CHAPTER 1613: CHAPTER 10: DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BULLY THE WEAK?

"Jia Yan mentioned he was here? Could it be that he had called Sir Mo Ke beforehand?"

The elders of the Tianhe Force, upon hearing Jia Yan’s voice, their eyes lit up one by one.

They had never thought that the current Jia Yan was that powerful. Although they also doubted whether Jia Yan now could already match a semi-permanent star level genius with intermediate talent, they never thought Jia Yan had reached the point where he could rival someone with high-level talent at the semi-permanent star level.

After all, the gap between intermediate talent and high-level talent is extremely large. For them, it was acceptable that this exceptional genius reached a level to compete with them, but it was impossible to accept that he could actually fight someone with high-level talent at the semi-permanent star level.

Although they couldn’t see Jia Yan’s strength, they could vaguely sense that he had at least not reached the semi-permanent star level. In such circumstances, even if Jia Yan was a highly talented genius, how could he possibly leap across levels to fight a strong one of the same high-level talent at the semi-permanent star level?

"Haha, Sir Mo Ke is actually here, let’s see how arrogant they can be!"

"That’s right, with Sir Mo Ke’s black hole tactic, those from the Dark Realm would surely run for their lives."

The elders’ spirits were lifted, but their words left Jia Yan slightly bewildered.

"What Mo Ke? I haven’t invited Sir Mo Ke this time," Jia Yan said strangely.

"Uh?"

"What did Jia Yan just say? I seem to have heard he said he didn’t invite Sir Mo Ke, then now..."

"He doesn’t intend to reason with those from the Dark Realm by himself, right? They aren’t easy to deal with."

A group of elders stood as if struck by lightning, almost dumbfounded.

They thought Jia Yan had invited Mo Ke, or else how could he dare to say such a thing with confidence.

Yet, Jia Yan said it, and at this time, without waiting for them to say more, he flew straight out of the Debate Hall towards the group of strong ones speaking in the universe.

"Jia Yan actually faced them himself, it’s not right; it’s too dangerous."

"Let’s go up too, at least not let him get seriously injured. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just give up some Star Soil, and wait for our Tianhe Force to become stronger in the future to take it back."

The group of elders looked at each other, then reluctantly followed Jia Yan.

Without Mo Ke as a backing, they really didn’t dare to speak to the other party.

And just as Jia Yan flew up, not only did this group of extremely reluctant elders follow him, but in a secluded place on the main star of the Tianhe Force, a massive healing creature also became slightly tense, let out a sigh.

"Never mind, since the situation is like this, even if I suffer severe wounds again, I must make a move."

The creature sighed, then shook off various healing instruments on its body.

Then it stood up, its entire aura surged crazily, and it began flying towards the starry sky as well.

"Tianhe Force, come out!"

"That’s right, give us an explanation, you murderers!"

Outside, there were eight powerful creatures reaching the semi-permanent star level, and among them, three were strong ones with high-level talent at the semi-permanent star level.

One of them was the leader of the BeiTuan Faction that Jia Yan had met in the Dark Realm around the Tianhe Force back then. It was because Jia Yan destroyed one of BeiTuan’s fleets that he had to venture into another Dark Realm to develop the Ting Tian Pavilion.

As for the other semi-permanent star-level creatures, Jia Yan was somewhat unfamiliar with them, overall they seemed to be here to take advantage of the situation.

"Hmm? Finally daring to come out, but why is it a flying creature I don’t recognize."

"I seem to find him familiar."

"No, this is... Jia Yan?! A genius at the venerable level with good talent from the Tianhe Force back then."

In the sky, the eight strong ones saw Jia Yan and the group of elders behind him, and they were astonished.

Their purpose this time was to intimidate the Tianhe Force. After all, in a normal Star Zone, even a leader from the Dark Realm would not dare to kill in broad daylight. The genius battlefield was still managed by the official authority, and they had to abide by some rules when out in the open.

But if the Tianhe Force refused to comply, they would have reason to kill some people, and as long as it wasn’t excessive, the official of the genius battle domain wouldn’t care about such minor disputes.

Originally, they thought that by coming over and applying pressure, the heavily injured Tian Rongguang would appear, but they didn’t expect Tian Rongguang not to show up, instead, a genius from the Tianhe Force, whom they thought had disappeared, came forward.

"Greetings, Seniors."

Jia Yan stood before this group of strong creatures and greeted them courteously without losing composure.

Though the other party’s brainwave power level superficially seemed stronger than Jia Yan’s, he was determined not to act disrespectfully out of impetuousness since avoiding conflict was preferable.

