Chapter 2307 Both Teacher and Disciple Are Bandits, Internal Dispute Among the Three Great Adjudicators
The Goldwing Monarch turned around stiffly and looked at the Tempest King. His heart was pounding, but he pretended to be calm as he said, "What else do you want, Tempest King? I"ll have you know, I"m an Enforcer of the Supreme Council. Watch yourself."
"An Enforcer? Hmph, even an Enforcer will have to pay the price for wis.h.i.+ng to harm my Honorable Teacher." The Tempest King sneered, her gaze cold.
That was when the Goldwing Monarch recalled the Tempest King going all out to protect her Honorable Teacher.
She even dared to stand up to an Adjudicator for Chu Kuangren, let alone an Enforcer like him.
"What do you want?"
"Leave behind every possession you have on you right now and open up your personal storage dimension. Otherwise, I wouldn"t mind crippling you on the spot!"
"That"s too much!"
"Well…"
The Tempest King narrowed her eyes menacingly.
The Goldwing Monarch felt threatened by her. If he did not do as she asked, he was sure he would be crippled the next second.
He did not doubt the Tempest King"s ability to do so as well.
After all, even the Adjudicators had to act with caution before her presence.
He quickly took out all his possessions and opened his personal storage dimension for the Tempest King to browse through. She took all the treasures, Great Dao fragments, and the like. Not even a single Great Dao fragment was left behind.
The Goldwing Monarch was devastated.
If he had known earlier, he would have never come to carry out the task.
The Tempest King was nothing but a bandit.
"Honorable Teacher, take them. I came in a hurry here and didn"t have time to bring any gifts, so please accept these items instead," the Tempest King said.
"Oh, how thoughtful of you." Chu Kuangren laughed.
Not far away, the Divine Sword Palace Leader, Strength Buddha, and others were planning to leave when spiritual qi suddenly surged from the surroundings and locked onto them.
Despite being a Monarch, even they felt a chill run down their spine.
Chu Kuangren looked at them and said indifferently, "Ladies and gentlemen, aren"t you all a little naïve to think you can leave after targeting me?"
"What do you want?"
"You"ve seen what the Enforcer has done, so just do the same."
"You…"
The Divine Sword Palace Leader and others wanted to resist.
However, the surrounding spiritual qi surged more violently. As if the weight of thousands of divine mountains were upon them, their knees turned weak, and they almost fell to the ground.
A woman in yellow robes holding a paper umbrella slowly approached.
"Heavenly Sovereign, you should give us an explanation."
It was the Human Empress.
The three Adjudicators had gathered.
This time, it was their true selves and not their willpower apparitions.
Their auras continued to collide in the dimension, and shockingly powerful Daoist law energies intertwined as they continued to be at odds.
The auras released could easily kill any ordinary Monarch.
"I"ve made a lapse in judgment this time," the Heavenly Sovereign replied.
"Is that what you call an explanation? Where"s the sincerity?"
The Earthen Monarch"s expression turned grim. He raised his hand, gathering his Daoist law energy to form a divine mountain that he tossed directly at the Heavenly Sovereign.
Although it was only a simple attack from the Earthen Monarch, the energy contained within it was terrifyingly powerful.
Even if ten Divine Sword Palace Rulers attacked with their full powers, it would pale in comparison.
The golden light around the Heavenly Sovereign trembled and automatically protected him by blocking the divine mountain from the Earthen Monarch. He said, "Please calm down, Earthen Monarch."
"Heavenly Sovereign, regarding Chu Kuangren"s matter, why did you issue an execution order directly to the Goldwing Monarch without our consent?" the Human Empress asked indifferently.
However, what she said shocked the entire Supreme Council.
After all, any crucial matter regarding humanity must be discussed between the three great Adjudicators before a final decision could be made.
When it came to Chu Kuangren"s matter this time, the Heavenly Sovereign skipped that process, and it was a first in history.
"I believed Chu Kuangren killing so many Monarch Seeds had severely affected the future of humanity. Besides, both of you were in closed-door meditation, so I went and told the Goldwing Monarch to deal with it," the Heavenly Sovereign explained.
"Nonsense. Chu Kuangren is ranked first on the Divine Daoist Leaderboard. No matter how many Monarch Seeds he has killed, do you think you, as an Adjudicator, should"ve decided without investigating the matter and not getting our consent? "Just look at what happened today. A hero of the human race was almost treated as a criminal by the Supreme Council. Now that you"ve done something like this, how will the Supreme Council continue to do its job in the future?"
The Earthen Monarch became more enraged the more he spoke.
Back at the Human Ancestral Land, he held back his anger.
However, he could not help it anymore.
After what happened, the Supreme Council"s reputation among the human race would plummet.
How would everyone still trust them after this?
"I told you. I made a lapse in judgment today, and it was merely an accident," the Heavenly Sovereign said.
"This is the first time an accident like this has happened in years. That child"s name is Chu Kuangren, right? Is there something about him you"re afraid of?" The Human Empress stared intently at the Heavenly Sovereign.
The temperature in the atmosphere dropped, and everything fell silent.
The Earthen Monarch, too, looked at the Heavenly Sovereign, waiting for an answer.
