Chapter 1617 - 1616: Are You Not Convinced?
The person who came was the second most powerful figure in the Heavenly Court, and also the Cloud Emperor, who represented the Heavenly Court during previous negotiations.
Su Yang had seen him once before, but at that time, his mind was not on amending the rules of heaven and earth, so he left not long after arriving. Su Yang did not know that this person’s strength was so formidable. Being able to grab Ye Sword Saint’s longsword was not something ordinary people could do.
The Cloud Emperor smiled slightly and said softly, "I don’t want to interfere in anyone’s affairs, but when it involves the rules of the Heavenly Court, I have to get involved!"
"The rules of the Heavenly Court?" Ye Sword Saint snorted coldly, "If you don’t abide by your own rules, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
The Cloud Emperor glanced at the three Law Enforcers, sighed, and shook his head slowly, "Indeed, they are in the wrong, and I will naturally punish them!"
"I don’t trust the Heavenly Court’s actions!" Ye Sword Saint said directly, "After you take them back, whether they are punished or how they are punished, no one knows. Since this matter involves me, the punishment should be dealt by me!"
"Mr. Ye, these three are, after all, Law Enforcers of the Heavenly Court. You have already injured them, and they have paid the price for what they did," the Cloud Emperor said softly, "Your daughter and Su Alliance Leader are unharmed. If you continue to punish them, isn’t that going too far?"
"So you’re saying I shouldn’t do this?" Ye Sword Saint countered.
"It’s not a matter of should or shouldn’t, but everything should have rules!" the Cloud Emperor said, "They are Law Enforcers of the Heavenly Court. Violating the rules of the Heavenly Court should, of course, be punished by us..."
"I said I don’t trust you!" Ye Sword Saint said directly.
"Heh..." The Cloud Emperor smiled lightly, "Regardless of whether you trust us, this matter must be resolved by the Heavenly Court. However, to make you believe us..."
The Cloud Emperor suddenly raised his hand, and with a single strike, the third Law Enforcer was sent flying, spurting blood and collapsing on the ground motionless.
