Upon hearing these words, everyone present fell silent.
Although there might be a conspiracy hidden behind this incident, and Ye Xuan was to some extent innocent.
But Ye Xuan had come into contact with the Origin of Life and released the evil dragon.
That was an undeniable fact.
Tears once again fell from the corners of Tang Xuerou’s eyes.
"My father said before he died, Ye Xuan is a key, not only to open the door but also to close the channel that relentlessly sends out evil dragons from the Nest of Life, so he must come with me."
Liu Ruyan then interjected, "Don’t speak so definitively; what Tang Tianxing said was also just speculation..."
Tang Xuerou directly retorted, "So what if it’s speculation? Who among you has a better idea right now?"
At a moment when the others didn’t know how to respond.
Ye Xuan stood up and said earnestly, "If that’s really the case, then I shall go. This matter began because of me; naturally, I should be the one to put an end to it."
He had managed to live a second time.
Yet today, three years later, he must offer up his life once again.
If this was a joke the heavens were playing on him.
Then the joke was simply too cruel.
However, since the Nest of Life was brought by him and had caused so much trouble.
Then Ye Xuan had the responsibility to thoroughly resolve it.
It was his duty, as well as his principle.
Hearing Ye Xuan speak , Tang Xuerou also fell silent.
She could distinctly feel Ye Xuan’s earnestness and determination.
But her father’s words still echoed in Tang Xuerou’s ears.
Disturbing her from making the right judgment.
Liu Ruyan suddenly acted out of character, blocking the doorway.
"Ye Xuan, maybe Tang Tianxing’s speculation is indeed correct, but I can’t let you go."
Ye Xuan looked at the strongest woman of White Cloud City, somewhat puzzled.
"Because things haven’t spiraled out of... control yet, the authorities above, in order to preserve the rewards of the secret realm, would not choose to close the Nest of Life directly..."
Ye Xuan noticed that as Liu Ruyan said this,
Her fists were clenched tightly.
Clearly, making such a decision against her will wasn’t her doing.
It was the result of some high-level officials,
Acting recklessly regardless of the situation.
"Haven’t spiraled out of control, can you look at the situation outside and say that again?"
He Yalan finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
When she saw Ye Xuan killing people earlier,
She had an extremely intense aversion to the loss of life.
And now, White Cloud City was almost littered with corpses everywhere.
Making He Yalan suppress her nausea just to get here.
And Liu Ruyan was saying that things hadn’t spiraled out of control?
Could it be that the high-level officials will only choose to close the secret realm after everyone in White Cloud City has perished?
If so, what’s the point!
Ke Feng awkwardly chimed in from the side: "Ye Xuan, He Yalan, please understand, although we are official personnel of White Cloud City.
But from the perspective of the national level, Sister Liu is just a minor local leader after all, there are many decisions we disagree with but are powerless to change..."
Ke Feng’s words were on the one hand expressing his and Liu Ruyan’s helplessness.
On the other hand, it also served to make Ye Xuan and the others face reality.
Although White Cloud City is large, from the perspective of the entire Da Xia Country, it is not indispensable.
[WARNING, WARNING, detection of a super-large hidden evil dragon’s appearance, please immediately keep your distance...please immediately keep your distance...]
Suddenly, this blood-red text popped up in the bottom right corner of everyone’s vision.
And this time, there was no need for Ye Xuan to identify it with the All-Seeing Eye.
The panel of the hidden evil dragon was sent out right after the warning.
"Izar? Isn’t that the wanted criminal who stole the national treasure from Avalon that the higher-ups wanted us to capture?"
Ke Feng looked at Liu Ruyan with some confusion.
But Liu Ruyan took a sharp intake of breath.
"This...this can’t be, he can’t possibly appear here..."
At this moment, Ye Xuan said: "Because he has already gone to another world?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Xuan in shock.
"How do you know that?"
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, and then said, "Before this happened, I met Izar’s lover. She entrusted me to find the whereabouts of this man who, in your eyes, is a wanted criminal..."
Ye Xuan recounted the matter of Master Mo entrusting him to find Izar.
He also took out the item named Divine Fruit, which was actually a class-changing fruit, to show everyone.
"In any case, the matter of the great explorer stealing Avalon’s national treasure is, in essence, a complete lie, an illusion released by the upper echelons to cover up certain truths. Am I right, Sister Liu?"
Liu Ruyan nodded heavily.
"You guessed correctly, the reason why the authorities have listed him as a wanted criminal is purely to cover up the truth..."
Afterwards, Liu Ruyan began to narrate a piece of unknown history to everyone.
"Three years ago, when Academy Number One first discovered the Origin of Life, the official personnel approached them, expressing the desire to explore this new secret realm together. White Cloud City had not had a new secret realm for too long.
Therefore, the level of the class-changers had been declining year by year, and at the time, Academy Number One was determined to disagree, stating that since the secret realm appeared within the boundaries of the academy, it rightfully belonged to the academy, and even the officials had no right to interfere."
Liu Ruyan looked at Tang Xuerou, who was eager to ask questions.
She then continued: "At that time, Tang Tianxing had not been appointed as the dean of Academy Number One, so it is not surprising that you father and daughter are unaware of this secret.
Now it makes sense why Li Xingyu acted the way he did, after all, the dean of Academy Number One at the time was his father, Li Xinghe."
Ye Xuan reminded her: "We don’t need to know these background relationships, just tell us directly, what exactly is the official hiding?"
Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Things have come to this point, there’s no point in hiding it any longer, Ye Xuan...
And the other two young ladies, remember, although the government usually tries hard to maintain an image of fairness, impartiality, and openness, as an organization established by people, it naturally also possesses human flaws, greed being one of them."
Liu Ruyan sat down in her chair and poured herself some water.
She didn’t care that the cup had been used by Ke Feng, and took a big gulp.
"After being refused by Academy Number One, the officials sought cooperation with Avalon to jointly develop a method that could teleport a person directly into the secret realm from a distance."
He Yalan, being academically challenged, was at this moment bewildered by the arcane knowledge spewing from Liu Ruyan’s mouth.
Seeing He Yalan’s condition, Ye Xuan explained it all to her in plain and simple terms.
