Wu Shattered Star River

"Swish, swish, swish!"

After Jiang Han struck someone, teams of soldiers rushed out from the Heavenly Punishment Palace. The Chief Warden, Xing Qi, who had been there earlier, came over with his men and surrounded Jiang Han.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Countless people surged from outside the plaza, some to watch the commotion, and others were spies from various powerful families, there to investigate the situation.

Many powerful families knew that Jiang Han would likely cause trouble once the Heavenly Punishment Palace issued the announcement.

They didn't know if the Qing Emperor's faction was secretly exerting influence, so they wanted to investigate the situation as soon as possible and grasp the situation.

"Jiang Han, what do you want?"

Xing Qi stared at Jiang Han with a grim expression and said, "You dare to hit the soldiers of the Heavenly Punishment Palace? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Don't try to pin labels on me at every turn!"

Jiang Han said coldly, "Or… do you really want me to rebel? Want to force me to rebel? Does your Xing family can't wait for me to rebel? If I rebel, the first thing I'll do is wipe out your Xing family, do you believe it?"

Jiang Han's voice wasn't loud, but everyone outside was a celestial being, and some were of high rank, so they all heard Jiang Han's words.

Many people's hearts pounded in their chests. Jiang Han was too bold; how could he dare to say such things?

But thinking about Jiang Han's character and temper, it made sense for him to say such things. He had even killed Zhang Xiongwen, so what did rebelling matter?

In everyone's eyes, the Jade Emperor's authority must never be challenged, otherwise, it could easily lead to the extermination of the clan. Yet, Jiang Han was not afraid.

The Qing Emperor had emerged, his battle prowess had soared, and his prestige had greatly increased. Jiang Han was now the Qing Emperor's son-in-law. He himself was powerful and had performed immortal feats. What did he have to fear?

Even if he really raised the banner of rebellion, so what?

Now, it wasn't Jiang Han's side that was afraid of rebellion, because, all things considered, the Qing Emperor's side was stronger…

"You…"

Xing Qi was speechless from the retort. Although the Xing family had two Celestial Emperors, Xing Wang had just broken through not long ago. If Jiang Han wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of one strike.

The Xing family also had an old Celestial Emperor, but he probably wasn't Jiang Han's opponent either. Jiang Han indeed had the power to destroy the Xing family.

He didn't dare to respond casually, let alone bring up the topic of forcing Jiang Han to rebel. Otherwise, if Jiang Han really rebelled, he and the Xing family would be sinners.

He could only stubbornly say, "If you have the ability, kill me, otherwise you won't be able to enter the Heavenly Punishment Palace!"

"Scram!"

Jiang Han's body flashed, and he slapped out, sending Xing Qi flying.

Jiang Han said icily, "What are you? Do you even have the right to speak to me? Tell Xing Wang to come out!"

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

Footsteps echoed within the Heavenly Punishment Palace, and Xing Wang walked out with several Chief Wardens.

He looked at Xing Qi, who had been slapped away, and said with a gloomy expression, "Jiang Han, what are you doing? Are you trying to tear down the Heavenly Punishment Palace? Do you still have the Heavenly Laws in your eyes? Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"

"Another label?"

Jiang Han sneered and said, "Your Heavenly Punishment Palace condones evil, shields criminals, and perverts the law for bribes. Do you still have the Heavenly Laws in your eyes? Do you live up to His Majesty's trust in you?"

"So many high-ranking members of the Kun family have committed such heinous crimes, yet you don't arrest a single one. Kun Changning and the others were caught red-handed, but you don't kill them, only exile them?"

"And the high-ranking members of the Guan, Lü, and Chen families, you only kill a few hundred? Did those hundreds of thousands of children die in vain? You can shield such beasts. What's the difference between your Heavenly Punishment Palace and those beasts?"

"Impudent!"

Xing Wang trembled with anger and said sternly, "The Heavenly Punishment Palace has its own reasons for handling cases, and all cases are executed according to the Heavenly Laws and regulations. If you have any objections to the Heavenly Punishment Palace's handling of cases, you can submit a memorial to His Majesty and request a sacred judgment."

"The Heavenly Court was severely damaged in this great war, and it is precisely when the Heavenly Court needs manpower, so most of the criminals were not beheaded, but sent to exile to serve."

