Chapter 748: Chapter 748

Bai Jin paused in his motion and looked up towards the outside, muttering to himself, "The Ming He Sect Master has come!" He fastened the needle onto the Cloud Brocade, stood up, and walked outside, his blue robe transforming into an Emperor’s Robe as he walked.

Upon stepping out of the Bird’s Nest, Bai Jin saw Gold Star Taibai rapidly approaching on a cloud, waving his hands and calling out anxiously, "Emperor, Emperor, it’s not good, the Ming He Sect Master is coming to kill!"

Bai Jin’s face was calm as he flicked his sleeve and said, "Let’s go to the Palace of the Polestar!"

Inside the Palace of the Polestar, the Jade Emperor sat highly on the Nine Dragon Imperial Throne, with literary and martial Heavenly Gods and Star Lords standing to his left and right.

The Ming He Sect Master sat upright on the Blood Lotus, with Princess Iron Fan and Red Boy standing behind him. Red Boy was curiously looking around, his head held high and chest puffed out self-assuredly.

Amongst the assembled gods, the Law Enforcement Team also stood in full presence, and the atmosphere within the great hall was especially heavy.

An imposing voice of the Jade Emperor arose, "Ming He Sect Master, why have you left the delights of the Blood Sea to come to our Heavenly Court? What guidance do you wish to impart?"

The Ming He Sect Master spoke, "I have no interest in imparting guidance to you. I’m here simply because I heard that your Heavenly Court has captured the Bull Demon King of Cuiyun Mountain, and I’ve come to demand his release!"

The Jade Emperor glanced towards the Law Enforcement Team.

Vice-Captain Zhao Gongming of the Law Enforcement Team stepped forward and said gravely, "Sect Master, the Bull Demon King was personally ordered to be captured by Emperor Gouchen himself, and cannot be released."

Princess Iron Fan couldn’t help but angrily retort, "Your Heavenly Court is truly presumptuous. My husband and I have committed no evil deeds on Cuiyun Mountain. On the contrary, we have protected all living creatures there. We have not violated any Heavenly Rules. What right do you have to capture my husband and to torture him so severely?"

Red Boy also angrily exclaimed, "Yeah! What right do you have to arrest my father king!?"

"Because he has violated the rules of the Jie Sect," a grand voice came from outside.

Treading heavily, Bai Jin walked into the Palace of the Polestar with the stride of a dragon and the stance of a tiger, followed by Taibai.

All the Heavenly Gods in the grand hall respectfully bent their waists and saluted in unison, "We pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven, Taiji Emperor, Emperor Gouchen!" The grand voice echoed within the Palace of the Polestar.

Bai Jin’s figure flashed, appearing before Emperor Gouchen’s Divine Position, and turned to face the Ming He Sect Master squarely.

The Ming He Sect Master said with deep gravity, "Emperor Gouchen!"

Bai Jin also spoke with equal gravity, "Ming He Sect Master!" Chapters fırst released on novel•fire.net

The two looked at each other, where their gazes met, space twisted, Laws crumbled, invisible Primordial Spirit pressure swept around, creating an intangible whirlwind within the Palace of the Polestar. All the gods cried out in alarm, stumbling and falling to the ground, leaving the grand hall in disarray. Even the Jade Emperor found it hard to sit stably on his throne, struggling to hold onto the nine dragons armrest.

Boom~ a muffled sound erupted within the Palace of the Polestar, like silent thunder, the twisted space returned to normal, and the massive Primordial Spirit pressure dissipated instantly. All the gods scrambled up from the ground, their hearts filled with shock, he was indeed too powerful.

Bai Jin turned to face the main seat, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and steadied himself on the throne, calmly stating, "I am fine, continue!"

The grand voice of the Ming He Sect Master resounded within the Palace of the Polestar, "The Three Realms Emperor, Emperor Gouchen, the Primordial Money God, indeed well-deserved reputation as the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team."

Bai Jin turned to look at the Ming He Sect Master, his aura not falling short in the slightest, and said, "It’s incomparable to the renown you hold throughout the Three Realms, Sect Master."

Everyone in the Palace of the Polestar was in awe as they looked at Bai Jin and then at the Ming He Sect Master sitting atop the Blood Lotus. Could it be that the Emperor has achieved the highest strength capable of facing off against the Ming He Sect Master? Their hearts were far from calm.

