Chapter 1617: Without intention, casually planted willows thrive; with determination, the flowers one plants also bloom.

What is Kong Yuhen doing?

Holy Emperor Wangze didn't even spare a glance for that oh-so-soft and squeeze-friendly member of the Four Divine Pillars.

His attention was entirely on Kong Yuhen.

Frozen in place just from being worshipped?

Got knocked out by some invisible cudgel?

Is this the "I will take action if injustice arises" you were talking about?

Standing there...

"Daydreaming?"

...

And wouldn't you know it, Kong Yuhen was indeed stupefied.

The Time Ancestor Shadow Staff couldn't possibly freeze him for that long.

Long before the appearance of the Great Well-behaved Bell, Kong Yuhen had already broken free from Time Freeze.

But when Xu Xiaoshou hit him with his staff, it wasn't just a hit – he also stuffed a jade scroll into his space.

A familiar modus operandi.

Back in Jade Capital City, in his confrontation with the Elemental Divine Envoy Zhong Yuanzi, Xu Xiaoshou employed the same tactic.

Three jade scrolls!
