"That's right!" Wen Zhong, Deng Jiugong, Emperor Donghua and others echoed in unison, each of them filled with righteous indignation and shouting at the top of their lungs.
Yu Kai's gaze shot towards these people like cold arrows, and he asked word by word, each word tinged with frost: "You are staring at me and talking about me?"
"Hmph, who are we talking about? Some people know it!" Zhang Daoling completely ignored Yu Kai's intimidating gaze. He now held a high position in the Heavenly Court. Leveraging his relationship with the Hidden Saint Zhang Qiming, he was used to bullying others, and many people fawned over him.
Yu Kai's heart was burning with anger. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and swung it violently. A powerful spiritual power rushed towards Zhang Daoling like a surging tsunami, carrying the momentum of destroying the world.
"Bang!" A crisp sound, like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploded in the Jade Pool, jarring everyone's eardrums. Zhang Daoling was struck by a sledgehammer, flying sideways from his seat, slamming into a pillar with a thud, which instantly became covered in spiderweb-like cracks. Then, with another clang, he fell to the ground in a heap, sending up a cloud of dust.
Instantly, the Yaochi Lake was filled with an eerie silence, as if time had stood still, and even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly. No one had expected Yu Kai to act so decisively in front of the Jade Emperor.
Heavenly Masters Ge Xuan and Sa Shoujian were stunned by this sudden change, their chopsticks dropping from their hands. It took them a long time to come to their senses, and they hurriedly threw down their chopsticks, ran forward in a panic, and helped Zhang Daoling up.
At this moment, Zhang Daoling was filled with fear, regretting his reckless and impulsive actions. The left side of his face was swollen like a steamed bun, and blood was pouring from the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I am innocent! This thief stole the peaches and the elixir, and now he is openly assaulting me. Your Majesty, please punish Yu Kai severely!" His miserable appearance made him look as if he had suffered the most injustice in the world.
The Queen Mother was filled with suspicion, and she couldn't understand why Zhang Daoling was so sure it was Yu Kai. You know, the Jade Emperor had used the extremely powerful Haotian Mirror and had repeatedly deduced it but still had no clue.
Seeing that the Jade Emperor's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, so black that it seemed as if ink could drip out of it, she did not dare to speak rashly. The whole scene was so solemn and suffocating, and the air seemed to be frozen with oppression.
The Devouring Emperor seemed to be out of the matter, still leisurely holding his wine, and together with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, he watched Zhang Daoling's farce with a smile on his face, his eyes full of mockery.
"Your Majesty, please severely punish Yu Kai!" Wen Zhong's face turned stern when he saw this. He stood up from his seat and knelt respectfully in front of the Jade Emperor with a serious face.
Then, Emperor Donghua, Deng Jiugong, Doumu Yuanjun, the Central Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the Eastern Green Emperor Lingweiyang, the Southern Red Emperor Chihuonu, the Western White Emperor Bai Zhaoju, the Northern Black Emperor Zhiguangji, Li Jing, Chang'e, Wei Hu, Dragon Ancestor Aohai, Phoenix Ancestor Fengminglu and others also knelt down in an orderly manner and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please severely punish Yu Kai!" The voices were uniform and resounded throughout the Yaochi.
"Do you have any evidence?" The Jade Emperor's face was stern, radiating an invisible pressure, like an immovable mountain, making anyone afraid to look directly at him. He demanded coldly, his heart brimming with rage. How dare these people disrespect him, the Jade Emperor? The Twelve Ancestral Witches alone were a formidable challenge, not to mention the presence of the Devouring Emperor and Hou Tu. They had united to make this difficult for him.
Zhang Daoling ignored the Jade Emperor's anger and said confidently: "Yu Kai is a wild boy of unknown origin. If he had not stolen the peaches and elixirs, how could he have broken through to his current level so quickly!" His words were full of confidence and disdain.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai slowly stood up and walked towards them, step by step, steady and powerful. With each step, his powerful aura spread like a surging wave, causing everyone to stumble and retreat.
"What do you want to do?" Wen Zhong shouted coldly with caution, a trace of panic and fear flashing in his eyes.
Yu Kai's heart was boiling with rage, and he thought to himself: This group of people are slandering me without any evidence. If I don't fight back today, I will be bullied even more in the future. With this thought, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and like two sharp blades, he swung his hands violently, and a tremendous force surged out like a tidal wave, sweeping them away like ants.
Everyone instantly vomited blood and flew backwards uncontrollably like leaves in a strong wind. With a few muffled "bangs", they fell heavily to the ground, raising a large amount of dust and making shallow pits on the ground.
Yu Kai's injuries hadn't healed yet, and the intense movement left him exhausted, causing him to cough violently. Each cough seemed to exhaust all his strength, and his face flushed crimson. Seeing this, Yin Ziling and Murong Shuang's faces were filled with heartache. They rushed forward like two streams of light and held Yu Kai steady.
Yu Kai waved his hand slightly to indicate that he was fine. Then his face turned cold and his eyes were like torches. He stared at everyone with endless coldness in his eyes.
Xuanyuan was enraged by this and shouted at the top of his voice, "Someone come here! Yu Kai actually dared to disrupt the order of Yaochi and openly attacked an important official of Heaven. Let's all work together to capture him and hand him over to the Jade Emperor for punishment!" His voice resounded throughout Yaochi like a huge bell.
Hearing Xuanyuan's cry, the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, the Four Saints of the North Pole, the Three Officials, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and others quickly drew their weapons. For a moment, cold light flashed, and the radiance of various weapons shone brightly. They surged over like a tide, their momentum fierce, as if they were about to drown Yu Kai and the others in an instant.
Shen Xingze, Ruiying, Bai Zhiwen, and the others didn't flinch. With determination in their eyes, they immediately drew their weapons and stood in front of Yu Kai like a solid wall. Lin Niuniu, on the other hand, moved like lightning, appearing in front of Yu Kai in an instant, like an indestructible barrier.
"You take the eldest brother down, leave this to me!" Lin Niuniu took a step forward, and a powerful momentum suddenly rose into the sky, just like a lion ready to pounce, majestic and exuding a terrifying aura.
"Kill!" Xuanyuan, the former Human Emperor and a disciple of the Human Cult, had a resolute look in his eyes. He brandished the radiant Xuanyuan Sword, its blade gleaming like lightning, and charged towards Lin Niuniu. In an instant, a variety of weapons unleashed dazzling energy attacks, like dense meteors, raining down on Lin Niuniu, completely enveloping her.
Lin Niuniu showed no fear, her delicate hands swung like a phantom, each strike precise and swift, defusing the attacks. Simultaneously, her counterattacks were fierce and swift, like a tiger unleashed from its cage, unstoppable, sending everyone flying. At this moment, she was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, unstoppable wherever she went. The renowned Five Emperors of the Five Directions, the Four Saints of the North Pole, and others were all severely wounded by her. Each one of them, like a cannonball, slammed into the surroundings, crashing into walls, tables, and chairs with resounding explosions. This fierce battle blasted vast holes through the magnificent Yao Chi. Immortal stones and flowers within the Yao Chi scattering, turning to dust. The entire Heavenly Palace shook violently under the overwhelming force, countless tiles falling and cracks appearing in the walls.
