The West Emperor Palace, White Jade Immortal Palace, is towering and majestic, grand and magnificent.
Palaces are arranged in an orderly fashion. Upon entering the palace gate and following the steps forward, spiritual energy is ethereal, making it a sacred place for cultivation on the island.
In different places of the White Jade Palace, people are successively walking through the air, heading in the sa direction, seemingly having received so prior news.
anwhile, Li Fan followed Nan Chen into the West Emperor Palace gate, proceeding all the way.
He arrived at a massive Martial Arts Arena, located above the White Jade steps, below so White Jade palaces. In different directions, cultivators of the West Emperor Palace were crossing, but after arriving here, they needed to continue onward. Only the elders of the West Emperor Palace could proceed without touching down.
Li Fan looked up and saw cultivators walking out of the orderly arranged White Jade palaces and coming this way. Before long, a large number of cultivators gathered around this Martial Arts Arena.
These cultivators were not only from the West Emperor Palace but also included those from various places, visiting the West Emperor Palace.
"What is the situation here?" A young man with arms crossed over his chest asked, looking towards Li Fan’s direction.
"Just got the news, that white-robed Sword Cultivator is nad Yang Qingshan. In the Foundation Establishnt stage, he could kill those in the Condensed Core Realm. On the day of the demon invasion of West Emperor Island, he fought and was invincible in the Foundation Establishnt stage, boosting morale for the West Emperor Island faction."
The person beside him replied, "However, this person seems to be quite a troublemaker, having killed the son of the elder Nan Chen, Nan Zhengchuan. He also killed a steward of the West Emperor Palace, who was also the father of the ’genius’ Song Siyu, and killed many in the Condensed Core Realm of the other’s family. Nan Chen brought him to the West Emperor Palace to deal with."
"Hearing it like this, I am quite interested. This person is indeed troubleso, having such guts," the cultivator standing with arms crossed said with a smile.
The surrounding discussions arose one after another, and soon, both the people from the West Emperor Palace and visiting cultivators knew Li Fan’s identity and what he had done, all watching him with interest.
How will the West Emperor Palace handle this?
Looking up, several figures ca walking through the air from the direction of the White Jade palaces above, all elders of the West Emperor Palace. Upon arrival, they all stood on the White Jade steps of the Martial Arts Arena.
At this mont, a white-haired old man walked from afar, exuding an ethereal and extraordinary deanor, with an air of an immortal and unique presence.
"Great Elder." Many people bowed in salute, their eyes filled with reverence.
"Great Elder." The elders of the West Emperor Palace also saluted and called out. The white-haired old man walked to the center among them, stepped forward a few steps, and landed in front of the White Jade steps, looking towards Nan Chen and Li Fan’s group.
Li Fan t his gaze naturally, the Great Elder of the West Emperor Palace, Murong Gang, pinnacle of the Sixth Realm Dao Body, managing all the palaces of the West Emperor Palace. Even elders like Nan Chen have to obey him.
Besides this, while scanning the crowd, Li Fan saw so familiar faces.
For example, the son of the Yazhou Prefect, Wenren Qiu, was also in this West Emperor Palace.
Wenren Qiu had co to West Emperor Island to train, but when he reached the West Emperor Palace, he ca under the na of the Yazhou Prefect, accompanied by so cultivators from the Prefecture.
The demon turmoil led the court to send people, in principle, despite the court’s influence overseas being quite weak, as it is ultimately within the Da Li Dynasty’s territory.
Wenren Qiu didn’t expect to see Li Fan again in such an environnt. Moreover, within these few short months, the other party had already entered the Condensed Core Realm.
Such talent is truly envy-inducing.
But thinking that he is likely the one from Chi Xiao City... everything seed normal then, after all, he is Li Mountain Sword Son.
Nan Chen dared to act against him?
If he knew his identity, one wonders what Nan Chen would think.
The forces of island cities at sea were less inford about mainland affairs, otherwise, knowing what happened in Chi Xiao City, combined with Li Fan’s ti of going to sea and his age talent, they might guess a little.
The Sword Cultivator Yuwen Jing from West Fla Island was also present, standing not far from the Great Elder. As an extraordinary Sword Cultivator of West Fla Island, Yuwen Jing received obviously more courtesy than others, even the court’s Yazhou Prefecture was just left aside.
This shows that in this sea realm, forces do not really appreciate the court.
Aside from these, there were also various cultivators from the mainland and other islands of the sea, most with so background; otherwise, they would not be able to enter the West Emperor Palace as guests.
Common cultivators, even if they ca to support, could only stay outside the West Emperor Palace.
The Great Elder of the West Emperor Palace, Murong Gang, fixed his gaze on Li Fan but did not speak.
Li Fan also scrutinized the Great Elder, as if sensing sothing, he glanced at the Law Enforcent Elder Nan Chen standing in front of him, noticing a faint invisible ripple spreading from him.
"Divine Sense communication?" Li Fan imdiately understood, it seed that Nan Chen was secretly communicating sothing to Great Elder Murong Gang, after all, both were elders of the West Emperor Palace, they should be very familiar with each other and deeply entangled.
Cultivators in the Condensed Core Realm could communicate through Divine Sense, but if the matter was upright, why do it this way?
