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
“Lady Chang Er!” When the guard saw the changes in her expressions, he said cautiously, “Grandmaster Erlang has been a loyal subject. He never wanted to become the Emperor, but when His Majesty passed away, the empire will be in a mess. We need someone to stabilize the situation. So—” He was Yang Jian’s confidante. So, he wanted to explain the situation.However, before he could finish his sentence, Chang Er interrupted him.“Leave! I don’t want to listen to this!” she said coldly as her body trembled.The guard did not dare say anything more. He responded and was about to leave the prison cell.“Hold on!” However, right at that moment, Chang Er seemed to have thought of something. She pointed at Darryl and the other two women. She said coldly, “Take these three peasants away as well!” She was Lady Chang Er, and she was of high status. How could she be locked up with three ordinary folks? It was too humiliating.‘Peasants?’ Darryl was displeased when he heard that, but he
Chang Er sneered snobbishly when she heard that. Her eyes looked at them condescendingly. "You're just a mere peasant. What right do you have to talk to me about respect?" Then, Chang Er spoke with an unquestionably, determined tone. "I'll say it once more. I make the rules here. If I do not allow any of you to rest here, then none of you can rest here."The next moment, Darryl's expression changed. He was unspeakably livid.'Yes, you are Chang Er, but so what? You are just like the rest of us; we're all in prison. It's one thing to disrespect us, but you treat us like your servants. Do you really think that you're still in your pretty bed-chamber?' The more Darryl thought it, the angrier he got. In the end, he laid down."My, my, my! Even though it's only made of hay, it's quite comfortable as well!" Darryl sighed and pretended to be comfortable. At the same time, he paid attention to Chang Er's reaction.Darryl did not want to go against Chang Er, but she had crossed the line
At that moment, Valley Master Venus Steward sat in the Forgotten Valley’s main hall. She was in a tightly-fitted long white dress. Her alluring figure looked extremely attractive!A dozen disciples stood on both sides of the hall; they looked somber. “Master!” Suddenly, a man walked into the hall hurriedly. He had a scholarly, elegant aura and a smile on his face. It was Yumi’s good friend—James Kant! James Kant had dressed up like any other ordinary cultivator, but he was actually a member of the Forgotten Valley. He also had a unique identity—he was one of the five elders there.“James!”When Venus saw him, she said, “I asked you to go outside and gather news about the outside world; what did you find out?”The Forgotten Valley had always wanted to transcend the world since more than a thousand years ago. They had never interacted with the outside world. However, they started to change their mind ever since the Nine Mainland’s enchanted barrier had vanished.That was espec
