Chapter 686: Your Fist May Be Big, But Can It Compare to Shen's?
Chapter 686: Your Fist May Be Big, But Can It Compare to Shen's?
Such audacity and aggression, disregarding reason and fairness, is this what they call justice?
Shi Ren has already ordered the slaughter of the beings of Hongze. Is it right for these beings to willingly accept their fate and then hope that some celestial being will come to their aid after a long time, seeking justice for this group of innocents who died tragically?
Ziyang couldn't understand this, and his body trembled slightly.
"Dead."
Qing Luan slightly lowered his gaze, chewing on these two words in his mouth.
After a moment, he lifted the corners of his lips, "In other words, with no witnesses, I can only rely on your family's words?"
"There's more."
Qing Luan lifted his head again, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His voice turned indifferent, "If a celestial official is guilty, there is the Heavenly Law to deal with them. Who gave you the right to take action against a celestial official in private?"
"So, in your opinion, we all deserve to die?" Zixian's lips quivered, and she looked up in a daze.
At this moment, a dragon head appeared suspended behind the siblings.
Dong Longwang, once the most trusted by Xianting, now had dimmed eyes, silently watching Qing Luan, the Immortal General. His voice was hoarse, "We dare not violate the Heavenly Law. This complaint document was prepared by us to accuse Shi Ren, and we went through great hardships to send it to the heavens."
"But..."
Dong Longwang closed his eyes, "This document, which should have been delivered to you, was intercepted by my daughter and sent back to Shi Ren, which led to the subsequent purging of Hongze."
"My daughter's name is Zi Ling."
Upon hearing this name, Qing Luan's eyelids twitched slightly. He pressed his lips and glanced sideways at Dong Longwang.
"Zi Ling was once the Dao companion of Xuanqing, the Tianjiao of Hongze. For the sake of the heavens, she colluded with Shi Ren and framed Xuanqing, which led to the ten-thousand-year Killdoom."
"To cover up this matter, she would never allow this complaint to reach you."
"The complaint returned to Hongze, and the dragon's head was beheaded by Shi Ren, while his soul was captured by Zi Ling."
"We have no way out..."
After Dong Longwang finished speaking, even Hong Jing couldn't help but gasp. That seemingly well-behaved and sensible woman had committed patricide and captured her father's soul, all for her own future, turning her homeland into a land of death.
If she hadn't come from such a small place, with her ruthless nature, she might have already achieved something significant.
"Hmm."
Qing Luan closed his eyes, his throat rolling a few times, and he gently exhaled.
When he opened his eyes again, they had returned to their calm state, "So, where is she now?"
The beings of Hongze fell silent once more.
With Dong Longwang's return, it was obvious where Zi Ling had gone.
"Hmph."
Seeing this, Qing Luan finally scoffed, "You are all kind and pitiful, appearing weak and easily bullied. Whatever you do seems to have a reason, and you are all forced into it."
"But the villains opposite you are all dead."
"The dead cannot argue, so naturally, you can say whatever you want."
"Don't you find this laughable?"
The cold, mocking words echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Qing Luan!" Qifeng Xingxu sternly reprimanded, "When Xianting handles a case, control your emotions."
"Of course."
Qing Luan wiped the smile from his face, his expression turning frosty. Suddenly, he waved his hand, "Since that's the case, let's follow the rules. One thing at a time. The celestial official of Hongze, Zi Ling, and all of you, I will deliver justice to each of you!"
"Surround Hongze, and anyone involved in the attack on the celestial official will not be spared!"
Accompanying the cold words, powerful immortal power instantly swept through the area, with the first victim being Qing Hua, who was closest to Qing Luan.
Boom!
The over ten-zhu tall Jinshen Fa Xiang was instantly suppressed, kneeling on the ground, and even the floor of the entire hall was shattered!
Outside the immortal's residence, countless soldiers in the sky clenched their spears, and with their loud shouts, boundless immortal power enveloped the entire Hongze, causing the beings to tremble!
The might of Xianting was fully displayed at this moment.
Qifeng Xingxu's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously waved his hand to disperse Qing Luan's immortal power, immediately pulling Qing Hua back up.
He angrily said, "What do you mean by one thing at a time? If it's confirmed that this incident did happen, then it's a failure of Xianting's supervision, allowing an evil immortal to wreak havoc on the world. The actions of the common people are understandable, as they are just trying to survive."
"You didn't investigate the case but took action against the mortal realm first. It seems you want to lose your official seal!"
Fortunately, I came along today; otherwise, I wouldn't have known the true face of this so-called Qing Luan Immortal General.
Is this what they call being impartial?
Those two are already dead. How else can they be punished? It's just an excuse to vent your anger.
"As a Zheng Shen, holding a high position, don't forget... Hongze is under Qing Luan's jurisdiction. You are here on a leisure trip, and I am also acting according to the Heavenly Law."
Qing Luan didn't even glance at Qifeng, but instead, he stared silently at the outside of the hall.
Under his gaze, the numerous Celestial Soldiers and Generals shivered, and they immediately took action.
