"Enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens?"
Chu Wanglou's lips twitched slightly as he pondered whether a person from the Demon Path had any right to speak of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens.
However, he was acutely aware that the strength of this Demon Cultivator before him was unfathomable, and he knew he could not afford to take risks.
"This Demon Cultivator is someone even the Divine World and Immortal Domain cannot handle!"
He took a deep breath and then said, "Since these five people are enormously wicked, it is reasonable and just for you to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"
The nearby people, upon hearing Chu Wanglou's words, all showed a drastic change of expression, and gasped in shock.
From the aura emitted by Zhao Wuji, it was clear that he was undoubtedly a Demon Cultivator.
Logically, the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect is a genuine, righteous sect, supposed to shoulder the duty of eradicating Demon Cultivators.
Yet, they never expected that Chu Wanglou would agree with a Demon Cultivator's claim of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens; this was truly an insult to the phrase!
Despite the doubts in many people's minds, they felt they should still trust Chu Wanglou.
"Elders of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, my son is innocent. He has been held hostage by a criminal on the rooftop. Please, elders, stand up for me!"
At that moment, a loud cry rang out from the ground.
Everyone looked towards the source of the cry, and soon someone recognized that the person shouting was the local City Lord.
Seeing the City Lord crying out, Chu Wanglou's lips twitched again; he knew he absolutely could not get involved in the conflict between the Divine World, Immortal Domain, and the Demon Cultivator from before.
"Do you not know what your son has done? If he truly is a good person, then the heavens will naturally protect him! But if your son is a scoundrel, then the heavens will naturally impose punishment on him!"
Chu Wanglou spoke indifferently.
The surrounding crowd, upon hearing Chu Wanglou's response, their eyes flickered, uncertain of the true meaning behind his words.
"Retreat immediately! After returning, prepare the highest level of defenses! The person who was speaking to me just now was a Demon Cultivator previously suppressed by the Immortal Domain Immortals. His power is terrifying! Do not clash with him in any circumstances! If anything happens to me, command all disciples to disperse immediately and do not seek revenge! Our enemy is very powerful, do not harbor thoughts of revenge! Hurry!"
Seeing the local City Lord shouting, Chu Wanglou's eyes flashed, and he immediately secretly communicated with the surrounding elders.
The elders, upon hearing Chu Wanglou's secret message, all changed their expressions drastically, feeling horrified.
They had previously heard that the Domain Immortals had acted against a Demon Cultivator who entered the Jiuzhou Continent and had even destroyed the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
They had previously investigated the situation at Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and knew it was utterly devastated; they believed that no living creature could escape such a fierce annihilation.
Yet now, the Demon Cultivator who had escaped the great calamity of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was sitting arrogantly on the top floor of the large restaurant right in front of them, causing them to feel a chilling horror.
Comparing their own strength with that of the Demon Cultivator before them, they feared that even if all the experts of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect joined forces, they might not be able to kill the Demon Cultivator.
They looked at each other, desperation in their eyes, all of them shaking their heads.
"Sect Leader, I know what to do!"
The elders hesitated only for a moment before following the secret instructions sent by Chu Wanglou.
They quietly slipped away while the City Lord below and Zhao Wuji were arguing.
Chu Wanglou had most of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect elders leave, leaving only two confidants of the Third Level of Martial Emperor.
Seeing that most of his subordinates had left, Chu Wanglou finally breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed that Zhao Wuji must have come prepared, and wouldn't foolishly stir trouble on the territory of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
He released his Divine Sense to scout the vicinity.
"The elders of Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, my son is truly innocent!"
Below, the local City Lord began to wail.
In the sky, Chu Wanglou slightly shook his head. He had no interest in whether what the City Lord was saying was true or false. He suspected that Zhao Wuji was looking for an opportunity to explode, creating a pretext to wage war against the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
For a desired blame, there is no lack of excuses!
"If I say your son should die, then he must die!"
Zhao Wuji coldly replied, swinging his right hand, causing Yan Shiping to let out a piercing scream as his body was pushed outside.
Seeing his own son being pushed outside by the culprits from the Red Flower Restaurant, the City Lord's eyes widened, filled with anger.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to be ready below the restaurant to catch Yan Shiping who was about to fall from above.
However, what the City Lord saw next was his son Yan Shiping staying aloft in mid-air, and within three breaths of time, Yan Shiping's body burst into flames.
Many nearby people witnessed this scene and were filled with fear; several timid ones immediately retreated into rooms, daring not to gaze at the sky.
"Ah!"
The City Lord instantly became furious and roared, "Shoot the people above dead with arrows!"
Upon hearing the City Lord's command, the City Guard Army all bent their bows and drew arrows, then one after another long arrow made whooshing sounds as they shot from the ground upwards.
Chu Wanglou, observing this scene, remained silent. He just watched from the side, aware that the Demon Cultivator called Zhao Wuji was provoking, enticing the experts of the Jiuzhou Continent to act.
Therefore, he not only couldn't intervene, but he also had to shift all the blame onto Yan Shiping, who was killed by the opponent.
A thought crossed Chu Wanglou's mind, and nineteen longswords on his back immediately flew up.
The longswords flew swiftly, then shielded the top of the big restaurant, preventing the soldiers' long arrows from reaching the top floor.
"Listen up below, I am Chu Wanglou, the Sect Leader of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect. I am telling you now, the person who was just killed deserved to die! None of you shall attack the friend upstairs. Anyone daring to attack the friend upstairs is opposing the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect!"
The soldiers and officials below, upon hearing Chu Wanglou's words, were all stunned. They looked at each other and then ceased their actions.
Although the City Lord's command was important, they truly did not want to oppose the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
They were very clear that even if all of them acted together, they were not a match for the Sect Leader of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.
Some Martial Artists initially had doubts, but when they saw Chu Wanglou release his Shattering Void Realm Cultivation, they knew he was not lying.
After all, on the Jiuzhou Continent, those who can cultivate to the Shattering Void Realm are at least the elders or Sect Leaders of a first-class Sect.
The power of Shattering Void Realm Cultivation is absolutely unmistakable!
