"Hmph, Elder Xuan Xiang, an outsider dared to attack the acting city lord of our Dusty Monarch City and destroy the future of our city. What's wrong with me capturing him?"
"You, on the other hand, actually protected an outsider. Did you order him to do so?"
The old man with white hair and a face as pale as a corpse spoke. His eyes were deathly white, like a blind man's, but he exuded an oppressive aura. He was Elder Tian Xiang, the one who had attacked Xing Jue earlier.
"I recruited Xuan Xiang into the Black Camp half a year ago. He's already a disciple of our Dusty Monarch City, so how is he an outsider?"
"Half a year ago? Our Dusty Monarch City reappeared in the world half a year ago. How do you know he's not a spy from Mount Wuzhi? "
"Tian Xiang, don't try to twist logic. Although our Dusty Monarch City reappeared half a year ago, only a few elders from the four camps left the city."
"Furthermore, special seals were placed on them. We'll know if they leave the eastern region. They won't be able to spread the news of our return."
"As for Mount Wuzhi? In the past half a year, not a single expert has appeared within the Dusty Monarch City's sphere of influence. They don't even know that the Dusty Monarch City has returned, so how could they have sent a spy? "
Elder Xuan Xiang retorted loudly. He was a little angry when he saw that Elder Tian Xiang was deliberately making things difficult for Xing Jue. Xing Jue had indeed helped the Black Camp gain face in this battle.
"Hmph, Mount Wuzhi is so cunning. How could they let a true expert appear in front of you? If they want to send a spy, they'll naturally send someone you can't detect."
"Otherwise, how could such a disciple have appeared in the current Eastern Region when it is already so desolate?" Elder Tian Xiang snorted coldly. He was certain that Xing Jue was a spy.
"Hey, Elders, please don't quarrel. We're all from the same family. It's just two kids playing around. It's not good to ruin the harmony because of something like this." At that moment, the black-haired elder spoke. He was an elder of the Xuan Di Sect.
"That's right, Elder Tianxiang, your words are a bit too excessive. The recruitment of disciples in the eastern region was decided unanimously by the four of us. You cannot say that Elder Xuanxiang is a spy sent by Mount Wuzhi just because he managed to recruit an outstanding disciple."
"Would the spies from Mount Wuzhi send out such an outstanding disciple? Aren't you afraid of being exposed and silenced? "
"Even Mount Wuzhi wouldn't allow a disciple like Xuan Huan to leave their control so easily. How could they allow him to do something so dangerous?" At the same time, the skinny Profound Yellow Elder with a pair of yellow eyes said with a smile.
"What is the meaning of this? Xuan Huan wanted to kill the acting city lord of our Dusty Royal City. Isn't that enough to prove his motive? "Elder Tianxiang snorted.
"Tianxiang, don't slander us. Xing Jue could have killed Tian Zhong earlier, but he only struck his abdomen. He didn't intend to kill him. How can you say that he wanted to kill the acting city lord?"
"Besides, Tian Zhong is only the acting city lord, not the city lord. He only became the acting city lord because he's stronger than the other disciples."
"Now that Xuan Huan's strength is above him and his potential is much greater, Xuan Huan is the one who is truly qualified to become the acting city lord!" Elder Xuanxiang had already made up his mind to ensure that Xing Jue became the city lord.
"Hmph, letting an outsider become the city lord of our Dusty Royal City? Are you kidding me? " Elder Tianxiang would never allow Xing Jue to become the acting city lord and allow the power that he was about to obtain to fall into someone else's hands.
"Eh …"
In fact, it wasn't just Elder Tianxiang. After hearing Elder Xuanxiang's words, the other two elders also had complicated expressions.
As they were from different camps, although they didn't want the Sky Camp to have a modern city lord, they also didn't want the Black Camp to have a acting city lord.
Especially after witnessing the battle earlier, they realized that Xing Jue had more potential than Tian Zhong, so they didn't want Xing Jue to become the acting city lord.
If Xing Jue became the acting city lord, it would be difficult for the two camps to have someone who could surpass Xing Jue. It would be equivalent to losing their last chance.
"Elders, there's no need to argue. Tian Zhong is the acting city lord, and the four of us agreed on it."
"As for Xuan Huan, although his aptitude is not bad, it's just as Elder Tianxiang said. We can't let an outsider become the acting city lord of our Dusty Royal City, "Elder Xuanhuang said with a smile.
"That's right. Xuan Huan attacked the acting city lord for no reason. Regardless of whether he killed him or not, he should be punished," Elder Xuandi said.
"You … You …" Elder Xuanxiang became a little emotional when he saw the three of them pointing their spearheads at Xing Jue.
"Sirs, why would I, Xing Jue, attack the acting city lord for no reason? There is a reason for all of this. "At this moment, Xing Jue spoke.
"How dare you! Do you think a junior has the right to speak here?" Elder Tianxiang reprimanded Xing Jue as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Lord Tianxiang, my friend was captured by the acting city lord. I only wanted to ask the acting city lord to let him go, but he refused."
"Tian Zhong is the acting city lord, so I should respect him. However, as the acting city lord, I should set an example."
"He wants to use his status to oppress others and do bad things. Do I not even have the right to resist?"
