Chapter 361: Chapter 52: Judge

Han Dang’s expression was extremely ugly.

"In front of someone far stronger than oneself... one always has to bow their head," he remarked.

The words he had previously spoken now emerged from Gu Shen’s mouth, filled with such irony.

Among the Changye Five Families, there were people who couldn’t be provoked.

These families were like mountains.

And they were the people at the pinnacle of these mountains.

"Uncle Gao," who accompanied Li Qingsui, was one of them!

If only his intelligence gathering had been more thorough, aware that Gu Shen was out with "Uncle Gao," he would certainly not have shown up tonight, much less chosen this moment to make a move.

Now.

Uncle Gao had merely given a hint of a warning with a trace of spiritual power.

That was already a face-saving gesture for his own school.

With the strength of that Titled Transcendent, even if his teacher had come... he would have had to be polite.

"Senior Brother Han... what a coincidence to see you again," she said.

Just as Han Dang was preparing to leave,

a light, laughing female voice came from afar.

Bai Lu came up next to Han Dang and kindly lifted her hand as if to help him, though her fingers didn’t actually touch his garment.

The Bai Family Witch asked with concern, "Senior Brother Han, are you alright?"

Enduring the spiritual pain, Han Dang shook his head, "No... no injuries."

"That’s good. There’s something I precisely wanted to tell you, Senior Brother Han." Bai Lu smiled, although she was speaking to Han Dang, her gaze remained fixed on Gu Shen.

Han Dang felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Bai Lu spoke softly, "The mundane transaction we had earlier, let’s end it there."

...

...

"As per your instruction... I waited a bit..."

Uncle Gao’s driving speed was very slow, and he glanced at the time.

"Hmm... well done."

Li Qingsui raised an eyebrow, taking delight in misfortune, "It’s about time Gu Shen suffered a bit."

Uncle Gao could only give a helpless smile.

He had always kept a strand of his attention on Gu Shen; though they had parted at the gates of Snow Forbidden City, the Li Family certainly didn’t wish any mishaps upon the person they had just finished "discussing" with.

"If I’m not wrong, Han Dang was the orchestrator of the challenge storm, correct?"

Li Qingsui suddenly spoke.

Now, at Gu Shen’s doorstep, challengers were piling up one after another.

The youth of Changye all wanted to witness the "S-level" splendor... The storm was getting bigger and bigger, and the initial challenger had been under the Fourth Judge’s "Chu Jue."

He was a person of unremarkable strength.

"There has always been a contradiction within the Judgement Institute... Initially, it was just between Zhu Wang and Mr. Shu, but later it inevitably spread and continued," Uncle Gao spoke softly,

He suddenly frowned.

Turning on the windshield wipers, he also pressed down on the brakes.

"...?"

The moment the first flake of snow stuck to the car window, Li Qingsui realized something was wrong.

Uncle Gao’s Extraordinary Domain spontaneously expanded, enveloping the moving vehicle so that despite the fierce wind and snow outside, it should not have affected the drive... but now, a flake of snow had settled on the car.

This meant that a breach had formed in the domain.

In the darkness of the night, the car slowly stopped and the illumination from the windshield wipers and headlights revealed that, unknowingly, a young figure draped in a Judge’s robe had appeared.

Wind and snow fell on Bai Chen’s shoulders.

For some reason... beneath the mingling of fog and light, he seemed very much like a ghostly pale snow spirit; even his "friendly" smile was somewhat chilling.

Li Qingsui furrowed her delicate brows.

In the Snow Forbidden City, almost everyone kept their distance from this future "Great Judge" out of respect, not only because he was a genius of the Bai Family but also because of... his ability.

"Judge".

This was a legendary offensive capability that contended with "Dissolving Dream" on the Transcendent Genealogy Map, a nearly "S-level" formidable power.

Bai Chen usually didn’t smile and appeared as cold as an iceberg. Coupled with the notorious title of "Judge," it resulted in people staying away from him.

He was always alone, no matter where he went.

Now, the iceberg-like Judge had arrived here, blocking the car of the Li Family.

Bai Chen thought for a long time and squeezed out what he believed was a friendly smile, "Mr. Gao Tian... I’d like to have a chat with you."

Uncle Gao lifted his head.

His own immaculate domain was punctured with a tiny crack.

Bai Chen, along with the vast wind and snow outside, entered the domain in such a simple manner...besides, the "Wind Eyes" atop of Skytop, which had lost response, started to function again.

There were stars in the vast snowy sky of the Heavenly Curtain.

Those were Changye’s eyes.

"Wait here for me."

With that, Gao Tian tossed out those words, then got out of the car.

The next moment, the crack slowly closed.

The domain regained its flawlessness, corresponding to the "Wind Eyes" in the sky losing their response again... No one knew what kind of conversation was unfolding here.

"A rare visitor."

Gao Tian casually grabbed an umbrella from the car, held it by the handle with one hand, looked at Bai Chen, and said softly, "If you’ve come to stop me... then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed."

Although he was nearly ten miles away from Snow Forbidden City.

Gao Tian’s spiritual power still maintained a vast coverage; he could refine his spiritual power within a huge range...and sense even the slightest movements.

Put simply.

The sharpest eyes in Snow Forbidden City were not the "Wind Eyes," but his domain.

Standing high not only allows one to see far...but also to see very clearly.

Gu Shen was currently facing two troubles, a deep-sea youngster from the Deep Sea Eleventh Layer who had unleashed the "Truth Domain," and the other, the notoriously arrogant Miss Bai of the Bai Family.

"Don’t misunderstand."

Bai Chen’s demeanor was quite friendly, "I didn’t come here to fight."

"I just want to talk...about anything, really." While saying this, Bai Chen’s expression was very serious, and these words didn’t sound like they were coming from a future Great Judge at all.

It was more like a middle-aged aunt who, bored, was looking for someone to chat with.

In the dead of night.

To stop a Titled Transcendent just to chat about anything?

No ghost would believe it.

But...Bai Chen was serious.

He sighed softly, "Mr. Gao Tian, I know you know everything, but that’s my little sister, and as a brother, I can’t just watch her end up like Han Dang, can I?"

He did not possess as powerful spiritual perception as Gao Tian.

But...he held the control over most of the "Wind Eyes" inside Snow Forbidden City.

Thus, Bai Chen knew what was happening on the other side of the Snow Forbidden City.

From Han Dang using the Truth Domain to Gao Tian instantly shattering it and uprooting it with his spiritual power...he watched the entire battle, and he saw it very clearly.

He just didn’t say a word, only quietly played the role of a spectator, watching as Gao Tian unleashed his spiritual power, smashing Han Dang’s "Truth Domain".

The reason was simple.

He truly didn’t care about Han Dang.

He only cared about... his own little sister.
