Chapter 2908: The Divine Lord Was Killed (2)
The regent had plotted against Gu Xijiu for a long time now. He ordered his son to kidnap her when she was alone, then accused her of killing the Devil King.
At that time, Di Fuyi did not say anything else, which made it seem that he also agreed to his statement. Nevertheless, he said that he would find Gu Xijiu first. As long as it could be proven that Gu Xijiu murdered the Devil King, he would not be selfish about the matter and would settle her personally.
Because of Di Fuyi’s objective approach to the situation, the regent was relieved. He even pretended to accompany Di Fuyi to look for Gu Xijiu.
Since Di Fuyi was a very capable man, in two days, his investigations led him to the Soulless River, and he concluded that Gu Xijiu was in the depths of the river. Although Soulless River was a raging river, it was also a sacred river in the eyes of the devils. Therefore, no one was allowed to approach this place.
There were only two kinds of people who could go close. One was the warriors of the devils. To prove one’s heroism, he needed to wash his hands by the river. If he were not pulled in by the evil spirit inside, he was declared to be a true hero recognized by the Devil God and would be respected by the people. Otherwise, he would die a quick death without a bone left of him. The second was when they needed to sacrifice the living. It was a sacrifice to the devil spirits. Other than that, no one was allowed to enter the river. Doing so would be disrespectful to the entire devil world, and the people involved would be captured.
Because of the need to search the place, Di Fuyi naturally caused dissatisfaction among the majority of the devils, and everyone flocked to stop him. The two sides were arguing. Although Di Fuyi was in a hurry, he also understood that he could not fight too hard, or he would offend the whole devil world, and he might not be able to go down the river with peace of mind.
