"Kill all the members of the Demon-Hunting Bureau?"

Upon hearing Yin Shan's words, all the cultivators present looked at Gu Chi in horror.

The Demon-Hunting Bureau was an important department of the imperial court, with high status and power. Not to mention their strength, which was comparable to the Nine Great Sects. The Silver Armored Blade Guards, who were their main force, numbered over five thousand, and each of them was a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm. They were skilled in battle formations and could even defeat ordinary cultivators at the Transcendent Realm.

Furthermore, there were experts like Yin Shan, who was at the late-stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Provoking them was worse than provoking the Nine Great Sects.

The most crucial point was that they represented the imperial court!

Killing the members of the Demon-Hunting Bureau was equivalent to rebellion!

This crime couldn't be described as serious enough. If they really pursued it, it could lead to collective punishment.

"I guess you might not shed tears until you see the coffin, so I brought witnesses." Xu Zibai, also from the Sub-authorities, spoke this time. He was dressed like a nobleman, holding a closed folding fan in his hand. He chuckled and waved the fan, saying, "Bring the person here."

The person who came was none other than Li Zhouhe, whom even the Patriarch didn't want to address as Gu Chi.

With Li Jiu's supervision and the silence of Disorderly Sword Gate's Sect Master Qi Bai, Li Zhouhe knew that he couldn't provoke Gu Chi. After Gu Chi left Fuyan Sect, Li Zhouhe buried his "hatred for stealing his wife" deep in his heart.

Upon careful consideration, it was clear that someone of Gu Chi's level couldn't possibly marry Yan Yanyan. As long as some time passed and Yan Yanyan forgot about Gu Chi, he would still have a chance to marry her.

However, half a month ago, when Li Zhouhe learned about Gu Chi marrying the Holy Maiden, he knew that his opportunity had come.

Excitedly, he took the news to Fuyan Sect to find Yan Yanyan, thinking that Gu Chi's marriage and his own deep affection would make the girl change her mind. But Yan Yanyan flatly refused and told him that she would rather remain single or never marry than marry him.

Yan Yanyan had never liked Li Zhouhe, so how could she change her mind?

This sentence undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Li Zhouhe, causing the hatred that had been buried in his heart for a year to resurface uncontrollably.

So he reported Gu Chi to the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

Gu Chi wasn't surprised that Li Zhouhe appeared here. He hadn't erased Li Jiu and Li Zhouhe's memories, so he expected this day to come.

Besides, the Demon-Hunting Bureau couldn't catch him anyway, and the wanted order would only increase his reputation.

Moreover, with Li Zhouhe's deep affectionate nature, even if he wanted his love rival dead, he probably wouldn't involve Yan Yanyan. Fuyan Sect could still be his undercover agents.

And the reality turned out just as he had expected.

Even though Yan Yanyan cut Li Zhouhe's infatuation into two halves with her cold words, Li Zhouhe didn't expose Fuyan Sect.

He only said that he happened to pass by a wild tea shop on the side of the mountain road and overheard Gu Chi's conversation with someone, where Gu Chi admitted to being the Patriarch of Mountain Ghost Sect.

However, one couldn't predict everything. Gu Chi had considered various possibilities, but he never expected to form a marriage bond with Huang Yang in the secret realm. Otherwise, he could have just left now, casually taking care of a few branches of the Demon-Hunting Bureau on the way. What could Yin Shan do to him?

But now it seemed that he had no choice but to kill.

Li Zhouhe was brought to the fighting arena by the Silver Armored Blade Guards. Xu Zibai, in front of everyone, asked, "Is it him?"

In fact, Li Zhouhe was already a little scared when he saw this lineup. The Ten Continents Sword Trial was a grand event in the martial world, and everyone present was a big shot. Just a breath from them could kill him. There were countless people from Qihuang Terrace, and with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, Li Zhouhe instinctively felt fear.

He didn't think so much when he reported to the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

But now, Li Zhouhe had no way out.

If he didn't become the witness, it would be like mocking the Demon-Hunting Bureau. He would undoubtedly die, but if he honestly pointed out Gu Chi, there might still be a way out.

Li Zhouhe looked at Gu Chi, who had a calm expression, and ignored the murderous gazes from Huang Yang and Xia Ling beside him. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's him! He is the Patriarch of Mountain Ghost Sect!"

Yin Shan sneered, "Do you have any more questions?"

No more questions.

In fact, when Yin Shan said he was going to arrest someone, Xia Ling wasn't surprised when she saw Gu Chi's expression. She knew that Gu Chi must have killed the person, but she couldn't let the Demon-Hunting Bureau take Gu Chi away, otherwise she wouldn't be able to benefit.

