Follower of the Dao, a Living Celestial Timing Demigod?

Emperor Lord Qianyin and Emperor Lord Fuzhi went in together, but only Emperor Lord Fuzhi came out. The people outside immediately made up their minds.

The Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord and two other Mechanism Master, also belonging to the War God Hall, immediately asked, "Emperor Lord Fuzhi, where is Emperor Lord Qianyin?"

Emperor Lord Fuzhi said with regret, "Emperor Lord Qianyin unfortunately triggered the True Spirit Tribulation during the inheritance trial and has died."

"What?" The three, Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord, were shocked.

If her death was natural, then Emperor Lord Qianyin might be resurrected. Her joining the War God Hall Emperor Lord Qianyin proves she had accumulated considerable merit over the years. Even if she dies, the empire would request the Reincarnation Temple to resurrect her.

Die under the True Spirit Tribulation? Then there's nothing we can do.

I have never heard of anyone who died during True Spirit Tribulation being able to be resurrected.

"How could Emperor Lord Qianyin suddenly encounter True Spirit Tribulation? As her friend, why have I never heard of it? Emperor Lord Fuzhi, do you have any evidence?" A bald Mechanism Master stared intently at Emperor Lord Fuzhi, his expression very agitated.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi glanced at the Mechanism Master: "Emperor Hai Gong, I was focused on undergoing the inheritance test at the time. How could I possibly have the energy to pay attention to Emperor Lord Qianyin? By the time I came to my senses, I saw Emperor Lord Qianyin had turned to ashes."

"No evidence? Then let me ask you, did you receive the inheritance?"

"Yes." Emperor Lord Fuzhi nodded.

Emperor Hai Gong's tone gradually turned cold, "You, a Sword Dao Emperor Lord Realm, competed with Emperor Lord Qianyin, yet in the end, you were the one who received the inheritance."

Emperor Lord Qianyin died instead.

"You must have taken advantage of the situation to ambush and kill her!"

Upon hearing this, the Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord and the other Mechanism Master immediately agreed, saying in unison, "Emperor Lord Fuzhi, please come with us back to the War God Hall!"

"If it is proven that you are not lying, we will naturally apologize."

Emperor Lord Fuzhi stood on the steps, scanning the three people below, including Zhao Xing, and his expression gradually changed.

"I was able to receive the inheritance because I cultivate both swordsmanship and music; I'm qualified for it!"

"I can explain to the Ancient Kingdom Alliance, and I can explain to Elder Bovey, but I don't need to explain to your War God Hall."

"Besides, the Wilderness Exploration Treaty guarantees the freedom to kill. Even if I were the one who killed her, what are you going to do about it?"

"You admit it?!" Emperor Hai Gong's eyes were icy cold. "Bowei truly harbors wolfish ambitions!"

Upon Emperor Lord Fuzhi Emperor Hai Gong's disrespect towards Bowei, Emperor Fuzhi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Get out of my way, don't force me to take action!"

A chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the air, and even the ground was covered with a layer of frost.

Zhao Xing frowned and retreated behind the Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord and the others.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi was born in the Ancient Kingdom Alliance, but he spent most of his time in the Academy City because he was Dao Follower of Bowei.

What is Dao Follower? Theoretically speaking, anyone who has been taught the techniques by a scholar can be called Dao Follower of that scholar.

The Dao Follower were originally a loose organization.

Later, it gradually became a training base for various forces to send people there to learn, and then the geniuses would return to serve their respective forces after they became stronger.

In exchange, various powers will provide resources for scholars to conduct research.

However, from the later period of the Zhi Xin era, the concept of "Dao Follower" changed.

Bowei first proposed reforming the Dao Follower organization, requiring Dao Follower to pledge allegiance to the Academy City and break away from their original power.

At the same time, the number of Dao Follower should be reduced, and efforts should be concentrated on cultivating a small group of talents.

The cultivation resources for Dao Follower will be provided by the Academy City, extending the time for Dao Follower to learn.

Those who perform exceptionally well may even inherit all the secret techniques of a scholar!

Such radical reforms naturally met with opposition, because it would mean that the Academy City would have its own armed forces, essentially leeching off the major powers. Such Inverted Heavenly Dipper would certainly not be agreed to by the various powers.

There was also internal opposition, because this would turn the Academy City from a neutral organization into a non-neutral one, which would contradict the Academy City's philosophy of "being at peace with the world".

