Chapter 1285: Upholding Justice

Chapter One Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Six: Upholding Justice

"I'm not questioning the enforcer; I'm merely conducting a routine check," the Emissary of Reception said calmly, his Dharmakaya indistinct.

Everyone was startled, and doubts arose in their minds. Was there something amiss with the enforcer's identity? This was truly an unexpected major development!

The Dragon Horse was furious, smoke practically billowing from its orifices. "Don't you dare give me an excuse, or I'll make you wish you were dead!" Having been so unjustly accused, the Dragon Horse had been holding back its rage. If the enforcer's identity turned out to be questionable, its indignation would only intensify.

The enforcer's voice was icy cold. "Does anyone dare impersonate an enforcer? To demand a divine token to verify my identity—that is an insult to me!"

He did not produce the divine token, which only increased suspicion, and many people began to clamor.

"Please show your divine token!" many shouted. The series of events that had just unfolded made it difficult for anyone to feel favorably towards him.

The enforcer scoffed lightly, "I am clad in the Great Luo Silver Essence Battle Armor. This is the best proof; only enforcers can possess it. Is that not enough to prove my identity?"

His armor gleamed with brilliant silver light, making it difficult for many to look directly at him. At his words, many fell silent. This type of Saint King-level armor was, in itself, a symbol of identity and status.

"I have no intention of offending the enforcer, but everything must follow the rules," the Emissary of Reception for the Second Human City insisted, refusing to yield.

"Very well, I shall convince you then!" the enforcer sneered. With a clang of metallic resonance, a radiant silver divine token appeared in the void, dazzlingly bright. A unique dao pattern pulsed around it, matching the enforcer's own circulating vital energy.

"Indeed, this is a divine token from the Ancient Starry Sky Road, belonging to a powerful enforcer. It matches his vital energy; there's no mistake," exclaimed several elders in the city. Some leaders of major powers had also arrived at Yan Manor.

"Do you have anything else to say?!" the enforcer roared, his gaze cold and fixated on the Emissary of Reception.

Everyone was stunned. This was indeed a true enforcer, not an impostor, leaving many speechless.

The Emissary of Reception was silent for a moment; this fact left him with little to say.

"My identity has been confirmed by you. Are there any more questions? If not, act immediately and apprehend this villain!" The enforcer pointed at Ye Fan.

"We object! Why suppress Ye Fan? He is clearly the victim. Why should he be imprisoned while that alien remains free, standing behind you?" Rui Wei shouted indignantly.

"I said I would take him back for investigation. Everything will come to light. This situation escalated only because he resisted arrest without cause!" the enforcer sneered.

Rui Wei was unconvinced and indignant. "What kind of logic is that? To shackle the victim and take him back for investigation, while the perpetrator remains free? You can't distinguish right from wrong!"

The Emissary of Reception interjected, "This matter isn't complicated. I don't think it's necessary to take him away. It can be clarified here publicly, providing an explanation to everyone."

"Too late, unfortunately. He has already rebelled, threatening to destroy the Ancient Starry Sky Road. This is a heinous crime!" The enforcer shook his head, a chilling smile on his face. "He must be taken away. Such a traitor to humanity needs to be forcefully suppressed!"

The Dragon Horse was enraged. "Damn you! You're just being unreasonable; this is all because of your meddling. Don't tell me you've been enforcing laws like this all along. How many people have you forced into rebellion? I bet there are mountains of unjust cases!"

"Where is the Emissary of Reception? Why aren't you apprehending him? I am deeply concerned about the current state of the Second Human City. You will likely be held accountable in the future," the enforcer said sinisterly.

The Emissary of Reception shook his head. "If I am to be held accountable, that will be a matter for the future. But for now, there is truly no need for such a large-scale mobilization. Ye Fan's alleged crimes can be clarified right here."

"Since you put it that way, I shall enforce the law publicly then. According to the laws of the Ancient Starry Sky Road, anyone who betrays humanity deserves death. I now order you to execute him publicly!" the enforcer stated ruthlessly and grimly.

