The Grand Master who hadn't made an appearance finally came out. As soon as he did, he cracked Patriarch Long's shadow of palm.
Deputy Master's expression didn't change much. But his pupils did contract, which he hid very well. He bowed and said, "Grand Master!"
"Plop, plop, plop!"
Warriors at the plaza finally understood what was happening. They all got on their knees in excitement. Some of them had joined the Demon-slaying Hall for one or two hundred years without ever meeting this legendary Grand Master.
Some warriors from different families that had come for the small battlefield were so excited that their faces were hot. They felt they had made the smartest decision by staying behind to see the show.
Not only did they enjoy a huge drama, they were lucky enough to meet Deputy Master and Grand Master. This alone was enough for them to brag throughout their entire lives.
Judging by his looks, Grand Master didn't advanced in ages. He had a strong build and his face was with no wrinkles. His skin was smooth and he wore his red hair down.
He stood in the air with pride. People felt they were faced with a towering mountain and it was hard to breathe under the pressure without him letting out any qi or energy.
"What realm is this?"
Lu Li realized he could move. He turned over slowly to look at Grant Master. Lu Li stared into Grand Master's eyes but he felt he was sucked in as if he was not looking at a pair of eyes, but an entire world.
Grand Master didn't look back at Lu Li. Instead, he gazed into the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse in the distance. It was a tall enough statue for people to see clearly from afar. The book was glaring with words and letters flying out and bouncing around in midair.
Many warriors turned over and observed with psychic power. They also found the strange thing about the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. After it was built, the statue lit up several times with each time it was granting divine energy to a warrior to nurture the future chosen warrior.
Currently, however, there were no person around the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse and the ray from the book didn't move to cover up anyone. It meant that the statue wasn't going to impart divine energy. If so, why did it lit up.
It was obvious that the Grand Master had come out because of the strange situation to the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. He stopped Patriarch Long's killer move at once. Could it be…that the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse was triggered by Lu Li?
But Lu Li didn't do anything. He was not even anywhere near the statue. He was far away from the southern side of the city. How could it be related to Lu Li?
There were so many confusing things and yet nobody said anything. They all waited for further moves from Grand Master. Many people focused on the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse to see what was going to ensue.
Nothing happened to the statue!
The letters all returned to the book after several bounces. The ray of light from the book died down quickly and restored to its original state.
When the book stopped glowing completely, Grand Master turned his looks away. He didn't look at anyone while said lightly, "Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan, Lu Ni and Die Feiyu will be exiled to the Blood Realm for three years. The rest of the matter…just let it go."
With that said, Grand Master disappeared on the spot, together with Lu Li and Little White. Lu Li and Little White weren't together but they all vanished suddenly with no signs.
"Um…"
Some people made noises of surprise but they soon shut up.
With appearance of Grand Master, the situation changed suddenly. Not only did he overturn Deputy Master's verdict, he had also exiled Ji Megntian, Yang Xuan, Lu Suan and the other two for three years, which…was practically an action that offended both the four forces and the powerful warriors at the Demon-slaying Hall related to the four forces.
Of course, nobody had second opinion because he was the Grand Master. He was the most powerful person in the world and his words were authoritative!
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Many people's faces changed. Deputy Master still wore no expression but from the depth of his eyes, people could see a glint of anger and…confusion!
Deputy Master was not the only one confused. Many people found themselves in the same state. By not coming out at first, Grand Master had demonstrated that he didn't want to get involved and had caved to Deputy Master indirectly.
Then why did the Grand Master come out now and publicly shame the Deputy Master and the four forces?
What did the glow of the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse mean? Did the Grand Master decided to get involved because the statue lit up?
In the eyes of many written astonishment. Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan and the rest three were scared stiff. Die Feiyu was so frightened that tears fell like rain.
"Blood Realm!"
Lu Suan produced a forced smile. Blood Realm was a small world, well-known in Central Plains for its many dangers. The five might not have a chance to get out of there alive. They were lucky that Grand Master showed mercy and only sentenced them to three years in exile. If they had to be exiled for dozens of years, it would be certain that they would die there.
Lu Liantian and team leading patriarchs from the Yang Family, Samsara Palace, and the Pavilion of Blossoms moaned and groaned secretly. Grand Master not only shamed the four forces by giving this order, but also risked Ji Mengtian and the other's lives.
"Whoosh~"
A man showed up. Law Enforcement Patriarch came to the plaza. Looking at a patriarch coldly, Law Enforcement Patriarch said, "Patriarch Li, why haven't you carried out Grand Master's order?"
A Patriarch Li stood still for a second and then said, "Come and take Ji Mengtian and the other four. Bring them out of the Demon-slaying Grounds and send them to the Blood Realm."
Several escorts walked over quickly and captured Ji Mengtian and the others. They were taken to outside the city directly. Patriarch Li joined the other escorts and sent the five away under guard.
Lu Liantian and others were relieved. Patriarch Li came from the Hades Society originally. He was connected to the four forces and he could take care of the five.
Law Enforcement Patriarch clearly didn't want Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and the gang dead by letting Patriarch Li to take care of this thing. Otherwise, the five's lives would be in jeopardy should Law Enforcement Patriarch send another patriarch.
"Show is over. Dismiss!"
Deputy Master waved his hand indifferently. He vanished in midair. Law Enforcement Patriarch walked into a chamber. It seemed that the entire event had come to an end.
That being said!
The more than 10,000 warriors gathered at the plaza didn't leave. Patriarch Yang with his arms broken was there as well. They hadn't been able to come back to their senses.
Today's event was full of apprehensions and complications!
Lu Li came out from the small battlefield and was taken down right away. He was put on trial at once and was sentenced to death in public under the forced order from Deputy Master.
While the order was being carried out, a sudden change happened. First, Little White bit off Patriarch Yang's wrist and then Lu Li broke his other arm. In a fit of rage, Lu Li killed Ji Nu and Yang Qi. Deputy Master had to come out again.
In the end, the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse showed strange signs. Grand Master came and took Little White and Lu Li away with him. The table was turned completely.
From the moment Lu Li was brought to the plaza till it all came to an end, it had only been a short while. The situation experienced several rounds of ups and downs. Many people didn't even have the time to digest all this.
There were many confusing points and certain ones as well!
About Lu Li, he had committed heinous crimes but everything he did was forgiven at the word given by Grand Master.
Not only was Lu Li acquitted, he was about to soar up? It would be hard for him not to rise up when the most powerful person came out to protect him. Grand Master didn't even come out when Jiang Qiling was granted divine energy.
"Lu Li!"
The ferocious and cruel look of Lu Li sprang to many people's minds. Somehow, they felt unsettled.
When this unruly and cruel young man grew up, the entire Great Land would be turned upside down by him.
