Baili Qing, standing to the side, clenched her fists and glared at Long Qianling with a sinister look.
Everyone had different thoughts, and the scene inside the golden screen continued to change.
The scene quickly settled on a palace, which Bai Yaoguang recognized at a glance.
Isn't this her Imperial Preceptor's Hall?
In the scene, Long Qianling and Bai Qingnian are sitting on the steps, with Long Qianling holding Bai Qingnian's hand and pressing it against his heart.
After she said something, Bai Qingnian spoke up and asked.
"And what about you? Do you like me?"
Everyone heard Long Qianling give a soft "hmm".
These two had already confessed their feelings for each other long ago. When did this happen? Why didn't they know?
The scene jumped again, and everyone saw everything that Long Qianling and Bai Qingnian had gone through. Of course, Long Qianling did not show them the things that were not suitable for children.
After the video finished playing, Long Qianling waved her hand, removing the golden screen, and looked at Bai Qingnian with her red eyes. "Now, you should believe that I really did hide my identity to enter the Xuantian Sect for your sake, right?"
Bai Qing pursed her lips and uttered an equally shocking statement.
"That's my other half of my soul, isn't it?"
Even so, they are still two people...
He loved her, but he himself... didn't love her.
“Yes,” Long Qianling nodded slightly. “Little fox, come back with me. That way you will be able to fully master the power of the Linglong Heart.”
"No! I'm not, and I won't go back with you. I'm Bai Qingnian, I'm Yue Ci, Yue Ci from the cultivation world!" Bai Qingnian said anxiously. "We are very grateful to you for helping our cultivation world today. When the cultivation world recovers, we will definitely repay your life-saving grace!"
"Little fox, you..."
"You can leave now. Our master-disciple relationship ends here," Bai Qingnian interrupted her, his voice cold and distant this time.
Although his words were distant, his heart ached—no, it ached terribly.
Even if the other half of his soul is also him, even if that other half of him and Long Qianling went through a lot together, it is still not him in the end, is it?
"I……"
"Dragon God, you are a demon, yet you have interfered in the affairs of another realm without permission. You deserve punishment!"
Just as Long Qianling was about to speak, a solemn and dignified voice rang out, followed by a golden light that pierced through the blood-red sky and shot straight toward Long Qianling.
With a thud, Long Qianling was forced to his knees by a powerful force.
The people around them were also affected and knelt on the ground, but unlike them, they were not hit by the golden light.
"This is... the Way of Heaven?!" Ming Yuyin exclaimed in shock.
"Dragon God, do you know your mistake?"
The voice continued, and a pair of large red eyes in the sky slowly opened, gazing at the people on the ground.
Long Qianling looked up and met those eyes, gritting her teeth tightly, and said, word by word:
"I don't know."
"Unrepentant!"
"puff!"
Long Qianling was once again forced to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah Ling!" Bai Qingnian called out worriedly, wanting to go over and check on her condition.
But his knees seemed to be held down by something, unable to move, and he could only look at Long Qianling with an anxious expression.
"Since you are so unrepentant, then you shall obediently accept your punishment!" As the voice of the Heavenly Dao fell, Long Qianling was pulled into the air as if by something.
"Those who destroy living beings and kill gods are unworthy of being called gods. Today I will remove three of your scales as a warning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qianling suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Aaaaaah!"
Long Qianling raised her hand to retaliate, but the opponent was the Heavenly Dao. No matter how powerful she was, how could she possibly be stronger than the Lord of Laws?
Long Qianling screamed as a black scale, its tip stained with blood, was plucked out.
"This one scale is a punishment for your wanton slaughter of various races in the demon realm!"
"I...I refuse to accept this!"
Long Qianling gritted his teeth, his mouth was covered in blood, and he looked extremely disheveled.
Why? Why did the various races of the demon realm annihilate her dragon clan, and Heaven didn't punish those vile people? She was merely making them pay for their blood debts, so why should she be punished? She refused to accept this! She truly refused to accept it!
Why is this so unfair!
Long Qianling did not receive a reply from the Heavenly Dao. Soon after, she also experienced a sharp pain in her lower back.
"This scale is a punishment for your slaughter of those who share the same god!"
Once again, Long Qianling did not cry out. Instead, she clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her brow, the pain reaching her very soul, causing her soul space to tremble several times.
"ah--"
"This scale is a punishment for you, a god, who did not know how to protect all living beings, but instead slaughtered them time and time again. Your bloodlust is too strong, and you deserve the most punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scale between his eyebrows was plucked out.
"I... I refuse to accept this..."
The figure plummeted rapidly from mid-air, and Long Qianling had already lost consciousness after saying those words.
"Dragon God... Hah..." The voice of the Heavenly Dao grew fainter and fainter until the golden light disappeared, and only then were the people able to regain control of their knees.
"Ah Ling!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Long Qianling!"
As soon as they regained their freedom, several figures rushed over to Long Qianling in a hurry.
Bai Qingnian lunged forward and knelt beside her, trembling as he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“Ah Ling…”
Bai Yaoguang and the others also knelt to the side, their eyes fixed on Long Qianling, filled with worry.
At this moment, Long Qianling's face was pale, his mouth and brow were stained with blood, his body was slightly cold, and his breath was weak.
"Your Majesty! Please, please don't die! The demon realm still needs you! Waaah, my poor Your Majesty!"
Hu Ruo wailed loudly, wiping away tears every now and then, looking extremely heartbroken.
Of course, her sadness wasn't feigned; she was genuinely heartbroken.
Her crying only made everyone's mood worse.
"Let's take her back to the demon realm first..." Ming Yuyin glanced at Bai Qingnian subtly before turning her gaze to Long Qianling.
Long Qianling did find Bai Qingnian's other half of his soul, but he didn't want to return to the Demon Realm with Long Qianling. Now that Long Qianling has been punished by the Heavenly Dao, it seems that it will take a long time for his soul to merge.
We should at least wait until Long Qianling wakes up.
“Okay, she’s probably not going to recover on her own in her current state. Let’s go back to find Auntie.” Bai Yaoguang nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Hu Ruo stopped crying, and the three of them looked at Bai Qingnian, who was holding Long Qianling.
"Your Majesty, could you please release His Majesty first?"
