Anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The more Xing Daojun's most capable assistant despises him, the better it will be for his future plans.
"Kong Sheng and Mie Xing are both the sharpest fangs of Lord Xingdao, and they must be pulled out sooner or later!"
Gu Chen murmured to himself in his heart, with a deep chill in his eyes.
…
Many days later, Gu Chen returned to the criminal world.
Just like before he left, the entire execution world was still filled with a cold, oppressive and thick metallic texture.
The eight sky-reaching giant pillars that intersect internally and externally support the world, and below, countless slaves flow like ants, driving the stable operation of this behemoth.
As soon as Gu Chen returned to the criminal world, he was summoned by the military headquarters, and Wu Li was also interrogated alone.
Different from ignoring crimes, the military department has always been strict in punishing people. Every failed general must be strictly investigated to find out the real reason for the defeat.
Especially this time, the matter of the fall of the seven realms was too big, so not only the military department conducted an investigation, but also someone from the film department interrogated Gu Chen.
Facing various interrogations, Gu Chen answered fluently according to the rhetoric he had prepared, and handed over the heads of five emperors to prove that he was not useless in the war.
Although everything had been planned, Gu Chen was still a little nervous when facing the keen judge, fearing that something had gone wrong.
He wasn't worried that Wuli would cheat on her. She had already regarded the false memory as truth and a powerful witness for herself.
What Gu Chen is really worried about is the Fang family. He leaves many detailed arrangements to the Fang family. If they make any mistakes, he will be the first to be unlucky.
The Military Department and the Film Department interrogated Gu Chen for two days but did not come to any clear conclusion. On the third day, Gu Chen went to the palace to see Lord Xingdao!
"Subordinates, please see your lord."
Above the main hall, Gu Chen saluted Lord Xingdao with his sinful body, his eyelids lowered.
The headless Dao Lord showed no expression as before, and this time there were much fewer senior officials from the Xing County in the hall than last time.
Kong Sheng, the head of the Industry Department, is still there, as are several men in black robes from the Film Department.
The military judge told Mr. Xingdao the details of the defeat. Gu Chen listened below with his heart pounding.
If the military and film departments find any loopholes, he may not be able to leave this hall alive.
Fortunately, Gu Chen listened all the way and found out that what the inquisitor said was consistent with what he thought, and they finally handed over the heads of five emperors!
All five emperors died at the hands of Gu Chen. In order to cover up the real cause of their death, Gu Chen only left their heads behind. The heads that had been dead for a long time looked a bit ferocious and scary.
"The biggest reason for the fall of the Seven Realms is the rebellion of Deputy Commander Hu Helie. Lord Gu is also responsible for his negligence."
The military judge finally came to a conclusion.
"What do you think?"
Lord Xingdao listened quietly and asked everyone present.
His voice was still so emotionless, and Gu Chen's observation skills had no effect on him.
"After all, Daoyou Gu has just arrived in our Xing County and has not yet fully taken control of the army. It is understandable that he does not know people well. When his subordinates rebelled and Lin County and the Seven Realms ambush him, he killed six emperors one after another. It is already very difficult.
"
Kong Sheng spoke for Gu Chen with a smile on his face.
"According to the information my subordinates received from the Fang family, the situation at that time was indeed difficult to recover, and it was indeed difficult for Mr. Gu to do better." A man in black robe from the film department also spoke for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen felt relieved, it seemed that he had escaped the big punishment.
Lord Xingdao heard everyone's opinions and suddenly snorted coldly!
This heavy hum hit everyone's hearts like a hammer, causing the entire hall to become silent for an instant, and Gu Chen's heart was also in suspense!
Could it be that this unfathomable Dao Lord saw something fishy?
"No matter what the reason is, no matter how dangerous the situation was at the time, if the Seven Realms are lost, they are lost. There is no point in making excuses!"
After he said this, Gu Chen could only take the initiative to apologize.
"My lord is right, my subordinate is willing to accept any punishment!"
"Very good, it's best if you know how to self-reflect."
Mr. Xingdao no longer treated Gu Chen in a special way the last time, and his voice was a bit colder.
"Our Xingjun County is founded on martial arts, and its military laws have always been known for its strictness. This time, because you lost the Seven Realms, you cannot go unpunished!"
"Today, I will put you in jail and detain you indefinitely!"
Xing Daojun said, raised his finger, and made a pattern in the air, forming a portal!
The door was wide open, and the interior was pitch black, as if leading to the Nine Nether Hells!
"Hell Star?"
Gu Chen looked moved. He had heard of this place. It was said that it was a place specially used by Xing County to detain felons. Anyone who entered that place would be tortured!
The last time I accepted the appointment, most of the top officials of Xing County were against me, but Lord Xing Dao treated me differently.
But today, several senior officials of Xing County spoke for him, but Mr. Xing Dao actually showed no mercy to him!
For a moment, Gu Chen couldn't figure out what Mr. Xingdao was thinking.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, nothing better than this!
"My lord, is this punishment a bit excessive? With Master Gu's strength, he can definitely redeem himself and make meritorious deeds."
The senior director of the film department who spoke for Gu Chen before said cautiously, if Gu Chen remembered correctly, his name is Ouyang Mo.
"Rewards will be given if you have merit, and punishment will be given if you are guilty. If you can get merit for anything, what if you make an irreversible mistake?"
Xing Daojun's words made everyone afraid to say anything. This matter is obviously a foregone conclusion!
"My lord is right, my subordinate is willing to accept punishment."
Gu Chen knew that he couldn't do anything, and he didn't show any pretense, so he strode into the door of space!
The worst possible situation is to die. A jail sentence in exchange for two major allies, Lin Jun and the Fang family, is worth it to Gu Chen.
After Gu Chen disappeared, the trial ended, and soon Xing Daojun and Kong Sheng were left in the hall.
"The master intends to beat Gu Chen, right?" Kong Sheng asked with a smile.
"Although there is no direct evidence, I have lost the seven realms as soon as this son came here. If I don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he will make trouble all the time." Mr. Xingdao snorted coldly.
"His skills are quite good. He has lost the Seven Realms so much that people can't find a handle." Kong Sheng touched his chin and praised.
"The situation in the Sea of Chaos is getting more and more chaotic. It's not just Lin Jun who is restless. I have no intention of playing with a kid."
Lord Xingdao sneered and changed the subject. "By the way, is there any news about the white-haired devil?"
"Well, we can't find his whereabouts for the time being." Kong Sheng shook his head.
Lord Xingdao was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, "I thought that the white-haired devil who controlled this kid would show up soon, but I didn't expect that there was no reaction at all. Why did he go to the ninth world in the first place?"
"No matter what his purpose is, as long as Gu Chen is in our hands, he will show up sooner or later. Master, there is no need to worry." Kong Sheng said with relief.
"I hope he will show up soon. I have a premonition that there are only a few years left before the Lijie Sea can open again..."
