The Jialan Emperor City was as flourishing as ever. One of Qin Wentian's astral souls, the Eyes of Truth, had an extremely powerful illusory ability that could change one's appearance and aura.
Right now, he had already arrived at the center of this flourishing emperor city.
As expected, the Barbarian Emperor didn't lie to him. Qin Wentian tried to contact Princess Kitamura again but it was useless. He didn't know how many times he tried to contact the Barbarian Emperor through his messaging crystal. All of this proved that something had really happened to Princess Kitamura. The Barbarian Emperor had betrayed him.
Qin Wentian wasn't clear about the situation at the Lifire Palace and also didn't know what Princess Kitamura's current status was in the Lifire Palace. But he knew that everything he saw led him to a certain direction. That was, tomorrow afternoon, the Jialan Monarch would execute Princess Kitamura on the execution platform in the Jialan Emperor City. As for why was it so troublesome, it was naturally to lure him out. If not, he could just kill her directly.
But even though he knew the Jialan Monarch's plot, he had no choice but to come. The matter of him becoming a bandit had nothing to do with Princess Kitamura.
On the second day, the surroundings of the execution platform in the Jialan Emperor City were extremely lively. Many experts gathered here and the scorching sun rays cascaded down, causing everyone to feel uncomfortable.
The execution platform was located in the south of the Jialan Emperor City and had a mountain ridge behind it. It was an incomparably gigantic blood-colored execution platform. In history, many bandit characters had been killed on this execution platform, and there were also some who had violated the laws of the Jialan Emperor City.
At this moment, on the execution platform, there was a gigantic black cage made from blackstone and was incomparably sturdy. Immortal senses had no way to permeate it. Within it, the person who was about to be executed was imprisoned.
Below the execution platform, many people had gathered. They heard that the person imprisoned was a great beauty and was a spy for the bandit ten years ago. She was extremely powerful and was highly regarded by the Jialan Monarch.
Many people were discussing, thinking that this beauty was unlucky and that it would be difficult for her to escape death.
Qin Wentian was among the crowd as well. His immortal sense gushed out and he naturally discovered that there were as many experts as the clouds in this space. Just on the execution platform, there were already two immortal emperors guarding it. In the shadows, there were even more immortal emperors. With such a lineup, how could they allow others to destroy it?
The sunlight became brighter and brighter, stinging people's eyes. Gradually, the sun rose into the sky and hung above the heads of the crowd.
A few figures soared through the air and among them, the Jialan Monarch was among them. He personally came here to carry out the punishment.
Beside the Jialan Monarch, there was another empyrean character with an extremely powerful cultivation base. He was actually a peak-stage immortal emperor and his name was the Crow Emperor. He was someone sent by the Lifire Palace to coordinate with the Jialan Monarch in this operation.
"Jialan, are you sure he will come this time around?" Crow transmitted his voice to the Jialan Monarch.
"That fellow's relationship with Princess Kitamura isn't ordinary. Even if he doesn't come here to capture Princess Kitamura, he would at least come to take a look. He should have already arrived. Even if he made a mistake, it would only waste some of Mister Crow's time. I will naturally compensate Mister Crow properly." The Jialan Monarch replied.
"Since this is the case, I'll wait and see." Crow didn't say anything more. The Jialan Monarch waved his hand and a moment later, the area around the execution platform was directly locked down. An incomparably powerful army from the Jialan Monarch City appeared, locking down the entire area. The area was so vast that even a peak-stage immortal emperor's immortal sense could sense it. Immortal emperors appeared in every direction.
In the air, the immortal emperors guarding the various locations directly took out their emperor-ranked weapons. Resplendent light cascaded downwards and in an instant, a supreme emperor might descended from the sky, enveloping the entire area. Everyone in this space was dumbfounded as they stared in shock at this scene. What was going on?
"Everyone." At this moment, the Jialan Monarch spoke. His voice thundered through the entire space.
"Today, I, Jialan, am here to capture bandits. If I offend all of you in any way, I hope that everyone won't blame me. The bandits are simply too arrogant and I have no choice but to do this. From now onwards, everyone is to remain at your original location and not move. If not, you will be treated as bandits and killed on the spot. If you are killed by mistake, don't blame me." The Jialan Monarch's voice suddenly turned cold and imposing. "Naturally, if we verify that you guys aren't bandits, we will naturally allow you to leave. As long as everyone cooperates, there's no need to worry about being killed by mistake. This point, this monarch can guarantee."
The hearts of everyone trembled. This Jialan Monarch arranged such a formation, it was actually to force the bandits to show themselves. After that, he would lock down the entire space and investigate them one by one. In that case, this execution was all for the sake of waiting for the bandits to show themselves?
In the crowd, Qin Wentian's heart also trembled. His expression changed, becoming extremely unsightly to behold.
This Jialan Monarch was truly ruthless. He arranged such a huge formation just to gamble that Qin Wentian would show himself?
If he didn't show himself, the Jialan Monarch would have wasted all his efforts.
However, Qin Wentian came. Although he clearly knew that there might be a conspiracy waiting for him, this matter concerned the life and death of Princess Kitamura. Maybe the Jialan Monarch would feel that he was a fool but this was him, Qin Wentian. He had always been like this.
