Chapter 1103: Chapter 690: Qingluan’s Three Questions, Where Does Justice Come From (Too late, tomorrow’s release will be early)_2

"Let’s go!"

Zi Yang, unusually, walked in front of the East Dragon King, whose father was now reduced to just a head, how could he let this elder suffer for the younger generation anymore?

"Even in death, we must discern the reasoning!"

He held a petition stamped with the Four Hong Seals, each character representing the resentment and dissatisfaction of countless beings of Hongze.

Based on Shi Ren’s last command to purge Hongze alone, how could he be worthy of the title Immortal? Is not rebellion justified?

Outside the grand hall, the cultivators from Hongze eagerly awaited.

At the very front were the Treasure Flower Sect Master and Fairy Bao Hua.

The old woman and the young girl stared vacantly at the people emerging, yet they never saw the one they each held dear in their hearts.

Xuan Qing had not returned; Shen Yi was absent.

The fallen Heavenly Pride had found new life, and the Master of Hongze, perhaps, had more pressing matters to attend to.

After all, Hongze was merely an insignificant scenery in their path, and they themselves were but inconspicuous flowers and grass within that scenery.

The cultivators seemed to understand the scene before them; their disappointment was fleeting, soon adjusting their emotions as they gazed solemnly toward the north, the direction of Northern Hong.

What of the Immortal Court? It could not erode the innate human instinct to survive.

Hongze is innocent!

Under Zi Yang’s leadership, a massive crowd wielding Magic Treasures soared from the waters into the sky, sweeping towards the north!

...

Northern Hong, the Immortal Residence.

Vast numbers of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals surrounded the area in mid-air, all clad in bright armor and wielding long spears.

Inside the palace, two people sat composed, and two stood upright.

Even just as an observer, Qi Feng Star Constellation boldly occupied the chief seat, while Qingluan, the actual leader, sat beside him.

Hong Jing stood just behind Qingluan with Qinghua standing in the center of the hall.

"What a dense murderous aura."

Hong Jing looked out from the hall, his face covered in frost.

Having been in Hongze for many days, he was of course aware of Shi Ren’s disappearance.

Parents of Hongze, an Earth Immortal Official, to vanish without a trace, absurd!

Moreover, this man had ties with him, barely a nephew, how could he not be furious?

Add to that the heavy murderous aura and stench, it’s evident the horrifying atrocities committed here.

Shocking!

A bunch of mortals daring to hide such inhuman acts from the Immortal Court.

Had it not been for Lord Qingluan’s refusal to let it go, these beasts would have indeed kept it hidden.

Daring to kill even an Immortal Official, is there anything they wouldn’t dare to do?!

"..."

Qi Feng closed his eyes to meditate.

Before coming here, even he hadn’t expected to witness such a scene.

Until the matter is clear, as a True God of the Immortal Court, he won’t intervene.

Qingluan, however, seemed to have anticipated this, still maintaining her composure.

She even had the mind to ask another question.

"Qian Qing, since ascending to heaven, no one has ever inquired about your background, given you’re a Merit Immortal recognized by heaven and earth. But now, this General has a question."

Qingluan slowly raised her gaze toward the Golden Body Dharma Identity in front of her: "Where did you come from?"

Upon hearing this, Qinghua solemnly bowed, and after a long silence, she faintly said: "I come from Hongze."

At this point in the situation, there’s no sense in hiding anymore.

Hearing the word ’Hongze,’ Qingluan withdrew her gaze, a trace of faint sarcasm gradually appearing on her face: "Still nurtured by flesh and blood, huh? From a place as hellish as Purgatory, to produce such merit, you have done well."

"..."

Qinghua remained unaffected by the sarcasm; she merely lowered her palms and turned to look outside the hall.

The vast sky filled with cultivators was now approaching the guarded perimeter of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

"Let them in," she commanded with a slight raise of her hand.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals hesitated a bit; obviously, although General Qian Qing was the chief, it was clear she was the one being investigated.

You Yunshan’s expression was solemn, he gave a signal, and the five hundred soldiers he commanded quietly dispersed, forcefully pushing away their colleagues beside them, thereby clearing a path.

"Many thanks, Immortal General."

Zi Yang softly expressed his gratitude.

