111: Nine Heavens Dragon Edict (Two-in-One)
"I want to report! I want to report!"
Sisi rushed forward, pushing aside the guards blocking her path.
Viscount Spike first stared at Sisi's chest, then her face, and raised an eyebrow, asking, "And who are you? Who are you here to report?"
Sisi bowed and said excitedly, "I am Sisi, a Spirit Master of Spirit Hall! I want to report the Hall Master of Nuoding City's Spirit Hall!"
A glint flashed in Viscount Spike's eyes as he straightened his posture.
"Speak! What are you reporting him for?!"
"He is going to rebel!!!"
Sisi shouted loudly.
Viscount Spike was stunned, then panic set in.
Dragging Spirit Hall into a rebellion wouldn't bring any merit; instead, it might drag him down as well!
He even suspected whether this woman was sent by City Lord Xiao to frame him!
Before Viscount Spike could speak, Sisi hurriedly continued:
"Hall Master Su Yuntao is a spy for the Azure Dragon Temple! He has abandoned the faith of Spirit Hall! He no longer reveres the God of Angels! For the Azure Dragon Temple's conspiracy, he has colluded with City Lord Xiao, attempting to overthrow the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"I have evidence! They have had many transactions!"
Sisi took out a stack of documents from her bosom.
The audience below couldn't help but boil with excitement upon seeing this.
The execution ground was truly lively today!
First, the man to be beheaded chickened out and started acting crazy.
And now someone else came to report Spirit Hall!
If the report was successful, would Viscount Spike have to fight Spirit Hall?
Immediately, many people who loved a good spectacle began instigating, hoping for a battle to break out.
Hu Liena's face was gloomy. "Are these guys all useless...?"
Yan stroked his chin, looking at Sisi's back, and smiled. "Could that Hall Master really be a spy for the Azure Dragon Temple?"
A Spirit Master from Spirit Hall whispered, "We can't just sit by and watch; we have to find a way to silence that woman, or Spirit Hall will be..."
Before he could finish, Viscount Spike suddenly spoke.
"Nonsense! You crazy woman, you must have been mistreated in Spirit Hall and came here to cause trouble with the intention of dragging everyone down with you! Get out, get out, get out...!"
Viscount Spike said irritably.
"No! Su Yuntao really is colluding with the Azure Dragon Temple! They even killed nobles! The Azure Dragon Temple has even killed over a hundred nobles..."
Sisi was still shouting, struggling with the guards and refusing to leave the stage.
Viscount Spike's expression was incredibly gloomy.
If he had the ability to take down the Azure Dragon Temple, he wouldn't hesitate.
The problem was, he knew how powerful the Azure Dragon Temple was.
Even Emperor Xue Ye hadn't said how to punish the Azure Dragon Temple; was he supposed to do it?
Wasn't that just seeking death?!
"Hurry up and take her away!" Viscount Spike roared.
Immediately, two Spirit Masters stepped forward, released their Spirits, and prepared to escort Sisi away.
"You can't treat me like this...!"
Sisi shouted angrily, "I see! Even you are colluding with the Azure Dragon Temple! You..."
At this moment, Su Yuntao finally ran up. Seeing Sisi still shouting, he directly possessed his Spirit, extended his wolf claws from behind, and pierced through the back of Sisi's heart.
Pfft...!!!
Sisi's voice came to an abrupt halt, and blood pooled at her back.
!!! Sisi looked at Su Yuntao in disbelief. She was actually being killed by Su Yuntao?!
Su Yuntao looked coldly at Sisi, held her body, and said to Viscount Spike:
"City Lord, this woman is a lunatic talking nonsense. I hope you don't mind!"
Viscount Spike nodded and smiled. "Of course, I won't listen to a lunatic! How could anyone think of overthrowing the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"No matter how powerful the Azure Dragon Temple is, do they really want to oppose the Heaven Dou Empire? With those two tiny kids?"
Viscount Spike smiled, making a joke.
Su Yuntao didn't laugh; he stared at Viscount Spike, his expression shifting.
Being stared at, Viscount Spike felt a pang of panic. Was this guy planning something against him?
Rumble...!!!
Just then, a sudden clap of thunder resounded in the sky.
The sky was clear for ten thousand miles, with not a single cloud in sight... "What's going on?" Viscount Spike frowned.
The surrounding nobles' faces all changed drastically. Some of the more cowardly ones crawled under tables, while others ran into the crowd.
The commoners, seeing this, all burst into joyful laughter.
"Praise the Azure Dragon Divine Lord!"
