East Emperor Investigates Thoroughly, The Real Culprit Is Huanglong

Above the dome, a Great Sun suddenly manifested.

The terrifying Golden Flames seemed capable of burning everything, and the space above the entire Lingganhu became distorted.

The next moment, a figure stepped out from within that Great Sun.

This person wore an Emperor Robe embroidered with a Golden Crow pattern, a Emperor Crown on his head, and his Brilliant Gold Eyes radiated immense authority.

The arrival was none other than one of the two rulers of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, East Emperor Taiyi!

Seeing East Emperor Taiyi appear, Xuan Jun immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Reporting to the East Emperor, my wife and child met with misfortune here at Lingganhu."

"I implore the East Emperor to Make A Move, thoroughly investigate this matter, find the murderer, and let me avenge my wife and child!"

Xuan Jun looked at East Emperor Taiyi with hopeful eyes.

Originally, given his status in the Demon Race Heavenly Court, he actually couldn't have invited East Emperor Taiyi.

After all, there were so many demons in the Demon Race Heavenly Court—if every demon who encountered trouble demanded East Emperor Taiyi's personal investigation.

Then East Emperor Taiyi would be run ragged.

But aside from begging East Emperor Taiyi for help, he truly couldn't think of any other way.

Fortunately, after waiting bitterly outside the Demon Race Heavenly Court for a time, East Emperor Taiyi granted him an audience.

And after hearing his plea, East Emperor Taiyi actually agreed to help.

This filled Xuan Jun with ecstatic joy.

As long as East Emperor Taiyi was willing to act, the truth would surely be uncovered.

East Emperor Taiyi glanced at Xuan Jun and said expressionlessly.

"Rest assured. Anyone who dares to harm a demon will pay the price!"

With that, East Emperor Taiyi took a single step to hover directly above Lingganhu.

In an instant, the waters of the entire Lingganhu began to boil.

After a few breaths, Linggan Lake had completely dried up. The lakebed was cracked and parched, with many broken blood scales scattered across its surface.

Xuan Jun's eyes instantly reddened.

He dared not imagine what his wife and child had endured.

Then, East Emperor Taiyi raised his Right Hand.

A low, resonant bell toll shook the universe.

At that moment, the entire Lingganhu seemed to fall into absolute stillness.

Space froze, time halted.

Under Xuan Jun's shocked gaze, an ancient bell of dark yellow appeared.

Carved on the bell's body were patterns of Sun Moon Stars, Earth Fire Wind Water, and all around it swirled strands of Chaos Aura.

An Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell!

As one of the three existing Innate Supreme Treasures of the Honghuang, the power of the Chaos Bell was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

East Emperor Taiyi reached out and lightly tapped the Chaos Bell.

A profoundly mysterious wave of energy erupted from the Chaos Bell, enveloping the entire Lingganhu.

The Chaos Bell could not only suppress space and imprison time, but also reverse Space-Time and overturn the heavens and earth.

With East Emperor Taiyi's cultivation, borrowing the power of the Chaos Bell to recreate events from a certain period in the past was almost effortless.

Under East Emperor Taiyi's activation, a Light Screen quietly appeared.

Then, Light and Shadow shifted across the screen, showing exactly what had happened above Lingganhu.

Time rapidly rewound, quickly reaching the day of A Battle at Lingganhu.

When Xuan Jun saw Chilian appear in the Light Screen, he immediately widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the screen, afraid to miss anything.

What followed was the scene of Chilian's desperate fight with Huanglong Zhenren, ultimately ending in Chilian's self-destruction after being unable to defeat him.

"No!"

Witnessing Chilian's self-destruction with his own eyes, Xuan Jun raised his head and wailed in grief.

A hint of confusion also appeared in East Emperor Taiyi's Brilliant Gold Eyes.

The one who killed Chilian seemed somewhat familiar to him, but he couldn't quite recall who it was at the moment.

But one thing was certain—the other party was not from the Witch Race.

He had originally assumed the killer would be a member of the Witch Race.

After all, since Nuwa became a Saint and the Demon Race Heavenly Court was established, the demons had been truly unrivaled in the Honghuang.

The only force in the entire Honghuang that could contend with them was the Witch Race.

Yet Hongjun had decreed that the two races should jointly govern heaven and earth.

He had thought that if the Witch Race was behind Xuan Jun's matter, he could use it as a pretext to attack them and start a war.

But now it turned out it wasn't the Witch Race who made a move.

While East Emperor Taiyi was puzzled, the scene continued.

Huanglong Zhenren raised his hand and annihilated the Little Black Fiend Python.

"Ah!!!"

This scene drove Xuan Jun completely mad, filled with grief and fury.

He never imagined his wife and child would die like this.

The scene on the Light Screen abruptly stopped.

A strange glint flickered in East Emperor Taiyi's eyes.

He remembered.

"The one who killed your wife and child is Huanglong Zhenren."

Xuan Jun froze, his eyes blazing with towering rage.

Huanglong Zhenren, was it?

He killed his wife and child—he would make him pay blood for blood!

But then, Xuan Jun's expression stiffened.

That name sounded familiar. Had he heard it somewhere before?

Wait a moment!

Huanglong Zhenren?!

He remembered now.

Wasn't Huanglong Zhenren one of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect? A personal disciple of the Yuqing Saint!

Shocked, a trace of despair crept into Xuan Jun's heart.

In terms of pure strength, he was confident he could defeat Huanglong Zhenren.

But the other party was a Saint's personal disciple.

If he killed a Saint's personal disciple...

It might implicate the Demon Race Heavenly Court!

Thinking this, Xuan Jun hardened his heart.

"I have a request for This Emperor."

"Speak."

East Emperor Taiyi's face showed no emotional fluctuation.

"I beg This Emperor to allow me to leave the Demon Race Heavenly Court."

He had to avenge his wife and child. To avoid implicating the Heavenly Court, this was the only way.

"Denied!"

East Emperor Taiyi said coldly.

Xuan Jun's whole body went rigid.

Was he not even allowed to avenge his wife and child?

Just as he felt a wave of helplessness, East Emperor Taiyi spoke again.

"What makes you think my Demon Race Heavenly Court fears the Chan Sect?"

Xuan Jun's pupils contracted.

What did East Emperor mean by this?

"This Emperor has said that anyone who dares to touch my people will pay the price."

"The Chan Sect is no exception!"

So what if Huanglong Zhenren had Yuanshi, the Yuqing Saint, backing him?

Didn't the Demon Race have a Saint of their own?

When both sides were evenly matched, reason had to prevail.

And in this matter, it was clearly the Demon Race Heavenly Court that had the upper hand.

"Th-thank you, This Emperor!"

Xuan Jun's face was full of disbelief.

He never imagined East Emperor Taiyi would help him.

"Return to the Heavenly Court first. This matter needs careful deliberation."

He wasn't just seeking justice for Xuan Jun.

He had his own plans in this.
