(The ban has ended, and the update has stopped. Today's update was added for the girl 'Leng Xing Yue'. The reason was that she was pretty …)
A long time ago, this door was wide open, but ever since Fu Qing submitted to Demon Sage Ji Huan, it had never been opened again. Everyone who entered or exited through the crack of the door, and no one knew what Fu Qing meant by this.
The hall was very spacious, and the two of them even felt small when they walked in. The space inside was indeed very large. The floor was covered with dark green jade, and the roof was inlaid with all kinds of gems. It was a densely packed arrangement that looked like the sun, moon, and stars.
The dozen or so pillars supporting the main hall were all made of wood. It was unknown what kind of wood it was, but each of them was nearly ten zhang tall, perfectly round and perfectly straight. It would require five or six adults holding hands to encircle it. The wood was dark, and there were all kinds of demon carvings on it.
In the center of the spacious main hall, there was an old man in a short-sleeved shirt. His hair was tied up in a bun, his eyebrows and beard were green, and his pants and sleeves were rolled up. He sat cross-legged on the jade-green sparkling floor with his eyes closed. The surroundings were empty, giving off a profound and lonely feeling.
If Miao Yi were to see this person, he would definitely recognize him. It was the old man who had made him sweep the floor before. However, the old man wasn't even wearing cloth shoes right now, and was sitting cross-legged with his bare feet. And this old man was none other than one of the Four Constellations Masters of the Sea of Constellations, the Western Constellations Master, Fu Qing.
Lie Huan walked until he was two zhang away from the old man and stopped. He cupped his fists and said, "Lie Huan pays his respects to Milord!"
After the green-robed man took a few steps forward, he automatically stood to the side with his hands by his side.
Fu Qing closed his eyes and stood there quietly. He didn't speak, but a deep voice echoed in the hall. "What is it?"
"My Supreme Fire Palace has been destroyed …" Lie Huan then explained the situation of the Supreme Fire Palace.
A deep, ancient voice echoed. "Who did it?"
The voice in the main hall was majestic and mighty, but outside the main hall, there was no sound at all. From outside the main hall, this ancient palace was still quiet and deep.
Lie Huan gritted his teeth and said, "During this period of time, who else could it be other than those who participated in the Subjugation Crusade?"
The old voice echoed, "What do you want to do?"
Lie Huan replied firmly, "Naturally, it's to find the culprit and punish him severely."
"Let's make things clear first. Qing Feng. "The old voice reverberating in the hall quieted down.
"Understood!" The green-robed man cupped his fists and bowed, then left with Lie Huan.
The huge palace door closed once more …
Yun Guang and the others soon received a notification that the Western Constellations Palace's Minister of the Right, Qing Feng, wished to meet them. When they were led to the plaza of the main hall, they realized that they were not the only ones. The representatives from the other five clans had arrived as well, including Zuo Nanchun and Fairy Hong Chen. The eighteen representatives from the six clans who had been guarding the astrolabe during the Subjugation Crusade had all arrived.
Qing Feng and Lie Huan stood at the top of a flight of stairs outside the palace's tightly shut gates, looking down at them as they slowly made their way down the stairs.
Everyone looked at each other and secretly transmitted their voices to ask what was going on, but in the end, they didn't know. After the six people leading the way asked them to stop, they automatically separated and stood on both sides.
Qing Feng and Lie Huan slowly walked down as well. Lie Huan scrutinized the group of people below with a ferocious gaze.
Everyone from the six nations frowned at his condescending attitude. Yun Guang immediately said, "If you have something to say, then say it. We're not here for an audience. What are you putting on airs for?!"
Slowly descending the stairs, the two of them simultaneously positioned themselves on the final step. Lie Huan glared at Yun Guang and said viciously, "Someone has destroyed this prince's palace. Even if Yun Aotian were here, he would still have to give me an explanation!"
When they heard this, everyone looked at each other in shock. Who would be so bold? To actually dare to destroy Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan's palace?
