When the High Priest regained his senses, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
At the same time, he had great doubts about Yuwen Ji's identity.
"That bastard kid, is he really Yuwen Ji?
How could an ignorant and incompetent good-for-nothing be so scheming and scheming?
And his strength … he just broke through to the God King Realm, how could he destroy the Creation Altar and break the supreme grade king grade divine array? "
Not to mention that no one would believe the news, even the High Priest himself didn't believe it.
Because of this, he was even more flustered.
He couldn't take the blame for this!
The moment Ji Tianxing left the Creation Divine Palace, the High Priest executed a space technique and chased after him without hesitation.
"Swoosh!"
With a flash of white light, the High Priest appeared in the brightly lit main hall.
This Fortune Divine Palace located in the middle of the Emperor Palace was, in fact, a fake. It was merely a decoy.
The real Creation Divine Palace that he and Ji Tianxing were in was actually tens of thousands of miles underground.
At this time, the baptism ceremony had just ended.
The High Priest could clearly hear the clamor outside the Creation Divine Palace.
He looked around for 'Yuwen Ji', but he couldn't find him.
Just as he was about to step out of the Creation Divine Palace, he saw hundreds of elites and geniuses walking towards him with joy and anticipation.
Cheng Jue, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, and dozens of other Imperial Guards stood majestically at the entrance.
Everyone's faces were brimming with joy and anticipation. The air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
But when the High Priest saw this scene, his vision turned black, and he almost fainted.
"It's over! This matter can't be hidden anymore! "
The High Priest knew that no matter what the reason was, he would be severely punished by the God Emperor for leaving his post without permission and causing the supreme divine bead to be stolen.
Moreover, if he didn't take the appropriate measures in time, the crime of stealing the supreme divine bead would fall on him.
"Eh, High Priest, the Creation Altar is about to open, why did you come out?"
Just as the High Priest's heart was in a mess, Cheng Jue's voice sounded in his ears.
He raised his head and saw Cheng Jue looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"This old man …" The High Priest's face turned ugly. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Cheng Jue instantly frowned when he saw his reaction, and he asked via voice transmission, "High Priest, don't tell me that there's a problem with the Creation Altar?
You have never left your post before, but you were absent for eight hours last night.
We're all colleagues, so I can pretend that I don't know.
However, once something happens to the Creation Altar, no one will be able to hide it! "
Hearing Cheng Jue's words, the High Priest immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He looked at Cheng Jue with a solemn expression and transmitted his voice in a grave tone, "Commander Cheng, something big has happened!
The Fortune Altar was destroyed, and the Fortune Divine Pearl was stolen! "
"Ah?" Cheng Jue was stunned on the spot. After a while, she recovered and said with a chuckle, "High Priest, this joke is not funny at all."
"…" The High Priest's expression was very dark. His tone was even more solemn as he said, "Commander Cheng, this old man is not joking! It was absolutely true!
It was that bastard Yuwen Ji. Last night, he entered the Fortune Divine Palace early and made up a series of lies, tricking this old man into leaving for a few hours.
When this old man rushed back, he had already destroyed the altar and stolen the Fortune Divine Pearl! "
Seeing how serious the High Priest was, Cheng Jue realized that something big had happened.
His expression turned ugly as he asked in a low voice, "Yuwen Ji? No wonder he tried so hard to enter the Fortune Divine Pearl several hours in advance. It turns out that he had the intention to steal the Fortune Divine Pearl!
This treacherous bastard is really audacious! "
After a pause, Cheng Jue frowned and asked again, "But High Priest, this is completely illogical!
Yuwen Ji has just broken through to the God King Realm, and he is a well-known hedonistic young master.
The Creation Altar is a supreme king-grade divine array laid down by the God Emperor. How could Yuwen Ji break it with his strength?
Moreover, to break five supreme grade divine arrays in eight hours?
This is ridiculous! "
Cheng Jue believed that the Fortune Divine Pearl was stolen, but she didn't believe that it was Yuwen Ji's doing.
The High Priest's expression turned ugly as he asked angrily, "Cheng Jue, what do you mean? Are you suspecting this old man? "
"Haha …" Cheng Jue sneered and said in a low voice, "Before this matter is investigated clearly, everyone is a suspect. We can't get away with it.
The most important thing now is to stop these elites and geniuses from entering. Send people to capture Yuwen Ji immediately! "
"Yes! As long as we capture him, the truth will be revealed! " The High Priest nodded quickly and said through gritted teeth, "This old man will make sure that little bastard dies without a burial place!"
Cheng Jue ignored him and quickly opened her arms to block the entrance of the Divine Palace. She said to the hundreds of elites and geniuses, "Everyone, please wait! There is a small problem inside the Divine Palace, and it will take a moment to deal with it. Please wait outside and don't enter the Divine Palace! "
Her deep and majestic voice spread across the square in front of the palace.
Following her words, more than twenty Imperial Guards immediately blocked the entrance of the Divine Palace with swords and sabers.
The elites and geniuses on the steps and in the square in front of the palace were all stunned.
The smiles and joy on everyone's faces froze. They all frowned and showed a puzzled and dissatisfied expression.
Many of the bolder and more powerful nobles even loudly questioned the reason behind it.
"Commander Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
"In the past, every baptism ceremony was safe and sound. Why did something happen when it's our turn?"
"How long will it take you to deal with it? How will you compensate for delaying our baptism? "
"What exactly happened? Please explain, Commander Cheng. Otherwise, we won't believe it! "
Someone took the lead and shouted, and many people echoed.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, everyone became agitated. Cheng Jue looked dignified and shouted coldly, "This is an order! Do I need to explain to you what I do?
Whoever dares to take one step into the Divine Palace will be killed without mercy! "
Cheng Jue was really angry, and her tone was full of murderous intent.
The young elites and geniuses were shocked.
They realized the seriousness of the matter and didn't dare to be noisy. They all whispered to each other.
Cheng Jue ignored them and quickly discussed countermeasures with the High Priest.
"High Priest, the theft of the divine bead is too serious. It's not something you and I can solve.
Immediately send a message to Commander Minghe and report the cause of the matter to him.
I will now send all the Imperial Guards to search for Yuwen Ji in the Divine Palace and Youdu! "
The High Priest was stunned, and his expression was hesitant. He smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Cheng, is there a need to alarm Commander Minghe?"
Even now, he was still hoping that Cheng Jue could bring people to capture Yuwen Ji.
It was best not to alert Commander Styx or the Blood Hell Marshal.
Otherwise, this matter would be difficult to resolve, and he would be severely punished.