"They are sent to the Vanguard Camp, which is lifelong exile. This is to make them atone for their sins for the rest of their lives. What's wrong with the Heavenly Punishment Palace's judgment?"

"As for the high-ranking members of the Kun family, there is no direct evidence to prove that those high-ranking members are involved. Of course… the Kun family has the duty of lax supervision, the Palace Master has issued a written reprimand, and Celestial Emperor Kun Shan has submitted a memorial to His Majesty to plead guilty!"

"Everything is handled according to regulations and in accordance with the Heavenly Laws. The Heavenly Punishment Palace manages punishments on behalf of His Majesty, and it has always been fair and just. How can you slander it with empty words?"

Xing Wang spoke with righteousness and indignation, his face full of indignation, as if he had been wronged by Jiang Han, so he was exceptionally angry.

"No direct evidence?"

Jiang Han laughed, he sneered and said, "Isn't the testimony I submitted evidence? Aren't the tens of thousands of children on Guanyu Island evidence? What other evidence do you need?"

"You are not a Chief Warden of the Heavenly Punishment Palace!"

Xing Wang said coldly, "You do not have the authority to investigate and collect evidence. If everyone brings a pile of testimony and asks the Heavenly Punishment Palace to convict, what is the use of the Heavenly Punishment Palace?"

"We have interrogated all the criminals, and none of them involved the high-ranking members of the Kun family. As for the children on Guanyu Island? What children? We don't know."

"Our Heavenly Punishment Palace sent a Chief Warden to investigate the lower realm, but found no children. Many of the crimes you have accused are non-existent, but the Guan, Lü, Wang, and other families have indeed committed many crimes…"

"What?"

Jiang Han's eyes narrowed, and he exchanged a glance with Zeng Fu, both of them revealing a trace of shock in their eyes.

Xing Wang said that he did not find any children, either he was lying through his teeth, or… all the children had been silenced!

Jiang Han's eyes flickered, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, his face becoming more and more unsightly!

Hundreds of high-ranking members of the Guan, Lü, Wang, and other families have all been beheaded. These high-ranking members have mastered the core secrets of Guanyu Island, and they are all part of the chain of evidence.

Now that all these high-ranking members have been beheaded, this part of the chain of evidence is gone.

If all the children on Guanyu Island are silenced, it means that the witnesses and physical evidence have disappeared again.

If the chain of evidence is incomplete, then the Heavenly Punishment Palace can reverse black and white and call a deer a horse.

The written testimony preserved by Jiang Han can all be said to be forged. He is not a member of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, and he is not qualified to handle cases and collect evidence.

What about memory crystals?

The Heavenly Punishment Palace can also say that these are forged, and the images recorded in the memory crystals can be faked.

"That's right, those corpses are ironclad evidence!"

Jiang Han suddenly thought of a problem. Many of the corpses had been dead for a long time, and there were traces of abuse. This is ironclad evidence, and anyone with clear eyes can tell after a few glances.

"The corpses may have been destroyed too?"

Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged a glance with Zeng Fu. The two of them flew out, directly rushed out of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, and rushed towards the Nantian Gate.

"Hehe!"

Seeing Jiang Han fly away, Xing Wang sneered, turned around, and led his men into the Heavenly Punishment Palace.

Jiang Han led Zeng Fu to the Nantian Gate and began to teleport all the way. They did not stop for a moment, rushing towards the Linxian Realm of the Tianyuan Star Region at the fastest speed.

Four days later, Jiang Han and Zeng Fu appeared in the sky above Guanyu Island!

But the two were dumbfounded, because the entire island had disappeared. Not only Guanyu Island, but also the nearby island full of skeletons had disappeared.

The tens of thousands of children, including the hundreds of soldiers left behind, had disappeared without a trace. The hundreds of thousands of skeletons were gone. In the sea near the island, not a single skeleton was found…

"Good, good, good, so this is how you play, huh?"

Jiang Han laughed in extreme anger, his body trembling slightly. He had never felt so angry in his life.

His eyes turned red, making him look even more terrifying than a demon. The monstrous killing intent on his body made Zeng Fu next to him feel breathless…
