"Hmm?"
King Gu Li let out a sound of puzzlement.
Then he sneered, "It seems none of you fear death? Thatâs fine, itâll give my ears some peace!"
"King Gu Li jests; who doesnât fear death?"
Zongzheng slowly spoke up.
He is the head of the Three Judicial Departments. If the family members in the Early-Stage Profound Realm arenât afraid, why should he be?
Otherwise, wouldnât he be ridiculed by these people!
"Itâs just that Your Majesty is too strong. We just want to die with some dignity!"
After saying this, Zongzheng laughed.
He felt much relieved in his heart.
Since King Gu Li arrived at rMolan Mansion, although the time was short, it was the most humiliating moment of his life.
Stooping low, he acted like a grandson, but now it seems all in vain. King Gu Li wouldnât spare him.
A soul search would still be a soul search.
If thatâs the case, why not retain a little dignity for oneself.
"Makes sense, then... itâs your turn next!"
Saying this, spiritual power instantly reached above Zongzhengâs head, and King Gu Li looked at him coldly.
Yet, Zongzheng remained calm, even composed, showing no trace of fear.
This greatly displeased King Gu Li.
"Hmph!"
In the next moment, the spiritual power transformed into a Spiritual Snake, drilling in from above Zongzhengâs head.
In the distance, Chen Xuan watched this scene in shock.
A master of the Profound Realm became an idiot in an instant.
Now it was Zongzhengâs turn, a master in the Mid-Stage Profound Realm.
Though it wasnât him, his heart was filled with bitterness.
The Supreme Domainâs cruelty far exceeded that of the Human Realm.
What does being in the Profound Realm matter, in the face of absolute power, oneâs life is as insignificant as grass.
The Spiritual Snake opened its mouth, having already migrated into Zongzhengâs hair bun.
At this moment, Zongzheng remained with his eyes closed, waiting!
Waiting for the moment King Gu Liâs spiritual power entered his sea of consciousness, to immediately collapse it.
Even if it were King Gu Li!
Yet he controls his own sea of consciousness.
No one could invade!
"Enough! Gu Li!"
At this moment, an ancient voice came from the void.
Thereupon, space began to tremble.
"Elder Zhan!"
Zongzheng suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly.
At the same time, his expression became excited.
King Gu Li frowned, looking into the distance, surprised that this old immortal had arrived.
In the blink of an eye, two figures appeared in the sight of the crowd.
Zong Peng, and an old man with a head full of white hair, exactly Elder Zhan in Zongzhengâs mouth.
"Gu Li, this ends now!"
Elder Zhan confronted him, their eyes locking.
Meanwhile, Zong Peng moved to Zongzhengâs side, nodding slightly to him without speaking.
At this moment, Zongzheng truly wanted to cry!
Feeling his whole body soften.
To live!
Who truly wants death!
Not just him, everyone still bound by King Gu Li felt the same.
Elder Zhan of the Three Judicial Departments had arrived.
If even this does not save them, it truly must be fate that theyâve met this tribulation.
"Zhan Tian... do you want to start a war with me?"
King Gu Li asked grimly, his voice lowered.
Even with Zhan Tian himself here, it wonât change things.
He must perform a soul search on these people, the World Spirit must be found.
He would show no consideration to anyone!
"Gu Li, you defied Emperor Yuâs command and left the Imperial City without permission, thatâs a grave crime already. Now, killing these innocent masters of the Profound Realm, do you intend... to rebel?"
In the face of an enraged Gu Li, Zhan Tian didnât back down in the slightest.
The two were mere steps apart, their gazes locked!
Even without releasing any aura, the presence of these two Great Yuâs top elites brought immense pressure upon everyone present.
"Return to the Imperial City! This matter ends here!"
Zhan Tian ordered forcefully.
"What if I refuse?"
Gu Li squinted his eyes, staring intently, in this moment wanting to shred this troublesome old man to pieces. If it werenât for his meddling, he would have completed the soul search on these people by now.
Now... they wanted him to return just like that.
At this moment, his killing intent could no longer be contained, the overwhelming murderous intent rendered everyone but Zhan Tian dazed.
Images of countless blades and swords, rivers of blood, surged in their minds.
"No... no... donât!"
A few of the weaker Profound Realm practitioners even cried out in horror.
"Enough!"
Zhan Tian shouted in rage.
"Boom!"
Directly dispersing King Gu Liâs murderous aura.
At the same time, a golden parchment appeared in his hand, his expression turning solemn, "Gu Li, by Emperor Yuâs decree, return to the Imperial City immediately, no delays allowed!"
In an instant!
The golden parchment exploded with a dazzling golden light.
Then it floated slowly into the air, transforming into a golden silhouette.
The moment the figure appeared, golden light filled the sky!
The spiritual energy in the world became lively, surging towards the golden silhouette.
But it stopped a step away.
"Is this... Emperor Yu?"
In the distance, Chen Xuan watched the golden figure, and even as a Late-Stage Profound Realm practitioner, he couldnât help but feel the urge to kneel and submit.
The spiritual energy surrounding the golden figure at the boundary seemed to be worshipping.
The golden figure made a gesture, and the spiritual power dissipated gradually.
Then it looked towards King Gu Li.
"Gu Li!"
Instantly, an unparalleled imperial pressure descended upon Gu Li from above.
Despite his arrogance, Gu Li lowered his head slightly at this moment, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Gu Li held profound respect for Emperor Yu.
Without him, the Eastern Continent would not have enjoyed such long years of stability.
Moreover, their relationship was extraordinary.
Gu Li had even helped Emperor Yu greatly before he reached his peak.
