Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1629: Chapter 1628: Send Them to the Heavenly Realm

”There’s no need to take anyone away just to find out the whereabouts of the treasure!” Ye Sword Saint said coldly. ”Since I’m here, why don’t I help interrogate them while I kill them?”

The Cloud Emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, ”I made it very clear, this object is a treasure of our Heavenly Court. You’re asking about the news of our Heavenly Court’s treasure in front of so many people, do you intend to leak our Heavenly Court’s secrets? Ye Sword Saint, you keep telling me that the Heavenly Court should abide by the rules. But now, you completely disregard our secrets. Are you abiding by the rules?”

”Heh...” Ye Sword Saint sneered. ”Cloud Emperor, spare me the nonsense. I’m no fool; do you think I don’t know what you’re trying to do? You’re just protecting these people; what’s the point of making so many excuses?”

”Ye Sword Saint, I hope you won’t make such baseless assumptions about others!” the Cloud Emperor said coldly. ”The Heavenly Court’s treasure was lost, of course, we need to find someone to clarify!”

”Then just take a few people with you, why take them all!” Ye Sword Saint responded coldly.

”We don’t know who took it, so naturally, we’re taking everyone!” the Cloud Emperor countered directly.

”What if I don’t let you take them?” Ye Sword Saint also showed true anger, his voice turning much colder.

”So you’re saying you want to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court?” the Cloud Emperor’s voice also turned cold.

”You were the first to interfere in my affairs!” Ye Sword Saint said mercilessly. ”I’m about to become a Law Enforcer, and these people once bullied my daughter. If I become a Law Enforcer, they might take the opportunity to bully her again. For my daughter’s sake, I must kill them and settle everything clearly. You’re taking them away, investigating, and then most of them will be released back — you’re simply protecting them. Or maybe you just want to help them bully my daughter!”

By the end of his speech, Ye Sword Saint’s voice had cooled significantly, and his longsword beside him began to hum. It was evident that Ye Sword Saint was truly enraged and might actually go to war with the Heavenly Court.

The Cloud Emperor’s complexion changed slightly. Besides Ye Sword Saint’s considerable strength, the crucial point was that Ye Sword Saint was a favored person, and even the Heavenly Court couldn’t decide his fate. Now, although the master of the Heavenly Court surpassed Ye Sword Saint in strength and indeed could defeat him, the key issue was that the master dared not do so.

Therefore, in Ye Sword Saint’s case, they always followed the rules. The dean thought they wanted to use rules to suppress Qinghe Academy. In fact, the dean only guessed half-right; the main reason the Heavenly Court acted this way was that a major figure in the Heavenly Realm had their eyes on Ye Sword Saint, considering him a promising talent, intending to send him to the Heavenly Realm without any hurdles!

Now, as Ye Sword Saint openly expressed his intent to kill members of the four major sects, how should the Heavenly Court choose?

The Heavenly Court indeed had the power to stop Ye Sword Saint. But the problem was, if they intervened, how many people would die at Ye Sword Saint’s hands?

The master of the Heavenly Court was present, but the problem was, he couldn’t attack Ye Sword Saint. If he destroyed Ye Sword Saint’s Sword Heart, it would ruin him, and the major figures in the Heavenly Realm would be displeased!

So, in this situation, the Heavenly Court was in a dilemma.

As the Cloud Emperor hesitated, the master of the Heavenly Court standing not far away suddenly spoke.

”Ye Sword Saint, do you know how we intend to punish the people of the four major sects?”

Ye Sword Saint looked at the master of the Heavenly Court and said coldly, ”Unless you kill them all, there’s nothing to talk about!”

”Killing them is, of course, impossible.” The master of the Heavenly Court shook his head. ”These people stole a treasure of our Heavenly Court, which is also a highly significant treasure in the Heavenly Realm. The Heavenly Realm takes this matter extremely seriously, so we cannot judge them. Thus, the Heavenly Realm has ordered us to send all members of the four major sects to the Heavenly Realm for them to be judged!”

”What!?”

The moment the words were spoken, the entire audience gasped, and even figures like Ye Sword Saint and the dean in the air were dumbfounded, their faces full of surprise.

The Heavenly Court, planning to send the members of the four major sects to the Heavenly Realm?

This was indeed peculiar!

If the Heavenly Court intended to protect the members of the four major sects, to have them work for the Heavenly Court, they would surely strive to preserve their lives so they could continue serving the Heavenly Court in the Human World.

However, sending them to the Heavenly Realm was different.

Once sent to the Heavenly Realm, returning would be impossible, given that the Boundary Point was controlled by Qinghe Academy. Moreover, with the instability of the Heavenly Road, traversing it was no easy task.

Under such circumstances, if the four major sects were sent to the Heavenly Realm, it meant they would be wholly unable to assist the Heavenly Court.

If so, what purpose would there be in the Heavenly Court protecting the four major sects?

Ye Sword Saint furrowed his brows, exchanging a glance with the dean in the air, both puzzled by the Heavenly Court’s intentions.

The members of the four major sects were panicked. Their collaboration with the Heavenly Court was primarily to serve as representatives of the Heavenly Realm over the Human World when the Heavenly Realm took control. In this way, they would be below the Heavenly Realm yet above the Human World.

But now, with the Heavenly Court intending to send them to the Heavenly Realm, how could they govern the Human World in the future?

Moreover, the critical question was, what is the Heavenly Realm? It is a place where Land Immortals are as numerous as clouds and experts fill the skies.

The members of the four major sects could flaunt their power over mortals in the Human World, and even stand high above those major families and sects. However, once they went to the Heavenly Realm, what would they be?

If they went to the Heavenly Realm, they certainly wouldn’t maintain their current status. Survival would even be a challenge!

So, after a moment of shock, they all cried out, ”We’re innocent, my lord, we’re innocent! We truly didn’t steal the Heavenly Court’s treasure!”

”My lord, we are loyal to the Heavenly Court, how could we steal Heavenly Court’s treasures?”

”My lord, this must be a misunderstanding. We would never, nor dare to betray the Heavenly Court...”

These people wailed and pleaded, hoping the Heavenly Court would believe them. However, the Heavenly Court’s people couldn’t be bothered to look at them, as if everything had already been decided.