"Is the Azure Dragon Divine Lord about to manifest? I think you'd better run! Don't get struck by the Divine Lord's heavenly lightning later!"
"Those with a guilty conscience are the ones who have done bad things!"
"..."
The commoners immediately began discussing excitedly.
Viscount Spike frowned irritably; this situation was too strange.
He didn't dare kill Yu Xiaogang, who was to be executed.
Sisi, who came to inform, was killed by Spirit Hall Master Su Yuntao, and he didn't dare investigate.
Now that thunder had crashed, the nobles were all terrified.
Wait, Nuoding City is just a remote little city; why are there so many bizarre occurrences?
"Look... it's raining! Golden rain!"
"It must be the Divine Lord manifesting! He has sent down sweet rain for us!"
"Look at the sky, it's a golden dragon! That must be the Divine Lord!"
"..."
Someone shouted, reaching out to embrace the light rain, while kneeling on the ground.
More people knelt down, their expressions devout.
Hu Liena and the others stood out like cranes among chickens.
Yan said in surprise, "Why is it like this? Even the God of Angels couldn't make these people kneel down directly, right?"
"Should we kneel? Look at those nobles, they seem very scared. Could we be punished if we don't kneel?"
Yan was starting to panic.
He was brave, but he didn't dare oppose a god!
Hu Liena frowned and glared at him. "What stupid things are you saying! We only kneel to the God of Angels! What do other gods have to do with us?!"
"It's just a small vision; who couldn't pull that off?"
Hu Liena said stubbornly.
Yan was scolded into silence.
Suddenly, he showed surprise again, reaching out to catch the light rain, and said excitedly, "This rain isn't right! The negative effects on my Soul Power have been lessened! This isn't ordinary rain!"
Xie Yue also said, "Exactly! Nana, look at the scar on my arm; it fell off so quickly!"
More and more people discovered the miraculous nature of the light rain.
This encounter with light had an excellent healing effect on both their bodies and Spirits.
Hu Liena's expression shifted. "This... this..."
Some Spirit Hall Spirit Masters were now starting to waver.
Should they really not kneel?
Wouldn't they be too ignorant of the situation?
At this moment, more and more cheers rang out.
Over ninety percent of the people around the field had knelt down.
Even Yu Xiaogang on the execution platform, bathed in this rain, couldn't help but calm down, and then realized what a stupid thing he had done.
His ordinary face suddenly turned incredibly red.
He wished he could faint right now!
What on earth had he done?!
Now he would definitely become a clown in the eyes of others!
The Family would view him even more as a stain!
Bibi Dong would probably look down on him even more, right?
Isn't this worse than death?!
Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes and wailed.
The World's malice toward him was too great!
Is this the curse of a Genius?!
In his despair, Yu Xiaogang suddenly heard the sound of wind.
Immediately after, an exclamation rang out beside him.
He opened his eyes; the executioner and guards beside him had been kicked off.
City Lord Xiao came up with several Spirit Masters and was untying his ropes.
"No... don't save me!"
Yu Xiaogang cried out in alarm.
Dammit, Viscount Spike had already let him go.
If he was rescued by City Lord Xiao, wouldn't that confirm him as a rebel?
He wasn't stupid!
City Lord Xiao patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and said loudly, "Good brother! You've suffered! Our great cause of petitioning for the people and acting for Heaven has not yet been completed; how could we let you die halfway?!"
"I'm not..."
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth to speak but was patted by City Lord Xiao until he lost his breath.
"Don't be nervous, Master Yu! We will never abandon you!" City Lord Xiao said seriously.
"I..."
Yu Xiaogang cried. It was over. Now it was like mud falling into his pants—even if it wasn't crap, it looked like it!
City Lord Xiao turned back to look at the rostrum and said loudly to Viscount Spike:
"Viscount Spike! I know you! You are a wise man! Look at the ugly behavior of those nobles around you when they heard the thunder—don't you know what they've done? They treat human life like grass! They plunder and seize! They are the greatest pests of this World!"
"You say you want to judge me, this sinner, then I tell you now: do you dare to judge the crimes of those nobles?!"
"The Toronto Family! The third son kidnapped a common woman and raped her to death!"
"..."
City Lord Xiao shouted and cursed, reading out the crimes of each noble.
The nobles whose names were called all turned red in the face.
Although the crimes were not capital offenses and the maximum punishment would only be a fine, being exposed in public was extremely humiliating!
Viscount Spike narrowed his eyes and scanned the area.
Seeing the reactions of those nobles, he knew City Lord Xiao wasn't talking nonsense.
