Celestial Night Emperor

No one paid any attention to the gloating Luo Qilin.

Because outside Yangliu Town, a terrifying force had appeared.

Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall!

The Black Death Guard of the Celestial Secret and Earthly Supervisor had arrived!

Geshudao, clad in black military attire, stood atop a war chariot. Behind him, the black-robed Black Death Guard looked like demon gods descending to the mortal realm.

“By the personal order of the Grand Leader of Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall! Anyone who dares to touch the Night Emperor will be killed without mercy!”

“Kill without mercy!”

The Black Death Guard behind him roared in unison. SHINK! SHINK! SHINK! They drew their military bayonets as one.

In an instant, a murderous aura filled the air.

Black masks, black battle robes, and black bayonets!

They instantly rushed to the scene, bayonets held horizontally, and surrounded the members of the Disciplinary Action Team.

“Kneel! And listen to the words of our Grand Leader!”

The members of the Battle Department’s Disciplinary Action Team were immediately disarmed, and one by one, they were forced to their knees with their necks held down.

From the back, the Judge shrieked, “This is against the rules!”

CRACK!

A sharp crack echoed from his neck as Geshudao chopped down with the side of his hand. The Judge fell to the ground, stiff as a board.

Geshudao stepped back indifferently, then bowed and opened the door of the war chariot.

Huang Tian emerged, wearing an overcoat and a grim expression.

He walked directly over to the unconscious Judge.

“Heh, isn’t this that fellow from the Divine Doctor Ye Family? I recall he was just a Captain.”

“Reporting to you, sir. It was a temporary promotion to make him a Judge. My subordinates have investigated thoroughly. The Disciplinary Action Team was entirely a temporary assembly, composed of people from either the Qin Family or the Ye Family!”

Huang Tian gave a savage smile. “Have they gotten this brazen?”

He lifted his foot. CRUNCH! The Judge’s legs twitched once, then went still.

“Black Death Guard, hear my command!”

“Your subordinates await!”

“Take everyone from the Disciplinary Action Team into custody. Lock them up! Contact the Imperial Capital Qin Family and Ye Family immediately. If they don’t give me a clear explanation within half an hour, then they can prepare coffins for this band of impostors!”

Huang Tian had just received the latest intelligence.

The force sent to Yangliu Town this time was composed entirely of people from the Qin and Ye Families!

Although they had received temporary promotions, they were, in fact, a hastily assembled group of impostors.

The real Battle Department Disciplinary Action Team had never even been deployed!

‘How could this be allowed?’

Huang Tian had rushed over with the Black Death Guard in an instant and now had complete control of the scene.

In the rear, Luo Qilin was trembling like an idiot.

That Steward Qin also felt his vision go dark, his hands and feet turning cold.

Who could have expected the Imperial Capital’s most mysterious organization, Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall, to suddenly appear?

Not even the Battle Department dared to defy the authority of the Celestial Secret and Earthly Supervisor!

‘What the fuck is going on?’

At this moment, from the Battle Department Prison’s Celestial Punishment Team, the pair of old men suddenly stood up.

“Lord Huang Tian, they may fear you, but we two old bones do not!”

Huang Tian’s brow furrowed.

These two old monsters had always acted alone, giving face to no one.

Just as he was about to speak, Tian Mie and Earth Demon shouted in unison, “The Night Emperor has violated the rules of the Battle Department. He is to come forward and receive the Celestial Punishment!”

Huang Tian took a deep breath, about to give an order.

“Wait!” Qin Tianxuan set Weiwei down and slowly walked over. “I have just one question. After I receive the Celestial Punishment, no one will be able to gossip about my marriage to Weiwei, right?”

Tian Mie and Earth Demon chuckled sinisterly. “Of course! Once you’ve taken the Celestial Punishment, who would dare say anything? Whichever girl you want to marry is your own business. If anyone dares to spout nonsense then, the two of us won’t let them off!”

‘Very well!’

Qin Tianxuan threw off his outer coat and sat down cross-legged with a cold expression. “Please, begin!”

“No!”

Han Biwei let out a shriek, her vision went black, and she fainted.

Prince and the others charged forward desperately.

“All of you, halt!” Qin Tianxuan roared. “Anyone who comes closer is making an enemy of me!”

