Chapter 972: I Am the Law
"Lin Ru, how did you …."
As soon as Black Dragon finished speaking, Ye Zichen knit his brows in shock. The person standing before him was none other than the Master of the Laws of the Three Realms, Lin Ru.
You should know that the Masters of the Laws transcended all mortal affairs. They were the Law.
They were the shackles that bound the Three Realms, and their only mission was to ensure that the Law wasn't challenged.
They had no right to interfere with anything else.
If they interfered, they'd be overstepping their authority.
Ye Zichen hadn't known before, which was why he'd asked Lin Ru to help them fight the demons. However, after Lin Ru's explanation, he hadn't brought it up again.
Why ….
Why did she want to appear here?
"Hurry up and get out of here. Did you forget what you told me?"
Ye Zichen was worried about Lin Ru's safety, so he lifted her hand away from his chest. He shouted repeatedly, "Let's go!
Take advantage of the fact that your people haven't discovered us yet! Hurry up and leave! "
However, Lin Ru, who he'd pushed away, walked back to him without a word. She frowned and tapped him. Ye Zichen realized that he couldn't move.
Pure spiritual energy flowed from his heart to all the meridians in his body, and his damaged meridians gradually healed under the nourishment of this spiritual energy.
"Lin Ru!"
"Stop yelling! Don't you know how annoyed I am?" Lin Ru looked up and shouted at him, then withdrew her hand from his chest. "Try to circulate your spiritual energy. Your wounds should be more or less healed."
"Lin Ru."
Ye Zichen didn't pay any attention to his own injuries. Instead, he continued to call out his name.
He knew that Lin Ru understood what he wanted to say.
"I can do whatever I want. It's just a lousy Master of the Laws. At most, I'll just give up. I'm used to freedom in the Modern Realm. No one can control me in the Modern Realm, but do you think they can control me here? "
Lin Ru snorted. Ye Zichen couldn't help but knit his brows.
"But this isn't the Modern Realm. Didn't you tell me how serious it is for the Masters of the Laws to interfere? Didn't you say …."
"Enough."
Lin Ru impatiently interrupted Ye Zichen. She pursed her lips, turned around, and spoke with her back to him.
"I know."
"Then why did you …"
"I said I know!" Shouted Lin Ru, her back to Ye Zichen. She was so worked up that Ye Zichen couldn't speak. After a while, she spoke again, this time in a low voice. "There's no way for me to stop now. They already know."
"You …"
Ye Zichen, who sat on the ground, froze. He looked at Lin Ru's back, his lips trembling.
"Then run!"
Lin Ru had previously told him that if the Masters of the Laws rashly interfered, they'd be captured by the organization and punished by divine punishment.
Her so-called divine punishment wasn't as simple as the divine punishment Ye Zichen and the others had to undergo.
He would die!
"How? All things exist within the Laws. As the Master of the Laws, I am bound by the Laws as well. The Laws are everywhere. Even if I run, can I escape from the Laws? "
Lin Ru chuckled without turning her head.
"But it's a good thing that I broke that broken Ruyi Scepter, so it shouldn't be too fast for them to find me."
"What!" Ye Zichen was shocked.
"That's enough. Don't make such a big fuss. Since it's already come to this, I might as well throw caution to the wind. Even if they've already sensed that I broke the Laws, it'll take them some time to catch me. At the very least …. Before that happens, I should try to help you deal with your current predicament. "
As her voice faded, Lin Ru took a step forward.
"Don't think I'm trying to help you. I just don't want to see Susu cry so miserably. I don't want to see her so worried for you. Be nice to Susu, got it? "
Teng.
The tip of Lin Ru's foot lightly touched the ground, stepping on a layer of clouds in the void.
"Lin Ru!"
Bang!
Ye Zichen rose to his feet to stop her, but he slammed into the seal Lin Ru had left behind.
He could only keep hammering the restriction with his fists as he kept roaring inside.
"Come back! Don't do anything rash …."
"Come back!"
Whoosh. Whoosh.
At the same time, the Sacred Beast clan heads landed by Ye Zichen's side. To tell the truth, when they learned that the Master of the Laws had intervened, a spark of hope ignited in their despairing hearts.
In particular, Ye Zichen wasn't injured. This was even better news for them.
"Emperor Ye, thank you for just now."
Xia Hua returned to human form and nodded gratefully at Ye Zichen. If Ye Zichen hadn't intervened, he might still be trapped.
"I never would have guessed Emperor Ye knew the Master of the Laws."
Tu Biyu arched his brows, then his expression darkened. "If the Master of the Laws had intervened earlier, then perhaps Tiger Lightning wouldn't have …."
As he spoke, everyone's expression darkened once more. Meanwhile, Ye Zichen, who'd been trapped by Lin Ru, stared at her back and gnashed his teeth.
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and help Lin Ru. She …. absolutely can't be harmed."
The Sacred Beast clan heads understood Lin Ru's importance. As soon as Ye Zichen finished speaking, they all took to the air and transformed into their true forms.
Ye Zichen stared intently at the sky, his fists clenched.
There was no turning back. In that case, he'd just let Lin Ru continue!
Lin Ru simply stood there quietly, above the clouds, but Black Dragon felt the pressure on him increase dramatically. This was the Master of the Laws! She was above them, an existence who controlled the Laws of all living beings.
"Your Excellency, Master of the Laws, you're breaking the rules."
Even the haughty Black Dragon obediently addressed Lin Ru as "Your Excellency." Gu Li descended as well. His expression was grave as he looked at Lin Ru.
"You're talking about rules with me?" Lin Ru snorted disdainfully. "I'm the Master of the Laws of the Three Realms. Everything in the Three Realms must obey my rules. I've always been the one setting the rules for others. You're actually talking about rules with me? Are you worthy? "
"I naturally know my status is inferior to yours, but ever since the Primordial Era, Masters of the Laws have been forbidden from participating in mortal conflicts. You should know this as well."
"That's right. So what?" Lin Ru's expression was still as disdainful as ever. "Since I'm the Master of the Laws, I make the rules. In the past, there were indeed such rules, but now I feel like there's something wrong with them. I want to change them. Do you have a problem with that? "
"Your Excellency, are you determined to help the Three Realms?"
