"Junior Zhong Shan requests an audience with Senior Tian Lao!" Zhong Shan shouted at the great formation.
Zhong Shan did not choose to barge in. Although this white fog area was very large, Zhong Shan believed that as long as he stood outside, Tian Lao would know that he was here.
However, there was no reply from Tian Lao in the white fog area. It was still quiet.
"Junior Zhong Shan requests an audience with Senior Tian Lao!" Zhong Shan shouted again.
The inside of the great formation was still quiet. Tian Lao was unwilling to see Zhong Shan, or perhaps Tian Lao disdained to see Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan raised his eyebrows. Zhong Shan could guess that Tian Lao's temper was strange. Moreover, his identity did not enter Tian Lao's eyes at all. Because back then, even the Grand Xuan King did not dare to assume a high and mighty attitude in front of Tian Lao.
Zhong Shan waited for four hours, but Tian Lao still did not come out.
"Scorching Fire, summon my eight hundred thousand Zhong Family troops. Dig ten meters into the ground and dismantle this formation for me!" Zhong Shan shouted.
"Yes!" Scorching Fire immediately responded.
"Who dares dismantle my great formation?" Tian Lao's angry voice finally came from inside the great formation.
Then, the white fog great formation surged. Clearly, Tian Lao was very angry. Zhong Shan had annoyed him for four hours, but he actually did not scram and actually wanted to dismantle his great formation?
"Senior, Junior has offended you. It's just that Senior has always ignored me, and I have an extremely urgent matter, so I had no choice but to resort to this plan!" Zhong Shan said immediately.
"Hmph, plan? Come in! "Tian Lao's voice came from inside again.
As soon as Tian Lao's voice fell, a passageway suddenly appeared above the white fog.
Zhong Shan quickly flew into the passageway with Scorching Fire in tow, heading straight for the innermost part.
Inside, it was still a vast expanse of white fog. It was impossible to see anything inside the fog. Moreover, this fog was the same as the fog on the battlefield in the past. It could also affect one's divine sense.
The two of them flew through the white fog passageway and soon arrived at the center. A black palace floated in the air.
"Heavenly Pulse Palace!"
On the plaque of the palace, there were three words, "Heavenly Pulse Hall". According to Tian Lao, people who practiced Feng Shui were divided into Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost. Then Tian Lao should be the successor of the Heavenly Pulse.
The doors to the Heavenly Pulse Palace opened, and Zhong Shan and Zhihuo stepped inside. Inside, a huge compass was arranged on the floor of the main hall, and different candles were lit in all four directions.
Tian Lao leaned on his walking stick and looked coldly at Zhong Shan.
"Zhong Shan greets Senior!" Zhong Shan said immediately.
"Zhihuo greets Senior!" Zhihuo said immediately.
"Little guy, no one dares to dismantle my formation. You're quite bold!" Tian Lao said coldly.
"This junior dares not. It's just that His Majesty has ordered me to thoroughly investigate Princess Qianyou's case, so I had no choice but to offend Senior," Zhong Shan said.
"Don't try to pressure me with your ancient abilities. No one in the Exalted Celestial Dynasty can do that to me!" Tian Lao said.
"Yes, I know that Senior was already prepared to take Yingning as a disciple, but Yingning was mysteriously killed later on. Senior was not at ease. Zhong Shan only came here to ask Senior to help me find the true culprit, clear Qianyou's name, and give Yingning peace. Senior, please quell your anger!" Zhong Shan said sincerely.
"Clear? It wasn't Qianyou who killed her? "Tian Lao said coldly.
"I'm sure Tian Lao also knows Qianyou's character. She wouldn't kill her sister. Besides, even if she did, she wouldn't do it in a crowded place. Qianyou isn't that stupid. Tian Lao didn't formally take Yingning in the past, so Qianyou definitely still has a chance to be chosen by Tian Lao again. If Qianyou is persistent, she will definitely try to change Senior's choice. Yingning is already dead, and only Qianyou is left. Senior has already lost Yingning. Do you want to lose another Qianyou?" Zhong Shan tried to persuade him.
"I've said it before. No matter what the truth is, I won't take Qianyou as my disciple again. Even if she didn't kill Yingning, my words have never changed. "Tian Lao shook his head.
Looking at this stubborn old man, Zhong Shan raised his eyebrows.
"Senior, this junior received the purple cotton kasaya from Golden Cicada. This junior is willing to use it as a hostage in exchange for a chance to clear Qianyou's name. If Qianyou is still the murderer in the end, the purple cotton kasaya will belong to Senior," Zhong Shan said sincerely.
Zhong Shan didn't say this because the purple cotton kasaya was precious and powerful, but because Tian Lao had exclaimed in surprise. After forcing Clay Bodhisattva to retreat, Tian Lao had questioned Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan had revealed the purple cotton kasaya. At that time, Tian Lao had taken a deep breath and said, 'Golden Cicada? He's really willing to part with a ninth-grade Dharma treasure. '
He was really willing to part with it? From this sentence and Tian Lao's serious tone, Zhong Shan was sure that Tian Lao cared a lot about this kasaya. It was impossible that Tian Lao hadn't seen a ninth-grade Dharma treasure before. Zhong Shan was even sure that Tian Lao had more than one ninth-grade Dharma treasure. But why did he care about this kasaya? There must be some special meaning to it that attracted Tian Lao. Tian Lao wanted it.
As expected, after Zhong Shan finished speaking, Tian Lao narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhong Shan. Then, he shook his head and said, "What does Qianyou's innocence have to do with me?"