However, according to the Empire's laws, none of them were capital crimes.
A fine would settle it... Of course, he wouldn't stick his neck out now; he wouldn't refute, but he wouldn't agree either.
"With such numerous evil deeds! Have you no shame?"
"Now, I, Xiao, am rising up! It is to sweep away you nobles and act for Heaven!!!"
City Lord Xiao roared.
Under the roar, several bolts of thunder suddenly descended from the sky, accurately striking those nobles whose crimes had been pronounced!
Rumble...!!!
The thunder drowned out the roars.
Blinding white light filled the World, stripping everyone of their sight and leaving their minds blank.
When they regained consciousness, they saw that over thirty of the spectating nobles had been struck dead!
All killed by heavenly lightning!!!
Combined with the crimes City Lord Xiao had just shouted.
A sense of sacred, unquestionable submission appeared in everyone's heart.
The commoners looked at City Lord Xiao with even more trust.
They weren't heartless stones; with City Lord Xiao standing up for them and upholding justice, how could they not be moved!
The crowd parted to form a path, voluntarily letting City Lord Xiao and the other righteous men through.
They watched them leave with looks of reverence.
Viscount Spike stood up abruptly, looking at the corpses of the nobles struck dead around him. His face twitched, and he was pale, but he didn't order anyone to pursue City Lord Xiao.
At this moment, he truly realized that the gears of the era had begun to turn!
Especially City Lord Xiao's words, they made him feel a sense of panic.
If he stood in the way, it would probably be like a mantis trying to stop a carriage... Su Yuntao took the opportunity to leave with Sisi's body. Bathed in the light rain, his panic from killing basically vanished, and his gaze became firm.
He hadn't done anything wrong!
Originally, when Sisi said he had abandoned Spirit Hall's faith, he was very indignant.
But now, he felt that he really could no longer bow to the God of Angels!
He had never seen the God of Angels send down such a miracle!
The people from Spirit Hall also had various expressions.
This scene had given them too strong of a shock.
Since they believed in the God of Angels, they naturally believed in deities.
And now the Azure Dragon Temple had actually manifested a miracle before them... By comparison, what about the God of Angels?
Especially the declaration shouted by City Lord Xiao to completely eliminate the nobles.
For Spirit Masters, it was even more stirring!
On the current Douluo Continent, nobles were the most noble!
Even Spirit Master Sects, and even the most powerful Spirit Hall, only huddled together for warmth; they were strong and feared, but it was hard for them to gain a truly matching status.
And those from Shrek without backgrounds could not live a good life unless they attached themselves to nobles.
At this moment, many Spirit Hall Spirit Masters were wavering, thinking they might as well just follow City Lord Xiao!
...In the room where Dragon Duke Meng Shu was.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu didn't issue an order in the end, tacitly allowing the Family to follow in the uprising.
But when he saw the heavenly lightning descend, his face suddenly turned incredibly red!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Dragon Duke Meng Shu said repeatedly, patting the windowsill.
It's settled!
The Divine Lord favors City Lord Xiao!
As long as he knew this and saw this, he would no longer be confused!
Aligning with a god's inclination, City Lord Xiao would definitely not fail!
Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang smiled and said, "Old man, it looks like we're going to have one last crazy run."
Dragon Duke Meng Shu nodded, his gaze firm. "Exactly... but I'm very confident now, even if we only have this tiny patch of land in Nuoding City!"
Bang...!
The door suddenly burst open.
Meng Yiran pushed her way in, her hair plastered to her forehead, and said excitedly, "Grandpa! Grandma! Come out quickly and bathe in the light rain! The Divine Lord has sent down sweet rain!"
...Azure Dragon Temple.
The light rain nearby was even denser.
A golden pillar of light extended down from the sky, rapidly shrinking until it condensed into a golden ring within the temple.
It became Yu Mengzhang's fourth spirit ring!
A brilliant gold!
The Karma Golden Ring!
Yu Mengzhang opened his eyes. Now, he was a four-ring Spirit Ancestor, and his fourth spirit ring's Spirit Ability was... Nine Heavens Sky Dragon Decree!
It was a powerful Spirit Ability capable of invoking the power of heaven and earth.
Beyond just combat, it dealt double damage to evil people.
At the same time, because it was recognized by heaven and earth, the suppression effect on all living beings under this Spirit Ability was doubled!
Most importantly, the "Domain"!
Not just the Azure Dragon Divine Lord's own divine Domain, but under the Domain of the fourth Spirit Ability, he would possess an even more powerful decree!
My word is the law! My actions are the rules!
