Wutian immediately activated his heavenly veins and grabbed Di Tian and Ji Wuyi to prevent them from kneeling.
Then, a middle-aged man appeared in the sky above the city.
He was seven feet tall and had a majestic appearance. He wore a purple-gold robe that exuded an inviolable majesty!
"This is an Emperor-level expert!"
Wutian and the other two narrowed their eyes in shock and fear!
This person was the Heavenly General of the Xiling Continent!
The might of a Great Emperor was terrifying. If it weren't for the heavenly veins, they would definitely be kowtowing like everyone else in the city.
"Greetings, Lord Heavenly General!"
Two incomparably respectful voices suddenly sounded.
They were the Lord Of The Palace and the Vice Lord Of The Palace from the Mystic Palace.
Hearing this, the faces of the people in the city changed. Only now did they realize that this person was actually the Heavenly General of the Xiling Continent.
In an instant, everyone knelt down with pious and reverent expressions.
The Heavenly General ignored everyone. He didn't even look at the two powerhouses of the Mystic Palace. He reached out his hand, and three figures instantly appeared in front of him.
The three of them were Elder Yu, Di Li, and Ji Wuhui.
After a short period of recovery, Elder Yu's injuries were mostly healed.
However, both Di Li and Ji Wuhui were covered in wounds and blood. The Great Sage weapons in their hands clanged, their sharpness splitting the air!
The two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. When they saw the Heavenly General in front of them, they immediately put away their Great Sage weapons and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Lord Heavenly General."
Elder Yu also cupped his hands and bowed.
"Why are you making such a big fuss?"
The Heavenly General glanced at the three of them with a calm expression. His tone was indifferent and imposing.
Ji Wuhui was the first to speak. He pointed at Elder Yu and said with righteous indignation, "Lord, Yu Huo instigated Gu Yi and the other two to destroy my Ji Family's foundation and kill my Ji Family's disciples. Lord, please uphold justice for this subordinate!"
The Heaven General's brows raised as he glanced at the city below, and his pupils constricted slightly. After that, he gazed at Yu Huo and asked expressionlessly, "Yu Huo, is what Ji Wuhui said true?"
Elder Yu's expression was magnanimous, neither servile nor overbearing as he said, "This subordinate does indeed have a favorable impression of Gu Yi's group of three, but I've never ordered them to do anything. All of this was fabricated by Ji Wuhui in an attempt to harm this subordinate. Milord, please investigate thoroughly."
Di Li said: "Lord Heavenly General, I can testify to this."
The Heavenly General carefully sized up the trio's expressions.
After a while, he had an idea.
The Heavenly General said, "Yu Huo, tell me the ins and outs of this matter."
"Yes."
Elder Yu nodded, and then told him about how Ji Baoyun had entrapped Wutian and the other two for Lu Jiyuan, as well as how Wutian and the other two had counterattacked.
Ji Wuhui said angrily, "Nonsense! The Ji family is upright and upright. How could they do such a despicable thing?"
Elder Yu's face was full of disdain as he looked at the Heavenly General. "Milord, Fengmen City's Heavenly Soldier Shi Jiaoyun and the three leaders of the Zodiac Palace are all aware of this matter. If you don't believe me, you can immediately summon them to clarify things."
The Heavenly General waved his hand and looked at Ji Wuhui. "What else do you have to say?"
Ji Wuhui's face alternated between green and white. In the end, he clenched his teeth and cupped his hands. "Milord, even if Yu Huo is speaking the truth, my younger brother is still the Mystic Palace's enforcer. How could a few disciples offend him? Milord, please make the decision."
"What an idiot."
Elder Yu muttered indifferently. "Ji Wuhui, have you forgotten the rules set by Lord Heavenly General? The Son of Heaven is punished the same as the commoners. As the Mystic Palace's enforcer, Ji Baoyun knowingly broke the law and should be punished according to his crimes! Yet, you actually said such words. In this old man's opinion, you are relying on your foster father's name to not put Lord Heavenly General in your eyes. "
"You …"
Ji Wuhui was enraged.
However, just as he spoke, Elder Yu shouted. "Shut up for this old man. Xiyu City's underground palace belongs to the Xiling Continent and is under the jurisdiction of Lord Heavenly General. Yet, you ignored the rules set by Lord Heavenly General and blindly asked Lord Heavenly General to make the decision for your younger brother. Aren't you relying on your foster father's name to pressure Lord Heavenly General?"
Elder Yu directly pinned a huge label on him, causing Ji Wuhui to be unable to contain his anger. He shouted, "Stop slandering me!"
"Slandering you?"
Elder Yu sneered. "Ji Wuhui, touch your conscience and speak. Did you know that Lord Heavenly General had already approved Gu Yi and the other two to enter the eight God Realms? That's why you personally came to Ximing City to kill them?"
"You …"
Ji Wuhui glared at Elder Yu. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Di Li. He said disdainfully, "Ji Wuhui, that enforcer has already told me everything. Are you still trying to quibble?"
"Enforcer?"
The Heavenly General looked at Di Li in confusion.
Di Li looked down at the city below and shouted, "Bring him up."
As soon as he finished speaking, two burly men carried the enforcer and soared into the sky.
When he saw this person, Ji Wuhui's eyes immediately filled with intense killing intent.
The Heavenly General glanced at him, intentionally or otherwise. The pressure of a great emperor burst out of his body, imprisoning Ji Wuhui, Elder Yu, and Di Li on the spot.
