Everything fell silent. The sword light on the Azure Waves Sea was sharp, illuminating the clouds in the nine heavens, looking resplendent.
Hundreds of thousands of gazes focused on the man in the sword light. He was the strongest person who ruled the Central Great Realm and wielded the Astral River Heavenly Sage Tool, standing above the hundred races.
Following Yang Yunjing's appearance, the surging crowd quieted down.
"Greetings, Lord Sovereign Personage!"
Dong Zhen and the other Astral Palace people quickly bowed.
Yang Yunjing said coldly, "Dong Zhen, you handled this matter inappropriately."
Dong Zhen lowered his head and performed a cupped-fist salute. "Dong Zhen has let Lord Sovereign Personage down. Please punish me."
Yang Yunjing raised his eyes and looked above the cloud sea. Ripples appeared in his eyes as he said slowly, "Lord Shi Yan is right. If there is injustice, injustice, and injustice, there is no way to win over the hearts of the people. There is no way to answer to the world. There is even no way to answer to the seniors who founded the Sky Dome Martial Discourse. This matter cannot be left unresolved. We have to get to the bottom of this. We carry on the will of our seniors, carrying on the past and forging ahead. We absolutely cannot allow anything that violates justice. Otherwise, we will be sinners. "
"Lord Sovereign Personage is wise!"
Excited voices shouted above the cloud sea, "Lord Sovereign Personage is wise and mighty, unparalleled in the world!"
Pan Haixing and the others watched coldly, waiting to see how this Sovereign Personage would deal with the situation.
Shi Yan and Wu Xian exchanged glances, seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Yang Qingxuan also narrowed his eyes slightly. The ripples in his eyes quickly settled, turning clear.
This was because the three of them felt some pressure.
Yang Yunjing's appearance not only stunned everyone with a strong aura and pressure, but it also attracted everyone's attention and thoughts, instantly cutting off the surging anger of the crowd.
Then, Xiao Chen started his speech with Shi Yan's point of view, bringing up fairness, impartiality, and the seniors of the past. Firstly, he followed everyone's thoughts and emotions. Secondly, he stood at the highest point. Furthermore, he was the Sovereign Personage. He immediately became the embodiment of justice, the target of everyone's attention and anticipation.
With this, not only did the Astral Palace's image turn around, but it also took the initiative from being passive, controlling the situation.
Yang Qingxuan knew that he had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful opponent.
Not only did he surpass Gu Yao in terms of strength, but he was also one of the top experts in the world in terms of scheming, thinking, and strategizing.
The more it was like this, the more he needed to remain calm.
Yang Qingxuan kept the Sky Ruins and used the Tai Qing Jade Chant to heal his injuries.
The immense pressure that Yang Yunjing exerted on him ignited his will to press forward courageously and never admit defeat. The stronger the opponent, the stronger he became.
Yang Yunjing happened to look over.
Their eyes met and ripples appeared in each other's eyes. It was as if they had sensed something that transcended time and space.
The soul mark between Yang Qingxuan's eyebrows flashed and disappeared. It was the Taixuan Sword Vault.
Yang Yunjing's eyes flashed with a bright light before he shifted his gaze away. However, his pupils constricted slightly. His eyes were cloudy and his thoughts couldn't be seen clearly.
Yang Yunjing said faintly, "Lord Lei Yang, Lord Lu Yukui, before Lei Yang died, he said that you ordered him to cheat. What do you two say about this?"
