The Antarctic Immortal slowly raised his hand.
The Yuqing Dharma Seal emerged from his sleeve once more.
White light spread out, bearing down on the bluestone platform.
The aura Yuanshi Tianzun had left within the Seal descended, turning the surface of the East Sea white inch by inch.
The Antarctic Immortal lowered his voice.
"This man is implicated in Jade Emptiness affairs."
"I must take him back to Kunlun."
Zhao Xuan looked at him.
"He nearly died at your hands just now."
The Antarctic Immortal said:
"Jade Emptiness will judge him."
Holy Mother Guiling stepped forward.
"And after the trial? Burn him to ashes?"
The Antarctic Immortal raised his eyes.
"Gui Ling, it is not your turn to speak here."
Magical power erupted in Holy Mother Guiling's palm on the spot.
Holy Mother Jinling held her shoulder.
"Not yet."
Gui Ling gritted her teeth.
"He tried to silence the witness right in front of us!"
"I know."
Holy Mother Jinling looked ahead.
"Let Duobao handle it."
Gui Ling froze.
Daoist Duobao had already walked in front of Zhao Xuan.
He walked neither quickly nor heavily.
Yet with every step forward, the treasure light within his sleeves grew brighter.
At last, he stood between the Antarctic Immortal and Zhao Xuan, blocking the Yuqing Dharma Seal.
The Antarctic Immortal's gaze grew colder.
"Duobao, do you truly mean to stop me?"
Daoist Duobao raised his hand.
A Seven-Story Treasure Pagoda flew out and hovered above the bluestone platform.
Golden Light streamed down from the Pagoda, sheltering the Gray-Clothed Man, the Talisman Order, the Flying Letter, and the Counterfeit Order within it.
"You cannot take the man."
"You cannot take the evidence."
"And you certainly cannot take our Senior Disciple Brother away."
The Antarctic Immortal's expression darkened completely.
"You think you can stop me?"
