After the battle, all the elders were arranged to recuperate. This was the first time in a hundred years that so many elders of the Gu Juan Holy Land had been injured, but Shao Qingde naturally wouldn't publicize this matter. The elders who were injured by Lu An wouldn't speak of today's matter. They couldn't afford to lose so many people to one person.
As for Lu An, Shao Qingde didn't let him out of his control and took him to a palace. There were many door frames in this palace with a variety of names written on them. Lu An knew that this should be the Holy Land's palace that was specially used for teleportation. Shao Qingde and Lu An walked in one after another, passing by door frames one after another. They didn't stop for a rest.
In this way, the two walked to the end before stopping, but there was no door frame in front of them, which made Lu An a little puzzled.
However, the absence of a door frame didn't mean that there was no teleportation array. Shao Qingde waved his hand and a teleportation array appeared in front of the two. Lu An was startled. This teleportation array had a lot of energy, similar to the one set up by Yang Meiren. In other words, this teleportation array was set up by a Rank 7 Heavenly Master.
"Go in." Shao Qingde turned and looked at Lu An behind him and said.
Lu An's body trembled slightly as he glanced at Shao Qingde. He knew that he couldn't escape, so he didn't say anything and walked inside.
After entering the teleportation array, an uncontrollable force came over him. After a few breaths, Lu An jumped out of the teleportation array and landed firmly on the ground.
Lu An got up and looked around, frowning slightly.
This was a very dark space. He couldn't see anything at all, not even a bit of light. But even so, Lu An, who opened the Scorching Nine Suns, could perceive everything around him. The ground was about ten feet in length and width and eight feet in height. It was empty. There was no one except him.
Then, Shao Qingde also came into this space. He flicked his finger and a flame suddenly rose between him, illuminating the surrounding space.
"This is the most secure prison in the Gu Juan Holy Land." Shao Qingde floated next to the teleportation array and said lightly, "You are now in the middle of a mountain. Don't be fooled by the fact that you are surrounded by stone walls. The hardness of these walls is far beyond your imagination. Taking a step back, even if you have the means to break these stone walls, believe me, these stone walls can repair themselves much faster than you can destroy them. "
Hearing this, Lu An frowned and asked, "This place can absorb the Heaven's Origin Energy from the outside world?"
"That's right." Shao Qingde nodded. Hearing Lu An's quick reaction, he spoke up, "Just like me, I advise you not to waste your energy. If you have time, think about whether you want to join our Gu Juan Sacred Grounds. As long as you wholeheartedly join my Holy Land, I will do my best to nurture you, and even the position of Sect Master will be yours in the future. "
Hearing this, Lu An frowned even more and said, "Is this a forced sale?"
"This is considered a negotiation." Shao Qingde shook his head and said, "The deadline is when I finish investigating everything. If you still don't agree by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After speaking, Shao Qingde did not say another word. He turned and entered the teleportation array. Following which, the array closed and the entire space fell into darkness once again.
After Shao Qingde left, Lu An did not immediately take action. Instead, he waited for a while before releasing the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame to illuminate the surroundings. He tried to place the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame on a stone wall. Sure enough, the stone wall burned fiercely. However, the burning speed was not fast. It was unrealistic to use this flame to burn through a mountain. Moreover, Lu An did not know how thick this mountain was.
However, what made Lu An happy was that as long as the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame burned, all life in the place where it burned would be destroyed. These stones could not be repaired. However, when the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame disappeared, these stones would repair themselves. Moreover, they would be completely restored very quickly.
The recovery speed was indeed faster than the burning speed. This made Lu An frown.
However, Lu An thought of another way. He would first burn a tunnel with all his might. When he was about to run out of energy, he would wait at the end of the tunnel to recover his strength. Once he recovered his strength, he would then burn his way forward. Although advancing bit by bit like this was a little slow, he would eventually burn a hole through the mountain and successfully escape.
However, when Lu An entered the deep hole for the first time to rest, this plan was completely rejected. The reason was simple. The pressure of the stone wall was too great. He needed to keep adding flames. Once he relaxed, the stone wall would crush him to death. In other words, he would never be able to rest.
Helpless, he could only return to the prison. After resting, he tried to catch the dragon and even the Scorching Nine Suns. However, after a whole day, he still did not succeed. He could only give up. It seemed that he could only wait here for Shao Qingde to find him. Fortunately, he had enough water and dry food in his ring. He was not afraid that he would starve to death.
Also, he had stayed in the middle stage of Level 5 for more than four months. He had accumulated enough Fate Wheels to break through to the later stage of Level 5. At most, he had one more week. He might as well raise his level first and think about other things later.
If Shao Qingde really wanted to kill him, he could only use someone else's name to intimidate him. Otherwise, he could temporarily join the Sacred Ground of Gu Juan.