With something like this happening, Yun Guang could no longer stand up to Lie Huan. He only dared to stand up to him earlier because he wanted to let Lie Huan know that the Six Sages were not to be trampled on so easily. But now, there was a reason for this. If he really angered this old monster, then no matter how many of them there were, they still wouldn't be enough to kill him.
However, he still asked curiously, "I say, Lie Huan! You're not suspecting us of this, are you? For the past ten years, we've been trapped inside the Western Constellations Palace and never left. Even if you're looking for someone to settle the score with, you shouldn't be looking for us! "
Qing Feng said, "The ones who have been guarding the astrolabe this entire time are you lot. I'm sure you've all seen the abnormal activity on the astrolabe. I summoned you here to ask. Who has been to Skyfire Mountain? "
Hei Yun glanced at Grandmaster Qi Jie, then suddenly chuckled and said, "Aren't you just making fun of us? There are over a hundred thousand cultivators running around. Who knows where they went?!"
Lie Huan shouted, "Bullshit! Do you think my Skyfire Mountain is that easy to barge into? Cultivators below the Red Lotus realm would find it difficult to even approach it, let alone enter my Supreme Fire Palace. Most cultivators wouldn't have the guts to barge into my doorstep. Other than the six of you, there can't be anyone else! "
Although this statement was a little arbitrary, it wasn't without reason. That was why Qing Feng remained expressionless and didn't say anything.
"Speak! Who did this?! Hand them over now, and I can let them off with a small punishment. If I catch them myself, then don't blame me for not giving the Six Sages any face! "Lie Huan swept his gaze across the crowd.
Ji Meimei avoided his gaze guiltily. If she remembered correctly, her son had gone to Skyfire Mountain, and it seemed like Grandmaster Qi Jie's disciples had gone as well. However, Grandmaster Qi Jie didn't seem to be present at the time, nor did he see it.
The others fell silent. If it was only Ji Meimei's son who had gone, then someone might have exposed him to save themselves some trouble. However, since Grandmaster Qi Jie was involved, things wouldn't be so easy. This monk was a benevolent person, and over the years, he had formed countless good karma. He had a wide network of connections, and was an esteemed guest of the Six Sages. Everyone had to treat him with the utmost respect, and it wasn't a good idea to offend him.
"If you're not saying anything, then you're tacitly admitting that it was one of your people!" Lie Huan chuckled coldly, then shouted, "Men! Capture every single member of the Six Clans. I want to interrogate them myself. Let's see who can remain stubborn then!"
If this old monster were to interrogate them himself, then wouldn't he be crippled if not dead? Worried about his precious son, Hei Yun immediately panicked and shouted, "Lie Huan, you can't be unreasonable! My son didn't go to your Skyfire Mountain!"
"Boom!" A wave of raging flames appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Lie Huan, instantly raising the surrounding temperature to a frightening level. A Golden Lotus of the First Grade appeared between Lie Huan's brows. He extended his arm and spread his claws, and the crowd immediately felt suffocated.
Hei Yun was instantly sucked towards Lie Huan as though he had been catapulted into the flames surrounding Lie Huan. Then, Lie Huan grabbed him by the neck.
"I'm being unreasonable. What are you going to do about it?" Amidst the flames, Lie Huan tightened his grip around Hei Yun's neck and said viciously, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're a member of the Six Sages. Your people have even destroyed my palace. Don't you think you've gone too far? Why would I need to reason with you?!"
Hei Yun was a Purple Lotus Third Grade cultivator, yet Lie Huan was able to grab him like he was taking something out of his own pocket. Now that he was in Lie Huan's grasp, he couldn't even move a muscle. Black smoke rose from his body within the flames, and his expression was one of agony and torment.
Lie Huan had always been the bane of Ghost cultivators. He had even exchanged blows with Ghost Sage Situ Xiao and managed to keep his life. How could Hei Yun possibly be a match for Lie Huan? He was truly unlucky to have fallen into Lie Huan's hands.
