Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

"No, absolutely not, sir, please don't misunderstand. I have absolutely no relationship with that kid."

After witnessing Ji Qing's methods, Elder Gu immediately severed ties with Zhao Jiu.

They were afraid that if they spoke too slowly, Ji Qing would find something to use against them.

Seeing Elder Gu's reaction, Ji Qing sneered but remained silent.

After the great calamity on Kui Xing Island, Elder Gu betrayed them.

During the subsequent pursuit of Han Li, he was killed by Han Li, and all his treasures fell into Han Li's hands.

Before witnessing his abilities, Elder Gu had always spoken up for Zhao Jiu.

Therefore, he did not believe that there was no connection between the two.

Ji Qing made a bold guess.

This so-called Elder Zhao is probably also a member of the resistance against the Star Palace.

He may be secretly lurking now.

They are just waiting for the day when the "Reverse Star Alliance" rises up in rebellion.

"Hehe, just wait and see."

As long as you dare to give yourself away.

"I will certainly wipe you all out in one fell swoop," Ji Qing thought to himself, his eyes icy cold.

Seeing Ji Qing's expression, Elder Miao felt quite helpless.

It's truly unexpected that something like this would happen when all we were watching was a demon-suppressing ceremony.

Now that you've disgusted the two adults, you can forget about having a good time from now on.

"Bitterness, suffering."

"Let's go. Today I want to see what this so-called Zhao Jiu is all about."

To dare act like this right under the nose of the Star Palace is truly audacious.

After Ling Yuling finished speaking, she turned to look at Ji Qing:

"Subordinate Ji, let's go."

"Yes."

Ji Qing cupped his hands in greeting to Ling Yuling, and then followed Ling Yuling away.

"Brother Gu, how could you be so foolish!"

You're really... sigh, never mind.

Elder Miao pointed directly at Elder Gu, feeling extremely aggrieved.

He wanted to say something harsh, but remembering their years of friendship, he sighed helplessly and then set off to follow.

Elder Gu hesitated, but then, as if remembering something, his eyes turned icy cold.

"Hmph, these two damned bastards, when Senior Jiyin arrives, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

...........

And so, after this incident...

Ji Qing walked through the corridors and soon arrived at the elders' viewing area.

"Who are you, and why are you doing this to me?"

"Do you even know who my father is? Let me go!" Zhao Jiu struggled fiercely, her face filled with terror.

He was watching the battle peacefully when suddenly two Core Formation cultivators appeared in the sky, startling him. Before he could react, he was subdued by the two Core Formation cultivators.

Zhao Jiu was furious.

As Elder Zhao's only son, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation?

He wanted to hurl insults, but lacked the confidence to do so.

So he thought about it and decided against it.

The reason is simple: these two old guys' cultivation levels are just too high.

Both are in the late stage of Core Formation.

All they have to do is move their fingers.

That would be enough to kill him hundreds of times over.

Zhao Jiu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Seniors, can't you talk things out properly? Why do you have to humiliate me like this?"

My father is the island lord of Kuiling Island, a core member of the Star Palace, and also a disciple of the Sixth Elder.

You captured me without saying a word. Aren't you afraid of the Star Palace's revenge?

Or... do you want treasure?

"If you two seniors want the treasure, then just ask, and I'll have my father fetch it right away. Now, please release me."

Upon hearing this, Old Tang was so angry he laughed.

Even at this point, you're still thinking about bribing them?

As for his father being a disciple of Zhenhai Zhenren, nobody would believe that.

They had followed Elder Jin Kui for many years and served as his subordinates for just as long.

If Zhenhai Zhenren had such a disciple, how could they not know?

"Boy, stop struggling. You've violated the laws of the Star Palace. Just accept your punishment."

If you spout any more nonsense, I'll definitely show you what I'm made of.

Zhao Jiu was speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"What should I do? What should I do? Who can save me?"

Zhao Jiu was terrified, her face filled with helplessness.

However, at that moment, with a creak, the door was suddenly opened, and Ji Qing and the others suddenly appeared there.

Upon seeing Elder Gu, Zhao Jiu was overjoyed and immediately tried to grasp at this lifeline:

"Elder Gu, save me! These people captured me without saying a word. As a disciple of the Star Palace, they are challenging the dignity of the Star Palace! I beg you..."

Before Zhao Jiu could finish speaking, Elder Gu interrupted him sharply. Elder Gu moved with lightning speed, appearing in front of Zhao Jiu and slapping him across the face.

Zhao Jiu was beaten half to death, several of his teeth were knocked out, and he looked utterly miserable.

"I don't know you, so don't point fingers at people."

Elder Gu hurriedly came to Ji Qing's side, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Excellency is wise; I do not know this person at all."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing let out a cold laugh, his face full of disdain.

Elder Gu had been speaking up for Zhao Jiu all along.

Why do you look like I don't recognize you now?

That's a really fast change of expression.

Ji Qing ignored Elder Gu and turned around to greet Ling Yuling with a cupped-hand salute.

"Young Master, this is Zhao Jiu. Please make the decision."

"it is good."

Ling Yuling nodded slightly, then got up and sat down in front of the chair, waving to Old Tang.

Old Tang gestured and kicked Zhao Jiu over, causing Zhao Jiu to fall flat on his face.

"To satisfy one's own selfish desires, you abused your power, secretly manipulated the replacement of the demonic beasts with level five ones, and wantonly slaughtered human cultivators. Do you admit to this crime?"

After saying that, Ling Yuling's eyes turned cold:

"To tell you the truth."

When Zhao Jiu saw the law enforcement badge on Ling Yuling's shoulder, he immediately felt utterly despondent, his former arrogance completely gone.

Even if he was incredibly stupid, he still noticed something was wrong.

Elder Gu was extremely respectful in front of this person.

The two Core Formation cultivators standing behind him were completely obedient to this person.

Based on all of this, he immediately deduced that this person's status in the Star Palace was definitely not low.

Zhao Jiu struggled with her mind for a moment, but ultimately resigned herself to her fate.

"I admit it."

"Well, it's good that you've accepted it."

After saying that, at Ling Yuling's command, two white-robed cultivators stepped forward and took Zhao Jiu into the prison.

"big……."

Elder Miao swallowed his words halfway through.

He never expected things to develop to this point.

His simplest idea at first was just to take the two adults to watch the Demon Suppression Ceremony.

He didn't mean anything by it.

"Oh dear, what should I do now?"

Just as Elder Miao was thinking about what to do next, a hearty laugh rang out, and a dazzling blue beam of light suddenly shot toward them at incredible speed.

"My dear nephew, why didn't you give me a heads-up before you arrived?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light slowly receded, revealing the figure of Zhenhai Zhenren.
