"Take him down!"
Hearing Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's order, the guards who were trembling in fear suddenly turned into tigers and wolves, pouncing towards Ling Dong. Seeing this scene, Yue Yuan and Fairy Green Bamboo could not help but feel joy in their eyes. Yue Yuan even let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
"Bam, bam, bam, bam …" However, just as the guards pounced forward to capture Ling Dong, it was as if they had suddenly collided with an iron plate. They were knocked back one after another.
Just as Vermillion Bird Star Monarch gave the order, a red light shot out from the body of Ancestor Mother, covering Ling Dong's head.
"Chi Mei Er, this matter has yet to be clarified, so how can you punish him? Furthermore, this person is related to the whereabouts of Violet Flame, so we have to be careful. "That Ancestor Mother said.
Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's expression was as heavy as water. He only said with a heavy tone, "Ancestor Mother, this person dares to cause trouble in the harem. If this were to spread out, it would not look good, so …"
"Ai, Chi Mei Er, it has been so many years, yet your heart realm cultivation still hasn't broken through to the Minute Subtlety stage …" Ancestor Mother sighed softly, "You have only heard Yue Yuan and this Bamboo Demon's side of the story. How do you know if that Ling Dong was wrongly accused?"
"Bamboo Demon?" Hearing these two words, Ling Dong could not help but glance towards Green Bamboo. This action was discovered by Vermillion Bird Star Monarch on the spot, causing his brows to twitch violently. His expression sank once again.
"Ancestor Mother, this child …"
"Chi Mei Er, actually, I have already investigated this matter for a long time. I merely wanted to test your heart realm cultivation, so I did not expose it. It's just that I did not expect that your heart realm cultivation has remained stagnant for a thousand years. "Ancestor Mother sighed.
Hearing these words from Ancestor Mother, Yue Yuan and Green Bamboo paled at the same time. Cold sweat started forming on Yue Yuan's forehead.
"Chi Mei, listen to me carefully.
Firstly, this Ling Dong has gone through many layers of selections, especially the trial of the Sky Devil Region, before entering this group of 36 elites. If he could withstand the test of the Sky Devil Region, how could he not be able to restrain his desire and attack the bamboo demon on the spot?
Moreover, according to my knowledge, this Ling Dong is ranked at the 4th position in the Soul Battle, and it's obvious how firm his will is. How could he possibly be tempted by this tiny bamboo demon? In my opinion, even if this little bamboo demon were to use all her charming methods, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to make this Ling Dong go crazy and attack her on the streets, right? "
That Ancestor Mother nonchalantly explained, yet Ling Dong could hear a strand of depression in her voice. After blinking his eyes, Ling Dong understood. Actually, given the status of this Ancestor Mother, as long as he understood something, he would do it directly. There was no need for him to explain.
Now he had said all this nonsense just to calm his relationship with Planet Lord Suzaku and give Planet Lord Suzaku some face.
"This … is also true?" Hearing Ancestor Mother's analysis, Vermillion Bird Star Monarch pondered for a moment before nodding. At the moment when Vermillion Bird Star Monarch nodded, that bamboo demon, who was also Fairy Green Bamboo, started trembling like a bamboo leaf.
Even though Yue Yuan, who was waiting by the side, was not that unbearable, his pale old face and head full of cold sweat betrayed the fear in his heart.
"Furthermore, when this bamboo demon and Yue Yuan spoke to you previously, even though they were abnormally calm, under my perception, that strand of panic in their hearts could not escape my eyes. If you don't believe me, you can ask around!" Ancestor Mother said.
"Mn?" Hearing this, Vermillion Bird Star Monarch raised his brows. His eyes shot out a divine light that seemed to materialize, covering up that Fairy Green Bamboo, "Audacious bamboo demon, you actually dared to deceive this Star Monarch. What exactly is the matter? Why aren't you telling me the truth? Unless you want this Star Monarch to use that soul-searching technique?"
The roar was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears. A terrifying Heavenly Might covered everyone's heads at this moment. It felt as if the sky was collapsing. It was a terrifying feeling that came crashing down on their heads.
