After Xue Changyi finished speaking, he lowered his head even more.
Under the dim divine light, one could vaguely see that his face was dark red and full of shame. His eyes were full of self-mockery and helplessness.
It was clear that he didn't want to betray Prince Lian.
But he had no choice but to reveal Prince Lian's whereabouts. This made him feel extremely guilty and condemned.
To him, this was equivalent to a stain in his life that would be difficult to wash away in his lifetime.
The three thousand plus royal family members didn't care about this. Everyone stared at Ji Tianxing, waiting for his verdict.
Xue Changyi had already answered. Whether or not everyone could live depended on whether Ji Tianxing was satisfied.
Clearly, Ji Tianxing wasn't satisfied. He frowned and asked, "That's it? I'm not surprised that Prince Lian escaped in time.
But you're one of Prince Lian's most trusted aides. How could you not know where he went?
Xue Changyi, I think you're honest and straightforward. But you hid something and wanted to get away with it? "
Seeing that Ji Tianxing was very dissatisfied and angry, the three thousand plus royal family members' expressions changed. They were so anxious that their foreheads were covered in sweat.
Many people started to persuade Xue Changyi again. There were even some royal family members with higher status and seniority who started to reprimand and complain about Xue Changyi.
Xue Changyi was under great pressure. His face became more and more unsightly.
Seeing that everyone was agitated, he could only explain to Ji Tianxing, "Gongzi Tianxing, I really didn't know about Prince Lian's plan!
You also know that Prince Lian is very suspicious and scheming. He's very shrewd.
After knowing that the army was defeated, he didn't even wait for the scouts to investigate the situation and left with his trusted aides.
Moreover, he didn't even say goodbye to me when he left.
I only found out about this after hearing the reports from my subordinates. "
Seeing that Xue Changyi didn't seem to be lying, and Ji Tianxing analyzed that Prince Lian would have done so given his nature.
Thus, he stopped questioning Xue Changyi. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time.
In the future, if this Sovereign finds out that you lied to this Sovereign, don't blame this Sovereign for making another trip to the capital and personally taking your dog life! "
Xue Changyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "I dare not deceive Young Master Tianxing. If this Lord's words are false, I'm at your disposal."
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything more. He frowned and thought about where Prince Lian might be hiding.
He had refined the memories of Lian Er's soul, so he knew many of Prince Lian's secrets.
At this moment, Xue Changyi hesitated for a moment and spoke to interrupt his thoughts.
"Gongzi Tianxing, I've already followed your request and revealed Prince Lian's whereabouts. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise …"
Ji Tianxing collected his thoughts, glanced at him, and said indifferently, "This Monarch is a man of his word. I will naturally fulfill my promise."
With that, he waved his arm and removed the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.
The twenty thousand swords that had been hovering in the night sky and covering Royal City immediately disappeared without a trace.
Instantly, Royal City, which had been illuminated by the sword light until it was as bright as day, also became dim.
The three thousand royal family members looked as if they had been pardoned. They revealed expressions of joy as if they had just survived a disaster.
The tens of thousands of people in Royal City had been trembling with fear and despair.
Now that the sword formation had disappeared, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Countless people cried out in surprise and whispered in each other's ears.
Many people saw that the once dazzling palace had been reduced to ruins.
Everyone was discussing and guessing what had happened in the Royal Palace.
Who was so powerful that they could destroy the Royal Palace?
Could it be that Tianxing, who had been rumored to be the God of Slaughter?
At the same time.
Xue Changyi saw that Ji Tianxing was a man of his word and also breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Tianxing, for your mercy!"
Ji Tianxing looked at him expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "Xue Changyi, I'll give you a word of advice.
Grand Prince Lian opposed this Monarch, and he won't live long. You don't have to be blindly loyal to him.
You must always remember that you are the monarch of the Raging Flame Divine Country. You don't have the right to be willful.
You must put the overall situation and the Divine Country and its hundreds of millions of people before you make any decision.
Otherwise, you will destroy the Raging Flame Divine Country sooner or later. "
Xue Changyi was startled. He didn't expect that Ji Tianxing, who was his enemy, would give him pointers.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he remembered Ji Tianxing's words in his heart and sincerely thanked him.
"Thank you, Young Master Tianxing, for your pointers. This Monarch will definitely remember it."
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything else and expressionlessly asked, "Where is the teleportation array leading to the border of Raging Flame County?"
Xue Changyi knew that he was leaving Royal City and was secretly relieved. He hurriedly replied, "It's in the Huayang Divine Palace. That's Grand Prince Lian's residence in Royal City.
Many years ago, he had this Monarch build that divine array in the Huayang Divine Palace. "
Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Damn it! With Grand Prince Lian's way of doing things, he will definitely have that divine array destroyed after he leaves.
Quickly take this Monarch there! "
Xue Changyi also understood his meaning and didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly took him to the Huayang Divine Palace.
In just two short breaths, the two of them teleported a hundred miles away and landed in front of a magnificent palace.
The guards and servants around the palace had already fled in all directions, their whereabouts unknown.
The two of them directly used an escape technique and entered the underground hall of the Divine Palace.
They saw that in the middle of the hall, there was a huge teleportation array that was shining with a dim white light.
Dozens of elite Heavenly Gods were around the teleportation array, working together to destroy it.
Seeing Xue Changyi and Ji Tianxing arrive, those people were stunned and stopped what they were doing.
After coming back to their senses, they turned around and fled without hesitation.
Ji Tianxing didn't pay attention to those escaping Heavenly Gods. He didn't even have the interest to chase after them.
He used the Divine Eye Mystic Art to observe the array and quickly saw the situation.
"Fortunately, we came in time. These people are weak and only destroyed some insignificant things."
While talking, Ji Tianxing started to cast spells to repair the teleportation array.
After 15 minutes, the teleportation array was fully repaired.
Ji Tianxing stepped into the teleportation array and walked toward the blazing white teleportation door.
Before leaving, he threw down a final sentence.
"Xue Changyi, you better pray that we don't meet again. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for you."
After saying that, he stepped into the teleportation door and disappeared.
Xue Changyi stood on the spot and stared at the light door in a daze. He pondered for a long time before turning around and leaving.
When he returned to the palace, more than three thousand royal family members and ministers were looking at him with burning eyes.
Seeing him return alone and not seeing Ji Tianxing's trace, everyone opened their mouths to ask.
After knowing that Ji Tianxing had left the Royal City through the teleportation array, everyone finally relaxed and erupted into cheers and discussions.
Xue Changyi, however, couldn't feel happy. He looked at the ruined palace with a blank expression and his eyes dimmed.
