Wu Lai saw Song Xiwei arrive, but his eyes did not show any strong emotion.
Song Xiwei simply looked at him and blinked at him from a distance.
Wu Lai's lips moved, but he didn't seem inclined to speak.
"The Heavenly Emperor has arrived!"
Surrounded by the priests, the Heavenly Emperor arrived.
"Fellow immortals, please calm down," the Heavenly Emperor said, interrupting as the situation began to spiral out of control.
The Heavenly Queen's maternal clan was a prominent family in the Heavenly Realm. Their assassination by Wu Lai in front of all the immortals was something that could never be left unresolved.
Even if Wu Lai has a special identity, that won't do. The Empress is not an ordinary little fairy in the Heavenly Realm. This matter must be explained.
"Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should Wu Lai be dealt with?" In front of so many celestial officials, the Heavenly Emperor directly directed all attention to Song Xiwei.
As soon as the Heavenly Emperor addressed Song Xiwei as "Lord God," all the immortals began to discuss among themselves.
Song Xi smiled. "Old fox, are you waiting for her here?"
"In my opinion, there is no need to deal with Crown Prince Wulai," Song Xiwei said frankly.
The Heavenly Emperor remained expressionless, but the other Heavenly Officials, especially the Heavenly Empress's maternal relatives, all became restless.
“A life for a life! He killed the Heavenly Empress. Even if you are the God Lord, you cannot condone him! Heaven has its rules, and you cannot protect the murderer!”
As the Heavenly Empress's maternal clan launched their attack, other Heavenly Officials also joined in.
"Avenge the Queen!!"
"No matter who you are, you cannot break the rules of Heaven!!"
"..."
It got noisier and noisier, and Song Xiwei's ears were ringing.
These celestial officials seemed to be prepared to risk everything if they didn't deal with Wu Lai according to the celestial rules.
"No one can break the rules of Heaven. Fine, I won't break the rules of Heaven. I'll help Heaven create new rules." Song Xiwei said calmly.
Her words left all the celestial officials completely dumbfounded.
"The rules of the Heavenly Realm are too rigid and mostly empty words. Do you really think it's reasonable to maintain superficial things?" Song Xiwei showed no respect to the Heavenly Emperor in front of him.
The Heavenly Emperor was already losing face, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only remain silent.
The other celestial officials were completely enraged.
"How dare you openly question our Heavenly Rules! You are not the ruler of our Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Emperor is still here. How dare you speak like this!"
"Whether the Heavenly Emperor can continue to be the emperor depends on my decision. Do you think I can speak here?" Song Xiwei raised a finger and pointed at the Heavenly Emperor, glancing at the Heavenly Officials who were pointing at him with dissatisfaction.
The Heavenly Emperor remained silent, probably intending to hide behind these celestial officials. He was certain that he wouldn't drag all the celestial officials into this mess.
This old fox never once considered stepping down from the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
Even if it meant sacrificing the Heavenly Empress, even if it meant sacrificing his own son, he still couldn't bear to give up the position of Heavenly Emperor.
"Although our magical powers are weak, if you protect the murderer and show disrespect to our Lord of Heaven, we will go through fire and water to seek justice!!"
"We demand justice!!"
The celestial officials were completely fired up, ready to go all out.
Song Xiwei looked at them speechlessly. The Heavenly Emperor was just cowering behind them, while they, the cannon fodder, were still charging forward with great enthusiasm.
"Quiet!! You are now clamoring for justice because Prince Wulai killed the Empress. You think that killing someone should be punished with a life, and that's the way to do it, so you want to get justice, right?"
No sooner had Song Xiwei finished speaking than a celestial official said, "That's right! That's exactly it! A life for a life, it's only right and proper!"
"Alright, Prince Wulai, come and tell everyone how you killed the Empress."
Song Xiwei looked at Wulai, giving him a chance to speak.
Wu Lai straightened his back and, in front of everyone, denied it, saying, "I did not kill the Empress."
