Chapter 114: Confronting the Judge
Wang Yao was very shocked and found it hard to understand, "Boss, why were we suddenly discovered? There are four judges outside!"
After becoming a member of the Spiritual Law team, he finally understood how terrifying the higher-ups of Baishi Town truly were!
Even if Yun Ye could kill the Captain, he would still be no match for all four judges!
Wasn’t this a certain death?
"I awakened the Dao artifact, and Baishi Town found out, so they naturally want to wipe me out," Yun Ye replied.
"Dao artifact?"
Wang Yao had no idea what that was.
"It is something that protects Baishi Town from demon invasions. By having the Dao artifact, I qualify to be king, so they definitely want to kill me," Yun Ye explained.
"Is there… no way to hide it?" Wang Yao asked anxiously.
"Perhaps there is, but I don’t know how I was detected," Yun Ye said.
"I will begin testing to find out the reason. You all should not make this mistake again in the future."
Yun Ye shook his head and said seriously, "Wang Yao, to topple the old world, it’s not just simple anger that’s needed, but an unquenchable belief that refuses to be defeated no matter how desperate the situation! I have only started this cause, and you must not give up on moving forward!"
"But…" Wang Yao hesitated.
"Wang Yao, don’t underestimate me. This is not a death sentence; beliefs can be passed on!"
Yun Ye smiled as water and fire erupted from his palms. The Dao Sword manifested before him; he caressed the strange blade of the Ming Rihui Sword and said, "Even if I die, our ideals are correct, and in the future, countless people will believe in us and carry on our ideals. What is Baishi Town to us?"
"Ha! Wang Yao, with each step you take, you are striking the death knell for the aristocrats of Baishi Town. You must believe this is the inevitability of the times!"
Seeing Yun Ye’s determination, Wang Yao couldn’t say anything discouraging. His eyes turned red as he replied, "Alright!"
He wasn’t worried about any ideals; he simply didn’t want his boss to die just like that.
What a world this was!
"Take this too, and give part of it to Tong Huo Yang. You will need it later," Yun Ye said, handing them a stack of talismans he had crafted himself and explaining their functions in detail.
The task he had was monumental, and he sensed that Baishi Town would certainly interrogate everyone, so he prepared in advance to avoid being discovered.
The stack of talismans sealed the Nether Fire, capable of blocking Spirit Law.
In silence, Wang Yao took the talismans and left to share part of them with Tong Huo Yang.
…
Time quickly passed.
White Mist swirled up, trying to expel everyone from the Secret Realm, and Yun Ye was no exception.
When Wang Yao and Tong Huo Yang realized this was a farewell, the world flipped, returning them to the shadowy Wood Spirit Valley. The chilling atmosphere almost left them unable to move.
The Black Armored Army and the Spiritual Law team members returned after the White Mist passed, all standing on the surface of the Moon Reflection Water Pool, creating rippling waves.
However, almost everyone froze in place because as soon as they emerged, four judges cast extremely oppressive gazes upon them. Even Ji Ming’e, a core member of the Ji family, was uncertain and did not understand what had happened, so she refrained from acting rashly.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Footsteps echoed on the water’s surface, drawing everyone’s attention as a young man in simple clothing stepped out from the crowd.
He was an extraordinary young man with unkempt black hair, exuding a unique and otherworldly aura.
Most of the captains looked at him with surprise. Who was this person?
If someone so outstanding had been around earlier, they would have surely noticed!
“Yang Shi? What are you doing? Stop this at once! Do you want to provoke the judges?!”
Yun Wen, as Yun Ye’s superior, felt his mood plummeting. How could he not recognize Yun Ye?
He sensed danger; his subordinate was causing trouble, and he would not escape such consequences!
However, the once-silent Yang Shi was clearly gone forever.
Yun Ye glanced at him, sending Yun Wen into a chilling shock, feeling icy dread seep into his bones, taking an involuntary step back.
What was happening?
Was he really Yang Shi?
Yun Ye clearly had no time to bother with Yun Wen. He walked step by step to the shore, facing the four judges directly.
