"Yes, it was ."
Jiang Cheng might be the most honest person in the world.
He never denies or argues about what he has done.
"Why did you kill them?"
If she wasn’t trying to win him over, Ningti would have loved to grab him by the collar, slap him twice, and question him harshly.
She really didn’t think much of this group of nuisances.
But they couldn’t just be killed!
Young Master An Siyuan, his grandfather is An Deming, Duke Bei of the Qianxing Dynasty, Daoist Palace Second Layer.
Young General Lu Qing, his great-grandfather is Grand General Lu Ran, Daoist Palace Second Layer.
Mi Yun, his master is the strongest among the National Guardian Elders, Qiu He Sword Venerable, Daoist Palace Third Layer.
Liu Jing Platform, the most talented student of Baiyu Academy in the Imperial City, and the academy’s head, Su Qingshou, is Daoist Palace Fourth Layer.
Apart from these, the grandparents and relatives of the rest are all influential figures whose involvent can cause a great stir.
Moreover, this group of people themselves are exceptionally talented.
They hold extrely high value themselves and will beco key figures of the dynasty in the future.
And now, they’re all dead.
Even Ningti didn’t know how to end this.
Even she wouldn’t dare to kill this group of people.
Jiang Cheng seed unaware of the gravity of what he’d done.
Upon ntioning this, he even questioned it.
"I really don’t understand what’s wrong with the people here."
"I didn’t provoke them, and suddenly they barged in, yelling and threatening to kill."
"Is the security in the Imperial City really that poor, with no one managing such trespass?"
"No one has co to comfort my hurt soul till now."
"Is this how you treat guests?"
"If I didn’t have a bit of self-defense skills, I’d have died unjustly today!"
"Truly unlucky!"
You’ve killed them all, and it’s just considered a bit of self-defense?
And a hurt soul?
I saw how you were grinning ear-to-ear while picking up the spoils of war, not a trace of sadness on your face.
Ningti bit her lip, itching to puml this person who was flipping the situation.
Yet, she couldn’t rebut.
That group did co to kill, so indeed they were in the wrong.
"Then how did you kill them?"
"Did the Three-Eyed Tiger intervene?"
"Where is it? Could it show itself?"
These 13 deceased were all of the Celestial Fate Realm, with 10 of them above the Celestial Fate Fourth Layer, stronger than Jiang Cheng.
Yet, in just a few monts, they were completely annihilated.
The only possible explanation they could think of was that the Three-Eyed Tiger acted in secret.
This made Brother Cheng burst with rage.
Bringing up that useless tiger again, and attributing his war achievents to it!
How long is this going to last?
"I killed them myself, got it?"
"This group of nobodies isn’t worth enough for to even break a sweat."
This group was indeed killed by him.
Upon confirming that Young Master An, Young General, and others ca to teach him a lesson, perhaps even to kill him...
He didn’t even bother asking their nas and took the initiative to attack first.
When action is needed, he acts without hesitation.
Originally, he thought he might die once more and resurrect with his tricks, after all, Insight had shown their Realm.
Who knew the battle would go smoothly and be incredibly simple.
The first strike eliminated Young Master An, and the next took down Young General and Mi Yun, leaving them vomiting blood and severely injured.
He indeed forgot that his power was no longer the sa as before.
With the Radiant Divine Mansion, last ti he was Celestial Fate First Layer and fought Xiang Ba of the Celestial Fate Ninth Layer to a standstill, and now he was at Celestial Fate Fourth Layer.
Plus, he possessed the Five Elents Martial Dao Realm at Immortal Tier Level.
What did that an?
A casual strike surpassed the limits of the Celestial Fate Level.
Lastly, he also had the Azure Dragon Bloodline’s augntation.
This bloodline allowed his Divine Soul to carry a trace of Azure Dragon Suppression, and although this group wasn’t of the Dragon Race, there was still a certain suppressive effect.
This battle, he was like a tiger among sheep, with no enemies able to withstand him.
The 13 opponents didn’t even have a chance to escape.
Effortlessly, he left none alive, so much so that even he found it sowhat unbelievable after it ended.
This battle truly showcased his power.
Unfortunately, such a splendid battle was only witnessed by two palace maids.
And because he was inexperienced in this, he forgot to bring out his puppet cheering squad to boost morale before striking.
He only rembered after it ended.
"Sect Leader Jiang, this is no ti for jokes."
"Do you know the consequences of killing those people?"
"I suggest you let Senior Three-Eyed Tiger co out and handle this matter personally."
Ningti naturally didn’t believe him.
She and the Green Skirt Palace Maid couldn’t care less now, they just wanted to et with the Three-Eyed Tiger as soon as possible.
Jiang Cheng was very annoyed and couldn’t be bothered to continue talking with this ignorant woman.
"Believe it or not!"
With that, he returned to his sleeping quarters.
The two won left behind were not in a pleasant mood.
Ningti’s so-called plan to alleviate the situation by deepening their impression failed ahead of ti.
And this group being killed, how to deal with the giants behind them?
This was enough to give them a headache.
On the other hand, Emperor Xiang Gaoye was eting privately with Xiahou Jun.
"Are you sure Jiang Cheng is the killer of Ba’er?"
"There’s at least a 90% chance!"
Jiang Cheng had produced Xiang Ba’s Spiritual Artifact at the ti, with conclusive evidence.
"Not only did Ningti not capture him, but she also treated him well?"
Xiang Gaoye’s face was frighteningly grim.
Xiahou Jun solemnly replied, "Yes, Your Highness. Even I can’t fathom the princess’s intentions."
Xiang Gaoye fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "With Ningti’s temperant, this can’t possibly be out of affection."
"In my view, she’s most likely seen sothing unusual in Jiang Cheng."
Xiahou Jun frowned and said, "Aside from his looks, I really can’t see anything special about Jiang Cheng."
Xiang Gaoye let out a cold laugh.
"He dared to admit killing Xiang Ba in front of you all, don’t you wonder why?"
"This..."
Xiahou Jun suddenly understood.
Unless Jiang Cheng is a fool, he must have enough trump cards to ensure he wouldn’t die at that ti.
The emperor’s wisdom runs deep, seeing further than anyone else despite not being present.
"That Jiang Cheng is not as simple as he appears, have him watched in secret."
"Yes!"
Just as Xiahou Jun was about to leave, he saw a stream of light gently float in from outside.
Finally, it settled on the emperor’s desk.
Xiang Gaoye reached out a finger to touch it, and monts later, his expression changed dramatically, and he stood up suddenly.
"He dared to kill so many people!"
"What’s wrong, Your Majesty?"
Xiahou Jun didn’t understand, only assuming that sothing monuntal had occurred.
Otherwise, this emperor, who was typically inscrutable, wouldn’t exhibit such an extre reaction.
It was already unnecessary for Xiang Gaoye to explain.
Outside, a large group of people was pounding on the palace gates, causing a commotion, even beating the Dragon-Surprised Drum!
Upon receiving the summons, Lu Ran, An Deming, Su Qingshou, Qiu He Sword Venerable and others all gathered.
"Your Majesty, please seek justice for us!"
"My grandson was killed by the friend Jiang Cheng brought back with the princess, it was so tragic..."
"Your Majesty, Jiang Cheng is too ruthless, please intervene personally!"
"Please allow to mobilize troops to surround the princess’s mansion and tear Jiang Cheng to pieces!"
"Jiang Cheng must be eliminated to quell the public outrage!"
