157: Framed! Princess Yunli's self-esteem was hurt!

“I…” Mystic Shadow King felt a million grievances in his heart. This was absolutely not his intention.

It was merely an unconscious act; who knew the River God was so sensitive?

He woke up with just a slight release of Aura.

“I told you to capture someone, not to disturb the River God. Now, with this situation, how will you handle it?” Zhe Yunli quickly jumped off the boat.

Before long, the whirlpool directly swallowed the large boat, and the rolling waves transformed into a water Dragon tornado that shot straight into the sky.

In just one encounter, thousands of Martial Artists died on the spot.

Among them were many Disciples from eighth-grade forces.

It could be said the losses were extremely heavy, and all of them were meaningless losses.

Zhe Yunli angrily pointed at Mystic Shadow King’s nose and cursed, “If the River God punishes us, how will you bear it, This Princess?”

Mystic Shadow King felt incredibly wronged. He was clearly following orders, yet now he was being blamed.

He could only swallow his grievances and dared not utter another sound.

“Princess, let’s leave quickly. If we delay, there might be further complications,” Mystic Shadow King advised, bracing himself.

“Leave? When the River God is enraged, there’s no place to hide in the entire Golden Scale Que. Can we really run to the ends of the earth in such a short time?” Zhe Yunli got angry just looking at him and snorted.

“I…” Mystic Shadow King was about to say something more.

Suddenly, a golden pillar of light shot out from behind him, directly piercing the sky.

Countless people were drawn by this commotion and instinctively looked towards the source of the Aura.

“This Aura is…”

“It must be this idiot who did it!”

“Damn it, this beast wants to kill all of us.”

They immediately found the culprit, and a large group of people rushed towards the direction of the light pillar.

When they arrived, they saw Zhe Yunli’s face was pale, looking frightened.

Mystic Shadow King also had a wronged expression, clearly indicating he had been framed.

“Princess Yunli is here too?” Seeing this, everyone immediately understood.

At this moment, a graceful man stepped out from the crowd and asked softly, “Princess, don’t panic. The River God has not fully awakened. With us here, we will surely protect you.”

“Really?” Zhe Yunli asked piteously.

Seeing her appearance and expression, the man’s heart fluttered like a deer, and his face flushed as he said, “That’s right, this is a warning and punishment from the River God.”

“If there’s a next time, it won’t be this simple.”

“I’m sorry, I caused this to everyone.” Zhe Yunli covered her face and sobbed, her delicate appearance melting many hearts.

“It has nothing to do with you. It must all be caused by this beast,” the man said indignantly, his face full of righteousness. “A single punishment killed thousands of people. The instigator is to blame.”

“Tell us, did this person covet your beauty and thus coerce you? Princess, you can speak the truth, and we will surely get justice for you.”

As soon as he said this, the words Mystic Shadow King was about to say were swallowed back. He quietly watched the situation unfold.

To be honest, he had already prepared to commit suicide to atone for his sins, and then take the opportunity to say it had nothing to do with the Princess, that it was all his own doing.

He didn’t expect these people to immediately condemn Qin Han, not giving him a chance to explain the facts.

However, as Mystic Shadow King was about to say something, Zhe Yunli immediately gave him a warning look, telling him to shut up.

She then put on a desolate expression, looking as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t.

Seeing this expression, everyone immediately understood and said furiously, “What a wicked scoundrel, to commit such an outrageous act for lust, and kill so many people!”

“Princess, you’ve been startled. Don’t worry, we will definitely get justice for you!”

Zhe Yunli nodded lightly and said softly, “Thank you, everyone.”

“It’s a small matter. Even if it weren’t for the Princess, I would still avenge my fallen Senior Brothers!” the man said indignantly.

He then turned to the many Martial Artists and said loudly, “Everyone, the culprit has been found. Can we stand by and do nothing?”

“No! Kill him, to honor the spirits of our Senior Brothers in heaven!”

At this moment, a stone jumped onto a large stone and spoke in human words, “She’s lying! It was clearly this woman’s fault. It has nothing to do with my brother!”

“A talking stone?” Everyone was stunned.

“I remember this stone originally belonged to the Princess. How could it be calling this villain brother?” one person asked in confusion.

“Hmph, you don’t need to be a genius to know that this broken stone must have harbored resentment after being abandoned by the Princess and is now biting the hand that fed it.”

“It seems so. I remember the Princess cherished it immensely after getting it. It must have done something unforgivable to be abandoned and is now repaying kindness with enmity.”

“This stone is not a good thing either; kill it too.”

Hearing these words, the God-Slaying Stone was so depressed it almost vomited blood.

“How noble is This Stone’s identity that I would need to lie? The truth is, this woman tried to kill my brother, which caused this bloody disaster,” the God-Slaying Stone tried to prove itself.

“Nonsense! That fellow just now caused such a huge commotion. It would be strange if the River God didn’t wake up. Do you think we’re all blind?”

“Brother, stop wasting words on a stone. Just take it down.”

“Alright, everyone, follow me!”

With that, a large group of people rushed forward aggressively, countless hands reaching for the God-Slaying Stone.

“They’re actually framing This Stone! You dogs, with small heads controlling big ones!” How could the God-Slaying Stone be made of mud?

It immediately unleashed the God-Slaying Divine Art, violently knocking one person flying.

The immense power stunned many people.

They didn’t expect a mere stone to have such power.

It actually knocked a Divine Palace Martial Artist flying.

“Still daring to resist? Don’t let me catch you later, or I’ll suppress you in the latrine.”

“It’s one thing for that fat guy to say that, but who are you?”

The God-Slaying Stone stood its ground, single-handedly knocking hundreds of people flying.

Those who were hit in the head were bewildered; they had clearly dodged.

But why were they still hit?

“Could this stone be a transformed human? It actually possesses such a Divine Art.”

Just as the battle was at a stalemate, all the light on Qin Han’s body retracted, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Several divine lights shot out, and his Aura underwent a drastic change in an instant.

From the initial Immortal-like temperament, he transformed into an ordinary person.

Mystic Shadow King’s eyes widened in surprise upon seeing this. “Returning to one’s original simplicity?”

This was a symbol of a fundamental transformation of life.

From this, it was clear that Qin Han must have gained immense benefits.

From another perspective, his current strength was definitely stronger than before.

He wasn’t sure of the specifics, but at the very least, it was certainly not as simple as a mere Realm Breakthrough.

“He got stronger again?” Zhe Yunli’s beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity, and she bit her silver teeth tightly.

What she hated most was when someone acted superior in front of her.

When Qin Han saw her, there was no infatuation in his eyes.

Zhe Yunli had thought her charm was gone.

But when she saw the reactions of the men who wanted to get ‘justice’ for her,

She realized it wasn’t that her charm had weakened, but that Qin Han simply wasn’t interested in her.

This bruised Zhe Yunli’s self-esteem, and she was determined to make Qin Han kneel and apologize.

“Whoever can capture the culprit alive, This Princess will reward them with an emperor weapon!” Zhe Yunli shouted.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became energized, exerting all their might.

“What’s going on?” Qin Han had just awakened and saw this scene, momentarily unable to react.

“Don’t ask, hurry and help me!” The God-Slaying Stone was struggling to cope; its stony skin had many white marks from being struck by numerous divine weapons.
