A murderous glint flashed in Gong Mingyue's eyes, his voice as cold as ice: "I would like to ask the Heavenly Lord why he used me to destroy Mount Buzhou back then?"
Hei Xiangling quickly calmed down after hearing Gong Mingyue's words. Could it be that, as he just said, there was a hidden story behind this matter?
The Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes, but glanced at Ye Qingchen out of the corner of his eye, and said, "What are you saying, Gong Ming? You accidentally destroyed Buzhou Mountain back then, and all the gods witnessed it."
Gong Mingyue stared intently at the Heavenly Emperor with his deep eyes. The Heavenly Emperor felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze and spoke.
"Now that you've returned, I will no longer pursue the matter of Mount Buzhou. As for the goddess, I hope you will consider the bigger picture and refrain from harming her further..."
Before the Heavenly Lord could finish speaking, Gong Mingyue interrupted him with a cold laugh: "Harm her?"
"Could it be that the people who harmed her were you, Heavenly Lord, and Lord Night God?"
"What do you say, Night God?"
Gong Mingyue's piercing gaze fell on Ye Qingchen.
All eyes were on Ye Qingchen. Ye Qingchen's face remained calm, but his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists.
"The God-Slaying Sword strips away divine bones and banishes one to the mortal realm... Why did the goddess's soul disperse when she blocked the sword? Heavenly Lord, are you truly unaware, or are you intentionally protecting her...?"
Gong Mingyue's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd. The gods looked at each other and whispered among themselves.
Bailihe and Xianji exchanged a glance. Everyone knew that the God-Slaying Sword only removed divine bones and did not involve the gathering or dispersing of divine souls. Could it be that the God-Slaying Sword was tampered with back then?
Back then, the executioner was Lord Night God, and the goddess was loved by both Lord Night God and Gong Ming. If the goddess hadn't shielded Gong Ming, the God of War, from the sword, then the one whose soul would have been separated would definitely have been Gong Ming!
As the leader of the gods, how could the Heavenly Lord not know this? Without his tacit approval, how could the Night God Lord dare to tamper with the God-Slaying Sword?
Ji Jiuying looked at Ye Qingchen, recalling what he had told her before: that she had been accidentally killed...
Was that mistake, the God-Slaying Sword?
Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes; everything he did was merely an attempt to make up for the mistakes he had made.
Ye Qingchen's gaze fell on her, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Just as he was about to step forward and say something, a voice interrupted him.
"I did indeed tamper with the God-Slaying Sword. Lord Night God and Goddess were a match made in heaven, but Gong Ming interfered. I couldn't stand it, so I secretly placed a soul curse on the God-Slaying Sword."
"Heavenly Lord, Divine Lord, this was all done by me alone. Now that the truth has been revealed, I have nothing to say."
"I hope the Heavenly Lord will consider that the Night God sacrificed his primordial spirit to protect the Goddess's soul, and shielded her from all the tribulations in the mortal realm. Please do not blame him. The Night God Clan is now reduced to only one god; he has already suffered enough..."
Ye Qingchen looked at A Si in disbelief, her lips twitching slightly but she didn't say anything.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor glanced at Ye Qingchen, then at Gong Mingyue, and coughed lightly.
"How dare you, Luo Si, plot against the God of War and the Goddess of the Palace of Darkness! Your crimes are heinous! Guards, cast Lord Luo Si into the cycle of beasts!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen panicked completely and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I beg you to show mercy. Considering that A Si has protected me and the Goddess as she grew up, please be lenient with him. I am willing to be punished along with him."
However, the Heavenly Emperor did not look at him this time: "Can't you hear what I say? Hurry up and throw him into the animal reincarnation realm."
Two divine soldiers appeared on either side of A Si and pulled him away.
Ye Qingchen clenched his fists tightly.
Gong Mingyue always had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Since this is a misunderstanding, everyone should leave."
"Yes, yes, yes, it really is great!"
Gong Mingyue looked at the Heavenly Emperor with a half-smile.
"Since the Heavenly Lord says this is a misunderstanding, why don't we take advantage of the fact that all the gods are here and talk about the matter of Mount Buzhou!"
"Mount Buzhou was destroyed by your hand. Tell me, who in the divine realm doesn't know that? What else is there to say?"
The fairy frowned and said unhappily.
"I acknowledge that Buzhou Mountain was destroyed by my own hand, but... I do not acknowledge that the Kunpeng clan was destroyed because of me." Gong Mingyue said coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"The Kunpeng clan was trapped on Buzhou Mountain, and you destroyed Buzhou Mountain. Not a single Kunpeng survived. All the gods witnessed this. Gong Ming, what else do you have to say?" The Empress, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
Gong Mingyue chuckled, and a fire qilin appeared behind him.
When everyone saw the Fire Qilin in its true form, their eyes widened in surprise. How could this ancient sacred beast, the Fire Qilin, be in the hands of the God of War, Gongming?
Even the Heavenly Emperor's eyes flashed with surprise.
At that moment, the fire qilin transformed into human form.
“Hongyu, tell me what you know.”
"Yes, Master."
"The Kunpeng clan was imprisoned on Buzhou Mountain. The Heavenly Emperor, the Divine Phoenix clan, and the Divine Beasts forced the Kunpeng King to sign a contract. Once the contract was signed, the Kunpeng clan would be forever bound to the Divine Clan and the Divine Beast Clan. The Kunpeng King was naturally unwilling, so the Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to ask the envoys of the Nine Realms to bestow the power of the laws upon the Kunpeng clan."
"However, the Kunpeng clan is very powerful. Under the laws of Heaven, the Heavenly Lord cannot kill the Kunpeng clan, but he is afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble later. So he set up the Heaven and Earth Array to gradually erode the life force of the Kunpeng clan. But the truth cannot be hidden forever. It was at that time that the Night God Lord and the Master agreed to fight. Before the Master accidentally destroyed Buzhou Mountain, the Kunpeng clan inside was already barely surviving."
