Chapter 4184
The Nine Heaven Emperor did not want to say more and waved his hand, motioning for General Grunt to get up on his feet.
Without delay, General Grunt stood up and trembled as he took his seat.
The Nine Heaven Emperor turned to Master Magaera and smiled. "Master Magaera, fortunately, you had sharp eyes. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark."
’Your Majesty, you're too kind. It's my duty," Master Magaera sat down and said.
Then, he turned to General Grunt and said, "General Grunt, don't blame me. I've always been honest and upright. I wasn't finding fault with you."
General Grunt snickered and said humbly, "Your Excellency, you're too kind.
I committed a huge crime. How could I blame you?"
Suddenly, a Grand Weapon rushed in and said to the Nine Heaven Emperor, "Your Majesty, Solar... Solar General is crying for justice outside the palace.’
As if he was being struck by lightning, General Grunt was dazed and his mind turned blank. ’What? Solar General's still alive? That's impossible. I crushed his fairy soul in front of His Majesty. I even ordered the subordinates to bury him a few meters away on a mountain north of the Imperial Sky Palace.'
At the same time, everyone exclaimed and the officials whispered among themselves.
"Solar General is crying for justice?"
"I was just wondering why didn't I see Solar General..."
"I was wondering too."
As they spoke, the officials were confused. The Nine Heaven Emperor had not announced that General Grunt had killed Solar General in the secret chamber and so they had been kept in the dark.
The Nine Heaven Emperor scowled and raised his hand. "Bring him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the Grand Weapon answered and ran out.
Soon, the Grand Weapon returned with a person in bad shape. The person was covered in mud, his hair was messy, and his face was pale. However, his eyes flickered with hesitation.
It was Solar General. He had not died the night before. He ate the Second Life Elixir and came back to life. 2
Previously, the fiend race armies had set up tents a few meters away from the Imperial Sky Palace. During that period, Solar General, the officials, tens of thousands of Grand Weapons, and generals had felt pressured. Solar General had a hunch that once the war started, the Imperial Sky Palace would be compromised and everyone would not be able to escape. He also thought he would be killed by the fiend race. That was why he took the Second Life Elixir before he met Darryl the night before.
As the name implied, the Second Life Elixir was able to protect one's life, but after coming back to life, one would lose more than half of their power.
After taking the Second Life Elixir, Solar General bumped into Darryl, who came to deliver a letter and then was framed by General Grunt. Then, he was killed in the secret chamber.
