The crowd was stunned by Shane’s statement. After a brief moment of shock, murmurs quickly spread across the crowd.
“What? Ashton killed the heir of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion? Has he lost his mind?”
“If that’s true, the Heavenly Medical Pavilion has every right to act.”
“How many factions has he offended? He’s literally going through one crisis after another.”
On the other end, George narrowed his eyes and let out a small sigh. “I guess the truth has finally come to light…”
Back then, he had sensed Ashton’s killing intent outside the Moore residence, as well as the sudden disappearance of Connor’s aura.
Wanda’s face turned pale. She instinctively tried to stand up, but Rose gripped her shoulders and forced
her to stay seated.
“What are you doing, Wanda? Are you trying to save your lover?” Rose asked in a low voice.
Then, she continued, “Let me be honest with you–that’s not going to happen. Ashton is wanted by the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, and he won’t be able to escape from us. Unfortunately, Lawrence isn’t around to protect him this time.”
Wanda bit her lip, feeling incredibly remorseful. She knew Ashton had made an enemy out of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion because of her. If anything bad were to happen to him, she would never be able to forgive herself.
“That’s nonsense!” Neil barked.
Although his heart dropped, his voice remained firm. “You claim that Ashton killed Connor, but what proof do you have?”
“Proof?” Shane scoffed. “Since their arrival in Javonbury, Ashton had been Connor and Francis‘ only enemy. Now, both of them are missing, and their auras are completely gone. There’s only one explanation for this–Ashton has killed them both!”
“I’m asking for proof, not speculation!” Neil spat coldly.
Shane’s eyes hardened, and a cold and contemptuous sneer spread across his face.
“This speculation alone is enough for the Heavenly Medical Pavilion to take him in for questioning!” he barked. “I suggest you stay out of my way, Mr. Bloomberg. You of all people should know the power of the otherworldly realm. Now, stop digging your own grave and hand Ashton over!”
Neil clenched his fists. “If you want to take Ashton with you, you’ll have to do it over my dead body!”
He continued, “By agreement, otherworldly realm experts are not allowed to act against those that are

below their cultivation level. Are you planning to violate that rule, Shane? Aren’t you afraid of being held accountable by the entire martial arts community?”
Shane let out a cold laugh. “I’m not the aggressor here, Mr. Bloomberg. Ashton killed the Heavenly Medical Pavilion’s heir, and I’m merely taking him in for investigation. My actions are perfectly justified- no one can say otherwise.”
He stepped forward. Closing the distance between them, he demanded, “Step aside!”
“Get out of here, Ashton!” Neil growled.
Without hesitation, he unleashed the full force of his cultivation level and charged straight at Shane.
“You overestimate yourself!”
Faced with Neil’s suicidal attack, Shane simply snorted. Raising his arm, he swiftly channeled his powers into his palm before he struck Neil.
Following a muffled thud, Neil’s attack was instantly neutralized by the crushing force of Shane’s otherworldly realm powers.
Neil’s body twisted in midair before his powers collapsed entirely. After crashing onto the ground, blood flowed from his body, and he struggled to get up for a long time.
The scene left everyone shaken to their core.
“Oh no! I didn’t expect Ashton to be a target of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion at all. Is he really going to meet his demise today?”
“Was Lawrence’s sacrifice all for nothing?”
“The Legion has too many enemies. The Heavenly Medical Pavilion has every right to take action. If they take Ashton with them, his reputation would be ruined even if he manages to survive. If that were to happen, the Legion would never be able to make a comeback!”
“Can anyone else stop this from happening?”
