front of the Black Demon Race arrest team——