Wutian, with tears in his eyes, blocked his brothers.

“Everyone, listen up! If the Master doesn’t take this Celestial Punishment, Madam Weiwei will forever be branded a homewrecker, and the Master will be ridiculed by the whole world! We can only endure it!”

Everyone gritted their teeth so hard they nearly shattered, watching helplessly.

Over there, Tian Mie and Earth Demon stepped forward indifferently.

BOOM!

Without any nonsense, Tian Mie struck Qin Tianxuan’s neck with his palm.

Instantly, Earth Demon bent his knees and struck Qin Tianxuan squarely in the back.

Qin Tianxuan collapsed, silent and still.

On the ground around where Qin Tianxuan had fallen, spiderweb-like cracks shockingly appeared!

‘Tian Mie and Earth Demon… such terrifying power.’

Everyone rushed over frantically. Huang Tian, alongside them, anxiously called out Qin Tianxuan’s name.

In the end, they could only lift Qin Tianxuan and rush him back to the car.

The motorcade sped away with a roar.

Back in Yangliu Town, Luo Qilin let out a long breath, so ecstatic he nearly started dancing on the spot.

Steward Qin also laughed wildly. “The decisive battle at the Martial Arts Arena is the day after tomorrow. I must congratulate Commander Luo in advance.”

The two of them left in excitement.

Yangliu Town fell quiet.

However, Tian Mie and Earth Demon, the two from the Battle Department Prison, remained standing in place, their expressions extremely odd.

After a long, long time, the elder Tian Mie gently rubbed his palm, a strange look in his eyes. “Junior Brother, my palm is still numb, and I can barely lift my arm. What about you?”

The elder Earth Demon’s eyes flickered. He rolled up his pant leg, revealing a badly bruised purple knee.

“Senior Brother, my legs won’t stop shaking, especially my right one. The Quchi and Liuhe acupoints feel like they’re being stabbed with needles!”

Tian Mie and Earth Demon looked at each other, their faces filled with horror.

“Back then, Senior Brother, you struck the Night Emperor’s neck with your palm, and I slammed my knees into his spine!”

“That’s right. The Night Emperor didn’t resist at all. He took our harshest Celestial Punishment head-on, but…”

The elder Tian Mie’s face turned ashen. He coughed, spitting out a mouthful of congealed blood. “But I’ve been severely injured!”

The elder Earth Demon leaned against a nearby tree, desperately suppressing the churning in his gut, but ultimately collapsed and sat on the ground.

“I’m in even worse shape than you, Senior Brother. I’m afraid I won’t be able to circulate my energy for at least half a month!”

The two titans who had once struck fear into the entire Battle Department now looked at each other with bitter smiles.

“The Night Emperor repelled our Celestial Punishment using only his passive protective energy! What the hell kind of monster is he?!”

“Sigh, I’ve met legendary masters before, but this… this is beyond legendary.”

“Could there really be people who surpass the legendary realm?”

“It is said that after the legendary realm, there are four more realms: King, Emperor, Sovereign, and Saint. But the strongest of all are the Heaven-and-Earth-tier masters—Immortals on Earth, Monarchs in Heaven!”

The two didn’t dare to speak further.

They didn’t dare to casually speculate about Qin Tianxuan’s true power.

But whether it was Tian Mie or Earth Demon, both had already understood a certain truth!

The so-called Celestial Punishment, to the Night Emperor, was no different from being tickled…

「In Jin City’s First-Grade Villa.」

Everyone crowded around Qin Tianxuan, who had just been carried in.

Gu Qingzhi and Lingsu were frantically flipping through medical books, their foreheads beaded with sweat.

Ye Mingzhu clenched her fists, tears streaming down her face.

Niannian and Ah Xue were kept outside the bedroom, for fear they would be too heartbroken by the sight.

Cang Bingyan, her face pale, was comforting Niannian.

Outside, Ye Xuanxuan was crying her eyes out. “It’s all my fault, all my fault.”

Amidst the panicked and sorrowful atmosphere, a light chuckle was heard.

Qin Tianxuan rolled over, sat up, and stretched lazily. “What’s all this crying about? I’m not dead yet. Prepare a banquet. Let’s all have dinner together!”
