God Emperor Chapter 2449 - Adjudication Division and Destiny Division

Chapter 2449: Adjudication Division and Destiny Division Translation

Zhuo Yunong charged out from the rolling black clouds and shot toward the ground like a shuttle of light.

Boom

A loud sound rang out.

Apart from the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, all the buildings in the Vastsea Manor had collapsed. The array inscriptions were destroyed, and dust flew everywhere, blocking the sight of the cultivators present.

They had descended to intimidate.

A moment later, the dust dispersed, and Zhuo Yunong appeared below the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

The Vastsea Manor, which had once been as beautiful as a sacred land, was now a scorched wasteland.

Zhuo Yunong was a cultivator of the Nether Clan. His upper body was a human, and his lower body was a centipede. His long hair fell over his shoulders, and his face was handsome. Some creatures looked like a python wrapped around his arms, one green, and one red.

He was a half-human and half centipede.

“Greetings, Lord Judge.”

All the enforcers of the Adjudication Division knelt on one knee.

Outside Vastsea Manor, there were waves of exclamations. “The Divine Judge has come in person.”

“There’s no turning back. Zhang Ruochen is going to die on his own.”

......

...

Huo Xing was in a good mood. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that Zhang Ruochen would die at the hands of the Adjudication Division without our help.”

Ling was not so happy. He shook his head gently and said, “Strange, it’s really strange.”

“How is it strange?” asked Huo Xing.

“It’s been so long, but why haven’t the G.o.ds of the Xue Jue Family appeared? Logically, they can’t give up on Zhang Ruochen,” said Ling.

Huo Xing smiled and said, “Isn’t it simple? The Jadeite Realm was about to open. The G.o.ds of the Xue Jue Family must have returned to the Dominion of the b.l.o.o.d.ysky Clan to discuss and arrange things. I guess the news hasn’t reached the Dominion of the b.l.o.o.d.ysky Clan yet!”

Ling nodded with a solemn face.

No matter what, with the arrival of the Divine Judge, Zhang Ruochen had no chance to turn the tables.

The death of a potential enemy was something to be happy about!

Yan Huangtu, Yan Zhexian, Yan Yu, and the cultivators of the Yanluo Clan gathered on a wide street. Their imposing manner was so strong that outsiders could not get close to them.

Yan Zhexian stared at the Sevenstar Imperial Palace without blinking and said, “How dare the law enforcement judge of the divine domain capture Zhang Ruochen? Does he know what kind of character WarG.o.d Bloodximius has?”

Yan Yu said, “If the Adjudication Division will compromise or do nothing because of a G.o.d, then there is no need for the Adjudication Division to exist! The adjudicator should be ruthless, selfless, and fearless.”

Yan Zhexian said, “Don’t you think the Adjudication Division appeared too quickly this time? They actually arrived at the Vastsea Manor before us.”

Yan Huangtu and Yan Yu looked at each other and smiled.

Yan Huangtu said, “Xian’er, are you worried about Zhang Ruochen?”

Yan Zhexian’s face turned cold and said, “How is that possible? Although Zhang Ruochen is talented, he’s a despicable person who betrayed his position and killed his good friend. Such a person deserves to die.”

“However, there are indeed many suspicious things about today’s incident.”

“Such as?” Yan Yu asked.

Yan Zhexian said, “First, Zhang Ruochen and Xing Qian have no enmity. Why did you kill him?”

“Second, based on Zhang Ruochen’s performance on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, he’s obviously a cunning and wise man. Even if he wanted to deal with Cang Baizi, he wouldn’t leave any traces so that the Adjudication Division could find him.”

“What else?” Yan Yu asked.

Yan Zhexian thought carefully and his eyes lit up, he said, “The most important thing is that if Zhang Ruochen really stole the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and killed Tan Fei, he would immediately escape the Divine Domain of Destiny. How could he go back to Vastsea Manor and wait for the Adjudication Division to catch him? Is someone trying to frame him?”

“Xian’er, you should think more about big things in the future,” Yan Yu said with a satisfied smile.

“But who stole the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin? Why would they frame Zhang Ruochen? Could it be...”

Yan Zhexian pointed her finger in the direction of Ling and Huo Xing.

Yan Yu said, “They do have the motive to frame Zhang Ruochen, but they can’t steal the Divine Crystal and kill Tan Fei.”

Yan Huangtu looked at Yan Zhexian’s abdomen and touched his chin. He said, “Zhang Ruochen will probably die if he is caught in the Adjudication Division. Do you really not care about his life?”

Yan Zhexian recalled everything that had happened and was still full of resentment toward Zhang Ruochen, he said, “Uncle! I know what you want to say. I can raise this child myself. It’s a good thing that the Adjudication Division can really kill Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, with a father like him, the child will be cursed at the moment she’s born. She won’t be able to hold her head up high.”

The fewer people knew about the Madre b.l.o.o.d.y Shadow’s secret, the better.

Even Yan Huangtu and Yan Yu didn’t know the truth yet.

