Seeing that his incompetent descendants were useless, the Saint Venerable Wangdao finally stopped looking at Han Xuanji and didn't say any more unnecessary words.
The so-called rules of the Sacred Court are actually no longer effective for powerful beings like them who have reached the pinnacle.
Instead, they turned their attention to the Holy Venerable Tianming.
The two Saint King ' gazes met briefly in the void. They spoke no words, nor did they exude any aura, yet it seemed as if countless sharp wits were swirling within them.
At their level, many things don't need to be said.
After a few breaths, the Holy Venerable Tianming withdrew his gaze, the faint smile on his lips fading slightly, as if he had heard a somewhat satisfactory reply.
"Good."
The Holy Venerable Tianming spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it silenced the entire Nine Mysteries Hall.
"Then I'll let you investigate, but let me make this clear first: if my disciple is wronged, he will be compensated in full, down to the last penny."
The Saint Venerable Wangdao nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, let's find out more before we talk about it."
He said this, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that his ancestor had settled the matter, Gu Changfeng quickly straightened up and forced himself to remain calm.
He felt that the matter seemed to be settled.
In the end, Han Xuanji and his group gave in.
After all, in his view, the Spirit of the Saint Realm would not be biased towards those who lied, and with the ancestor in charge, he was not afraid of the other party distorting the truth.
But for some reason, the unease he had just suppressed suddenly resurfaced.
Especially when he turned his head to look at Han Xuanji, he saw that the other party's expression was normal, and he even smiled at him.
The smile was so faint, so subtle, that it was hard to understand.
He really wanted to yell, "What are you laughing at?"
However, Mo Chenxiao and Leng Qianshuang, who were present, were clearly not so relaxed.
Leng Qianshuang frowned, wanting to say something several times, but in the end she pursed her lips and stood only behind Han Xuanji, as if ready to shield him from something at any time.
Mo Chenxiao didn't look at her, but gave Han Xuanji a deep look, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.
Clearly, neither of them was as confident as they appeared.
Although the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord did not give Han Xuanji any special treatment, there was no reason for him to feel uneasy.
But seeing how confident the other person was made him a little insecure.
Everyone had their own ulterior motives.
Under the guidance of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, they entered the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm in different forms.
Unlike the usual way of entering, Han Xuanji and the others entered this world while maintaining their full power.
Moreover, once you enter, you arrive at the core of the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm.
Gu Changfeng's heart was beating even faster on the way here than it had on the way there.
The more composed Han Xuanji appeared, the more suspicious he became.
But now that he's reached this point, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
At the core was an infinite void. The group appeared next to a stone platform about ten feet in size that was suspended in flowing light. Everything around them was floating illusory particles.
When the Spirit of the Saint Realm was awakened, the surrounding light suddenly intensified, and an old man with white hair emerged from the light, with a peaceful face and extremely clear eyes.
He first saw the two Saint Venerable, and hurriedly bowed, his expression respectful.
Before anyone could speak, Gu Changfeng stepped forward and, in his capacity as the Arbitration Sacred Hall's Law Enforcer, asked, word by word:
"Does the Spirit of the Saint Realm know the purpose of our visit?"
The Spirit of the Saint Realm listened, but only gently shook its head:
"I do not know."
He genuinely didn't know why everyone was making such a fuss, and he felt as if the sky had fallen.
Considering his diligence and hard work, is he breaking some kind of divine law?
He was not the one who violated the heavenly rules.
Han Xuanji, the "culprit," looked completely innocent, as if nothing had happened.
He had been somewhat worried, but upon seeing the appearance of the Spirit of the Saint Realm, he understood.
It's safe now.
As expected, the other party's abilities were insufficient to detect the existence of the system.
Despite his blatant sign-in, he actually didn't touch a single blade of grass or tree in the Nine Mysteries Saint Realm.
Seeing that the other party was pretending to be stupid, Gu Changfeng quickly went up and asked a question.
He then recounted a series of events.
The Spirit of the Saint Realm was completely unfazed by Gu Changfeng's pressure, speaking as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, and said in a matter-of-fact manner:
" The Ten Directions Immortal Hall Trials are subject to the rules personally set by the Ten Directions Holy Lord back then."
The Nine Mysteries Holy Lord has no authority to modify the trials, and the Saint Realm itself will not provide any additional convenience to any trial participants.
Furthermore, all of Han Xuanji's actions within the Immortal Palace were within the rules, without any trace of external force.
The Spirit of the Saint Realm realm adopted a businesslike demeanor, causing Gu Changfeng's face to turn pale and even his voice to change tone:
"How is that possible? His strength is clearly far beyond that of others of the same level. Could it be that he secretly received help from the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord?"
The Spirit of the Saint Realm still shook its head, its gaze shifting to Han Xuanji, a flicker of emotion seemingly passing through its eyes for a moment:
"This spirit only knows that the rules have not been broken."
The phrase "the rules haven't been broken" made Gu Changfeng almost lose his balance.
But Gu Changfeng Undying, so he stepped forward and urgently said to the Spirit of the Saint Realm:
"Senior, please think about it again."
The Ten Directions Immortal Hall is at its tenth level; what merit or ability does he possess to pass through it so quickly?
Isn't there even the slightest bit of suspicion?
He is the personal disciple of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord. Who knows if the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord gave him any token beforehand, or even asked you to show him mercy!
He spoke quickly and urgently, his tone already showing signs of losing his composure.
The Spirit of the Saint Realm, who originally had a kind expression, gradually raised his long eyebrows when he heard him say "show mercy."
He was no longer as calm as before; instead, he put his hands behind his back and looked at Gu Changfeng with a slightly cool gaze:
"You have no grudge against the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, yet you speak of him in such a despicable way."
Since taking over this realm from the Ten Directions Holy Lord, this spirit has never shown favoritism.
Are you saying that I'm protecting him?
Gu Changfeng's expression changed again. He wanted to say something, but he felt a gentle yet irresistible breeze coming towards him, pushing him back several steps.
The voice of the Spirit of the Saint Realm also turned cold:
"If you don't believe me, then call the Saint Emperor to verify it."
All of Han Xuanji's gains in the Ten Directions Immortal Hall were traceable by the rules, and none of them exceeded the scope stipulated by the Saint Realm.
Even the various insights he gained were personally left behind by the Ten Directions Holy Lord back then.
It's laughable that you're using such baseless speculation to slander a junior.
These words were extremely impolite, leaving Gu Changfeng speechless, his face alternating between red and white.
He was already flustered, and now he was even more doubtful.
Gu Changfeng wanted to argue further, but the Saint Venerable Wangdao gently raised his hand to stop him.
Then Saint Venerable Wangdao his finger, and an invisible wave fell into the core stone platform, only to be withdrawn again a moment later.
The Spirit of the Saint Realm did not stop it, but merely watched coldly.
After a long while, the Saint Venerable Wangdao slowly opened his half-closed eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
"That's right. The Spirit of the Saint Realm did not lie. Han Xuanji's actions were all within the rules, and no other power was involved."
These words struck Gu Changfeng like a thunderclap.
It's over.
