Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

[Sister with cold legs: Hurry up and run! Who wouldn't run? I'm definitely running.]

[Uncle with Cold Legs: What the hell, where did this girl with cold legs come from?]

[Gokugen-kun: Don't rush.]

[Playing cards recklessly: Hey, stop guessing!]

The envoy hasn't even read the decree yet, and you're already stirring up trouble.

[A ruthless divination machine: Ayan is always prudent in her actions; the Immortal Boat Alliance would never do anything that would chill one's heart.]

I advise those who want to poach talent to give up.

[Did you rummage through the trash today? If you swing your hoe well enough, no corner is too big to dig up. Lord Fu Xuan, you better watch out!]

Fu Xuan raised her beautiful eyes and coldly glanced at Xing behind her: "Who are you telling to be careful?"

Xing hurriedly shifted the blame: "I was speaking on behalf of Xiao Sanyue."

The ten royal messengers slowly unfurled the brocade scroll and coughed twice: "Silence."

The entire hall fell silent once again.

The envoy's face was solemn, and his tone was measured and rhythmic: "Su Jinyan, receive the imperial decree."

"By the grace of the Ten Kings: The Dragon King has returned to the sea, the clan is in mourning, and the new king has just been established, governing with virtue and talent."

"Xianzhou Luofu Su Jinyan Taibu neglected his duties and overstepped his authority to interfere in politics."

"Effective immediately, he is relieved of his post as Grand Diviner—"

At this point, the envoy smiled slightly and paused deliberately.

Su Jinyan's expression remained calm, yet she seemed somewhat confused.

The dragon masters were overjoyed.

The Immortal Boat Alliance truly understands the importance of considering the bigger picture. Su Jinyan, that scoundrel, abused his power as a judge, and now he's getting his comeuppance.

Tao Ranlong became even more arrogant and suddenly pushed away the golden soul-reaping envoy beside him.

"Su Jinyan, you stubbornly plotted to harm the Vidyadhara Dragon Master, what is your punishment?"

Despite the swollen and bruised face and slurred speech of Master Taoran, the arrogance in his eyes remained undeniable.

As expected, fortunes change. Now Su Jinyan has been dismissed from his public office and can do nothing about us dragon masters.

Our chance to turn things around has come. We must seize this opportunity to punish Su Jinyan.

Su Jinyan sneered and slammed the gavel down, the sound like thunder.

"so what?!"

"Even if I lose my official position today because of this."

"And I will still behead you, you treacherous and disloyal Dragon Masters!"

"Since I am not an official of Luofu, but Xueyi Hanya is an envoy of the Ten Kings and has the authority to execute first and report later."

"Bring Huanxi, a criminal of the Ming clan, to the court!"

The golden messengers unanimously agreed and quickly brought forward Huanxi, a prisoner of the Chiming clan dressed in a white prison uniform and a close attendant of the Dragon Lord.

Before being escorted to the courtroom in the underworld, Huanxi remained calm and indifferent.

But when Huanxi saw the bloodstains on the dragon head guillotine and the executioner of Su Guanglong, she was shocked.

An indescribable fear caused Huanxi to scream.

"Huanxi?!"

Tao Ranlongshi shivered as a bone-chilling cold swept over his body.

He almost instinctively used the Cloud Chanting Technique, trying to escape from the Netherworld.

But the group of golden envoys reacted even faster.

The moment Tao Ranlongshi tried to escape, the Jin people's Soul Reapers swarmed him and pinned him to the ground.

"Let me go, let me go!"

"Are you plotting a rebellion in front of the envoy?"

Tao Ranlong struggled incessantly, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.

"Snow-clad crows, you are judges of the Ten Kings' Court, and you should obey the Ten Kings' edicts to punish criminals and bring the wicked to justice!"

"Are you going to let this heinous villain go unpunished?"

"If things continue like this, how can the Ten Kings' Court maintain its impartiality and authority?!"

Xueyi's beautiful eyes remained calm as she said in a deep voice, "We judges are indeed acting in accordance with the edicts of the Ten Kings."