Zhi Xin did not approve the reform proposal, but he did allow Bowei to select Dao Follower from weaker dynastic forces.

Since the Desolate Territory Era, the armed forces of the Academy City have indeed grown stronger, and since Bowei recruited the Starry Sky Historian, the reform of the [Dao Follower] organization has also been put on the agenda.

Compared to recruiting "Starry Sky Historian" and opening the World Transfer Tower, reforming the Dao Follower organization seems insignificant and goes largely unnoticed.

Because Bowei is no longer as sharp and outspoken as he was in his youth, although he reduced the number of "Dao Follower" in the ancient kingdom's forces, the opening of the Eighth Law Realm has increased the strength of scholars, which is equivalent to an increase in the overall strength of Dao Follower.

With fewer people but more elites, it's understandable that the Academy City needs more resources.

Using resources obtained from ancient kingdoms and super powers, Bowei began to cultivate Dao Follower from small countries, gradually building up the first armed forces completely loyal to the Academy City. Emperor Lord Fuzhi was one of these followers.

Bowei concealed his God Creation Project under the "Dao Follower" plan.

First, they released the Follower of the Dao Project to test the reactions of various countries. Assuming that Emperor Lord Fuzhi eventually dies, he still has two other people to train, which can be done more secretly.

Zhao Xing was unsure whether the three men's actions were authorized by the War God Hall or were driven by greed and personal ambition.

In short, Emperor Hai Gong, Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord, and Emperor Xuan Yi are now truly determined to kill and intend to Emperor Lord Fuzhi.

"That's really asking for trouble, don't drag me into it."

Zhao Xing had no intention of offending Emperor Lord Fuzhi, and he had no connection with the three people from the War God Hall.

However, the excuses given by Emperor Hai Gong, Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord and the other two have escalated to the level of opposing camps. If a fight breaks out, how can he remain unscathed?

"Scholar Feng Chen, Dao Follower Fu Zhi," Emperor Hai Gong hissed. "I suspect you have slaughtered members of the Imperial War God Hall and endangered the exploration of the Ancient Path. Surrender immediately and cooperate with the War God Hall's investigation!"

At the same time, both Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord and Emperor Xuan Yi sent a telepathic message to Zhao Xing: "Zhao Xing Sea Trade Envoy, in the name of the military, I hereby order you to immediately return to the outside world and inform Emperor Tian Jin."

Zhao Xing had just broken through to the Reincarnation Realm and possessed a Great Beginning Clone, making him exceptionally skilled at escaping. Instead of having Zhao Xing fight, they sent him to deliver a message.

Hearing this, Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

He was certain that the three people, Emperor Hai Gong, were plotting to kill and seize the treasure, and it was definitely not at the behest of their superiors.

If so, one should also inform Emperor Lord Zi Fang and Emperor Meng Wu.

How could it be Emperor Tian Jin? It's obvious that he's either using me to call people or to get me out of the way.

If you deliver the message yourself, it adds to your credibility afterward.

"Emperor Lord Fuzhi is all-powerful and has inherited a divine artifact, where do they get their confidence?"

Zhao Xing didn't understand, but instinct still made him choose to escape the vortex of conflict.

He has no intention of calling in reinforcements or staying to help.

"Clang!"

It was like a sword being drawn from its sheath, or like the sound of a zither.

Zhao Xing discovered that the surrounding space had become extremely chaotic, and the Great Beginning Clone's distance-free leap had become extremely slow.

The tense standoff between the two powerful figures disrupted the already chaotic musical notes within the Jiao Palace area, as if the entire Lingluo Realm had been sealed off.

Although it did not completely interrupt Zhao Xing's teleportation, it did delay Zhao Xing's escape.

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

Perhaps only he truly understood how terrifying Emperor Lord Fuzhi was.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi was one of the Three Divine Descendants.

If a real fight broke out, even ten more Red Eyebrows and Emperor Hai Gong wouldn't be a match for him.

Now that I can't escape, am I really going to get dragged into this?

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the situation was about to get out of control, Zhao Xing's main body and clone suddenly rushed to the middle of the two sides.

Old Master Zhao's intervention abruptly brought the impending battle to a halt.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi would not dare to kill Zhao Xing.

Even Bowei didn't dare to have such a thought. Although he didn't know why, he had complete faith in Bowei's judgment.

Zhao Xing was unaware of this. If Emperor Lord Fuzhi him, it would be a completely undeserved disaster for him to be implicated.