With several 'putong putong' sounds, these ten-odd guards including Yue Yuan and Fairy Green Bamboo all knelt on the ground. However, Ling Dong who was protected by the red light of Ancestor Mother did not feel anything. He only coldly stared at Yue Yuan and Fairy Green Bamboo.
The most poisonous thing was a woman's heart. If one said that Yue Yuan had a reason to deal with him, Ling Dong, then this Fairy Green Bamboo was putting in so much effort to frame him. Ling Dong could not understand because the risk of this matter was too big.
Fairy Green Bamboo who was suppressed by the soul of Vermillion Bird Star Monarch fell limply to the ground at this moment. She kowtowed as if she was pounding garlic. Her body trembled as she said, "Sir Star Monarch, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
"Speak!" As this word came out from the gaps of his teeth, a strand of anger appeared in the eyes of Star Monarch Vermillion Bird.
"Yes, this little demon has confessed! It was Yue Yuan, that bastard Yue Yuan. He brought half a tael of Seven Origin Earth Dust to me and asked this little demon to help him frame an enemy who was only at the third level of the Quasi Star realm. He gave me that half a tael of Seven Origin Earth Dust. And this little demon cultivates a wood-attribute cultivation technique. Earth can give birth to wood. That Seven Origin Earth Dust is very useful to this little demon's cultivation. This little demon was bewitched and agreed to Yue Yuan's request! "
At this point, this Fairy Green Bamboo kowtowed again. She cried out, "Sir Star Monarch, please spare my life, Sir Star Monarch, please …"
"Damn!"
As Star Monarch Vermillion Bird uttered these two words, Fairy Green Bamboo's begging stopped. The moment a black flame landed, the beautiful Fairy Green Bamboo turned into a pile of black ashes.
"Hiss …" Seeing this, Ling Dong couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Today, Ling Dong had seen the power of an expert. An expert at the peak of the Constellation Realm had been instantly turned into ashes by a strand of black flame?
Star Monarch Vermillion Bird coldly said, "Yue Yuan, what else do you have to say?" After killing one person on the spot, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird's anger seemed to have lessened a bit.
At this moment, Yue Yuan's face was pale and his body was limp. It was as if he had lost his backbone.
After hearing Star Monarch Vermillion Bird's question, he struggled to get up and said, "Answering Star Monarch Vermillion Bird, this subordinate and Ling Dong are mortal enemies. I made this mistake for revenge, and this subordinate has no regrets. I ask Star Monarch Vermillion Bird to punish me." After he finished speaking, Yue Yuan's head touched the ground and he knelt there for a long time.
Seeing Yue Yuan's honest appearance, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird frowned as if he was considering how to deal with Yue Yuan. And Ling Dong was startled when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but curse Yue Yuan's craftiness.
"Yue Yuan, on account of you hosting the elite battle, this seat will spare your life for now." Star Monarch Vermillion Bird had many misgivings about how to deal with Yue Yuan. After pondering for a few breaths, he said, "But you can avoid death, but you must be punished. After the elite battle, you will be sent to the Eroding Heart Hall to be punished for a year! "
Hearing this punishment, Yue Yuan's forehead was immediately covered in a layer of white sweat. Even though the Eroding Heart Hall was terrifying, he had managed to preserve his little life. It was already a great fortune amidst misfortune.
"This subordinate thanks Star Monarch Vermillion Bird for not killing me!" As he spoke, Yue Yuan kept kowtowing. At the moment his head touched the ground, he looked at Ling Dong from the corner of his eyes. His gaze was extremely sinister. Even Ling Dong, who was protected by the red light of the Ancestor Mother, felt his entire body turn cold.
Hearing this punishment, Ling Dong instinctively felt that it was inappropriate. Now that they had shed all pretense of cordiality, if he let Yue Yuan go, Ling Dong would not be able to sleep peacefully in the future. Who knew if this Yue Yuan would be vicious enough to harm his family? Yue Yuan was extremely clear about where Ling Dong came from.