Yan Yu was calm and collected. “Since you don’t care, we’re happy to just sit by and watch.”

...

Luo Shengtian looked at Zhuo Yunong’s tall body and knew that he was a first-cla.s.s figure below divinity. He couldn’t fight him head-on. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I’ll go to the Fortune Palace now.”

Returning to Devala was too far. To save Zhang Ruochen, the Fortune Palace was the closest choice.

WarG.o.d Bloodximius and Amane were both from the Fortune Palace. Even if f.u.kurokuju didn’t interfere in the secular world, he had to think about their involvements, right?

No matter how much f.u.kurokuju disliked Zhang Ruochen, he was engaged to Luo Sha.

How could Luo Shengtian, the royal brother, just sit and watch?

Guye Jing said, “Let’s not talk about that. With your status, you might not be able to meet f.u.kurokuju. Even if you go now, it’s too late! If Zhang Ruochen resisted, Zhuo Yunong could kill him directly. Instead of rus.h.i.+ng to the Fortune Palace, it’s better to persuade Zhang Ruochen to raise his hand and surrender. He should go to the prison of the Adjudication Division first.

“If he goes to the prison of the Adjudication Division, Will he still have a chance to live?”

Luo Shengtian stomped his feet heavily and said, “Is Zhang Ruochen going to die today?”

Guye Jing kept quiet and seemed to be thinking about something.

...

More and more cultivators gathered around the Vastsea Manor. Those who had a grudge against Zhang Ruochen were all happy and thought that he was going to die today.

Some cultivators wanted to take Zhang Ruochen away.

It must be known that the five Divine Crystals of Origin might have been stolen by Zhang Ruochen. Naturally, they couldn’t let him fall into the hands of the Adjudication Division.

They might have dared to kill the Adjudication Division cultivators if they were not in the Divine Domain of Destiny. But who dared to act rashly in the Divine Domain of Destiny?

Yao Qing bowed and said, “My lord, Zhang Ruochen has openly rebelled against the arrest of the Adjudication Division. He treats the Adjudication Division and the Fane of Destiny as nothing. I think he should be killed.”

Zhuo Yunong nodded and looked at the Sevenstar Imperial Palace with his golden eyes.

He saw Zhang Ruochen’s handsome figure standing in the center of the palace gate. He wore red armor and looked like he wanted to fight the Adjudication Division to the end.

It had been many years since he had met such a courageous cultivator.

Zhuo Yunong smiled slightly and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you are the descendant of WarG.o.d Bloodiximius, why don’t you have the demeanor of your ancestor? Do you know the consequences of making an enemy of the Adjudication Division?”

Zhang Ruochen did not show fear because of his cultivation and ident.i.ty. Instead, he smiled and said, “I have never made an enemy of the Adjudication Division. The Adjudication Division wants to kill me. If they want to punish me, why not blame them?”

Outside the Vastsea Manor, someone humphed softly, “How can you still laugh when you’re about to die?”

Zhuo Yunong said, “The Adjudication Division has always been fair. It will never accuse any cultivator wrongly. Now, I give you two choices. First, lower the defense array of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and come with me to the Adjudication Division. We’ll find out what happened and clear your name. Second, I will personally break through the defense of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and take you back to the Adjudication Division.

“I will count to three.

“One!”

Zhang Ruochen was more decisive than everyone expected. He said, “No need to count. If you want to take me to the Adjudication Division, you have to show sufficient evidence. Otherwise, I can’t do it.”

“That’s too arrogant. My lord, please break into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace now. I’m willing to behead Zhang Ruochen myself,” Yao Qing said.

The other enforcers were also angry.

No cultivator had ever dared to look down on the Adjudication Division like that.

Zhuo Yunong was still calm and collected. He said calmly, “Since you want evidence, I’ll give it to you. Bring the witness up!”

A total of seven cultivators walked up to Zhuo Yunong.

One of the cultivators bowed to Zhuo Yunong, then he said, “I was in the prison of the Rakshasas. In Metaform City, I saw a Dimensional Array with a diameter of hundreds of miles appear. It was the spatial power of the Violet Gourd.”

“That’s right. I was nearby and saw the Violet Gourd take in two figures. One of them looked like Cang Baizi,” said the other cultivator.

Zhuo Yunong looked at Zhang Ruochen again at the gate of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you have nothing to say now, do you?”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression did not change. He said, “Yes, I did use the Violet Gourd in Metaform City, but I did not take Xing Qian and Cang Baizi. Besides, with my cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, how could I take them in?”

Zhuo Yunong sensed the divine Destiny Division’s saint guard’s aura. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the saint guards appear on the streets. He knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Save your words until you arrive at the Adjudication Division!” said Zhuo Yunong.

Zhuo Yunong pointed to the sky.

Instantly, a spiral black cloud appeared above the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Dense lightning interweaved within. The destructive power it released made all cultivators in the city tremble.

It was like a G.o.d’s punishment.

