Wu Jie narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the approaching entourage. Ban Heng had been gone for so long and had not returned.

The messages from his followers were all correct, but he still felt something was wrong.

Because the biggest problem is the absence of problems.

Chong Jiu has already returned to the Upper God Realm, yet he actually let Ban Heng, this traitor, go!

He didn't even need to think much about it to realize there was something wrong.

As Wujie pondered this, his composure loosened considerably, and he couldn't help but reveal a somewhat ferocious expression.

This startled everyone who saw him. Even though he quickly regained his composure and composed himself, they still remembered his ferocious expression.

Bai Jue waved to stop Wujie when he was only about a meter away from him, and looked at Wujie with a smile: "God Emperor, are you here to welcome Madam back to Chongyao Palace?"

Wu Jie looked at the ceremonial carriage behind him where Shu Jianyue was sitting and laughed, "This emperor naturally had to come and see what kind of person this lady who could bear children for Ajiu is."

Chong Jiu stepped into the ceremonial carriage and looked at Wu Jie coldly, saying, "You'd better show some respect. She is my wife and the mistress of Chongyao Palace."

"My wife is not someone anyone can just see whenever they want."

Wujie looked at Chongjiu and remained silent for a while before smiling and saying, "I only wanted to meet Chongjiu's wife. How could Chongjiu have misunderstood?"

Chong Jiu looked at him coldly, "If you want to see her, you can see her tomorrow at Xichen. The God Emperor came here today to say these things. Is he looking down on my wife?"

"In that case, there's no need to attend the welcome-home banquet tomorrow."

Upon hearing Chong Jiu's words, Wu Jie's expression immediately changed.

Preventing him from attending the welcoming banquet is like slapping his face on the ground, and crushing it hard.

With so many people watching, how dare he say such a thing?

"Chong Jiu, I am a God Emperor. Aren't you showing me too little respect?" Wu Jie said coldly.

Chong Jiu sneered, "So what if you are a God Emperor? Anyone who disrespects my wife will be treated the same." He then looked around.

Those deities who had come just to watch the spectacle all turned their gazes away.

They were all thinking the same thing as the God Emperor: to see who this person was who had won the favor of the God of Jiuze.

None of them thought that a woman from the lower realms was worthy of the God of Jiuze.

Since that's how they feel, they naturally won't have much respect for them.

The high regard the Temple of Jiuze had for her changed some of their thoughts, but only slightly.

Chongjiu looked around again before returning to the ceremonial carriage.

Seeing that Wujie was still standing there, Bai Jue asked with a smile, "Does the God Emperor have anything else to say?"

Wu Jie's gaze was like a knife stabbing at Bai Jue, but it didn't cause him any harm. Bai Jue just smiled and looked at him directly, and then made a gesture to ask him to move aside.

Wujie vanished instantly. His face was practically being stomped on by Chongjiu. Why would he stay there? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Shu Jianyue frowned as she looked at the spot where the God Emperor had disappeared and asked, "How did he become the God Emperor?"

He lacked even a trace of the majesty a God Emperor should possess.

Chong Jiu pursed his lips and said, "Father just picked it randomly; he was lucky."

He was present when Dian Wujie became the God Emperor and saw how casual his father was.

After deciding on a few suitable candidates, write them down on paper, then crumple them into balls and draw lots.

Shu Jianyue looked at him in surprise, "Choosing a God Emperor is so casual?"

"Hmm, we can't be so careless next time." Just look at Wujie to see what the consequences of being careless are.

Wujie returned to the imperial palace and smashed a lot of things in a fit of rage.

"Go, tell Ban Heng to come back as soon as possible. If we can't find Duan Lanqiu, we'll stop looking. I will send someone else to look for him. He needs to come back to me first."

"Yes." The person guarding outside the hall responded and left, a look of relief on his face as he went. He even patted the person opposite him on the shoulder with considerable sympathy to comfort him.

Wujie's expression grew increasingly sinister, and his right arm, which he could no longer control, actually fell to the ground.

Wujie watched coldly, then with a wave of his left hand, the hard-won arm instantly turned into a cloud of gray mist and dissipated into the air.

"Go and find me another right arm."

The other person outside stiffened, his lips trembling slightly as he said, "God Emperor, the arms of the two we captured are yours."

"Then go and catch them again. I must see them before the dust-washing banquet at Chongyao Palace begins tomorrow." Wujie knew that using the arms of those evil cultivators would be useless, but all the gods were with Fanyin, so he couldn't use them even if he wanted to.

Fan Yin didn't know what was going on either, but all those deities had gathered around him, and he couldn't find out the reason even though he wanted to.

He once suspected that he might have known about the problem with his arm, which was why he had gathered all the gods away.

I should try to find out sometime.

With Ban Heng and Duan Lanqiu gone, he had no one left to turn to.

The man outside frowned deeply. "Yes..."

It seemed there was nothing he could do but agree, but where could he possibly find a solution?

Finding those two people is incredibly difficult. Evil cultivators in the Upper God Realm are extremely rare, and even if they exist, they are very well hidden, making them difficult to find.

Not far from the imperial palace, they saw a person who looked like a heretical cultivator walk by, and the person immediately followed him.

They followed him all the way into the mountains, rolled their eyes, and collapsed.

After he collapsed, Fan Shunlai emerged from behind a boulder, went over to confirm that he had fainted, and then weakly asked the person behind him, "Is this alright?"

Fan Yin appeared not far away and nodded, saying, "That's enough. Take him and come with me."

Fan Shun looked at the person on the ground and could only lift him up with great effort.

“I was wondering why Chong Jiu was keeping you around, but now I realize he was right!” Fan Yin said, clicking her tongue twice.

Fan Shunlai shrank back timidly, not daring to say a word.

He wouldn't dare to breathe if he didn't need to stay alive.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Chong Jiu to claim credit. Maybe we can even get some benefits." Fan Yin said, then grabbed him and disappeared from the spot.

No sooner had they left than a person completely shrouded in black robes appeared there, looking around and muttering something to himself.

He circled around in place for a while before turning and leaving.
