Wu Shattered Star River

A massive ice ship rapidly approached from the south, carrying two elderly figures. These were members of a foreign race, clad in ornate robes, with hands clasped behind their backs, gazes arrogant, and faces filled with anger.

Ye Wanqiu halted and looked south, spotting the two elders.

Seeing the robes they wore, she suddenly understood why the Buddha had guided her to kill ordinary soldiers earlier, and why so many soldiers had subsequently charged at her like moths to a flame.

It was all an act, staged for the benefit of the powerful figures on the ice ship.

These two powerhouses weren't particularly strong, merely two Saint Sovereigns. However, the fact that they wore the regulation robes of Jade White Capital indicated they were clearly powerful officials from White Jade Capital's Bureau of Justice.

In other words, they were Envoys of Inspection!

Previously, Envoys of Inspection occasionally appeared in the Great Thousand Worlds, appearing and disappearing like a divine dragon, these were messengers from White Jade Capital.

Jiang Han had led his army on a path of slaughter, and the Buddha hadn't dispatched troops to intercept them, allowing the army to advance straight into Mount Ling. This was partly because the Great Thunderclap Temple provided enhancements.

But also likely for the scene unfolding now.

To show the Envoys of Inspection the scene of Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu's wholesale slaughter on Mount Ling!

Were these Envoys of Inspection descending by chance? Or was it premeditated?

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu exchanged glances, both pondering the same question.

Ye Wanqiu reflected for a moment and quickly concluded it was the latter. The Buddha must have contacted those above long ago; the messengers from White Jade Capital had arrived long ago, only appearing now.

The appearance of the two Envoys of Inspection didn't particularly concern Ye Wanqiu; they were just two Saint Sovereigns, what could they do to her?

Ye Wanqiu ignored the two Envoys of Inspection. Her murderous intent surged, and she focused her gaze on the Buddha, dark elemental energy gathering in her hand.

She was preparing to unleash her strongest attack, aiming to kill the Buddha with a single blow.

"Ye Wanqiu, you dare to act violently?"

The two Envoys of Inspection were furious. One of them sternly shouted, "We have recorded all your violent actions just now, and we will submit them to the Tribunal for judgment. If you dare to act violently again, I guarantee the Tribunal will issue an immediate kill order against you."

"Heh!"

Jiang Han sneered at this moment, saying, "Isn't White Jade Capital interfering a little too much? We are originally from this Great Thousand World. Why didn't you care when the Myriad Buddhas Hall attacked us? Where were you when the Myriad Buddhas Hall slaughtered billions of cultivators from various races?"

"Only the Myriad Buddhas Hall and the evil races are allowed to kill us, but we are not allowed to kill the Myriad Buddhas Hall and the evil races? Is this the principle of White Jade Capital?"

As Jiang Han spoke, the Azure Emperor, God Lord, Demon Ancestor, and Blood Desolation Race King all tensed up, barely daring to breathe.

For them, White Jade Capital was like the heavens. Now that the angels had descended, were they going to side with the Myriad Buddhas Hall? If they completely leaned towards that side, not only them, but Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu would likely face a great disaster, right?

One of the Envoys of Inspection said, "We handle everything according to the iron laws of White Jade Capital. Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators are not allowed to slaughter wantonly in the lower realms; this is one of the iron laws."

"Ye Wanqiu, surrender now and follow us to the Tribunal, you still have a chance to defend yourself. If you remain stubborn, the Tribunal will issue an immediate kill order against you!"

"Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators can't kill, but I can, right?"

Jiang Han sneered, his body shot out, and he plunged into the ground.

He threw a punch at the Buddha, who at this moment didn't resist at all, only a golden light lit up on his body to block Jiang Han's attack.

"Boom!"

Jiang Han merged four elements, and this punch was extremely powerful, but it couldn't kill the Buddha, only weakening his golden light.

Light flashed continuously in Jiang Han's hand, and he punched again and again. After a dozen punches, the golden light extinguished, and Jiang Han's last punch smashed into the Buddha's head, his head cracking open, on the verge of being killed.

