After Song Fei left in a huff, the Pantheon World quickly went into 'investigation' mode and invited Song Fei to supervise the progress of the investigation to show that they were not hiding anything.
What surprised them was that Song Fei rejected the invitation and asked Zou Jiming to supervise instead.
"Maybe he's too sad and unwilling to face reality?" Zou Jiming found a lousy excuse and brushed off the Pantheon World.
He wanted nothing more than to lead the negotiations. Song Fei was the scapegoat anyway. No matter what they agreed to, they could just say that it was Song Fei who agreed to it.
It was not difficult to investigate the cause of Shi Yeyan's death.
After all, after he came to the Pantheon World, all his actions were clearly visible. The Lords did not have to spend much effort to follow the clues.
They found Sophia, Lv Jialiang was taken away for killing Brook, and disappeared while pursuing Andy and the rest.
The location of Shi Yeyan's death was also found. It was deep in the void, where the Gluttony God Kingdom was …
"Was it Feigman?" Eugene's gaze fell on the void as he said in a low voice. Even though it was a question, there was a certain certainty in his tone.
After all, Shi Yeyan's God's soul was shredded. This was too obvious.
Moreover, Shi Yeyan himself was equivalent to a Level Nine God. Other than Feigman who was nearby, who else could kill him?
"It's possible." The Lord of Nightmares did not hide Zou Jiming's existence and nodded. "But if it wasn't Feigman … this matter is complicated."
Everyone involved was dead. There was not enough information to determine if the truth was as it seemed, or if there was someone else behind the scenes.
If there was someone behind the scenes … it was indeed possible. After all, the whole thing seemed too coincidental, but there was no evidence to prove it.
Without any evidence, could they use a guess as an 'explanation' to Song Fei?
All the evidence pointed to Feigman, but in the end, no one was caught red-handed. Taking down a Level Nine God on their side just like that was also unjustifiable.
Both Eugene and Kotzese felt that this was a tricky situation.
"Let's find Feigman first and see what he has to say." Kotzese rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Eugene agreed.
On the other hand, Zou Jiming crossed his arms confidently and waited for the two Lords to express their stance. Although his final attitude was not to start a war, he still had to use basic negotiation skills.
However, the three of them did not expect that someone had already made the choice for them.
Just as the three of them stepped into the Gluttony Divine Kingdom, the plane they were in suddenly began to collapse without any warning. The originally blue sky was quickly dyed red, the stars began to fall, and the earth began to crack.
"Could this be …" Zou Jiming didn't have a deep understanding of the God Nation, but such an obvious sign made him understand something.
"Fegman is dead!" The Lord of Nightmares said in a deep voice. He stepped into the deepest part of the Gluttony Divine Kingdom and saw Feigman's corpse lying there quietly.
In the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he turned to look at Zou Jiming.
Zou Jiming was a step behind. He was still in a confused state until he saw a ruler stuck in the chest of the corpse on the ground.
It was Song Fei's ruler.
The corners of Zou Jiming's mouth twitched. His body had already moved at the first instant, but his will was slightly distracted. Dreamforce had already descended upon him.
Before he was sucked into the dream, Zou Jiming's last thought was:
"Song Fei, you tricked me!"
…
Three days later, the news spread throughout the two worlds.
Song Fei, who had come to the Pantheon World to negotiate, had personally killed Fegman to vent his anger because his prized disciple, Shi Yeyan, had been killed by the God of Gluttony. He had even left his ruler behind as proof.
This was in line with Song Fei's style. He had always done things openly, and would never hide anything. He would never deny that he had killed someone.
However, it was also from that day onwards that the negotiations between the two sides had officially broken down, and war between the two worlds was imminent.
After hearing the news, Taoist Master Spirit Sun could not help but laugh involuntarily as he said to Gu Nan, "Song Fei is really straightforward. I'm afraid Zou Jiming is going to be screwed over by him."
Taoist Master Spirit Sun had been in charge of the Xuanqing World for many years, and had also been the chief steward of the Empyrean Society for so long. Naturally, he had a good understanding of the Thirteen Skies.
Song Fei had obviously asked Zou Jiming to hold back the opposing Lords, while he chose to start the war himself. This was equivalent to selling Zou Jiming out.
Although the Martial Soldier Star Lord wouldn't immediately perish against the hostile Overgods, the extent of his injuries would depend on how many Overgods he would be injured.
"Zou Jiming will be dissatisfied with this war no matter what. It's better to let him recuperate from his injuries for a few thousand years." Taoist Master Spirit Sun seemed to have a unique understanding of the game between Path Fusing Masters.
Gu Nan was standing beside him, smiling faintly at him. "Let's stop chatting for thirteen days. Tell me, how much longer can you hold on?"
The two of them were now in an unknown small plane. This place was uninhabited, and there was no native civilization. It was a very remote area.
The blue light surrounding Taoist Master Spirit Sun was much dimmer than it had been before, and it seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Ever since Gu Nan had brought him out of the depths of the void, Taoist Master Spirit Sun had not had any opportunity to escape. Gu Nan kept a close eye on him until the power of the dao talisman was about to be exhausted.
If Taoist Master Spirit Sun had enough time to prepare, he could even use this dao talisman to kill a Level Ten expert. Unfortunately, Gu Nan did not give him the time. He had to use all the power of the dao talisman for defense.
"What good will killing me do you?" Taoist Master Spirit Sun looked at Gu Nan calmly, as if he was not talking about killing himself.
Gu Nan did not answer him, and only looked at the dao talisman in his hand.
Taoist Master Spirit Sun seemed to understand something. He smiled faintly and shook his head. Then, he suddenly slapped the top of his head.
With this slap, the blue light suddenly disappeared, and Taoist Master Spirit Sun's body froze at the same time. Then, as a cool breeze blew past, he turned into dust and scattered in the air.
Gu Nan frowned and slowly walked forward, only to find that all of Taoist Master Spirit Sun's clothes, belongings, and even the dao talisman had disappeared without a trace. It seemed that they had also dissipated with the wind.
"A cicada shedding its carapace?" Gu Nan revealed a thoughtful look. Taoist Master Spirit Sun was not simple. He had always known this, but he did not expect that this person had so many tricks up his sleeve.
However, he did not take it to heart.
He wanted to make Taoist Master Spirit Sun stay, but now he just wanted to see the dao talisman. Now that the war between the two worlds was inevitable, whether Taoist Master Spirit Sun escaped or not was no longer important.
He also did not think that Taoist Master Spirit Sun would run to expose him. To put it bluntly, there was no evidence, and it was too late to talk about it now.
"I have to hurry back." Gu Nan muttered to himself.
