Su Jing is accused of harboring ill intentions towards the Emperor after rejecting his advances and purchasing a poison pill. Despite her claims of innocence and a cryptic remark about feeding the pill to dogs, Tan Guangjun threatens her with severe punishment. Just as he prepares to strike, a mysterious figure intervenes, silencing Tan Guangjun and revealing himself.

Fang You, who had clearly seen the person’s looks and appearance, also took a deep breath sharply.

He thought to himself, what’s this little ancestor jumping out at such a time to stir up trouble!

Is he really unafraid of causing a big mess?

Beneath the eyes of everyone, the dignified Divine Envoy was openly smothered and restrained like a criminal, with words full of mockery.

Tan Guangjun’s eyes flashed with anger and fury, teeth clenched, expression twisted.

The numerous intricate runes on the staff in his hand flickered intensely, the fire light surged with a dragon and serpent momentum, a tumultuous and extreme aura erupted, causing the entire Wanggui Building to sway precariously.

The glazed Treasure Beads shattered into dust under that terrifying aura, and the intangible Array Light within the building also trembled and scattered into sparkling blooms.

What’s contained within such a small staff?

Not just the might of the Heavenly God?

It’s also the divine power of judgement bestowed by the Emperor standing nonchalantly at the top of Wanggui Building, Golden Immortal Feng Xu.

Moreover, under that vast and dreadful aura, the Golden Seal on his forehead flickered unstably, and a deep heavy dread could be seen in his eyes.

He sneered inwardly.

This boy relies on the backing of the Central Netherworld Empress and thus disregards all the heavenly immortals.

Even though Tan Guangjun’s immortal grade isn’t high, as long as he holds the Judgement Scepter, even a Golden Immortal has to bow with respect.

The Judgement Scepter, transformed from a piece of Emperor Bone, has an extremely terrifying suppressive effect on all the gods and buddhas.

Once Tan Guangjun is provoked and angered, the Judgement Scepter will surely lose control, its power will rampage like a natural disaster.

Today, not only would Wanggui Building be in jeopardy, but most of the people in Shifang City might perish.

The surrounding mountains would be flattened into a Death Realm under the wrath of divine judgement.

This boy thinks he’s standing up for Taixuan Sect, but that’s not the case.

The consequences of today’s turmoil might become uncontrollable afterward.

It’s also good this way, after this boy’s death, those Six Divine Talismans will naturally become ownerless artifacts.

However, this Judgement Scepter can crush Immortal Bone, even he must be extremely cautious.

Being physically present, he might need to escape deep into the seaways thousands of miles away to avoid an unforeseen disaster.

Thoughts racing through Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s mind, he made a concealed gesture, ready to escape far away.

"Boom!" A loud noise.

Suddenly, there was a huge shock from downstairs, the surging dragon snake fire light seemed to be crushed by a giant ethereal hand, extinguished and fragmented, and the supreme aura that spread with a mountain and sea momentum also seemed to be a fire extinguished by a torrential rain, returning to calm.

Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s hand stopped in disbelief, looking at the floor below.

The hand that covered Tan Guangjun’s mouth and nose somehow released, passed through his shoulder, falling on the scepter he held without any smoke or trace.

And the scepter before Tan Guangjun was already halfway embedded into the ground under that hand, the burning gemstone becoming cold and dead, unable to emit the slightest radiance.

And the imprisoning light around Su Jing had already vanished, its Spiritual Radiance dispersed.

His body forced to lean forward, eyes wildly expanding and trembling, heart jumping in shock!

The mortal behind him... had effortlessly suppressed the scepter bestowed by Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan!

Tan Guangjun could already speak, but his throat, due to shock, couldn’t produce any sound.

He watched as the hand slowly left the scepter, then lightly patted his shoulder, a voice came from behind:

"Could Tan Guangjun now properly execute the authority of judgement?"

Tan Guangjun was chilled to the bone, forcefully pulling out the scepter, spinning around to stare at Baili An’s face fiercely, asking sharply:

"Even though I don’t know what bizarre means you’ve used to suppress the Judgement Scepter!

But let me tell you, today’s crime of poisoning the Emperor, no one can shield!"

Baili An smiled softly: "As a mere mortal, I naturally cannot shield such heinous criminals.

But Tan Guangjun genuinely misunderstands, the one who poisoned, wasn’t Senior Sister Su Jing."

"You call her Senior Sister?" Tan Guangjun’s eyes cold: "Who exactly are you?"

Baili An nodded: "Disciple of Taixuan Sect, Ji Xinnian."

Tan Guangjun sneered: "Being a Taixuan disciple, from the same school as Su Jing, you would naturally shield her, your explanation lacks persuasion!

No matter how eloquently you speak, how do you explain the disappearance of the Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Gashes Pill from your Senior Sister’s hand?!"

Baili An said: "It’s not disappeared, it was consumed."

Tan Guangjun felt like he was thoroughly fooled again, "Nonsense! Everyone knows, that Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Gashes Pill was meant for the Emperor."

Baili An smiled faintly, "When did I say that the Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Gashes Pill from Senior Sister was consumed by the Emperor?"

Tan Guangjun snorted: "Unless someone else consumed it!"

"Indeed." Baili An raised his eyelids, "The Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Gashes Pill from Senior Sister Su Jing was consumed by me."

Su Jing abruptly raised her head, looking afar at Baili An, emotions darkly churning within her.

Tan Guangjun was first stunned, then furious: "Such utter nonsense! Ridiculous claim! You spare no effort to exonerate your Senior Sister.

Even Fang You, thick-skinned as he was, couldn’t listen anymore, his face embarrassed and said:

"Young Master Ji may not fully understand this Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Gashes Pill, this pill is used for punishment.

After consuming this pill, day and night for a month, one would suffer the heart-piercing pain of a thousand cuts.

Yet on the outside, it shows no trace, the immense pain this pill brings, is not something an ordinary person can endure.
