"Because City Lord Bai offended the King of Eastern Spirit City..." Gao Fei recounted the events just as they had happened, without exaggeration or omission, simply stating the facts.
"Nonsense." After listening, the Emperor became furious, his angry voice thundering through the skies, "The King of Eastern Spirit City has quite the gall! To dare behead a city lord I personally ennobled! What I find most abhorrent is that he actually bent the laws for personal gain, avenging his son by wrongfully killing a city lord. He really went too far."
"Your Majesty, only you can save City Lord Bai now."
"Rest assured, I will definitely save him."
"We should leave right now, City Lord Bai could be beheaded at any moment."
"Let's go!"
The Emperor swept up Gao Fei and flew towards Eastern Spirit City at a speed that rivaled meteors. From a distance, one could only see a streak of light, with no trace of their figures.
