Chapter 261: The confrontation between the Golden Immortal Ancestor and the new emperor's crisi
His lips trembled slightly, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle.
After a long while, Zhao Chongyi slowly spoke:
"I said...but you have to promise me to let my family go."
At this moment, a powerful spiritual power wave suddenly came from outside the interrogation room.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in the interrogation room like a ghost.
The person who came was Zhao Wuji, the ancestor of the Zhao family.
He has white hair but a sharp gaze, and he exudes the terrifying aura of a peak Golden Immortal.
As soon as he appeared, the air in the entire court seemed to freeze.
"Who dares to touch the descendants of my Zhao family!"
Zhao Wuji roared angrily, his voice was like a loud bell, making everyone's eardrums hurt.
He glanced at everyone with cold eyes, finally falling on Li Tian, full of threats and provocations.
Li Tian's heart trembled. Although he was at the early stage of Golden Immortal, he still felt pressured when facing Zhao Wuji, who was at the peak of Golden Immortal.
However, he quickly calmed down, met Zhao Wuji's gaze without fear, stood up, and the royal aura and spiritual power on his body blended together, and his momentum was not inferior at all.
"Zhao Wuji, your descendants are colluding with other forces to rebel. No one can protect him today!"
Li Tian's voice was firm and powerful, and it echoed in the interrogation room for a long time.
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly:
"You are just an outsider, and you want to accuse my Zhao family of treason? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are on the throne?"
As he spoke, the spiritual power in his hands condensed, and the powerful sense of oppression made many ministers present unable to help but take a few steps back.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan immediately stood beside Li Tian, her spiritual power surging around her, and she fought side by side with Li Tian against Zhao Wuji's pressure:
"Ancestor Zhao, Zhao Chongyi's crimes are beyond doubt. If you insist on protecting him, you will be the enemy of the entire Great Chu!"
Although Liu Ruyan is a late Golden Immortal and cannot compare to Zhao Wuji, she is not afraid at all for the sake of Li Tian and Da Chu.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was tense and a big battle was about to break out.
At this critical moment, a golden light flashed across the sky like lightning and instantly penetrated the dome of the hall.
In front of everyone, he transformed into an old man with an immortal look.
It was Liu Yichen, the ancestor of the royal Liu family. He was wearing a golden robe fluttering in the wind, and his body exuded the powerful aura of a peak Golden Immortal.
The pressure from Zhao Wuji was counteracted by the other, and for a moment the tense atmosphere in the interrogation room was delicately balanced.
"Zhao Wuji, stop being so presumptuous!"
Liu Yichen's voice was like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in the hall and shaking the ground slightly.
His eyes were as sharp as lightning as he stared directly at Zhao Wuji, his eyes full of unquestionable majesty.
"How can the imperial court of my Liu family allow your Zhao family to act recklessly? Zhao Chongyi is planning a rebellion, and no one will protect him today!"
Zhao Wuji's face darkened. He didn't expect that the ancestor of the Liu family would show up at this time.
But as the ancestor of the Zhao family, how could he retreat easily?
"Liu Yichen, please stop meddling in other people's business! This Li Tian is just an outsider who usurped the throne of Great Chu. My Zhao family is only thinking about the country of Great Chu. How can this be considered treason?"
Li Tian looked at the confrontation between the two peak Golden Immortals, and secretly felt fortunate that the ancestor of the Liu family showed up in time.
He took the opportunity to stand up, holding the stack of evidence tightly in his hand, and said loudly:
"Zhao Chongyi is plotting a rebellion, intending to overthrow the Chu State and control the court. If the Zhao family really cares about the Chu State, they should kill their relatives for the sake of justice, instead of confusing right and wrong!"
Liu Ruyan also took a step forward, looking at Zhao Wuji with a dignified look in her beautiful eyes:
"Ancestor Zhao, I think you are my senior and I have always respected you. But today Zhao Chongyi committed such a serious crime. As a member of the Great Chu royal family, I cannot tolerate it. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship!"
Zhao Wuji knew in his heart that the situation was not favorable to him at the moment.
But he still held out hope and tried to save the situation.
"Humph, even if the evidence is here, you can't convict Zhao Chongyi based on your one-sided statement alone. There may be some conspiracy!"
Liu Yichen sneered:
"Zhao Wuji, how long are you going to keep quibbling? Today I will convince you!"
As he spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a golden light shot out from his hands, transforming into a huge mirror in the air.
The mirror began to reveal images of Zhao Chongyi secretly colluding with various forces and planning a rebellion, and every detail was extremely clear.
When Zhao Wuji saw these scenes, his face turned extremely ugly.
He knew that the situation could not be reversed today.
But he was still unwilling to admit defeat, and the spiritual power in his hands surged again, ready to fight to the death.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yichen immediately increased his own pressure and collided violently with Zhao Wuji's spiritual power.
For a moment, spiritual energy overflowed in the interrogation room, the tables and chairs were overturned by the strong airflow, and the ministers dodged one after another.
Li Tian and Liu Ruyan looked at each other, and they understood each other. They each used their spiritual power to join the confrontation.
Although their cultivation was not as good as that of the two ancestors, their combined strength at this moment also brought considerable pressure to Zhao Wuji.
Lin Wanqiu and Liu Ruobing also took action.
Their spiritual power was like sharp blades, stabbing towards Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji finally realized that he was in a completely desperate situation today.
"Good, good, good!"
Zhao Wuji said the word "good" three times in a row, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Today, our Zhao family admits defeat, but we will never let this matter rest!"
After saying this, he disappeared in the interrogation room in a flash.
With Zhao Wuji's departure, the tense atmosphere in the interrogation room finally eased.
Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Yichen:
"Thank you for your help, Old Ancestor. If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened today."
Liu Yichen ignored Li Tian's thanks. His expression was stern, and his eyes moved back and forth between Li Tian and Liu Ruyan.
Although the pressure from the peak Golden Immortal level around him has been restrained, he still exudes an awe-inspiring aura.
He spoke slowly, his voice low but clear, every word carrying unquestionable majesty:
"Li Tian, today's matter has come to an end for now, but I still can't let go of the fact that you ascended the throne."
Li Tian's heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface, and said with a folded hand:
"Please tell me frankly, if Li Tian has done anything inappropriate, I will humbly accept your advice."
Liu Yichen frowned slightly, his eyes full of scrutiny:
"Although you have the merit of repelling Wei, you are still an outsider. The Chu Kingdom has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation. The affairs of the court are complicated. Your understanding of our Chu Kingdom is just the tip of the iceberg. This throne concerns the lives of all people in the world. I am really worried that you will not be able to take on this great responsibility."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but take a step forward and said anxiously:
"Grandmaster, although Li Tian comes from the outside world, he has great ambitions for Da Chu. Since he ascended the throne, the reforms he has implemented have begun to bear fruit, and Da Chu is also steadily reviving. He will surely lead Da Chu to prosperity."
