Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 364 Union
"Global wanted!?"

Che Xuan then asked, "Martial Saint Ji, what happened? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"As soon as I arrived at Demon Suppression Valley, I was attacked. Moreover, it was a group of commander-level powerhouses who were poised to launch a coordinated attack. How do you think they knew in advance that I was going to cross the barrier and arrive at Demon Suppression Valley?"

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he sneered, "Fortunately, compared to those people from the Northern Kingdom, my strength is obviously more valued by the Holy Realm people of Zhenmo Valley. After some friendly exchanges, they have told me that the one who leaked the information was Raymond!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the martial saints changed simultaneously.

"Raymond, along with the Northern United States, has long been secretly colluding with the Holy Realm Clan of Zhenmo Valley, sacrificing the interests of the Crimson Star Clan and weakening their overall strength in exchange for greater support from Zhenmo Valley!"

After Ji Fuyou finished speaking, he said in an unquestionable tone, "Raymond must die! The Northern United States must pay the price for their actions of betraying the interests of Red Star! I will personally carry out this severe punishment!"

Upon hearing this, Che Xuan quickly said, "Martial Saint Ji, could there be some mistake? How could Martial Saint Lei do such a thing?"

"How could the information I personally gathered be false!?"

Ji Fuyou suddenly waved his hand.

In reality, the fact that the Holy Realm Clan ambushed him at the Demon Suppression Valley must mean they were colluding with the various countries of Crimson Star, but he couldn't confirm who exactly they were.

but……

Raymond, upon being summoned, had already vanished without a trace, which was tantamount to admitting his guilt without being asked.

The rest is easy.

As for the evidence?

He's already at the top of Red Star, so why would he need to rely on evidence when he does things?

Or, as he said, the information he "found out" is evidence.

"Block the area within a ten-kilometer radius of the entrance to Demon Suppression Valley! No one is allowed to approach this area without my permission. Otherwise, I will find it hard not to suspect that they are colluding with Demon Suppression Valley. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ji Fuyou gave the order directly to Xiao Juechen.

Separated by the barrier, news from the people of Zhenmo Valley could only travel up to one kilometer away.

Ten kilometers, which can be considered foolproof.

Of course, the main reason is that if the area were any larger, Xiao Juechen, Qin Zhenguo, and a group of spiritual masters and martial arts masters would not be able to keep watch.

"Martial Saint Ji..."

Che Xuan wanted to say something more.

Ji Fuyou's gaze fell directly on him, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "You have one hour to pack your things. After one hour, no one is allowed to be within ten kilometers of the entrance to Zhenmo Valley without permission. Otherwise, I will personally take action and throw you out."

"Does Ji Wusheng want to monopolize the Demon Suppression Valley? Isn't that a bit too domineering?"

Linton said with dissatisfaction.

"Ji Wusheng, don't be impulsive. Whether it's our families going against each other or trying to convict Raymond, it might all be the Holy Realm Clan of Zhenmo Valley sowing discord, with the aim of making our Red Star fight amongst ourselves. If that's the case, what we're doing now will undoubtedly hurt our friends and please our enemies."

As Che Xuan spoke, he immediately said, "I think we should hold a meeting, sit down together and talk things over, and make a long-term plan."

"As you said, the Holy Realm Clan is sowing discord and trying to make our Crimson Star fight amongst ourselves. This shows that the Holy Realm Clan are enemies, not friends. Therefore, we must not have any more contact with them. Sealing off the entrance to Demon Suppression Valley is imperative."

Ji Fuyou remained unyielding: "As for Raymond, I'll give him three hours. If he comes out on his own within three hours, confesses, and gives me a chance to reform, then I'll give him a chance! Once the three hours are over, it will be confirmed that he fled to avoid punishment, and his crime is unforgivable!"

"Three hours? Communication between the mist and the outside world is poor. It's unlikely that Martial Saint Raymond will be able to get here in three hours."

Linton also spoke up for Raymond: "Most Martial Saints often need ten days to half a month to cultivate deep in the mist... How about we set the time for half a month later?"

Ji Fuyou's strength forced these three martial saints to secretly unite.

“Three hours is the greatest sincerity I can offer. I will wait for him here. Once the time is up and the arrest warrant is issued, I will personally go to the capital of the United States of the North to demand his release.”

After Ji Fuyou finished speaking, he didn't give Linton and Che Xuan time to speak. He turned around and sat down in the courtyard of the manor where Raymond used to live.

Che Xuan and Lin Dun exchanged a glance, then turned their attention to Xiao Juechen: "Martial Saint Xiao, please help us persuade Martial Saint Ji..."

"I can't help it."

Xiao Juechen said in a deep voice, "If it were you, and you were betrayed by your own people and almost killed by concentrated fire, could you swallow this insult?"

As he spoke, he sneered, "Why don't you try letting Ji Wusheng launch a sneak attack? Maybe that will vent his anger and prevent him from forcing Raymond to show himself."

Upon hearing this, Che Xuan and Lin Dun both turned pale and quickly waved their hands, saying, "Sword Saint Xiao, this kind of joke is not funny at all."

"Sigh, we are also considering the unity within Red Star. The attitude of these alien races in Demon Suppression Valley is unclear, and it is really not easy for us to fight among ourselves."

Just kidding, they wouldn't stand a chance against Ji Fuyou in a head-on confrontation. If he were to launch a sneak attack, they probably wouldn't know what death means.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Ji Fuyou, the two Martial Saints quickly contacted other Martial Saints within their respective countries to discuss a solution to the matter.

