Chapter 929 - Heavens' Judgnt

"This crazy bastard…" Lord Ji mumbled in a low voice as he watched Elder Gu and Gu Zhiting's severed corpses fall to the ground from the sky.

'Is this what it feels like to be opposed? How interesting…' He smiled inwardly.

"He really killed them…" Wang Xiuying was left speechless by Yuan's actions. She didn't think he would actually kill them.

Soti later, Yuan turned to look at Patriarch Gu and spoke in a calm voice, "Are you going to avenge them now? Will you also plot to harm my friends once I am gone?"

"..."

However, Patriarch Gu remained silent.

The Grail of Truth had a single weakness. If soone doesn't speak, it would not be able to detect any lies. However, by avoiding the Grail of Truth, they might as well be a liar. After all, there would be no point to avoid the Grail of Truth if one planned on speaking the truth.

"If you don't answer my question, I will kill you as well." Yuan narrowed his eyes at Patriarch Gu, who trembled upon feeling such gaze.

After a mont of silence, he spoke in a low voice, "KIll if you want. I don't care anymore."

He then turned to look at Lord Ji and clasped his hands before continuing, "Thank you for responding to my request for help. Even if you were not able to save their lives, I am still grateful that you ca, and I am indebted to you."

Lord Ji silently nodded.

Patriarch Gu turned to look at Yuan again for a mont before turning around and flying away.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at Patriarch Gu, but he didn't chase after him.

"Young Master, are you sure you want to let him go? My experience tells that he will definitely try to avenge his son and brother in the future." Feng Yuxiang said to him.

"I know." Yuan said.

"Then why?"

"His eyes lacked any will to live, and it reminds of soone. I cannot kill him even if I want to— my body doesn't allow it." He sighed.

The current Patriarch Gu reminded Yuan of himself during his early years as a cripple. He had no reason to live, and he couldn't care less if he lived or died. This made him hesitant on killing Patriarch Gu.

"However, that doesn't an I will allow him to harm my friends. They all believe that I won't be able to return to this place once I ascend, but that is not even close to being true. If he dares to try anything funny, I will co back down here and finish them off."

"What about this Lord Ji? His Ji Family is incredibly powerful— even more powerful than the Seven Legacy Families. They will definitely try to suppress you, but I highly discourage you from fighting them. Although you might be able to defeat them now, you won't be able to deal with the Ji Family in the upper heavens." Feng Yuxiang asked.

"I don't know. This Lord Ji is a weird one. I do not understand him at all." Yuan shook his head inwardly.

And he continued, "I guess we can only wait and see how everything goes."

Once Patriarch Gu left the scene completely, Lord Ji spoke in a calm voice, "You're really one crazy bastard, Yuan. Nobody has ever opposed this openly. I'm both impressed and filled with rage right now."

"What do you think I should do with you, hmm?"

Yuan smiled and responded in a calm voice, "You can forget about this incident. This is the best for both of us. Furthermore, you're not even supposed to be here in the first place."

Lord Ji shook his head and spoke, "Unfortunately, that is no longer possible. You have opposed , causing to lose a lot of face today. Personally, I am not one who cares too much about face, but the Heavens watching us might think differently."

"If I don't punish you for opposing , the Heavens that have witnessed everything might deem unworthy of the position of Lord and strip my status, and that is sothing I cannot allow even if it costs my life."

"The Heavens?" Yuan raised his eyebrows and lifted his head to look up.

"They're watching us now?"

Lord Ji smiled, "The Heavens are always watching us— all of us."

'Is that any different from the saying that God is always watching us?' Yuan wondered to himself.

"So what are you going to do now? Are you going to fight and reclaim your face?" Yuan asked a mont later.

"No, I won't fight you. Violence isn't always the answer, and the Ji Family has their own thods to deal with you."

"However, let's see what the Heavens have to say about this."

Lord Ji suddenly retrieved a clear double terminated crystal and raised it above him.

"Judgnt!" He shouted a mont later.

A sea of white clouds began gathering above their location, but the clouds started turning darker in color as ti passed.

Within monts, the once white clouds were pitch black.

BANG!

A single lightning strike suddenly descended from the black clouds and struck the crystal in Lord Ji's grasp.

The clear crystal began changing colors shortly after, and within monts, it beca just like the clouds— pitch black.

"T-This is…" Lord Ji appeared to be shocked and terrified at the sa ti when he saw the results.

He stared at the black crystal with wide eyes as the clouds began to disperse.

'Feng Feng, I have a bad feeling about this. Do you know what he's doing?" Yuan asked her.

"The Lords have the ability to call upon the Heavens for judgnt of certain individuals. This is my first ti witnessing it personally, but I have heard rumors. If the crystal turns golden, it ans the Heavens are willing to forgive that person. The crystal can also turn red, but that ans punishnt for the person it judged."

"However, I have never heard of a pitch black crystal before." Feng Yuxiang said in a puzzled voice.

"Is that so…" Yuan mumbled, and they all patiently waited for Lord Ji to announce the results of his judgnt.