In such an oppressive atmosphere...
Kneeling on the ground, Ziyang's face was expressionless. He wobbled as he stood up, no longer willing to kneel before this person, "You don't even give a damn about reason."
"I only uphold the Heavenly Law, not reason."
Qing Luan gave him a cold glance, as if looking at a corpse.
Upon hearing this, Ziyang slowly curled his lips, revealing a set of straight white teeth, and shook his head, mocking, "Wrong, what you're talking about isn't the Heavenly Law."
The weak little dragon demon seemed to force out a hoarse and sarcastic remark from his throat, "You're talking about brute force. Whoever has the stronger fist has the reason."
Before he could finish...
Qing Luan's face suddenly turned iron-blue. He lowered his eyes, concealing the murderous intent that surged in his pupils.
"Even a wild demon from the mortal realm can see it, Qing Luan. Have some shame," Qifeng Xingshu narrowed his eyes, feeling embarrassed.
At that moment, Qing Luan, with his head lowered, also smiled.
"What else can I do?"
He raised his head, and his gaze slowly swept across every figure in the hall, "I uphold the Heavenly Law, never overstepping my bounds. Who dares to speak of the Heavenly Law to me?"
"My mount, others can kill her at will without any due process, and until now, I haven't even had the chance to be judged."
"Can't my achievements save her life?"
Qing Luan placed his hand on his armor, his expression gradually becoming hideous, "Many years ago, they told me that the Shen Court had rebellious intentions, and a great calamity was about to occur. They asked me to strictly discipline myself, maintain a spotless reputation, and make it easier to handle matters in the future."
"It doesn't matter."
"I've always been a person with no desires or ambitions. Fame, fortune, immortal treasures, and divine pills mean nothing to me."
"But now, I just need someone to pour tea and fetch water, and I can't even keep her alive."
"Even you, the embodiment of heavenly order, can make such absurd excuses. It seems like in this entire world, I'm the only one following the broken Heavenly Law."
"If that's the case..."
Qing Luan abruptly tore off his immortal armor and threw it on the ground like a discarded shoe, a cold smile on his face, "If I'm not using brute force, then what am I using?"
Even Qifeng Xingshu was taken aback by the implications of this simple action.
By removing his immortal armor, the other party was no longer acting on behalf of the Xianting.
He was willing to pay the price with his years of achievements, the cultivation of the immortal sect, and his lifelong reputation...
This was a personal vendetta!
Even Qifeng found this situation quite thorny.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat Qing Luan. Even with the latter's high talent and solid foundation, he was still far inferior to Qifeng, a third-rank God General.
But as the outstanding member of the Three Immortal Sect, if Qing Luan was seeking revenge for a deceased friend, even if he stopped him today, could he stop him for a lifetime?
Boom! In an instant, Qing Luan, a fourth-rank Taiyi Zhenxian, unleashed his power, and the terrifying aura enveloped the entire Hongze.
"If we don't use brute force, then our lifelong cultivation would be meaningless."
He spread out his palm and carefully examined his palm.
Who said he needed the name of an Immortal General to enter the tribulation? Without the immortal seal, he was still the Peak Master of Qing Luan Peak in the Three Immortal Sect!
As his five fingers clenched, the entire mountain range suddenly shattered.
The vast spiritual energy rippled and spread rapidly, causing the Four Hong to rise as if to overturn the rivers and seas, submerging the entire sky.
Qing Hua made a quick decision to protect the crowd and retreated. The fifth-rank immortal seal on her body instantly dimmed and was drained of its power.
"..."
Several purple-bearded white dragons, including the East Dragon King, glared at the figure with indignation and despair.
The strongest cultivators of Hongze were scattered and disorganized.
Under such tremendous power, the masses seemed like a joke.
Until the sky rippled, the clouds and the scorching sun seemed distorted, and the entire world appeared to be crumpled by an invisible giant hand.
A clear voice echoed.
"Since it's like that..."
A youth in black emerged from the distorted sky.
Not a single mistake in his appearance!
He stood between the sun and the moon, his eyes like stars, looking down at Qing Luan below. His expression was as calm as Qing Luan's had been earlier.
"You'd better hope your fist is truly strong enough."
Coincidentally, Shen Yi was not good at arguing and had limited knowledge, unable to comprehend the obscure Heavenly Law.
The only thing he was good at was taking action.
As the sky and the Taixu Realm intertwined, the light of the sun and moon resembled writhing snakes, and the Four Hong calmed down, no longer disturbed by the vast spiritual power.
Everyone looked up at the youth in the black robe, their gazes fixed on his fair face.
With the return of the Master of Hongze, the world would be turned upside down!
"Hehe!"
Qing Luan seemed to have expected this, as this group of mortals couldn't possibly defeat Shi Ren or kill Zi Ling.
Moreover, whenever Qian Qing encountered trouble, this person would always appear in time.
"What should I call you, Shenxu Peak Master Shen Yi? Or the leader of the Hongze Rebel Party?"