……

On the other hand, Ji Fuyou giving these people three hours was certainly not out of kindness.

In order to make the countries of Red Star behave themselves, it is necessary to make an example of them.

The Northern Union, which is not one of the three great civilizations, is obviously the most suitable target.

These three hours will allow the experts of the Northern United States to unite and ensure that the effect of making an example of someone will be maximized.

on the other hand……

It will take Fang Qiyun some time to send over the detection compass.

He said he was going to the capital of the United States of America to demand people, which was more of a threat than a practical matter.

Raymond could not possibly be hiding in the capital of the United States of America.

Given the intelligence capabilities of various countries, it's only a matter of time before he's discovered, no matter where he hides.

Raymond's most likely hiding place is somewhere in the fog.

To find him out of the fog, we need to rely on the power of the detection compass.

……

Time passed quickly, and three hours went by. Ji Fuyou was unaware of what had happened outside during those three hours, but Fang Qiyun rushed over with a compass.

"Captain, do you need help?"

Fang Qiyun handed him the detection compass.

"Need not."

Ji Fuyou took out a cup and placed it on the compass, handing him the acquired spirit he had brought from the Mountain and Sea Realm: "Clear out a special place to feed these little guys, and also..."

He took out the heart of the thousand-year-old tree demon: "This is a new base station in the Void God Realm, specially prepared for these little guys. When it is activated, the power of the Void God Realm will envelop these little guys, observe and record all their words and deeds. You just need to make sure that no one disturbs them, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

"clear."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "I'll leave it at Fulong Mountain."

"can."

Ji Fuyou responded.

He added, "There might be some turmoil in the coming period. You and Lu Xingchen should keep an eye on Yunjing Garden and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Okay, leave it to us."

Fang Qiyun solemnly agreed.

She then asked, "Is the situation very serious? Should we... move everyone to Cloud Peak in Tiandu City? Tiandu City's defenses are undoubtedly much more comprehensive than those of Starlight City."

"Tian Du City..."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment.

This is undeniable.

In fact, there are far more military bases around Tiandu City.

If the situation truly deteriorates to the point of mutual destruction, the missile interception systems at all major bases in Tiandu City will be able to intercept even more missiles.

However, Ji Fuyou quickly dismissed the idea.

On the one hand, the situation has not yet developed to that point, on the other hand...

Compared to Tiandu City, he prefers to make Xingguang City and Chiyang City his base.

"Never mind, but go and tell Yang Kaitai and Song Lingxiao to strengthen the defenses in Xingguang City, especially the Yunjingyuan area."

Ji Fuyou said, "At the very least, modern military weapons should be able to provide easy defense."

"understand!"

Fang Qiyun nodded in agreement.

Ji Fuyou was about to say something more when he sensed that Che Xuan, Lin Dun, Xiao Juechen, and the others who had left earlier had reappeared outside the courtyard.

Accompanying them was a somewhat unfamiliar martial arts master.

However, after carefully comparing the information he had read, Ji Fuyou guessed his identity.

Terry.

The number one expert in the Northern United States.

Ji Fuyou sensed the fluctuations of life force emanating from him...

It's already reached 22%!
It has reached the level that Lin Lun was at when he was alive!

After they arrived outside the courtyard, Xiao Juechen came forward to inform them.

Only after Ji Fuyou gave his permission did these people enter the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, their eyes immediately fell on the detection compass in Ji Fuyou's hand.

Neither Che Xuan nor Lin Dun spoke, but Terry stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, “Martial Saint Ji, I have heard about the conflict between you and Martial Saint Raymond of our country. I also believe that there must be a misunderstanding. I sincerely hope that we can clear up this misunderstanding. In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to offer one golden physique source crystal and five purple physique source crystals.”

Clearly, this means they're going to back down and apologize.

They even brought out the golden source crystal, which shows their sincerity.

Meanwhile, Che Xuan and Lin Dun spoke up at the opportune moment: "Martial Saint Ji, we are all top figures in Red Star. If there are any conflicts, we can discuss them and talk them out. Why make things so serious? If Raymond really made a mistake, we should make him apologize. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester, don't you think?"

"Oh."

Ji Fuyou looked at the two of them: "Black Gold and Griffin want to interfere in Raymond's... or rather, the affairs of the Northern United States?"

"We just don't want things to get out of hand at this critical moment when we have a formidable enemy. The Heavenly Ranking War is approaching, and we need to prioritize. Ji Wusheng should focus on the Heavenly Ranking War. If there are any mishaps because of Raymond, the entire Shang Dynasty will suffer."

Che Xuan and Lin Dun both adopted an attitude of advising Ji Fuyou to prioritize the overall situation.

Looking at the three parties already standing together, Ji Fuyou understood that his methods were too drastic and his actions too domineering, making these martial saints feel a sense of impending doom.

In fact, if given enough time, Ji Fuyou wouldn't mind taking things one step at a time, slowly boiling the frog in lukewarm water.

pity……

Red Star's future is down to three years.

Time waits for no one.

I glanced at the red line displayed on the compass...

Raymond was indeed hiding in the Misty Forbidden Land, and hadn't even left the Misty Forest; he was simply located at the other end of the forest.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou stood up.

"Further words are useless, Raymond. He must pay the price for his actions. No one can save him, I said it!"

He said in an unquestionable tone, "If you think Raymond doesn't deserve to die, feel free to try and see if the three martial saints of the three kingdoms can stop me by joining forces!"