Xing Jue wasn't afraid of Tianxiang. He continued to speak loudly, as if he wanted everyone in the Dusty Royal City to hear him and know what Tian Zhong had done.
Elder Tian Xiang's expression became increasingly ugly after hearing Xing Jue's words. He ruthlessly glared at the pale-faced Tian Zhong in the distance. Tian Zhong was so frightened by his gaze that his body trembled.
"What a lawless person. You don't know the rules at all. As a citizen of the Dusty Royal City, I can only listen to the city lord. How can I refute him?"
"You're simply trying to rebel! You should be executed!"
Even though he knew that he was in the wrong, Elder Tianxiang naturally wouldn't admit his mistake. His white eyes were extremely sharp and exuded intense anger as he constantly pressured Xing Jue.
Although Elder Tianxiang's pressure was powerful, he couldn't do anything to Xing Jue with Elder Xuanxiang's defense. At this moment, Xing Jue sneered and questioned loudly, "Only listen to the city lord's orders?
Are you saying that if Tian Zhong wants you to self-destruct your soul for no reason, you'll do it without hesitation? Will you? "
"You …" Lord Tianxiang was a little speechless from Xing Jue's questions. Tian Zhong was only a chess piece. How could he self-destruct because of his words?
"Haha, this Xuan Xuan is quite courageous to speak to Elder Tianxiang in such a manner. However, what he said does make sense."
"Even the city lord has to handle matters in a proper manner, especially the acting city lord. Xuan Xuan, did the acting city lord capture your friend? Where is he? "Elder Xuan Di asked with a smile.
"Lords, please wait for a moment. Xing Jue will be back soon."
Xing Jue respectfully asked for instructions before turning into a ray of light and shooting into the palace. At such a distance, Xing Jue could accurately lock onto Lin Shishi.
After entering the palace, Xing Jue saw that Lin Shishi's white dress was intact. He was relieved and with a thought, he released the power that was restraining Lin Shishi.
"Xing Jue!!!" After seeing Xing Jue, Lin Shishi's delicate body fell into Xing Jue's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Don't be afraid, no one dares to do anything to you." Xing Jue patted Lin Shishi's shoulder to comfort her. He could feel her violently trembling body.
But at this moment, Xing Jue's eyes turned and began to secretly transmit a message to Lin Shishi, telling her what to say later. The clever Lin Shishi also nodded silently.
After that, Xing Jue brought Lin Shishi out. Lin Shishi even told the Elders what happened. After knowing the truth, the Elders made a decision. Xing Jue could be exempted from punishment, but he would be confined for a month.
As for Tian Zhong, he was reprimanded by a few elders, but did not receive any punishment.
Facing the decision of the three Elders, although Elder Xuan Xiang was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. However, he refused to lock up Xing Jue in the Heavenly Camp, and Elder Xuan Xiang refused to let Xing Jue return to the Black Camp.
Therefore, they finally made the decision to lock up Xing Jue in the dungeon of Monarch City, which was not under the management of the four camps. Moreover, the Four Elders worked together to set up a prison barrier. Unless the four of them broke it together, it would be impossible to break it.
The dungeon of Monarch City was very dark. Because it had been banned for a long time, there was not a trace of vitality. However, Jiang Yi could still feel the chilly air that constantly attacked his body. It could be seen that this dungeon had imprisoned many people in the past, and many of them had died.
"Did Shishi leave safely? Would Tian Zhong send someone to cause trouble for Shishi? "
At this moment, Punishment Execution was lying in an iron prison. The iron prison was not large, only a few square meters in size. However, every iron railing was strengthened by a powerful enchantment, which was set up by the combined efforts of the four great elders. Although Punishment Execution could break the enchantment, it would require some complicated methods.
Moreover, with the protection of Elder Xuan Xiang, there was no need for him to escape. If he escaped, it would be used by Elder Xuan Xiang and the others. Therefore, Xing Jue decided to stay here for a month. Anyway, it would not affect Xing Jue's cultivation.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, a strange light shone from the center of the iron cell. A moment later, a feast appeared. Because the iron cell was sealed, food could only be sent in through a Teleportation Formation.
Moreover, in order to prevent people from harming Xing Jue, the Teleportation Formation could only send dead things. Anything with vitality could not be sent in through the Teleportation Formation. Similarly, Xing Jue could not escape through the Teleportation Formation.
"Huh? Elder Xuan Xiang left it? It seems that Shishi has safely returned to the Everlasting Courtyard. "
Just as Xing Jue was about to eat, he saw a letter on the table. It was sent by Elder Xuan Xiang.
After opening it, Xing Jue's heart was finally at ease. This time, it was Lord Xuan Xiang who had personally sent Lin Shishi back to the Everlasting Courtyard.
Moreover, a powerful Spirit Formation had been set up in the Everlasting Mountain Range. As long as the Spirit Formation was activated, apart from experts like him, no one would be able to enter the Everlasting Courtyard. If the Spirit Formation was broken, he would be able to sense it.
"Lord Xuan Xiang and Elder Xuan Xiang have been very kind to me, Xing Jue. I must repay them in the future." Xing Jue continued to read the letter as he made up his mind. However, after reading the contents of the letter, his joyful expression turned ugly.