The all-around Emperor Lord Fuzhi is not as simple as one plus one equals two, especially since he now possesses a divine artifact.

The three Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord, mindful that Zhao Xing was a partner of Meng Wu, dared not allow Zhao Xing to be injured. The previous order was mainly intended to send Zhao Xing away.

The three possess a rare artifact capable of a one-time burst of power, left behind from a relic cave dwelling during the Five Emperors era.

Even if Emperor Lord Fuzhi had managed to obtain the divine artifact by chance, they were very confident that they could defeat the relatively unknown Emperor Lord Fuzhi.

"Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord, Emperor Hai Gong, and Emperor Xuan Yi, no matter how you look at it, scholars are respected and hold a special position. The imperial law enforcement has never harmed scholars," Zhao Xing first advised the three. "Even if you need to question them, you should go outside together first."

At the same time, the clone faced Emperor Lord Fuzhi and also advised him, "Emperor Lord Fuzhi, Elder Feng, Emperor Lord Qianyin died without even a chance to be resurrected. It is understandable that the colleagues of the War God Hall were agitated. I believe that the three Emperor Lord Realm are upright and honest, and are not your treasures."

Emperor Lord Fuzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Zhao Shennong, for your sake, I can let it go, as long as these three stop blocking the road. If you wish to inquire further, you must first report to Elder Bovey."

Seeing that Emperor Lord Fuzhi had relented, Zhao Xing felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hai Gong persisted. "Of course we won't lay a hand on a scholar, but he's not a scholar, he's merely Dao Follower!"

"Afraid to answer questions? You're clearly hiding something!"

Emperor Xuan Yi then shouted, "Zhao Xing, leave immediately. This is not something you can interfere in."

Zhao Xing was speechless.

I'd like to leave, but I'd better be able to actually leave!

"Zhao Shennong, you don't need to waste your breath." Emperor Lord Fuzhi looked into the distance. "They have set up Magic Array all along the way in the Lingluo Realm. They have no intention of letting me go."

I appreciate your kindness.

Zhao Xing wasn't afraid of Emperor Lord Fuzhi dying; he was afraid that Emperor Lord Fuzhi would kill them.

No matter how you look at it, this is the Annihilating Star Ancient Road, something that happened on his territory.

"Your Emperor Lord Realm, may I—"

But the Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord had lost his patience.

He stretched out his large hand, Entanglement chains and crackled with lightning, and slapped Zhao Xing away into the distance.

At the same time, Emperor Lord Fuzhi also made his move. He pointed a finger, and sword energy crisscrossed, tearing a gap in the outer area of the Spirit Luo Palace, where musical notes filled the air. Both sides simultaneously sent Zhao Xing away.

"Waaaaah~"

A deep horn sounded, and Zhao Xing seemed to hear the sound from the twelfth level of the Five Sound Illusion Realm.

However, the countless musical notes stirred up the wind and clouds, making it impossible for him to see the battle situation inside.

Just as his spirit was trying to see clearly, the sound of the horn suddenly gave him a splitting headache.

The three men from the War God Hall wanted to kill and steal the treasure, but they were using the name of the War God Hall and also planned to use him.

Having just merged with the Dark Soul, Zhao Xing once again triggered the dark side within him. Upon hearing the horn, his true spirit showed signs of being passively torn apart for the 102nd time.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

"Those three dared to make a move, they must have some strength. Now that I've recruited powerful troops, I can lie in wait nearby, wait for them to weaken each other, and then reap the benefits!"

"The World Opening Divine Stone has just a little bit of power left. After its divine power was depleted, it just reached the critical value to detonate."

Remember that explosion in the Medicine King Realm? The current World Opening Divine Stone is like a larger version of the World Heart! You can reap many treasures from it!

A multitude of thoughts surged through Zhao Xing's mind. At this moment, he possessed three combat-type Plant Soldier: the Li Yin Tree, the Sun Moon Vine, and the Seven Realms True Spirit Bamboo. He also had the support Black Heaven Moon Tree and a World Opening Divine Stone that could be used as a killing move.

Possessing a powerful weapon, Zhao Xing's murderous intent naturally arises; a third of his thoughts now revolve around being the predator, killing to steal treasure.

"The Great Beginning Clone has investigated the route the Lingluo Realm took, and the two Great Mechanism Emperor Lord Realm have laid numerous traps to conceal it. This is the perfect opportunity!"

