The Trial

Returning to Riluo City both Wang Ju Long and Deng Wu were instantly placed in handcuffs and moved to a special jail at the City Lord’s mansion. Although the two of them were constantly under surveillance, both of them were treated gently and with great hospitality.

During their imprisonment within the City Lord’s Mansion, both Deng Wu and Wang Ju Long were visited daily by high-ranked officials from the Royal Army. These officials wished to hear what had happened exactly, and whether or not they had planned the killing of Deng Tsang Ying, or if it had been on impulse after seeing that they were losing.

Another subject which the officials often asked about was Hui Yue. Were they aware that he was a Saint ranked cultivator? Was he using some divine techniques to stay young, rather than aging? Was he from around here?