Princess Iron Fan was also tumultuously overwhelmed, her heart a sea of churning blood, struck with astonishment. She knew all too well the strength of her own father - unfazed by anyone beneath the Saints - yet now he was clashing head to head with Emperor Gouchen of the Heavenly Court, fighting to an impasse.

The Ming He Sect Master spoke gravely, "Emperor, hand the Bull Demon King over to me, and I shall depart immediately."

Bai Jin, standing upon the higher steps, faced the assembly of All Gods below with the bearing of an emperor and a slight smile. "Kui Niu has violated our sect’s laws, and must be sentenced to complete annihilation of his Divine Soul. He cannot be returned to the Sect Hierarch."

Princess Iron Fan cried out in alarm, "No!"

Red Boy, too, was gripped by great fear and hastily called out, "Grandfather, they want to kill my father; quickly save him and dispatch the Asura Clan to annihilate their Heavenly Court."

The Ming He Sect Master, looking sternly at Bai Jin, boomed throughout the Palace of the Polestar, "If the Emperor insists on killing the Bull Demon King, then a confrontation seems inevitable, though I have no confidence in defeating the Emperor."

"I, too, lack confidence in defeating the Sect Hierarch. Perhaps it would be best for the Hierarch to withdraw?"

"Haha~" The Ming He Sect Master laughed heartily, exclaiming, "No matter how disappointing the Bull Demon King may be, he is the husband chosen by my daughter; how can I allow you to utterly destroy him?"

"Sect Hierarch is mistaken. Kui Niu was first my Jie Sect Disciple, and then your Blood Sea son-in-law."

"The Jie Sect has already perished."

"As long as I am here, the Jie Sect persists."

Unable to contain herself, Princess Iron Fan inquired, "Emperor, what exactly is Kui Niu’s crime? To warrant such relentless pursuit by the Heavenly Court?"

Bai Jin answered solemnly, "Kui Niu is guilty of three crimes:

Firstly, as a Sect Hierarch’s mount who lingered in the mortal world for eons without returning, he committed the sin of desertion, deserving a punishment of ten thousand beatings.

Secondly, as a Sect Hierarch’s mount who engaged in a marital affair without reporting to the sect, he shall endure the lightning and fire punishment.

Thirdly, as a mount for a Saint, he should have upheld the Saint’s will and strictly disciplined himself. Instead, he played the demon in the Lower Realm and even abandoned his wife and child, lacking moral integrity, thus deserving the sentence of complete annihilation of the Divine Soul."

Princess Iron Fan was stunned - it had not occurred to her that Kui Niu was also a Saint’s mount. Filled with frustration at his lack of self-discipline, she thought if he died, he only had himself to blame.

Bai Jin waved his hand, "Bring the Bull Demon King forward!"

Clang, clang, clang~ The sound of metal rang out as Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing escorted the Bull Demon King into the Palace of the Polestar.

At this moment, the Bull Demon King was covered in wounds, his hair disheveled, his clothes tattered, and his Pipa Bone pierced by chains, locking away his Cultivation.

Thump~ The Bull Demon King knelt half in the hall, head bowed, weak and listless.

Princess Iron Fan cried out, "Great Bull!"

Red Boy also mournfully called out, "Father!" and instinctively rushed downward.

The Ming He Sect Master saw this and felt satisfied within. Bai Jin was not just talking—he really did punish him severely. My heart is greatly comforted! With a thought, Red Boy was instantly immobilized on the spot.

The Ming He Sect Master’s sharp and vast aura surged, rumbling~ The entire Heavenly Court outside was enveloped in a blood hue, the White Cloud transformed into Blood Cloud, swirling together to form a vast vortex channel. Through the vortex, one could see the Blood Sea Infinite, where countless members of the Asura Clan stood atop the Blood Sea, armed with weapons and Magic Treasures, their intent to kill reaching straight to the Heavenly Court.

Bai Jin immediately grew solemn and exclaimed, "Divine General!"

Wuzhiqi, clad in Divine Armor, stepped forward and saluted, "Your subordinate is here!"

"Convey my order, rally the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, prepare for battle!"
