"Don't spout nonsense if you don't have evidence. I'm not a person without a temper. I came to the Sea Race to form an alliance, but it seems that the Sea Race doesn't have this intention. Since that's the case, it seems that there's no point for me to stay here. Six Sea Emperors, I thank your Sea Race's Fengshui Treasure Land for me to successfully advance. However, as the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
Although they had their suspicions, no one had any proof. Moreover, Long Chen's words made sense. Who would dare to run around and fight with others when the Samsara Tribulation was about to arrive? Wouldn't that be courting death?
Without evidence, there was no way to convince the world.
If Long Chen left now, the result would be that the Sea Race would be mocked by the world once again because of their timidity, suspicion, and fear. This was a matter of face. There were only three days left before the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony was about to be held. Long Chen would leave this place safely, so the six Ocean Emperors naturally wouldn't force him away at this time.
Therefore, Emperor Xi Yao was the first to smile and say, "Little Brother Long Chen, please wait. Please listen to me."
Long Chen turned around and smiled, "Emperor Xi Yao, feel free to speak."
To our Sea Clan, it is more of a symbol, just like the position of the Black Jade Dragon Head in your Human Clan. Of course, you do not wish for outsiders to tarnish it, and of course, you are not afraid that it will be stolen. Of course, our Sea Clan is the same, so whoever touches the Karma Holy Stone, it is not a big deal. From now on, we will no longer investigate this matter. Furthermore, I have personally witnessed how grand your Samsara Tribulation is, and once you are not prepared, the consequences will be miserable, and the intensity is almost equivalent to the Nine Palaces Tribulation, so I believe that you are preparing to transcend the tribulation, so on behalf of my clan, I sincerely apologize to you, hoping that you can forgive me. "
With Emperor Xi Yao's identity, saying these words was definitely giving Long Chen face.
Of course, he didn't want to leave, and what he was waiting for was Emperor Xi Yao's words. Now that he had a step down, of course, he immediately stepped down and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine as long as it's clear. I was too emotional just now, and my words were a bit excessive.
This way, everyone would be happy.
Long Chen knew that the six Ocean Emperors knew that it was very likely that the person was him, so they would keep an eye on Long Chen and not let him get close to the Karma Sacred Stone. However, at the very least, Long Chen still had a chance, especially now that his strength had increased again and he had more capital.
At this time, the six Ocean Emperors had already ordered the spectators to disperse. At this moment, the peerless beauty Liu Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly waved her hand and said, "Wait, there's one more thing that needs to be resolved."
Everyone stopped in their tracks in confusion. This Seventh Emperor, the Demon Blue Emperor, wanted to say something.
Liu Ji didn't look at Long Chen, as if she wasn't targeting him. She said to herself, "In the past few days, who has seen Gao Yang guarding the forbidden realm?"
Hundreds of thousands of Merfolk looked at each other. Only warriors with demigod bodies could come into contact with Gao Yang's level. However, most of them shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't seen him.
"The last time I saw him was about ten days ago."
After summarizing everyone's words, Liu Ji said, "It seems that Gao Yang should have disappeared, or even been killed. Furthermore, he was guarding the forbidden realm."
Hearing this news, the Merfolk were naturally furious.
"What? Killed?"
"This is an expert with a demigod body, an existence equivalent to a demigod. Who can kill him? Who can kill such an important figure of our Merfolk in this place?"
At this moment, everyone looked suspiciously at Long Chen. This was something that had happened after Long Chen had arrived. They couldn't help but be suspicious.
Liu Ji smiled coldly and said, "Everyone, this matter shouldn't have anything to do with Long Chen. Do not suspect him. However, I have some clues."
The Sea God Emperor's gaze was cold. He said, "Speak directly."
After obtaining his permission, Liu Ji looked at her husband Chen Xingyao with a smile. Then, she said expressionlessly, "I made a great effort to tell you this clue. My comrades guarding the forbidden realm should know that a few days ago, Chen Xingyao entered the forbidden realm. He originally did not have the qualifications to enter the forbidden realm, but he claimed that I let him enter the Sea God Pavilion to take something and deceived the guards. In the end, I discovered him and chased him out of the forbidden realm. But the problem is that from that day on, Gao Yang seemed to have mysteriously disappeared. Although Chen Xingyao is my husband, this matter is very important. So I must ask you, do you know if you killed Gao Yang?"
Finally, her gaze turned to Chen Xingyao.
In the beginning, she had indeed thought that Chen Xingyao had only gone to see the Three Lives Divine Stone.
