When Shu Jianyue arrived at the canyon, the first thing she saw was the corpse of Overlord Taishan, surrounded by the corpses of various ferocious beasts.

But they didn't see Chongjiu and Fanyin, or even a single human being.

His eyebrows gradually rose. He hadn't expected that even after Chongyao Palace had screened everyone, there would still be traitors among them.

Shu Jianyue stood on the mountainside of Bawang Taishan and looked around. There was nothing but broken walls and ruins.

So, what are you trying to do by deceiving me into coming here?

Just as she thought of this, her mental power spotted the creature hiding below the canyon.

He raised an eyebrow. Surely this guy couldn't have done it; he knows how to bribe people, doesn't he?

Shu Jianyue flew over the canyon and looked brightly at the python hiding among the trees. "Come out, I see you."

The python looked around before looking up at Shu Jianyue.

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. This foolishness didn't seem like the kind of thing that would be used to win people over.

"Come here, let's have a chat."

The python tilted its head as it looked at her, clearly not recognizing her as the person it was meant to deal with.

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched again as she said, "If you're not coming out, then you can stay there. I'm leaving now."

The python's eyes lit up as it saw her, and it leaped out, charging straight at Shu Jianyue.

Shu Jianyue looked down at him, watching his eyes change from innocent to fierce, and he gathered a water sphere large enough to cover the canyon in his hand. She laughed and said, "Want to try the feeling of being hit by a water sphere?"

The python had never tried this before, so it charged forward without fear.

Seeing this, Shu Jianyue threw the water balloon in her hand down.

The python sent the water ball crashing directly into the mud in the canyon.

The water that Shu Jianyue had prepared earlier hadn't dried completely yet, and because of the ferocious beasts walking back and forth, it had turned the area into a muddy mess.

The python stirred things up inside and turned into a mud python.

"Roar..." The python roared, causing the ferocious beasts around it to fall to the ground.

Shu Jianyue used her spirit binding and spirit control techniques to bring him up, and looked at him, asking, "If you tell me who ordered you to kill me, I will release you and give you a drop of Earth Core Divine Liquid, how about it?"

The python was initially only somewhat agitated, but upon hearing about the Earth Core Divine Liquid in her mouth, it went completely berserk, roaring...

"Alright, I forgot again that I can't communicate with you." Shu Jianyue released the spirit binding and gathered another large water ball, which was obviously smaller than before.

The python stared at the water sphere, its eyes gleaming with even greater ferocity.

Shu Jianyue threw the water ball at him and then extended her mental energy in all directions to see if anyone was observing the area nearby.

The python swiftly dodged and charged towards Shu Jianyue, its tail lashing out at her.

Shu Jianyue stepped back to dodge, then condensed a large water ball and hurled it at him, simultaneously using her spirit-binding ability to immobilize him.

The python tried to dodge again, but found itself unable to move. It opened its mouth and spat out a thin bolt of lightning at the water sphere.

Shu Jianyue laughed at the sight. "Silly girl, doesn't she know water can conduct electricity?"

The python was naturally unaware of this until it was struck by its own lightning, turning into a figure eight, and then it realized it had been tricked.

The python fell back into the canyon.

Shu Jianyue also found the people who were secretly observing this place from a hundred miles away.

If he hadn't glanced in this direction every now and then, she would have really been fooled by him.

Shu Jianyue ignored the python and instead tore through space to walk towards that person.

She had seen this person once at the welcoming banquet, but never again. If she hadn't specifically noted down the people who had interacted with Wujie, she probably wouldn't have remembered him.

Shu Jianyue emerged from the void and appeared before that person.

She also sent a telepathic message to Chong Jiu, instructing him to subdue the person who had tricked her into coming out.

When the man saw Shu Jianyue, his eyes widened to their limit. "You, how did you get here?"

Shu Jianyue smiled slightly, "Why can't I be here?"

"What, you thought I died in the canyon?"

The man turned to run, but only after running did he realize he had run into the wrong place. As long as he denied it, she had no evidence to prove that he had done it.

But he had already started running, so how could he explain stopping? No matter how angry he was, he had to keep running.

Shu Jianyue didn't move at all; she simply raised her hand and flicked the Divine Whip to pull the person back.

The opponent was only at the third level of the True God Realm, which she could easily handle.

Seeing that he couldn't escape either, the man drew his sword and fought with her, each move fierce and aimed at Shu Jianyue's vital points.

Shu Jianyue didn't stand on ceremony with him. She wielded the Divine Whip with great force, and while he was sweating profusely and in a daze, she knocked the sword out of his hand and tied him up.

"Let's go back with me and have a proper talk."

"I have nothing to say to you. I just came out to gain some experience. Why are you arresting me?" the man retorted stubbornly.

Shu Jianyue picked him up and sneered, "Isn't it too late to say all this now?"

After saying that, he tore through the void and went inside.

The person she was carrying nearly popped their eyes out when they saw this.

Can anyone tell him what this thing is?

Shu Jianyue stepped out of the void and appeared in the square in front of Chongyao Palace. Many people were already standing in the square. Everyone had seen her walk out of the void and was quite surprised.

Upon seeing her, Chong Jiu immediately stepped in front of her. "Did something happen to you?"

Shu Jianyue tossed the person she was holding aside and said, "Nothing's wrong. Have you caught the person who tricked me out?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "I made the arrangements as soon as I received your message, but the person has disappeared."

Shu Jianyue looked at Rong Jin and said, "Pry open this person's mouth and see who else is behind him."

After speaking, he turned to look at the people in the square and said loudly, "Since the news of my ascension to the position of God Emperor was revealed, no one has objected. I thought that no one had any objections, but I did not expect that in just two days, some people would start to plot against me."

"What, do you all think I'm easy to bully, so you're all here to try and take advantage of me?"

No one in the square dared to say a word; they all stared at her.

Her move just now had already intimidated everyone in the square, including Fan Yin.

He now understood how she had gotten from Chongyao Palace to the canyon so quickly last time.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shu Jianyue continued, "Now I'm giving you a chance to voice your opinions. If you don't raise them now, and then come back to cause trouble when I ascend the throne, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After she finished speaking, there was complete silence below. No one spoke or shook their head.

Shu Jianyue looked around and nodded, saying, "Very well, since no one has spoken, then I will assume you have no objections. Just don't cause any more trouble for me later."

After saying that, he looked at Chong Jiu and said, "I will continue to use my mental power to find that person. You can continue."

Chong Jiu pulled her aside and said, "You stay here with us. Everyone was just talking about Lou Qiongshang."

"Him? What's wrong with him?" Shu Jianyue looked at everyone in confusion.
