The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

The Half-Sages focused their attention on Madam Ru trapped within the light shield.

Wine Sage was the first to act and set up an isolation formation on the First Level, preventing others outside of the level from seeing what was happening.

This was to avoid unneeded disturbances.

Wine Sage solemnly said, "She has turned crazed! She is emitting Devil Energy…"

"The escaped Witch might be involved, maybe she was infected by the Witch?" Plant Sage commented.

"Old Cai. Your Ji Mo Clan did not notice anything strange about her all this time?"

"She did not display any signs normally and was only acting extremely paranoid. I have tolerated her actions for the sake of the deceased Wu Hui and her identity as Brat Ya's birth mother… To think that, ai, she has already stepped into the Devil's Path! Let this old man test her."

Sage Cai increased the pressure of the light shield onto Madam Ru.

"Mu Rong Ru, how dare you escape the Spirit Lock Formation. Speak, how are you related to the Devil Eye?"

Madam Ru vomited a mouth of blood due to the pressure applied to her.

She had broken her vow as a King Spirit Master and received a backlash. She only managed to keep her cultivation realm by quickly pushing her cultivation to Mid King Spirit Master before the backlash. However, the internal injuries from the backlash were still present.

Later, she was caught and imprisoned in the Spirit Lock Formation. Her internal injuries had been unable to recover and even worsened over time.

Now, a Half-Sage was interrogating her, causing her mind to receive another powerful blow. She roared, "Ji Mo Ya is my son. I am here to attend his wedding, I am not wrong!"

"Where did the Devil Energy on you come from? Confess!"

"Devil Energy? No, no. I did not have Devil Energy, I did not practice in Devil Arts, I am not Zi Xi…" Madam Ru used her divine sense to inspect herself and noticed that her body was shrouded in black energy.

Madam Ru instantly started to calm down. If she was only causing a scene during her son's wedding and fought with him, there would likely not be any threat to her life.

However, now Devil Energy has appeared. There was a chance she might be exterminated in an instant!

"The Witch had sent you several Spirit Cranes before she started escaping. You must have contributed to the escape of that Witch, right? Speak, as an esteemed King Spirit Master, how can you be controlled by Devil Energy?"

The Half-Sages were all solemn.

Even Little Treasure also stopped crying. The only people present on the First Level were Ji Mo Ya, Huan Qing Yan, Bai Li Ren, Ji Mo Wu Chang, the five Sages and the overwhelmed Madam Huan.

Huan Qing Yan continued to softly pat Little Treasure, consoling him.

She was feeling slightly worried that Madam Huan would be unable to hold herself against the powerful energies emitted by the Half-Sage. Ji Mo Ya had tacitly helped Madam Huan defend half of the energies emitted by the Half-Sage.

Madam Ru was the centre of the pressure and was finally starting to panic, "Little Ya, I did not know why I acted so rashly today as well. I did not intend to eat you… Little Ya, I am still your mother, I gave birth to you, why would I want to eat you? I do not have Devil Energy on me, I am a King Spirit Master. I would have noticed if Devil Energy was on me, how could I not know?"

Sage Cai increased his power, causing the light shield's glow to intensify, "Chicanery!"

The light shield was sealed, preventing any sound from coming out anymore.

Seeing that her pleas were not successful, Madam Ru started cursing out, but no one outside could hear her. However, judging by her mouth, it was undoubtedly something ugly to the ears…

As she scolded, Madam Ru suddenly became powerless and collapsed onto the ground. Blood was flowing out from her seven orifices, looking half dead.

At that moment, a black whirlpool appeared above Madam Ru's head; the vortex looked like an eye, and it was looking at Ji Mo Ya and Huan Qing Yan with venomous intent. Next, it turned to look at everyone present…
