Chapter 952: Who Dares!
Chapter 952: Who Dares!
"It's over!"
Jing An’s face turned pale upon hearing Yi Nian’s words. Yi Nian's words would surely enrage the experts up above.
Sure enough, the experts of the Tianxing Civilization were infuriated, raining down a hail of curses upon Yi Nian.
Cui Yin laughed triumphantly. This was exactly what he wanted to achieve.
At this point, even High Goddess Tianyun could no longer sacrifice that young man to protect Yi Nian. The reason he had asked Yi Nian that question earlier was to completely cut off any retreat for Yi Nian and High Goddess Tianyun.
"Well said!" A voice reverberated from up above.
Everyone looked up and saw a spacetime ripple.
A woman in a white silk dress walked out of the spacetime rift.
The woman was breathtaking with an otherworldly aura. Of course, she was none other than High Goddess Tianyun.
Cui Yin’s long brows trembled upon seeing her, and his eyes glimmered with a hint of fear. The experts of the Tianxing Civilization also showed a hint of concern at the sight.High Goddess Tianyun was within the top five in terms of strength in the Tianxing Civilization.
Ignoring everyone else, she looked down at Yi Nian and smiled. She gave her a thumbs up, and her eyes were full of admiration as she said, "Well said! The women of our Tianxing Civilization should dare to love and dare to hate!"
"High Goddess Tianyun!" Cui Yin stepped forward and said deeply, "Are you suggesting that the women of our Tianxing Civilization should—"
High Goddess Tianyun turned sharply and glared at Cui Yin. "Kneel!"
Boom!
A terrifying aura descended from the heavens, and before Cui Yin could react, he was forced to his knees.
Everyone was shocked.
High Goddess Tianyun looked coldly at the kneeling Cui Yin. "Who do you think you are to question me?"
Cui Yin looked as if he had swallowed something vile. The extreme humiliation of being forced to kneel infuriated him.
Just then, the old man who had spoken against Yi Nian earlier stepped forward and bowed slightly. "High Goddess, Yi Nian has violated the divine laws. The evidence is clear. You—"
"Kneel," said High Goddess Tianyun, waving her hand.
Boom!
The old man dropped to his knees, and he had no idea what to say. Aren't you supposed to be a scholar? Why are you so unreasonable?
Everyone was speechless.
High Goddess Tianyun swept a cold gaze across the experts of the Tianxing Civilization. "If anyone is dissatisfied, step forward and challenge me!"
Their expressions turned ugly upon hearing that.
Challenge her? High Goddess Tianyun was a supreme powerhouse. Who could defeat her?
Just then, a middle-aged man stepped forward, staring at High Goddess Tianyun with anger and grief. "High Goddess, I once respected you, but I never thought you're—"
High Goddess Tianyun waved her sleeve, and the man was blasted into the distant horizon, becoming a tiny black dot.
Everyone froze.
High Goddess Tianyun turned to Yi Nian and Jing An. "If someone attempts to blackmail you morally, you ought to kill them without any hesitation, do you understand?"
Yi Nian and Jing An nodded fervently, and their eyes were filled with admiration.
The experts of the Tianxing Civilization dared not to speak any further. They could bully Yi Nian, but they'd never dare to confront High Goddess Tianyun.
A deafening silence descended.
High Goddess Tianyun didn't make any moves and simply turned to Yi Nian and Jing An.
"Let’s go."
The two women nodded.
Just then, a voice came from the distant sky. "High Goddess, you've gone too far."
A spacetime rift manifested in the distance, and a middle-aged man walked out of it. Dressed in simple coarse robes with a black belt tied around his waist, the middle-aged man resembled a barbarian.
An old man and an old woman dressed in adjudicator robes were standing behind him.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the enforcers nearby immediately saluted him.
"Greetings to the Hall Master!" they exclaimed.
The middle-aged man was none other than Wuzhou, the Hall Master of the Hall of Justice.
High Goddess Tianyun frowned slightly upon seeing him, while Cui Yin was ecstatic.
Wuzhou looked at High Goddess Tianyun with an indifferent gaze. "High Goddess, Yi Nian has fallen in love with an outsider and has eloped with him. That is a clear violation of our laws.
"The Hall of Justice has the right to apprehend and execute violators of the law."
Wuzhou waved his hand. "Arrest them."
