“Such strong spiritual power. Fortunately, I used the power of the Qiankun Realm. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to escape from her. Who is she anyway? How dare she kill a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint from the Infernal Court in the Divine Domain of Destiny?” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was chased by Bai Qing’er’s spiritual avatar. In the end, he escaped to the city where there were many cultivators. He changed his appearance and was able to escape.
Lady Bai obviously had some misgivings.
She wouldn’t stop until she killed Zhang Ruochen. If it were anywhere else, she would find Zhang Ruochen even if she had to kill all the cultivators in the city.
After returning to Vastsea Manor and opening the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, Zhang Ruochen immediately released Cang Baizi from the Violet Gourd.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Tell me, who is Lady Bai? Why did she kill Xing Qian?”
Cang Baizi had lost a significant portion of his lifespan. His body had decomposed badly. He was weak and sickly as he lay on the ground.
“You don’t want to tell me? Fine. You’re of no value to me. Die now,” said Zhang Ruochen.
A ball of Divine Purification Flame surged out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
Cang Baizi’s expression changed. “Zhang Ruochen, this is the Divine Domain of Destiny. If you dare to kill me, the Adjudication Division will never forgive you. The Hall of Permanence will treat you as their mortal enemy.”
In any force, the Supreme Saints of the Thousand-Koan Realm and Banshi Isshou Realm were all powerhouses.
If it was in Guanghan, with Cang Baizi’s cultivation, he could be ranked among the top ten in the entire Macroworld. If Moon Goddess is ranked first, then he was at least eighth or ninth.
If Cang Baizi was killed, one could imagine how furious the Hall of Permanence would be.
“You dare to kill me?” asked Cang Baizi.
MYB0X N 0 V EL
“Why shouldn’t I dare to kill you?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen flicked his finger, and a wisp of Divine Purification Flame fell on his body. It burned his body and made a sizzling sound.
Zhang Ruochen had never thought of searching for his memories.
This was not the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. His important memories must have been protected by the power of the gods.
Moreover, he was not weak. He was a Supreme Saint at the initial stage of the Banshi Isshou Realm. His spiritual power was also very strong. Although he was very weak now, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to underestimate him.
If he was ambushed while searching for memories, it would not be worth it.
“You want to kill me? Do you think you’re worthy?” asked Cang Baizi.
Cang Baizi’s eyes flashed with rage. He let out a long roar, shaking the sky. Dense precepts poured from his body. They pressed down on Zhang Ruochen, condensing into seven Path palaces.
No matter how powerful a genius was, he couldn’t defeat a Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm with the cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.
Cang Baizi believes he was only captured by Zhang Ruochen because he was ambushed. Even though he was very weak now, he still had the strength to fight in a real fight.
As for the rumors, when Zhang Ruochen fought with Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen exploded with power close to that of a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. In Cang Baizi’s opinion, it was just a rumor and nonsense. It was impossible.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. The Armor of the Fire God appeared naturally. The divine power in his body surged and he kicked it out.
Dense Divine Marks of Flame appeared on his left leg. The power of Yanshen’s leg was completely unleashed.
The Precept Domain of Cang Baizi was shattered. The seven Path palaces were destroyed. His body flew out and slammed into the array wall of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He collapsed once more.
“How… How can you be so strong? Your power…” said Cang Baizi.
Cang Baizi looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was walking toward him step by step. His eyes were filled with shock.
Even in his peak state, it wouldn’t be easy for him to catch the power of that kick.
Zhang Ruochen’s entire body was burning. The temperature in the palace became extremely high, like a copper furnace. He threatens, “I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell or not?”
Cang Baizi knew that in his current state, he could not escape from the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He had to stabilize Zhang Ruochen first. He quickly said, “Alright, I’ll tell you.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that Cang Baizi was not a tough person. He must have been tortured by Lady Bai until his spirit collapsed. Otherwise, how could he look like a slave in the Peacock Palace?
Such a person would never have the chance to become a god in his life.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s best not to talk nonsense. I’m not a patient person.”
“After I tell you, will you let me live?” asked Cang Baizi.
“That depends on how much the things you say are worth,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Cang Baizi lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he raised his head again, “Lady Bai’s identity is not a secret. Many cultivators in the Infernal Court know about it. She is the daughter of Empress Bai, the current ruler of the Enchanteur Chamber. Her name is Bai Qing’er.”
“Her identity is indeed extraordinary. No wonder she acts so recklessly.” Zhang Ruochen snorted.
“There is a rumor that Lady Bai’s father is likely to be Lord Huang Tian,” said Cang Baizi. “Of course, this rumor has never been proven, so the possibility of it being false is higher. Many cultivators think that the Enchanteur Chamber is just using the name of Lord Huang Tian to intimidate everyone.”