"As you wish. If you like, you can even call me father."
Shen Yi was merely standing with his hands hanging by his sides, but in the eyes of the countless Celestial Soldiers, he appeared to be the epitome of arrogance.
They had never seen anyone from the younger generation, whether from the Three Immortal Sects or the Celestial Court, dare to show such disdain towards Qing Luan.
"..."
Qifeng Xingxiu had already spread his five fingers, intending to capture this seemingly insane Qing Luan and take him back to be disciplined by his elders.
How had this disciple been taught? For a demonic dragon, whose evidence had yet to be fully investigated but was most likely not a good thing, he had taken such drastic action.
However, upon seeing this, Qifeng lowered his hand.
The reason was simple.
From the moment Qing Luan removed his Xian Jia and the moment the youth in the ink-colored robe appeared, the nature of the entire situation had changed.
It had become an internal conflict within the Three Immortal Sect!
On one side was the Shenxu Xianmen, and on the other was the Tianwu Xianmen, both prominent branches of the Three Immortal Sect. As long as no innocents were involved, the Celestial Court had no reason to interfere.
"..."
Qing Luan stared at Shen Yi in the sky, his face gradually turning lifeless.
He extended his right palm, and strands of branches and leaves appeared out of thin air, intertwining in his palm and gradually transforming into an eighteen-foot-long spear.
With the Tianwu Dao Guo, the Divine Phoenix dwells, and then a hundred birds flock!
In full view of everyone, he suddenly tightened his grip on the spear, and in that instant, sharp bird cries pierced the sky.
Ang! Qing Luan raised the spear tip, and his figure suddenly soared into the air.
Wherever his gaze fell, between the vast waters of the Four Hong, a green aura rose with him, transforming into countless bird shadows in the sky, boundless and endless. Then, all at once, they flapped their wings!
The power of 2,700 calamities was manifested in this awe-inspiring spear strike! With this Sipin Xian Wu Shen Luan Dao Guo, he forged a formidable reputation in his lifetime of battles!
All the bird shadows soared into the sky, facing the distorted firmament, carrying an overwhelming might, determined to tear it apart.
Even without his Xian Jia, Qing Luan remained the formidable warrior with a renowned reputation.
In contrast, Shen Yi still hadn't made a move until this moment.
Within the crumpled Tian Mu, his sleeves fluttered endlessly, resembling a malevolent immortal in a chaotic world.
"Hiss!"
In the Tai Xu Realm, the latecomer Yelan had just emerged, her pupils constricting as her vision was obscured by countless giant green birds, each exuding a silent aura capable of shattering her soul.
No!
With just this scene, she instantly understood the identity of the attacker.
Tianwu Qing Luan.
Such an immense power of calamity, even among his peers in Shenxu Mountain, could only be rivaled by Jinlei Dao Ren.
Moreover, this person had become a high-ranking Immortal General in the Celestial Court.
Her Master Shen had rushed here to face Qing Luan.
In front of everyone's eyes.
The myriad birds covered everything, submerging all.
As they approached Shen Yi, it was as if an invisible and boundless mirror had appeared between them.
The flying birds collided with it, like flowers in a mirror and moon in the water, disappearing without a trace.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Compared to the astonishment of the onlookers, Qifeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "..."
As the saying goes, outsiders see the excitement, while insiders see the essence.
This Zheng Shen's cultivation far surpassed the two combatants, and he immediately saw through the situation.
One of them was renowned in the world for possessing a high-grade Dao Guo with 2,700 calamities.
Unparalleled among his peers.
But this youth in the ink-colored robe, who dared to reveal himself, was not only on par but even more formidable.
"Tsk, 2,900 calamities."
That old man from Shenxu Mountain had been in seclusion for so long, seemingly unconcerned with competition, but in reality, he had been quietly nurturing this person who could withstand calamities.
Thinking of this, Qifeng rubbed his wrist, losing interest in watching further.
Tianwu and Shenxu, these two old rivals, with their equal cultivation, would fight until they were exhausted without reaching a conclusion.
One aimed to be born of heaven and earth, striving to become the highest and most solid entity, invincible against ten thousand calamities. However, the Tai Xu Dao Guo directly transcended heaven and earth, rendering all power irrelevant.
Conversely, the Shenxu Mountain cultivators also struggled to influence the Tianwu Mountain cultivators, whether within heaven and earth or in the void.
Qifeng was just about to withdraw his gaze, waiting for the two to exhaust themselves and return to their respective mountain gates.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he instinctively looked up.
He saw that along with the disappearance of the countless bird shadows, the ink-robed figure standing with hands hanging also vanished.
The next moment, Qing Luan, who had leaped up with his spear, froze in mid-air.
A pale white palm with a faint golden glow slightly spread its fingers, reaching out from the void and firmly grasping his chin.
Shen Yi's figure appeared and stood at the edge of the sky.
"Is this your so-called fist?"
He slowly raised Qing Luan, casually glanced at him, and in his clear pupils, a furious face was reflected:
"It's a bit funny."
