Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 853
Chapter 853 Accountability
Within the Violet Moon Immortal Domain.
Inside the silent palace, there were numerous guards and Sun Ziyan walked towards the main hall in the middle of the palace.
At this moment, her heroic face was already covered in condensed colors, and her entire body seemed especially solemn.
When she arrived at the entrance of the hall, she stopped. She stood by the entrance and waited quietly until a servant dressed in luxurious clothes walked out. She shouted to the front, “Empress Dowager has a decree, announce Eldest Princess to enter the hall.”
“Zi Yan received the decree.”
Sun Ziyan whispered and followed the attendant inside.
As he entered the hall, his solemn expression became even more intense, as if the air had solidified.
Sun Ziyan lowered her head and walked step by step to the center of the hall. She did not know who was on either side of her, nor did she dare to look. She did not even know who was sitting in the hall. After entering the hall, she had always lowered her head. This was the rule. She could not raise her head without paying her respects. Of course, not lifting his head was a good thing at this moment.
“Zi Yan greets the Empress Dowager.”
Sun Ziyan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the people above.
“Get up and talk, child.”
The person above said indifferently.
“Thank you, Empress Dowager.”
Sun Ziyan stood up and looked up at the person above.
Above was a white-haired old woman with a rather old appearance. She held a black-brown staff in her hand and wore a large phoenix-patterned robe. Her expression was rather serious, but there was still a trace of affection in the depths of her eyes.
“I’ve already heard about the destruction of the forbidden area. Sun Li said that it was all up to you, right?”
The Empress Dowager asked.
After a moment of silence, Sun Ziyan replied, “Reporting to the Empress Dowager, perhaps this matter has something to do with Ziyan.”
“So you admit it?”
The Empress Dowager frowned.
“Although it has something to do with Zi Yan, Zi Yan does not know what the reason is. If Zi Yan is really the reason for this, Zi Yan is willing to take responsibility for everything. However, no one knows about this matter. Zi Yan still hopes to investigate it carefully.”
The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment. She looked down at the people below and secretly swept her gaze over the silent people on both sides. She began to think.
“Let Sun Li enter the hall.”
The Empress Dowager said indifferently.
“Follow the decree.”
The waiter Hua nodded his head and hurriedly walked out of the hall. After exclaiming for a moment, he led a young man into the hall.
At first glance, this person was Sun Li.
“Sun’er, Sun Li, greets the Empress Dowager.”
Sun Li walked to Sun Ziyan’s side, shouted loudly, and kowtowed.
“Sun Li, get up.”
“Thank you, Empress Dowager.”
Sun Li shouted again and stood up quietly. He wasn’t nervous at all.
The Empress Dowager glanced at him and said, “Sun Li, you said that the forbidden area left behind by our ancestors was destroyed by Zi Yan. Now that she is already here, why don’t you tell us what happened?”
“Yes, Empress Dowager,” Sun Li nodded in salute.
He remained silent for a moment. After that, he said, “Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Sun Li actually didn’t see the entire process. That day, Sun Li walked past the Qing Palace not far from the forbidden area. He suddenly heard a loud noise, the earth trembled, and profound energy flew everywhere. He immediately went to check the situation. However, when Sun Li first arrived at the forbidden area, he saw his sister walk out of the forbidden area. Other than her, there were two other people.” “I can’t blame my sister for this. If I’m to be held accountable, I’ll have to capture these two.”
Sun Li spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, but he spat out every single word clearly.
The Empress Dowager slowly raised her head and asked solemnly, “Who are these two?”
“This … I’m afraid I’ll have to ask Big Sister.” Sun Li whispered, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Sun Ziyan stammered her lower lips and did not conceal anything. She saluted, “Reporting to the Empress Dowager, these two people have a deep relationship with Ziyan. One of them is the daughter of the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace’s Palace Master, Ziyan’s junior sister, while the other is her disciple.”
“Why did these two appear in the forbidden area?”
The Empress Dowager asked indifferently, and this question came to an end.
“Junior Sister has accepted a new disciple. His talent is extraordinary. The cultivation conditions of Divine Cloud Immortal Palace are rather simple. Junior Sister is afraid that she will bury this child’s talent, so she will let him enter the Ultimate Martial World and come to our Immortal Kingdom to cultivate.”
“Cultivate quietly, then cultivate quietly. Why did you cultivate quietly to the forbidden area of the trial?” Sun Li chuckled and said, “Don’t you know where the forbidden area is? Big sister, don’t you know?”
“Although the forbidden area is a forbidden area, it is not that no one is allowed to enter. I have already consulted my uncle on this matter, and they have all agreed, so I let Qing’er go.”
“Then why didn’t you consult me?”
The Empress Dowager said.
Hearing that, Sun Siyan immediately knelt down and whispered, “The Empress Dowager has been searching for healing pills for Father Emperor for several months. Ziyan feels that it will be difficult for the Empress Dowager to return for a while, and Qing’er has just reached a bottleneck and is in urgent need of a challenge to help her break through. So Ziyan let Qing’er enter the trial forbidden area.”
“The forbidden area was left to you descendants of the Sun Clan by our ancestors. How did you open it up for an outsider?”
The Empress Dowager frowned.