The lion-like and dog-like palace guardian lying outside the Sevenstar Imperial Palace suddenly raised its huge head and looked around with its bell-sized eyes, trying to find out who was talking about it?
‘The daughter of Huang Tian?’ the Palace Guardian wondered.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and said with a sharp look, “Why did she kill Xing Qian?”
“Lady Bai’s real target is Seven-Armed Elder. Xing Qian should have been killed in passing,” said Cang Baizi.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why does she want to deal with Seven-Armed Elder?”
The Divine Purification Flame in Zhang Ruochen’s palm burned again.
Cang Baizi shrank his neck, and he said quickly, “I don’t know the specific reason. I think it’s because Seven-Armed Elder won too many Godstones in the casinos under the Enchanteur Chamber. That’s why Lady Bai attacked him.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled coldly, “Do you think I’m that easy to fool? If it was just for the Godstones, why would Lady Bai kill Xing Qian? After I took you away, she came after me. She looked like she wanted to kill me to silence me. This isn’t simple.
“Maybe Xing Qian was killed by her.”
Cang Baizi said tremblingly as he noticed Zhang Ruochen still staring at him with an unfriendly expression, “She came after you because you discovered she had murdered Xing Qian. She wished to silence you.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “But before she came after me, I didn’t know who killed Xing Qian.”
Cang Baizi was almost driven mad by Zhang Ruochen. He gritted his teeth and said, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, I really don’t know what’s going on. If you spare my life, I’ll help you seize the Southern Sword Realm. What do you think?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and fell into deep thought.
‘Bai Qing’er must have a big plan to deal with Seven-Armed Elder.’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
However, Cang Baizi was just a subordinate controlled by Bai Qing’er using the dream realm. It should be impossible for her to have access to the core secrets.
Cang Baizi said again, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, I know that you are a promising figure. You will definitely become a paramount deity in the future. However, it’s not so easy to pass the test of the Southern Sword Realm. You need someone to help you.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at him and said, “It’s too risky to use someone like you.”
Cang Baizi’s heart sank. Realizing that something was wrong, he said anxiously, “Supreme Saint Ruochen…”
Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on Cang Baizi’s head. The Divine Purification Flame surged out of his palm and wrapped around his body. It was like burning a rotten corpse, giving off a foul smell.
Cang Baizi wanted to self-detonate his Sainthood Source and perish together with Zhang Ruochen.
Unfortunately, his spiritual power wasn’t as strong as Zhang Ruochen’s. His mind and consciousness were suppressed.
Not long after, Cang Baizi was burned to ashes. There were only bits of Sainthood Source left on the ground.
“I should quickly absorb and refine the Sainthood Source,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen threw the Sainthood Source to Moyin that was fusing with his body.
The Sainthood Source of a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint could only be found by chance. Moyin happily received it.
Killing Cang Baizi was a warning to the cultivators of the Infernal Court who wanted to deal with Zhang Ruochen. However, they couldn’t leave any traces. At the very least, they couldn’t be caught by the Adjudication Division.
In the Infernal Court, the strong preyed on the weak and killing was rampant.
However, killing cultivators with powerful cultivations and backgrounds should be concealed. They couldn’t be too brazen.
Yao Qing was an Archmarshal of the Adjudication Division. His cultivation base had reached the Banshi Isshou Realm a thousand years ago.
He only obeys one of the Adjudication Division’s ten great judges, the Divine Judge.
The Divine Judge was directly under the orders of the Reverend Adjudicator. The Divine Judge was responsible for managing the order of the entire Divine Domain of Destiny. The Divine Judge could punish the high priests of the twelve divine palaces and kill all cultivators who violated the rules of the Fane of Destiny.
It could be said that the Divine Judge was an existence that all cultivators of various clans were afraid of.
Even the Scions and Scionesses would choose to retreat when they saw him.
Yao Qing’s face was livid. He led a group of enforcers consisting of dozens of people. They were clad in armor and held Saint Swords in their hands as they surrounded the Vastsea Manor.
Two Marshals who had reached the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm, Marshal Qi Xin and Marshal Zhen, stood on the left and right sides behind him respectively.
“What’s going on? There are so many powerful figures in the Adjudication Division, and they are surrounding the Vastsea Manor.”
“Archmarshal Yao Qing has arrived. Something big must have happened.”
“The Marshals can capture Scions and Scionesses, while the Archmarshals can capture the wives and concubines of gods. If they refuse to be captured, they can be executed on the spot.”
“Zhang Ruochen was too arrogant in the Divine Domain of Destiny, and he finally suffered the consequences.”
Except for a few cultivators who stayed to watch, more cultivators retreated far away. The murderous aura from the cultivators of the Adjudication Division made them feel uncomfortable.