Then, he waved his hand and the enforcer flew uncontrollably in front of him. Soon after, he forcefully performed a soul-search.
Not long after, the soul-search ended. Without any suspense, the enforcer died on the spot.
However, the Heavenly General lowered his head and fell silent.
After a while, he raised his head and swept his gaze over the three people. He said, "After talking for so long, where are Ji Baoyun and Gu Yi? Where are they now? "
Hearing this, a trace of sorrow and anger appeared on Elder Yu's face. He cupped his hands at the Heavenly General and said, "My Lord, after this subordinate came out from the galaxy and informed you of what happened here, I used my Divine Perception to investigate. As a result, this subordinate sensed an abnormally terrifying aura outside the city. If this subordinate didn't guess wrongly, Ji Baoyun must have self-detonated his Quasi-Great Sage Battle Weapon and perished together with Gu Yi and the other two."
"What?"
The Heavenly General raised his eyebrows. His Divine Perception surged out of the city like a tide.
Ji Wuhui's face instantly turned ghastly pale. He also extended his Divine Perception.
In the end, the distance far exceeded the range of his Divine Perception.
Elder Yu and Di Li were the same.
Only the Heavenly General, who was a great emperor, could reach an unimaginable range of his Divine Perception.
After some investigation, the Heavenly General nodded and said, "I indeed sensed the aura of a Quasi-Great Sage Battle Weapon's self-detonation. However, I'm a little curious. Why are there five remnant auras in that place?"
"Five?"
Elder Yu and the other two frowned.
"One of the auras seems somewhat familiar. That's right, it's the Demonic Soldier Zhao Shuangjin!"
The Heavenly General's eyes suddenly burst out with a resplendent light!
"Zhao Shuangjin is dead?"
Elder Yu and the other two were stunned. Then, deep disbelief crawled onto their faces!
"No, I have to personally go to the scene and take a look," the Heavenly General said.
The moment he finished speaking, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Elder Yu, Di Li, and Ji Wuhui each had their own thoughts as they used teleportation and quickly chased after him.
Seeing the four big shots leave, Wutian frowned deeply with worry.
Of all his calculations, why hadn't he considered Zhao Shuangjin?
If he had allowed Nie Caixue to erase Zhao Shuangjin's aura, this wouldn't have happened at all.
Di Tian could see the worry in Wutian's heart. He lightly patted his shoulder and comforted him. "Don't worry. Only Elder Yu knows that we're still alive. If Elder Yu asks us later, we'll just find a random excuse."
Wutian sighed inwardly and nodded.
Han Tian suggested, "Why don't we follow and take a look?"
Di Tian: "Please don't. If we follow, we'll instead attract the Heavenly General's attention."
Han Tian: "Then what should we do now? We can't keep waiting here for the results! "
Di Tian smiled. "What we need to do now is to relax and find Su Ying for a chat."
"Find Su Ying for what?"
Wutian and Ji Wuhui were puzzled.
"Drag her into the eight Deity Realms as well, of course," Di Tian said with a smile.
Hearing this, the two became more and more puzzled.
Di Tian said with a smile, "Think about it. The three of us just 'died', and Elder Yu immediately found three people. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"
Wutian and Ji Wuhui thought about it seriously and realized that it was indeed the case.
Di Tian: "So, we need to find another person to go with us. When the four of us are together, I think that no matter how smart the Heavenly General is, he won't suspect us. Of course, even if it's only the three of us, the Heavenly General might not suspect us. However, there's nothing wrong with taking precautions."
Han Tian shook his head and sighed. "Smart people are indeed different. They think more comprehensively than us."
"Can you not be so sarcastic?"
Di Tian rolled his eyes.
Han Tian chuckled.
Then, the three of them walked into the city.
Han Tian said in a low voice, "To be honest, I didn't expect Elder Yu's mouth to be so sharp. He's always in the right, and Ji Wuhui doesn't even have a chance to speak."
Di Tian smiled. "After all, he's a veteran Great Perfection Realm Great Sage and is also a Heavenly Soldier. He's experienced and knowledgeable. In terms of scheming, Ji Wuhui is still lacking."
Han Tian whispered, "Di Tian, the Heavenly General already knows everything. Tell me, will he kill Ji Wuhui later?"
"No," Di Tian shook his head.
"So sure?" Han Tian was astonished.
"Didn't you see? After searching the Enforcer's soul, the Heavenly General turned silent. This means that he's weighing the pros and cons. After all, Ji Wuhui's backing isn't ordinary. The Heavenly General will also have some misgivings. Besides, we're already dead. There's no need for the Heavenly General to kill Ji Wuhui for us and offend Cheng Yu, "Di Tian said.
Han Tian said, "What you said is reasonable. But it's hard to guarantee that the Heavenly General won't suspect that we're still alive."
Di Tian smiled. "Don't worry. When the Heavenly General sensed the Quasi-Great Sage Combat Soldier's explosion, he had already determined that we're dead. Because in his heart, with our insignificant strength, it's impossible for us to survive. Now, the Heavenly General is most concerned about how Zhao Shuangjin died. As for us and Ji Baoyun, I'm afraid he has already forgotten about us!"
Han Tian said, "Elder Yu is the only one who knows the truth. In other words, as long as Elder Yu doesn't say anything, nothing will happen to us?"
Di Tian nodded. "It's like that. I think, with Heavenly God Ling Hua's identity token, Elder Yu wouldn't dare to say anything. Therefore, the situation is basically set …"
The two of them whispered to each other. Only Wutian was frowning along the way, not saying a word.
