The pressure of Divinity Transformation Peak instantly enveloped Li Jizhou and the other two.
Without them needing to say anything, Shangguan Qiufeng's eyes slightly moved, and that Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect flew out again.
"Buzz Buzz Buzz~"
Seeing the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect, which could disregard laws and sense, approaching, Ji Yue and Zhao Tianyuan both bore angry expressions but remained calm and composed.
They weren't worried about investigation as they hadn't done anything.
Li Jizhou, however, stared directly at the approaching Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Although he had the Celestial Venerable Dharma Realm to enter by himself without directly confronting Shangguan Qiufeng.
But due to the presence of this insect, although Shangguan Qiufeng couldn't sense him, this insect could point him in the right direction.
If at that time, he never lifted the restriction here, keeping oneself here could truly waste time.
Furthermore, if he trapped himself here and then brought in some treasure from the family, or summoned the Immortal Daoist, the Celestial Venerable Dharma Realm wouldn't be effective.
Shangguan Qiufeng's gaze swept over the three, then focused entirely on the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect, wrapping it with magical power to prevent any incident.
"Swoosh~"
However, in the next moment, Shangguan Qiufeng felt a force of time swirling, everything quickly retreating.
During the time reversal, he lost control over the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect.
And within Li Jizhou's connection with the Spring and Autumn Cicada, time reversed in an instant, the surrounding spaces twisted, but the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect still continued its previous action, charging straight towards the three.
"Swoosh~" In the next instant, the time reversal ended, and time quickly returned to its original timeline.
"Squeak!" Suddenly, a Six-winged Golden Cicada turned into a golden light and reached the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect.
Shangguan Qiufeng turned pale and discovered, in an instant, that the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect somehow flew a distance forward, as if teleported.
It was this slight distance that resulted in a deviation from the anchor point he originally controlled.
A tiny error can lead to a huge mistake.
This tiny deviation directly caused him to be unable to protect the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect with magical power at the first moment.
He could only watch as the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect, which had remembered the Frog Demon's aura, was swallowed by the Six-winged Golden Cicada.
"Seeking death!" Shangguan Qiufeng roared in anger.
"Whoosh~" The Six-winged Golden Cicada, being no ordinary Gu, swallowed the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect in one bite, and instantly transformed into a golden light, flying away into the distance.
Though the Six-winged Golden Cicada showed the tier five of Divine Gu, its real strength was unknown even to Li Jizhou.
But simply relying on the possibly true prophecy: Nine cicadas unite, chaos throughout the world.
Li Jizhou was sure the Golden Cicada was not simple.
"Ah! Stop that Gu insect!" Shangguan Qiufeng shouted, instructing the guarding elders to catch the Six-winged Golden Cicada.
He, himself, kept a constant watch on the three inside the room.
However, that Golden Cicada was mysteriously peculiar, clearly only a tier-five Gu insect, yet it instantly broke through their imprisonment array, disappearing without a trace.
"You!" Shangguan Qiufeng abruptly turned to the three.
The Primordial Spirit of Divinity Transformation Peak even wanted to directly probe into their sea of consciousness to conduct soul searching one by one.
However, he knew that was absolutely impossible.
Among the three, two had already revealed their identities, one as the Fifth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the other as the Third Prince of the Cangming Dynasty, while the third, although the guardian elder hadn't appeared, was unlikely to be ordinary sitting with the other two.
With such identities, if he determined who took the Frog Demon and had the reason to first kill the Shangguan family's elder for the Potion of Immortality, tearing faces wouldn't matter.
But now, unable to determine if the other party killed the Shangguan family's elder, he dared not act!
"Hmm?" At the same time, Li Jizhou, Ji Yue, and Zhao Tianyuan exchanged glances.
Who wouldn't understand the reason behind the scene just now?
It's obvious that Shangguan Qiufeng's claim that someone killed their elder was true, and it could be confirmed that it was among the three of them.
