Death Sentence and the Third-Ring Mission

Seeing the Undying Venerable remain silent, the Youyuan Venerable chuckled softly, and then the seemingly man-made painting suddenly transformed back into a real starry sky.

Everyone was freed from the irresistible stillness.

The Undying Venerable turned to look at the Chiling clone: "King Juehun is, after all, a member of my Giant Axe Coliseum. As the headquarters Inspector, your cooperation with the Virtual Universe Company in arresting him is a serious dereliction of duty!"

Chiling clone's clone remained unmoved and respectfully said, "It is precisely because I am the Inspector that I cannot protect or shield someone as heinous as King Juehun. If the Undying Venerable has any objections to my handling of this matter, he may report it to my teacher. If my teacher wishes to punish me, I will have no objections."

The Undying Venerable's pupils contracted slightly. The Virtual Gold Master had always protected his disciples, from the previous Venerable Shihuo to the current Chiling. Was he really going to cause trouble right up to the Giant Axe Founder for the sake of the King Juehun?

Absolutely impossible.

As a disciple, the Undying Venerable knew the Giant Axe Founder's character all too well. He would never agree with the actions of the King Juehun, let alone protect him.

The reason why the King Juehun able to remain unscathed and unpunished in the past was simply because no one reported his actions to the Universe Master. As long as the Universe Master did not interfere, the Undying Venerable, the Universe Overlord and the disciple of the Giant Axe Founder, could almost rule the Giant Axe Coliseum with his own hands.

To his utter surprise, he encountered two unreasonable little monsters, each with a powerful background. Even the renowned Undying Venerable was helpless against them. Even if Youyuan Venerable hadn't come, he would never have dared to kill Jiang Yao; at most, he would have just taught him a lesson.

"Very well!" The Undying Venerable rolled his eyes, bound the terrified King Juehun with a vine, and presented him to Jiang Yao. He then let out another strange, grating laugh, "King Juehun is now in your hands. It was my fault for not disciplining him properly. He has indeed committed many violations of the laws of the Universe Country. As for how many years he will be imprisoned, it is all up to you."

Jiang Yao, who had already become the focus of everyone's attention, looked indifferently at the King Juehun who was brought before him.

Since the arrival of Youyuan Venerable, King Juehun has truly realized that his unbridled power is utterly useless in front of this brat who is not even Immortal God.

The notoriously King Juehun showed no sign of weakness or pleading for mercy. The chill in his crimson eyes intensified, and he secretly vowed that whether it was a thousand or ten thousand epochs later, once he was released from prison, he would definitely teach Jiang Yao a lesson.

Even if Jiang Yao had already become King-level Immortal by then, he would still be a thorn in the side of the Alien Races. Don't let him find an opportunity!

Even if he couldn't get revenge on Jiang Yao right away, Jiang Yao still had his clansmen, offspring, and disciples. He would always find an opportunity. At this moment, he actually understood the resentment that King Yanzhu had when he mentioned King Zhenyan during a conversation at a banquet. Anyone would never let such humiliation go unpunished.

Jiang Yao looked at the deep-seated hatred in King Juehun's bloodshot eyes and sneered inwardly. As expected of a top-tier spoiled brat, he actually revealed such hatred without reservation. In a way, the powerhouses who "devour the universe" are quite "naive." Have they never considered that he might sentence him to death?

That's true. Sentencing a King-level Immortal death is something that has never happened before in the Xuanshang Universe Country.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes. "King Juehun, I judge you—"

Death penalty!"

"What?!"

The King Juehun suddenly looked up, and the resentment in his scarlet eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only disbelief and madness.

Everyone was horrified and stared at Jiang Yao in shock. Jiang Yao had indeed said, "If anyone resists, kill them without mercy!" But everyone thought it was just a threatening statement to try and capture the King Juehun.

How dare Jiang Yao, a non- Immortal God, sentence a King-level Immortal to death?!

The Undying Venerable's eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness.

Looking into Jiang Yao's resolute and murderous gaze, King Juehun's eyes were instantly filled with madness.

