"This is merely the Heaven-Viewing Mirror Projection. I have no need to bow before it. Dragon Race Law requires respect for the Dragon Court and the Censorate, and for the sages and Dragon Emperors. Not a single provision requires us to bow before a supreme treasure. You will pay a price for calling me insolent," Fang Yun said.

Ao Jue gave a cold smile. "Out of respect for your position as Literary Star Dragon Noble, I have yielded time and again. Yet you continually boast without shame, your words and deeds far removed from what a Literary Star Dragon Noble should display. I now represent the Western Sea Dragon Sage. Since you disrespect the Dragon Race's supreme treasure, I have every right to rebuke you!"

Fang Yun ignored Ao Jue and looked toward Ao You, the Dragon Emperor of the Northern Sea. "What do you intend by bringing out the Heaven-Viewing Mirror Projection?"

Ao You answered respectfully, "Nothing beyond verifying the truth of your words. At present, only the Heaven-Viewing Mirror can determine whether what you said is true, whether it concerns the Dragon Emperor's secrets, whether it involves eleven Half-Sages, and whether there truly is evidence that the Flood Dragon Sage intended to kill you!"

"Without a Dragon Court Edict, you would use the Heaven-Viewing Mirror to inflict private punishment and harm the Literary Star Dragon Noble. If you truly intend to do this, do you not fear punishment from the Dragon Court?" Fang Yun asked gravely.

The many members of the Water Race laughed, making no effort to conceal the contempt in their voices.

"The Dragon Court? It has long had no one presiding over it, and no one knows where in space and time Dragon City lies. Even the sages of the Myriad Worlds cannot find it.
