Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1523: Public Hearing

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi suddenly laughed out loud. One of his hands grabbed onto the spear fiercely as he pushed it towards his neck. He looked at Heavenly King You as he injected heavenly powers into his voice and shouted, “Poison Spirit, take note. If anything were to happen, don’t care about anything and immediately crush that interspatial ring; I want those bastards to die with me! Since no one is reasonable anymore, we have no need to continue talking to them!”

“Jiang Yi, don’t! My Majesty Father has come.”

Qi Qingchen hurriedly cried out, “Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long are not unreasonable people. The three commanders-in-chief of the Demon-Buster Army are famous for being upright and fair; do not act rashly!”

The Wintry Sovereign did not know what had happened. However, since Qi Qingchen had spoken, he continued, “Jiang Yi, calm yourself. As long as you have not done wrong this time, things can be clarified. If you act rashly, no one can save you.”

Qi Qingchen and Wintry Sovereign acting in concert made Heavenly King You’s face darken instantly. However, he could not say anything as he continued holding his spear up high, pointing at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi also didn’t continue saying anything as he just smiled coldly at Heavenly King You. It was like a lion cub facing down a tiger king!

Two men were next to the Wintry Sovereign. One was a middle-aged man with a deep scar on his face. He had probably purposely left the scar there to look more ferocious and deadly. The other was a rather old-fashioned looking old man. His hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white. He was also slightly hunch-backed.

The old-fashioned old man was Heavenly King Wu. He looked about a few times as his eyebrows raised, and he said, “You Feng, keep your weapon. Jiang Yi, who said we are unreasonable? Ask the Sword Emanations Race beings to retreat to one side and hand the interspatial ring to me. I will personally hold a public hearing about this!”

Qi Qingchen sent a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, Heavenly King Wu is the number-one commander-in-chief; Heavenly King You and Heavenly King Long both have to obey him!”

Heavenly King You kept his spear and retreated a hundred feet. Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword flashed as the Sword Emanations Race beings parted and created a passageway. Jiang Yi then spoke, “Heavenly King You, you can go over first; I’m afraid that you will launch a sneak attack and kill me!”

“Toss the interspatial ring over, and I will naturally go over!” Heavenly King You did not move as he actually smiled coldly and said.

Jiang Yi smiled mockingly and replied, “You are the all-powerful Heavenly King You; is this all the guts you have? You and your two companions are all King-Ranked; if we really destroyed the ring, would we be able to escape?”

“You Feng, come over!”

Heavenly King Wu’s tone became slightly harsher. Heavenly King You was now not only throwing away his own face, but he was also disgracing them all. What would people say if they found out he was afraid of someone so junior?

Heavenly King You looked at Jiang Yi harshly as he rushed out from the passageway created by the Sword Emanations Race beings and stood behind Heavenly King Wu. Poison Spirit and Qi Qingchen hurriedly gathered around Jiang Yi. Qi Qingchen knew that with her around, Jiang Yi’s chances of survival were much higher now.

“Ask the Sword Emanations Race beings to retreat and hand over the interspatial ring!”

Heavenly King Wu once again ordered. However, Jiang Yi was a little hesitant. After all, if he really handed over the interspatial ring, they would have no chips left on them and would be at the mercy of the King-Ranked commanders-in-chief. If the other two Heavenly Kings were as unreasonable as Heavenly King You, Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit would really die a maligned death. Also, if after handing over the interspatial ring, Heavenly King You risked everything and attacked; the other three King-Ranked formidable martial artists might not be able to stop him in time, right?

Hence, Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed a few times as he asked, “Can you guarantee to be fair and just? What happens if after I hand over the ring, I am killed immediately? I am not an idiot...”

Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long’s eyes revealed a sliver of rage. Heavenly King Long roared, “What insolence! Do you know who you are speaking to? Commander-in-chief Wu is well-known in the Earth Domain for being just and upright; he will not go back on his word. You dare to question him? Based on your insubordination and rebuking your superiors, you deserve to be killed according to Demon-Buster Army rules!”

“Hahahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed as if having heard the greatest joke in the world. He said mockingly, “If that is the case, there isn’t anything to talk about, right? Rebutting the commander-in-chief? If I had the chance just now, I would have killed Heavenly King You if I could. Although I didn’t succeed, we still managed to wound him. Does that mean according to Demon-Buster Army rules, we both have to be cut into a thousand pieces each?

“Since that is the case, what else is there to talk about? Just and upright? Heavenly King You was also ‘just and upright’ just now. Hehe. He didn’t even bother investigating and came here with the sole intention of killing us. You guys are indeed all the same, cut from the same cloth.

“How dare you!”

Heavenly King Long was livid as his killing aura emanated from him. Heavenly King You’s hand also quivered slightly; he was probably trying to calm himself down. They were the high-and-mighty, supposedly unquestionable commanders-in-chief; when had they been humiliated as such before?

At this moment, Heavenly King Wu’s face actually became composed. This whole time, Wintry Sovereign had been speedily exchanging voice transmissions with Qi Qingchen. Before anyone else could say anything, Wintry Sovereign’s face became extremely dark as he suddenly spoke. “Heavenly King Wu, Heavenly King Long, Heavenly King You; there is indeed more to this than there seems to be on the surface. If a public hearing is not held, I am afraid that the ten thousand realms would be displeased... perhaps no one would send resources to the Demon-Buster Army camp ever again!”

“En?”

Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long’s eyes flashed with a cold light as their faces became very serious. Even Heavenly King You’s killing intent also lessened slightly as his brain worked furiously to try and analyze this situation. Heavenly King You felt that something was amiss; could it be that unfilial grandson of his had been involved in something grotesque and unsightly?

The Wintry Sovereign’s status in the Earth Domain was unquestionable!

Furthermore, he was about to head to the Heaven Domain. Hence, Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long both took his word very seriously. Heavenly King Wu spoke, “Jiang Yi, hand over the interspatial ring and release You Tianni, Bai Ditian, and company out. I will hold a public hearing here and now. Rest assured; I will not be partial!”

Jiang Yi was still slightly hesitant as his gaze turned to the Wintry Sovereign. The latter nodded and said, “Jiang Yi, you guys can come to my side. No one would dare to kill you before the public hearing is over!”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi did not trust the three commanders-in-chief. However, Wintry Sovereign was Qi Qingchen’s father; he naturally believed in him.

He brought Qi Qingchen and Poison Spirit and flew from among the Sword Emanations Race beings as he waved his Fire Dragon Sword and ordered all the Sword Emanations Race beings to retreat. Of course... the Sword Emanations King was still following him; this was Jiang Yi’s most powerful bodyguard at present.

Swish!

The Wintry Sovereign acted as he flew towards Jiang Yi and company and stood in front of him, creating a distance between Jiang Yi and the three commanders-in-chief to prevent Heavenly King You from launching a sneak attack. Jiang Yi said to Poison Spirit, “Poison Spirit, the ring!”

Poison Spirit tossed the ring to Heavenly King You as Heavenly King Wu ordered, “You Feng, send everyone out!”

Heavenly King Wu was indeed the number-one in the Demon-Buster Army; even Heavenly King You did not dare to disobey his orders. Heavenly King You obediently sent the eight thousand over men out from his ring.

Buzz!

You Tianni and company appeared in midair as they saw that all three Heavenly Kings had gathered. Not only that, they saw that Jiang Yi was actually still alive as a commotion broke out. Some young masters pointed at Jiang Yi and started shouting, wanting to report Jiang Yi’s crimes and asking the three commanders-in-chief to kill Jiang Yi.

“Shut up!”

Heavenly King Wu shouted in fury, “I had not asked anyone to speak; whoever dares to say another word will be killed!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

You Tianni, You Hong, and others’ faces became pale-white. Things did not look good. If something went wrong, their misdeeds would be made known. However, Heavenly King Wu’s authority was absolute; no one dared to say anything else.

Heavenly King Wu’s icy-cold gaze swept the crowd as he asked, “Alright, who can tell me, why you guys are killing each other today?”
