Wu Shattered Star River

The matter of Wushan City caused a great uproar!

Those top aristocratic families have very strong intelligence capabilities; basically, all Immortal Kingdoms have both overt and covert channels.

Such a major event naturally spread upwards immediately; in just one day, the entire Heavenly Court and all Immortal Kingdoms were talking about it.

The son of the Lüqiu Yin family led people to the Wushan Immortal Kingdom, captured the Wuyun Kingdom Lord, and also captured the recently prominent Divine Pill Marquis, even taking the Yu family's old master's favorite granddaughter.

However, Immortal Fairy Yinghuo and Immortal King Cangyu took action, severely injuring a Celestial Venerable from the Lüqiu family. Immortal Fairy Yinghuo even personally severed Lüqiu Yin's hands and feet, stepping on him.

Immortal Fairy Yinghuo was not just stepping on Lüqiu Yin, but on the face of the Lüqiu family.

What is the Lüqiu family?

They are an existence that has been in charge of the Heavenly Punishment Palace since the establishment of the Heavenly Court.

The head of the Lüqiu family, the Western Heavenly Emperor, is the Jade Emperor's most loyal dog, tasked with administering the Heavenly Court's punishments.

Over the years, how many powerful individuals and scions of influential families have been mercilessly captured or even executed by the Heavenly Punishment Palace?

The Heavenly Punishment Palace represents supreme Heavenly might, the Western Heavenly Emperor's prestige, and the Jade Emperor's supreme authority.

The reason this matter caused such a sensation is because the one who took action was Immortal Fairy Yinghuo. This only daughter of the Azure Emperor has a very special status, and her congenital illness has also aroused sympathy in many powerful individuals.

After her birth, Immortal Fairy Yinghuo rarely left Yinghuo Star, and no one had ever heard of her taking action.

Now, she not only left Yinghuo Star but also severed Lüqiu Yin's limbs and stepped on him. How could such explosive news not spread quickly?

More importantly…

Lüqiu Yin's trip to the Wushan Immortal Kingdom was registered with the Heavenly Punishment Palace.

In other words, Lüqiu Yin was representing the Heavenly Punishment Palace to investigate a case. Immortal Fairy Yinghuo was not only slapping the Lüqiu family's face but also provoking the Heavenly Punishment Palace's authority and the Jade Emperor's power.

For a time, all the Immortal Kingdoms were in an uproar, and many Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings teleported to the Heavenly Court as quickly as possible, preparing to watch the show.

The Heavenly Court was seething with undercurrents, lively and extraordinary. Two days later, after Lüqiu Yin was publicly carried back to the Heavenly Court, it became even more lively.

Lüqiu Yin could have healed quickly, but he chose not to. He had his subordinates carry him to the Heavenly Court, entered the Southern Heavenly Gate, and was carried all the way to the Heavenly Punishment Palace.

Lüqiu Yin did not choose to swallow his anger because of Immortal Fairy Yinghuo's identity, nor was he afraid of losing face, having people openly carry his crippled body into the Heavenly Court.

He was completely going all out, wanting to make a big deal out of it and have the Jade Emperor severely punish Immortal Fairy Yinghuo.

He was very clear about one thing: being carried into the Heavenly Court was not just a loss of face for him, but also a loss of face for the Jade Emperor.

Immortal Fairy Yinghuo's status was too transcendent. If he didn't go all out, the Jade Emperor would definitely not severely punish her. He would never be able to avenge himself or vent his anger in this lifetime.

Half a day after Lüqiu Yin was carried into the Heavenly Court, a complaint from the Heavenly Punishment Palace was sent to the Hall of Universal Brightness, and at the same time, various rumors began to spread throughout the city.

Most of the rumors said that Immortal Fairy Yinghuo disregarded Heavenly laws, was lawless, relied on her favored status to be arrogant, publicly attacked the Heavenly Punishment Palace's execution envoy, and forcibly took away the suspect that the Heavenly Punishment Palace wanted to capture.

The Heavenly Court is divided into nine Heavens. The lower eight Heavens are inhabited by many ordinary martial artists and contain many cities. Restaurants, eateries, and inns everywhere were discussing and debating one thing!

Can the descendants of top aristocratic families disregard Heavenly laws? Do they have super privileges? Can top young masters and misses be arbitrarily pardoned even if they violate iron laws?

Obviously!

Some super-rich families have begun to stir up public opinion, arousing dissatisfaction among the lower-level populace, which in turn triggers a surge of public sentiment, bringing pressure to bear on the higher-ups and influencing their decisions.

However, in just one day, the tone of the conversation changed again, and countless rumors began to spread throughout the lower eight Heavens.

Some rumors said that Lüqiu Yin was trying to win a beauty's smile by using his position to take revenge, falsely accusing Immortal Lord Wuyun of treason.

