Haotian: I Was Only Putting on an Act-Why Did You Take It Seriously? Three Sages Gather at Lingxiao Treasure Hall!

Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The atmosphere was solemn and dignified, yet undercurrents surged beneath the surface.

Taibai Jinxing led the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, escorting Yao Ji and her three children into the hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has fortunately fulfilled his mission."

"I have captured the guilty immortal Yao Ji, along with those three audacious rebels, and brought them all to justice!"

"Please pass judgment, Your Majesty!"

Taibai Jinxing bowed as he delivered his report, then retreated to the side, keeping his eyes lowered and his mind composed, as still as a statue.

Guang Chengzi and Immortal Official Nanji stood nearby, faint smiles playing at the corners of their mouths.

In their eyes, now that the people had been brought back, the matter was already settled.

Haotian sat upon the imperial throne, his face expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger.

His gaze slowly swept over the four people below the steps, whose Magic Power had been sealed.

At last, it landed on Yao Ji, whose face was deathly pale and whose eyes were filled with despair.

"Yao Ji."

"You secretly fled Peach Mountain. Do you know your crime?"

Yao Ji's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly.

She raised her head and saw the two familiar figures in the hall—Guang Chengzi and Immortal Official Nanji.

The last trace of hope in her heart shattered completely.

With members of the Chan Sect present, there was no possibility of resolving today's matter peacefully.

She gave a desolate smile and bowed deeply to Haotian.

"Yao Ji... knows her crime."

"Yao Ji is willing to accept any punishment. I only ask Your Majesty... not to make things difficult for my three children."

"They are innocent."

Haotian looked at Yao Ji, his face still wearing the majesty and coldness of an emperor.
