Announcing It to the Primordial Wilderness, Holding the Human Race Accountable

"Senior Brother..."

"Y-You really intend to... severely punish Yao Ji?"

When she asked this, she still held on to the last sliver of hope in her heart.

Perhaps Senior Brother had merely been forced by Venerable Lord Yuanshi to say those words for appearances' sake.

Perhaps this was only a stopgap measure to placate the Sage.

However, Haotian's next words completely shattered that final sliver of hope.

Haotian slowly turned around.

The overwhelming fury on his face had vanished, replaced by a chilling, unnerving calm.

"This matter can no longer be concealed."

"Since it can't be concealed, then severe punishment is necessary."

Yaochi's heart sank.

She naturally understood this principle.

"But..."

She still wanted to say something, still wanted to make one final attempt.

However, Haotian cut her off directly.

"No buts!"

"Transmit My decree!"

"Today, the Human Race's Yang Tianyou, corrupt in mind, used despicable means and a deceitful scheme to seduce Yao Ji."

"Thus causing her to commit a grievous error, violate the Heavenly Rules, and shake the order of the Three Realms!"

"Such a lowly mortal is utterly guilty and must... be executed on the spot as a warning to others!"

"Yao Ji was seduced by a villain. Although her circumstances merit sympathy, she still violated the Heavenly Rules and cannot escape responsibility."

"She is to be seized immediately, escorted back to the Heavenly Court, and await judgment!"

"The wicked... child born of Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji bears the blood of both immortals and mortals. It should never have been allowed to exist and violates the laws of the Heavenly Dao and morality."

"To uphold the Heavenly Rules, it too must be executed on the spot to prevent future trouble!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, Yaochi felt ten thousand bolts of thunder explode
