The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress! [PART 2]

A8 C239: A Breakdown?

One by one, the palace maids searched and verified the guests, and everyone was fine. However, when it came to the Four Domain Lords, they all hit a wall.

"Snap!”

Hua Qinyi directly slapped the palace maid who was searching her to the ground, angrily saying, "You dare to offend me, the city lord?"

Si Wujiu chuckled and suddenly began to perform a spell. His slender fingers were green and black, adorned with dozens of rings that jingled loudly. It was unclear what spell he used, but the palace maid who was searching him suddenly fell to the ground in pain and fainted, seemingly poisoned.

Si Wujiu said with a hint of pity, "I am a master of unique poisons. If any of you act recklessly and die from poisoning, it's not my concern."

Baili Duyue was even simpler. In previous banquets, those who offended him were all skinned alive, and his fierce reputation was well known. He did nothing but cast a cold glance at the palace maid, who was immediately scared unconscious.

Qian Jianghan of Fengxue City was originally the most easy-going one and the most loyal to the Emperor. He had no objections to the search, but seeing the other three not willing to be searched, he waved away the palace attendants with a frown, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Their ways of driving people away were different, but the only common point was that the Spirit-Verifying Bead emitted a dazzling purple light when near them, indicating that all four had broken through to the Transcendent Realm.

Hua Qinyi's expression changed unpredictably. She had obtained a Heavenly Spirit Treasure by chance last year and, with the help of the elders of her clan, barely stepped into the Tian Yan Realm. She had intended to keep it a secret, but it was unexpectedly revealed today.

Si Wujiu's cultivation method was different from others, often using walking deads as tools, with sinister and malicious methods, making his progress much faster than ordinary cultivation. His breakthrough to the Tian Yan Realm was surprising but within expectations.

Fu Yuhao showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "The four of you have put me in a difficult position. If none of you prove your innocence today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Zhong Zhou."

In the past, Baili Duyue would have ridiculed and mocked, wondering who dared to oppose the Four Territories and who dared to stop people at will. However, for some reason today, he said ambiguously, "If the young lord doesn’t allow us to leave, we can stay here until the murderer is caught."

Empress, who had been silently watching, frowned slightly and said, "An incident involving the Immortal You in the capital is already a sign of our Zhong Zhou's poor hospitality. Now, not only do you not apologize, but you also detain the distinguished guests. This has never been reasonable. It’s better to disperse and keep it clean."

Fu Yuhao, feeling reprimanded, lowered his eyes, unable to speak.

The always calm and composed Emperor Fu Yujin finally responded, ordering in a deep voice, "Haven't you heard what your mother said? Release the people."

Fu Yuhao hesitated for a moment before complying.

Seeing this, the Empress finally relaxed her frown and said to the Emperor in a light tone, "I'm not feeling well today, I'll return to the palace to rest."

Without waiting for Fu Yujin's response, she left with her palace maids. Her cold demeanor made people wonder if the Emperor liked such coldness.

Sang Feiwan wanted to leave as soon as possible and discreetly grabbed BailiDuyue's wrist, intending to leave with him. However, just as they took a few steps, the Emperor, surrounded by servants, left the main hall without looking back, saying indifferently to Fu Yuhao, "Those below the Tian Yan Realm can leave."
