The sound was like rolling thunder, shaking the celestial court.

The immortal below vanished in the blink of an eye.

However, under such pressure, as if disrespecting him, those divine senses that had previously withdrawn indifferently came back from beyond the heavens with great interest, as if they were joining in the fun.

The Heavenly Emperor sensed it and his face immediately turned pale.

Wang Shu Shaojun, however, already knew what was going on.

Recently, she had heard a lot of gossip about the Celestial Court from Xuanxi Tianjun. It was said that among the many star lords in the sky, there were quite a few who did not take the Heavenly Emperor seriously, and it turned out that it was true.

And she watched coldly as the Heavenly Emperor seemed helpless against these star lords.

No wonder... He was angered by the star-crossed celestial beings and took it out on her.

Does she deserve to be a punching bag?

“I am the younger one, and the Heavenly Emperor is the older one,” she said bluntly.

This confrontational approach was her usual style; she did the same thing when she threw the Heavenly Emperor's talisman at his feet and led her people out of the heavens.

Even though the Tower of Reincarnation had worn down her sharpness and made her much more peaceful, her eyes still turned bloodshot when she saw the Heavenly Emperor, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

If she hadn't remembered the Heavenly Emperor saying that his subjects hadn't perished but had been thrown into some Demon-Suppressing Tower, she would have already slashed him with her sword. However, even with all her restraint, she couldn't bear the Heavenly Emperor's gaze, which seemed to look down upon the lowest of creatures. She coldly said, "Disregarding the lives of your subjects, you're a beast!" She shouted in a voice louder than the Heavenly Emperor's, "The Northern Divine Kingdom entrusted its people to you, but you've betrayed us! Even demons know to cherish their cubs; you're not even as good as a demon, yet you dare to occupy the position of Heavenly Emperor?! You're unworthy to be our master?!"

"You became the Heavenly Emperor by sending your subjects to their deaths, just to cause turmoil in the Three Realms?!" she shouted rudely.

Before the Heavenly Emperor could react, he heard such a tirade and was immediately enraged.

In the past, he would not have paid any attention to a mere female immortal, even if she had a similarly impressive background.

For him to disregard his status and leave that celestial palace, she was already quite remarkable.

Such insults made the Heavenly Emperor lose face. He was the ruler of the Three Realms and the master of this Celestial Court.

Wang Shu Shaojun knew this too, but she didn't regret speaking out.

If one has to be obsequious and grovel before the Heavenly Emperor just to live, turning a blind eye to all the injustices in the world and failing to seek justice for one's people, then what is the point of living?

To truly live is not to be a mindless, subservient zombie, but to speak your true feelings even if you are about to die.

She was well aware of the Heavenly Emperor's power.

When she and Immortal Lord Qingyuan led the demon beasts of the Northern Divine Kingdom into the Celestial Court, she only glanced at the Heavenly Emperor from afar, yet her heart trembled, and she felt a mixture of fear and reverence.

This Heavenly Emperor was not one of the ordinary human emperors or cultivators in the Tower of Reincarnation, but a truly powerful being of supreme rank. It is said that he was an ancient supreme god who existed in the Three Realms almost at the beginning of time. Subsequently, the saints of the heavens and the countless gods and Buddhas personally crowned him as the ruler of this world. Since then, for countless millennia, he has remained peacefully atop the Thirty-Three Heavens, overlooking everything in the Three Realms.

A true emperor is also a true strongman.

If she could, she would not want to anger the emperor.

But she had no choice but to seek justice for her people.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor were to become angry, he would vanish into thin air.

"How dare you be so presumptuous!" Countless immortals flew out from behind the Heavenly Emperor, surrounding this majestic and ruthless emperor. Under that vast pressure, even the palaces stretching for thousands of miles along the edge of the Celestial Court were groaning and shattering.

Everyone was looking at Wang Shu Shaojun.

“If the Heavenly Emperor were merciful, how could I be so presumptuous?” Wang Shu Shaojun said coldly.

The spiritual light gathered in her hand, transforming into her own spiritual sword, which she held horizontally in front of her chest.

At this moment, she could already see the killing intent in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes.

The Heavenly Emperor, who had ruled the Three Realms for countless years, would certainly not tolerate such a brazen rebellion.

She fell silent, then suddenly spoke, "Back then, when I joined the Celestial Court, I only wanted to bring peace and prosperity to my subjects. The demons of the Northern Lands have never feared sacrifice; for them, dying in battle is the greatest honor. But I cannot accept such a lowly and humiliating sacrifice, as if we were being trampled underfoot! If we are to die, it should be a true death in battle, on equal footing with the Celestial Guards. If the Celestial Court treats us as true members, we are willing to shed our last drop of blood for the Celestial Court. But Heavenly Emperor, I only want justice for the Divine Kingdom, why... must we die without dignity?"

"In the heart of the Heavenly Emperor, aren't we your subjects? What are we?" she asked earnestly.

The Heavenly Emperor's face was ashen, as if he were looking at her with a chilling gaze.

"When you entered the Celestial Court, I knew you would one day cause trouble." He squinted and said softly, "You treacherous nature, I should have known back then..."

"Was I not obedient enough back then?" Perhaps it was because when she emerged from the spiritual sword, her sword intent soared to the sky, that countless people had said she was too sharp, but Wang Shu Shaojun felt very wronged.

If the Heavenly Emperor doesn't cause trouble, why would she bother to rebel against him?

“You have eyes that are different from theirs,” the Heavenly Emperor said softly.