Gaunt opened the door and walked out of the Vastsea Manor.
He looked carefully and was shocked by the Path aura from the enforcers outside.
However, when Gaunt thought of Zhang Ruochen’s noble status in the Infernal Court, the fear in his heart lessened.
He said, “Why are you surrounding the Vastsea Manor?”
Marshal Qi Xin shouted coldly, “Lower the array. We are here to arrest Zhang Ruochen under the order of our Lord Judge.”
Gaunt was shocked. As the grandson of the Wargod Bloodximius and a proud son of heaven with marriage bestowed by the Reverend himself, the Adjudication Division actually said that they would arrest him.
Yao Qing gave an impatient look and pushed out his palm during Gaunt’s hesitation. The array of inscriptions in front of him shattered with a thud. The ground beneath Vastsea Manor shook nonstop.
The array set up by the High-Saint Array Master was broken in an instant.
As a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, Yao Qing was more than ten times stronger than Cang Baizi.
Yao Qing approached the door of Vastsea Manor with his hands behind his back and said, “You did not kneel as a servant of a Celestial Court Supreme Saint when the three Judges arrived. Death is your penalty!”
Gaunt looked terrified and was dragged away by the two Supreme Saint enforcers.
His head was cut off by Saint Sword.
The Sword of Judgment could destroy all life. Even if you were a Supreme Saint, you could still be killed with one sword strike.
Gaunt, a former Heavenly Realm sect’s first-class genius, was now a headless corpse. He collapsed on the crimson steps, and Saint Blood erupted like a pillar.
The cultivators around Gaunt were in an uproar and retreated again.
The blood of a Supreme Saint finally woke them up. It made them realize that the Adjudication Division was serious this time. They would not be afraid of Zhang Ruochen because of his special status.
Zhou Zhen, Shentu Yunkong, and Lian Xi were alarmed. They rushed out of the manor and saw the scene of Gaunt being killed.
Their hearts were like hit by a heavy hammer, and they quickly knelt on one knee on both sides of the gate.
It was not until this moment that they realized how fragile their lives were in the Infernal Court. A Marshal of Adjudication could decide their life and death with a single word.
Yao Qing’s figure was as straight as a spear. He walked into the Vastsea Manor and arrived below the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Zhang Ruochen was already standing in front of the palace gate, staring down at him from above.
Yao Qing said expressionlessly, “Zhang Ruochen if you are smart, don’t resist. Follow me to the Adjudication Division.”
Zhang Ruochen opened his palm and revealed the Destiny Token. “With my status, even if the Adjudication Division wants to arrest me, they must give me a reason, right?”
Yao Qing and all the enforcers bowed to Zhang Ruochen in unison.
They weren’t bowing to Zhang Ruochen, but to the Destiny Token.
After bowing, Yao Qing stood up straight again. “The Adjudication Division received news that you killed Xing Qian of the Fane of Asura and captured Cang Baizi of the Hall of Permanence. Do you acknowledge these two crimes?”
Zhang Ruochen only knew that the House of Enchanteurs and the Death Palace’s High Priest were very close, but he didn’t expect that they could even mobilize the power of the Adjudication Division.
Of course, it was impossible to agree with them.
Zhang Ruochen said, “These two offenses are false. Someone is attempting to frame me. I have no animosity toward Xing Qian. Why would I kill him? Isn’t Cang Baizi of the Hall of Permanence in the House of Enchanteurs? I didn’t capture him.”
Yao Qing said, “Since you didn’t do it, then follow me to the Adjudication Division. When the matter is clear, you will be a free man once more.”
Marshal Qi Xin and Marshal Zhen held the divine chains and stepped onto the steps of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. They walked toward Zhang Ruochen.
A powerful white light exploded from the steps. The two Marshals were sent flying. When they landed, they hurriedly retreated. They were in a sorry state.
The Sevenstar Imperial Palace was once the palace of Wargod Bloodximius. With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation and the joint operation of the Palace Guardian, Huang Tian, the defensive power was strong enough to stop a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.
How could the two Marshals break in?
Zhang Ruochen smiled, he said, “Please forgive me, Marshals. It’s not that I don’t want to go to the Adjudication Division. However, if any cultivator gets into trouble, the Adjudication Division will arrest me and interrogate me. Wouldn’t I have to stay in the prison of the Adjudication Division for the rest of my life? Therefore, I suggest that you find enough evidence before you arrest me.”
Zhang Ruochen had just returned to the Vastsea Manor when the enforcers of the Adjudication Division arrived. Wasn’t it too fast?
It was certain that Bai Qing’er had deliberately used the Adjudication Division to deal with him.
Zhang Ruochen had heard that after successfully fusing the sixth type of Saintwill, there was a strange phenomenon in which Destiny’s Creek flowed backward, flooding the fane. Despite the fact that Wargod Bloodximius had forcibly explained it in the name of Great Emperor Fengdu.
