The Nine Heaven Emperor did not want to say more and waved his hand, motioning for General Grunt to get up on his feet.
Without delay, General Grunt stood up and trembled as he took his seat.
The Nine Heaven Emperor turned to Master Magaera and smiled. "Master Magaera, fortunately, you had sharp eyes. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark."
"Your Majesty, you're too kind. It's my duty," Master Magaera sat down and said.
Then, he turned to General Grunt and said, "General Grunt, don't blame me. I've always been honest and upright. I wasn't finding fault with you."
General Grunt snickered and said humbly, "Your Excellency, you're too kind. I committed a huge crime. How could I blame you?"
Suddenly, a Grand Weapon rushed in and said to the Nine Heaven Emperor, "Your Majesty, Solar… Solar General is crying for justice outside the palace."
As if he was being struck by lightning, General Grunt was dazed and his mind turned blank. 'What? Solar General's still alive? That's impossible. I crushed his fairy soul in front of His Majesty. I even ordered the subordinates to bury him a few meters away on a mountain north of the Imperial Sky Palace.'
At the same time, everyone exclaimed and the officials whispered among themselves.
"Solar General is crying for justice?"
"I was just wondering why didn't I see Solar General…"
"I was wondering too."
As they spoke, the officials were confused. The Nine Heaven Emperor had not announced that General Grunt had killed Solar General in the secret chamber and so they had been kept in the dark.