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, King Juehun transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and rushed directly towards Jiang Yao.

You have no right to kill me!

The moment he approached Jiang Yao, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and the King Juehun actually chose to self-destruct.

"Snort."

Without even moving his body, Youyuan Venerable caused the self-destructing King Juehun to fall into stillness, like a painting. Then, his entire body turned into dust as space shattered, and even became a stream of particles.

Even the Undying Body King Juehun couldn't reconstitute his divine body; it was as if all the Soul Seal that had been integrated into every cell of his divine body were wiped clean in an instant.

Silence.

The entire starry sky was silent.

Everyone stared in horror at the spot where King Juehun had died.

"Dare to attack the Inspector Envoy the Virtual Universe Company? He deserves to die! Good! Haha, good!" After praising him, the Undying Venerable's expression turned indifferent. He glanced at Jiang Yao with his eerie green eyes, and his towering figure vanished in an instant.

After a long silence, the Talun Race, Vajra Race, and Bihe Race King-level Immortal, respectfully bowed to Youyuan Venerable and left in a somewhat flustered manner.

Youyuan Venerable glanced at Chiling clone for a moment, then sighed, "It seems the relationship between the two of you hasn't been affected."

Given Youyuan Venerable's status, he would naturally know that Chiling was a Luoxiao Race genius whom Jiang Yao had once saved in the Nine Star Sea of the Giant Axe Secret Realm.

It is quite rare that these two super geniuses, who rose to prominence one after the other and belonged to two different major forces, maintained a fairly good relationship. Usually, geniuses are arrogant and conceited.

Jiang Yao and Chiling clone exchanged a glance, smiled, and said nothing.

To make the assistance provided by Chiling clone more believable, Jiang Yao himself even sent Chiling clone a detailed email in advance, explaining the crimes committed by King Juehun, creating the impression that Chiling clone had just taken Inspector and, upon receiving an email from his former benefactor, immediately decided to come to Xuanshang Universe Country to cooperate in capturing King Juehun.

If it weren't for Chiling clone directly defining King Juehun in the official capacity of the Giant Axe Coliseum Headquarters Inspector, the Undying Venerable would never have backed down so easily, and it might even have triggered a subsequent confrontation between the two major forces. Conflicts between the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Coliseum are not uncommon.

"King Juehun is dealt with, let's leave the Xuanshang Universe Country quickly." Youyuan Venerable looked at Chiling clone and snorted, "Jiang Yao is already troublesome enough, but you're even more troublesome. If the two of you work together, you'll have to gather all the Alien Race assassins. I can't handle that."

After Chiling clone respectfully bowed and left, Youyuan Venerable looked at Jiang Yao and laughed, "You've got guts! You actually dared to sentence King Juehun to death!"

Jiang Yao replied, "Since the second mission clearly states that I can choose a challenge mission, capture the King Juehun, and the trial outcome includes a death sentence, why wouldn't I dare to do it?"

Youyuan Venerable sighed, "You do have a similar personality to that guy Guluo. You hate evil and are bold and decisive. However, as long as the Undying Venerable is around, there is a possibility that King Juehun could be resurrected. Making an enemy with such a powerful background and difficult to eradicate is like having an inescapable ghost. Given the chance, they will bite you hard. Even if they can't do anything to you, they will cause trouble for your clansmen, offspring, or disciples. Guluo suffered from this back then."

Youyuan Venerable, the Xuanshang Universe Lord, and Guluo Venerable are considered to be bosom friends, forming a fairly large faction within the Virtual Universe Company.

Jiang Yao nodded to indicate that he understood. He naturally knew this principle; many of the troubles Luo Feng would encounter in the future were brought about by the King Zhenyan.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will make the resurrection of the King Juehun impossible." Jiang Yao's tone was calm but resolute.

"Oh? So confident?"

Youyuan Venerable's eyes shone brightly. Jiang Yao's words clearly did not mean that he would kill King Juehun again as soon as he was resurrected. Rather, he was confident that his strength could grow rapidly to the point that the Universe Master who were influenced by the Undying Venerable and planned to resurrect King Juehun would have to consider Jiang Yao and give up. After all, the resurrection of King Level was concentrated in a certain batch and could not be achieved at any time.

