There was nothing special about the black-robed old man. He was old-fashioned and serious, like a mean old man.
That being said, his serious and bitter face was like that of the King of Hell in many people's eyes.
Lord Li, King of Hell!
He was the supervisor of the Celestial Emperor Sect, one of the 10 most powerful people in the Celestial Emperor Sect. To a certain extent, he could represent the Celestial Emperor Sect. His words were the will of the entire Celestial Emperor Sect.
Lord Li's responsibility was to supervise the entire Celestial Emperor Sect. This was not something he should be involved in. Normally, he would not show up.
But today, of all people, he showed up. As soon as he showed up, he was on Lu Li's side. His words were arrogant and he didn't show any respect.
It was as if the Guan Family was not a wealthy family and had nothing to do with the Celestial Emperor Sect.
If it were someone else, such as Emperor Rui or Emperor Heng, no one would take it seriously.
However, Lord Li was different. His words caused the atmosphere to freeze. Many people did not even dare to breathe loudly.
That being said, the disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect were thrilled. Lord Li's assertiveness made them feel proud to be disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect and the dominance of the most powerful sect in the world.
So what if he was trying to bully you?
Would you dare to say no?
Guan Shanyue did not. Lord Li represented the will of the Celestial Emperor Sect. If he dared to argue with Lord Li, he would be arguing with the Celestial Emperor Sect.
Guan Shanyue took a deep breath, cupped his fists and said, "Lord Li, I will not have the guts to provoke the Celestial Emperor Sect, not to mention murder a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
Lord Li, if you think the Guan Family is in the wrong, then we will admit it and we will not say anything more! "
Guan Shanyue chickened out quickly. Fighting against Lord Li and the others would be impossible unless the Guan Family wanted to be wiped out. Lord Li was a sword in the hand of the Master of the Celestial Emperor Sect. Sometimes, he represented the will of the Master.
Not even the 17 major sects dared to ask Lord Li, let alone a small Guan Family.
Therefore, he had to chicken out and pretend to be wronged. He allowed Lord Li to bully him and pretended that he would not fight back.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Emperor Rui and the others stood up and bowed. Lord Li waved his hand and said to Guan Shanyue, "You don't look.
"Xiu!"
Two black-clothed men quickly came in, bringing in a woman. It was a young woman with disheveled hair. Her eyes were filled with fear.
Her face was originally very beautiful, but at this moment, it was pale, and her delicate body was trembling.
"Sister Yun!"
Wang Ningxue, who was outside, exclaimed in shock.
Ji Yun was actually taken down. What did she do?
Her eyes turned, and soon, anger appeared in her eyes.
A few days ago, an important person from the intelligence department of the Celestial Emperor Sect talked to her and asked if she had leaked Lu Li's whereabouts. She said she had told Ji Yun.
At that time, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't expect that it was really this close friend of hers who leaked the information.
Lord Li didn't even look at Ji Yun. He just waved his hand coldly and said to the person with Ji Yun, "Speak!"
"It's Guan Qianqiu, Guan Qianqiu!"
Ji Yun's mouth was trembling. She stammered, "Guan Qianqiu asked me to gather information about Lu Li. He gave me three Tribulation Pellets and asked me to go to Ningxue and ask about Lu Li.
I know I am wrong. I will give you the Tribulation Pellets. Don't kill me. I didn't know that Guan Qianqiu was going to kill Lu Li … "
Ji Yun's ring glowed as she took out the three Tribulation Pellets. Then, she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing in fear.
Lord Li still didn't look at her. He waved his hand and the black-clothed man took Ji Yun away. He looked at Guan Shanyue coldly and said, "Guan Qianqiu hired assassins. There is no doubt about this.
A disciple of the Guan Family hired assassins to kill a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect and our disciple killed Guan Qianqiu. I want to ask Family Leader Guan, is he wrong?
Can you accept it when a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect assassinates a disciple of the Guan Family?
Can we go to the Guan Family and ask for an explanation? "
Lord Li's words were still domineering and overbearing. He didn't show any respect to Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue pulled a long face. But he didn't dare to say anything back. He cupped his fists and said, "Lord Li, Guan Qianqiu is in the wrong. He is dead. I think … we should just let it go.
Of course, if Lord Li wants to pursue the responsibility of the Guan Family, we will have to accept it. "
"Don't act like you are wronged!"
Lord Li still didn't show any respect. He said coldly, "A disciple of your family assassinated a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect. He was killed by our disciple because he was not strong enough. How dare you come here and ask for an explanation?
Do you think the Celestial Emperor Sect is so easy to bully?
We will investigate this thoroughly. If there are others involved in the scheme, we will not let any of them go!
Family Leader Guan, please! "
Guan Shanyue's face was rubbed against the ground by Lord Li again and again, but he didn't dare to say anything. He had to leave with a sullen face and a raging heart.
After Guan Shanyue left, the disciples outside burst into cheers. Lord Li's protective attitude made all the disciples feel better about this King of Hell Li.
The most powerful sect in the world had its own pride. As disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect, they had their own pride as well. If anyone could bully them, then what was the point of joining the Celestial Emperor Sect?
The most powerful sect must be domineering. They wouldn't bully others, but if anyone did, they must seek revenge.
Lu Li had done a good job. He had raised the prestige of the Celestial Emperor Sect. Lord Li had done even better. All the disciples felt proud and satisfied.
"That's all!"
After Guan Shanyue left, Lord Li said, "Now, let's talk about you, Lu Li. I can protect you from outsiders but you must follow the rules of the sect.
But you are still in the wrong. You should have reported to the sect as soon as something like this happened. You shouldn't have acted on your own.
This has affected the sect badly. We must look into it.
Fang Wen, I personally suggest that he be locked up in the Celestial Emperor Sword Formation. Let him out when he can pass the 15th level. What do you think? "
"Celestial Emperor Sword Formation?"
The people outside were in an uproar. The Celestial Emperor Sword Formation was a place for assessment. Anyone who could pass the 15th level would be a black badge disciple.
Lu Li had just become an official disciple and he was going to be locked up here?
If he couldn't pass the 15th level in 10,000 years, wouldn't he be locked up for another 10,000 years?
"Wait a minute!"
Many people suddenly remembered something. Didn't Lu Li kill Guan Qianqiu and the lord of the Guan Family?
And those three assassins were lords as well?
Did that mean that Lu Li's combat power was already above that of an average Lord?
Then, it shouldn't take him too long to pass the 15th level, right?
"I don't think 15 is enough!"
The Rui Emperor suddenly said, "This punk is out of control. He should be severely punished so that he can reflect on himself.
Didn't Gu Jian pass the 18th level?
I think 18 is better! "
