Chapter 191 Clearing Cause and Effect

Outside the palace, on the grass, the royal women, Mo Yun, the stewards, and guards were filled with horror. On one hand, they were shocked that the dignified Minister of Finance, Lu Nador, had been publicly executed. On the other hand, they were afraid that this Lord Wu Ming would kill them as well.

"What is Lord Wu Ming doing?" They were puzzled and dared not move.

After Xu Jingming killed Lu Nador, he stood still, tilted his head slightly, and closed his eyes.

"Repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge."

"From now on, it's all settled." Xu Jingming felt incomparably comfortable and considered the cause and effect completely sorted out. The compatibility with the "Shadow of the Void" in his heart was also improving, and he naturally received more high-dimensional information.

"Without visualization, I'm already receiving so much high-dimensional information?" Xu Jingming was secretly surprised. "Sorting out cause and effect has such great benefits."

Whoosh.

With a step, Xu Jingming had already broken through the air and disappeared from this private planet, Lu Liu Star.

In a distant starry sky, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on a floating meteorite.

"Visualize the Void!"

After sorting out the cause and effect, Xu Jingming focused on visualizing the figure of the Void for the first time. The "Shadow of the Void" that had always existed in his heart suddenly became much more majestic and clearer with the visualization. A large amount of high-dimensional information instantly impacted Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness.

"Boom." A terrifying aura impacted all directions, annihilating the meteorite and impacting the starry sky.

This time, Xu Jingming didn't deliberately look for the star pirates' lair planet, so no lives were lost.

******

Lu Liu Star.

Xu Jingming had a noble status and unmatched strength. He killed Lu Nador and left, and no one dared to stop him.

But the others on the planet who wanted to leave couldn't.

"Buzz~~~" The planet's security defense system had already enveloped the entire planet, preventing the departing space ships from leaving.

Among the many spaceships were Mo Yun and other high-ranking figures, as well as some people who had come to bribe Lu Nador. At this moment, they were all panicked and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"The planet's owner, Lord Lu Nador, has been killed. The Yuanchu Research Institute and the Cosmic Human Alliance already know the news. From this moment on, Lu Liu Star is forbidden from entering or leaving, awaiting the arrival of the joint investigation team from the Yuanchu Research Institute and the Cosmic Human Alliance!"

The security system's intelligent voice echoed throughout the planet.

Lu Nador was willing to spend a lot for his own safety. Whether it was the civilization-level intelligent robot "Guardian" or the similarly valuable security defense system, they were quite powerful. Although they couldn't stop Xu Jingming, they could stop these space ships.

"We can't leave." Inside a spaceship, the royal woman Mo Yun shook her head.

"Master, Lu Nador's death has nothing to do with you. It's just a little delay," said a maid beside her.

Mo Yun glanced at the maid and sneered, "What do you know? The Yuanchu Research Institute investigation team and the Cosmic Human Alliance investigation team won't give me any face. They will conduct heavy interrogations… It's going to be a tough time."

"Heavy interrogations? Lord Wu Ming killed him, it has nothing to do with you," said the maid.

"They wouldn't dare to interrogate Lord Wu Ming," Mo Yun shook her head.

The maid blinked.

.........

On Lu Liu Star, space ships could only land, and various figures could only wait helplessly.

Only three hours later.

A black space ship arrived, broke through the atmosphere, and entered Lu Liu Star's internal airspace. The ship's hatch opened, and a group of humans in black uniforms flew out, looking down at the planet.

"The Yuanchu Research Institute investigation team hasn't arrived yet?" The leaders of this group were an old man and an old woman. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, but his back was straight, and he had a cold aura.

Having been in the Cosmic Human Alliance's official law enforcement agency for a long time, he was used to being aggressive.

"The Yuanchu Research Institute isn't like us, they don't have permanently stationed action teams." The plump old woman smiled kindly. "They only temporarily form action teams when source lifeforms from the research institute are involved. They'll be a little slower."

"Hmph, wasting time." The old man was quite dissatisfied.

