Chapter 1193 Guangwu Imperial Master
Chapter 1193 Guangwu Imperial Master
The city of light!
"Tell me! Who killed him?" A deafening roar rang out in the dark prison.
All the villagers of Wuming Village are imprisoned in this prison.
The Lord of Light City had a scowl on his face, and the long whip in his hand made a crisp sound in the air as he hit the villagers hard.
"Hmph, whoever invades my Wuming Village will be punished no matter how far away they are! You have invaded my Wuming Village without permission, so you deserve to die!" Although the whipped villager had a naked upper body and was covered with scars, there was no fear on his face, but rather disdain.
The deep whip marks on his chest were hideous and terrifying, as if telling of the pain he had endured.
However, due to long-standing habits, the villagers in Wuming Village only feared the village chief and did not have too much fear of the foreign Lord of the City of Light.
"You are not afraid of death?"
The Lord of Bright City was almost losing his mind. These villagers were not afraid of him at all. They were not afraid of pain or death. He had no choice but to put down the whip in his hand and stare at the villager.
"Why fear death? Why suffer life?"
The villager turned his head and snorted coldly, "Even if you die, don't even think about letting us reveal a single word!"
Although his voice was a little weak, it was full of firmness and determination.
The face of the Lord of Light City turned red due to extreme anger. He widened his eyes and roared angrily: "Okay! Okay! Come on, drag him out, chop him into a hundred pieces, and throw him into the river to feed the fish!"
Following his order, two burly and ferocious-looking soldiers immediately walked in from outside the prison.
They pounced on the villager like wolves and tigers, lifted him up effortlessly like a chicken, and dragged him out.
However, what is surprising is that the villager did not show any fear or beg for mercy in the face of such a horrific scene.
He just opened his mouth, revealing a creepy smile, which seemed to hide some deep meaning, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of Bright City became increasingly furious. He shouted, "What a fool! Torture me! I want to see how long the others can keep their stubbornness going!"
Then he gave another order: "Bring a few more villagers here! I don't believe we can't get anything out of them!"
There was a flash of anger and anxiety in the eyes of the Lord of Bright City. He really couldn't understand how these ordinary villagers could have the ability to kill the Golden Immortal?
But the facts were right in front of him. He watched Guan Wu die tragically in front of him, and the murderer had not been found yet.
So he decided not to delay any longer and personally led the officers and soldiers to arrest everyone in the nameless village, regardless of gender, age or status, without sparing any one.
However, after a careful search and questioning, he found that these villagers were indeed ordinary people. There was nothing special about them, let alone any profound cultivation.
This made the Lord of Guangming City very confused and angry. He really couldn't understand how an ordinary person without cultivation could kill a Daluo Jinxian? But Guan Wu's death was an indisputable fact. He had to find out the truth and find the real murderer!
If a saint-like existence hiding in the dark is not eliminated soon, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Bright City. As a quasi-saint at the peak, he undoubtedly knows clearly how powerful the destructive power of a saint is!
"Let me go!"
I saw a thin young boy being held tightly by a burly and seemingly honest middle-aged man. Both of them looked pale, and it was obvious that they were dragged here by force.
"Who killed General Guan? Tell me now! As long as you tell me the truth, I will not only forgive your crimes, but also grant you high positions and generous salaries, so that you can enjoy endless wealth and glory from now on!" The Lord of Bright City had a smile on his face, but this smile revealed a hint of hypocrisy and insidiousness.
He was secretly planning to take this opportunity to make an example of someone and give a warning to other people who might have bad intentions.
Facing the threats and inducements from the Lord of Light City, the young man showed no fear. He stood up straight, looked directly into the Lord of Light City's eyes, and said without flinching, "He died on his own. No one killed him!"
The young man's voice was sonorous and powerful. As for the so-called quasi-saint pressure, it was nothing to him.
This kind of pressure might be an unbearable fear for most people, but for the young man and the middle-aged man beside him, it doesn't matter at all!
"Did you die by yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Bright City was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"What you mean is that General Guan walked into your nameless village, and then stabbed himself in front of you, performing a self-killing performance on the spot?" The laughter of the Lord of Light City was full of sarcasm and disdain.
The Lord of Bright City raised the whip in his hand in anger and lashed at the boy as fast as lightning.
With a crisp "snap" sound, the long whip hit the young man hard, leaving a hideous whip mark in an instant.
