After hearing Wang Shan’s account, Han Lang’s surface remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
This truth,
Apart from the fact that the Luo couple were also cultivators, which was unexpected, most of the content was almost exactly as he had guessed before.
At this moment, he did not hate Wang Shan, but transferred all his hatred to the Zhao family, who were the culprits.
"Did you hear that? For the sake of your lofty, so-called immortal cultivation families' interests, how many families have been destroyed unknowingly? How many innocents have been sacrificed?"
Han Lang’s eyes blazed with fire, and his gritting teeth gaze made Zhao Wei tremble all over.
"Why are you staring at me? This wasn't authorized by me! As immortal cultivation families, our methods of acquiring resources and interests have always been required to be reasonable and legal. This matter was merely Wang Shan acting on his own initiative!"
"You..."
Seeing Zhao Wei’s indifferent attitude, Han Lang became even more enraged. If Tang Geng hadn’t quickly held him back, his foot would have surely landed on Zhao Wei’s face by now.
But Zhao Wei, seeing this, did not try to de-escalate the situation. Instead, he sneered and mocked with disdain.
"Tch, putting on a show! If you have the guts, come at me. If you injure me today, I’ll have a legitimate reason to annihilate your Han family tomorrow!"
"My god..."
Hearing this, Han Lang could no longer tolerate it. Although his body was tightly held by Tang Geng, he still unhesitatingly activated his golden needles.
Seeing this, Tang Geng was startled.
Although he also had a bad relationship with Zhao Wei and often wanted to teach him a harsh lesson,
The other party was, after all, the young master of the Zhao family!
If anything were to happen to him at Han Lang's hands, how could the Zhao family let it go?
Therefore, he quickly advised, "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, Brother Han Lang! The fact that Wang Shan is an esper is already enough for the Zhao family to deal with. It would be truly unworthy to delay yourself because of someone like Zhao Wei at this moment!"
Tang Geng's persuasion allowed Han Lang to regain a sliver of clarity.
But at this moment,
Wang Shan, who had been completely controlled by Han Lang, suddenly flashed and attacked Zhao Wei with his claws for some unknown reason.
Zhao Wei was greatly alarmed and retreated repeatedly, quickly condensing spiritual energy in his right palm to prepare for confrontation.
Tang Geng, however, looked confused.
He couldn't understand why Wang Shan, having quietly regained his mobility, would attack Zhao Wei from afar instead of the closer Han Lang and himself.
Only Han Lang knew the reason.
He shouted in alarm, "Don't attack, he's just bluffing!"
As quick as lightning!
Zhao Wei seemed to have not heard Han Lang's reminder at all. He raised his hand without hesitation and struck directly at Wang Shan's forehead.
As the attack drew closer, Wang Shan's eyes showed no trace of worry, but were filled with the relief of liberation.
In contrast, Zhao Wei's face showed no sign of facing a formidable enemy, but a faint smile involuntarily appeared.
Only Han Lang looked tense, desperately chasing after the two.
With a "bang!"
It was as if the world had fallen silent.
Zhao Wei's palm landed precisely on Wang Shan's forehead.
Wang Shan's brain trembled, his eyes gradually lost focus, and his entire body fell backward uncontrollably.
Han Lang stopped, looking at everything before him in disbelief.
Tang Geng also widened his eyes, unable to believe what had happened in that flash of lightning. 138 Reading Network
Capturing Wang Shan alive, let alone investigating whether there were other instigators behind him, his mutated S-class esper identity alone could at least provide more detailed information about the esper infiltration plan from his mouth, right?
But now,
He had died without any warning at the hands of Zhao Wei, who was injured in the left shoulder and had greatly reduced combat power.
Was this... an accident?
As Tang Geng was pondering, Han Lang on the other side was furious.
He walked straight up to Zhao Wei, glared at him, and shouted, "Zhao Wei! Are you so impatient to silence witnesses!"
Zhao Wei was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked at Han Lang with confusion and retorted, "I don't know what you're talking about! The situation was urgent just now, and I, Zhao, had no choice but to attack. My every move was just for self-preservation!"
Han Lang sneered, "Hmph, self-preservation? I think you're eager to die with no evidence to clear your Zhao family's connection to the esper case!"
Zhao Wei was furious, "Nonsense! My Zhao family is a dignified immortal cultivation family, and we have been irreconcilably opposed to espers for generations. How could we collude with espers? If you dare to slander me again, be careful, I won't be polite!"
Han Lang was not intimidated at all, "I'm slandering you? Wang Shan's meridians were sealed by my golden needles, and he had no combat power at all! I reminded you so loudly, yet you ignored me and killed him without hesitation! If you had this ability, why didn't you use such thunderous means when Tang Geng and I were fighting hard earlier?"
Zhao Wei was somewhat speechless. After stammering for a while, he retorted again, "I was in mortal danger at the time, and the situation was so urgent, how could I have the time to pay attention to your reminder! Besides, if you say he was already sealed by you, then why could he still attack me?"
Hearing the argument between the two, Tang Geng also understood the general situation and immediately questioned.
"According to you, if Wang Shan regained his mobility, why didn't he attack us, who were closer, and instead went for you? Isn't the conspiracy implied in this obvious?"
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Wei was even more disdainful, "According to your logic, since he was sealed by you, why could he still attack? It's clear that you two are colluding with him and want to harm me while I'm injured!"
"You..."
Tang Geng was also left speechless by the retort.
Just then, Tang Haoran and the others, who had been watching from afar, also rushed to the scene.
Seeing the two red-faced individuals, the confused trio hurriedly asked about the situation.
After Han Lang and Tang Geng explained everything that had happened during the battle, everyone's expression became somber.
Ma Long, who hated evil, couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it! This kind of scum, why don't we take the opportunity to finish him off here! We can blame it on Wang Shan."
Tang Qin glared at him fiercely upon hearing this, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if everything is obvious, we are only guessing now. Moreover, he is still a member of the Zhao family from Star City. If he dies here inexplicably, do you think we can escape responsibility?"
While everyone was indignant, only Tang Haoran stood tall and deliberately spoke to everyone in a voice that Zhao Wei could hear.
"Forget it, forget it! Since both sides have their own reasons, I don't think we should argue here anymore. Later, we will report all the details of the case to the higher-level Special Investigation Bureau. I believe that our doubts will also be theirs, and they will investigate the truth of the matter!"
Tang Qin immediately understood and loudly added, "Yes, yes! Instead of arguing endlessly here, it's better to hand this difficult problem over to the higher-level Special Investigation Bureau. I believe that at that time, the Zhao family will also give us a satisfactory explanation!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wei also echoed sarcastically, "That's right! I, the dignified Zhao family, have no need to explain anything to you! At that time, at the higher-level Special Investigation Bureau, there will be a fair judgment. I am also injured today, so I will not accompany you further. You are welcome to come to the higher-level Special Investigation Bureau to impeach my Zhao family. Heh heh..."
With that, he turned to leave.
Seeing this, Han Lang wanted to chase after him, but saw Tang Haoran pull him and gently shake his head.