"Let's start the investigation." The Jialan Monarch spoke. After that, the guards in the various locations started to call out names, allowing the immortal emperors to come before the immortal emperor. After that, the immortal emperor would personally inspect them. The method of inspection was very simple. The fluctuations of astral energy in their bodies, their law attributes, their astral souls. Even if someone changed their appearance, they wouldn't be able to hide from such a detailed inspection.
Qin Wentian stared at the prison. Although he knew that this was a conspiracy, he still couldn't help but wonder if Princess Kitamura was inside the prison or not. He was still concerned about everything. However, the Jialan Monarch didn't seem to have any intentions of opening the prison.
The speed of the inspection was extremely fast. More and more experts were released. Sooner or later, it would be Qin Wentian's turn.
At this moment, a figure flashed by, actually rushing into the sealed space. When the guards saw who it was, they were all stunned. They didn't stop him and allowed him to continue on his way.
"What are you doing here?" The Jialan Monarch frowned when he saw the figure who appeared before him. It was actually his daughter, Jialan Mingyue.
"Father." Jialan Mingyue walked to the side of the Jialan Monarch. After that, she took out a divine weapon and suddenly stabbed it towards the Jialan Monarch's eyes. This scene caused everyone to be stunned. The Jialan Monarch was stunned as well. A violent burst of emperor might erupted forth as his eyes gleamed with a demonic light, directly shooting into Jialan Mingyue's mind.
"Scram!" The Jialan Monarch roared. However, Jialan Mingyue spoke, "Jialan, you are too naive."
As she spoke, the divine weapon in Jialan Mingyue's hand actually stabbed towards her own neck. The Jialan Monarch's expression abruptly changed. He stretched out his palm and directly slapped Jialan Mingyue's hand. At the same time, the demonic light in his eyes grew even more intense. In Jialan Mingyue's mind, there seemed to be a lion guarding there. A gigantic beast that resembled a dragon yet was not a dragon yet was fighting against the lion.
"Jialan, the emperor palace is under attack." A voice rang out in the mind of the Jialan Monarch. In his mind, the gigantic silhouette of a lion king appeared. His expression instantly turned ashen. This was a piece of news sent to him by one of his wives through a messaging crystal, directly transmitted into his mind through his immortal sense.
His silhouette flashed as he grabbed Jialan Mingyue and soared into the air. He waved his hand, "Let's return to the emperor palace."
The black eyes of Crow flashed. After that, a deep smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Things are going to be interesting this time around. What an unexpected surprise. Jialan, I want to leave a group of people behind."
The eyes of the Jialan Monarch flashed, he instantly understood Crow's meaning. Crow wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain. They were playing a scheme here and the other party was doing the same as well. In addition, this time around, the Evil Emperor was actually lured out. This indicated that not only did they lure out Qin Wentian, they also lured out a big fish, the core leader of the bandit group.
But even so, since the emperor palace was under attack, he had no choice but to hurry back. After giving the order to leave a group of experts behind, he brought some people with him and sped towards the direction of the emperor palace.
The eyes of the Crow Emperor flashed as he coldly stared at the surroundings. The emperor palace of the Jialan Monarch was under attack and his mind was in a mess. He almost fell for the trap but the emperor palace of the Jialan Monarch had nothing to do with him. Hence, he was very clear-headed. Even if the Jialan Monarch wanted to attack the emperor palace, why did they send Jialan Mingyue here instead of killing her directly?
Everything was done to disturb the heart of the Jialan Monarch, causing him to make a mistake. The other party only had a single purpose, and that was to cover the escape of the Jialan Monarch. In that case, among the people trapped here, there would definitely be someone they wanted to capture.
In addition, this person seemed to be very important. Who would have thought that the Jialan Monarch's random actions would actually achieve an unexpected goal? Things would truly be interesting this time around.
"Continue with the investigation. Don't miss out on a single one." The Crow Emperor coldly laughed.
Qin Wentian who was in the crowd had a look of shock on his face. His heart wasn't calm at all. There was actually someone who attacked the emperor palace to rescue him? Other than Ye Qianyu, who else could it be? In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the only people he was acquainted with were Princess Kitamura and Ye Qianyu.
Upon thinking of that beautiful silhouette, Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. He didn't understand why Ye Qianyu would come here.
In the void, darkness descended, covering the sky and the sun, blocking out the sunlight. Everyone raised their heads, and it was as though they could see a gigantic black screen, continuously covering the sky. Very soon, the vast void was covered in darkness.
"Go." A voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. As expected, it was Ye Qianyu's voice. His silhouette flashed as numerous spatial gates appeared around him. As he stepped out, there seemed to be many silhouettes moving in different directions.
The Crow Emperor inclined his head and stared at the sky. After that, his silhouette flashed as a pair of black wings appeared on his back. He soared up into the sky with lightning speed as a thunderous boom rang out. An incomparably intense collision rang out in the air. Qin Wentian inclined his head and glanced over. He knew that the Crow Emperor and Ye Qianyu were clashing.
Emperor light flashed as beams of incomparably dazzling emperor-ranked weapons destroyed all of Qin Wentian's illusory bodies. However, Qin Wentian's true body continued to shuttle through spatial gates with extreme speed. When all the illusory bodies were destroyed, he already arrived at the boundary of the encirclement. There was an immortal emperor and a group of immortal kings standing guard there.
