As the group entered the hall, Jin Detian's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
The people who came were none other than the chieftains of several other major tribes, namely Dijiang, Jumang, Rushou, Xuanming, Houtu, Qiangliang, Zhujiuyin, Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi, and others.
With the addition of Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, the twelve chieftains of the Nine-Colored Human Race finally arrived at this moment.
After entering, everyone hastily bowed to Empress Jin Detian and found a place to sit down.
Dijiang spoke first: "Just now, we seemed to hear something about a Human Emperor and a Demon Emperor outside the hall. May I ask, what exactly happened?"
Gonggong rose and bowed to Dijiang, saying, "Fellow Daoists, you've come at the right time. Our Human Emperor is fabricating charges against me and Zhurong. If you hadn't come soon, Zhurong and I might have been wrongly accused and killed!"
Empress Jin De simply watched Gonggong's performance coldly, without offering any rebuttal.
Upon hearing this, Dijiang was slightly surprised. "What do you mean by that? Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly. If you are truly innocent, we will plead with His Majesty on your behalf."
Jumang, Tianwu, and the others nodded, glancing at the high and mighty Empress Jinde with a half-smile, their malice impossible to conceal.
Jin Detian's heart began to sink slowly.
Hu Le also noticed something was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel worried for his teacher's wife.
The others in the hall also sensed that something was wrong, but for a moment no one stepped forward, wanting to see what Gonggong and his group were up to.
Next, Gonggong embellished the whole story.
Dijiang pondered for a moment, then looked up at Empress Jinde and smiled, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to add to what Fellow Daoist Gonggong said?"
Empress Jin De chuckled dismissively: "What, Di Jiang, are you interrogating me?"
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! But everything has to be based on reason. Even though you are His Majesty the Emperor, you still have to be reasonable."
"Fellow Daoist Dijiang is absolutely right! I urge Your Majesty to be careful with your words!"
Before Dijiang could finish speaking, Tianwu interrupted him.
The other clan leaders echoed this sentiment, their words filled with accusations against Queen Jin De, a far cry from their usual submissive manner.
Only Houtu and Xuanming were resting with their eyes closed, and did not participate.
Houtu had always been vying with Nuwa for the Earthly Sovereign Dao Fruit, and had not been very interested in the Human Sovereign Dao Fruit.
As for Xuanming, he has always followed Houtu's lead. Since Houtu is not going to get involved in these messy affairs, she is also prepared to learn to stand by and watch...
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Gonggong and Zhurong are not only without any fault, but are actually meritorious subjects of our human race. Your Majesty's decision to punish them for this is perhaps making a mountain out of a molehill."
"This is far more than making a mountain out of a molehill! It's clearly an act of injustice, how can we be convinced by this!"
"It's not just us. If the entire human race finds out about this, what will they think? His Majesty will be in a very difficult position then!"
"..."
As they continued their exchange, Dijiang and the others no longer concealed their dissatisfaction, their words filled with questioning intent.
Empress Jinde could no longer bear to listen. Enraged, she laughed and stood up on the jade steps, looking down coldly at Dijiang, Gonggong, and the others.
"Heh... I see now. It seems you've come here to start a rebellion!"
Gonggong said nonchalantly, "What do you mean by rebellion? That's too offensive. We just want Your Majesty to temporarily step down from the throne and go back to recuperate for a while."
Dijiang also stepped forward and said, "Yes! Please, Your Majesty, hand over the Kongtong Seal so that we may keep it for a while."
Qiang Liang and others echoed his sentiments once again, and the situation on the field seemed extremely unfavorable to Queen Jin Detian.
At this moment, a senior human elder finally stepped forward, pointed at Dijiang and the others, and shouted: "This is a coup! This is rebellion! It is truly unforgivable, and you deserve to die!"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang smiled contemptuously, "Fengyang, you should be considered an elder of our human race, and you have made many contributions to our human race in the past."
But I never imagined I would stoop so low, becoming a mere echo of this tyrannical ruler. How pathetic and lamentable!
At this point, he suddenly clapped his hands, and a group of people rushed in from outside the hall. They were all experts he had brought from the tribe.
"Elder Fengyang is a little confused because he is too tired from worrying about the affairs of our human race. Why don't you ask him to go and rest!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
The crowd agreed and quickly surrounded Feng Yang.
Feng Yang's expression immediately changed drastically, and he shouted in a panic, "How dare you! Do you dare to make a move in the Emperor's Palace?"
"Elder! Please don't make things difficult for us!"
Just as everyone was about to surround him, Feng Yang suddenly roared, took out a precious lamp, blew on the flame, and a ball of Samadhi True Fire burned towards everyone.
This forced everyone to retreat continuously.
Zhu Rong chuckled upon seeing this, "You actually dare to play with fire in front of me? It seems you're really getting senile."
Having said that, he swept his sleeve and immediately put away the ball of true fire. He raised his hand and pointed, and a stream of primordial spirit fire flew out from his fingertip, transforming into a fire snake that circled around Feng Yang.
It was just a fleeting moment!
Before Feng Yang could even let out a scream, he was reduced to ashes. The lamp-shaped spiritual treasure, under the burning of the spiritual fire, let out a mournful cry and turned into a piece of scrap metal that fell to the ground...
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
Those elders had always been high and mighty among the human race, and they never expected that one day someone would actually dare to kill them, especially in this solemn and majestic Emperor's Palace.
Empress Jin De, standing on the jade steps, sneered upon seeing this.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"It seems that some people think I've become weak and easily bullied because I haven't taken action for a long time! Since you dared to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel today, and even started a massacre in the Emperor's Palace, I cannot spare you even if I am merciful!"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, and the Emperor's treasure, the Kongtong Seal, flew out of his sleeve, transforming into a streak of light that flashed and arrived in front of Zhu Rong.
This Kongtong Seal is a treasure used to suppress the destiny of the human race, and in the darkness, it has a great suppressive power over the human race.
Even though Zhu Rong was the leader of a clan, he could not escape the restraint of the Kongtong Seal.
With a loud crack, Zhu Rong was sent flying by the Kongtong Seal, and for a moment, he was powerless to resist.
Upon seeing this, Di Jiang immediately shouted, "Now that we've already started, we must destroy her Human Emperor Dao Fruit today! Fellow Daoists, let's attack together!"
Upon hearing this, Gonggong and the others did not waste any words and unleashed their magical treasures and powers, attacking Jin De Tianhou.
Houtu and Xuanming, unwilling to get involved, decided to remain neutral and quietly withdrew from the Human Emperor's Palace. The remaining elders, seeing this, also made way for them.
Hu Le naturally wouldn't let Empress Jinde fight alone, and shouted loudly, "Master's wife! I'll lend you a hand!"
He immediately unleashed the Dragon and Tiger Ruyi Scissors...