"Can't we use the reputation we built up at the previous ceremony now? Once we get it, we'll be able to do whatever you say. Soul searching? The Five Poisons Sect is about to break through to Demigod. With this protection, who would dare to search them?!"

"People die for wealth, birds die for food; morality? If you succeed, you will write history and define morality!"

". Shut up!"

The voice in his mind grew louder and louder until Zhao Xing roared, finally suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart.

Looking down, he realized he had unknowingly placed the World Opening Divine Stone in his hand. The four Emperor Lord Realm soldiers had been summoned!

Zhao Xing then realized that forcibly devouring the dark fragment had not completely resolved the aftereffects of the Great Beginning Clone.

Although the Dark Soul Split disappeared, the Dark Thought did not. As the number of times it was torn apart increased, it gradually became independent and was amplified by the Asura Race's secret technique, the Great Dark Heavens.

"The law of the jungle prevails, only the fittest survive. You've been living in comfort in the empire for too long, and you've forgotten the path you came from. Five Poisons, Gu Luo River, Zuo Qiyu, even the Red Star Great Emperor —aren't their hands stained with blood and their feet littered with bones?"

"You actually possess that laughable sense of morality, how utterly weak! And you even dare to presume to Attain Dao and Become God— "

The sound in the darkness gradually faded, and the dark thoughts in his Sea of Consciousness were completely shattered, but the sound continued to echo in Zhao Xing's mind.

"Is the practice of self-cultivation and moral refinement due to evil thoughts within my own heart, or is it the fault of the cultivation method itself?"

"I wonder how Zuo Qiyu and Jin Yan dealt with this situation." Human nature is complex. Zhao Xing forcibly crushed the evil thoughts, but did not feel any relief. Instead, his heart felt heavy.

He did not leave, but he put away his Internal World and the World Opening Divine Stone and sat down to meditate.

He no longer cared about the conflict between Emperor Lord Fuzhi and Chi Mei, Hai Gong, and Xuan Yi, because he himself was facing problems.

"Until the problem is resolved, [Great Dark Heavens] cannot be practiced anymore."

Zhao Xing then turned to cultivating another Mind Will Method— the Great Dream Marsh.

The Great Dream Marsh belongs to the Heart Field Art, and is a self-created Major Divine Ability.

It is moderate and balanced, unlike the extreme approach of [The Great Dark Heavens].

"Phew~"

With his eyes closed, Zhao Xing's clones within the Lingluo Realm all fell into a deep sleep.

This even includes the Great Beginning Clone in the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, the Primordial Beginning Realm, and the Four Seasons Palace.

Since the Rain Immortal Festival sacrifice, Zhao Xing has experienced too many things in a short period of time: being kidnapped by Wei Tianchen, being poisoned by the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, venturing into the World Transfer Tower, taking over the Annihilating Star Ancient Road, and starting the Dharma Assembly. He has also experienced life-and-death crises, financial crises, and intense fatigue.

At this moment, he opened the Great Dream Marsh, attempting to heal his soul, and unexpectedly fell asleep immediately.

He completely forgot he was in the ruins, and he also forgot the great battle taking place not far away. Zhao Xing didn't think about anything.

I just want to get a good night's sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Xing felt as if it was raining.

His keen perception of the changing Heavenly Timing caused him to slowly wake up from his sleep.

"You're awake."

What came into view was an absolutely beautiful face.

"Emperor Lord Fuzhi."

Zhao Xing slowly sat up.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi sat on a rock, a broken sword beside him.

The surrounding night was pitch black, with swirling mist and a chill in the air. Emperor Lord Fuzhi lit a bonfire in the center; it was made of a unique material, and a fragrant aroma wafted from it.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Soon, three years and five months."

"You—they." Zhao Xing hesitated.

It seems the great battle is over. Since Emperor Lord Fuzhi is here, does that mean he has won?

"They're here," Emperor Lord Fuzhi said, pointing to the campfire.

Zhao Xing was shocked to discover that the campfire was burning the bodies of three people, but now only their skeletons remained.

What a ruthless person! The three great Emperor Lord Realm were dealt with by Emperor Lord Fuzhi just like that, and even their bones were taken off and used as firewood!

"Where is Elder Feng?" Zhao Xing subconsciously looked away, trying to make conversation.

"Here it is." Emperor Lord Fuzhi showed the World Ring on his little finger. "Want some? You must have used up a lot of magic power suppressing your inner demons."