“Uh… this…”
“Furthermore, the destruction of the forbidden area has become a foregone conclusion. We must have an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, how can our Sun Clan explain this to our ancestors?” The Empress Dowager said, and then shouted, “Go and capture that girl from Divine Cloud Immortal Palace and that Qing’er. Put her in prison first.”
“Yes, sir.”
One of the deputy generals immediately withdrew from the main hall.
Seeing this, Sun Siyan immediately became anxious and hurriedly shouted, “Wait a moment, Empress Dowager. We haven’t investigated this matter clearly yet. Although Ziyan opened the forbidden area door for others without permission, the destruction of the forbidden area isn’t necessarily Qing’er’s responsibility. Junior Sister is even more innocent. Please think twice and investigate this matter clearly before proceeding.”
“Are you saying that the forbidden area will be destroyed for no reason?” The Empress Dowager said indifferently.
“It’s just that we weren’t there when the accident happened in the forbidden area. However, we arrived later. No one knows what happened in the forbidden area. Empress Dowager, if we act recklessly like this… I’m afraid it’s inappropriate.”
“How dare you!”
The Empress Dowager shouted, “Zi Yan, are you teaching me a lesson?”
Hearing this, Sun Ziyan said, She immediately bent down and hurriedly said, “Grandson, you don’t dare. It’s just that… Junior Sister is the daughter of the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace’s Palace Master. Although the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace isn’t as powerful as our Immortal Kingdom, it has countless connections to that interface. Furthermore… Zi Yan once worshipped the Palace Master as her master. If anything happens here, I’m afraid that our Immortal Kingdom’s reputation will be ruined.”
The Empress Dowager frowned when she heard this.
Actually, she also knew about this Divine Cloud Immortal Palace. Of course, she also knew that Sun Ziyan had once entered the Divine Cloud Immortal Palace. Although this Divine Cloud Immortal Palace was only a sect located on the Tianwu Continent, its strength could not be compared to an immortal kingdom. However… To judge the strength of a power, it depended not only on its strength, but also on its meridians.
“However, if there is no explanation regarding the forbidden area, our Immortal Kingdom will definitely be laughed at by the people of all worlds in the future.” The Empress Dowager said, “Even if the matter of the forbidden area was not done by the two of them, it must have something to do with them!”
“Empress Dowager…”
‘”I’ve made up my mind. Zi Yan, I’ll temporarily lock these two up. I’ll give you a month to investigate this matter. If the results of the investigation prove that the trial forbidden area was destroyed by these two people, then I will release them. If the forbidden area is destroyed by these two people, then … I can only act according to the laws of the Immortal Kingdom!”
The Empress Dowager said seriously, then closed her eyes, waved her hand, and said indifferently, “You guys leave.”
Hearing that, Sun Ziyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but she swallowed it down.
The Empress Dowager was her grandmother. She used to love her very much, but today’s matter did not allow her to have a private affair. Sun Ziyan also understood the Empress Dowager’s temperament. If she made a decision, it was impossible for her to change it.
Helplessly, Sun Ziyan could only retreat.
The nearby Sun Li remained silent, but the complacency in his eyes slowly revealed itself.
“Empress Dowager, my grandson has bid farewell.” Sun Li said with a smile.
“Yes.”
Sun Li left the hall with Sun Ziyan.
No one in the palace dared to be presumptuous. The power of Purple Moon Immortal Kingdom, the entire Heavens and Realms, and all the powers that had ascended the stage were well aware of it.
After the two of them left the palace, Sun Ziyan turned around and stared coldly at Sun Li, who had left the palace with them.
“Oh, big sister, don’t look at me like that. I’m so scared.”
Sun Li pretended to be scared and said with a smile.
Sun Ziyan’s eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Sun Li. She gritted her teeth and her heroic face was filled with anger.
“Sun Li, father is seriously ill, There’s no cure, You can’t even manage the Immortal Kingdom. The position of the head of the Immortal Kingdom will not change in the future. But you must remember, who does this position is not something that we can decide. It is something that Father Emperor decides. The Empress Dowager decides. Those adults decide it. You can’t change anything by doing these little tricks behind me. Whoever this position belongs to, will belong to him! “!”
“Haha, big sister, look at what you said. It seems like this position is yours.”
“I, Sun Siyan, don’t care about this position.”
“Don’t care? If you don’t care, then you should leave. Leave the Immortal Kingdom. Why did Father Emperor suddenly come back when he was seriously ill?”
Sun Li sneered.
“Father is seriously ill, shouldn’t I be back?” Sun Ziyan clenched her fists.
“Heh, I’m too lazy to say anything. You said it too … Whoever owns this position will own it.”
Sun Li said. The smile on his face became even more intense. He raised his toes and walked straight through Sun Ziyan. Even after more than ten steps, Sun Ziyan could still feel his full strength of complacency.
Sun Siyan clenched her fists tighter and tighter…
“Sun Li!”
She shouted.
“So what?”
Sun Li turned around and smiled.
However, the one facing him was a fist.
Bang!
Sun Li took a punch on his face and flew out. He crashed into a Spirit Cultivator shop not far away. The shop was razed by him, and he was also a vegetarian.
At first glance, this punch was precisely Sun Ziyan’s doing.
“Bastard, I won’t let you off. Sun Li, we’ll see.”
Sun Ziyan retracted her fist and said angrily. Then, she directly walked away.