However, the Adjudication Division would rather capture Zhang Ruochen than let go of this opportunity to get rid of him.
Killing Zhang Ruochen was to protect the Fane of Destiny.
Bai Qing’er and the Adjudication Division had the same interests and goals in this matter.
If Zhang Ruochen surrendered, he would probably be executed before he reached the Adjudication Division. By then, even if Wargod Bloodximius and his mother wanted to save him, it would be too late!
The only thing they could do now was to defend the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. They could delay as long as they could.
Yao Qing’s face was extremely dark. In the Divine Domain of Destiny, no cultivator had ever dared to speak to the Marshals of the Adjudication Division in such a tone. Did he not take the Adjudication Division seriously at all?
“Zhang Ruochen resisted arrest and shall be executed without mercy,” said Yao Qing.
Yao Qing’s voice seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth.
The enforcers of the Adjudication Division attacked the Sevenstar Imperial Palace at the same time.
Of course, Yao Qing knew about the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He knew that it would be difficult for them to break in.
The reason why he still attacked was to force Zhang Ruochen to resist.
Once Zhang Ruochen resisted, the Adjudication Division could kill him, whether he was guilty or not.
“Zhang Ruochen refuses to be arrested. Please come in person, Lord Judge.” Yao Qing carved a Communication light talisman and sent it out.
Lord Judge had to break the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and kill Zhang Ruochen himself.
After the five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin were stolen, the cultivators gathered in the House of Enchanteurs immediately rushed to the Vastsea Manor. However, the Vastsea Manor was surrounded and sealed by the Adjudication Division. No cultivator could get close.
Bai Qing’er stood on a pavilion and said to herself, “I’m still a step late.”
She could ask the Death Palace’s High Priest and the Adjudication Division to help because they both had the same goal. They both wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen.
However, she couldn’t stop the Adjudication Division from capturing Zhang Ruochen.
Seeing the Gaunt’s corpse on the stairs, Xue Tu felt his scalp go numb and his legs go weak. He said, “The Adjudication Division… came too fast…”
“It was indeed a little too fast,” said Guye Jing.
Guye Jing’s eyes were deep as she looked at Vastsea Manor which was constantly roaring with fighting sounds. No one knew what she was thinking.
Xue Tu said, “My Senior Brother must have been framed.”
“Since you know, why don’t you hurry and report to Blood Empress? Do you think you can save him?” Guye Jing said.
Xue Tu hesitated for a moment, then left quickly.
As the disciple of Blood Empress, he naturally had a way to contact her quickly.
Xue Tu chose to save Zhang Ruochen because Zhang Ruochen had saved him from Guye Jing in the House of Enchanteurs, despite the fact that Zhang Ruochen was aware Xue Tu had leaked the information.
It was indeed Xue Tu’s fault for deceiving the Supreme Artifact.
Xue Tu had realized that his Senior Brother was a sentimental person. He was not as cold as he appeared to be. Perhaps he was only being strict with him to temper his temperament.
Moreover, with a Yuanhui-level genius Senior Brother around, Xue Tu would definitely rise in the future.
Luo Shengtian walked to Guye Jing’s side with a solemn expression, he said, “It’s useless. Gods can’t interfere with the secular world. It’s useless to look for Blood Empress. Back then, Qi Longfei, the firstborn son of the Qitian Clan’s chief, fought with a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint in the Divine Domain of Destiny. This resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of cultivators in a city.
“After the Adjudication Division took Qi Longfei away, the Qitian Clan’s chief immediately went to plead for mercy. After all, she only has one son. She probably won’t have another one in the future. He had always been pampered.
“But the Qitian Clan’s chief was stopped by Reverend Adjudicator. Back then, Reverend Adjudicator had said that if there were no rules, how could the world be ruled? If the gods could ask for mercy, why would they need the Adjudication Division? Then, Reverend Adjudicator killed Qi Longfei with his own hands.”
Guye Jing said, “Zhang Ruochen is smart. As long as he hasn’t entered the Adjudication Division, there’s still room for redemption. Would the Adjudication Division dare to attack the Xue Jue Family if Blood Empress could arrive in time and return him to them?”
Luo Shengtian said, “If that’s the case, Zhang Ruochen will have to hide in the Xue Jue family for the rest of his life. He won’t be able to go out again.”
“Don’t Devala want to help?” Guye Jing asked.
Luo Shengtian said, “I’ve sent all the cultivators out to look for Cang Baizi and Xing Qian. As for the incident in the House of Enchanteurs, we all know that Zhang Ruochen isn’t that powerful. He stole the superior-grade divine crystals without anyone noticing and killed Tan Fei through 17 layers of seals. He must be a terrifying figure who can summon wind and rain below divinity.”