It was also said that the Heavenly Punishment Palace was the Lüqiu family's world, and that the Lüqiu family could falsely accuse anyone of treason if they wanted to. Immortal Fairy Yinghuo was just helping when she saw an injustice on the road.

There were also rumors that the Divine Pill Marquis was currently helping Immortal Fairy Yinghuo to treat her illness. Lüqiu Yin's targeting of the Divine Pill Marquis was actually because the Western Heavenly Emperor was unhappy with Consort Rong and wanted to take the opportunity to deal with her…

In addition, Lüqiu Yin's various tyrannical misdeeds were also made public, such as forcibly abducting women on the street, extorting small families, and wantonly slaughtering people in a small Immortal Kingdom. Beating an old man over eight thousand years old, peeping at an old woman over ten thousand years old taking a bath, and so on…

Obviously, the various families of the Azure Emperor's faction have exerted their strength, the purpose of which is naturally to muddy the waters, reduce the impact, control public opinion, and then influence the Jade Emperor's judgment.

Of course, the wealthy families that are contributing here may not necessarily be from the Azure Emperor's faction, but may also be families that are unhappy with the Lüqiu Yin family or have grudges against them.

The Western Heavenly Emperor has been in charge of the Heavenly Punishment Palace for countless years, and the number of powerful individuals and young masters and misses who have died at his hands is countless, so naturally, he has offended many people.

Now that the wealthy families of the Azure Emperor's faction are exerting their strength, the remaining families will naturally follow suit and muddy the waters, jointly smearing and attacking the Lüqiu family.

The Hall of Universal Brightness has been very quiet, without any imperial edicts being issued, allowing public opinion to run rampant throughout the nine Heavens of the Heavenly Court, and public sentiment to surge.

Three days later, the Western Heavenly Emperor led all the officials of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, as well as many officials from the other palaces, to gather outside the Hall of Universal Brightness.

The Western Heavenly Emperor took the lead in kneeling outside the Hall of Universal Brightness, requesting the Jade Emperor to issue an edict to adjudicate the matter of Wushan City.

The Western Heavenly Emperor did not speak too directly, only saying that this matter had a great impact, and that the perpetrator's identity was extraordinary, making it impossible for the Heavenly Punishment Palace to make a judgment. Therefore, he requested the Jade Emperor to issue an edict as soon as possible to adjudicate the matter and quell the impact.

Although the words were very beautifully spoken, the fact that the Western Heavenly Emperor brought all the officials of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, as well as so many officials from the other palaces, was itself an attitude, a form of veiled pressure.

Only an hour after the Western Heavenly Emperor arrived, Consort Rong came. Consort Rong did not come alone, but was followed by five Immortal Emperors. Consort Rong said nothing, only requesting an audience with the Jade Emperor.

The appearance of Consort Rong and the five Immortal Emperors in itself represented a certain attitude; the two sides were at loggerheads.

The Jade Emperor still did not appear, nor did any imperial edicts issue.

As time passed, Immortal Emperors, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Reverends arrived one after another. However, a little more than half stood on the side of the Western Heavenly Emperor, a little more than half stood on the side of Consort Rong, and a little more than half stood alone; they were the neutral faction, and came only to watch the excitement…

A day later, the number of Immortal Emperors outside the Hall of Universal Brightness reached eight, including two of the Ten Directional Heavenly Emperors. However, they were all ranked towards the bottom; none of the top five had appeared.

The number of Immortal Kings reached more than forty, and the number of Immortal Reverends even reached more than two hundred. As for Immortal Lords, they were not qualified to come here.

The gates of the Hall of Universal Brightness finally opened, and an old man with white hair and a white beard walked out, holding a whisk in one hand and a golden imperial edict in the other.

He opened the imperial edict, cast a majestic glance around, and said, "The Jade Emperor has decreed!"

"Shua shua shua!"

Everyone in the field knelt down on one knee to listen to the edict. The white-haired old man spoke at length, and after he finished speaking, both Consort Rong and the Western Heavenly Emperor frowned.

The tone of the Jade Emperor's edict was very stern, vaguely reprimanding both sides, and at the same time, issuing a punishment that was equally severe to both.

Immortal Fairy Yinghuo was confined for three years. Lüqiu Yin and Lüqiu He were ineffective in their duties and were dismissed from their positions as execution envoys, and together with Che Jiaren, were exiled to the Divine-Devil Battlefield, and could not return to the Heavenly Court until they had killed ten Divine Venerables or Devil Venerables.

In addition!

Jiang Han, Immortal Lord Wuyun, and Yu Xi were all punished, and were also exiled to the Divine-Devil Battlefield, and could not return to the Heavenly Court until they had killed ten Divine Venerables or Devil Venerables.