"Uh…"

Everyone was stunned. What was the Buddha doing? Not dodging, not avoiding, not retaliating, just letting Jiang Han attack? Was he wholeheartedly seeking death?

"Jiang Han, stop!"

One of the Envoys of Inspection sternly shouted. Jiang Han's murderous intent surged, and the fist in his hand lit up again, about to smash down.

The other Envoy of Inspection roared, "Jiang Han, the Tathagata is a Garrison Envoy of White Jade Capital, how dare you kill him? You are severing yourself from the Eastern Region!"

Jiang Han's fist was already swinging, and hearing the Envoy of Inspection's words, a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes. The Tathagata was actually a Garrison Envoy? This was the first time he had heard of it.

He hesitated at this moment. Killing a Garrison Envoy of White Jade Capital was a major crime; even City Lord Ding might not be able to protect him then, right?

However…

At this moment, the Buddha actually opened his eyes, blood constantly flowing from his head, his face covered in blood. He met Jiang Han's gaze, his eyes filled with mockery and sarcasm, seemingly silently mocking Jiang Han, laughing that Jiang Han didn't dare to kill him.

Jiang Han was completely enraged, and punched down fiercely. The Buddha's head exploded, and his soul directly dissipated into the heavens and earth…

"Mmm!"

The entire scene suddenly became quiet at this moment. Feeling the Buddha's dissipated remnant soul, many powerhouses were dumbfounded.

The number one existence in the world, an invincible figure, was killed before their very eyes?

And killed in front of the two Envoys of Inspection from White Jade Capital!

Most importantly, the Buddha never resisted from beginning to end, just sitting there and being beaten to death by Jiang Han, punch after punch.

This was too bizarre!

This made many powerhouses feel like they were dreaming, with a sense of unreality…

"Buddha!"

A mournful cry rang out, and Void Treasury and the others all knelt on the ground, wailing loudly. The Buddha was dead, and the faith in their hearts felt like it had collapsed for the most part at this moment.

Countless Myriad Buddhas Hall cultivators all knelt down, and many monks sat down and began chanting scriptures, seemingly starting to pray for the Buddha's soul to rest in peace…

"Good, good, good!"

One of the Envoys of Inspection laughed in extreme anger. He held a crystal stone in his hand, raising it high and saying, "Jiang Han, as the Great Commander of the Heavenly Blade Army, you actually knowingly break the law? I have already informed you that the Tathagata is our White Jade Capital's Garrison Envoy, yet you still dare to kill him?"

"You are going against the entire White Jade Capital, you are knowingly breaking the law, your crime is unforgivable. The process of your crime has been fully recorded, let's see how you can quibble this time!"

Another Envoy of Inspection produced a golden manual. He opened it in his hand and said, "Article 8 of the White Jade Capital Iron Laws, Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators are not allowed to slaughter wantonly within the Great Thousand Worlds, otherwise they will be severely punished. If they resist the Tribunal's enforcement, White Jade Capital can issue a kill order. Article 17 of the White Jade Capital Iron Laws, those who kill White Jade Capital Garrison Envoys will be killed without question!"

"Ye Wanqiu, Jiang Han!"

This Envoy of Inspection put away the golden manual and took out two golden chains, saying, "This seat is an Envoy of Inspection from the Tribunal, and now I will take you back to White Jade Capital to accept the Tribunal's judgment. You all obediently surrender, and if you dare to resist, White Jade Capital will issue a kill order against you!"

"Heh!"

Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu exchanged glances, and they both laughed.

Perhaps the Azure Emperor and the others couldn't understand, but they understood. All of this was planned long ago, right?

The moment they descended, some high-ranking officials in White Jade Capital must have received the news, and then set a trap for them, just waiting for this moment.

The chain of evidence has been prepared!

Now they only have two choices, either surrender and be taken back to White Jade Capital, or resist and escape back to Winterwind Territory's Sky Region City, seeking City Lord Ding's protection.

If City Lord Ding can't protect them, then they can only flee to the ends of the earth, escaping the Eastern Region.

No matter which one it is, for their enemies in White Jade Capital, this is a very good ending.