“What if Zhang Ruochen really killed Xing Qian and captured Cang Baizi?” Said Guye Jing.
Luo Shengtian was silent for a long time, he said, “The Adjudication Division has long wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen. After all, in the Divine Domain of Destiny, the Fane of Destiny still has the final say. We can’t help much. It’s a pity that Wargod Bloodximius is not in the Divine Domain of Destiny. Otherwise, with his strong character, the Adjudication Division would be more or less afraid.”
Xue Tu knelt on one knee in the Divine Plane of Blood Empress and quickly told the whole story.
“Master, you have to save Senior Brother. Once he is brought into the Adjudication Division, I’m afraid… The consequences will be unimaginable…”
The Divine Shadow of Blood Empress was tens of thousands of feet tall and stood in front of Xue Tu like a mountain, she said, “Gods can not interfere in worldly affairs. Moreover, the Adjudication Division has always been impartial and will not accuse your Senior Brother. So, you don’t have to worry.”
“I heard that the Adjudication Division has long wanted to kill Senior Brother,” Xue Tu hurriedly said.
Blood Empress said, “Even if they want to kill Chen’er, the Adjudication Division has to produce evidence. I believe in Chen’er’s ability. Even if he really killed someone, he must have erased all traces. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I still have to continue cultivating.”
Xue Tu did not expect his master to have such an attitude.
Xue Tu wondered, ‘She actually believed in the Adjudication Division at the critical moment of Senior Brother’s life and death? She actually still had the mood to cultivate?
‘Was this still the master who didn’t hesitate to fight with Asurendra Samay to save Senior Brother’s daughter?
‘Could it be that the master was afraid of the Adjudication Division?
‘That’s strange, really strange!
‘What on earth was going on?’

“Such strong spiritual power. Fortunately, I used the power of the Qiankun Realm. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to escape from her. Who is she anyway? How dare she kill a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint from the Infernal Court in the Divine Domain of Destiny?” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was chased by Bai Qing’er’s spiritual avatar. In the end, he escaped to the city where there were many cultivators. He changed his appearance and was able to escape.

A ball of Divine Purification Flame surged out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
Cang Baizi’s expression changed. “Zhang Ruochen, this is the Divine Domain of Destiny. If you dare to kill me, the Adjudication Division will never forgive you. The Hall of Permanence will treat you as their mortal enemy.”

If it was in Guanghan, with Cang Baizi’s cultivation, he could be ranked among the top ten in the entire Macroworld. If Moon Goddess is ranked first, then he was at least eighth or ninth.
If Cang Baizi was killed, one could imagine how furious the Hall of Permanence would be.
“You dare to kill me?” asked Cang Baizi.

Cang Baizi looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was walking toward him step by step. His eyes were filled with shock.
Even in his peak state, it wouldn’t be easy for him to catch the power of that kick.
Zhang Ruochen’s entire body was burning. The temperature in the palace became extremely high, like a copper furnace. He threatens, “I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell or not?”

Cang Baizi lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he raised his head again, “Lady Bai’s identity is not a secret. Many cultivators in the Infernal Court know about it. She is the daughter of Empress Bai, the current ruler of the Enchanteur Chamber. Her name is Bai Qing’er.”
“Her identity is indeed extraordinary. No wonder she acts so recklessly.” Zhang Ruochen snorted.
“There is a rumor that Lady Bai’s father is likely to be Lord Huang Tian,” said Cang Baizi. “Of course, this rumor has never been proven, so the possibility of it being false is higher. Many cultivators think that the Enchanteur Chamber is just using the name of Lord Huang Tian to intimidate everyone.”
The lion-like and dog-like palace guardian lying outside the Sevenstar Imperial Palace suddenly raised its huge head and looked around with its bell-sized eyes, trying to find out who was talking about it?
‘The daughter of Huang Tian?’ the Palace Guardian wondered.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and said with a sharp look, “Why did she kill Xing Qian?”
“Lady Bai’s real target is Seven-Armed Elder. Xing Qian should have been killed in passing,” said Cang Baizi.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why does she want to deal with Seven-Armed Elder?”
The Divine Purification Flame in Zhang Ruochen’s palm burned again.
Cang Baizi shrank his neck, and he said quickly, “I don’t know the specific reason. I think it’s because Seven-Armed Elder won too many Godstones in the casinos under the Enchanteur Chamber. That’s why Lady Bai attacked him.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled coldly, “Do you think I’m that easy to fool? If it was just for the Godstones, why would Lady Bai kill Xing Qian? After I took you away, she came after me. She looked like she wanted to kill me to silence me. This isn’t simple.

