"Today... I come to Light City to kill the one who killed me back then."

Millions of iron scales from Skytop whistled back, floating around Gu Shen’s Divine Concealing Cloak array.

Gu Shen raised his finger again, pointing at Jia Wei.

The iron scales vibrated.

As Gu Shen lifted his finger, forming dozens of iron swords, the entire Red Lake resonated with the sound of swords, each sword pointed its tip at Jia Wei.

This statement carries considerable weight.

Before today, no one knew how the "East Continent S-level genius" Gu Shen actually died.

Rumor always had it that Gu Shen perished in the wildfire eruption of Tanyao.

But that was simply too absurd.

A dignified S-level genius, dying in such a long-brewing natural disaster? Although the Sangzhou Cave mission was perilous, the withdrawal of the Five Continents was quite timely... The Changye Five Families never believed in this ridiculous conclusion, but tragically, the investigation team spent six years running around with no results.

They suspected the Storm Church, suspected the Source Tower, and of course, also suspected Light City.

But the Sangzhou Cave had already sunk.

Without evidence, this so-called suspicion... would never hold any meaning.

Everyone felt that "Gu Shen’s death" had become a foregone conclusion; some matters, if unsolved in a year, would remain unsolved for ten years or even a hundred years.

In the absence of any evidence due to the subsidence of Sangzhou Cave, to demonstrate that a dead person was plotted against and killed by conspiracy.

Unless.

This dead person comes forward to testify in person.

What a ridiculous notion?

...

...

And now, the "dead person" indeed stepped forward.

The entire Red Lake once again fell into silence.

Including the Transcendents watching from hundreds of miles away in the deep water area.

Six years had passed, and Gu Shen was still alive.

This was a matter even more absurd than Gu Shen’s death.

Gu Shen raised his palm, tossing out a mass of Chi Huo, as flames burned, the spiritual memory image sealed for six years now burned above Red Lake.

He was showing "evidence" to everyone.

After six years of desolation in the Ice Sea.

This segment of the image had cycled countless times in Gu Shen’s Heart Sea.

Chi Huo burned, reflecting the scene of Tanyao Volcano, the first-person perspective when Gu Shen was assassinated, he had just left the range covered by the wildfire when a sharp long spear pierced his chest.

That was exactly Jia Wei’s Light Breaking Spear.

This scene left countless Holy Judges bewildered, and left Batu, standing on the mountainside of Sunset Mountain, pale-faced.

They had never heard of this.

Jia Wei’s assassination of Gu Shen in Sangzhou Cave was highly confidential.

"The one who assassinated Gu Shen was Jia Wei?!"

With Luo Yu’s angry shout.

At this moment, everyone from the Gu Family Envoy all stood up suddenly.

Today, by Red Lake’s shore, it wasn’t just the Gu family present.

The North Continent visitors from Central City also stood up, releasing streams of hostile spiritual power...

Because of the differing beliefs of the two continents, Transcendents from the Southern Continent were few, so the delegates from East Continent and North Continent almost made up half of Red Lake’s shore.

The spiritual channel within the Holy Judge Army was bubbling. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Batu received inquiries from countless subordinates.

His forehead and back were drenched in sweat.

Just minutes ago, he was mocking the stupidity of this "mastermind" standing in the light.

But at this moment.

He suddenly realized... the brilliance of this move.

The biggest mystery of the past six years was unveiled today, like a long knife, directly pointing at the waist and abdomen of Light City, and yet the temple couldn’t take "suppression" measures at this moment—

Today was the grand day of Red Lake’s final selection, the temple personally opened permissions, inviting the Five Continents to witness together.

At this moment, the Holy Light Barrier was torn apart, and this scene by Red Lake’s shore was being broadcasted live across the world.

He could only hope that everything Gu Shen said was a conspiracy, fabrication, and false accusation.

If Jia Wei firmly denied it.

Then there might still be a turnaround.

But...

Staring at the burning Chi Huo above the lake shore, Jia Wei responded with a blank expression.

"Yes, it was me."

Facing numerous questioning, puzzled, curious, and hostile gazes.

His tone remained calm, as if what he did back then was just a trivial matter.

"If I could do it again, I would still do the same."

Jia Wei paused slightly, then said coldly, "Because you are the successor of the ’Netherworld King’."
