It was as if the one standing there was a true human emperor.
And he was none other than Ji Qing, the emperor of the Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty!
The large study was quiet.
Suddenly!
A ripple suddenly appeared in the space behind Ji Qing, like water rippling.
The next second.
A ghostly figure appeared out of thin air.
He was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with a qilin design, a brocade spring knife at his waist, and a cold expression.
The moment it appeared.
The man immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his head respectfully.
"His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qing slowly turned around...
His wise and powerful face was marked by the passage of time, with graying temples and piercing eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows, which seemed to see right through people's hearts.
His demeanor was magnificent, as if a god had descended to earth.
He glanced at the man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "You, Ji Lie, wouldn't come here without a reason. Speak, what happened!"
"Your Majesty, the Black and White Duo of the Hall of Worship who were protecting the Second Prince Ji Haoyue have perished, including the twenty Supreme Realm Embroidered Robe Envoys and twelve Quasi-Supreme Realm Martial Maids who accompanied the Second Prince to Xiyue Cave to welcome his bride."
"His Highness the Second Prince is missing."
"......."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qing remained calm and composed.
He didn't speak immediately, but instead walked step by step to the head seat with his hands behind his back and sat down.
Just now, I saw him ask, "Is Ji Haoyue dead?"
Ji Lie stood up, bowed, and walked over, saying, "The Second Prince's soul tablet is not broken, so he should still be alive."
Ji Qing stroked the crystal-clear jade thumb ring on his thumb.
There was no indication of any emotional fluctuation in him; it was as if he had learned something completely ordinary.
He asked again in a calm tone, "Who did it?"
"Gu Xuan from Medicine King Valley!"
"The reason was that the Second Prince's bride, the Holy Maiden of Xiyue Cave, switched to another sect, and Gu Xuan, as her master, came to help Liu Ruyan break off the engagement."
"A great battle broke out between the two sides. Gu Xuan's strength was terrifying. He killed two Quasi-Emperor Realm Elders with one hand, and the Old Ancestor of Xiyue Cave was killed by him in one breath."
"The entire Xiyue Cave Heaven sect was wiped out, and the sect's territory was reduced to ruins."
Upon hearing this...
A slight change finally appeared on Ji Qing's face.
He slowly sat up straight, his tone authoritative yet not angry, and said, "To be able to do these things, one must be a great emperor."
"But no matter who he is, this act insults the prestige of our Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty. If we don't kill this person, where will the prestige of our Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty come from in the future? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry will come and trample on him."
"Investigate for me. Once you find this person's location, I will have the Great Emperor of the Ancestral Lands take action."
"Your Majesty, I have found out that Gu Xuan of Medicine King Valley is from the Yunxiao Sect of the Great Wilderness Region, and Gu Xuan is the master of Medicine King Valley."
"Huh? What did you say?!"
A hint of surprise appeared in Ji Qing's eyes; he thought he hadn't heard clearly.
How could a great emperor emerge from the bottom of the four lower realms?
That place is a sacred land with scarce spiritual energy, undetected by the Heavenly Dao.
Due to incomplete rules.
In the Great Wilderness Domain, it is impossible for the strongest emperor to ever emerge.
"Your Majesty, Gu Xuan is the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley of the Cloud Soaring Sect in the Great Wilderness Domain," Ji Lie had to repeat.
"........"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qing frowned and fell into an incredulous silence.
A moment later.
He looked intently at Ji Lie and asked, "Ji Lie, are you sure the news is true?"
"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my own head that this is absolutely true." Ji Lie knelt down with a thud, his voice firm and resolute.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Ji Qing stood up, his brain feeling completely fried.
He couldn't understand how a Great Emperor could appear in the Great Wilderness, where the rules were incomplete.
The strongest Great Emperor must condense the power of nine rules into one body; lacking even one rule will prevent one from becoming a Great Emperor.
After integrating the nine rules into one, one can break through to the Remnant Immortal Realm.
It spun around in the same spot.
Finally stopping, he said in disbelief, "The Great Wilderness Domain is a land of immortal remnants; all of this is too illogical."
"Your Majesty, the Cloud Soaring Sect is a branch sect of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Could it have originated from the Nine Heavens Holy Land?" Ji Lie cautiously reminded him.
"Um?"
Ji Qing was taken aback; this possibility was indeed extremely high.
However, the Immortal Remnant Land was simply unable to withstand the Emperor's oppressive aura.
Why would the Nine Heavens Holy Land send its strongest Emperor to a small branch sect?
Take a moment to think.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ji Qing's mind: the Dayan Holy Land, which was at odds with the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
"What moves have the Great Yan Holy Land made recently?"
“It seems we’ve taken over a major sect from the Southern Region, the Myriad Tribulations Sect,” Ji Lie said without hesitation.
"Go, investigate this Myriad Calamities Sect for me."
"Also, have someone keep an eye on this matter for now, and don't act rashly."
"Your Majesty, what about the Second Prince...?"
"As long as he's not dead."
Ji Qing waved his hand dismissively and said, "I have many sons. One more or one less makes no difference."
"Even if I die, I can just have another one."
"Forehead....."
Ji Lie was stunned!
He quickly lowered his head to hide the expression on his face.
This moment.
He finally understood what it meant to be ruthless in the imperial family.
Look at what they're saying...
No problem, he had no answer.
Having received the imperial decree, Ji Lie was about to leave when Emperor Ji Qing called him back.
"This wedding ceremony has damaged the prestige of our Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty. We haven't yet found out why this Emperor Gu Xuan appeared in the Yunxiao Sect of the Great Wilderness Domain, so we can't settle accounts with him."