Zhao Xing's face stiffened when he saw the meat skewer that Emperor Lord Fuzhi handed him.

"Don't worry, I'm not that perverted." Emperor Lord Fuzhi took a bite first. "This is a specialty of Si Lan Country, the meat of Golden Hao Ox."

Zhao Xing didn't hesitate any longer, took the food and ate heartily. He had a very good sleep, his mind was clear, and there were no more noisy sounds in his Sea of Consciousness. He was indeed a little hungry.

After eating something to fill his stomach, Zhao Xing looked at the campfire and said, "If you kill them, it will probably be difficult to get away with it peacefully."

"Yes," said Emperor Lord Fuzhi. "My homeland Si Lan Country, is just a small country that has only existed for five eras. Apart from me, the Lord of the Kingdom are only at the Lord Level. I think you probably haven't even heard of it."

Zhao Xing had certainly heard of it, but he didn't break the atmosphere and shook his head in accordance with Emperor Lord Fuzhi's meaning.

"I come from a small country. If I hadn't become Elder Bovey's [Dao Follower], probably no one would know me."

"Even if I become Dao Follower and cultivate to the Emperor Lord Level, I am still insignificant in front of the War God Hall of the Empire."

"I endured it and ran away, but the three of them set up many Magic Array after entering the Spirit Luo Hall and chased after me again."

"They possessed a forbidden artifact, powerful enough to threaten Demigod, so I had no choice but to kill them. That's how it happened."

Emperor Lord Fuzhi recounted the murder in a casual manner, while Zhao Xing listened quietly.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Xing asked, "What do you plan to do?"

He was actually asking, "What do you plan to do with me?"

Emperor Lord Fuzhi should have left, but he is now staying here to burn bones, which clearly indicates that he has a purpose.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi looked at Zhao Xing and said, "I do need your help."

"Help with what?"

"A Justice word."

Emperor Lord Fuzhi said, "I don't need you to cover it up for me. Just tell me the whole story."

"How did Emperor Lord Qianyin die?"

"True Spirit Tribulation," said Emperor Lord Fuzhi. "The Artifact Spirit Xuan Yue, told me that during the process of inheriting the divine artifact, the Eight Sound Zither, she triggered her True Spirit Tribulation."

"I promise you." Zhao Xing nodded.

He truly believed that Emperor Lord Fuzhi had not killed Emperor Lord Qianyin.

Judging from the panel, Emperor Lord Fuzhi's level in Music Dao is higher than that of Emperor Lord Qianyin.

In other words, Emperor Lord Fuzhi was more likely than Emperor Lord Qianyin to inherit the Eight Sound Divine Score.

"Thank you." Emperor Lord Fuzhi tossed two items over.

One of them is the Replay Dao Mirror made by the Academy City. Its function is only to record things that have happened in the past, but it is more powerful than most Star Mirror and can record the fluctuations of the Dao.

In other words, reviewing a battle not only reveals the simple impact, but also clarifies how much effort was put in.

It seems that Emperor Lord Fuzhi has learned his lesson. He didn't have time to record Emperor Lord Qianyin's death, but he did record the process of the three people who used forbidden items and he was forced to fight back.

The other thing is the World Ring.

Inside were four Dong Ming Flower, three of which were dead, and one was still alive and in a state of awakening!

Even the golden bamboo pole that was partially charred was among them.

"What are you doing?"

"A reward for helping," Emperor Lord Fuzhi said succinctly.

"There's no need for that," Zhao Xing declined. "I'm just telling the truth; there's no need for such a generous reward."

"Sometimes speaking the truth comes at a greater price." Emperor Lord Fuzhi pushed the item back. "This is especially true in the current situation."

Even if Zhao Xing tells the truth, it would be tantamount to testifying for Emperor Lord Fuzhi, which would likely offend certain people in the War God Hall. Super powers cooperate, compete, and even oppose each other.

If we're talking about reasoning, Zhao Xing testifying for Emperor Lord Fuzhi is perfectly reasonable. It's purely that the three from the War God Hall courted their own demise, failing to kill and seize the treasure only to be killed themselves.

But if we're talking about stance, isn't Zhao Xing a member of the Empire? Why are you helping outsiders?

"Alright, I'll accept it." Zhao Xing stored the ring inside his Internal World, then asked hesitantly, "Aren't you worried about what will happen after I leave?"

