Chapter 427: Chapter 35 The Sentencing of Huayang Venerable to Death_3

So there was absolutely no communication?

The many elders of the Upper Pure Sect were silent.

Huayang glanced at the expressions of the people and said indifferently, "The laws of the Daoist Sect are clear and bright, even if the Yuqing Heavenly Venerate comes to settle karma, he would come alone, so hiding or not makes no difference."

He revered the laws, but he did not deny the influence of individual might. Without the support of a great power, any law was a joke.

Even the utopian vision of a harmonious world under Qingcang Master ultimately rested upon the shoulders of a single Immortal.

If Gu Wen were to seek revenge, one session of closed-door cultivation would not stop him.

Upon hearing this, the elders instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If that’s the case, that’s good. The Yuqing Heavenly Venerate just recently left the Immortal Land not long ago. Even if he was able to consecutively slay the avatars of the Twelve Demon Ancestors back then, he ultimately needs some accumulation."

"Delaying for a few hundred years always provides an opportunity for a reprieve."

"If it really comes to a fight, just beware of Chi Venerable."

Buzz!

The sound of a flying sword breaking through the air resonated in the Daoist temple.

Outside, five black-clad True Martial Palace cultivators landed outside the main vein Daoist temple of the Upper Pure Sect. An array that transformed into nothingness stood guard.

The five men barged into the Daoist temple indiscriminately, ignoring the stumbling blocks posed by the Upper Pure Sect’s true disciples, and even rudely pushed them aside while shouting loudly.

The highest amongst them only possessed cultivation at the Returning to Void Stage, but with their True Martial jade dragon garments, they intimidated the many True Monarchs and great powers into not daring to stop them, smoothly arriving before Huayang and several Upper Pure True Monarchs.

An inspector from the True Martial Palace spoke coldly, "True Martial Palace Investigation Bureau, by the order of the Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, summon Huayang to the Investigation Bureau for inquiry."

"How dare you! You have the audacity to directly call upon the Venerable’s name!"

An elder angrily rebuked, his presence bearing down upon the five men, but in the next moment, he was stopped by Huayang.

Huayang slightly raised his hand, his eyes indifferent, showing no signs of anger, and asked, "Do you have an Imperial Decree?"

The inspector from the True Martial Palace took out a piece of jade brocade. Huayang took it, glanced at it, and nodded, "I’ll go with you."

Huayang truly breathed a sigh of relief; at the very least, he was still willing to take advantage of power for personal gains.

The elders of the Upper Pure Sect were shocked and appalled, "The Yuqing Heavenly Venerate is shamelessly exploiting his power!"

"Venerable, no! The True Martial Palace is a dangerous den, they could even detain a Demi Immortal, your chances of danger are more than luck once inside."

The elders together sought to prevent him, but Huayang gestured with his hand and walked amidst the five True Martial Palace cultivators.

The inspector did not leave and turned to the elder who had unleashed his presence earlier, saying, "For hindering law enforcement, you are also required to come with us."

The elder was so furious he turned pale, wishing to confront them, but the True Martial Palace had long established its authority, and the laws deeply instilled in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years.

At least within the Three Pure Mountain, throughout the lands of the Xuanhuang State, they still had some efficacy.

A Venerable and an elder were taken away by the Investigation Bureau of the True Martial Palace, causing a huge stir both within and outside the Daoist Sect.

The elders of the Upper Pure Sect went to kneel outside the Jade Palace to plead with the Immortals to uphold justice, others rushed to Taiching Mountain to ask for Yun Miao Heavenly Venerable’s intervention, causing uproar and restlessness across mountains and lands far and wide.

When word spread throughout the lands of the Human Race, all the great powers felt a change in the air.

Upon receiving the news, Li Yunshang could only curse, "Rebel, truly never a day of peace."

-----------------

True Martial Palace, situated deep beneath the Jade Palace, eight hundred meters into the earth, reaching the dragon veins of the grotto heaven.

One after another, cold and iron-like Taoist Soldiers stood guard with weapons, with True Monarchs patrolling on their flying swords from time to time. The center featured a large hole with a diameter of a hundred meters, surrounded by countless prisons.

Huayang walked in, and the soldiers on duty showed surprising looks. They were disciples from various Daoist Sects, who only joined the True Martial Palace seeking a better future.

Some would remain in the Daoist Sect, while others would be dispatched to various places as leaders of the Taoist Soldiers.

As he arrived at the Investigation Bureau, the oppressive hall was lined with inspectors and spies from various factions, and of course, those who just came for the excitement.

Once Huayang entered, he was immediately scolded by a petulant voice.

"How audacious! To step with the right foot into the hall is a death sentence! Death sentence!"

Chi Yu Zi adjusted her ill-fitting official hat, constantly striking the gavel.

Dressed in a simple Daoist robe, the Yuqing Heavenly Venerate stood behind her, his smile brimming, resembling a Worldly Demon Lord.

Can this also warrant a crime?

The crowd was shocked, wondering if the eight hundred years of Daoist laws were going to be destroyed at once.