He had co openly and upright, naturally unafraid of conspiracies.
"Nan Chen, what’s going on here?" Great Elder Murong Gang asked aloud, as if unaware of what was happening.
"Great Elder, this child Yang Qingshan, I believe you know of him as well, in the battle that day, he crushed the Four Realm Demon, making a significant contribution." Nan Chen reported: "However, prior to that, he and I had so conflicts; regarding the matter of him killing Song Boling of the Song Family, Pill Master Han Qingzi, and several other cultivators, my son Nan Zhengchuan and Song Siyu led mbers of the West Emperor Palace’s law enforcent team to investigate, but my son Nan Zhengchuan was killed by him."
"Additionally, he allegedly killed the Young Island Master of Jiao Demon Island earlier, was discovered by Jiao Demon Island, and was recognized by , forcing him to stand up in battle. The war later erupted, the West Emperor Palace looked for him, but he disappeared, presumably left West Emperor Island, now returning, breaking through the Ning Dan Realm, turned to revenge, went to the Song Family, killed Song Xiang, and slaughtered the Song Family’s Condensed Core Realm cultivators."
"This child is murderous by nature, highly vengeful, disregards rules and restrictions, kills imdiately at the slightest dissatisfaction, not respecting the West Emperor Palace law enforcent, so I went to capture him, but due to his contributions in battle, I didn’t privately decide his life and death, specifically brought him to West Emperor Palace for the Great Elder to decide."
Nan Chen recounted the course of events thoroughly, roughly restoring the incident, only that there was so guidance in his words.
For instance, Li Fan being forced into battle... and Li Fan leaving after the war began, returning to massacre rampantly, giving the impression of Li Fan as cold-blooded, bloodthirsty, unruly, ignoring West Emperor Palace.
"Utter nonsense, distorting facts." Before Li Fan could speak, Luo Qingyan stepped forward and angrily rebuked.
"Silence..." A cold hum resonated in Luo Qingyan’s ears, causing her eardrums to tremble, Nan Chen looked at her with cold eyes, and a suffocating feeling instantly enveloped Luo Qingyan.
"Who do you think you are to speak here?"
Engulfed by the suffocating pressure, Luo Qingyan’s eyes, however, showed a hint of stubborn cold smile, responding, "Since we’re here, as a dignified law enforcent elder of the West Emperor Palace, can’t even let people talk? Might as well just kill in the Song Family to silence , wouldn’t it be better."
"Insolence." Nan Chen’s voice was thunderous.
"Elder Nan’s authority is grand indeed." ng Hong spoke up from the side: "You’ve ntioned nothing about Song Boling’s plot to kill cultivators, nor did you ntion your son Nan Zhengchuan’s indiscriminate killing intent, or how you intercepted us as soon as we returned to the Song Family, is this still law enforcent by a West Emperor Palace elder?"
"Boom..."
An aura burst forth from Nan Chen, his pressure enveloped Luo Qingyan and ng Hong’s group, on West Emperor Island, two re Loose Cultivators in the Condensed Core Realm dared speak to him this way.
In tis of peace, these two wouldn’t even qualify to see him.
Li Fan just gave him a calm glance, his eyes showed a hint of a mocking smile, saying: "Elder Nan, the West Emperor Palace and cultivators from all sides are watching, can you put away your elder’s authority? Lest you beco a laughingstock."
Upon hearing Li Fan’s words, Nan Chen’s expression changed imdiately, and he restrained his aura swiftly, with ease.
"What you’ve done is factual, plotting to kill Song Boling, Han Qingzi, killing my son Nan Zhengchuan, as for throwing dirt on them, well, with dead n tell no tales, say what you will, but not long ago, you were slaughtering in the Song Family, were they also implicated by Song Boling?"
Nan Chen mocked, then looked at Murong Gang: "Great Elder, that’s the sequence of events, due to Zhengchuan’s reasons, I must avoid suspicion, I’m just stating what happened, everything still depends on the Great Elder’s judgnt."
"Judgnt?"
Li Fan sneered, looked at Murong Gang, and courteously saluted, saying: "I am Yang Qingshan, and I suppose the Great Elder knows a bit about my actions, there is no need to over-explain, people do not offend , I do not offend people, those I’ve killed, have all wronged , I ca to West Emperor Island for training and cultivation, not to make enemies, as for killing the Song Family mbers, it was because the Song Family sheltered Song Boling, later tried every ans to have killed, how could I always be passive."
"As for coming to the West Emperor Palace now..."
Li Fan glanced around and said: "I am not a criminal, nor am I here to be judged, now that demons are invading, the West Emperor Palace is resisting demons, as a fellow human cultivator, I co to contribute so strength, but if the West Emperor Palace is here to judge , then I can only take my leave."
"So, what does the Great Elder say?"
Li Fan looked at Murong Gang and asked.
Upon hearing his words, everyone was montarily attuned to his presence, seeing his upright posture, standing tall like a pine tree, neither humble nor arrogant, just as he said, he was not a criminal, not here to accept judgnt from the West Emperor Palace.
However, to speak so, still appeared a bit brazen.
Yet, one wondered, what gave him this confidence?
