Luo Zheng stood in place. His body was tense, and he was still in a state of shock. His chest was heaving up and down, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
If the lightning ball had descended another foot, he would have used all of his divine abilities to defend himself.
However, Luo Zheng knew that the power of the Thousand Commandments Stone Tablet was enough to kill an upper True God. With his current cultivation, any resistance would be futile …
Because of this small accident, he had almost been killed. Luo Zheng really didn't expect this. If he really died in Six Ren Divine City, it would be too unjust!
Before the lightning ball disappeared, Luo Zheng saw a red light shoot out from a corner of the courtyard.
Although Luo Zheng didn't know what that red light was, the disappearance of the lightning ball definitely had something to do with it!
He turned his head and saw a girl dressed in green standing at the corner of the wall. That girl had a simple ponytail, revealing her pure white neck. Her baby fat little face was full of spirit and beauty. Her hair was very long. Even though it was tied into a ponytail, the braid still hung down to her heels.
At this moment, it wasn't just Luo Zheng who was paying attention to her. Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
The eyes of a few young Proof of Divinity cultivators lit up when they saw this girl. Their hearts immediately thumped. At the same time, they were somewhat puzzled. A girl like this would attract countless gazes no matter where she appeared, but they hadn't seen her just now!
The attention of the Han Jia people, including all of the Dao Imparting True Gods, naturally wasn't on this girl. Their eyes were firmly fixed on her hand.
The girl's jade-like hands seemed to have been smeared with mutton fat. They were white and delicate, without a single wrinkle. She held a token in her hand. On the token was a large word, "Exempt." This was Han Jia's veto token.
Palace Lord Han Meng calmed himself down and let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, he thought that Luo Zheng was really going to die. He didn't expect this girl to make a move at that moment. It was truly out of his expectations.
Han Meng didn't recognize this girl, but how could someone with a Veto Token be an ordinary person? He already had some guesses in his heart, and a respectful look appeared on his face. He cupped his hands towards the little girl in green, "Miss, thank you for saving me just now."
The little girl blinked her bright eyes and waved her hand. "No need to thank me. Besides, I saved him. He should be the one thanking me."
"Yes, yes," Han Meng agreed. "This … Luo Tianxing, this girl used the Veto Order to save your life …" Han Meng guessed that this girl was most likely from the Han Family's main branch. As for why she wanted to return to the Han Family's ancestral grounds, and why she wanted to participate in the examination, he had no idea.
However, none of the people who had returned from the floating island could afford to be negligent.
Hearing Han Meng's words, Luo Zheng also cupped his hands towards the green-clothed girl and thanked her, "Many thanks to this young lady for saving my life."
The green-clothed girl glanced at Luo Zheng and waved the already activated Veto Token in her hand. She smiled slightly: "I heard that this token is very valuable. How can it be resolved with just a thank you? I saved your life. How are you going to repay me? "
She had returned to the ancestral grounds this time to pay respects to her ancestors.
A rich and powerful family like the Han Clan, after countless years, had already evolved into a huge power. The internal structure of the Han Clan was also very complicated. Other than the great ancestral worship that was held once every ten thousand years, many members of the main family would return to the ancestral grounds alone.
Moreover, this was the first time she had left the floating island. Everything in the Liuren Domain was very fresh to her. During this period of time, she had also toured the entire Liuren Divine City.
However, the scene that left the deepest impression on her was the scene of Hu Lan Zhuo challenging Luo Zheng in the Hanyue Building!
Along the way, Second Grandpa Hu had told her not to have any expectations for the Proof of Divinity cultivators in the ancestral grounds. Second Grandpa Hu had said that although the Divine Dominion was vast, in terms of strength, there were only two definitions: those outside the floating island and those inside the floating island.
Both were Proof of Divinity cultivators, but the ones inside the floating island could easily kill those outside the floating island. It was the same for lower True Gods and intermediate True Gods …
However, what had happened in the Hanyue Building was that the little bit of strength that Luo Zheng had displayed was enough to refute Second Grandpa Hu's point of view. Based on the little bit of strength that Luo Zheng had displayed, it was enough to instantly kill 90% of the Proof of Divinity cultivators on the floating island.
She and Second Grandpa Hu both knew that based on Luo Zheng's skillful control, his true strength was probably even higher. Wouldn't such a person be comparable to the true geniuses of the main family?
Because of this, she had developed quite a bit of interest in Luo Zheng. However, Second Grandpa Hu didn't allow her to interfere in this matter. He would naturally send people to investigate. In the end, she couldn't dissuade Second Grandpa Hu and could only give up.
After she went to the Great Spirit Tomb in the ancestral land of the Han Family to worship the ancestors, she still had plenty of time. Thinking that the big examination of the Heaven Containing Palace would be very lively, she begged Second Grandpa Hu to give her a spot and quietly entered the Heaven Containing Palace. Before entering the Heaven Containing Palace, Second Grandpa Hu even used a "Face Concealing Technique."
After this Face Concealing Technique was used, it could conceal a person's entire aura. Standing in a crowd, one wouldn't be conspicuous at all. It would be very difficult for bystanders to notice.
Therefore, when she entered the Heaven Containing Palace, no one noticed that there was such a little girl in the corner.
After staying in the Heaven Containing Palace for a while, she saw Luo Zheng slowly walk in. However, she didn't expect that Luo Zheng's throw of the black short halberd would directly trigger the Thousand Commandments Slate!
The little girl obviously knew the power of the Thousand Commandments Slate. When the slate's punishment came crashing down, Luo Zheng would most likely die without a doubt. In her heart, she already had the thought of using the Veto Decree. However, when she heard that Palace Master Han Meng had asked "Old Chen" to use the Veto Decree, she immediately dismissed that thought.
She absolutely didn't expect that "Old Chen" would say that he didn't have the Veto Decree with him at the crucial moment.
Therefore, the little girl fiercely glared at Old Chen. In her heart, she cursed, "Why didn't you say you didn't have it earlier?" Only then did she activate the Veto Decree and negate the Thousand Commandments Slate's punishment.
"How to repay …" Luo Zheng was slightly stunned. He suddenly had a strange feeling.
Seeing that Luo Zheng didn't know how to respond, Han Meng hurriedly said, "Our Han Family branch still has a few Veto Decrees. After the exam, I'll have someone return them to you. What do you think?"
After hearing this, the little girl said, "The Veto Decree is easy to say. It's not like it's some rare object. But I saved his life. According to the rules, his life is mine, right? So he's one of my people, right? "
When these words came out of the mouth of this naïve little girl, everyone's face was filled with astonishment.
Luo Zheng was also completely speechless …
Saving a life was admittedly a great favor, but that didn't mean that the life saved belonged to a certain person …
This was the first time this little girl had left the floating island. She originally didn't know much about worldly affairs. Because Grandpa Hu had followed her and taken care of her, she hadn't caused any trouble. Now that she had entered the Heaven Containing Palace, it wasn't suitable for Grandpa Hu to follow her. Therefore, she began to talk nonsense.