But connecting it to today's matter, she had more or less guessed it. Of course, Chen Xingyao didn't have the ability to kill Gao Yang without making any noise. Only Long Chen could. So that time, Long Chen must have been hiding in his Divine Kingdom.
She really hadn't thought that Chen Xingyao would be so bold as to actually stand on Long Chen's side and help Long Chen. All along, Liu Ji had believed that the other had something on her, so she had been loyal to her. But she hadn't thought that Chen Xingyao would dare to betray her so openly.
So she was very angry in her heart.
Now, she wanted to threaten and pressure Chen Xingyao into personally confessing to Long Chen. With conclusive evidence, even if the six Ocean Emperors captured Long Chen now, the Dragon Divine Region and the people of the world would have nothing to say.
All the pressure was on Chen Xingyao.
Seeing Liu Ji's venomous gaze, Chen Xingyao knew what she wanted him to do.
Long Chen was the person who had freed him completely. Of course, he wouldn't betray Long Chen because of this.
And the others were also watching this scene in a daze. In their opinion, Chen Xingyao and Liu Ji should be in love with each other. But this time, Liu Ji had directly stood up to target Chen Xingyao. It was clearly an act of righteousness before family. For a moment, everyone was very moved. Moreover, there were many people in the Sea Race who didn't like Chen Xingyao.
"Chen Xingyao, hurry up and explain. What is your goal in entering the Forbidden Region? Did you kill Gao Yang?"
"Even if you didn't kill him, you can't escape responsibility. If you don't explain yourself today, don't even think about leaving this place."
For a moment, countless fiery gazes stared at Chen Xingyao.
However, Chen Xingyao was a person who had experienced great storms and waves. He wasn't frightened. He calmly said, "Liu Ji, I've already told you. I've heard many rumors about the Three Lives Divine Stone. I have boundless respect for this divine stone. That day, I sneaked in just to pray for us in front of the Three Lives Divine Stone, hoping that we can grow old together. I was so sincere. Why are you so suspicious of me?"
At least for now, in the eyes of outsiders, they were still husband and wife. Chen Xingyao could only say this.
"Bullshit. Do you think you can escape suspicion by saying this? Chen Xingyao, you better be tactful. Otherwise, no matter what you beg of me in the future, I won't agree. At that time, it will be too late for regrets."
Liu Ji didn't want to force Chen Xingyao, nor did she want to ruin their deal. Her goal was very clear. She just wanted Chen Xingyao to identify Long Chen. She thought that while Chen Xingyao was willing to help Long Chen, it was only out of a sense of honor for his race. In front of the life of his lover, this shouldn't be able to withstand a single blow.
She believed that for his lover, Chen Xingyao would definitely make a choice. There was no need to fight to the death for an outsider.
Under her urging, Chen Xingyao remained indifferent.
Liu Ji would never have thought that Long Chen had already completely cured his woman. The reason he was still in Vast Sea Imperial City was just to help Long Chen.
At this time, Chen Xingyao said, "I'll say it again. That time, I entered the Forbidden Region only to pray for blessings. While I married you, a member of the Sea Race, I did not have equal status with you. I just wanted to see the Three Lives Divine Stone that symbolizes love. I didn't encounter any Gao Yang."
His insistence was beyond Liu Ji's expectations.
Liu Ji originally thought that victory was within her grasp.
This directly caused her to descend into a state of rage. The snake-bone whip with almost 900 dao patterns instantly appeared in her hand. Under Liu Ji's control, the black whip lashed at Chen Xingyao.
No one expected Liu Ji to have such a fiery temper. She actually attacked her husband directly. At this moment, everyone hurriedly dodged, afraid that they would be affected by Liu Ji's anger.
Of course, for someone like Chen Xingyao, even if he was beaten half to death, he would not follow Liu Ji's wishes and reveal anything about Long Chen.
This daring man made Long Chen respect him from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, Long Chen wouldn't let Chen Xingyao get injured at this time. When the whip lashed at Chen Xingyao, a figure instantly appeared in front of Chen Xingyao. The figure swung a gray longsword in his hand and directly sent the whip flying. Liu Ji also took a step back.
Only then did everyone realize that the person who had attacked was actually Long Chen.
Being able to block the opponent's attack so easily was enough to prove that he was much stronger than last time.
Even Liu Ji herself had a feeling that she had met her match.
Her expression darkened as she said coldly, "Long Chen, what is the meaning of this? Are you admitting that you are Gao Yang's murderer?"