"According to the order, they'll definitely arrive within six hours. Let's wait a little longer," said the old woman. "When both investigation teams arrive, we can conduct a joint investigation."

This was also to ensure that the rights of source lifeforms were not violated.

For investigations targeting "source lifeforms," in addition to the official investigation team, an investigation team from the affiliated top force was also required. The two investigation teams would supervise each other to ensure that the source lifeform was not framed or wronged.

"The Cosmic Human Alliance investigation team has arrived."

The various figures on Lu Liu Star guessed when they saw the space ship from afar, but this investigation team did not land, but waited patiently in mid-air.

Another two hours passed.

Another silver space ship came through the void, and six figures flew out of it.

The Cosmic Human Alliance official investigation team immediately went to meet them.

The Yuanchu Research Institute investigation team consisted of a tenth-order source lifeform and five source lifeforms, led by a long-eared man, Mr. Yang.

"Our official investigation team has a total of 22 people. This is our team leader, Bai Feng, and I am the deputy team leader, Yi Yunna," the plump old woman said with a smile.

"By order of Vice President Chi Meng, Mr. Yang will be the team leader, forming a temporary investigation team responsible for the Wu Ming killing Lu Nador incident." A source lifeform from the Yuanchu Research Institute said, "We must ensure that Lord Wu Ming is not subjected to any framing and ensure that the entire investigation process is open and fair."

"Framing?"

The leader of the official investigation team, Bai Feng, had a cynical look on his old face. "Wu Ming contacted the Yuansheng Civilization Emperor, Lu Naxing, through the virtual world network and killed Lu Nador during the public contact! There is no framing in this matter."

The leader of the Yuanchu Research Institute's temporary investigation team, Mr. Yang, finally spoke and smiled, "Wu Ming did kill Lu Nador. But why he killed him needs to be carefully investigated."

"First of all, I need you, Yuanchu Research Institute, to bring Wu Ming here," Bai Feng said. "I need him to cooperate with our investigation."

"Bring Wu Ming here?" Mr. Yang shook his head gently. "I'm sorry, we can't contact him."

"Can't contact him?" Bai Feng was stunned. "We in the official sector can't contact him either! What exactly is going on with this Wu Ming? He killed someone and won't cooperate with the investigation!"

"He has the right to remain silent," Mr. Yang said with a smile.

"But he has the obligation to cooperate with the investigation!" Bai Feng said angrily.

"You can pursue his failure to cooperate with the investigation and ask the official sector to punish him," Mr. Yang said. "The official sector punishing a tenth-order limit source lifeform, and a person with great merit. The review process is estimated to take a month. And it must be approved by the Yuanchu Research Institute..."

"You guys are ruthless."

Bai Feng was annoyed.

"You three major royal families are reckless and act arbitrarily." Mr. Yang looked at him. "Sometimes you need to be punished."

Bai Feng became even more angry.

The three major royal families had deep influence in the Cosmic Human Alliance official sector. After all, they were the families of three Supreme Beings and had a high say. Although with "hundreds of millions of years" as the unit of measurement, the population of the Supreme Being's family was countless, the three Supreme Beings deliberately restrained the influence of the three royal families.

But the three royal families themselves still tried to maintain their own privileges.

Bai Feng was a member of the Abyss Civilization royal family. On the matter of the royal family member being killed, they also stood from the perspective of the royal family, and they had to suppress the arrogance of these source lifeforms.

"Investigate."

Bai Feng looked down. "Interrogate everyone on Lu Liu Star who is related to this matter and find out the whole truth!"

"Yes." The investigators behind him responded in unison.

"We will assist in the investigation," Mr. Yang said with a smile. "Just ensure that the official investigation team does not make any false accusations."

"Yes." The five source lifeforms behind him responded.

..........

In the starry sky, Xu Jingming, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to contain a vast universe.

"After sorting out the cause and effect, I'm receiving more high-dimensional information." Xu Jingming felt joy in his heart. "Although the path of imitation has future troubles, the early progress is indeed rapid.