But as for who?
Ji Yue couldn't be sure, because she couldn't guarantee Zhao Tianyuan hadn't done it.
Similarly, Zhao Tianyuan couldn't be sure if Ji Yue had done it.
As for Li Jizhou, they couldn't be sure either.
So, the intention of the person who acted just now was clear, it was to muddy the waters so Shangguan Qiufeng couldn't judge.
However, they guessed wrong because Li Jizhou simply wanted the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect dead, so he could anytime hide in the Celestial Venerable Dharma Realm, ordinary people not knowing his realm rules wouldn't know he was still hiding in the void, while most sensing no aura would think he used the Teleportation Talisman Class to leave.
At the moment, Li Jizhou found the scene quite interesting.
He was curious how Shangguan Qiufeng would respond to such a situation.
"Don't make the mistake, with your status, if you speak the reason, or if our Shangguan family elder was wrong first, our Shangguan family isn't unreasonable, we only wish for an explanation this time.
However, if you stubbornly refuse, when our ancestor descends with the Profound Celestial Mirror, it will be too late for anything."
Shangguan Qiufeng finally suppressed the rage inside, speaking in a flat tone.
"Hmph! This lady wouldn't dare do something she's not willing to admit. You Shangguan family have quite the impressive demeanor, let me see what you dare do to me?" Ji Yue was the first to say coldly.
"Indeed, this young man is always upright and outspoken, if I haven't done it, then I haven't done it. If your Shangguan family wants to bully me, you'd better weigh the consequences!" Zhao Tianyuan immediately spoke, the tone full of threat.
Shangguan Qiufeng's face turned dark, yet he couldn't say a word, before determining if they killed the Shangguan family's elder, their threats truly held weight.
In the end, he directed his gaze towards Li Jizhou, whose identity was yet unconfirmed.
Li Jizhou casually smiled: "I've long heard how the Shangguan family acts mighty and domineering in Eastern Desolation, controlling the heaven and earth. Seeing today, it is indeed true, truly terrifying."
The sarcasm was evident.
Shangguan Qiufeng was silent.
This situation truly placed him in an impossible position.
Especially now as he calmed down, recalling the scene just now made him even more cautious.
To be able to wield Divine Abilities controlling the time law, a tier-five Gu insect... most crucially, one of these Foundation Establishment Stage individuals before him cast it.
This showed the profound heritage of Central State's royal family.
"Hmph! This lady has lost her enthusiasm, now wishing to return for cultivation." Ji Yue stood up, never having suffered such grievance from childhood to now.
She had just received the transmission from the guardian elder, learning what happened in that instant, feeling less inclined to get involved.
With her Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, she hadn't perceived the time reversal just now, for that instant was too quick, and the time law was beyond her comprehension.
But having heard the guardian elder's transmission, she understood the terror of that moment.
If the target was her, the guardian elder couldn't have saved her.
Now, she suspected more of Zhao Tianyuan's methods.
Because the background that the other Daoist friend from Huang Mountain showed seemed insufficient to possess such a trump card.
"Can't leave!" Shangguan Qiufeng resolutely stopped.
Ji Yue's eyes turned cold: "Granny."
Following, the elderly lady appeared by Ji Yue's side, quietly looking at Shangguan Qiufeng: "Hmph, this old one has shown enough face. Now, it's your own inability to judge. What? Do you want to imprison my young master?"
"Young Master, let's go." The elderly lady blocked in front of Ji Yue, protecting her as they strode out of Celestial Fragrance Tower.
Shangguan Qiufeng's face turned dark, yet he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Previously, with the Golden Armored Celestial Origin Insect, he was confident of accurately locating the target, so he dared to be firm, but now, he's lost his past confidence.
"Hmph, this young man will leave too, I want to see who dares stop me!" Zhao Tianyuan also stood up and left, his guardian elder quickly blocking his front.
Immediately, only Li Jizhou remained.