“I’m curious; why did you discover me so quickly? I am in the Secret Realm; you should not be able to perceive my presence,” Yun Ye spoke, his voice echoing throughout the Wood Spirit Valley, shocking nearly everyone to the core.
What a joke?
This person was questioning the judges?
In the extraordinary world, the respect for power was ingrained in everyone’s marrow, and the judges represented the pinnacle of Baishi Town—the absolute authority!
Yun Ye’s audacity was like a child challenging a crazed killer armed with an endless supply of ammunition.
Insane to the extreme!
“It’s over…”
Yun Wen’s mouth twitched, almost able to envision the punishment Baishi Town would impose upon him.
Though he had once challenged the Deputy Officer of Physical Law, it was after he became Captain and under the guise of seeking advice!
Among the four judges, Liu Quan stared at Yun Ye and spoke, clearly astonished:
“Unbelievable! It’s you! A commoner from Mingzhu Village has surprisingly passed Thunder True Feather’s trials, entering the second stage, and awakened the Dao artifact!”
At the level of a judge, recalling memories of one’s life was no problem. With a simple recollection, Liu Quan recognized Yun Ye.
Moreover, Liu Quan also understood the art of divination; with a few calculations, he could grasp Yun Ye’s background.
“Indeed, just an ordinary commoner with no background, but now you possess a Nine Bone Spiritual Body, standing on the threshold of the spiritual realm, and have awakened the Dao artifact—remarkable, truly remarkable! You have a great secret!”
Liu Quan expressed his astonishment, but unfortunately, even such extraordinary abilities would still lead to a dead end.
The Ji family would not allow anyone to challenge their authority!
A spiritual body was one thing, but a Dao artifact was absolutely forbidden to touch!
“The Nine Bone Spiritual Body—it’s you? You killed Tong Yuan? Who exactly are you, hiding among the Black Armored Army for what purpose?”
Li Fahxing couldn’t hold back any longer after hearing Liu Quan’s words. His killing intent was so strong it nearly caused the surrounding waters to explode.
He was scared off before, thinking it was the Great Disaster!
This was simply ridiculous!
Yun Ye didn’t even look at him; in a world where the gap in combat power was so vast, Li Fahxing was now a mere nobody.
His only opponents were the four judges.
“Tong Yuan is dead? No, it’s not just Tong Yuan!”
Ji Yan held up the bronze cauldron, feeling somewhat unsettled. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense and discovered that many Black Armored soldiers had died this time, especially one team that had lost over half its members!
The great disaster was imminent, and this was a significant loss for Baishi Town.
He glanced at Yun Ye and said to Qi Lian, “Judge Qi, he has broken your Spirit Law and committed a great crime; how about you execute him yourself?”
“I dislike fighting,” Qi Lian directly shook her head.
“Very well then,” Ji Yan did not insist and turned to his deputy officer, commanding, “Ji Xuan, you deal with him.”
“Understood.”
Ji Xuan smiled as he stretched his body and stepped down from the floating mat.
The star ring surrounding him expanded dramatically, enveloping the entire Wood Spirit Valley.
An overwhelming pressure filled the air, so terrifying that it was hard to breathe.
In an instant, it crushed the entire earth and sky.
Everyone knelt or even crawled on the ground!
Ji Xuan didn’t even need to use a Dao artifact; his presence alone crushed everyone else.
The only one still standing was Yun Ye.
Wang Yao and Tong Huo Yang lay prostrate on the ground, truly feeling the despairing gap in power…
Yet the figure in front remained upright.
The young man slightly raised his head, his eyes shining with brilliant light, fiery red covering his pupils, red patterns spreading across his forehead:
“A Deputy Officer of Physical Law, huh? Although it’s just a weaker form, it’s perfect for experiencing the judges’ power… I want to see just how strong you all are!”
Three Mystical True Fire enveloped his body.
The Spirit Gathering Ring activated.
Behind Yun Ye, dark flames erupted, a black hole appeared, and an astonishing amount of spirit energy began to gather towards him and the black hole.