Since he had made up his mind, Lu An did not think about anything else and focused on cultivation. He used the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame to illuminate the prison in the Deep Ice. He then sat in the middle of the prison with his legs crossed.
This cultivation lasted for a total of seven days.
During these seven days, Shao Qingde did not go back on his words. He left the Sacred Ground to investigate the truth of Lu An's words. If what Lu An said was true, it wouldn't be difficult to find out the truth of this matter. The first thing to check was that Lu An said that Liu Jiuyang was chased by people from his country on his way back to his country. If this was true, someone must be involved and still alive in the world.
Shao Qingde went straight to the border garrison, sneaked into the barracks at night, and asked someone alone. He did not explain his identity, but under the threat of death, many Celestial Masters confessed.
A person could lie and fabricate, but when so many people told the same fact, and even the details were exactly the same, it was not a fabrication at all, but the truth. Shao Qingde was shocked when he heard it, so he killed all these Celestial Masters. Next, he went straight to the palace and caught Liu Jiuguang's confidant.
This confidant was also a person who was afraid of death. He had also seen Shao Qingde. Under the deterrence of the Level 6 Celestial Master of the Sacred Ground, he told everything, including how he murdered the former king, how he killed Liu Jiuyang, and even how Fang Yan colluded with Liu Jiuyang.
Anyone in the Sacred Ground was never allowed to participate in the politics of the country, especially the succession of the royal family. This was a common rule in all countries. When Shao Qingde heard that Fang Yan had done so many things over the years, he was so angry that he was trembling. He was so heartless, just for the benefit of one family. He wanted to find Fang Yan and kill him immediately!
In fact, if it weren't for the talent of Lu An, and to draw him into the Gu Juan Sacred Ground, Shao Qingde still wouldn't investigate these things. Although he wouldn't care about the change of the royal family, if someone murdered the former king, he must take care of this matter, even if this person was the current king!
As a result, Shao Qingde went completely berserk. The next day, he appeared in the palace in front of everyone and called Liu Jiuguang, Fang Yan, and the most important officials into the hall. Seeing Shao Qingde suddenly appear, everyone's heart tightened. No one dared to provoke the power of a Level 6 Celestial Master, even Liu Jiuguang. After all, without this person, Gu Juan Guo would be destroyed in an instant.
However, when everyone found the strong anger on Shao Qingde's face, their hearts trembled. The same was true for Liu Jiuguang and Fang Yan. Liu Jiuguang quickly smiled and said, "Why did the sect master have time to come to the palace? Why didn't you tell me in advance, so that I could prepare."
On the side, Fang Yan also quickly said, "Yeah, why didn't the sect master tell me?"
"Tell you, so that you can work together to deceive me?" Shao Qingde's face was full of anger, and he suddenly shouted, "I'll give you two one last chance. Say it! How did the former king die! "
As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the people in the hall changed! Everyone immediately bowed their heads and dared not say a word. Liu Jiuguang and Fang Yan's faces immediately turned pale, and even their legs were weak. But at this time, it was impossible for them to admit it. Once they admitted it, it would be a death sentence. Even if they had to grit their teeth, they had to hold on!
"What does the sect master mean?" Seeing Liu Jiuguang dumbfounded, Fang Yan cursed in his heart and quickly said, "The former king died because of illness. This is something that everyone knows!"
Liu Jiuguang's body trembled when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Yes, we found all the doctors to save him, but they couldn't save the former king's life!"
Shao Qingde's face became even more livid when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "What about Liu Jiuyang?"
"Liu Jiuyang?" Liu Jiuguang's body trembled again, and he quickly said with a trembling voice, "He … he wanted to assassinate me, so I executed him!"
Shao Qingde turned a deaf ear, and immediately turned to look at Fang Yan, and said gloomily, "Fang Yan, I'll give you one last chance. The night before Liu Jiuyang died, did you see him and take him away?!"
Fang Yan's body trembled when he heard this, and his heart was completely panicked. He quickly said, "I didn't, sect master! Did you listen to the nonsense? It was all framed by others. We didn't do anything! "
"Didn't do anything?" Fang Yan clenched his fists, and the entire hall and the entire palace shook because of his anger! Everyone looked at this scene and was so scared that they quickly knelt down, including the Taoist master!
Shao Qingde suddenly looked up at the officials behind him and shouted, "You can't escape responsibility, but this matter will be settled slowly later. Now listen to my order, put Liu Jiuguang and Fang Yan in prison! "
Liu Jiuguang and Fang Yan were shocked when they heard this, and immediately knelt down to beg Shao Qingde for mercy. They no longer looked like kings and deputy sect master. Especially when he looked at Fang Yan, Shao Qingde was furious. His figure flickered, and he instantly came in front of Fang Yan and slammed his palm on his Dantian!
Bang!
His Dantian was shattered, and his cultivation was gone!
