Chapter 300: The Appearance of Emperor Yu_3
This is also why even though Gu Li violated Great Yu's prohibition last time, Emperor Yu merely confined him.
"Return to the Imperial City, that's the end of this matter!"
Emperor Yu's voice was not loud, but it carried immense pressure, directly striking everyone's hearts.
However,
Even though Emperor Yu personally spoke, King Gu Li still felt unwilling in his heart, remaining silent and standing quietly there.
A long time passed!
"Alas!"
Emperor Yu sighed, looking at Gu Li, his eyes filled with deep disappointment.
"In ten years, I will personally help you! Return now!"
Faced with this meritorious official who had accomplished great feats for Great Yu, he found it hard to be harsh in his punishment.
Because Emperor Yu understood what all his actions were for.
For so many years, it had almost become an obsession.
"Your Majesty!"
Gu Li's pupils suddenly dilated, calling out loudly.
"This is the last time I will help you, you... make sure to take care!"
With those words, the golden figure gradually dispersed, once again transforming into a golden silk scroll, flying back into Zhan Tian's hand.
And the dazzling golden light in the sky vanished along with it.
At this moment, King Gu Li stood suspended mid-air, his expression extremely complex.
"Gu Li, do not disappoint His Majesty anymore."
Zhan Tian said faintly.
Although Gu Li had done great services for Great Yu, colossal services indeed, the things he had done over the years, if not for Emperor Yu personally protecting him, would have resulted in his death countless times over.
This couldn't help making him envious.
But... who told him to have sided with Emperor Yu from the start.
"Hmph!"
King Gu Li snorted coldly, glaring at him fiercely,
and cursed, "Mind your own business!"
Then he withdrew his Spiritual Power, transforming into a stream of light, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.
And those people who were trapped finally regained their freedom.
Having survived the catastrophe, they let out a long sigh of relief, finally recovering a hint of color in their faces.
They all bowed to Zhan Tian, "Thank you, Elder Zhan, for rescuing us!"
"Don't cause trouble for the Three Judicial Departments!"
Zhan Tian said lightly and then flew towards the Three Judicial Departments, with Zong Peng and Zongzheng following closely behind.
The people who narrowly escaped death wore bitter smiles.
Causing trouble?
There was none at all!
...
In the Three Judicial Departments.
Zhan Tian sat at the top.
Zong Peng and Zongzheng stood respectfully below.
"What exactly happened? That World Spirit has at least Mid-Stage Profound Realm strength, who in rMolan Mansion has such power?"
Zhan Tian spoke slowly, his gaze landing on Zongzheng.
"Elder Zhan, this really wasn't done by me!"
Zongzheng felt deeply wronged.
The strength of that World Spirit was definitely not weaker than his, even if he had the heart, he didn't have the strength.
"Nonsense, I know it wasn't you who did it!"
Elder Zhan widened his old eyes.
He knew Zongzheng's character well and knew that the World Spirit belonged to King Gu Li, who would never dare have such thoughts.
However... there was such a hidden master in rMolan Mansion, and he was completely unaware.
This was negligence of duty!
"Useless, stuck at Mid-Stage Profound Realm for so many years without any breakthrough. With such a master appearing in rMolan Mansion, not a single piece of news, I really want to give you a slap!"
The more Zhan Tian thought about it, the more furious he became, breaking into a tirade.
And Zongzheng being scolded didn't dare to answer back, could only lower his head.
Zong Peng glanced at his brother with the corner of his eye. Although Elder Zhan was in a rage, he couldn't help but stand up for his brother, after all, he only had this one sibling.
"Elder Zhan, rMolan Mansion is so large, such a master hiding within is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"Moreover, I suspect this person's strength is definitely much stronger than Zongzheng."
"Not being able to discover... is understandable!"
"Absolute nonsense!"
Zhan Tian scolded him as well, glaring fiercely at him.
Zong Peng wore a helpless expression, seeing that he was about to fly into a rage, dared not speak further.
"Alas!"
He sighed in his heart, the dignified head of the Great Yu Three Judicial Departments, yet just a hot-tempered old man. Guess if those outside knew, their eyeballs would drop to the ground.
"Damn it, this damn place rMolan Mansion, one incident after another, truly cursed."
The more Zhan Tian thought, the angrier he got.
Initially, it was the Ning Family involved in rMolan Mansion, with various Kings sending their people.
Even his Three Judicial Departments were mobilized.
Now...
The World Spirit that King Gu Li saved back in the day died in rMolan Mansion too.
If not for closely tracking his movements and timely seeking Emperor Yu, no telling how many would have died in rMolan Mansion.
Really uncanny!
"By the way, any news from the Ning Family?"
After all, with most of the time granted by the Imperial Family having passed, those back in the Imperial City were growing impatient.
He surmised it wouldn't be long before a large number of experts entered rMolan Mansion.
At that time... another troublesome matter.
"Uh..."
Zongzheng slightly raised his head, hesitating, but finally responded with trepidation, "Not yet, temporarily!"
"However... they couldn't find them either!"
He quickly added.
This wasn't solely his problem, after all, neither side could find them, couldn't blame just him, right?
Yet, upon hearing this, Zhan Tian didn't dwell on this point, instead murmured with great doubt.
"That can't be right, didn't the Southern King pay a huge price to invite that old man from Star Hall to deduce?"
"In rMolan Mansion, for sure!"
"That old fellow's Complete Heaven Trigram Skill can't possibly have problems!"
"Such a long time, how could there be no sign at all!"
Zong Peng and Zongzheng exchanged glances.
Now they finally understood why they were so certain the Ning Family must be in rMolan Mansion.
So it was deduced by him.
As Zhan Tian sat there, his brows tightly furrowed.
After a long time.
He shook his head, "Can't figure it out, can't figure it out, seems I must go see that old man!"