Even if one were to be Invincible King-level, none of them would have the authority to make the Universe Master hesitate in the slightest.

"Then I'll wait and see." Youyuan Venerable said jokingly, then said seriously, "You should be careful. Although the points mission gave you the option to sentence King Juehun to death, it does not mean that the Judgment Committee wants you to choose that. The meaning of King-level Immortal is different. It is a powerful person who has the potential to become Universe Venerable."

"It's not easy for Alien Race to kill a human King- King-level expert. What you're doing is causing non-combat casualties among human King-level -King-level experts, especially those with outstanding talent. This needlessly damages humanity's potential and future, which is something many Universe Venerable would not agree with."

"Normally, those who are granted the King-level Immortal will not be executed unless they have committed treason. They will only be sentenced to imprisonment or to perform meritorious service to atone for their crimes."

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "How the Judgment Committee choose to evaluate me is their business. I will only follow my heart and do what I should do."

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region, Jiang Yao's manor.

Having gained full authority to deploy the Xuanshang Branch of the Virtual Universe Company and the army of the Universe Country, Jiang Yao finally received a new email after his army captured and sentenced all 11 of the escaped King Juehun's subordinates to death. He gently opened the email titled "Second Ring Mission Completion Status" --

"You have completed both the basic and challenge tasks of the second stage, which is considered the highest score. Based on the evaluation of many members, Jiang Yao, your basic task completion rate is 100%, which earns you 2 million points; your challenge task completion rate is 50%, which earns you 5 million points, qualifying you for the third stage task."

"50%?" Jiang Yao frowned and began to read the comments.

"Comment: As a disciple of the Chaos City Lord and a future high-ranking member of the Virtual Universe Company and even the entire Human Race, you have been influenced by excessive emotions and have failed to consider the issue from the perspective of the greatest interests of the Human Race. The King Juehun's large-scale breeding of slaves to refine Blood Source Liquid and the slaughter of trillions of low-level human slaves have damaged the overall potential and possibilities of humanity. He needs to be severely punished to deter others. Therefore, the execution of 11 Immortal God is a reasonable course of action."

"However, King Juehun is King-level Immortal, and some of his potential remains unrealized. He has a slight possibility of becoming Universe Venerable in the future. Executing him weakens humanity's potential and possibility, causing irreparable damage to the Human Race. The handling of this matter was unreasonable. I hope you can learn from this lesson and consider the overall interests of the Human Race in future missions."

In the Taihuan Token, Bajie flapped his ears, puzzled, and asked, "Since killing King Juehun is an irreparable loss, why would the Virtual Universe Company dare to delegate authority to you, giving you such full choice in this part of the mission?"

Jiang Yao sneered, "Because if we revive King Juehun, there will be no irreparable loss."

After a cold laugh, Jiang Yao continued reading the emails for the third round of the mission.

"Mission Details: The Yongwu Race is a vassal race of humanity, residing in the Yuanhua Secret Realm. They possess the clan's treasured Jialong Tree and are at the very end of the Blood Source Liquid profit chain. Jiang Yao, you are hereby appointed as the Special Envoy of the Virtual Universe Company to enter the Yuanhua Secret Realm and carry out necessary punishment and deterrence against the Yongwu Race..."

Really...

Jiang Yao was not surprised at all. The main purpose of the Blood Source Liquid extracted by King Juehun and others was to exchange Blood Essence Fruit and Blood Abyss Fruit with the Yongwu Race. It was impossible for the Yongwu Race not to know the source of the Blood Source Liquid.

"Well, we need to make some preparations before going to the Yuanhua Secret Realm, but let's not rush. Right now, the most important thing is to carry out a major purge in the Xuanshang Universe Country. Anyone or any force that uses humans to extract Blood Source Liquid, as well as any other cruel acts of slaughtering low-level humans, must be punished, regardless of their bloodline or race, or who is backing them!"