I have no inheritance. This is the fastest way to obtain enough high-dimensional information from the Xu Yuan lineage."

"The next step in the imitation method... is to take in disciples." Xu Jingming thought.

After the cause and effect was settled, the next step was to imitate the behavior of the Lord of the Void, so that he would become closer and more compatible with him.

"In fact, I can already faintly perceive the Lord of the Void's strong emotions and strong will, but I dare not imitate them." Xu Jingming sighed secretly. He learned from his exchange with Secretary-General Hei Tian that

the first drawback of the imitation method was uncontrollable abnormal emotions! If it continued, another consciousness would appear in the uncontrollable emotions. That would be the end.

Therefore, Xu Jingming did not dare to imitate the emotional and will aspects.

"First imitate the behavior and imitate the superficial aspects as much as possible. In order to receive more high-dimensional information." Xu Jingming thought.

...........

Virtual world network, personal space.

"The Cosmic Human Alliance investigation team is contacting me?"

After Xu Jingming's consciousness went online, he discovered that the other party was trying to contact him. "Unfortunately, I set a whitelist. Only those on the whitelist can contact me. Everything else is blocked."

"Buzz."

Xu Jingming contacted Seventh Uncle.

"Young Master." Seventh Uncle's shadow appeared beside him.

"Seventh Uncle, I'm preparing to take in 30 disciples. Have you screened them all?" Xu Jingming asked.

"I've already screened out 50. I'll send the detailed information to you, Young Master. You can choose 30 from them," Wu Qi said. Although Xu Jingming had asked him to directly screen 30, Wu Qi felt that taking in disciples was such an important matter that he should do the preliminary selection and then hand it over to the Young Master.

Xu Jingming quickly received the information on the 50 candidate disciples.

With a glance, he understood the millions of words and a large amount of video information.

"Let's go with these 30." Xu Jingming decided instantly. Wu Qi's son and daughter had already been determined, and now he had only selected 28 more talented young people.

******

After three days of detailed review, the official investigation team was forced to modify some of the investigation information in the face of the Yuanchu Research Institute's repeated refutation of evidence.

"Investigations should be fair and just." Mr. Yang said, signing his name. "If you didn't have any prejudice, we would have signed it long ago."

"Hmph."

Team leader Bai Feng was quite annoyed.

The investigation materials they had provided before had erased some information that was beneficial to Xu Jingming and added some information that was helpful to Lu Nador. This simple erasure and addition, without falsifying anything, completely affected the severity of the incident.

The Yuanchu Research Institute investigation team supervised together and understood all the investigation information. Therefore, they would not agree to anything unfair and would provide refuting "evidence."

There had to be sufficient evidence and reasons to refute.

So, it took three days for both parties to sign and agree to this investigation information.

In fact, with the Cosmic Human Alliance's level of technology and the Yuanchu Research Institute's skills in mental manipulation, it was very simple to interrogate ordinary people, and they would unconsciously say everything.

Logically speaking, the interrogation could be completed in one day. It took three days entirely because of the dispute between the two investigation teams.

"The Yuanchu Research Institute sent Yang over here, obviously to fully protect Wu Ming. But how much can you influence the judgment of the Cosmic Human Alliance official sector?" Bai Feng reached out and tapped lightly, uploading the information to the official sector.

"Buzz." Mr. Yang also uploaded this information to the Yuanchu Research Institute.

.........

Yuanchu Research Institute headquarters, still that secluded small building, second floor.

The wide and fat Vice President Chi Meng sat in front of his desk, a light screen floating in front of him, displaying the detailed investigation information from this incident.

As the acting president, he was currently the highest person in charge of the Yuanchu Research Institute! After all, the President was adventuring in high-dimensional space for a long time, and it would cost a lot to descend his consciousness even once, so he naturally wouldn't waste his energy dealing with these trivial matters.

"This kid Xu Jingming." Vice President Chi Meng looked at the information, and a smile appeared on his wide and fat face.
