Chapter 1167: It’s You Again?
The conversation between Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable and Jiang Cheng was incomprehensible to the others.
What day? What Reception Department? What Memorial?
They were completely baffled.
However, Yan Yi was able to understand, and even fully guessed what was happening.
Thus, she expressed her shock.
Looking at Jiang Cheng, it was as if she had seen a ghost.
You just managed to pull a fast one out of nothing?
Without any leverage, you dared to make all those demands and have Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable comply?
And you acted as if it was all true!
"How did you manage to do it without blushing or showing any sign of panic?"
The self-proclaimed evil Princess of the Evil Immortal Realm was almost impressed.
"Even the Evil Immortal Realm probably doesn’t have a top-grade like you."
Brother Cheng only thought she was mocking him and couldn’t be bothered to respond.
He merely looked at Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable in surprise, expressing his confusion.
"When did I ever trick you?"
"You still dare to argue!"
Seeing him act so innocently, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable grew even angrier.
"You clearly didn’t have that day’s Memorial, yet you dared to threaten me..."
Jiang Cheng had to interrupt him.
"I never said I had that day’s Memorial, it was you who assumed that, who can you blame?"
He seized the opportunity and still felt satisfied about the ease of it all.
"I was curious, I only took out a normal Memorial Immortal Artifact, why did you react so strongly?"
"Hey, you really can’t blame me for it, if there’s blame, it’s on you for overthinking."
"But isn’t the result good now? Our people were rescued, and you showed your fairness as a senior, isn’t it a big happy ending for all?"
"A big happy ending for your whole family..."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable was so furious he cursed on the spot.
He couldn’t contain his anger anymore.
"I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!"
Brother Cheng was too lazy to draw his sword or dodge.
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s sword stopped just before touching him.
The Origin also stopped.
He couldn’t kill Jiang Cheng, because he recalled the words spoken by several Divine Monarchs that day.
This guy, for some unknown reason, even the Divine Monarchs couldn’t kill him.
Whoever kills him is doomed.
"You just wait!"
His anger was uncontainable, suffocating him.
In the end, he could only drop these dry threats, unable to harm Jiang Cheng one bit.
Seeing this, even Taiheng, Liuyuan, and others were amazed.
They could understand respecting Sect Leader Jiang as old acquaintances.
Why does Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable, with such a bad temper and clear disadvantage, seem unable to handle Jiang Cheng?
For a moment, Sect Leader Jiang’s image in their minds became even more imposing.
At this moment, a large group of people flew in from afar.
Everyone took a good look and almost screamed in shock.
"Prince Yi!"
"King Shi!"
"Law Enforcement Department!"
"Divine Thunder Bureau..."
"Oh my, why did so many powerful figures suddenly arrive?"
Jin Pi, Zhengxu, Liuyuan, Qing Huan—all were stunned.
"It should be because Bi Ying was killed, alerting the Law Enforcement Department, right?"
All Immortal Officials are registered and documented.
Whenever an Immortal Official is killed, the Law Enforcement Department discovers it quickly and rushes to the scene to investigate.
"But it should only be the Law Enforcement Department coming, why have Prince Yi, King Shi, and Divine Thunder Bureau all shown up?"
"This shouldn’t have alarmed them, right?"
What they didn’t know was that the Law Enforcement Department had almost reached an uproar during this period.
Last time, Venerable Shang Lian was killed by Jiang Cheng.
Daoist Venerable Feng Lin not only didn’t convict anyone but even detained Hei Ting Daoist Venerable from the Divine Thunder Bureau and his people.
This incident caused a huge sensation.
The Chief of the Divine Thunder Bureau is Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, the Second-Grade Immortal Official.
This veteran Daoist Venerable, in terms of combat ability, is above Feng Lin and Yu Jin, among the top-level strong Daoist Venerables.
His status in the Celestial Palace is second only to the Divine Monarchs.
After such an incident, this Chief Immortal Officer immediately charged into the Law Enforcement Department.
This action had a major impact, even leading King Shi and Prince Yi along with several Divine Monarchs to come forward to mediate.
Hei Ting Daoist Venerable and his people were innocent, so naturally, they were released.
But this didn’t mean Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was satisfied.
"I don’t care about anything else, but that Jiang Cheng must die!"
He didn’t go to the Reception Department that day, so he didn’t know Jiang Cheng was revered as the ’Hidden Emperor’ and couldn’t die for ten thousand years.
"He killed Venerable Shang Lian and arbitrarily executed an Immortal Official, how can he be kept alive?"
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable’s voice shook the house, filled with emotion.
"Isn’t it just a lack of evidence?" King Shi casually said.
"Without evidence, don’t arrest anyone, such words can’t be thrown around carelessly."
The just-released Hei Ting Daoist Venerable was also upset and shouted.
"How can there be no evidence, there clearly are witnesses..."
"Your witnesses are invalid."
Prince Yi coldly interrupted him.
"This matter ends here, no one is allowed to oppress or retaliate against Jiang Cheng, let alone harm his life."
"Anyone who violates the order will be executed immediately, even if they’re a Daoist Venerable!"
While saying this, his eyes were fixed on Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, indicating obvious warning.
"I don’t agree!"
As a Chief Officer, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable did have some sway.
"Feng Lin is clearly partial towards that Jiang Cheng, he must be in collusion with him!"
"Now, you all are covering for him, why?"
"What is Jiang Cheng’s background, what’s his origin?"
"We at the Divine Thunder Bureau won’t rest until this is thoroughly investigated!"
"If necessary, we won’t hesitate to bring it to the Celestial Emperor!"
His uproar caused even the Divine Monarchs to be quite distressed.
Thinking it was Jiang Cheng who caused this mess, they almost wished to drag him over and beat him up.
And as they quarreled endlessly, news reached the Law Enforcement Department of Celestial Venerable Bi Ying’s death.
"Another Fifth-Grade Immortal Official killed?"
"And a precious Sixth-grade Emperor Alchemist?"
"Outrageous!"
King Shi and Prince Yi among the Divine Monarchs were instantly enraged.
Damned, Jiang Cheng killed an Immortal Official, fine, but someone dared to imitate him?
"Simply unforgivable!"
"Let’s go take a look!"
With that, not only did the Chief Supervisor King Lv of the Law Enforcement Department personally set out, King Shi, Prince Yi, and Fan Lei Daoist Venerable of the Divine Thunder Bureau also all rushed over together.
This caused the scene where the Celestial Pill Department was receiving a bunch of big people.
"Greetings, Divine Monarchs!"
"Welcome, Divine Monarchs!"
Although the status of Pill Masters is quite extraordinary, they still had to show courtesy in front of Divine Monarchs.
But King Lv, King Shi, Prince Yi, and the others weren’t in the mood to pay attention to anyone else.
Upon arrival here, they first noticed Celestial Venerable Bi Ying.
And the second thing they saw was Jiang Cheng.
Immediately, these several Divine Monarchs couldn’t manage their expressions.
Damn it, it’s you again?
Why are you everywhere?
"You damned thing, it’s you again?"
King Shi truly couldn’t suppress his anger!
The scandal of the Divine Thunder Bureau’s Venerable Shang Lian’s murder hasn’t even been cleaned up yet.
This troublemaker, how quickly have you caused new trouble?
