Colluding With Otherworldly Demonic Evil, Do You Know Your Crime?
"Hou Yi, Chang'e, what else do you know?"
The Jade Emperor asked.
Upon hearing this, Chang'e and Hou Yi exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Great Heavenly Venerable, it's all her doing! She's the Jade Pool Empress! It turns out she's in cahoots with Qin Hao; she's been secretly grooming Qin Hao."
"Oh! Empress, is that so?"
Upon seeing this, the Empress hurriedly said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, I am innocent! Today, Chang'e and Hou Yi suddenly came to my Jade Pool cause trouble, saying they wanted to destroy it, so..."
And so, the Empress told the Jade Emperor everything that had happened.
Of course, regarding her relationship with Qin Hao, she only said that Qin Hao was originally her disciple, but she refused to acknowledge it before because Qin Hao's talent was too terrifying.
"Haha, I didn't expect this. So this young friend is a disciple of the Jade Pool Holy Land. Truly, his talent is extraordinary. However, how could your Jade Pool suddenly produce such a gifted disciple, and have kept him hidden for so long? Jade Pool Empress, what is your punishment?"
The Jade Emperor questioned the Empress.
Upon seeing this, the Empress immediately knelt down and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, I, Jade Pool, confess my sins. Please, Great Heavenly Venerable, spare all my Jade Pool and punish me instead!"
'You scoundrel, this is all I can do for you. I hope these old foxes will let Jade Pool and you go!'
At this moment, Chang'e quickly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Empress is lying. My husband and I just heard Qin Hao call her 'wife' himself. Their relationship must be quite special!"
"Hmm! You heard everything, didn't you, Jade Pool Empress? What's your explanation?"
'Hmph! I never expected that your Jade Pool would secretly subdue and cultivate this genius. It seems Jade Pool no longer needs to exist.'
The Jade Emperor looked at the Empress with a gloomy expression.
"Great Heavenly Venerable, I have not lied in the slightest. Qin Hao is truly just my disciple. I never expected him to possess such astonishing talent. Furthermore, my Jade Pool is absolutely loyal to the Lingxiao Hall and has no disloyalty whatsoever. I beg the Great Heavenly Venerable to investigate thoroughly!"
"Hmph! Jade Pool Empress, you still dare to deny it? That scoundrel Qin Hao called you 'wife' himself. My wife and I both heard it. Moreover, he said he would break through to the Martial Emperor 100th Tier in a single day and then wipe out this Primordial Continent. My wife and I both heard it. Do you still want to deny it?"
"You, your Guanghan Palace, have no shame! You are the ones who attacked my Jade Pool today, and now you're still spouting nonsense in front of the Great Heavenly Venerable?"
The Empress glared angrily at Chang'e and Hou Yi, and roared.
"Hmph, Jade Pool Empress, you and Qin Hao have probably been plotting this for a long time! Great Heavenly Venerable, please give the order, my Guanghan Palace is willing to destroy Jade Pool!"
"Chang'e, do you dare?"
"Enough, Jade Pool Empress! I have thoroughly investigated Qin Hao. He is not from our Kaiyuan Universe at all. He is very likely a demon from another world. Your Jade Pool Holy Land is actually colluding with demons. What explanation do you have?"
"What? No, impossible, how could he...?"
"Hmph, what's impossible about that? For so many years, your Jade Pool has been at the bottom in strength, and you feel the resource allocation is unfair. You want to collude with otherworldly demons to eliminate us? We can understand that!"
Hou Yi said with a smile.
"Indeed! The Empress of Jade Pool Holy Land secretly colluded with demons from another world, attempting to invade my Kaiyuan Universe. Fortunately, we have discovered them!"
"No, Great Heavenly Venerable, it's not like that, it's not..."
"Hmph! Still trying to deny it? Look at that demon. If he weren't from another world, why would the Heavenly Tribulation be so terrifying, trying to kill him?"
Chang'e seized the opportunity to speak.
"Excellent! Taibai, issue the order: the Jade Pool Holy Land has colluded with demons from another world. From this day forward, it will cease to exist. Everyone, who wants to destroy the Jade Pool Holy Land for me?"
The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes and glanced at the crowd.
As expected, neither Taishang Laojun of the Tusita Palace nor Tathagata of Vulture Peak spoke, leaving only minor powers like Guanghan Palace.
Only then did the Jade Emperor look with satisfaction at the ministers in the Lingxiao Hall.
When Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, saw that his superior was looking at him, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, your subject is willing to lead troops to destroy this Jade Pool Holy Land!"
"Hmm! Very good. Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, hereby appoint you as the Demon-Slaying Great General. Immediately lead Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, Erlang Shen, and other heavenly soldiers and generals to sweep away evil spirits!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Go!
"Yes!"
After saying that, Heavenly King Li disappeared.
The Tathagata of Vulture Peak looked extremely displeased at that moment.
Not only him, but even the Martial Emperor of various major forces such as Guanyin and Guanghan Palace looked grim at this moment.
But they dared not say anything?
At this moment, Taishang Laojun in the Tusita Palace remained calm, showing neither sorrow nor joy, as he carefully examined Qin Hao, who was still Tribulation Transcendence.
"Great Heavenly Venerable, please..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Jade Emperor casually waved his hand, and the Empress was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, heading straight for Qin Hao's Thunder Tribulation area.
"Hmph! Still dare to argue? Daring to collude with demons from another world, this is your fate!"
"Puff!"
The Empress coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with her internal organs and continued flying backwards towards the minefield.
He tried to stop it, but was horrified to discover that his Spiritual Power had been imprisoned by the Jade Emperor.
'Am I really going to die like this?'
The Empress looked at the terrifying lightning in the sky and closed her eyes.
At this moment, they are in the center of a massive vortex of spiritual energy and a terrifying Thunder Tribulation.
Qin Hao was surrounded by a colorful halo, which blocked even the terrifying lightning that struck him.
From Qin Hao's perspective, the gates of the Soul-Quiescence Palace were being violently rammed at that moment.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A series of booming sounds emanated from the gates of the Soul-Quiescence Palace.
'Just a little bit more! With a little more effort, I'll be able to successfully open the Soul-Quiescence Palace. Then, all this heavenly Thunder Tribulation will become my power, aiding my cultivation, haha!'
As he spoke, Qin Hao suddenly unleashed a burst of energy radiating colorful light, slamming into the gates of the Soul-Quiescence Palace.
"When!"
Finally, with this impact, the palace gate opened a narrow crack.
Suddenly, a large amount of gas emanated from the crack, radiating a seven-colored halo.
"It's a success! It's a success!"
Outside, Qin Hao's eyes snapped open, and he shouted excitedly!
At this moment, the Empress was only 10 meters away from the terrifying Thunder Tribulation zone...
9 meters, 8 meters, 7 meters...1 meter.
Qin Hao noticed it instantly, so he casually waved his hand, and instantly, a colorful halo appeared around the Empress the moment she entered the minefield.
At this moment, 10 miles away, the Jade Emperor and his entourage were once again shocked.
"Strange? What is that colorful halo? It actually managed to keep the terrifying Thunder Tribulation at bay?"
Hou Yi asked with a puzzled look.
At that moment, in the minefield, Qin Hao casually waved his hand at the Empress.
In an instant, the Empress flew rapidly towards Qin Hao.
The Empress also felt a tremendous force pulling her, so she opened her eyes and found herself in a lightning-prone area. However, she was not forced to Tribulation Transcendence and be struck by lightning; she was still perfectly fine.
