Chapter 3612
Seeing the Nine Heaven Emperor's hesitation, Grunt continued to say, "Darryl deserves to be sentenced to death for impersonating you, Your Majesty. The Ghost Valley Sage didn't hand him over and even openly went against you. Therefore, he deserves to be punished by the Heavenly Thunderbolt. There's no need to go soft on him, Your Majesty."
The Nine Heaven Emperor's eyes flashed, and he finally nodded. " Very well." He raised his right hand. The sky immediately darkened as the dark clouds gathered above them, crackling with terrifying lightning.
The Ghost Valley Sage's expression finally lost his usual composure, and he started to panic. Cultivating in Godly Region, every time a cultivator reached a certain bottleneck level, he would need to endure a tribulation to break through. In total, there were 81 tribulations. Of those 81 calamities, the lightning tribulation was the most terrifying one.
The Ghost Valley Sage had just arrived in the Godly Region not long ago and was not at a time he needed to go through a tribulation process. He did not expect the Nine Heaven Emperor to use the Heavenly Thunderbolt on him.
"Ghost Sage Valley! You openly went against His Majesty's orders which is an unforgivable offense. Now that His Majesty has summoned the Heavenly Thunderbolt, it's still not too late to surrender and hand Darryl to US. otherwise, there will be no time for regrets once the thunderbolt comes crashing down on you," Grunt said gloatingly.
The Nine Heaven Emperor frowned and said, "Ghost Valley Sage, who is Darryl? why would you risk your own life just to protect him?"
The Ghost Valley Sage exhaled lightly and calmly said, "There's no need to ask so many questions, Your Majesty. No matter what, I won't agree to your terms and conditions." Once captured, Darryl's death was guaranteed, so he would not tell him where he was no matter what.
The Nine Heaven Emperor's anger flared up again. He induced the thunderbolt to strike the Ghost Valley Sage without saying anything further. Immediately, a thunderbolt came down from the rolling dark clouds like a pillar of light and struck the Ghost Valley Sage, sending shockwaves across the entire Ghost Mountain and kicking up a dust storm. Even the small courtyard was turned into dust.
Grunt and the other officials did not feel the slightest pity for the Ghost Valley Sage. They thought he deserved that for openly going against the Nine Heaven Emperor.
Gradually, the dust settled, and the smoke dissipated. In the midst of all that, the Ghost Valley Sage was standing there. His robe was in tatters, but he was unharmed.
