Everyone stopped fighting with the appearance of the Emissary Vigilant.
“What is the Emissary Vigilant doing here?”
Xing Yuan frowned imdiately.
Before coming to destroy Shengming City and Peacock Manor, they would have given the higher-ups a heads-up. So no matter how brutal the killing was, the Emissary Vigilant would not interfere.
But now it suddenly appeared, and it happened to appear after Zhang Ruochen killed Shang Ziyan. It was a little too coincidental.
The Kunlun realm was huge, and there were naturally more than one Emissary Vigilant in charge of patrol, and their origins were also different. There were supre saints from all four dominant worlds working as Emissaries Vigilant in the Kunlun realm.
The Emissary Vigilant who appeared here, if not mistaken, should co from the Demon God realm, one of the four dominant worlds.
“Good to see you, Emissary Vigilant.”
Those cultivators on the ground greeted the Emissary Vigilant in silver armor.
The Emissary Vigilant in silver armor looked down from above, his voice forceful, carrying a mighty aura of a supre saint. “The war of rit prohibits internal fighting. You all have disregarded the heavenly rule of the Celestial Palace. Do you all know the consequences?”
Zhang Ruochen stood upright without fear or favor. “It was people from the Heavenly Realm that instigated the fight this ti. We were just acting in self-defense. Hope Your Honor will administer justice.”
Xing Yuan tried to rebut. “It was not like what Zhang Ruochen said, Your Honor. The actual situation is—”
The Emissary Vigilant cut in before Xing Yuan could finish his sentence. “I don’t have to tell you that no matter what the reason, you all have engaged in an infighting and shall receive punishnt.”
Xing Yuan choked back when he heard what the Emissary Vigilant said. He did not have the courage to challenge the Emissary Vigilant.
He could be executed without rcy for angering the Emissary Vigilant. There would be no recourse for him if that happened.
“Punishnt? There should be evidence, at least. In fact, the maiden has never been here,” said Maiden of a Thousand Stars, who was disguised as a handso man.
Having said that, she crushed a talisman and faded into a stream of light as she flew away into the distance in an instant.
She went so quick that even the Emissary Vigilant did not manage to stop her.
Besides, she did not reveal her identity, and naturally she was not afraid that the Emissary Vigilant would trace it back to her.
“Huh? One has escaped, and he was quick.” The Emissary Vigilant in a silver armor was slightly surprised.
He sent down an even more terrifying suppressive force of the supre saint with lightning and thunder in the sky. His terrifying aura locked on everyone on the battlefield below.
No one would end up well if anyone still tried to escape.
Others had also noticed that soone had fled, but they did not even know who that person was.
Zhang Ruochen had vaguely guessed it. He did not know that person, but that person had helped him. Besides, that person had also killed Phantom Princess, who was proficient in illusion, in a critical mont.
Just that it still puzzled Zhang Ruochen. He wondered why that person would take the risk to help since they did not even know each other.
“You all have violated the heavenly rules and shall receive punishnt. I could have brought down punishnt from heaven and killed you all.”
“Now that the battle between the Heavenly Realm and the Infernal Court is in full swing, we need the best people we could have. So I may spare the life of you all.”
“Capital cris can be forgiven, but punishnts are inevitable. Anyone who took part in the infighting will receive ten strikes of lightning and must not leave the battlefield of rit of the Kunlun realm for a year.”
The Emissary Vigilant’s voice was full of authority, and his words must not be questioned.
A cold light flashed in Xing Yuan’s eyes as he heard what the Emissary Vigilant said. Now he knew that the Emissary Vigilant was clearly favoring Zhang Ruochen and deliberately singling out the Heavenly Realm.
During the battle outside Peacock Manor, Zhang Ruochen’s side had been on the defensive and suffered so losses. But the losses of the Heavenly Realm were even greater.
Zhang Ruochen had killed Shang Ziyan, Feng Gudao, Zi Linglong, Chi Sheng, and Gu Tianyin—the top five top powerhouses, all of which had impressive backgrounds.
And then, there was Phantom Princess and two other top powerhouses who died at the hands of the mysterious guy who had escaped earlier.
Zhang Ruochen would have to die according to the heavenly rule of the Celestial Palace.
But now, he just had to receive ten strikes of lightning from heaven and observe a year of house arrest. These were not punishnts at all. It was apparent that the Emissary Vigilant was exculpating Zhang Ruochen.
Coupled with the fact that the Emissary Vigilant only appeared after Shang Ziyan’s death, Xing Yuan had reason to believe that the Emissary Vigilant might have been observing from the outer sky, waiting for Zhang Ruochen to kill Shang Ziyan a long ti ago.
The relations between the four dominant worlds had never been harmonious and had always been in a state of competition with each other.
This ti, it was apparent that the Demon God Realm faction had set the Heavenly Realm faction up.
“Apparently, it was them who—”
Bao Lie was not happy and wanted to argue with the Emissary Vigilant.
In his view, it was the Heavenly Realm people who provoked them; they were the victims, and only those from the Heavenly Realm should be punished.
Zhang Ruochen moved in a flash and ca up next to Bao Lie, pressing his hand on Bao Lie’s shoulder to stop him from speaking further.
He was not dumb. He could see that this Emissary Vigilant had an ax to grind with the Heavenly Realm faction and purposely wanted to put down their arrogance.
It would be too unwise to confront the Emissary Vigilant at this mont.
Zhang Ruochen felt it fortunate to have this Emissary Vigilant here. If the fighting continued, they probably would not get any advantage here.
Even if Blackie was confident of defeating all the powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm, Zhang Ruochen still felt uneasy. Who knows, their enemy would wipe them out instead if they were not careful.
This outco could not have been better since they had not suffered many casualties, and he had killed Shang Ziyan as he had wished to.
As for the remaining powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm faction, he would find them to settle the score with them one fine day.
“Since there are no objections, then be prepared to receive punishnt,” said the Emissary Vigilant.
Zzzzzzzzzz-Pang!
Hundreds of bolts of terrifying lightning struck down from heaven.
Each bolt of lightning locked on a figure on the battlefield below. No one could escape from it.
Since it was a punishnt, no one should resist. They could only silently endure it.
The heavenly lightning strikes were extrely powerful. Each bolt of lightning seed powerful enough to strike a star into pieces.
It was not difficult for those who were in good health to withstand the lightning strikes.
But those were injured would find it a little too unbearable, as each strike would aggravate their injuries further.
Ten strikes of lightning ca down in a row, and even Zhang Ruochen burped up a mouthful of blood after that.
The reason was, Zhang Ruochen was already seriously injured before this. Receiving ten counts of lightning strike and still keeping standing was a feat in itself.
“This ti it’s just a little punishnt. I hope you all have learned your lesson and must not violate the heavenly rules again.”
After speaking, the stalwart figure standing on the nine heavens vanished, and the terrifying suppressive aura dissipated.
“Phew!”
The many cultivators on the ground let out a long sigh of relief.
Everyone had felt uneasy and stressful before the Emissary Vigilant.