Lei Yang sighed, "Lei Yang has always been a selfish and cold person in the Ancient Region. Recently, I found out that he killed his fellow disciples for cultivation resources. His methods were so vicious that it made one's hair stand on end. That's why I came to the Nine Heavens Azure Waves Sea to punish him. However, due to the Firmament Martial Arts Symposium, I couldn't do it. Who would have thought that this brat would be able to perceive my intentions and actually turn around to attack me. Even before his death, he still wants to frame me. His sinister and vicious nature is undoubtedly revealed. He even implicated Brother Yukui, which makes me feel uneasy. In the end, it's because the Ancient Region didn't educate good people that today's incident happened. I, Lei Yang, am willing to accept the punishment. "
Lu Yukui smiled, "It's indeed very strange. I don't even know this person. Did he frame me for no reason, or did he want to make it seem more real and make people think that it's true? Nowadays, even sitting at home can be inexplicably implicated. "
Shi Yan sneered, "The two of you are right. You immediately cast aside the responsibility. Impressive. Dare I ask Master Lei Yang, with Lei Yang's ability, he can't control the Space-Time Lightning Lock, right? Secondly, where did the power that was continuously transmitted through the Space-Time Lightning Lock come from? "
Lei Yang said, "Lei Yang is incomparably cruel. He killed a large number of his fellow disciples, including the other Lei Clan disciples who participated in the Firmament Martial Arts Symposium. This is a scandal of the Lei Clan. I didn't want to spread it, but since it happened, I have to say it. Many of my friends know about the Lei Clan's secret cultivation method. It can extract other people's lightning type treasures and merge them into one's body. Lei Yang used this method to step from the Heaven Realm to the Dao Realm. We can only blame the Ancient Region for discovering it too late, which led to today's disaster. As for where the Space-Time Lightning Lock leads to and whose power it absorbs, I will definitely find out. If Lei Yang has any accomplices, the Ancient Region of Thunder will definitely not let them go! "
Shi Yan's face was a bit ugly. Lei Yang was dead and couldn't testify. It would be very difficult to accuse Lei Yang and Lu Yukui.
Wu Xian said, "Since Brother Lei Yang has always wanted to punish Lei Yang, why did you protect him like this before?"
Lei Yang smiled and said, "Lei Yang killed his fellow disciples. It was just a discovery I made. It wasn't confirmed in the end. Moreover, this is an internal matter of the Ancient Region. It shouldn't be spread outside. In front of outsiders, I naturally have to protect my own disciple. "
Yang Yunjing said, "Master Lei Yang, this matter can't be based on your words. Lei Yang is dead and can't testify. Whatever you say is reasonable."
Yang Qingxuan frowned. Yang Yunjing seemed to be reprimanding Lei Yang and helping Shi Yan, but in fact, he pointed out the crux of the problem. The dead can't testify. He tactfully told everyone that there was no way to investigate.
Lei Yang naturally understood. He said with a wronged face, "Then what should we do? Don't tell me that my Lei Clan has to take the blame for the framing of an unfilial son before his death? "
Yang Yunjing said, "If your Lei Clan didn't do this and took the blame, it's naturally unfair. As the Human Emperor, what I have to do is to enforce the law impartially. "
He looked at Shi Yan and the others and said, "How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Shi Yan and Wu Xian felt helpless. The dead can't testify. No matter what, they couldn't confirm Lei Yang and Lu Yukui's accusations. What's more, Yang Yunjing was in their group.
Yang Yunjing said, "Since everyone feels that this matter is troublesome, why don't we temporarily put it down and continue the competition. After the Firmament Martial Arts Symposium is over, we can work together to investigate this matter. I believe that with everyone's strength, the truth will definitely be revealed. "
After going around in a circle, it was back to square one.
Moreover, on the surface, he helped Shi Yan refute Lei Yang and let Shi Yan express his opinion on how to deal with this matter.
But in reality, he led the topic to "the dead can't testify", leaving Shi Yan helpless and unable to express his opinion.
Since you can't express your opinion, what's the point of making a fuss?
In this way, it was only logical that the conflict would be suppressed and pushed back.
Compared to Dong Zhen forcefully suppressing the conflict and inciting everyone's anger, this method was much more brilliant.
Even above the sea of clouds, most of the people couldn't help but nod their heads. They were more satisfied with the Human Emperor's handling of this matter.
Shi Yan and Wu Xian both had black lines on their forehead. They knew that if this matter was suppressed, it would be even more impossible for there to be an outcome later on.
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded on the ancient battle platform.
Yang Qingxuan said coldly, "Hold on! Isn't the Human Emperor's handling of this matter a little inappropriate? I am the biggest victim of Lei Yang's cheating. Why didn't the Human Emperor ask for my opinion from the start and directly settle this matter? "
