God Realm.
The God Realm.
The Four Direction Palace.
Cui Twelve and Liu Qing stood side by side in the main hall. They had just received a summons from His Majesty to wait here.
Half a year.
It had been half a year since they returned from the Immortal Region. For the God Realm, which had a long history, half a year was but a blink of an eye.
Everything in the God Realm was still operating normally, except for …
Liu Qing.
After eating that pill, Liu Qing's personality had changed drastically. She was no longer smiling adorably like before.
She became distant from everyone. Even though her spirit art was of the fire element, she was like a frozen block of ice. She was so cold that it sent chills down people's spines. She even made people feel that she was unreasonable.
The two who were once best friends in the Four Direction Palace were now here.
Cui Twelve also kept his distance from Liu Qing. Firstly, Liu Qing didn't like people being too close to her. Secondly, he couldn't stand the coldness emanating from her bones.
A shadow passed through the middle of the two of them and greeted the person in front of them.
"Your Majesty."
Not long after, a handsome middle-aged man appeared on the throne. Although his clothes were a little messy at the moment, his hair was meticulously combed.
Cui Twelve couldn't help but sneak a peek. He had never seen His Majesty like this since he came to the God Realm.
Especially the dragon robe he was wearing …
That was his most precious treasure, but it was now ruined beyond recognition.
Bi 'an nodded indifferently on the throne. He could tell from his brows that he was a little tired. He rubbed the jade ring on his left thumb with his right hand as he looked at Cui Twelve and Liu Qing with a sharp gaze.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
As soon as Lao Ai finished speaking, Liu Qing knelt on the ground with a cold expression on her face. She placed her hands on both sides of her legs and kowtowed.
Bi 'an on the throne smiled and said, "What crime?"
Cui Twelve became nervous as well. Even though they had rehearsed this scene countless times over the past half a year, he was still worried that Liu Qing, who was growing colder and colder, would ignore everything he had said.
Liu Jing, who was kneeling on one knee, raised her head and looked straight into Tao Wu's eyes.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for my incompetence for not retrieving the item you entrusted to me."
"Really?"
Bi 'an nodded indifferently, but even so, Cui Twelve and Liu Jing were unable to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Not being able to figure it out was their greatest fear of Bi.
Cui Twelve almost couldn't breathe due to the oppressive atmosphere, but Liu Qing didn't seem to feel anything. She continued to stare straight into Bi 'an's eyes as she replied.
"The first place this subordinate rushed to is the Lower Realm's Heavenly Court. Among the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court is considered to be closer to our God Realm, and its power is also stronger. At that time, I wanted to borrow the power of the Heavenly Court to help me retrieve the Xuan-Yuan Sword as soon as possible and hand it over to His Majesty. Everything went according to plan, until one day, I could no longer sense the Xuan-Yuan Sword. "
"It was as if someone was deliberately hiding this artifact. At that time, I tried to use my spiritual power to break it. Forgive me for my incompetence, but I was unable to do so. After that, I tried the stupidest method of finding a needle in a haystack, but the result was still barely satisfactory. No matter what, I did not complete my mission. Please punish me, Your Majesty. "
Everything was a matter of fact, and there was no excuse for himself in between.
Liu Jing was just that righteous. She said those two sentences with force. Cui Twelve grew anxious as he listened. This was not what they had rehearsed before.
Excuse me!
Why can't I excuse myself?
Seeing Liu Jing lower her head after saying those two sentences, Cui Twelve hurriedly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, actually …"
"Alright, I know all of this."
At that moment, Bi 'an on the throne waved his hand. There was actually a hint of a smile on his face.
"This King actually sensed this a long time ago. The method that Seventeen mentioned to conceal the heavenly secrets is the Sky Shrouding Formation. It's a good idea to break the formation, but the person who set it up is very powerful. Even I can't guarantee that I can break it. "
Cui Twelve's expression lit up, but Bi 'an spoke up again.
"You can avoid death, but you can't escape punishment. This King didn't allow you to descend, you were the one who gave the order to do so. Now that you failed your mission, the servants will definitely be unhappy if this King doesn't punish you. Your punishment is to face the wall in the Ice Pool. Go. "
At the Ice Pool.
Cui Twelve instantly panicked when he heard the punishment. That's the Ice Pool …
Even a Sky Supreme with ice attribute cultivation techniques would not be able to resist the cold. Now, he actually wanted Liu Jing to go to the Chilling Ice Pool. Wasn't that asking for her life?
"This subordinate accepts his punishment."
Liu Jing did not refute this result. She stood up expressionlessly and walked out of the hall without the slightest hesitation.
Cui Twelve suddenly felt conflicted as he watched her leave the hall.
In terms of relationship, he was closer to Liu Jing.
Now that Liu Jing was about to go to the Ice Pool, he hesitated. Should I keep my promise to Liu Jing and expose Ye Zichen?
"Twelve."
Just as he hesitated, Bi 'an spoke up on the throne.
Cui Twelve quickly calmed himself down.
"This subordinate is here."
"Seventeen took the Love Breaking Pill, right?"
"Yes."
"Why?" Bi 'an squinted his eyes.
Bi 'an's gaze was extremely pressuring to Cui Twelve. He comforted himself several times in his heart, then clenched his teeth.
"Seventeen wanted to search for the Xuan-Yuan Sword in the lower realms, but we received news that the Demon Realm had sent out a special envoy. Little Seventeen and I went to the God Realm to kill the envoy just in case. Due to some errors in the information, the envoy was of the Saint level. Little Seventeen and I were no match for him, so Little Seventeen took the Love Breaking Pill to save me. "
"You just said that you went directly to the Demon Realm to kill the envoy?"
"Yes."
Bang.
Bi 'an's aura suddenly surged, sending Cui Twelve flying. Cui Twelve slammed into a pillar as blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.
"Nonsense. Is the Demon Realm somewhere you can go? You actually dared to go to the Demon Realm to kill the envoy. It's fine if you went, but you actually brought Seventeen with you. Ahem … If Seventeen died, would you be able to bear the responsibility? "
In his rage, Lao Ai kept slapping the armrest of his chair and coughed violently as he spoke.
No, he was coughing up blood.
"Ahem …"
Cui Twelve raised his eyebrows when he saw the purplish red blood on his handkerchief.
