Chapter 139 The Descent of Immortality
The newly arrived female realm master had a dignified appearance, but there was no law mark on her forehead, so she was obviously just an ordinary realm master.
"I am Manyin, the leader of the Black Dragon Mountain branch."
This female realm master maintained respect for the strong, and after introducing herself, she continued, "Lord Lei Luo may have some misunderstandings. The cause of this incident stems from my student being trapped in the Thousand Fire World." She briefly recounted the events, and concluded, "From the time my student sent the distress email to the time this young man arrived at the secret realm, the records of the virtual universe are not false. He simply did not have time to compete for any Thunder Annihilation Stone."
"The whole matter is full of suspicious points, and Lord Lei Luo's handling of the matter clearly violates company regulations. You have the right to protest, but the right to investigate should belong to our Heilongshan branch."
After Man Yin finished speaking calmly and confidently, Shi Lan exclaimed in approval, "Listen to that! Now that's what you call reasonable and well-founded! Unlike some people who just find a few underlings to give false testimony and try to frame you!"
"Lei Luo, who can't see through your little scheme? Aren't you just jealous of my student's wealth?" Shi Lan sneered, "Get lost before things escalate."
Lei Luo remained silent for a moment, clearly still unwilling to give up. He shook his head and said, "This is only one side of the story from your branch, and it is not credible. The person must be handed over to our Qianwu branch for investigation."
"Don't worry, I will ensure the safety of your students."
"Looks like you're determined to play the rogue." Shi Lan was utterly enraged by the other party's shamelessness, and laughed in fury, "Fine! You want to take my student away? You'll have to get past me first!"
"You are no match for me, Shi Lan."
Lei Luo said indifferently, "Perhaps your understanding of the laws is not bad, but after all, you can only stay in a small star field branch. In terms of the mastery of secret techniques, we are far inferior."
"A mere Eternal Star student is not worth your trouble. Otherwise, if you get injured and need to recuperate for hundreds of years, it may delay your core assessment."
Shi Lan sneered: "Alright, I'd like to see what level the genius realm master of the Qianwu branch is at."
"If you can seriously injure me, I will be completely convinced!"
"I hope your strength is as tough as your mouth." Lei Luo gave Shi Lan a deep look, then turned to the other Realm Lord on the field: "Man Yin, are you going to stop me too?"
Man Yin hesitated. Although they were both realm masters, the difference in strength between them was too great. She probably couldn't even withstand a single move.
Shi Lan noticed her concerns: "Man Yin, go protect the students. You don't need to participate in the battle here."
Hearing this, Manyin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes, Lord Shilan."
Shi Lan looked at Lei Luo: "We're too close to the planet here, let's go deep into space to fight."
"You're not trying to stall me so that Manin can escape with those students, are you?" Lei Luo's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
"Don't worry, I keep my word." Shi Lan narrowed her eyes. "If you're still worried, how about we sign a contract under the witness of the virtual universe?"
If it were Shi Lan before he obtained the Nine Luminaries Body, he probably would have done so, but now—he genuinely wants to fight Lei Luo and test his own strength.
After all, even within the Qianwu branch, Lei Luo was among the top-ranked realm masters, and he even had a considerable chance of passing the core level assessment.
If he can defeat his opponent head-on, it also means that he has a sure thing about securing a spot in the core layer.
"No need to sign a contract, I trust you," Lei Luo said calmly. Signing a contract would be tantamount to exposing one's weaknesses under the supervision of the virtual universe, so why would he leave any evidence against him?
"Let's go, let's go deep into the starry sky."
As soon as Lei Luo finished speaking, the two of them transformed into streaks of light and left. With the strength of a peak Realm Lord, their movement techniques could already reach the 'sub-light speed' level. Before long, they arrived at a void and dark area.
Meanwhile, Realm Master Manyin arrived at the Azure Fox. Chen Yuan knew she was Xia's teacher, so he had Irene open the hatch.
Let them in.
"teacher!"
Inside the cabin, Xia rushed over and bowed respectfully.
Manyin nodded, then looked at Chen Yuan with a smile: "Thanks to you this time, Chen Yuan."
"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have had any good way to save my student."
"It was nothing," Chen Yuan smiled. "I just happened to have this E-class spaceship that my teacher gave me, which is how I was able to bring Xia out safely."