The might of the Nine Supreme Yao Kings of the Western Star Sea was on full display at this moment. Ji Meimei and the others were secretly shocked. They didn't expect Hei Yun to be unable to even retaliate against Lie Huan.
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie finally couldn't bear to watch any longer. He clasped his hands together and said, "I beseech the Supreme Yao King to be merciful. If there's anything you want to say, let's talk it out. We can always clear things up."
"It's not that Lie Huan doesn't want to give Grandmaster face. It's just that someone has stepped on Lie Huan's head. Lie Huan will not rest until he gets to the bottom of this. Lie Huan is well aware of Grandmaster's character. This matter definitely has nothing to do with Grandmaster. It's just that I didn't think things through and ended up alerting Grandmaster. Since you're already here, I'll have to trouble Grandmaster to go through the motions. Lie Huan will apologize to Grandmaster later! "Amidst the flames, Lie Huan nodded at Grandmaster Qi Jie in apology.
When he said this, Yun Guang and the others all looked at Grandmaster Qi Jie strangely. However, Grandmaster Qi Jie didn't know the reason behind this.
Lie Huan turned around, stared at Hei Yun, and sneered, "Since you're so wary of your son, it seems like this must be your son's doing. Men, go and chop off his son's head! "
When he said this, everyone had a bad feeling about this. Ji Meimei was even more flustered. They all knew that Hei Yun treated his son like a treasure. How could he possibly stand up to this old demon's trickery?
As expected! With a pained expression on his face, Hei Yun immediately widened his eyes and struggled to say, "I … know … who … did … this …"
This was exactly what Lie Huan wanted to hear. As if he was smashing a plate, he swung his arm and easily threw Hei Yun down the stairs.
Lie Huan retracted the flames on his body and shouted, "Speak!"
After rolling on the ground for a while, Hei Yun staggered to his feet. His body was still emitting black smoke as he touched his neck with a terrified expression. He coughed and said, "I'm not sure who did it. I can only confirm from the astrolabe that two groups of people went to Skyfire Mountain."
There were only six red dots on the astrolabe, so it was easy to identify them. On the other hand, there were tens of thousands of white dots all over the place. No one could tell who was who.
Lie Huan finally found a clue. He grinned and asked, "Which two groups of people?"
What else could Hei Yun say? He covered his neck with one hand and pointed at Ji Meimei with the other, then weakly pointed at Grandmaster Qi Jie. When he pointed at the latter, Hei Yun had an apologetic expression on his face, because it was all thanks to Grandmaster Qi Jie that his son was still alive.
Precisely because of this, Hei Yun refused to reveal Grandmaster Qi Jie's identity even after he fell into Lie Huan's hands. It was only when Lie Huan threatened him with his son's life that Hei Yun had no choice but to betray Grandmaster Qi Jie.
Grandmaster Qi Jie was taken aback. He abruptly turned to look at the two monks behind him, who lowered their heads.
Lie Huan was also taken aback. He didn't expect Grandmaster Qi Jie to be involved in this matter. However, after seeing Grandmaster Qi Jie's reaction, he was certain that Grandmaster Qi Jie didn't know about this matter due to his trustworthy character. Instead, he consoled, "Grandmaster, don't panic. We still haven't gotten to the bottom of this matter. It must be the work of the Yao Nation."
Ji Meimei immediately panicked and said, "Big Brother Lie, don't listen to Hei Yun's nonsense!"
Grandmaster Qi Jie, on the other hand, looked worried. He wasn't worried about Kong Zhi and the others. Instead, he was worried about his own disciple. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Ba Jie was. Could it really be Ba Jie's doing?
Since he was involved, he couldn't say anything else at the moment.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll know once we interrogate them!" Lie Huan shouted, "Men! Bring the people from those two families to me! "