Cang Baizi was almost driven mad by Zhang Ruochen. He gritted his teeth and said, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, I really don’t know what’s going on. If you spare my life, I’ll help you seize the Southern Sword Realm. What do you think?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and fell into deep thought.
‘Bai Qing’er must have a big plan to deal with Seven-Armed Elder.’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
However, Cang Baizi was just a subordinate controlled by Bai Qing’er using the dream realm. It should be impossible for her to have access to the core secrets.
Cang Baizi said again, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, I know that you are a promising figure. You will definitely become a paramount deity in the future. However, it’s not so easy to pass the test of the Southern Sword Realm. You need someone to help you.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at him and said, “It’s too risky to use someone like you.”
Cang Baizi’s heart sank. Realizing that something was wrong, he said anxiously, “Supreme Saint Ruochen…”
Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on Cang Baizi’s head. The Divine Purification Flame surged out of his palm and wrapped around his body. It was like burning a rotten corpse, giving off a foul smell.

The Sainthood Source of a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint could only be found by chance. Moyin happily received it.
Killing Cang Baizi was a warning to the cultivators of the Infernal Court who wanted to deal with Zhang Ruochen. However, they couldn’t leave any traces. At the very least, they couldn’t be caught by the Adjudication Division.
In the Infernal Court, the strong preyed on the weak and killing was rampant.
However, killing cultivators with powerful cultivations and backgrounds should be concealed. They couldn’t be too brazen.
Yao Qing was an Archmarshal of the Adjudication Division. His cultivation base had reached the Banshi Isshou Realm a thousand years ago.
He only obeys one of the Adjudication Division’s ten great judges, the Divine Judge.
The Divine Judge was directly under the orders of the Reverend Adjudicator. The Divine Judge was responsible for managing the order of the entire Divine Domain of Destiny. The Divine Judge could punish the high priests of the twelve divine palaces and kill all cultivators who violated the rules of the Fane of Destiny.
It could be said that the Divine Judge was an existence that all cultivators of various clans were afraid of.
Even the Scions and Scionesses would choose to retreat when they saw him.
Yao Qing’s face was livid. He led a group of enforcers consisting of dozens of people. They were clad in armor and held Saint Swords in their hands as they surrounded the Vastsea Manor.
Two Marshals who had reached the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm, Marshal Qi Xin and Marshal Zhen, stood on the left and right sides behind him respectively.
“What’s going on? There are so many powerful figures in the Adjudication Division, and they are surrounding the Vastsea Manor.”
“Archmarshal Yao Qing has arrived. Something big must have happened.”
“The Marshals can capture Scions and Scionesses, while the Archmarshals can capture the wives and concubines of gods. If they refuse to be captured, they can be executed on the spot.”
“Zhang Ruochen was too arrogant in the Divine Domain of Destiny, and he finally suffered the consequences.”
Except for a few cultivators who stayed to watch, more cultivators retreated far away. The murderous aura from the cultivators of the Adjudication Division made them feel uncomfortable.
Gaunt opened the door and walked out of the Vastsea Manor.
He looked carefully and was shocked by the Path aura from the enforcers outside.
However, when Gaunt thought of Zhang Ruochen’s noble status in the Infernal Court, the fear in his heart lessened.
He said, “Why are you surrounding the Vastsea Manor?”
Marshal Qi Xin shouted coldly, “Lower the array. We are here to arrest Zhang Ruochen under the order of our Lord Judge.”
Gaunt was shocked. As the grandson of the Wargod Bloodximius and a proud son of heaven with marriage bestowed by the Reverend himself, the Adjudication Division actually said that they would arrest him.
Yao Qing gave an impatient look and pushed out his palm during Gaunt’s hesitation. The array of inscriptions in front of him shattered with a thud. The ground beneath Vastsea Manor shook nonstop.
The array set up by the High-Saint Array Master was broken in an instant.
As a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, Yao Qing was more than ten times stronger than Cang Baizi.
Yao Qing approached the door of Vastsea Manor with his hands behind his back and said, “You did not kneel as a servant of a Celestial Court Supreme Saint when the three Judges arrived. Death is your penalty!”
Gaunt looked terrified and was dragged away by the two Supreme Saint enforcers.
His head was cut off by Saint Sword.
The Sword of Judgment could destroy all life. Even if you were a Supreme Saint, you could still be killed with one sword strike.
Gaunt, a former Heavenly Realm sect’s first-class genius, was now a headless corpse. He collapsed on the crimson steps, and Saint Blood erupted like a pillar.
The cultivators around Gaunt were in an uproar and retreated again.
The blood of a Supreme Saint finally woke them up. It made them realize that the Adjudication Division was serious this time. They would not be afraid of Zhang Ruochen because of his special status.
Zhou Zhen, Shentu Yunkong, and Lian Xi were alarmed. They rushed out of the manor and saw the scene of Gaunt being killed.