Two experts stepped forward to act, but High Goddess Tianyun coldly said, "Try it."
The two experts hesitated.
Wuzhou stared at High Goddess Tianyun without a word.
High Goddess Tianyun turned to Wuzhou and said, "Wuzhou, as the Hall Master, you surely know that the Evil Dao Alliance is behind this. They're provoking us into killing that young man. If we kill him, we’ll be entangled in an unknown karma."
Wuzhou shook his head. "I’m not interested in your theories. All I know is that both Yi Nian and that young man have violated our divine laws, and it is the duty of the Hall of Justice to punish them.
"If you won't let us take them, then let's settle this with a fight."
With that, he opened his palm, and a black seal appeared in the sky—the Justice Imprint, the most powerful artifact of the Hall of Justice.
High Goddess Tianyun realized just then that a battle was inevitable. She turned, attempting to send Yi Nian away, but the Justice Imprint's black light enveloped her, pulling both her and Wuzhou into the Justice Enforcement World.
High Goddess Tianyun's expression became sinister, and she knew that there was nothing she could say to convince them. All that was left was to fight.
Soon, explosions echoed from the Justice Enforcement World, and the Justice Imprint trembled violently.
The moment High Goddess Tianyun was dragged into the Justice Enforcement World, Cui Yin stood up and glared furiously at Yi Nian.
How dare High Goddess Tianyun humiliate me by making me, a Justice Officer, kneel before everyone! Humiliating! What an absolute humiliation!
Facing High Goddess Tianyun, he dared not show his anger, but High Goddess Tianyun was busy. Cui Yin could no longer hold back his rage and pointed at Yi Nian. "Kill her!"
An adjudicator charged at Yi Nian, but with a wave of her hand, the adjudicator was sent flying. Yi Nian didn’t kill him, but her strength was clearly overwhelming.
Yi Nian was strong enough to kill anyone below Level Seven. However, Yi Nian didn't continue attacking. Instead, Yi Nian gave the tiny pagoda to Jing An and said urgently, "Take him away."
Jing An looked at Yi Nian and solemnly said, "Call for Aunt!"
Yi Nian shook her head slightly, "Aunt hasn’t acknowledged me yet, so only my husband can call her. Besides, these people will definitely anger her, and no one can calm her down aside from my husband. By then, the Tianxing Civilization will be in danger."
Jing An trembled and asked, "What should we do?"
"Take him away. Teacher is right; the Evil Dao Alliance is stirring up trouble, trying to get our Tianxing Civilization to target my husband. We can't let them succeed. You must take him out of the Tianxing Civilization."
Jing An shook her head firmly and was about to say something, but Yi Nian beat her to the chase, saying, "Don’t worry. I'm part of the Tianxing Civilization. I’ve made mistakes, but they won’t kill me."
Jing An remained silent.
Yi Nian became a bit anxious. "Go!"
Jing An turned around and left quietly. She knew Yi Nian was right. Yi Nian had broken the laws, but she was still the disciple of the High Goddess Tianyun. The Hall of Justice would not dare to kill her.
Cui Yin furrowed his brows. He was planning to capture Jing An as well, but on second thought, Jing An hadn’t broken any laws. If he were to seize her without reason, the High Goddess Tianyun could rightfully retaliate against him!
With that in mind, he focused on Yi Nian.
Just then, a voice echoed in his mind. "The pagoda that Yi Nian gave her is a divine treasure. Ye Guan is hiding inside that pagoda. If Ye Guan escapes, Yi Nian can easily claim that she has no connection with him. What will you do then?"
Cui Yin’s expression immediately changed. He pointed at the fleeing Jing An in the distance and exclaimed, "Stop Jing An! That insect from a low-tier civilization is hiding in that pagoda in her hands. If he resists, kill him on the spot!"
The adjudicators charged at Jing An.
Yi Nian was furious. Her eyebrows shot up, and her figure trembled as she transformed into a streak of spacetime, making a beeline for the adjudicators.
Boom!
The adjudicators were blasted thousands of meters away, and they coughed mouthfuls of blood upon impact.
Yi Nian glared at Cui Yin and the others. A fierce killing intent surged from her, sweeping across everyone like a tidal wave. "Who dares to touch him?! Who dares?!"
Ye Guan was her reverse scale!