Everyone was greatly alarmed. The enforcer was clearly determined to eliminate Ye Fan, leaving him no chance. To dare to act like this in the Second Human City meant things would certainly be even worse if Ye Fan were taken away.

"Heh, that's how it should be," the former commander Yan Yu said sinisterly. He had already recovered from his injuries and was no longer under the Emissary of Reception's control.

His great-grandson, Yan Chifeng, also had a cold smirk on his lips. Standing to the side, he waited silently for Ye Fan's head to fall, a hint of mockery in his expression.

Behind the enforcer, the two alien beings appeared calm, yet it was not difficult to discern faint traces of schadenfreude and satisfaction from revenge in their eyes.

"Bullshit enforcer!" the Dragon Horse cursed, preparing to act.

"I rebel too!" Yu Xian cried out, her face etched with frost, a stark contrast to her usual sweet demeanor.

"I've always had one question in my mind: how did these alien beings enter the Second Human City?" Ye Fan asked the Emissary of Reception, his expression serious.

"They came with the enforcer," the Emissary of Reception replied calmly.

"What?!" A commotion broke out among the crowd. Ye Fan's single question instantly made many people's eyes widen!

"By the f***ing heavens..." the Dragon Horse cursed, unable to restrain itself any longer. The root of the problem was right here: six alien cultivators had arrived with the enforcer.

"Is there no justice left?!" Rui Wei also shouted loudly.

No wonder the enforcer was shielding the aliens; everyone suddenly understood. These people were originally brought by him, had severely violated the rules by entering the Primordial Dao Field to murder human powerhouses, and ultimately faced no punishment. The truth was finally revealed.

Many were furious but dared not speak out, yet their hearts were filled with extreme indignation, glaring with anger.

The Dragon Horse was enraged. "The Ancient Starry Sky Road is too dark! Is this what impartial enforcement looks like? I curse your ancestors!"

"What is the Yan clan doing? Equally despicable! They act as accomplices to tyranny, framing humanity—utterly shameless!" Rui Wei exclaimed.

Yu Xian pondered, the Yan clan and the enforcer were truly malicious. They had originally intended to lure Ye Fan alone into the manor. Wouldn't it have been easy to arbitrarily accuse him of major crimes then? The aliens were actually the enforcer's subordinates! She publicly revealed this, causing another wave of chaos.

Many people felt indignant. This was truly too arrogant, insidious, and vile. They were framing and slandering; those who should be prisoners were now honored guests at Yan Manor, while the victim was to suffer injustice.

"Impudent!" the enforcer roared, striking a majestic pose, hoping to suppress everyone and then escape. Being exposed publicly, he had a premonition of trouble.

Just then, a soldier flew over and secretly reported something to the Emissary of Reception via telepathy.

The Emissary of Reception suddenly raised his head and said coldly, "I never thought it would be Young Master Liu Ye impersonating your uncle. Even with your prominent status, this is a grave crime!"

At these words, everyone first froze, then a commotion erupted, turning into an uproar.

This person was indeed problematic. He was a nephew of an enforcer, yet he dared to act so brazenly, impersonating his uncle!

The Emissary of Reception had already sensed something amiss and had sent someone to verify it the day before. Now, he had received definitive news: this person was indeed the nephew of a certain enforcer.

The crowd was agitated. By now, many were surging forward. This person named Liu Ye was too arrogant and tyrannical; merely a nephew of an enforcer, yet he sought to wield absolute power.

"You... stop!" Liu Ye roared, his Great Luo Silver Essence Battle Armor clanging loudly and emitting brilliant silver light.

"Stop your mother, you despicable wretch who flaunts your family connections! Now that you've been exposed, you still want to act high and mighty? I'll kill you!"

The Dragon Horse was the first to charge, standing upright, its hooves executing the 'Footwork Character Art'. It slammed a hoof forward, causing the earth and sky to tremble, engaging Liu Ye in battle.

