Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 710 - 700: Distorting the Truth
Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion.
As soon as Gu Chenfeng returned, he saw the Ice Phoenix pacing anxiously at the palace gate.
It seemed something had happened.
"Ice Phoenix, what’s going on?" Gu Chenfeng asked with a frown, his figure slowly descending.
Upon hearing Gu Chenfeng’s voice, the Ice Phoenix was overjoyed and said urgently, "Master! You’re finally back! Something happened at the Taiyi Divine Hall!"
"Something happened?" Gu Chenfeng frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Is it related to the Chaos Immortal Hall?"
Gu Chenfeng thought that it might be the revenge of Jingtian Yan beginning, so he immediately thought of the Chaos Immortal Hall.
"No." The Ice Phoenix shook its head solemnly and said, "The Nine Nether elder just mentioned that a disciple of the Taiyi Divine Hall killed a disciple of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace, and now the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace has come for retribution. It just happened."
"But the details were unclear, and the Nine Nether elder hurried back, while Emperor Jiang and the Demon Subduing elder went along to help."
"I see." Gu Chenfeng nodded and said helplessly, "There’s no shortage of troublesome matters."
Originally intending to return and cultivate in seclusion to quickly boost his cultivation, Gu Chenfeng didn’t expect the Taiyi Divine Hall to run into trouble.
The Ice Phoenix then added, "The Nine Nether elder said the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace is stronger than the Taiyi Divine Hall. I’m worried the Taiyi Divine Hall can’t hold out, so I’ve been waiting at the Immortal Mansion for you to return."
"I understand." Gu Chenfeng nodded again and asked, "Has the recruitment message for Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion disciples been sent out?"
"Yes." The Ice Phoenix respectfully replied, "The Nine Nether elder has already spread the message. With the Immortal Mansion’s prestige, I believe people will come soon."
"You stay and cultivate in the Immortal Mansion. I will make a trip to the Taiyi Divine Hall." Leaving these words behind, Gu Chenfeng immediately vanished.
With trouble at the Taiyi Divine Hall, Gu Chenfeng couldn’t just ignore it.
The Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion still had three great elders and a grand commander guarding it, so Gu Chenfeng wasn’t too worried about the Ice Phoenix’s safety.
...
At this moment.
Over the Taiyi Divine Hall, the Palace Master and elders of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace had already led numerous formidable cultivators and disciples to the mountain gate.
An overwhelming aura enveloped the entire Taiyi Divine Hall.
The most frightening aura had reached the middle stage of an Immortal Emperor.
It was precisely the Palace Master of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace.
The Cyan Profound Palace Master personally leading the elders showed how seriously they took this matter.
Facing the formidable cultivators of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace, everyone in the Taiyi Divine Hall was filled with terror; the timid disciples were so frightened they collapsed to the ground, each one feeling plunged into a dark abyss.
The Cyan Profound Palace Master had a somber expression and said coldly, "Taiyi Hall Master, if you don’t give this palace a satisfactory explanation today, this palace will bathe your Taiyi Divine Hall in blood! I’ll avenge my disciple from the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace!"
The majestic yet icy voice reverberated through the Taiyi Divine Hall, and the terrifying presence gave a sense of invincible fear.
The dreadful killing intent made the souls of those in the Taiyi Divine Hall scatter in fright.
At this moment.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The sounds of sonic booms came from the distant sky.
It was the Nine Nether, the Demon Subduing elder, and Emperor Jiang, all arriving back in time.
"Three Immortal Emperor powerhouses." The Demon Subduing elder spoke gravely, "The strength of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace is even more formidable than I imagined."
Emperor Jiang nodded solemnly, "The most powerful aura should be that of the Cyan Profound Palace Master."
"The strength of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace is far greater than that of the Taiyi Divine Hall." Tian Lin said gravely, "Let’s hope our patriarch arrives soon, or we will be unable to resist."
In the Immortal Realm, the Taiyi Divine Hall was just a small force.
The Nine Nether’s cultivation was only at the late stage of an Immortal King.
In front of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace, the Taiyi Divine Hall was like an ant.
Above the Taiyi Divine Hall.
The Nine Nether and the Demon Subduing elder, among others, appeared in quick succession.
"The Hall Master is back!"
"Great! We’re saved!"
Seeing the Nine Nether appear, everyone in the Taiyi Divine Hall was overjoyed, and their anxieties dissipated significantly, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Cyan Profound Palace Master glanced at the Nine Nether and asked coldly, "Are you the Taiyi Hall Master?"
"I am." The Nine Nether politely cupped his fist and said, "I just received this news as well, and I need to understand what happened."
"That’s your problem; this Palace Master only wants a satisfactory explanation." The Cyan Profound Palace Master said coldly, completely disregarding the Nine Nether.
The Nine Nether looked at the people below and asked, "Who was involved?"
"Hall Master, it was the disciple." A disciple at the mid-stage of a Daluo Golden Immortal stepped forward, his expression without any hint of panic or fear.
"Jiang Yufeng." The Nine Nether gave the disciple a look and asked with a frown, "What exactly happened? Tell it exactly as it is. The truth is the truth; you are not allowed to lie."
Jiang Yufeng respectfully replied, "Hall Master, this whole affair was because the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace disciple courted death. He was arrogant, bullying, and insulting the Taiyi Divine Hall, insulting the disciple, and even intended to kill me and seize my treasure."
The Nine Nether’s face darkened as he cast a glance at the Cyan Profound Palace Master.
However.
The Cyan Profound Palace Master showed no change in expression.
The Nine Nether said in a deep voice, "Go on."
Jiang Yufeng respectfully continued, "While training in the Immortal Spirit Mountain, I finally found a Purple Gold Spirit Jade, only for it to be discovered by the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace disciple, who demanded I hand it over."
"After repeatedly refusing, he then insulted me and attacked directly."
The Nine Nether asked, "What is his cultivation?"
Jiang Yufeng respectfully answered, "Late stage of a Daluo Golden Immortal."
Looking at the Cyan Profound Palace Master, the Nine Nether spoke with dignity, "Cyan Profound Palace Master, you’ve heard it, haven’t you? What more explanation do you want?"
The Nine Nether clearly believed Jiang Yufeng.
As a disciple of the Taiyi Divine Hall, the Nine Nether knew Jiang Yufeng well and was confident he wouldn’t lie.
"A mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal killing a late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal?" The Cyan Profound Palace Master said expressionlessly, "Do you take this Immortal Emperor for a fool?"
"What this Immortal Emperor has heard is different from what you’re saying. It’s clear that you used despicable means to kill my Immortal Palace disciple and then robbed him of the Purple Gold Spirit Jade. You dare to turn black to white and talk nonsense here."
Jiang Yufeng said urgently, "Hall Master! Every word I said is true; if I lie, let heaven strike me! Moreover, many witnessed the event at the time."
"He’s the one turning black to white and talking nonsense; I absolutely haven’t deceived the Hall Master!"
"No need to panic." The Nine Nether reassured him, "This Hall Master believes you haven’t lied."
The Cyan Profound Palace Master spoke indifferently, "If you can present evidence that convinces this Immortal Emperor, then this Immortal Emperor will believe what you say is true. Do you think this Immortal Emperor would believe that a mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal could defeat a late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal?"
However.
Just then.
A mocking voice called out, "If you don’t believe it, then have a late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal disciple from the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace fight. If he loses, I won’t need you to do it; I’ll kill him with my own hands and then obliterate the Taiyi Divine Hall."
"But if the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace disciple loses, you must personally apologize to Jiang Yufeng, then take your people and leave the Taiyi Divine Hall immediately."
