The high priest came to his senses and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
At the same time, he also had great doubts about Yuwen Ji's identity.
"Is that bastard really Yuwen Ji?
How could an ignorant and ignorant loser have such scheming intentions?
And his strength... He has just broken through to the God King Realm, how can he possibly destroy the Altar of Creation and crack the King-level Supreme God Formation?"
Not to mention that when the news spread, no one believed it, not even the high priest himself believed it.
Because of this, he was even more panicked.
He must not bear this responsibility!
Ji Tianxing fled from the Creation Palace, and the high priest did not hesitate to use the secret technique of space and chased him out.
"Whoa!"
There was a flash of white light, and the high priest appeared in the brightly lit hall.
This divine palace of creation located in the imperial palace is actually fake and just a decoration to deceive others.
The True Creation Palace where he and Ji Tianxing were just now is actually hidden tens of thousands of miles underground.
At this time, the baptism ceremony had just ended.
The high priest could clearly hear the noise outside the temple.
He searched everywhere for the figure of 'Yuwen Ji', but couldn't find it at all.
Just as he was about to step out of the palace gate, he saw hundreds of elites and geniuses walking towards him full of joy and expectation.
The imperial guard guarding the gate was led by Cheng Jue, and there were dozens of imperial guards, all standing majestically at the gate.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy and expectation, and the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
But when the high priest saw this scene, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.
"It's over! I can't hide this anymore!"
The high priest knew very well that no matter what the reason was, he would be severely punished by the God Emperor if he left his post without permission and resulted in the theft of the supreme divine orb.
Moreover, if he does not take corresponding measures in time, the crime of self-stealing will really fall on him.
"Hey, High Priest, the Altar of Creation is about to be opened, why are you out?"
Just when the high priest was in confusion, Cheng Jue's voice came to his ears.
When he looked up, he saw Cheng Jue looking at him with confusion.
"I..." The high priest looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Seeing his reaction, Cheng Jue frowned and asked through a message: "High Priest, please don't tell me that there is something wrong with the Altar of Creation?
You had never left your post without permission before, but you were gone for four hours last night.
We are all colleagues, so I can pretend not to know.
However, once something goes wrong with the Altar of Creation, no one can hide it!"
After hearing what Cheng Jue said, the high priest immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He looked at Cheng Jue seriously and said in a solemn voice: "Commander Cheng, something big has happened!
The altar of creation was destroyed and the divine beads of creation were stolen!"
"Ah?" Cheng Jue was stunned on the spot. It took him a while to recover, and he chuckled and said, "High Priest, this joke is not funny at all."
"..." The high priest's face turned dark, and he said in a more solemn tone: "Commander Cheng, I'm not kidding! It's absolutely true!
It's that bastard Yu Wenji. He entered the Creation Palace in advance last night and made up a series of lies to trick me into temporarily leaving for a few hours.
When I came back, he had already destroyed the altar and stolen the divine beads!"
Seeing him taking things seriously, Cheng Jue realized that something really big had happened.
His expression also became ugly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Yuwen Ji? No wonder he tried every means to go in a few hours in advance. It turned out that he had the intention of stealing the divine beads!
This rebellious beast is so bold!"
After a pause, Cheng Jue frowned and asked: "But High Priest, this is completely unreasonable!
Yuwen Ji had just broken through to the God King realm, and he was a playboy known throughout the city.
The Altar of Creation was a king-level divine formation set up by the God Emperor back then. How could it be broken with the strength of Yuwen Ji?
Moreover, it was still possible to crack five top-level divine formations within four hours?
This is ridiculous!"
Cheng Jue believed that the Supreme Divine Pearl had been stolen, but did not believe that it was Yuwen Ji who did it.
The high priest's face became extremely ugly, and he asked angrily: "Cheng Jue, what do you mean? Do you doubt me?"
"Haha..." Cheng Jue sneered and said in a low tone: "Until the matter is investigated clearly, everyone is suspected, and we can't escape our involvement.
The top priority is to prevent these elites and geniuses from entering and immediately send people to arrest Yuwen Ji!"
"Yes! As long as we catch him, the truth will be revealed!" The high priest nodded quickly and said through gritted teeth: "I must let that little beast die without a burial place!"
Cheng Jue ignored him and quickly opened his arms to block the entrance of the shrine. He said to the hundreds of elites and geniuses: "Everyone, please stay! There is a small problem inside the shrine. It will take a moment to deal with it. Please wait outside.
,Don’t enter the shrine!”
The low and majestic voice spread throughout the square in front of the temple.
As his words fell, more than twenty imperial guards immediately blocked the gate of the shrine with swords in hand.
On the steps and in the square in front of the palace, all the elite geniuses were stunned on the spot.
The smiles and joy on everyone's faces froze, and everyone frowned, showing expressions of doubt and dissatisfaction.
Many bolder and higher-status dignitaries later loudly questioned the reason.
"Commander Cheng, what do you mean?"
"Every baptism ceremony in the past has been uneventful. Why did something happen when it was our turn?"
"How long will it take you to solve it? How can we compensate for the delay in our baptism?"
"What went wrong? Commander Cheng, please explain, otherwise we won't believe it!"
Someone took the lead in shouting, and many people followed.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, everyone was excited. Cheng Jue shouted coldly with a majestic look: "This is an order! Do I still need to explain to you what I am doing?"
Anyone who dares to trespass into the shrine will be killed without mercy!"
Cheng Jue was really angry, and his tone contained murderous intent.
Those young elites and geniuses were immediately shocked.
They realized that the matter was serious, and they no longer dared to make any noise or noise, and they all started talking among themselves in whispers.
Cheng Jue ignored them and quickly discussed countermeasures with the high priest.
"High Priest, the matter of the theft of the divine pearl is too important and cannot be solved by you and me.
You immediately send a message to the Lord Commander of the Styx River and report to him exactly what happened.
I will now dispatch all the imperial guards to search for Yuwen Ji in the imperial palace and Youdu!"
The high priest was startled for a moment, his expression was a little hesitant, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Cheng, is it necessary to alert Commander Styx?"
Even now, he is still lucky and hopes that Cheng Jue can lead people to capture Yuwen Ji.
It is best not to alert the Styx Commander, nor the Blood Prison Marshal.
Otherwise, this matter will never go well, and he will definitely be severely punished.
