Chapter 266: You Need to Reason

"Even if you’re a god, you must take responsibility for your words!" You You’s expression darkened instantly. What kind of logic was this? What did the demon tribes have to do with Feng Rong? "I don’t care where you came from or whether you’re a True God or fake. Feng Rong is mine! Harm him and I’ll destroy you!"

Feng Rong froze mid-charge, whirling to stare at her. His anger evaporated into sparkling eyes as he retreated behind her, murmuring softly, "You You… he bullied me."

"Stay back." You You shoved him protectively behind her.

"The Ancient Sin Clan brings chaos! Their existence defies heaven!" The stranger’s divine Pressure engulfed the Floating Island as he addressed the crowd. "Will you all shield this abomination and defy the Heavenly Dao?"

Silence fell. Immortals exchanged confused glances. Where was the promised Opportunity for becoming gods? Why did this True God call their Divine Clan member a Sin Clan? Yet his overwhelming Presence and divine power felt undeniably real.

The Elder stepped forward, face flushed with anger. "Mind your words! Divine Lord Feng of Zhen Yan Sect is respected by all. You appear suddenly claiming godhood – who’s truly suspicious here?"

"Exactly!" Huan Yan barked. "Where’d you crawl from? Accusing my grandma without proof!"

"Sin Clan? Never heard of it!" Fang Ming crossed his arms. "You think saying it makes it true? What, are you the Heavenly Dao now?"

Even the Fifth Heavenly Emperor frowned. "Perhaps there’s some mistake?"

"I descended to warn you!" The stranger’s eyes burned with urgency. "As Immortal Realm rulers, how can you be fooled by a Sin Clan facade? Would a True God lie?"

"True Gods can’t lie?" Hong Fei snapped. "Demons disguise themselves too! Remember Ming Ye?"

At this, the Emperors shifted protectively around You You.

"Fools!" The stranger’s patience snapped. "I’ll purge this Sin Clan now! Resist and I’ll crush you all!"

He soared skyward, divine power erupting. A colossal Phantom mirroring his form materialized, its crushing Pressure forcing every immortal to their knees except the Ninth Heavenly Emperor on the Divine Descent Platform.

"Master, behind me!" The Elder lunged forward as sword shadows rained down – only to freeze mid-step with the other Emperors, immobilized by overwhelming suppression.

"Elder!" You You grabbed his stiffened arm. Across the Floating Island, every immortal stood petrified like statues.

The stranger descended toward Feng Rong, dozens of intelligent sword shadows swirling around him. Rage ignited in You You’s chest.

Enough!

Her Spirit Sword flashed, deflecting the first wave. She activated her signature skill – "Sea Dries, Stone Rots!" – and yelled: "Trash! You dare answer me?!"

The stranger hesitated, sword shadows stuttering. "The Sin Clan shall per…ACK!"

Divine power snuffed out like a candle. His Phantom imploded as he plummeted face-first into the Floating Island, sword shadows pinning his rear to the ground.

You You blinked at the crater. The Emperors stared.

"Master…" The Elder’s eyes darted sideways in his frozen state. "Your spell…"

"Just simple immobilization." You You shrugged. "So we can… discuss things calmly."

"But you froze EVERYTHING!" protested Old Four’s rigid form.

"Grandpa’s magic rules!" Huan Yan cheered through clenched teeth. "Now… maybe unfreeze us?"

"Me too!" groaned Old Five.

"And me!" added Old Seven.

"All of us!" chorused the Floating Island’s petrified population.

You You: "…"
