At this moment, the air in the temple seemed to freeze, and the heavy pressure made the immortals breathless.
The Emperor's face was gloomy, his eyes gleaming with anger. "Tianyuan! I've warned you repeatedly not to speak nonsense in front of the Divine Sovereign! How dare you openly disobey me and attempt to sow discord between the Divine Sovereign and the Immortal Lord?"
The Emperor of Heaven felt a deep sense of remorse. If his poor discipline ruined the Divine Lord's plan to ascend to heaven, how could he face Yu Ze?
After all, Yu Ze is the one who has the most ability to become the Emperor of Heaven.
Emperor Tianyuan still tried to argue: "I didn't say anything wrong, I just didn't want you to be deceived..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Ze's eyes flashed cold, and the temperature in the entire hall plummeted. Before Yu Ze could even move, Emperor Tianyuan flew backwards, slamming heavily into the hall pillar.
Blood gushed from his mouth, and his bones cracked with a horrifying sound. The pain penetrated deep into his bones, as if thousands of steel needles were moving through his body, causing him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Yu Ze stood with his hands behind his back, radiating a suffocating pressure. Wherever his cold gaze swept across, the immortals lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
No one expected that the usually gentle Immortal Venerable would be so angry that he wanted to remove the immortal bones of Emperor Tianyuan on the spot and send him down to the mortal world.
At this moment, Emperor Tianyuan was also afraid. He immediately begged for mercy, "Exalted Immortal, please let me go! I won't dare to do it again..."
The Emperor frowned, an anxious look on his face. He raised his hand and grabbed Yu Ze's arm, his voice slightly hurried: "It's okay, Yu Ze..."
Yu Ze heard this and stopped. Although Tianyuan's immortal bones were not removed successfully, Emperor Tianyuan had already lost more than a thousand years of cultivation.
The Emperor of Heaven knew that he had to give Yu Ze an explanation for this matter. After some thought, he announced that the immortal status of Emperor Tianyuan would be lowered, and his immortal position would drop from Emperor to Immortal Lord.
When everyone heard the result of this handling, they all looked at Yu Ze with a speculative expression, thinking that Yu Ze would be satisfied.
But Yu Ze spoke coldly, his voice as if coming from the abyss of the underworld, making people shudder: "Add another 2468 soul-stirring whips."
When the immortals heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
Tian Yuan was even more dissatisfied and said, "Immortal Venerable! Although I said something I shouldn't have said, it didn't cause much trouble, did it? Isn't it enough that you destroyed a thousand years of my cultivation?"
The Emperor of Heaven also advised at this moment: "Yu Ze, this...isn't the punishment too severe? 100 lashes is already the limit."
Other immortals also wanted to plead for Tianyuan, saying, "Immortal Lord, if more than 2,000 lashes are struck down, Tianyuan might be crippled."
"Yes, by then Tianyuan's soul might not be there anymore."
Yu Ze listened to everyone around him pleading for Tian Yuan. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the pain in his heart. Finally, he couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Heavy? What about Xie Qi? What's the big deal about Xie Qi enduring 2,468 soul-stirring arrows? I only made him endure the whip! You couldn't even withstand the whip, so what about the arrows that pierced his bone marrow? Why didn't you plead for him?"
Yu Ze said this, looking at Tian Yuan and questioning, "I finally saved this person, but you ignored my words for your own selfish desires?"
When the Emperor of Heaven and the other immortals heard Yu Ze's questioning, they were filled with shame and lowered their heads, not daring to look Yu Ze in the eye. They knew that Yu Ze was right and that Tian Yuan's behavior was indeed excessive.
Tian Yuan also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. His face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He begged for mercy, "Immortal Lord, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"
Yu Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. Fortunately, Xie Qi did not really suspect anything this time, so he only let these people know the danger and did not intend to really destroy Tianyuan's soul.
So Yu Ze said, "Go down and receive 100 lashes of the Soul-Stirring Whip as punishment. If anyone breaks the law next time, it won't be so easy."
Tianyuan: "Yes."
As for Xie Qi, he was sitting bored by the lotus pond in the yard, casually picking up fish food with his slender fingers and throwing them into the water one by one.
He looked up at the door from time to time, obviously waiting for Yu Ze's return.
Suddenly, a breeze blew past his ears. Before Xie Qi could react, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Yu Ze appeared before him without warning, her clothes fluttering and carrying a bit of celestial air. Xie Qi was about to speak when Yu Ze squatted down and threw herself into his arms.
Xie Qi immediately dropped the fish food in his hand and wrapped his arms tightly around the person in his arms. He keenly sensed that Yu Ze was in a bad mood, and his voice was filled with obvious anxiety: "Who bullied you? Was it that Heavenly Emperor?!"
Yu Ze buried his face in Xie Qi's chest and responded sullenly: "No, I just remembered some unhappy things."
Hearing this, Xie Qi deliberately teased him in a light-hearted tone: "Then think about me and whether I am happy or not?" As he said this, he deliberately rubbed the top of Yu Ze's head.
Yu Ze was amused by him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Much better." But there was still a bit of gloom between his brows.
Xie Qi saw through his forced smile, held Yu Ze's face in his hands, and planted several loud kisses on his cheeks: "My dear, don't be sad."
His movements were exaggerated yet gentle, and he deliberately kissed Yu Ze's face until it was wet.
Yu Ze was left in a state of confusion by this sudden intimacy, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. He leaned on Xie Qi's shoulder and whispered, "Let's go back to the human world."
"Okay," Xie Qi responded readily, "I haven't found any opportunities in the fairyland these days anyway. If you want to go back, we can go back."
When they returned to Tianxuan Sect's residence, Xie Qi shouted loudly: "948! We are back!"