"No need for courtesy, just remember to explain everything thoroughly, do not mislead yourself, nor mislead others."

You Yunshan sighed; he didn’t believe that General Qian Qing could be a conniving villain. Now, the only ones who could save him were these mundane people before him.

Zi Yang nodded and then, with the highest-cultivated individuals, strode into the Immortal Residence.

"Hongze Dragon Demon, Divine Dynasty Rainmaking Envoy Zi Yang, greeting all the Immortals!"

He knelt on the ground with a thud, hands holding high the statement paper, his voice firm.

With Ninth Grade Cultivation, maintaining composure in front of at least Fifth Grade Immortal Officials, sufficiently demonstrated his growth during this period.

Qingluan remained seated, merely looking calmly at these mortal demon cultivators. After a moment, he softly said: "You’ve had quite some time, say what you need to say, just speak directly."

Under the watchful eyes of countless beings from Hongze.

Zi Yang looked back at his father and took a deep breath: "The matters concerning Little Demons are all recorded in this statement, I hope the Immortality will review it!"

Qinghua quickly stepped forward, took the statement, and silently presented it on Qingluan’s table.

"Hongze Immortal Official Shi Ren, greedy for pleasure, brutal and unkind, delegated authority to malicious demons, for personal gain, triggering sheer chaos in his territory, stirring up a hundred-thousand-year massacre, during which countless innocents perished..."

Zi Yang, although kneeling, grew increasingly louder.

"Later, he even personally issued an extermination order, treating human lives as weeds, commissioned Northern Hong Cultivators and demons as leaders, intending to massacre all sects just to assert his immortal authority!"

Hearing these indignant words, Qi Feng Star Constellation slowly opened his eyes.

Hong Jing was enraged: "Bullshit!"

The person discussed, was no Immortal Official, he sounded more like a devil.

Qingluan’s gaze was serene; he pressed his hand to restrain Hong Jing’s outburst, sweeping his eyes over everyone below: "Understood, I will send someone to investigate this matter. If true, it will be severely punished according to Heavenly Law, without impunity."

Upon these words.

Joy appeared on the faces of Zi Yang and the others behind him.

But before they could praise the fairness of the Immortal General, everyone’s expression drastically changed.

Only to hear Qingluan’s tone shift, he indifferently said: "But now, I am asking about your matters."

"We..." Zi Yang looked confused.

"Where is this Immortal Official now?" Qingluan slowly stood up.

"He... he’s utterly inexcusable..." Zi Yang said somewhat dazedly.

"I repeat again, I already know that, his case will be handled according to Heavenly Law, and justice will be given to you, but now, I’m asking where he is?"

Qingluan walked down the steps, slowly approaching Zi Yang.

A Fourth Grade Immortal General, just the aura emanating from him, was enough to shake the souls of these mortal demon cultivators, nearly suffocating.

Seeing this, Qi Feng Star Constellation unconsciously frowned.

"Quickly confess the truth, even a single lie and I will personally escort you to the Demon-slaying Platform!" Hong Jing exhaled and swept over them with a sinister look.

Just then, Qinghua silently stepped forward, positioning herself between the people of Hongze and the Qingluan Immortal General.

She seriously bowed in greeting: "Initially, when I was graced by heaven and earth with merits, right before ascending to report my duties, Shi Ren forcibly intercepted me, abducted me to this palace, bound me with immortal techniques, and forcibly seized my merits."

A simple declaration, yet it made Qi Feng suddenly stand up.

As a True God, an incarnation of cosmic order, how could he tolerate such acts.

Hong Jing’s face also turned pale.

Knowing that Shi Ren was from his own lineage, if he truly committed these acts, it might even implicate their sect.

It’s one thing for someone else to speak these words, but Qian Qing was a Fifth Grade Immortal General, it’s highly probable it’s not false.

Thinking this, he also dared not speak further, quietly retreating back.

"Another crime."

Qingluan looked at this Golden Body Dharma Identity, nodded slightly: "I have noted it, now where is he?"

The same question asked three times, even a fool would sense something amiss.

Zi Yang’s breathing quickened, staring intently at the Fourth Grade Immortal General renowned for justice, after a long time, as if summoning all his courage, eyes reddening, he roared:

"He’s dead!"

"He died!"
