722 The Price of Protection!

"No matter who Xia Wu really is, he is a member of my Skywing Clan!" Xia Buyun firmly said.

Everyone did not dare to believe their ears. Guli was a criminal wanted by the Law Realm, and normal people would try their best to avoid him. What sort of person would happily bathe themselves in filthy water?! Were the Skywings really insane?! They knew who Guli was and still wanted to protect him? This was a blatant challenge to the God Race!

On the other side, Law Overlord Qin Huang scowled. As the saying went, 'do not fear god-like foes, only pig-like allies.' This saying was entirely on the mark. He had taken great risks to help the Moonward Clan by attacking the Galewind Garden so that he might have the protection of the Moonward Clan in the future; alas, before this matter was even settled, the Moonwards had already abandoned him.

Witnessing the resolve of the Skywing Clan and then the selfishness of the Moonward Clan, Qin Huang shouted and jumped out, glaring with red eyes at Golcen Ward and Ulcen Ward. "I must have been blind! I actually believed the words of you scoundrels!"

*Whoosh~*

Qin Huang snatched out with his right hand, as a converted power of the Law of Matter hurtling out like a golden light washing over the living room. He knew that he did not have long to live and sought to take the lives of the two brothers!

*Beng!*

The Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, who had been standing guard in the room, immediately subdued Qin Huang!

*Clack! Crack!*

Busey broke both of Qin Huang's arms, and the room resounded with his despairing howls.

"Hmph! The mighty Dragon Ascension won't permit the impudence of a hoodlum like you! Take him away and have him carefully interrogated!" Kuzan Feng coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

Busey dragged Qin Huang out. Qin Huang had already been heavily injured, and now, after taking the combined blow from the Four Heavenly Kings, he was like a dead dog. As Busey seized him, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"I won't accept it! All of this was Golcen Ward's plan! He had me attack the Skywing Clan! I won't accept it! I won't!"

Qin Huang howled with all his strength, and the faces of the Ward brothers darkened. They only hated that they were in Dragon Ascension and had no means of silencing Qin Huang and putting an end to this massive liability.

Kuzan Feng turned around and solemnly asked Xia Buyun, "Brother Buyun, are you sure about this? Guli is a criminal wanted by those above!"

Xia Buyun was unmoved. "There's no need to even think about it. Xia Wu is the caretaker of the Skywings. No matter what his surname is, he's a member of the Skywings."

Xia Wu was stunned and looked deeply at Xia Buyun, tears running down his face. His gratitude was beyond words!

"Serving the Skywings is the best decision this Guli has ever made!" Xia Wu hoarsely said.

Xia Buyun smiled at Xia Wu and said, "Grandpa Wu has done so much for us that the Skywings should be thanking you, instead."

Kuzan Feng grimaced. If he pushed the issue too hard, the Skywings might turn hostile. After all, the Skywings were infamous for their unreasonableness. However, it was not as if he could not intervene, for numerous eyes up high were watching him.

As he hesitated, Busey returned from putting Qin Huang in a cell.

Kuzan Feng sternly said, "Master Guli, there are several old affairs that your cooperation is sought. Will you go?"

Guli stood up and replied, "I will do as requested."

Kuzan Feng nodded. He was already speaking very politely. The God Race had wanted Kuzan Feng to arrest Guli, but out of respect for the Skywings, Kuzan Feng had not done that.

Suddenly, Skywing Patriarch Xia Buyun ordered, "Grandpa Wu, please sit down. No one can take away one of the Skywings, not even the Dragon Ascension's Feng family!"

*Zing!*

A fire erupted in Kuzan Feng's chest as he shouted, "Brother Buyun, I am only requesting his cooperation with an investigation. When did I imply that I would be making trouble for the Skywings?!"

Xia Buyun coldly snorted. "If there's anything that's needed to be said, it can be said here. Grandpa Wu is a part of the Skywings; even if I were to agree, the grand ancestor would certainly not permit anyone from taking away a member of our clan!"

Xia Buyun was truly stubborn, and he was even openly defying Kuzan Feng. It was as if he did not care that he was up against a Superior Law Overlord, who was far more powerful than he was!

There was nothing to be done. The Skywings were just that unreasonable!

Kuzan Feng was so angry that he slapped his chair! *Pa!*

"Madmen! Nothing but madmen!"

Golcen Ward and Ulcen Ward were only too happy to watch, telling themselves, 'Our Moonward Clan is no match for the Skywings, but they even dared to offend the Dragon Ascension?! They must hate living! I'd like to see how much power you Skywings really have to even defy the will of the God Race!'

Kuzan Feng stood up and swiftly walked out. "Everyone, please wait a moment; I will be back soon!"

He had a truly nasty look on his face. It was easy to see that Kuzan Feng was going to consult the God Race!

Guli immediately bowed to Xia Buyun and emotionally said, "Patriarch, this Guli is a criminal. Serving three generations of Skywing patriarchs is already enough for me! Just let me go with them."

Xia Buyun shook his head and helped Guli into his seat, earnestly saying, "Grandpa Wu, this concerns the dignity of our clan. Since ancient times, we have never abandoned a single member of ours, not in the past and not in the future, either! If I let you go today, I would become the greatest criminal of the Skywing Clan; not even the grand ancestor would let me off if he were to learn of this!"

He coldly looked around at everyone in the room and declared, "The universe is vast, but nothing is greater than the rules of the Skywing Clan!"

...

The Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension had finally witnessed for themselves the stubbornness of the Skywings. Not even pressure from the God Race could match the rules of the Skywing Clan. The vexation of those important individuals on high was nothing compared to the importance of the rules!

A few moments later, Kuzan Feng returned to the living room with a cold face. It seemed that his consultation with the God Race had not gone smoothly.

Kuzan Feng took a sip from his tea before saying, "Guli doesn't need to take part in the investigation, but until this matter is concluded, he can't leave the Galewind Garden, otherwise the Skywings will have to take responsibility!"

*Zing~*

These words were like thunderclaps. Everyone paled, for it meant that the God Race had compromised! The powerful God Race had chosen to compromise with the Skywings! This was too absurd!

Truly the sealed demonic blade! The Skywings were not just well known in White Horse Constellation; they also had a resounding reputation in the God Race! Otherwise, there was no way that the God Race would cast aside its dignity and accept the Skywings' conditions!

No one knew what had happened in the God Race in the last few minutes, but everyone could see the result. The Skywings had won a complete victory. Even the God Race was more inclined to preserve this cursed blade, and the Moonward Clan was about to become a sacrificial offering!

"This isn't fair! Guli is a criminal wanted throughout the Law Realm! How could he be allowed to remain with the Skywings?!" Golcen Ward furiously demanded.

Despair began to creep into his heart. This battle was no longer one he could fight. It all depended on the grand ancestors of each clan.

The God Race that none of them could interact with might already be in utter chaos over this matter, and since the God Race had decided to let Guli go, it most likely meant that the Moonward grand ancestor had lost in this clash! Golcen Ward realized that he was about to lose the protection of the God Race, so how could he not be worried?!

Kuzan Feng snorted. "Hmph! Fair?! The Law Realm has never been fair. If you think it's unfair, you Moonwards can try your own tricks, but that depends on whether you're capable or not!"

Kuzan Feng could not beat Xia Buyun, and Golcen Ward made himself the perfect target for his anger, so Kuzan Feng poured out all his resentment on the man.

Golcen Ward hatefully stared at Xia Fei. He found Xia Fei more and more annoying, and his eyes blazed.

All of this had started because of Xia Fei. No one could have imagined that a minor character like Xia Fei would have Skywing blood, which ultimately led to riling up the madmen of the Skywing Clan and causing the situation to spin out of control. In the end, the mighty Moonwards were devastated. Thus, Golcen Ward truly hated Xia Fei down to his bones.

Xia Buyun nodded. "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave. We still have unfinished business!"

His eyes were cold and sinister. Xia Buyun clearly had no plans of letting the Moonward Clan go. Once he left High Water Pavilion, the war was bound to continue until the Moonwards had been completely eradicated!

Kuzan Feng stretched out a hand and stopped Xia Buyun, sternly saying, "I was just about to bring this up with the two patriarchs. Although those above have decided to let Guli off, this doesn't come without conditions."

Everyone was startled and listened attentively. After all, he was relaying the will of the God Race. No one could just ignore this group of experts who stood at the apex of the universe.

Dryly coughing, Kuzan Feng announced, "Guli's case can be dropped, but if the war between your two clans continues to expand in scope, it will draw in the entire White Horse Constellation, perhaps even unsettle the entire Law Realm."

Xia Buyun loudly laughed. "These words make sense. The Skywings never have any intention of bringing in ordinary people in the first place."

He glared at Golcen Ward in disdain. If Golcen Ward had not decided to play with mob tactics and only used his elites, while the Moonward Clan had more Law Emperors than the Skywings, there would still be no guarantee about the final outcome.

Speed was the most heaven-defying ability in the Law Realm, and the Skywings were madmen of speed! No clan was bold enough to try and fight these madmen!

Golcen Ward turned ghastly pale and he grimly asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Kuzan Feng shook his head. "Those above said that since your two clans won't rest until one is dead, they have no intention of stopping it, but as they can't allow the common people to be caught up in this fight, they have decided to settle this through a deathmatch, with the loser withdrawing from the Law Realm!"

The Skywings were unmoved, but Golcen Ward felt his heart thumping up against his chest. Only a few minutes ago, the Moonward Clan had lost nearly twenty Law Emperors, and even Law Overlord White Ward had been brought down by the Skywings' wolfpack tactics. At this moment, the Moonwards were disadvantaged in both numbers and morale. If they were not allowed to use mob tactics, they were foreordained to lose this battle!

Kuzan Feng sternly said, "In one month, at a location of my specification, two Skywing Law Overlords and Xia Fei will battle two Moonward Law Overlords and the Yu Clan's Yu Hua!

"Let me declare right here that this is an order of the highest level, and neither patriarch can influence this decision. If you don't agree, both clans will both be driven out of White Horse Constellation and forbidden from entering the Law Realm ever again! At the same time, Guli will be handed over to the Law Enforcement Board!"

The Xia family paled while the Ward family rejoiced!

Golcen Ward versus Xia Buyun, a level 5 Law Overlord versus a level 2 Law Overlord—the Moonward Clan had the advantage!

Ulcen Ward versus Xia Tian, a level 3 Law Overlord versus a level 1 Law Overlord—the Moonward Clan had the advantage!

Yu Hua versus Xia Fei, level 7 Great Law Emperor versus a level 1 Law Emperor—the Moonward Clan still had the advantage!

The three fighters of the Xia Clan all had to fight people above their level!

The balance of victory had begun to tilt in the other's favor!