The crow held the celestial pen of prophecy, striking it with a resounding thud:

"However, the conviction we judges hold in upholding the laws of the Alliance must supersede the Ten Kings' Edicts."

"This is precisely the teaching the Ten Kings gave to us judges when we first took up our posts."

"Today, even if my sister and I relinquish our positions as judges, we will still bring you dragon masters to justice!"

Having said that, Han Ya resolutely unfurled the scroll and read out the crimes committed by Tao Ran Long Shi.

"Your Excellency, they...they are plotting a rebellion!"

Tao Ranlongshi cried out in panic.

The remaining dragon masters echoed their sentiments, turning the courtroom into a chaotic scene.

As is widely known, the karmic judgments written by the Heavenly Pen of the Underworld are based on real crimes.

Once the crow has finished sentencing the sins, given Su Jinyan's personality, he will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Dragon Master Su Guang.

The envoy gave a sinister smile: "Aren't you all a little too impatient?"

"The Ten Kings' decrees have not yet been fully read aloud, so how can there be talk of rebellion?"

The group of dragon masters were stunned.

The Immortal Boat Alliance leadership held differing opinions on Su Jinyan's actions, splitting into two factions.

Conservatives believe that Su Jinyan did the right thing, that the execution was justified, and that this is the proper course of action.

Radicals, on the other hand, believe that Su Jinyan is too conservative.

Meanwhile, most of the dragon lords on the other immortal ships stood on the conservative side, firmly supporting Su Jinyan and showing absolutely no intention of favoring the Luofu Vidyadhara Dragon Master.

This is because the Vidyadharas of the Luofu Immortal Ship have gone too far.

If it weren't for the bond between their kin, the Dragon Lords would have loved to grind these treacherous Dragon Masters to dust.

The Dragon Masters' actions have had an extremely negative impact.

Subverting the Immortal Ship, plotting to seize power, and sowing discord among allies—any one of these crimes would be enough to send the Dragon Masters to reincarnation.

Once public opinion takes hold, it could easily put other Immortal Ships' Ming Clan in a passive position, alienating them from the Immortal Ship people and the Fox Clan.

As for removing Su Jinyan from his post, it was because the Ten Kings Office had a clear rule that judges of the underworld could not concurrently hold positions in the mortal world.

Therefore, if the ten kings wanted to appoint Su Jinyan to an official position, they had to first remove him from his position as Grand Diviner.

The messenger unfurled the brocade scroll and continued reading:

"However, Su Jinyan is exceptionally courageous and has a strong sense of righteousness. He has devoted himself wholeheartedly to Luofu Mountain and is quite capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities."

"Effective immediately, you are hereby appointed as Special Envoy of the Ten Kings of Luofu, with the title of 'Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil,' and in charge of the four departments of 'Detention, Locking, Punishment, and Interrogation.'"

"In case of any matter, one may act first and report later, as if the Ten Kings were personally present. So be it."

Su Jinyan's previous position did not have any real power, and it would be easy for him to be criticized if he rashly interfered in the affairs of other departments.

Now he is known as the "Special Envoy for Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil," but he truly holds the power of life and death.

Not to mention that Su Jinyan can act first and report later. If the Ten Kings were to come in person, even the Six Emperors of the Immortal Ship would have to cooperate with him.

puff-

After hearing the messenger read out the decrees of the ten kings.

Tao Ranlongshi collapsed to the ground, despair in his eyes.

The dragon masters who had stood up in the audience all collapsed to their knees.

It's over, it's over.

Prior to this, numerous dragon masters had speculated on countless possibilities.

The Immortal Boat Alliance might consider the alliance agreement and step in to protect Su Guang.

Perhaps the dragon lords on other immortal ships, out of consideration for being of the same race as the Vidyadharas, might send envoys to protect Su Guang.

The worst-case scenario is simply sacrificing the pawn to save the king, pushing out Su Guanglong Master as a scapegoat so that he can retain his memories and reincarnate.

But the dragon masters never expected that Su Jinyan would disregard the overall situation and forcibly cut off the head of the Su Guang dragon master.