Their hearts were like hit by a heavy hammer, and they quickly knelt on one knee on both sides of the gate.
It was not until this moment that they realized how fragile their lives were in the Infernal Court. A Marshal of Adjudication could decide their life and death with a single word.
Yao Qing’s figure was as straight as a spear. He walked into the Vastsea Manor and arrived below the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Zhang Ruochen was already standing in front of the palace gate, staring down at him from above.
Yao Qing said expressionlessly, “Zhang Ruochen if you are smart, don’t resist. Follow me to the Adjudication Division.”
Zhang Ruochen opened his palm and revealed the Destiny Token. “With my status, even if the Adjudication Division wants to arrest me, they must give me a reason, right?”
Yao Qing and all the enforcers bowed to Zhang Ruochen in unison.
They weren’t bowing to Zhang Ruochen, but to the Destiny Token.
After bowing, Yao Qing stood up straight again. “The Adjudication Division received news that you killed Xing Qian of the Fane of Asura and captured Cang Baizi of the Hall of Permanence. Do you acknowledge these two crimes?”
Zhang Ruochen only knew that the House of Enchanteurs and the Death Palace’s High Priest were very close, but he didn’t expect that they could even mobilize the power of the Adjudication Division.
Of course, it was impossible to agree with them.
Zhang Ruochen said, “These two offenses are false. Someone is attempting to frame me. I have no animosity toward Xing Qian. Why would I kill him? Isn’t Cang Baizi of the Hall of Permanence in the House of Enchanteurs? I didn’t capture him.”
Yao Qing said, “Since you didn’t do it, then follow me to the Adjudication Division. When the matter is clear, you will be a free man once more.”
Marshal Qi Xin and Marshal Zhen held the divine chains and stepped onto the steps of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. They walked toward Zhang Ruochen.
A powerful white light exploded from the steps. The two Marshals were sent flying. When they landed, they hurriedly retreated. They were in a sorry state.
The Sevenstar Imperial Palace was once the palace of Wargod Bloodximius. With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation and the joint operation of the Palace Guardian, Huang Tian, the defensive power was strong enough to stop a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.
How could the two Marshals break in?
Zhang Ruochen smiled, he said, “Please forgive me, Marshals. It’s not that I don’t want to go to the Adjudication Division. However, if any cultivator gets into trouble, the Adjudication Division will arrest me and interrogate me. Wouldn’t I have to stay in the prison of the Adjudication Division for the rest of my life? Therefore, I suggest that you find enough evidence before you arrest me.”
Zhang Ruochen had just returned to the Vastsea Manor when the enforcers of the Adjudication Division arrived. Wasn’t it too fast?
It was certain that Bai Qing’er had deliberately used the Adjudication Division to deal with him.
Zhang Ruochen had heard that after successfully fusing the sixth type of Saintwill, there was a strange phenomenon in which Destiny’s Creek flowed backward, flooding the fane. Despite the fact that Wargod Bloodximius had forcibly explained it in the name of Great Emperor Fengdu.
However, the Adjudication Division would rather capture Zhang Ruochen than let go of this opportunity to get rid of him.
Killing Zhang Ruochen was to protect the Fane of Destiny.
Bai Qing’er and the Adjudication Division had the same interests and goals in this matter.
If Zhang Ruochen surrendered, he would probably be executed before he reached the Adjudication Division. By then, even if Wargod Bloodximius and his mother wanted to save him, it would be too late!
The only thing they could do now was to defend the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. They could delay as long as they could.
Yao Qing’s face was extremely dark. In the Divine Domain of Destiny, no cultivator had ever dared to speak to the Marshals of the Adjudication Division in such a tone. Did he not take the Adjudication Division seriously at all?
“Zhang Ruochen resisted arrest and shall be executed without mercy,” said Yao Qing.
Yao Qing’s voice seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth.
The enforcers of the Adjudication Division attacked the Sevenstar Imperial Palace at the same time.
Of course, Yao Qing knew about the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He knew that it would be difficult for them to break in.
The reason why he still attacked was to force Zhang Ruochen to resist.
Once Zhang Ruochen resisted, the Adjudication Division could kill him, whether he was guilty or not.
“Zhang Ruochen refuses to be arrested. Please come in person, Lord Judge.” Yao Qing carved a Communication light talisman and sent it out.
Lord Judge had to break the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and kill Zhang Ruochen himself.
After the five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin were stolen, the cultivators gathered in the House of Enchanteurs immediately rushed to the Vastsea Manor. However, the Vastsea Manor was surrounded and sealed by the Adjudication Division. No cultivator could get close.
Bai Qing’er stood on a pavilion and said to herself, “I’m still a step late.”
