"How come no one is speaking?" Donghuang Ji Shang coldly shouted, creating an atmosphere of tension throughout the entire hall.
However, no matter how tense it became, no one dared to speak, as if offending anyone would be unbearable.

"You, come forward. Why did this situation occur? You are supposed to defend the dignity of the royal family, yet you let someone from an outside surname sit on this throne. Do you have any dignity left?" Donghuang Ji Shang questioned with anger.
Shan Junren respectfully replied, "Ancestor, this matter is complicated."
"Make it short," Donghuang Ji Shang said indifferently.