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning with a diameter of 30 feet shot out from the black cloud vortex and struck above the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

Huang Tian was like a lion that had awoken. It let out a long roar, “You dare to attack WarG.o.d Bloodximius’s palace? You are courting death.”

The tiles, pillars, walls, and windows of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace were covered in dense patterns. They shot out blinding rays of light that clashed with the lightning pillar that descended from the sky.

The entire imperial palace shook.

Seven-Armed Elder stood in the hall. His expression changed again and again. “You... You’re too bold. How can you fight head-on with the Adjudication Division?”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression was grim. “The cultivation of the Divine Judge is very strong. The Sevenstar Imperial Palace won’t last long. You should hide first.”

“Hide? Where can I hide?” asked Seven-Armed Elder.

Seven-Armed Elder regretted it. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have hidden in Xing Qian’s body. Although he had avoided Bai Qing’er, he had run into Zhang Ruochen, who was courting death.

“The Qiankun Realm,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Seven-Armed Elder asked, “What? Where did you say?”

A Dimensional Gate opened in front of Zhang Ruochen.

He urged, “If you don’t want to be captured by the Adjudication Division, go in quickly.”

Seven-Armed Elder had no other choice but to step into the Dimensional Gate.

The voice of Intergold Tiger came to Zhang Ruochen’s mind from somewhere. “It seems that you can’t stay in the Divine Domain of Destiny anymore. How about I give you a hand and help you escape from here?”

“Something has happened. Let’s wait a little longer,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen also noticed the saint guards of the Destiny Division. Once the Destiny Division intervened, there was still room for maneuver.

Sure enough, the Destiny Division and the Adjudication Division had a dispute, and the two sides quarreled.

“The Destiny Division has to maintain the order of the divine domain. You should hand Zhang Ruochen over to us.”

“Zhang Ruochen killed Xing Qian and captured Cang Baizi. It was a crime against the law of the fane. The Adjudication Division should punish him.”

Marshal Qi Xin and Marshal Zhen were both Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saints. They blocked all the saint guards who came.

Not long after, a conflict broke out between the two sides and a huge fight broke out.

There were no powerhouses in the Destiny Division, so many of them were defeated by Marshal Qi Xin and Marshal Zhen.

Marshal Qi Xin held a battle-ax in his hand and stepped on a Destiny Guard who was in the Supreme Saint Realm. He grinned and said, “Do you think the Destiny Division wants to compete with the Adjudication Division with just you guys? You guys are suitable to stay on the sacred mountain and be the gatekeepers.”

“Haha!”

All the cultivators of the Adjudication Division burst into laughter.

The Adjudication Division and the Destiny Division had been fighting for many years and both of them had deep grudges against each other. When they had the opportunity to suppress and humiliate the other party, they would naturally spare no effort.

“Your Adjudication Division sure has a big mouth.”

A majestic voice exploded from the sky like thunder.

A beam of white light appeared between heaven and earth and blinded all the cultivators for a short while.

BOOM!

Marshal Qi Xin felt a blast of air hit his chest. Instantly, his body flew out like a cannonball and landed under Zhuo Yunong’s body. He was embedded into the ground and his armor was shattered. His entire body was covered in blood.

When everyone regained their vision.

They saw 100,000 saint guards dressed in armor led by Lord Wu Yue and standing in all directions of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.

The armor was bright and the saint might was overwhelming.

Zhuo Yunong stopped attacking and looked at me. He sighed. “Why does the Destiny Division want to get involved in everything? I thought you were in seclusion, Wu Yue.”

“I heard that something big has happened in the divine domain. Of course, I have to come out. Yunong, how about you hand Zhang Ruochen over to me and let the Destiny Division investigate this?” said Lord Wu Yue.

Zhuo Yunong said, “No! Zhang Ruochen has committed a serious crime. He must be punished by the Adjudication Division.”

Lord Wu Yue guessed that Zhuo Yunong would not let him go easily. He said, “It’s not a good idea for our two divisions to fight here. We will only make the cultivators laugh at us. How about this? Zhang Ruochen can choose who he wants to go with.”

Zhuo Yunong shook his head and said sternly, “You’d better not interfere in this matter. I’m doing this for the fane.”

“What a coincidence! I also want to do something for the fane as well.” Lord Wu Yue’s gaze was like lightning as he looked at Zhuo Yunong.

Although the two top powerhouses below divinity didn’t fight, the auras that erupted from their bodies had already collided.

Killing intent and battle intent were brewing. Lightning, wind blades, and flames of death appeared in the air.

The enforcers of the Adjudication Division and the saint guards of the Destiny Division also erupted with saint might. They clashed and made m.u.f.fled thunder-like sounds.

Neither side backed down. A battle was about to break out.

Whoosh

Pan Ruo flew over from afar on a meandering River Styx. She landed not far from Zhuo Yunong and Lord Wu Yue, she said in a clear voice, “The Adjudication Division and the Destiny Division belong to the Fane of Destiny. The two of you are the pillars of the two departments. How long are you going to stand against each other? Why don’t I interrogate Zhang Ruochen myself and you two a.s.sist me?”
