Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 2306
Chapter 2306 Chu Kuangren Is Not Only Innocent, But He Has Also Done A Great Service, The Truth Was Revealed, The Heavenly Sovereign’s Killing Intent
The Supreme Council had three Adjudicators.
The first was the Heavenly Sovereign, the second was the Earthen Monarch, and the third one was the Human Empress.
Each aspect — the heavens, earth, and humanity — was represented by each Adjudicator of the Supreme Council. The three of them held supreme authority over the human race, possessing the right to judge the good and the bad. “Chu Kuangren, are you well aware of your crimes?”
The high and mighty Heavenly Sovereign immediately questioned him for his crimes.
His voice was like a rolling thunder, rumbling the clouds.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren stood with both hands behind his back. He lifted his head at the three great Adjudicators, his gaze calm. “What crime have I possibly committed?!”
“You have killed many Monarch Seeds inside the Human Ancestral Land. Do you not know that those people were the future of the human race? If that isn’t a crime, what is?”
“Those seeds had gone bad, so what future could they have brought? I was cleaning them up for the human race. Speaking of which, I’m not guilty. In fact, I’ve even done a great service to humanity!”
“Nothing but nonsense and desperate excuses! Don’t even try to argue your way out of this, Chu Kuangren. The evidence that you’ve killed so many Monarch Seeds is clear!” The Divine Sword Palace Leader snorted.
Then, he bowed to the three Adjudicators and said, “Your Honorable Excellencies, I humbly request that Chu Kuangren gets severely punished for his actions so that justice to the great Human Sanctuaries can be restored!”
“Who has the nerve to lay their hands on my Honorable Teacher?”
The Tempest King snorted, her Monarch aura wreaking havoc across the land. She stared daggers at the three Adjudicators with no intention of stepping aside.
Meanwhile, one of the three Adjudicators who was a woman in yellow robes, the Human Empress, looked at the Tempest King with a gentle and warm smile. “To have attained such a level of power in just one epoch, you truly haven’t disappointed me, Tempest King.”
She seemed to know the Tempest King.
The Tempest King fell silent upon hearing that. She did know the Human Empress from the one time the Human Empress helped her in the past.
However, the Tempest King had no choice but to get on her bad side today because of Chu Kuangren.
Her determination made the Heavenly Sovereign and Earthen Monarch ponder.
If it were other ordinary Monarchs, the three Adjudicators could ignore them.
However, they could not afford to take the Tempest King lightly. After all, they had been watching the Tempest King all these years. If she were to put her life on the line right now, even an Adjudicator like them would not stand to benefit much from this. “Your Honorable Excellencies, may I have the permission to speak my mind?”
At that moment, a gentle voice sounded.
Mingyue Wuxia slowly stepped forward.
Everyone turned their heads toward her.
She continued to speak. “I believe Chu Kuangren is innocent!”
Her comment started an uproar among the crowd. Especially Granny Snowflower of the Heavenly Human Sanctuary, she was very puzzled. “Wuxia, are you aware that Chu Kuangren was the one who killed Lu Wuheng? How can he be innocent?”
However, Mingyue Wuxia did not answer her.
The three Adjudicators looked at Mingyue Wuxia with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
“What is your reason for saying so?”
“When we entered the Human Ancestral Land…” Mingyue Wuxia began to tell everyone about the foreign tribes that infiltrated the Human Ancestral Land to steal the Human Ancestor’s blood and place a curse on it.
“If the Human Ancestor’s blood were to fall into the hands of those outsiders, the consequences would surely be unimaginable. Hence, I believe Chu Kuangren is not only innocent, but he has also done humanity a great service.”
At the end of Mingyue Wuxia’s explanation, everyone was stunned.
Things were very different from what they knew.
“Swish, swish…”
Everyone looked at Dao Lingtian.
They knew he must be afraid to speak out about joining forces with the foreign tribes as it would harm his reputation if he told them. That was why he omitted that fact earlier.
Wine Honorable could not help but sneer. He commented sarcastically, “My my, it seems that the Manifa Destiny Sect has truly produced a wonderful Divine Bachelor.”
“Second on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard? Hmph, more like a complete waste of space.”
The Tempest King was much more direct with her words.