Seeing Tian Lao's expression, Zhong Shan could only sigh. This Tian Lao really knew how to push his luck.
"Okay, no matter what the result is, after Judgement Day, this purple cotton kasaya will belong to Senior. How about that?" Zhong Shan said.
"Mm," Tian Lao responded softly. Then, he continued, "I won't lie for you!"
"Yes, Junior believes that Qianyou is innocent. Naturally, there is no need to lie. I just want to ask if Senior can summon Yingning's soul? "Zhong Shan asked seriously.
"The ancient god already asked me. No, Yingning's soul hasn't entered the Underworld Ghost City. I can't summon it!" Tian Lao shook his head and said.
Can't? Zhong Shan furrowed his brows.
"That day, I saw that Senior's' derivative world 'was incomparably magical. It can actually simulate a world. I think that if Senior can simulate a soul, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zhong Shan said.
"That's right. That soul will do things according to my thoughts, but it's not real," Tian Lao said.
"Yes, Junior only hopes that on Judgement Day, Senior can derive Yingning's soul. You don't need to say anything. You just need to look at her relatives. Everyone can look at each other for three breaths of time. Then, Senior can 'send' them to the Underworld, "Zhong Shan said.
"Oh?" Tian Lao was slightly puzzled.
"After Judgement Day, the purple cotton kasaya will belong to Senior. When I think about it, with my meager strength, I absolutely won't dare to go back on my words," Zhong Shan said.
"Ha," Tian Lao revealed a contemptuous smile.
Indeed, if he wanted to play mind games with Tian Lao, Zhong Shan's current strength was far from enough.
On the way back.
"Marshal, are you really going to give the purple cotton kasaya to Tian Lao?" Zhi Huo said reluctantly.
"Haha, there are some things that you don't know." Zhong Shan shook his head and smiled.
Speaking of which, although the purple cotton kasaya had helped Zhong Shan a few times, Zhong Shan had wanted to give it away a long time ago. Tian Lao wasn't a good person, and similarly, Golden Cicada wasn't a good person either. Give me the purple cotton kasaya?
Just like the holy sword in Zhi Huo's hand, Zhong Shan was sure that His Majesty knew his every move these days. There was no need to send anyone to investigate, the holy sword told him everything. Similarly, the purple cotton kasaya was the treasure of Golden Cicada in his previous life. Then, wouldn't Golden Cicada also know everything about him?
It was just that when he was powerless to resist, Zhong Shan had always pretended to be confused. Only those who could pretend to be confused could live longer.
The one-month deadline was up.
During this month of publicity, Zhong Shan's prestige in the hearts of the people in the Immemorial Sacred Capital was also rapidly increasing. In the Immemorial Sacred Capital, one could not worship Zhong Shan, be jealous of Zhong Shan, or ignore Zhong Shan. However, one could never not know Zhong Shan.
Anyone who didn't know Zhong Shan was a barbarian!
Not everyone worshipped Zhong Shan, but there would always be some people who couldn't play a decisive role in the trial. However, Zhong Shan's defense of Princess Qian You was much stronger in terms of aura.
This was an invisible thing. It was like two people fighting. If one person's aura was stronger than the other's, it was very likely that he would win.
At the very least, the people were discussing and setting up wantonly bets to claim that they supported Zhong Shan. This information was passed to the ears of the officials in the imperial court. In this way, the officials' conviction that Princess Qian You was the real culprit would be slightly shaken.
This was very subtle, and there didn't seem to be any difference. However, the atmosphere in the imperial court was no longer one-sided in favor of Princess Qian You. This also reduced the pressure on Zhong Shan by a lot.
On this day, countless gamblers raised their heads in anticipation, waiting for the results of the imperial court.
The officials in the imperial court were already waiting for a long time.
There were two rows of officials. The left row was still led by Grand Preceptor Huan Tulong. The right row was still led by the Righteous King, followed by the Great Xuan King. The twelfth row was led by Heavenly Marquis Qitian, followed by Ma Zhuiri.
On both sides of the officials stood a large number of Gu clan relatives, waiting for the trial to begin. Among them was the Great Xuan King's top advisor, Fan Yipin.
Everyone stood there quietly. No one said a word.
"His Majesty has arrived ~ ~ ~ ~" A eunuch's voice dragged out.
The space in front of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Throne distorted slightly. The Great Luo Sage, wearing a purple dragon robe and a white jade crown, suddenly appeared.
"Long live the Great Luo Sage ~ ~ ~ ~"
The officials bowed at the same time.
The Great Luo Sage waved his sleeves, bringing out a gust of wind as he sat down.
Outside the Primordial Sacred Temple, at the foot of the Primordial Mountain, Zhong Shan held a sacred sword and quietly waited for the Great Luo Sage's summons. Beside Zhong Shan, there were two other people. Zhong Shan also knew about their origins from the investigation he had done over the past few days.
One of them was wearing a luxurious royal robe and had a noble aura. At the same time, a warm and harmonious aura could be felt from him. It made one unconsciously want to get close to him and even submit to him. The Third Prince of the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty, Gu Taizong, Emperor Taizong!
The other one was wearing a suit of armor. On his head was a long crown that was even longer than the Phoenix Feather Golden Crown of Heavenly Marquis. His face was filled with arrogance. Everywhere he looked, he had an aura that made everyone submit to him. Before him, it was either death or submission. Absolute dominance. Absolute dominance! The Fourth Prince of the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty, Gu Zhantian, Heavenly King Zhan!