The Princess's Mansion couldn't control the Demon-Hunting Bureau. The only person who could command the Demon-Hunting Bureau was the current emperor.

By the time she went back to ask the emperor for help, Gu Chi might already be dead.

It was too easy for the Demon-Hunting Bureau to kill someone in prison.

So even if there were no questions, they had to find some.

Xia Ling glanced at Li Zhouhe and said, "How can you prove that he is not someone brought by the Demon-Hunting Bureau?"

As soon as Mr. Liu heard this, he knew that the young lady was going to cause trouble again, and he couldn't help but feel bitter.

Oh my, young miss, aren't you forcing the people from the Demon-Hunting Bureau to take action?

These guys are not easy to deal with...

Yin Shan narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that, Princess?"

Xia Ling calmly said, "I suggest you go back and investigate again."

Xu Zibai tilted his head and said with great interest, "So, Princess, you want to protect him?"

Xia Ling replied calmly, "What if I do?"

Huang Yang's gaze shifted from Li Zhouhe to Yin Shan, "If you want to arrest someone here, you need to ask if Qihuang Mountain agrees.""I remember according to the law, as long as there is suspicion, the Demon-Hunting Bureau can arrest people, right? Does the princess and the Holy Maiden not even understand this?" Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke, "If after investigation, it turns out that the wrong person was arrested, it's not too late to release them."

The voice was deep and resonant, the tone was sarcastic, and it carried a hint of bitterness.

It seemed that the two women who had been at odds before but suddenly united had provoked him.

Xia Ling glanced over, the person hid very quickly, but she still caught a glimpse of his face.

Another cultivator said, "Indeed, this matter concerns the face of the court, it should be 'arrest first, investigate later', even if the wrong person is arrested, we absolutely cannot let the guilty party go."

A familiar voice from the Sword Sect also rang out, "Transcendent Realm cultivators have numerous methods, they can easily slaughter a city. If they harbor ill intentions, I'm afraid they will cause harm to one side, and the aftermath will be endless."

"That's right."

More people began to echo.

Huang Yang's tone was icy, "Whoever continues to spout nonsense will be an enemy of my Qihuang Mountain!"

Under normal circumstances, this sentence would be enough to deter most cultivators.

But some people were deliberately stirring up trouble.

These people were talking back and forth, and even the elders of various sects couldn't stop them.

Many cultivators and ordinary people who didn't know the truth nodded their heads, thinking that their words made sense.

It seemed that everyone thought Gu Chi should be arrested.

Only Qin Baichuan's side had been warned in advance, and with him personally sitting there, no one dared to speak casually.

The public opinion showed a one-sided trend.

Huang Yang's face was gloomy.

Murderous intent rose in Xia Ling's eyes.

Of course, these people hoped that Gu Chi would be arrested by the Demon-Hunting Bureau, and it would be best if he could be executed on the spot, otherwise how could they get a better ranking in this game?

It's not wrong for players to target players, there's no problem with playing like this.

Similarly, she had no problem wanting to kill these players.

Xu Zibai laughed, "It seems that the princess is not very popular... It's no wonder, always hanging out with the Holy Maiden's man, there's not a bit of princess-like demeanor. In my opinion, when you're out, the princess should pay more attention, you may not care, but don't lose our dynasty's face."

"How dare you!"

Mr. Liu, who had been bending over with a worried look on his face, suddenly burst out, flicked his dust whisk, and slapped Xu Zibai.

What the hell is the Demon-Hunting Bureau, they dare to insult his little master!

Xu Zibai didn't dodge or avoid, he just used his spirit power to protect his cheek, took Mr. Liu's slap hard, a clear palm print appeared on his face, he licked his mouth, and laughed instead, "Silver Armored Blade Guard, listen to my command!"

"Present!"

"Princess and Mr. Liu obstructed the Demon-Hunting Bureau's case, attacked the sub-authorities, suspected of being accomplices with Gu Changge, they can be arrested together and sent back to the capital!"

"Yes!"

The Silver Armored Blade Guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded Xia Ling and the others.

Mr. Liu's eyes were fierce, "You dare!"

"Why wouldn't we dare?" Xu Zibai's smile faded, "Do it!"

Clang!

The sound of drawing swords rang out.

The Silver Armored Blade Guards rushed forward.

Yin Shan and Xu Zibai headed straight for Gu Chi.

The kind and gentle look on Mr. Liu's face was completely gone, his spirit power suddenly exploded, and he sent the Silver Armored Blade Guards flying, his voice was filled with murderous intent.

"Your Highnesses, you go help Young Master Gu, leave these scum to this old servant!"