Dao Lingtian’s face turned red at the mockery from the crowd and all their disdainful glances. At that moment, he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
“Hmph! That’s just your side of the story,” the Divine Sword Palace Leader said unrelentingly.
“We can testify for that.”
Just then, a cultivator stepped forward and spoke up.
It was Li De of the Tranquil Immortal Sect.
Besides him, a few other cultivators stepped out as witnesses for Chu Kuangren too.
They were cultivators who had suffered the curse on Immortal Island and were saved by Chu Kuangren. The three Adjudicators pondered after hearing what they all said.
“If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean Chu Kuangren is not only innocent but has also done a great service?”
“That’s right. If the foreign tribes had gotten their hands on the Human Ancestor’s blood and placed a curse on it using some ominous means, it would’ve left a devastating blow to humanity.”
“I agree.”
It started a discussion among the crowd.
Meanwhile, the Divine Sword Palace Leader, the Purple Lightning Master, and other Monarchs did not look happy.
Would that not mean they were causing such a big scene for nothing?
“Hmph! For joining forces with outsiders for one’s selfish interest, acting with such disgrace, and even concealing the truth from others, you don’t deserve to live!” The Earthen Monarch snorted coldly.
His willpower manifestations trembled slightly.
“Boom!”
A surge of Monarch energy was suddenly blasted at Dao Lingtian.
The strength of that energy was overwhelming enough to kill him a thousand times over!
Dao Lingtian’s face was filled with horror.
At that moment, the Heavenly Sovereign unleashed a surge of Daoist law energy, creating a barrier in front of Dao Lingtian that blocked the Earthen Monarch’s attack.
When the two of their attacks collided, the energy fluctuation released was comparable to the top-tier Monarchs.
It was extremely terrifying.
However, those were only their willpower manifestations.
“Earthen Monarch, Dao Lingtian is ranked second on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard. He’s an important Monarch Seed who can help humanity in the battle of fortune in this era. We mustn’t kill him so rashly,” the Heavenly Sovereign advised.
“That’s funny. My Honorable Teacher is ranked first on the Divine Bachelor Leaderboard. Does this mean you can kill him as you wish?”
The Heavenly Sovereign shot the Tempest King a glance.
A chilling killing intent could be seen within the depth of his gaze.
However, that killing intent was concealed very well.
No one else besides the Tempest King could sense it.
“Giving me a warning, huh? If you have the balls to do so, come here in person!”
Why would the Tempest King be bothered by his killing intent?
On the contrary, she had provoked him! Everyone’s heart pounded in fear.
After all, the Heavenly Sovereign was one of the three great Adjudicators who held supreme authority over the human race. No one would dare provoke him in such a manner.
The Tempest King might be the first person in history to do that.
The coldness in the Heavenly Sovereign’s eyes intensified when he heard what she said. The sky turned dark as a suffocating atmosphere enveloped the surroundings.
It was as if the heavens were enraged!
“Hehe. The Tempest King is still so direct with her words. She’s still young, Heavenly Sovereign, so don’t take it personally,” the Human Empress said.
Her gentle voice diffused the tense atmosphere in the surroundings.
“Goldwing, I’ll leave the rest to you,” said the Heavenly Sovereign.
Soon, the skies returned to azure blue once again.
The supreme overbearing aura also vanished without a trace.
“Chu Kuangren… What a splendid name. I shall remember it.”
The Earthen Monarch cast a deep gaze at Chu Kuangren before he left. Chu Kuangren was stunned. That was the first time someone had complimented his name.
“I’ll be seeing you again, Tempest King.”
After taking a look at Chu Kuangren, the Human Empress turned to the Tempest King and chuckled.
The Tempest King retracted her aura as well. “You’re welcome to visit anytime.”
After the auras of the three Adjudicators left, the Goldwing Monarch looked at the other Monarchs at the scene and snorted. “I can’t believe the Human Sanctuaries, as huge and influential as you are, made the report to the Supreme Council without investigating the truth properly. I will be visiting you again to talk about this one day.”
He was about to leave when a surge of aura locked onto him.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
It was the Tempest King. She looked at him coldly. “After accusing my Honorable Teacher and attacking me, do you think you can walk away like that?”
