NOVEL NEXT Chapter 300: The Appearance of Emperor Yu
"In this Mo Lan Mansion, who else has this kind of power besides you?"
"Hmm...?"
"Go ahead and name someone, let me hear!"
King Gu Li shouted angrily.
He knew in his heart that Zongzheng wouldn't dare, but since this matter occurred in Mo Lan Mansion, even if it wasn't him, a resolution must be provided.
If he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't mind replacing the head of the Three Judicial Departments.
This is King Gu Li!
Domineering! Brazen!
"I... uh...!"
Zongzheng showed a face worse than crying, knowing well.
Even if he didn't commit the act, he had to provide a satisfying answer, or else his neck wouldn't be preserved.
"My brother, please don't come back!"
King Gu Li has arrived openly at Mo Lan Mansion; Elder Zhan couldn't possibly be unaware.
His elder brother, Zong Peng, would inevitably know too.
However, with King Gu Li's current attitude, not to mention his brother, even if Elder Zhan came, it might not help.
If he dies, so be it!
Though it's an injustice, there's no choice, because who is King Gu Li.
Moreover, one dying is better than two.
Upon understanding this, his fear diminished, and he spoke, "Please give me some time, Lord Gu Li! I will personally investigate, and once there's news, I shall report to you immediately!"
This was the only option!
If he remained unsatisfied, nothing could be done.
Let it fall apart.
"No need!"
King Gu Li rejected him outright.
"Then your intention is...?"
Seeing his somber face, Zongzheng felt a bad premonition.
"Wants to...?"
"Humph!"
King Gu Li snorted coldly, then closed his eyes and summoned spiritual energy, forming golden ropes in mid-air.
"Boom!"
A golden rope directly tore through the mansions.
"Ah... no..."
A startled cry!
A middle-aged man was instantly bound by the golden rope and brought before King Gu Li.
"Lord Zongzheng... save me!"
The Liu Family's Patriarch Liu Yuan, an Early-Stage Profound Realm expert, pleaded with Zongzheng.
Zongzheng opened his mouth... but closed it again.
At this moment... what could he say?
Would it help!
Didn't he see the murderous aura!
King Gu Li glanced coldly at him, and immediately, Liu Yuan shut his mouth, not daring to speak a word.
Golden ropes continuously returned with more captured Profound Realm experts.
However, these so-called experts... appeared pale and terrified before King Gu Li.
The commotion just now, they all knew.
But... it truly had nothing to do with them.
Even with the daring of the heavens, they wouldn't dare such actions.
King Gu Li scanned these people, and each one lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Instantly!
A tangible spiritual power emerged from King Gu Li and slithered like a spiritual snake above Liu Yuan's head.
"No... please... no..."
Liu Yuan panicked, pleading with King Gu Li.
"Lord Gu Li, sir, truly didn't commit, I beg of you, spare me!"
Every other person present trembled witnessing this scene.
Because... King Gu Li intended to use Soul Search!
Mind you, they were Profound Realm experts with impregnable consciousness seas.
Probing memories could lightly injure the consciousness sea, requiring decades of recovery, but that's the least of it, slightly more serious would leave one an idiot!
Most severe... immediate death.
"Open your consciousness sea, surviving depends on your fate."
King Gu Li's words were tyrannical.
To him, these were mere ants, indifferent to their lives.
He needed to find out who did it, World Spirits won't vanish without reason.
It surely was refined.
Thus... finding the World Spirit was crucial to see if there's any remedy.
This was his heartfelt effort.
He wouldn't abandon it.
So alive or dead, the refined must be found.
"Crack!"
King Gu Li's spiritual power forcibly entered Liu Yuan's consciousness sea.
"Ah..."
The violent intrusion was akin to smashing his mind open, the piercing pain unbearable even for a Profound Realm expert.
He let out heart-wrenching cries.
"No... Lord Gu Li, spare me..."
Liu Yuan's voice grew faint, in moments, his eyes became vacant, losing focus.
"Nothing!"
King Gu Li withdrew his spiritual power along with the binding spiritual energy.
The now idiotic Liu Yuan fell directly from mid-air.
"Bang!"
Landing heavily on the ground.
"Hehe..."
Liu Yuan lay flat, giggling foolishly.
A Profound Realm expert, Liu Family Patriarch, turned into a fool within moments.
A chilling sight.
Even Zongzheng was bewildered, this wasn't a common person, this was a Profound Realm expert!
"Will I end up like this too?"
Zongzheng's mind blank.
"No!"
Shaking his head vigorously, he'd choose death over becoming such an idiot.
He couldn't accept it!
Not only him, every Profound Realm expert present couldn't accept such a fate.
Immediately... their expressions changed.
No longer the same fear, perhaps personal dignity had overcome the fear.