"You’re called Jia Yan, right? I remember that back then, Mo Ke claimed to be your master and deceived us, saying he killed members of our North Group. But after our investigation, it was actually your Tianhe Force that did it. Daring to deceive us, how audacious!"

The leader of the North Group, standing before Jia Yan, fixed his gaze on him intently. However, when mentioning "Mo Ke," his tone changed noticeably, indicating some apprehension regarding Mo Ke’s presence.

"Senior, you’re mistaken. Mo Ke said he was the one who killed them, and he’s not someone who lies."

Jia Yan responded calmly to the leader.

In fact, Jia Yan was the one who killed them, and Mo Ke was his alias. Now, affirming that Mo Ke was the killer was absolutely correct.

"Hmph, you’re just a small fry. Whether Mo Ke killed them or not cannot be confirmed by your mere words. Or are you saying that Mo Ke is here, getting you to say all this?"

The other party restrained his anger, his eyes flickering with a hint of murderous intent as he looked at Jia Yan.

To them, the brainwave power fluctuation emanating from Jia Yan seemed to be at the early stages of the respect or subsequent level. Although the total power was impressive, he was still viewed as a junior, incapable of threatening them.

Furthermore, they continued conversing amicably as the topic was about Mo Ke, wondering if the renowned ’Mo Ke’ might actually be nearby.

They were genuinely apprehensive about the Mo Ke, who had caused a sensation across the entire battlefield.

However, Jia Yan’s response slightly reassured them.

"Mo Ke hasn’t come. I’m just discussing matters with you all; whether Mo Ke is here or not shouldn’t matter, right?" Jia Yan said calmly.

Upon relaxing, the eight strong beings exchanged glances.

To them, their immense strength was uncontested. If Mo Ke, who once annihilated an entire team of semi-permanent stellar-level geniuses, were present, they might have hesitated. But if it’s just Jia Yan and the strong ones from Tianhe Force, they had absolutely nothing to fear.

"Haha, since Mo Ke isn’t here, you, a mere junior, what right do you have to speak up? Still, out of respect for your master’s name, step aside and let us negotiate with the Tianhe Force. After all, while murder demands retribution, we merely require some compensation, which is already quite considerate towards Mo Ke."

"Indeed, you, a junior, it’s fortunate we don’t hold you accountable for disrespecting a strong being. Do you still wish to speak up for the Tianhe Force?"

The eight strong beings now had gleaming eyes, gazing at the elders of Tianhe Force behind Jia Yan, with each exuding fierce intent, rising to the surface.

Killing a high-level talent semi-permanent star-level being would incur intervention and punishment from the genius battlefield, but if they kill a few intermediate talent semi-permanent star-level elders, the official of the genius battlefield might not get involved. Among them were three high-level talent semi-permanent stars, whose influence far surpassed that of the opponents.

"So you’re saying you..."

"Do you truly intend to bully the weak with your power?!"

As the factions demanding justice flung bold words, Jia Yan’s gaze also shifted, and around his body, a faint brainwave power began to swirl.

This power didn’t seem strong, but whether it was the elders of the Tianhe Force around him or the eight strong ones standing before him, they all suddenly felt a surge of shock in their hearts.

Nonetheless, after a slight change in demeanor, the eight strong beings settled back into their savage expressions. Even if Jia Yan’s brainwave power seemed peculiar, the actual power level released was still solidly at the respect level, which made them even more confident. Facing a dignitary-level opponent, they could easily squash him.

Just as the confrontation was on the brink of breaking out.

"Who dares to touch him!"

An overwhelming power roared from behind Jia Yan and the others, and then an imposing figure suddenly appeared, swiftly positioning itself in front of Jia Yan, shielding him.

Upon seeing this towering silhouette, all the creatures on the Tianhe Force’s side were startled and then suddenly filled with joy.

Because this strong presence was the strongest within Tianhe Force and the main pillar of the entire force, Lord Tian Rongguang, whom many believed was severely injured previously.

Jia Yan had already anticipated Tian Rongguang’s emergence from the star body, but he hadn’t expected him to protect him at such a critical moment.

Others might not perceive it, but Jia Yan could sense that Tian Rongguang’s injuries were severe, and though he appeared to be in good condition, combat would impose significant long-term damage.

"Haha, I was wondering who it was; turns out to be our Lord Tian Rongguang. What? Tian Rongguang, are you willing to use your injured body to protect this kid? Do you really think you can manage that?"

"Indeed, Tian Rongguang, we all know your strength. Even among high-level talented semi-permanent stars, you’re just average. Each of the three of us could easily defeat you in your prime. Now, are you seeking death by daring to come out while injured?"

The eight powerful beings laughed, especially those with high-level talents, laughing contemptuously to the extreme.