Emperor Lord Fuzhi smiled and said, "I believe you."

Zhao Xing immediately understood and relaxed, saying, "Thank you."

They retraced their steps, breaking all the Magic Array along the way and making records of the damage.

Zhao Xing and Emperor Lord Fuzhi escaped from the vortex on the Cyan Jade Stone Slab together, and then returned to the initial exploration hall through Emperor Mo Shu's safe passage.

At this moment, Emperor Meng Wu, Emperor Mo Shu, and Emperor Xuan Ying were still sitting on the high chairs in the hall, resting with their eyes closed.

When they saw that only Emperor Lord Fuzhi, Feng Chen, and Zhao Xing came out, they immediately opened their eyes.

"Emperor Lord Fuzhi, Elder Feng, Zhao Xing, why are only the three of you here?"

"Where are Emperor Lord Qianyin, and Chi Mei and the others?"

The one asking the question was Emperor Xuan Ying.

Emperor Lord Fuzhi remained silent, while Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the three Emperor Lord Realm, Emperor Lord Qianyin encountered True Spirit Tribulation during the inheritance process and unfortunately perished."

As for the other three...

Since there were other people in the hall at the moment, Zhao Xing handed over the Replay Dao Mirror and whispered to Meng Wu and the other two.

After reading it, Meng Wu's expression turned serious.

Emperor Mo Shu and Emperor Xuan Ying were furious. The three military experts from the Imperial War God Hall had been tempted by wealth and killed the people of the Academy City to steal their treasures. They had actually been killed in return. This was simply too shameful!

Before this, Emperor Lord Fuzhi was not famous at all. Apart from being one of the Bowei [Dao Follower], he was not particularly remarkable.

Now, not only has he obtained the inheritance of the Lingluo Realm, but he has also killed three Emperor Lord Realm of the War God Hall all by himself, which is simply astonishing.

Without a doubt, this is a very shameful thing.

When faced with a shameful situation, there are usually only two approaches: one is to openly admit it and maintain a semblance of dignity; the other is to completely cover it up or distort the facts so that the world remains unaware.

Before Emperor Meng Wu could speak, Emperor Xuan Ying activated the mechanism beneath him. A burst of light from the barrier flashed across the hall, and the four of them appeared in a separate space.

Meng Wu, Mo Shu, Xuan Ying, and Zhao Xing together created an independent space, while Emperor Lord Fuzhi and Feng Chen were left outside.

Then, Emperor Xuan Ying stared intently at Zhao Xing: "Zhao Xing, I asked Emperor Lord Fuzhi, why did you answer? Were you coerced by him into doing something you didn't want to do?"

Even if there is evidence against Emperor Lord Fuzhi and Feng Chen, its credibility within the empire is not high.

But with Zhao Xing as a witness, the situation is different.

Although Zhao Xing had just broken through to the Reincarnation Realm, he had previously developed the Annihilating Star Ancient Road and held so many Dharma Assemblies, so his reputation was very high.

If reputation had levels, Zhao Xing would have at least Demigod- level reputation among the Agricultural Official, and an Emperor Lord Level reputation among other professions.

People of low status naturally have little influence, but Zhao Xing cannot be ignored in this matter. If he speaks up for Emperor Lord Fuzhi, then Emperor Lord Fuzhi will certainly be innocent.

Conversely, if he speaks ill of the emperor, Emperor Lord Fuzhi will be implicated in a crime.

"Reporting to Emperor Xuan Ying, I was not coerced," Zhao Xing replied.

"Zhao Xing, your cultivation level is low, so you may not be able to see the battle situation clearly. Think about it carefully, is it possible that you are being misled by an illusion?" Emperor Mo Shu also asked.

The words were light and casual, but their meaning was profound.

If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper. Revenge also needs a reason. If Zhao Xing can change his mind, Emperor Xuan Ying can detain Emperor Lord Fuzhi on the spot and avenge his junior brother Emperor Xuan Yi.

Emperor Mo Shu also had a relationship with Emperor Hai Gong, so naturally he favored his own people.

The two Emperor Lord Realm joined forces to put pressure on Zhao Xing, hoping he could "think things through" from the perspective of the War God Hall and not let the War God Hall lose face.

Zhao Xing remained silent for a long time, seemingly deep in thought.

Emperor Meng Wu remained silent, simply listening attentively.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xing finally spoke.

"Your Emperor Lord Realm, I stand by my previous statement and guarantee that there are no omissions or biases."