"No matter what, I owe you a lot for your help this time."
Manyin smiled, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "However, now that you're being watched by Lei Luo, this spaceship is no longer very safe."
"While Lord Shi Lan is keeping him occupied, I suggest you leave immediately."
Seeing Chen Yuan's expression shift slightly, she quickly added, "Of course, I don't think Lord Shi Lan will lose, it's just that the opponent is, after all, the realm lord of the Qianwu branch, and his strength is not weak, so it's better to play it safe."
"I understand your concerns, Lady Manyin." Chen Yuan chuckled and shook his head. "However, you heard what my teacher just said. I cannot leave until my teacher's battle is over."
At this point, he changed the subject: "However, this matter is ultimately a grudge between me and Lei Luo, and it shouldn't involve you."
"So, Xia, you all go with Lady Manin first. I'll stay here alone."
Upon hearing this, Manyin's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. As long as her students weren't involved, she immediately nodded, "Okay."
But Xia firmly objected: "No, I can't leave you alone."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been targeted by Lei Luo. How could I leave alone at a time like this?"
"Xia!" Manyin said in a deep voice, "You should know that even if you stay, it won't make any difference."
"The other party is Lei Luo, the Lord of the Thunder Origin Realm, someone even your teacher wouldn't dare to provoke."
"I'm not afraid," Xia said stubbornly. "Besides, with Chen Yuan's spaceship here, Lei Luo can't do anything to us."
"Just this Blue Fox?"
Man Yin frowned. She naturally recognized this ship, which had once been Shi Lan's vehicle. "It's just an E3-class spaceship. How could it possibly withstand Lei Luo's attack?"
"Let alone E3 level, with Lei Luo's strength, even an E9 level spaceship might not be able to withstand a Primal World Lord."
"Teacher, you're wrong."
Xia retorted, "Before you arrived, Lei Luo had already attacked us, but he failed to break through the spaceship's defenses."
Are you serious?
Manyin nodded slightly, this was something she hadn't expected. She looked at Zhi, who nodded and said, "Xia is right, we saw it with our own eyes."
"How did you do that?"
Man Yin turned to look at Chen Yuan, her expression one of disbelief: "The Azure Fox shouldn't have such a powerful defense, capable of withstanding an attack from a peak Origin Realm Lord!"
"It was just a tiny, minor modification."
Chen Yuan smiled, crossed his index finger and index finger, and made a gesture.
"No wonder you dared to stay behind alone; it turns out you had something to rely on—"
Manyin gave Chen Yuan a deep look, then changed the subject: "However, I still don't recommend that Xia stay here."
"After all, the wealth you've spent has already attracted the attention of the Realm Lord Kai. If Xia is exposed because of this, it will only lead to even greater trouble."
Manyin shook her head as she spoke: "That's why I've always kept Xia from spending money recklessly. If Xia's wealth is exposed, you'll be a cautionary tale."
Chen Yuan agreed with this, and he turned to Xia and said, "Xia, you heard it too. I also think it's not appropriate for you to stay here any longer. After all, your secrets are much bigger than mine."
"I—" Xia hesitated.
Unlike in the secret realm, where she trusted Chen Yuan's strength and was therefore able to let him cover their retreat, now Chen Yuan is facing a realm lord!
At this moment, Cecilia, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "It's alright, Kasumi, you don't need to leave."
"He's just a minor realm lord; he can't do anything to you."
Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, turning to look at the intelligent life form girl. Manyin couldn't help but exclaim, "You're the intelligent life form inherited from the Thousand Flames World? What arrogance! You don't even put the World Lord in your eyes?"
Man Yin herself is a Realm Lord, so of course she can't stand others looking down on Realm Lords: "I remember, your master is only a Realm Lord, right? It's hard to say whether he can compare to Lei Luo, after all, the other party is a peak Origin Realm Lord."
"Is the Lord of the Origin Realm very strong?"
Cecilia proudly raised her chin. "You're nothing but a fart in front of my old master."
"You'll soon find out why I said that."
"You—" Man Yin frowned, and just as she was about to ask a question, her expression suddenly changed.
"Wait, this is—the aura of immortality?!"
"An immortal has descended!"
She suddenly widened her eyes.