*Clang*, *clash*...

It must be said that Liu Ye's magical power was profound; he was indeed a heaven-gifted talent, with exceptionally superb cultivation. Especially while wearing the Great Luo Silver Essence Battle Armor, he was unstoppable.

Even as powerful as the Dragon Horse, which became a Saint on an ancient planet of transformation, far surpassing ordinary Saints, it surprisingly couldn't defeat him for a time.

"It's really him, Liu Ye. He's sworn brothers with the Qilin Saint Emissary, a subordinate of Young Master Ditian," murmured Ling'er, the exiled immortaless's personal maid.

Fairy Qing Shi nodded, saying nothing.

The former commander Yan Yu shouted loudly, "Stop! Do you know what you're doing? He is the nephew of Enforcer Liu Fengdu. If you kill him, there will be great trouble!"

Ye Fan's cauldron, which had been suspended above his head, flew out. Every wisp of mother qi falling from it could collapse heaven and earth. Now, it transformed into a magnificent mountain-like cauldron, soaring into the air, capable of shattering stars.

There was a tremendous crash. The divine armor flashed with brilliant light, protecting Liu Ye, but he still suffered a violent shock, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood as he was sent flying.

Although it was a Saint King Battle Armor forged from Great Luo Silver Essence, possessing peerless defensive power, Ye Fan's cauldron was made of even more terrifying material. A full-force collision could crack a large star.

This force, further amplified endlessly by Ye Fan's golden vital energy, truly meant slaying gods if they blocked, and slaughtering Buddhas if they obstructed!

Only because the Saint King Battle Armor shone brightly was it not reduced to dust like an ordinary Saint artifact would have been. Even so, Liu Ye was severely shaken.

"Good, you deal with him. That bastard's shell is too tough; its defense is unparalleled. I can't break through it!" the Dragon Horse shouted.

"You seek death!" the former commander Yan Yu lunged forward, intending to rescue Liu Ye. As the nephew of an enforcer, he absolutely had to be saved; it would bring great benefit to Yan Yu.

However, a large hand reached down and gripped him in its palm as if he were a chick. The Emissary of Reception acted coldly and mercilessly, imprisoning him.

The Dragon Horse turned back and angrily told Yan Yu, "Old geezer of the Yan clan, you want to save him to curry favor? Today, I will kill your great-grandson right before your eyes. I'll show you a bloody outcome."

Hoofbeats thundered as the Dragon Horse charged through Yan Manor, pursuing Yan Chifeng. Lightning flashed, thunder rolled, and it unleashed a frenzy, with blood spattering everywhere.

Yan Chifeng was no match and was quickly severely wounded. His chest was shattered by a single hoof kick from the Dragon Horse, bone fragments scattering as he fled in disarray.

The former commander Yan Yu cried out, but he couldn't break free from the Emissary of Reception's grasp. Powerless to stop any of it, he could only watch helplessly.

On the other side, Liu Ye wanted to escape. With everything exposed, he disregarded everything else, wanting only to flee the city immediately.

This person could be called a heaven-gifted prodigy on the path of cultivation. In the depths of the Ancient Starry Sky Road, he was rare for his age, truly a significant figure.

He fought Ye Fan, retreating as he battled. The Great Luo Silver Essence Armor on him shone brilliantly, but after successive impacts from the Myriad Manifestation Mother Qi Cauldron, he could no longer withstand it.

By this point, he had coughed up several mouthfuls of essence blood, his face extremely pale.

"Clang!"

Ye Fan wished to preserve this battle armor and not destroy it with his cauldron. He activated the 'Soldier Character Art,' and a piece of silver armor on Liu Ye's chest immediately vibrated, emitting dazzling light, and detached from his body.

"Pfft!"

Under the gaze of countless onlookers, Ye Fan's black hair danced wildly, two bolts of lightning shot from his pupils. Holding a black long spear, he thrust it into Liu Ye's chest, blood raining down as he impaled him in mid-air!
