Time was one of the most mysterious and difficult to control forces in the world.
Only a peak Divine King could control time.
For example, time could be stopped, accelerated, or reversed.
But it was only for a short period of time.
Previously, Lu Ming had thought that Ji Tianxing was still a middle-level Divine King and had not improved much compared to a thousand years ago.
In other words, this was a fallen genius who had faded into the crowd.
But at this moment, Lu Ming suddenly realized that things were different from what he had imagined.
…
Not long after, the State Preceptor was brought in by two imperial guard commanders.
This was a ninth-degree realm high-level Divine Lord. From his appearance, one could tell that he was an honest and benevolent elder from the Tianxiang clan.
Just like what the Tianxiang Emperor had said, such a sanctimonious elder was definitely of noble character and dignified behavior.
In addition, he was Xiang Yu's master. No one would believe that he would kill Xiang Yu with his own hands.
"Greetings to the Lord and His Majesty!"
The State Preceptor came to the courtyard and stood still, bowing to Lu Ming and the Tianxiang Emperor.
Lu Ming's expression was stern as he looked at him coldly. He secretly exerted Soul Suppression and asked, "State Preceptor, you came here after Long Tianxing left the Cloud Palace.
Let me ask you, why did you come to the Cloud Palace? "
The State Preceptor bowed and replied calmly, "As usual, once every ten days to teach the little princess cultivation."
Lu Ming asked again, "When you entered the living room, what was Xiang Yu doing? Have you seen a king-level battle axe? "
"This …" The State Preceptor hesitated for a moment, his eyes a little blank.
But it was only for a moment before he replied calmly, "At that time, the little princess had already been killed and was lying in a pool of blood.
As for the king-level battle axe, I have not seen it. "
The Tianxiang Emperor heaved a sigh of relief while Lu Ming frowned.
On the other hand, Ji Tianxing's expression did not change, but a cold smile flashed across his eyes.
Lu Ming asked again, "Since you saw the little princess being killed, why didn't you report it to the Emperor?
Also, when did you leave?
Why did the guards and maids of the Cloud Palace only see you come in, but no one saw you leave? "
"This old official …" The Imperial Tutor hesitated for a moment before answering, "This old official's mind was in a mess at that time. I didn't know what to do, but I didn't dare to say anything and could only leave quietly.
After all, I would never have thought that the little princess would be killed in the palace.
This matter is of great importance, so I don't dare to make it public to avoid causing panic.
But who would have thought that not long after I left, before I could report to His Majesty, the maids of Cloud Palace would find out … "
Although this reason was a little far-fetched, it was not unreasonable.
For a moment, Lu Ming was at a loss for words. He did not know how to continue the interrogation.
The scene was silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat stiff.
Ji Tianxing, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
He stared at the Imperial Preceptor and secretly cast a Soul Secret Technique. He asked in a low voice, "Imperial Preceptor, you're lying!
When you entered the living room, Xiangyu was completely unharmed. She had only fainted and collapsed on the ground.
In order to get rid of her entanglement, I used the power of my divine sense to knock her unconscious.
And that crimson battle-ax was placed on the jade table in the living room at that time! "
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Preceptor suddenly raised his head and glared at Ji Tianxing with hatred. He sneered and said, "Nonsense! You're the one who fabricated all these! "
Although he appeared to be very angry.
But Ji Tianxing discovered that there was a hint of confusion and uneasiness in the depths of his eyes.
Without a doubt, the Imperial Preceptor was guilty and confused.
Such a complicated and subtle change in his gaze was naturally not noticed by the Emperor of Tian Dao, the imperial guard commander, Peng Fei, and the rest.
But Ji Tianxing saw it clearly, and Lu Ming noticed it as well.
Ji Tianxing continued, "Originally, you came to teach Xiangyu cultivation as usual.
You didn't have any ill intentions, so you came openly and were seen by the two bear guards.
But when you entered the living room, you discovered that Xiangyu had fainted and there was a king-level divine weapon on the table!
It was that king-level divine weapon that aroused your greed and made you want to kill her.
You coveted that battle-ax and were afraid that Xiangyu would be exposed when she woke up, so you killed her!
Then, you took the battle-ax and quietly escaped from the Cloud Palace.
This is the truth! "
The Imperial Preceptor was stunned on the spot. On the surface, he looked angry and disdainful.
But in the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of realization and uneasiness.
"Bullsh * t! You're slandering me, you're slandering me! "
The Imperial Preceptor came back to his senses and blamed Ji Tianxing angrily.
Emperor of Tian Dao was also filled with indignation. He said to Lu Ming, "Lord, you saw it with your own eyes. Long Tian is spouting nonsense, fabricating and slandering the Imperial Preceptor.
He did this to clear his name and shift the blame to the Imperial Preceptor! "
Lu Ming did not express his opinion. He took a deep look at Ji Tianxing before saying, "Search the Imperial Preceptor, check his interspatial ring and his residence!
As long as we find that king-level battle-ax, the truth will be revealed! "
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly in agreement.
Emperor of Tian Dao was a little hesitant, but the Imperial Preceptor straightened his neck and said, "Search, go ahead and search!
I have a clear conscience, I'm not afraid of you searching! "
Next, Lu Ming personally searched the Imperial Preceptor's body and checked his interspatial ring.
Emperor of Tian Dao led a large group of imperial guards. Under the supervision of Lu Ming and Ji Tianxing, they searched the palace where the Imperial Preceptor lived.
Under the divine senses of the two God Kings, everything in the Imperial Preceptor's residence was investigated clearly. Not even a speck of dust was left behind.
However, after busying themselves for an hour, they still ended up empty-handed.
That king-level battle-ax was nowhere to be seen!
Ji Tianxing fell silent instantly, frowning as he pondered.
Emperor of Tian Dao was relieved. The Imperial Preceptor was smug as he sneered. "Long Tian, what else do you have to say now?
You're the real culprit, but you want to shift the blame to me?
No way! "
Lu Ming did not express his opinion. He looked at Ji Tianxing and asked secretly through voice transmission, "Brother Long, do you have any other ideas?"
Ji Tianxing replied through voice transmission, "At present, it seems that the Imperial Preceptor has been cleared of suspicion, but I'm still certain that he's the culprit!"
After pausing for a moment, he said in a serious tone, "However, I have a bold idea. He's actually just an accomplice. The real culprit is someone else!"
"Oh?" Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and said in a strange tone, "Brother Long, why am I confused by you?"
Ji Tianxing continued to explain, "Then let's put it in simpler terms. The Imperial Preceptor had no intention of killing Xiang Yu, but he was possessed by a God King powerhouse!"
"This …" Lu Ming hesitated. He pondered in his heart, unable to make a judgment.
Ji Tianxing added, "I believe you saw it just now. The Imperial Preceptor's gaze is problematic. He's obviously guilty.
However, while he's guilty and fearful, he's also at a loss.
This means that he knows that he killed Xiang Yu, but he doesn't remember what happened.
I'm guessing that the person who possessed him made use of his identity to kill Xiang Yu and snatch the king-level battle-ax.