She could ask the Death Palace’s High Priest and the Adjudication Division to help because they both had the same goal. They both wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen.
However, she couldn’t stop the Adjudication Division from capturing Zhang Ruochen.
Seeing the Gaunt’s corpse on the stairs, Xue Tu felt his scalp go numb and his legs go weak. He said, “The Adjudication Division… came too fast…”
“It was indeed a little too fast,” said Guye Jing.
Guye Jing’s eyes were deep as she looked at Vastsea Manor which was constantly roaring with fighting sounds. No one knew what she was thinking.
Xue Tu said, “My Senior Brother must have been framed.”
“Since you know, why don’t you hurry and report to Blood Empress? Do you think you can save him?” Guye Jing said.
Xue Tu hesitated for a moment, then left quickly.
As the disciple of Blood Empress, he naturally had a way to contact her quickly.
Xue Tu chose to save Zhang Ruochen because Zhang Ruochen had saved him from Guye Jing in the House of Enchanteurs, despite the fact that Zhang Ruochen was aware Xue Tu had leaked the information.
It was indeed Xue Tu’s fault for deceiving the Supreme Artifact.
Xue Tu had realized that his Senior Brother was a sentimental person. He was not as cold as he appeared to be. Perhaps he was only being strict with him to temper his temperament.
Moreover, with a Yuanhui-level genius Senior Brother around, Xue Tu would definitely rise in the future.
Luo Shengtian walked to Guye Jing’s side with a solemn expression, he said, “It’s useless. Gods can’t interfere with the secular world. It’s useless to look for Blood Empress. Back then, Qi Longfei, the firstborn son of the Qitian Clan’s chief, fought with a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint in the Divine Domain of Destiny. This resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of cultivators in a city.
“After the Adjudication Division took Qi Longfei away, the Qitian Clan’s chief immediately went to plead for mercy. After all, she only has one son. She probably won’t have another one in the future. He had always been pampered.
“But the Qitian Clan’s chief was stopped by Reverend Adjudicator. Back then, Reverend Adjudicator had said that if there were no rules, how could the world be ruled? If the gods could ask for mercy, why would they need the Adjudication Division? Then, Reverend Adjudicator killed Qi Longfei with his own hands.”
Guye Jing said, “Zhang Ruochen is smart. As long as he hasn’t entered the Adjudication Division, there’s still room for redemption. Would the Adjudication Division dare to attack the Xue Jue Family if Blood Empress could arrive in time and return him to them?”
Luo Shengtian said, “If that’s the case, Zhang Ruochen will have to hide in the Xue Jue family for the rest of his life. He won’t be able to go out again.”
“Don’t Devala want to help?” Guye Jing asked.
Luo Shengtian said, “I’ve sent all the cultivators out to look for Cang Baizi and Xing Qian. As for the incident in the House of Enchanteurs, we all know that Zhang Ruochen isn’t that powerful. He stole the superior-grade divine crystals without anyone noticing and killed Tan Fei through 17 layers of seals. He must be a terrifying figure who can summon wind and rain below divinity.”
“What if Zhang Ruochen really killed Xing Qian and captured Cang Baizi?” Said Guye Jing.
Luo Shengtian was silent for a long time, he said, “The Adjudication Division has long wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen. After all, in the Divine Domain of Destiny, the Fane of Destiny still has the final say. We can’t help much. It’s a pity that Wargod Bloodximius is not in the Divine Domain of Destiny. Otherwise, with his strong character, the Adjudication Division would be more or less afraid.”
Xue Tu knelt on one knee in the Divine Plane of Blood Empress and quickly told the whole story.
“Master, you have to save Senior Brother. Once he is brought into the Adjudication Division, I’m afraid… The consequences will be unimaginable…”
The Divine Shadow of Blood Empress was tens of thousands of feet tall and stood in front of Xue Tu like a mountain, she said, “Gods can not interfere in worldly affairs. Moreover, the Adjudication Division has always been impartial and will not accuse your Senior Brother. So, you don’t have to worry.”
“I heard that the Adjudication Division has long wanted to kill Senior Brother,” Xue Tu hurriedly said.
Blood Empress said, “Even if they want to kill Chen’er, the Adjudication Division has to produce evidence. I believe in Chen’er’s ability. Even if he really killed someone, he must have erased all traces. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I still have to continue cultivating.”
Xue Tu did not expect his master to have such an attitude.
Xue Tu wondered, ‘She actually believed in the Adjudication Division at the critical moment of Senior Brother’s life and death? She actually still had the mood to cultivate?
‘Was this still the master who didn’t hesitate to fight with Asurendra Samay to save Senior Brother’s daughter?
‘Could it be that the master was afraid of the Adjudication Division?
‘That’s strange, really strange!
‘What on earth was going on?’
