"Xuan Bing Martial Emperor, how did you..." Kang Sitong was dumbfounded, staring in amazement at Xuan Bing Martial Emperor who had supported him, unable to comprehend what was happening.
He had informed Xuan Bing Martial Emperor immediately, but the distance from Xuan Bing Martial Emperor's palace to this place was vast. Even for someone of Xuan Bing Martial Emperor's capabilities, it should have taken several days to arrive.
That was why Kang Sitong was initially worried about Wang Qiming and the others, insisting on preventing them from being taken away.
In several days, who knew what might happen? Once Zhu Zishen took them away, by the time Xuan Bing Martial Emperor arrived, who knew where they would be?
Yet unexpectedly, Xuan Bing Martial Emperor had arrived so quickly.
After the shock, Kang Sitong couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He quickly bowed and said, "Xuan Bing Martial Emperor, you're... you came just in time, please save Leng Wushuang and the others..."
As he bowed, it aggravated his injuries, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Go heal your injuries first." Xuan Bing Martial Emperor said to Kang Sitong, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He patted Kang Sitong's shoulder, making his injuries seem less painful, as Kang Sitong hurriedly retreated to the side.
Leng Wushuang then turned to look at Di Tianyi, Leng Wushuang, and the others who were pressed to the ground, his eyes suddenly erupting with a chilling intent.
"Scram!"
He couldn't be bothered to waste words, coldly shouting. His eyes seemed to unleash two icy storms, and as the storm swept past, the guards of Wanbao Tower, holding down the four, felt an overwhelming chill throughout their bodies, as if their blood was freezing. They quickly let go and retreated.
However, at this moment, a core elder under Zhu Zishen moved, suddenly making a move, a terrifying true essence surged, instantly blocking Xuan Bing Martial Emperor's icy invasion, and said coldly, "Xuan Bing Martial Emperor, these four stole the Tianlong Jade from the Treasure Pavilion. They are currently incarcerated as key suspects. After you arrived, without any investigation, you want to rescue them. Isn't that excessive? As a consecrator of Wanbao Tower, you should prioritize Wanbao Tower's interests. How can you act with such disregard for personal feelings?"
"Step aside." In the face of this person's questioning, Xuan Bing Martial Emperor merely responded coldly, his gaze completely ignoring the person, only coldly looking at Zhu Zishen, saying in a chilly voice, "Zhu Zishen, order your men to step aside. If not, don't blame this emperor for being impolite."
"Zhu Zishen, you're too presumptuous." The Martial Emperor was angry, shaking with rage, despite being one of the core elders of Wanbao Tower, a mid-stage peak Martial Emperor. Yet, Xuan Bing Martial Emperor completely ignored him, making him furious and feeling as if his blood was about to boil over.
Beside him, Zhu Zishen's face also turned livid. Xuan Bing Martial Emperor was too presumptuous, acting directly as if he did not exist, which was too much.
At the same time, he was also frustrated in his heart, thinking, "Why did Xuan Bing Martial Emperor appear so quickly? It seems the previous plan didn't go as smoothly as expected, some trouble has arisen."
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Zishen naturally would not back down, coldly saying, "Xuan Bing Martial Emperor, your disciple under you, stole treasures from my Wanbao Tower's Treasure Pavilion. As the deputy tower master of Wanbao Tower, naturally, I have the duty to protect Wanbao Tower's interests. I know you're anxious for your disciple, but I implore Xuan Bing Martial Emperor to consider the bigger picture and step aside. If it's truly investigated that your disciple is not involved, I will naturally let him go."
Xuan Bing Martial Emperor's gaze turned cold. Despite having spoken, Zhu Zishen was still refusing to release them. He couldn't be bothered to waste words, only saying icily, "Zhu Zishen, I have no time for your nonsense. I only ask, will you release them or not?"