The whip marks looked particularly glaring on the boy's fair skin, as if they were torn wounds, with blood slowly oozing out, contrasting with the whip marks.
However, the boy only twitched slightly, without even frowning, and resolutely turned his head to the side, saying in a cold and indifferent tone: "I have already told you the answer, believe it or not."
"Aren't you afraid of death?" The Lord of Light City was so angry.
The young man met the gaze of the Lord of Light City without flinching, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
These villagers in the nameless village are just ordinary people, but they have this kind of mentality! He couldn't help but think that if these people use this mentality for cultivation, their future achievements will probably be quite amazing.
However, the Lord of Bright City was more angry. He had never met such an ordinary person who was not afraid of death. This was completely beyond his expectations.
"Lock them all up!" the Lord of Light City shouted angrily, "Torture them day and night until they tell the truth!"
"What about that girl? Remember to send her to my bed at night. I don't believe they can keep it secret!"
"As ordered!"
The officers and soldiers nodded.
……
At the same time, in the city lord’s mansion!
"Why hasn't your city lord come yet?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly sat in the main seat and spoke to the butler with an expressionless face.
He also learned the news here. He heard that the Void Mountain was split in the middle, so he came to investigate.
And this middle-aged man with a big belly was the imperial teacher of the Guangwu Empire, named Su Zaile.
"Master Su, the city lord is interrogating a criminal. Please wait for a moment, Master. He will be here soon." The housekeeper of the city lord's mansion said with a smile.
"Well, that's better. If you make me wait too long, be careful that I will destroy your entire City of Light!"
After a pause, Su Zaile said coldly again: "Once the Void Divine Mountain is opened, no one knows what is inside. Maybe there will be undeveloped divine veins, or even extremely valuable Void Divine Crystals!"
The butler was trembling beside him and didn't dare to say a word.
Soon, the Lord of Bright City walked in quickly, shouting as he walked: "Butler, assemble the team and go to Wuming Village!"
"Nameless Village?" Su Zaile snorted.
The Lord of Bright City didn't know that Su Zaile was here. When he heard the voice, he paused slightly and looked up subconsciously, just in time to meet Su Zaile's gaze.
"Ah? Master Imperial Master?"
The Lord of Bright City trembled all over. He had witnessed with his own eyes that this seemingly amiable imperial teacher had brutally slaughtered several city lords. He was ruthless when he attacked. Even he did not dare to offend such a ruthless person easily!
"Master Imperial Master, what brings you here?"
The Lord of Bright City was so frightened that he trembled with fear and dared not speak any more nonsense.
"I heard that the Void Mountain has been opened? According to legend, there is a great terror inside the Void Mountain. Have you encountered it?"
"The Great Terror?"
Hearing these three words, the Lord of Bright City paused, "This... Master State Master, there is only a small village inside. That village is called the Nameless Village. All the villagers are ordinary people with no cultivation. They have not seen any great terror at all."
The Lord of Bright City replied truthfully.
In fact, he was also thinking a lot in his heart, could it be that Guan Wu’s death was caused by that so-called great terror?
With this in mind, the Lord of Bright City did not dare to lead his troops there himself.
"I wonder what the great terror that the State Master is talking about is referring to?"
The Lord of Light City pondered for a moment, then hurriedly asked carefully, obviously interested in the great terror he mentioned.
"That's just a legend. As for what it is exactly, no one knows. The news that the Void God Mountain has cracked will surely spread throughout the Void Realm in no time!"
The Realm of Nothingness is the smallest realm among the nine realms. The other realms are more or less divided into various domains, but the Realm of Nothingness is not divided into domains!
The Realm of Nothingness is divided into seven continents, and the one closest to the Void Divine Mountain is their East Asian continent, the Guangwu Empire!
"Well, that's all I have to say. Take me there. I'm also very curious about what's on the other side of the Void God Mountain."
Su Zai Le waved his sleeves and flew into the air.
boom!
His head hit the roof immediately, creating a huge hole in it.
"..." The city lord and the housekeeper looked at each other in surprise.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and leave?!"
Su Zaile lowered his head and scolded.
The two of them nodded hurriedly and responded helplessly: "I obey your command!"
Not daring to delay for even a moment, the city lord and the steward acted separately. The steward was responsible for calling people, while the city lord went straight after Su Zaile.
Little did they know that it was their actions that saved them from death and allowed them to live longer.