"Reporting to Star Monarch Vermillion Bird, this little one has something to report!" Ling Dong considered the current situation. After weighing the pros and cons, he spoke resolutely.
"Oh?" Hearing Ling Dong's words, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird was extremely surprised. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Ancestor Mother before nodding, "Speak."
"Reporting to Star Monarch Vermillion Bird, this little one and this Yue Yuan do not have a feud. Our feud is because of the Connecting Heaven Palace in the Heavenly Dipper Continent!" Ling Dong said.
Indeed, as expected by Ling Dong, the moment he mentioned the Connecting Heaven Palace, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird looked at Ling Dong with surprise and said, "Continue!"
And this was exactly what Ling Dong wanted.
Following this, Ling Dong naturally spoke in detail about the feud between him and Yue Yuan in the Connecting Heaven Palace. Of course, he also mentioned how Yue Yuan had framed him several times since he participated in the Soul War.
However, this was not the main point Ling Dong wanted to express. In fact, the main point Ling Dong wanted to express was that he, Ling Dong, was the person who removed the Heavenly Punishment from the Heavenly Dipper Continent. Of course, this matter was only briefly mentioned by Ling Dong in his narration.
However, Ling Dong's sharp senses discovered that when he mentioned this matter, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird's eyebrows suddenly rose.
"Replying to Sir Star Monarch, this little one has finished speaking. This is all the grievances between this little one and Yue Yuan. It is not the feud that Yue Yuan mentioned!" Ling Dong said.
However, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird did not care about the grievances between Ling Dong and Yue Yuan. Instead, he asked, "Ling Dong, are you saying that you are the warrior who removed the Heavenly Punishment from the upper realm of the Heavenly Dipper Continent?"
"If placing the Star Reiki on the Heavenly Punishment Altar in the Connecting Heaven Palace is the one who broke the Heavenly Punishment from the upper realm, then this little one is!" Ling Dong's answer was somewhat ingenious.
"Oh, I ask Ancestor Mother to remove the profound light and let this child examine it!" Star Monarch Vermillion Bird suddenly said to the Ancestor Mother by his side.
As the Ancestor Mother responded, the profound light covering Ling Dong's body was removed. At the same time, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird flipped his palm and a red cloud flew above Ling Dong's head. In an instant, Ling Dong felt his body tremble as if something had been taken away.
In the eyes of others, a golden light was sucked into the red cloud. At the same time, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird's eyebrows relaxed. "That's right, Ling Dong, you are indeed the warrior who removed the Heavenly Punishment from the upper realm of the Heavenly Dipper Continent."
At this point, Star Monarch Vermillion Bird paused for a moment before continuing, "Ling Dong, you should know that this Star Monarch has already offered a reward. Whoever can remove the Heavenly Punishment from the upper realm will receive this Star Monarch's reward.
Ling Dong did not confirm or deny this question. He only replied, "I have occasionally heard rumors, but I don't know the details!"
"Now that you know, you can follow this Star Monarch to receive the reward for removing the Heavenly Punishment. This Star Monarch has fulfilled one of this Heart Monarch's wishes," Star Monarch Vermillion Bird said.
"Reporting to Sir Star Monarch, this lowly one is willing, but this lowly one has a presumptuous request. I wonder if Sir Star Monarch can agree?" This sentence was actually said by Ling Dong with the courage. When he said this, Ling Dong had a mentality of going all out.
In any case, Ling Dong was certain that the Ancestor Mother had been found and would protect him for a certain period of time. This was also the reason why Ling Dong was so bold today.
"Oh, speak?"
"Dare I ask Sir Star Monarch, is it possible to change the reward for removing the Heavenly Punishment from Sir Star Monarch to something else?" Ling Dong boldly asked.
"Change it to something else? What is it? Ling Dong, do you know what kind of treasure this seat has prepared for the reward? "Star Monarch Vermillion Bird suddenly asked with interest.
"Reporting to Sir Star Monarch, change it to Yue Yuan's head!"
The moment Ling Dong said this, not only was everyone shocked, even Yue Yuan's eyes widened. He stared at Ling Dong with extreme fear. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
