Darryl's heart pounded. 'I wasn't the clue he picked up, right?' 'No way. I only took the elixirs and pills when I came out of Emperor Hou Yi's cultivation cell. I'm pretty sure I left no clue behind.' "So, you discovered the reason for the Emperor's death? Let's go then!" Yang Jian said coldly. Then, he jumped onto his Howling Celestial Dog and hurried toward the palace. Tap, tap, tap… Gonggong took advantage of Darryl's carelessness—she reached out and sealed his acupoints. Celine and Song Qian were also not spared as she did the same to them. "Take all of them back!" Gonggong's lips parted slightly as she delivered the command to the royal guard captain. The captain responded quickly. "Yes, Gonggong!" Then he walked toward Darryl and tied him up. "Ugh!" Darryl looked at Gonggong helplessly and said, "Gonggong, you said that you'd take me only. The two of them are innocent!" Gonggong snorted and sneered at him. "Do you think you have the right to negotiate any term
Chang Er turned her head slowly when she perceived Darryl's gaze. Her eyes were full of tears when she looked at him! "Darryl?" Chang Er frowned. Her beautiful face looked like she was ashamed and angry! A few months ago, Darryl had released Zhu Bajie. At that time, the man had used the Transfiguration Powder and pretended to be Emperor Hou Yi. Chang Er would never forget how he played a trick on her. "What's the matter?" An icy voice echoed from Chang Er's mouth. Her powerful aura was beyond anyone's doubt. "Lady Chang Er!" Gonggong stepped forward and said respectfully, "I was patrolling just now and found Darryl, so I've arrested him! Darryl let Zhu Bajie go, so he is a criminal!" Mmm... Chang Er nodded silently. Then, she waved her jade-like hand. "Lock him up!" If that had happened earlier, Chang Er would definitely find a way to teach Darryl a lesson. However, Emperor Hou Yi had only passed away; she did not have the heart to do anything because she was heartbro
For a while, everyone talked about the words that Emperor Hou Yi had left! "What's the matter? How are these words engraved on the jade platform?" "Remember that time when Zhu Bajie offended Empress Chang Er. and Emperor Hou Yi trapped him in the formation?" "Were Empress Chang Er and Zhu Bajie dating then? And His Majesty accidentally saw them, and that was why he died?" The discussions were in a very soft tone, but Chang Er could hear them clearly! Chang Er blushed, and her brain buzzed. She was distraught. 'How could this happen? Zhu Bajie and I are innocent in this. Why did His Majesty engrave our names on the jade platform?' For a time, the atmosphere in the room was extremely grave. Darryl laughed in his heart. 'Is that the clue?' Darryl guessed that the Emperor must have fallen to his voice trick. He must have heard that Zhu Bajie and Chang Er were dating. Then, he engraved both of their names on the jade platform with his fingers. When Emperor Hou Yi look
Emperor Hou Yi had a few brave warriors—Grandmaster Erlang ranked first, and E Lai was in second place. However, the latter rarely intervened in political affairs. Instead, he was placed by Chang Er's side to protect her. He was Chang Er's bodyguard. Even though E Lai looked fierce, he was a caring person. He knew that Chang Er and Emperor Hou Yi loved each other very much, and the Empress would never cheat on Emperor Hou Yi. Therefore, he could not take it that Yang Jian questioned Chang Er so ruthlessly in public. E Lai was the only person in North Moana who would dare to challenge Yang Jian. He stared at Yang Jian as he bellowed, "How could you conclude that Lady Chang Er was dating Zhu Bajie with only these few words? Yang Jian, you are too arrogant. Don't simply slander Lady Chang Er if you don't have any evidence!" Sigh! Yang Jian snorted at E Lai's comment; his handsome figure remained upright. He said lightly, "I have always been righteous. We're investigating wha
"Is that all?" Yang Jian blinked in disbelief. He asked Chang Er, "Then how would Your Highness explain these words on the jade platform?" Chang Er was so angry that she stopped in her tracks. "I told you, I don't know! I don't know!" 'Is Yang Jian crazy? Why would he insist that I caused my husband's death? Phew! Yang Jian took a deep breath and shook his head. "If that's the case, then I'm sorry, Your Highness. I have the right to detain you in prison while we investigate this matter." Yang Jian glanced around the room; he looked like he was filled with evil spirits—his cold voice permeated the room. "The law must be obeyed, nonetheless. His Majesty's death is a significant matter. We have all received grace from His Majesty, so all of you must support my decision. Having received the grace from His Majesty in the past, you must be clear and support my decision. I'll kill whoever disobeys my command!" Buzz! In his last sentence, a powerful breath of aura broke out
Hiss! Everyone gasped! That was Grandmaster Erlang's real strength! Those who wanted to stand up and speak for Chang Er held their breath fearfully. "Lady Chang Er, I—" E Lai looked miserable; he gaped at Chang Er. He had failed as a personal guard to keep the Empress safe—he was incompetent. The more E Lai thought about it, the angrier he got. The bad emotion was not good for him. He fainted as everything around him turned dark. "Yang Jian!" Chang Er's pretty face turned somber as she scolded Yang Jian. "How dare you do that to E Lai! Do you still respect me? Well, you want to imprison me for your investigation, right? Let's see if you have the ability to do that!" Crack! A sword appeared in Chang Er's hand, accompanied by a crisp sound. The sword had a brilliant luster. Its blade was about one meter and one inch long, and it dazzled like the stars and moon. It was Chang Er's personal weapon—Star and Moon Sword! That weapon's primary material was rumored to be a
Silence! At that moment, the crowd was silent as they watched the guards take Chang Er away; one could even hear the pin if it were to drop to the ground.Even though Yang Jian was the Grandmaster Erlang and had high status, he was still only an official. He had overstepped his authority and arrested Lady Chang Er—it was a little inappropriate.However, Emperor Hou Yi’s death was too strange. He had carved Lady Chang Er and Zhu Bajie’s names on the jade platform before his death.So, Yang Jian had been impartial, stern, and just when he arrested Chang Er.“Everyone!” Yang Jian kept his Tri-point Double-edged Saber with him as he scanned his surroundings. “Even though His Majesty is dead, the North Moana continent cannot go a day without a leader. Let’s discuss and pick a wise man to take over the throne temporarily to stabilize the situation!” Wow! The entire crowd erupted into a heated discussion.Yang Jian was right. Emperor Hou Yi had ruled the North Moana continent for
Darryl knew that it was the biggest lie he had ever told. However, he had no choice. Emperor Hou Yi’s death was not a small matter. If he were to admit that, he was sure that Celine, Queenie, and he would be buried with the previous emperor. It might even affect those in the World Universe too.However, Yang Jian did not bother with him. He waved his hands and signaled for the guards to take Darryl, Celine, and Queenie away.Soon, the guards brought the three of them to the prison.Gasp! When they entered the prison, Darryl gasped when he saw the scene in front of him! Many guards in armor and with a long saber surrounded the prison. It looked like the prison was heavily guarded; even a fly would not be able to enter it.Darryl was almost in tears—with so many guards, he might not have a chance to escape! “Darryl!” Queenie was extremely nervous. She asked lightly, “What should we do?” There were so many guards, and they looked quite strong as well. Even if she and Celine
