Eighth Heaven!
In the Divine King Palace, the Fourth Hall Master Ling Xi was still searching for ways to rescue Chen Ping.
Maid Yun Xiu walked in quickly, then said to Ling Xi: “Fourth Hall Master, the Third Hall Master has brought people over. They have already arrived at the palace gate. Should we let him in?”
“What is he here for?”
Ling Xi frowned.
The Third Hall Master had his own palace and had no need to come to the Divine King Palace. Moreover, after the Divine King took the First Hall Master and Second Hall Master to the Ninth Heaven, he left the Divine King Palace under Ling Xi’s care. Other people from the Divine Hall were not allowed to enter the Divine King Palace casually without matters.
Now that the Third Hall Master suddenly brought people, Ling Xi knew this guy definitely had no good intentions.
“The Third Hall Master said he is here to discuss important matters with the Fourth Hall Master.”
Yun Xiu said.
“Come, follow me to see.”
Ling Xi finished speaking, brought Yun Xiu and several divine guards, and headed towards the palace gate!
Ling Xi brought Yun Xiu and several divine guards to the front of the Divine King Palace gate. She saw the Third Hall Master leading dozens of Third Hall disciples and divine guards, standing there aggressively.
The Third Hall Master’s face was gloomy, his eyes revealing greed and scheming. The disciples and divine guards behind him all had arrogant expressions, as if they already had victory in hand.
“Third Hall Master, you bringing so many people to the Divine King Palace, what important matter is it?”
Ling Xi asked coldly. Her posture was upright, her eyes showing determination and unyielding. Despite facing the numerical advantage of the Third Hall Master’s side, she showed no intention of retreating.
The Third Hall Master stepped forward, staring at Ling Xi with burning eyes, that gaze as if trying to see through her: “Fourth Hall Master, I heard that some time ago you privately took divine guards to the Sixth Heaven, resulting in many divine guards being injured. Is there such a matter?”
His voice carried a tone of interrogation, as if he had already determined that Ling Xi had unspeakable secrets.
Ling Xi frowned, pondering in her heart. This Third Hall Master was clearly prepared and deliberately picking a fight.
But she did not panic, instead responding calmly: “This matter has nothing to do with you. I led the divine guards on a mission, naturally I have my reasons.”
“Reasons?”
The Third Hall Master sneered, that laughter full of mockery. “You as the Fourth Hall Master, not stationed in the Eighth Heaven, yet privately dispatching divine guards to the Sixth Heaven, and for a man at that. This already violates the Divine Hall rules!
More importantly, you let the divine guards get injured in vain. How should this account be settled?”
He deliberately amplified the issue, trying to stir up dissatisfaction among the other divine guards, to achieve his unspeakable purposes.
Ling Xi’s face darkened, anger burning in her heart, but she still held back her fury and said: “Third Hall Master, are you interrogating me? Do not forget, now the Divine King Palace is under my care. I have the right to dispatch divine guards for missions.”
She knew the Third Hall Master had always coveted the power of the Divine King Palace. This time deliberately finding fault was to take advantage of the Divine King’s absence to seize control of the Divine King Palace.
“Care?”
A flash of greed in the Third Hall Master’s eyes, that greedy gaze as if wanting to claim everything in the Divine King Palace for himself. “I think you want to take the opportunity to occupy the Divine King Palace! With the Divine King away, you are so lawless?”
“For a Chen Ping, dispatching divine guards, and letting them get injured. You know these divine guards are to protect the Divine King Palace.”
“You care so much about Chen Ping, is it because you have something with him? Do not forget, female cultivators of the God Clan cannot combine with men of other clans.”
“If you have already been played by that Chen Ping now, then your body is dirty. You are not fit to be a God Clan woman, not fit to be a Divine Hall Hall Master.”
He deliberately led the topic to God Clan rules, trying to incite others’ emotions.
“What nonsense are you spouting!”
Ling Xi shouted in anger. She did not expect the Third Hall Master to be so shameless, openly slandering her.
