The next moment, the majestic voice of the Emperor Sikong echoed in the hall, causing Qingxuan Zhenjun to tremble in his heart, "Qingxuan, do you know your crime?"
"Immortal...Immortal..." Qingxuan Zhenjun's voice was hoarse as he uttered a few words with difficulty, "Immortal was framed, please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly!"
"Then tell me, who framed you? Who ordered you to imprison the gods? Where did you get your chains of imprisonment?"
“A lower-level immortal…” Qingxuan Zhenjun tried to find a god in his mind who could become his scapegoat, but he couldn’t find one.
He stared at Tianjue with malice, a terrible thought flashing through his mind.
The Emperor was truly adept at hiding his true intentions; even he was deceived.
Qingxuan Zhenjun trembled, but then he thought, what's wrong with him just planning for his own future?
"What crime have I committed? It's just a matter of the victor taking all!"
"Outrageous!" the Ziwei Emperor roared. "For your own selfish desires, you have harmed your own kind, colluded with demons to destroy the barrier, causing the Purple Spirit Goddess to sacrifice herself for you, and even murdered the Hundred Flower Fairy and imprisoned the son of the Jade Dragon True God. Such heinous crimes are too numerous to mention!"
A hint of madness flashed in Qingxuan Zhenjun's eyes:
"So what? Who here isn't scheming for their own future? If it weren't for your stubbornness, I wouldn't still be a True Lord. That bitch, the Hundred Flower Fairy, deserved to die for not submitting to me! As for the son of the Jade Dragon True God..." he sneered, "A useless piece of trash, all he does is fawn over those fairies!"
Upon hearing this, all the gods in the hall gasped in shock.
They never imagined that Qingxuan Zhenjun would become so ruthless and insane.
The hall fell silent for a time.
Emperor Sikong stood up, his body radiating golden light:
"True Lord Qingxuan, you are a righteous god, yet you have committed heinous crimes for your own selfish desires. Today, I, the Emperor, will punish you according to the Heavenly Rules, stripping you of your divine status and annihilating your divine soul!"
Before he could finish speaking, a golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck Qingxuan Zhenjun on the head. He felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if a million sharp blades were churning inside him.
That kind of pain was more unbearable than being torn to pieces.
"ah--"
Qingxuan Zhenjun couldn't help but scream in agony as his divine essence was being peeled away inch by inch, and golden divine blood began to seep from his seven orifices.
As the body grew increasingly transparent, specks of golden light emanated from within, gradually dissipating into the air.
The Purple Emperor coldly observed all of this, his hands continuously forming hand seals: "Do you know your mistake?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Qingxuan Zhenjun sneered, "Wrong? What wrong have I done? The victor is king, the loser is villain... Ah!"
"No—"
Before he could finish speaking, the Ziwei Emperor changed the hand seals in his hands.
Instantly, Qingxuan Zhenjun felt his soul shatter, as if a mirror had been struck by a heavy hammer, and the cracks spread rapidly.
His vision began to blur, and he vaguely caught a glimpse of a small purple figure at the cuff of Tianjue's sleeve.
He tried to shout again, but it was too late.
The next moment, his body completely dissipated in the Ninth Heaven, leaving no trace of his presence.
Emperor Ziwei withdrew his magic power, frowned as he stared at the spot where True Monarch Qingxuan had vanished, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
"May the gods take this as a warning. Heavenly rules must not be violated, and selfish desires are even more unacceptable!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The gods were still in shock and unable to recover.
"Emperor Tianjue, the rest is up to you!" Emperor Sikong said, then vanished from his throne.
Tianjue accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After Emperor Dai Sikong left, Tianjue returned to his throne and spoke again with a serious expression.
"May the gods heed the Emperor's words: those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
True Monarch Yueyun mustered his courage and said, "Your Majesty, this humble immortal wishes to ask about the matter of the High Goddess Ziling..."
"ask."
Yueyun was overjoyed.
"This humble immortal wishes to know how the High Goddess Ziling is doing these days. May I ask the Emperor for leave to go to the mortal realm and search for her?"
After hearing this, the others also chimed in.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been more than ten years since we learned that Zi Ling has been reincarnated. I suppose the Goddess Zi Ling has grown up and become sensible, which makes it easier for us to communicate with her."
Just then, a man in blue approached the entrance of the main hall. He was none other than the God Luo Bai, whom they had just seen in the mirror.
He approached, leaning on his cane, supported by Xiaoxian on both sides.
"Your Majesty, I would also like to ask for leave."
He didn't even know Zi Ling was dead; during his hundred years of imprisonment, he suffered endless torment.
Now that Zi Ling has been reborn as a human, he should go and see her.
Tianjue looked at the crowd, then noticed Xiao Wanwan peeking out from her sleeve, and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you willing to see her?"
After thinking it over, Xiao Wanwan finally nodded in agreement.
"think."
Upon hearing this, Tianjue addressed the crowd.
"In that case, we'll grant your wish!"
Everyone was overjoyed and was about to ask for leave when, unexpectedly, a person emerged from Tianjue's sleeve.
A tiny little thing.
Seeing this, True Monarch Yueyun asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, is this the new spirit pet you acquired on your table?"
Tianjue chuckled and pushed the little figure on the table several meters away. The figure had no choice but to utter an "Ah!" before immediately transforming back into Forgiveness.
The girl sat on the ground, her long hair hanging down, her delicate pink eyes highlighting her fair skin.
She raised her bright, large eyes and blinked them as she looked at everyone, as shy as a newlywed bride.
True Monarch Yueyun was so startled that he jumped back.
"Your Majesty, which fairy has taken a liking to you?"
Tianjue suppressed a laugh and looked at the people on the ground with a serious expression. "Ask her."
