Ke Mengqing looked at Master Jianyang with anger and said, "Do you think they can be released just because their memories are searched and no evidence is found? Even if they really didn't kill the four immortals and the Taoists, they were at the scene when the incident happened, right? Even if they can't be convicted, they can't be released!"

"How dare you!" Master Jianyang slammed the table, pointed at Ke Mengqing and shouted, "Roaring Shangguan, how dare you! I am the presiding judge!"

Ke Mengqing said angrily, "Master Changxia, Master Shuting, Master Quanjing, and Master Songci have served as judicial gods for hundreds of thousands of years and have made great contributions to the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms. Just because you are the presiding judge, can you be so careless about their cases?"

After Ke Mengqing finished speaking, Zhenren Jieqing, Zhenren Zhou Zhao, Zhenren Qin Yi, and Zhenren Guanghua also came out and bowed to Master Jianyang, saying, "There are still doubts in this case. I ask the abbot to be cautious."

Master Jianyang had an expressionless face. He waved his hand at the five people and said, "I have my own ideas. Please withdraw."

"!!!" Ke Mengqing suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Master Jian Yang in disbelief.

Master Jianyang waved his hand again and said, "Stand back! Are you going to disobey my orders?"

Ke Mengqing stared at Jian Yangshang with an angry gaze. He then snorted coldly and bowed to the Five Thunder Emperors, saying, "I believe that simply tracing back the soul's memories cannot completely clear Zhong Wuyan and Bai Suzhen of suspicion. We absolutely cannot release them at this time. I ask the Five Thunder Emperors to make the final decision."

"Why, aren't you questioning whether the Five Thunder Emperor's soul-tracing is true?" Master Jianyang put a big hat on Ke Mengqing.

Upon hearing this, Ke Mengqing became extremely furious. He shouted, took off his boots and threw them at Master Jianyang.

Two black boots turned into two black lights and flew to the top of Master Jianyang's head, but they were quickly shattered by Master Jianyang's protective fairy light.

Although the boots did not hit Master Jianyang, the scene looked so absurd and funny in the eyes of everyone present.

Master Jianyang was furious, slamming the table loudly. "He's rebelling! Someone, take him down!"

"Fuck your mother! Jianyang, I'll fuck your ancestors!" Ke Mengqing pointed at Master Jianyang's face and yelled, and the officials from the Ministry of Thunder and the judges of heaven were all stunned.

Zhong Wuyan and Bai Suzhen looked at this scene with astonishment. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and it was very difficult to hold it back.

"You...you...catch him for me. I'm going to punish him by making him sweep the streets of Tianhefang!" Master Jianyang raised his hand and pointed at Ke Mengqing with trembling hands.

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this, but once he did, it was like adding fuel to the fire, making Ke Mengqing even more angry.

Ke Mengqing rushed to the case, pointed at Master Jianyang's nose and said, "How dare you say that, old man! If you hadn't sent Master Hongqing to Tianhefang, and he was with us in the Southern Continent, Master Changxia and the others would never have been killed!"

When he was angry, Ke Mengqing directly picked up the jade token on the big table and smashed it towards Master Jianyang.

At this moment, Master Zhou Zhao and Master Qin Yi rushed forward, one grabbed Ke Mengqing's hand that was throwing the jade token, and the other hugged Ke Mengqing and pulled him back.

At this moment, Zhenren Jieqing immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness the Five Thunder Emperors and Master Jianyang, although there's no evidence proving that Zhong Wuyan and Bai Suzhen harmed the four Zhenren and the Taoists of the Jade Emperor Temple, they were present at the time of the incident and indeed released two sword energies. Based on this, they remain suspects."

At this point, Master Jie Qing continued, "Furthermore, in the Jade Emperor Temple case, there are powerful individuals obscuring the secrets of Heaven, so we can't easily determine right and wrong, good and evil. Zhong Wuyan and Bai Suzhen can be temporarily spared from sentencing, but they can't be released either. They should be detained in the Thunder Department first, pending further developments."

Upon hearing this, the Five Thunder Emperors, whose expressions had been somewhat solemn due to the previous farce, relaxed slightly. Then the Southern Thunder Emperor slowly said, "We are merely supervising the trial. The presiding judge is Dean Jianyang, and he will make the final decision."

"Did you hear that?" Master Jianyang's sullen expression finally brightened a little upon hearing this. He immediately shouted at everyone, "Did you hear that? I'm the presiding judge!"

After saying this, Master Jianyang bowed to the Five Directions Thunder Emperor and said, "I thank the Five Directions Thunder Emperor."

Valley Blockage

The Central Thunder Emperor waved his hand and said to Master Jianyang, "Although you are the chief judge, what Ke Mengqing and Jie Qing said is not without reason. I hope you can handle it with caution."

Anyone could tell from the Central Thunder Emperor's words that he was expressing support for Ke Mengqing and Master Jieqing.

But Master Jianyang seemed not to have heard. After bowing to the Central Thunder Emperor, he turned around and said, "Based on the Soul Tracing Technique, Zhong Wuyan and Bai Suzhen's memories have been examined and confirmed to be free of any suspicion of murdering the four immortals or the Jade Emperor Temple Taoists. They are hereby released. However, they must return to the Lishan Immortal Palace immediately and must not leave. They must remain at the Heavenly Court's beckoning at any time."

"I..." Ke Mengqing was about to curse again, but Master Zhou Zhao covered his mouth directly.

The thunder generals and soldiers around were also very puzzled by Master Jianyang's decision and stood there in a daze for a moment.

"Let them go!" Master Jianyang had to raise his voice to remind those thunder generals and thunder soldiers.

The thunder generals looked towards the Five Directions Thunder Emperor, but the Five Directions Thunder Emperor was already sitting high on the Qingyun with his eyes closed. Then they looked towards Jian He, Lei Zhenzi and the others.

Finally, Lei Zhenzi stepped forward and said, "Since the head of the Heavenly Court has spoken...let's release them."

"Yes." The thunder generals bowed and accepted the order, then removed the shackles from Bai Suzhen and Zhong Wuyan, and untied the golden thunder chains on the two.

Master Jianyang looked at Zhong Wuyan and Bai Suzhen and said, "You should return to the Lishan Palace first, but you cannot leave the Lishan Palace at will. The Heavenly Court may summon you at any time."