"Very well, since you are the witness, then Chi Mei, Xuan Yi, and Hai Gong deserve what they got! What a disgrace! They deserve to die!" Emperor Xuan Ying said in a cold voice, and then left the Mind Space.

Emperor Mo Shu also gave Zhao Xing a deep look, then left without saying anything.

Only Emperor Meng Wu and Zhao Xing remained in this space.

"Zhao Xing, do you understand the implications of this?" Meng Wu asked.

"Understood." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Do you understand that you still insist on your own opinion?"

"Your master is so tactful, he wouldn't have answered like that just now; he would have left some room for maneuver."

"General Meng." Zhao Xing habitually switched back to the way he addressed Meng Wu a long time ago. "Teacher is teacher, and I am me."

You know I not only dare to talk, I also dare to do.

"If anyone wants revenge on me for speaking the truth today, then bring it on!"

Meng Wu looked at Zhao Xing and said, "Your courage is as strong as ever."

It's unclear whether this was a joke or an expression of admiration, or perhaps both, but Meng Wu didn't elaborate on the topic.

"The Celestial Master Mansion has already deduced the location of the Minister of Agriculture Cave Abode of the interdimensional Realm Ship, so you should not interfere in this matter further."

One appearance is enough.

"Especially before the outcome is determined, don't say anything publicly."

"Yes."

Meng Wu meant well, and Zhao Xing could tell the difference, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"I heard you are proficient in three schools of thought, and this time you discovered a cave dwelling belonging to the Time Faction. I wonder if you are interested?"

"The Time Faction's cave dwelling? Of course I'm interested!"

Zhao Xing had been searching for the Time Faction's cultivation techniques because the three schools' techniques were currently unbalanced, even severely so.

"Alright, then go find Jing Yue and Ji Si."

"Yes."

When the conversation ended and he came to his senses, he found himself still in the waiting hall, Emperor Lord Fuzhi and scholar Feng Chen were nowhere to be seen.

Also missing are Emperor Mo Shu and Emperor Xuan Ying.

"I heard that Emperor Xuan Yi and Emperor Xuan Ying are Senior Brother and have a very close relationship. I wonder if he knows this, and whether he will seek revenge for his junior brother," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I hope he doesn't do anything foolish."

Emperor Xuan Ying is also at the peak of the Emperor Lord Realm, able to stand on equal footing with Meng Wu. This Mechanism Master is also very strong.

However, Emperor Lord Fuzhi cannot be judged by ordinary standards. If he were to seek revenge, he might be the one to die.

"Bowei's God Creation Project is progressing at Divine Speed. Dao Follower Zhe Fu Zhi is only the third candidate and he is already so strong. It's hard to imagine what kind of fighting power the other two have."

Zhao Xing wondered if Emperor Xuan Ying would secretly retaliate against him.

Even if he's petty and truly dislikes me, it's only a few individuals, not the entire War God Hall. Besides, he won't cause any trouble anytime soon; the War God Hall and the Annihilating Star Ancient Road are still cooperating.

After leaving the exploration hall, Zhao Xing immediately contacted Ji Si and Jing Yue to inquire about the cave.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, you've come out of the Lingluo Realm? How did it go? I heard the atmosphere in the main hall seemed a bit off just now." Ji Si also seemed to be looking for Zhao Xing.

"An accident did happen, but don't ask too many questions," Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Anyway, my gains were pretty good."

It's quite good. He suddenly gained three Emperor Lord Level soldiers and learned a Reincarnation-level Secret Technique, [Great Dark Heavens], which has solidified his combat power in the Reincarnation Realm.

"Let's talk about the cave dwelling of the Time Faction first. How long did it take to confirm it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"It's been confirmed for three years," Ji Si said, "But we haven't sent anyone in yet."

"Why? Are you still preparing?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Because according to the Celestial Master Mansion's speculation, there's only a 60% chance it's the Minister of Agriculture Cave Abode," Ji Si said. "That's the key point."

This delayed the exploration mission by three years.

Even the job title is uncertain, only 60%? Zhao Xing immediately became interested. "Then when can I enter?"

"After discussing it, Emperor Meng Wu and Lushan Emperor Lord of the War God Hall decided to send people in to explore within four months, regardless of whether the Celestial Master Mansion makes any progress," Ji Si said with some worry.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, this cave is extremely dangerous. My master said that the Demigod inside might still be alive!"
