Xue Hanyi frowned, "It's already late at night, the Territory Master has already gone to bed, we should not disturb him from getting a good rest."
"No, no, no," Ye Chengren said mysteriously, "I think the Territory Lord should be happy to be disturbed by us. What's the matter, Dean Xue, you don't dare to go?"
Xue Hanyi: “…”
What on earth is Ye Chengren up to?
Knowing it was a provocation, but unable to bear Ye Chengren's underestimation of him, Xue Hanyi decisively agreed: "Let's go! Who's afraid of who? I believe the Territory Lord will handle this matter fairly!"
"Very good," Ye Chengren nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's go together!"
Xue Hanyi waved his sleeves and snorted coldly, "This dean still doesn't believe that the Territory Lord would blatantly favor Jiang Deng!"
So, after the two of them made the decision, except for the disciples of Yaoguang Peak, everyone else followed Ye Chengren and Xue Hanyi and set off.
Jiang Deng, who was caught in the crowd and had to follow them, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
She had originally planned to rest for two days and meet Chengfeng again when she used the teleportation array, but who knew that things would turn out like this...
——
As the lord of the ancient spiritual realm, Baili Chengfeng lives in the northernmost part of the ancient spiritual realm, where there is only an endless stretch of snow-capped mountains.
In the center of the snow-capped mountains stands a palace made of ice and snow.
"Phew! It's a bit cold in here."
Even though he was already a physical cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Jiang Deng still couldn't help feeling a chill.
Looking back, everyone present, except Ye Chengren and Xue Hanyi, had either used talismans or magic to wrap themselves up tightly, yet they were still shivering from the cold.
Jiang Deng: “…”
It seems that the physical fitness of physical cultivators is indeed much better than that of other cultivators.
Ye Su exhaled a puff of mist and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a Domain Lord, he actually lives here. He must be in good health to be able to withstand such a cold environment, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Deng's mouth twitched.
Sorry, among all the people she had ever met, the one with the worst health was Baili Chengfeng.
So, why does Chengfeng live here if he is in such poor health?
Jiang Deng couldn't help but look at this place a few more times, and felt more and more familiar. Isn't this the scene she saw in the Demon Ruins?
It seems that the savior fought a great battle with the demon here, and the Lord God died here in the end...
The ancient spiritual realm is so vast, Chengfeng could live anywhere else, why does he live on the grave of the God?
With doubts, Jiang Deng followed Ye Chengren and others to this palace made of ice and snow.
The palace gates were closed. These two gates were also carved from transparent ice crystals, and they emitted a soft glow under the moonlight.
"The owner of the Seven Star Villa and the dean of the Wanli Academy request to see the Territory Lord. Please ask the Territory Lord to uphold justice for us!"
Ye Chengren and Xue Hanyi faced the palace gate, bowed and nodded, and spoke in unison.
"……not see."
Soon, Baili Chengfeng's unpleasant voice came from inside the door.
Hearing this, Ye Chengren and Xue Hanyi looked at each other. Why did they feel that the Domain Lord seemed to be in a bad mood?
Baili Chengfeng was indeed not in a good mood. Ever since he received the news that Jiang Deng was coming to visit the Ancient Spirit Realm, he had no time to recuperate and had been waiting for Jiang Deng's reply.
Judging from the time, Jiang Deng should be here too, right?
But Baili Chengfeng never received any news from Jiang Deng. He was extremely conflicted about whether he should take the initiative to ask Jiang Deng, but he was also afraid that Jiang Deng would find him annoying, so he was torn between his conscience and his desires.
Now, how could he have the leisure to deal with the mess at Qixing Villa and Wanli Academy?
Ye Chengren's voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, was filled with deep conviction. "Lord, if you don't see us, you will definitely regret it."
"No, absolutely not."
Baili Chengfeng said with a solemn vow.
The conflict between Qixing Villa and Wanli Academy has been going on for a long time, and there has hardly been a single day of peace.
When he first became the domain lord, he didn't understand this point. He always foolishly went to mediate conflicts between Qixing Villa and Wanli Academy. As a result, he would mediate the conflict one day, but the next day, the conflict would break out again, and they would clamor for him to make the decision.
Later he learned his lesson and simply used the excuse of seclusion to avoid seeing anyone.
Who would have thought that after so many years, Ye Chengren and Xue Hanyi would do this again?
Does he look like someone who would be so easily fooled?
Inside the palace, Baili Chengfeng, who was still soaking in the Chaos Spring, looked serious.
It would be fine at other times, but now is the critical moment when we are waiting for news from Jiang Deng. We absolutely cannot waste time on such trivial matters.
"well!"
Outside the palace, Ye Chengren sighed and said to himself, "Since the Territory Lord won't help us get justice, it seems we can only return home. I apologize to Fellow Daoist Jiang Deng, but it seems that this manor master must deal with you impartially. Don't worry, according to the rules of the Seven Star Villa, you killed Xue Hong, but you only need to compensate him with one life."
“…”
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched.
What do you mean by "but, just one life is enough"?
She only has one life. How can she live if she loses it?!
"Humph, Jiang Deng, you have come to this day."
After hearing Ye Chengren's words, Xue Chongwen couldn't help but reveal a smug expression, as if he was sure of victory. "This time, you absolutely can't escape! I will definitely take your head and sacrifice it to my son!"
Shi Chen on the side hurriedly said: "All of this happened because of me. Don't kill Jiang Deng, kill me instead!"
"Humph, your words don't count."
Xue Chongwen looked at Jiang Deng with murderous eyes. Today he mainly wanted to use the hands of others to kill Jiang Deng. As for Shi Chen?
She's just a female cultivator with no background, and he can deal with her himself later!
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Baili Chengfeng's voice came hurriedly from the hall, and he called out to everyone who was about to leave.
Accompanied by a chaotic tinkling sound, the tightly closed palace door suddenly opened from the inside.
Everyone looked up and saw Baili Chengfeng sitting upright on a high seat made of ice and snow. His moon-white robe was slightly disheveled, with a few water stains on the corners, as if he had just put it on.
However, Baili Chengfeng's expression couldn't be more solemn and serious. He said solemnly, "Please come in. As a member of the Domain Cult, I have no choice but to uphold justice for you."
Everyone: “…”
You clearly didn't say that just now!
Ye Chengren chuckled secretly.
Things turned out just as she expected. As long as Jiang Deng was brought in, the Territory Master would do anything he was unwilling to do...
Xue Hanyi lightly kicked Xue Chongwen and reminded him, "Why don't you tell me the whole story?"
Xue Chongwen immediately threw himself to the ground, crying and saying, "Lord, you must make the decision for me!"
Xue Chongwen pointed at Jiang Deng who was standing beside him and said, "That's her! She barged into my Yaoguang Peak without asking any questions, killed my only son, and is now trying to kill me!"
Baili Chengfeng looked in the direction of Xue Chongwen's finger. When his gaze fell on Jiang Deng, his tone softened slightly as he asked, "Is that so?"
