Against Heaven's Will Chapter 118 Token Of Apology

"President Wu! It's President Wu from Trade Union!" the Commentator introduced the sudden visitor.

Most of the crowd was seeing the man for the first time while Xuefeng, on the other hand, already knew him very well.

He frowned and swiftly pulled Nuwa behind him while drawing his Dragon Edge. He aimed its tip at President Wu's head without hesitation, as if it was an instinct, protecting his dearest at all cost.

"Oh!"

The Commentator exclaimed at Xuefeng's actions but Xuefeng had his reasons. How else would one react when a person who wanted to kill you this whole time appeared right in front of you?

"Oiii, is this how my grandson-in-law greets me?" President Wu asked with a smirk as he walked towards them only to stop, slas.h.i.+ng forward with his hand to block a warning Wind Qi Blast from Xuefeng's swing of the blade.

"Where is Wu?" Xuefeng questioned Nuwa while keeping his gaze on the target. "Why would you come with him? He tried to repeatedly kill me."

"Oh, s.h.i.+t! Oh, s.h.i.+t!" the Commentator cursed in excitement. "Is this real?!"

The displays split once again, showing the sweet Xuefeng who turned domineering once again and his new target, this time his alleged grandfather-in-law. With the current scene, no one would claim this fact as certain.

"Don't worry, she is fine," Nuwa a.s.sured gently as she rubbed Xuefeng on the shoulder. "She is safely waiting for us in the Trade Union Headquarters. President Wu just gave me a lift so I could reunite with you."

Xuefeng didn't seem convinced at all.

"I don't trust him."

"Trust me then, we are fine. What's more, the feud between you two is already resolved. President Wu now understands what's best for his granddaughter's future," Nuwa explained only to gaze at President Wu as if giving him the stage and time to speak.

"I know our past was rough and it's mostly because of me, but I hope we can bury the hatchet," President Wu spoke calmly and suggested, "To prove I'm sincere, I want to offer you a token of apology."

He glanced at Nuwa and asked politely, "Miss Nuwa, would you like to help me? I don't want to provoke him any further."

Xuefeng squinted his eyes but before he could do anything, Nuwa kissed his cheek from the side and walked towards President Wu without Xuefeng's approval.

"Sure."

To everyone's surprise, President Wu reached up to his neck and took out a thin black chain. Hanging from it was a small red stone closed in a round metal cage. Although not everyone knew what it could possibly be, there was someone who had their back.

"Oh, my Heavens! Is that a Fire Stone?!" the Commentator cried out first, causing a big commotion within the crowd. "Is President Wu gifting his grandson-in-law another Elemental Stone? This is huge! Xuefeng will have two Elemental Stones in total! His power will skyrocket even more!"

Bang!

As if that wasn't hard enough to swallow, a sudden explosion resounded from the Private Platform. A huge pressure escaped from within, blasting the windows and barriers covering it.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Hundreds of black-uniform Cultivators surrounded the stands in response, creating a gigantic circle of defense that blocked anyone from entering the battlegrounds.

They looked extremely similar to President Wu's guards but this time the crowd recognized them well. All of them had a familiar crest on their chest, representing the Water Land Capital.

"It's the Water Land Capital Special Forces! They are here to cease any battles! Are the experts from the Private Platform trying to cause trouble?!" the Commentator questioned loudly, adding oil to the fire.

It was easy to deduce as there was a thick wall of Special Forces surrounding the Platform as if they knew something troublesome could happen. Thankfully, after a few additional explosions, the Platform calmed down.

"It seems like nothing can stop Xuefeng from— Huh? What is that?"

The Commentator was about to return to Nuwa and President Wu when a mushroom-like translucent barrier grew from within the Main Stage. It pa.s.sed the Flying s.h.i.+p, swallowing everyone inside of it before expanding past the stands and the Arena itself.

"s.p.a.ce Domain!"

Those with Either Qi inside their bodies immediately felt the restriction with their bodies. The whole s.p.a.ce was locked, preventing any form of teleportation. A harmless but at the same time scary Domain. The only person who could teleport inside this domain was the creator itself.

As if to answer to everyone's confusion, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared above the Arena and called out in a warning.

"I will not let anyone cause trouble inside my City."

Sir Liu! The Main Judge of the Tournament! The man was quickly recognized by everyone.

"Sir Liu is a true Master! With him protecting the Arena, no one will dare to mess around! As expected of the Main Judge!"

———

"Did you hear my uncle?" Liu Xinyu asked with a smile as she stood in front of multiple experts, her sword covered in fresh blood. "Now back off before I hurt you."

Her confidence and smile were enough to intimidate some of the troublemakers but the Dragon Clan member wasn't affected at all.

"Do you think I care? No one is going to stop me from leaving, especially a little girl like you!" Dragon Clan Member snapped angrily and turned to others. "We are sitting here like idiots while he gains new Stones, growing stronger in power. Wake up! We need to stop it! Either now or never!"

He was the one who started the rebellion, his power suddenly exploding outward. He wasn't the only one as others joined him as well, but thankfully, Liu Xinyu acted in time, stopping them before they left the Platform.

No matter how calm she acted, her heart was pounding inside. She already used one of her most powerful Arts, yet when multiple experts combined their power, she could only push them back and at most injure one. If it was just one of them, Liu Xinyu was sure she could take them on easily.

"Don't listen to him. He is going to get you killed. You can't stop them now. Just look at the defense outside," Liu Xinyu advised. "I will forgive you this one offense. Unless you want a fast trip back into your Original Body, I would suggest you sit down and wait for my father to arrive. He will decide what needs to be done."

"And where is he now?" The Elf lady asked. "The situation doesn't look good."

Liu Xinyu only shrugged.

"He will come. Don't worry."
