The spacious hall was completely illuminated by the Fate Lamps.
Jiao Wenbo's extinguished Fate Lamp was extremely eye-catching in the hall.
The two commanders in charge of guarding the palace were both frightened out of their wits.
In their opinion, it was impossible for the Fate Lamps of the Four Great Marshals to be extinguished.
However, Jiao Wenbo's Fate Lamp had indeed been extinguished. It was obvious that he had died.
"Report to the Immortal Emperor, this is no small matter!" One of the Great Generals collected his thoughts and blurted out.
"That's right, let's go!" The Great General nodded in agreement. At the same time, he ordered the Immortal Soldier beside him to continue guarding the place and observe the situation.
Meanwhile, at the center of the Immortal Court, in the Shangyuan Immortal Palace of the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom, the Shangyuan Immortal Emperor was sitting on his throne.
The Shangyuan Immortal Emperor's expression was extremely unpleasant. He listened to the report from the Immortal Officer with a gloomy expression.
According to the report from the Immortal Officer, the bandits were extremely ruthless. Not only did they rob low-level cities, but they had also attacked high-level cities too!
In fact, according to the report from the Immortal Officer, the bandits had received help from his disciple, Jiao Wenbo.
How was this possible!
This was the first reaction of the Shangyuan Immortal Emperor. He clearly knew what kind of person his disciple, Jiao Wenbo, was. Why would he help the bandits to rob the cities of the Celestial Kingdom?
Besides, he was one of the Four Great Marshals of the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom. He had a high status and a shocking amount of wealth.
Why would he help the bandits to rob the cities of the Shangyuan Celestial Kingdom?
"Are you sure the report is correct?" The Shangyuan Immortal Emperor frowned and stared at the Immortal Officer kneeling on the ground.
Jiao Wenbo was his disciple. He had no choice but to be cautious about something like this.
The Immortal Officer immediately explained when he heard the Immortal Emperor's tone, "Immortal Emperor, it's absolutely true."
"The city guards and the Immortal Army saw Marshal Jiao entering the city and negotiating with the City Lord, asking for resources to deal with the bandits." The Immortal Officer kneeled on the ground in fear. "Then, the City Lord brought Marshal Jiao into the treasure vault."
"Yesterday, we found the corpse of the City Lord in the treasury, and the treasures in the treasury all disappeared."
"All the cities were like this, so we concluded that Marshal Jiao had colluded with the enemy. That's why …"
When the immortal official said this, the Shangyuan Immortal King's face darkened. He had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.
This immortal official did not know that he had sent Jiao Wenbo to capture Lin Di, the only son of the Ren Ancestor.
How could he have the time to plunder some city when he was dealing with such an important matter?
Just as the Shangyuan Immortal King was unsure of what to do, he saw two streaks of light flying over from afar and landing at the entrance of the hall.
After standing at the entrance of the hall, the two commanders guarding the Life Lamp Hall walked in at the same time.
When the Upper Yuan Immortal King saw the two of them, his heart tightened. He had a bad feeling about this.
These two were the commanders of the Life Lamp Hall. For them to come at the same time, there must be a problem.
He was afraid that something had happened!
The immortal official who was kneeling on the ground turned around after noticing the commotion. He was dumbfounded when he discovered the identity of the newcomers.
He also seemed to have understood something and felt that something had probably happened. Otherwise, why would the commander of the Life Lamp Hall come here?
"Immortal Emperor, Marshal Jiao Wenbo's Life Lamp in the Life Lamp Hall has been extinguished!" The two commanders came to the hall and knelt down on one knee in front of the Shangyuan Immortal King.
The Upper Yuan Immortal Emperor on the throne held his breath. It was obvious that he was shocked by the words of the two commanders.
Jiao Wenbo's Life Lamp had been extinguished. He was dead?
The eyes of the immortal official kneeling on the ground widened too. He could not believe what he had just heard.
Jiao Wenbo's Life Lamp had been extinguished?
Was this a joke? He had just reported that Jiao Wenbo had colluded with the bandits to rob the treasures of the high-level cities and kill the City Lord.
But now, he was dead?
"Immortal Emperor, I …" The kneeling immortal official tried to explain, but was stopped by the Shangyuan Immortal King with a wave of his hand.
As a matter of fact, the Shangyuan Immortal Emperor knew that the matter wasn't as simple as he had thought.
His disciple Jiao Wenbo had gone to capture Lin Di, and there had been no news of him.
And now, news had arrived that he had died, and his Life Lamp had been extinguished.
At the same time, someone had accused him of colluding with the bandits to rob the treasures of the city.
When the three pieces of news were put together, it was too unusual.
"Has Jiao Wenbo's Life Lamp been acting strangely over the past few days?" The Upper Yuan Immortal King sitting on the throne suddenly asked the two commanders of the Life Lamp Hall.
The commander who had first discovered the abnormality of the Life Lamp stepped forward and reported the situation, "Immortal Emperor, there has indeed been an abnormality."
"Over the past few days, Marshal Jiao's Life Lamp has been too stable. It has not fluctuated at all."
The Shangyuan Immortal King had a rough idea of what was going on after hearing the response from the commander of the Life Lamp Hall.
"Most likely, the enemy used some sort of method to stabilize Jiao Wenbo's soul and prevent his Life Lamp from extinguishing. He's already dead."
"Then, they disguised themselves as Jiao Wenbo to gain the trust of the high-tier city's City Lord, open the treasury, and take all the resources inside."
The crowd came to a sudden realization after hearing the Shangyuan Immortal King's words. They roughly understood what was going on.
If that was the case, it did make sense. Many of the things that they had been confused about were cleared up.
Following that, the Shangyuan Immortal King remained expressionless. The immortal officials of the Immortal Court also had no idea what their Immortal King was thinking.
However, they could sense the berserk aura coming from the Shangyuan Immortal King. It was clear that he was extremely furious.
The crowd had no idea what the Shangyuan Immortal King was thinking. However, the Shangyuan Immortal King was furious.
It was obvious that Emperor Lin had failed in his attempt to capture them.
Besides, the Shangyuan Immortal King had reason to suspect that the bandits that were looting the cities of the Shangyuan Immortal Kingdom were in cahoots with Lin Di.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that someone would disguise themselves and rob a high-tier city after Jiao Wenbo, who was trying to capture Lin Di, died.
Why would the bandits suddenly attack Jiao Wenbo when they were looting the Shangyuan Immortal Kingdom?
They must be in cahoots with Jiao Wenbo. After Lin Di was attacked, he notified the bandits to come to his aid. With their combined efforts, they managed to kill Jiao Wenbo.
Then, he transformed into his appearance and plundered various cities.
"Lin Di!" The Shangyuan Immortal King roared in his heart. He had completely pinned the blame on Lin Di.
He swore to himself that he would definitely kill Lin Di.
