Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Even Annihilation of the Primordial Spirit Is Letting Him Off Easy
Star Lord Yuan Qing lowered his head.
Bai Zhi’er questioned once again: "You were originally a Toad Demon, relying on the worship of the people of Yan Country and Great Qin, constantly cultivating and advancing, ascending to immortality."
"Star Lord Yuan Qing, what exactly is your purpose, this time in front of everyone, you might as well make it clear!"
Star Lord Yuan Qing was about to speak.
Bai Zhi’er seemed to guess what he was about to say and warned coldly: "You better not lie or make excuses, otherwise, you wouldn’t think with my current abilities I can’t discern truth from falsehood, right?"
Star Lord Yuan Qing was momentarily shocked, then quickly became ferocious.
He immediately took a half step back and angrily rebuked: "So what if you know? I won’t hide it."
"You’re right, I was originally a Toad Demon, back then, my clan and I cultivated by gazing at the moon, but just for accidentally killing a group of mortals, we were hunted down by the order of the Heavenly Dao."
"My parents and family all died in that catastrophe! But what did we do wrong?"
"The lives of mortals are as transient as a drop in the ocean, their mundane sufferings are unbearable, we merely ended their lives, which was to save them!"
"Even if we were wrong, did we deserve to be annihilated? Those Heavenly Thunders slayed my clan, doesn’t the Heavenly Dao claim to protect the Three Realms? When did it ever protect us!"
An elder stepped forward, angrily rebuking: "Yuan Qing, you are truly foolish! Causing harm as a demon is already against the natural order, how can you brazenly claim you did no wrong!"
Star Lord Yuan Qing retorted: "We were wrong, but does that mean we deserve total annihilation?"
Having said that, probably in a fit of rage, he attempted to seize an immortal as a hostage.
Bai Zhi’er struck with a palm, a streak of golden light directly shattered Star Lord Yuan Qing, destroying both his soul and Primordial Spirit!
The surrounding immortals were stunned, not even reacting.
They were both amazed by the Emperor’s power and astonished.
Star Lord Yuan Qing... was killed just like that?
Bai Zhi’er shook her hand without a moment’s hesitation.
"Such a traitor deserves death, he instigated the war among the Three Realms, unrepentant, extinguishing his Primordial Spirit was too lenient."
"I hope all you gods take heed, let him be a lesson, do not follow his old path."
The immortals came to their senses, hurriedly bowing to Bai Zhi’er: "Yes, we will heed the Emperor’s teachings."
Bai Zhi’er nodded slightly: "Now, does anyone still think I am unfit to be the Heavenly Dao?"
No one dared to refute.
The Emperor was indeed the person who shattered Star Lord Yuan Qing’s soul with a single palm!
It’s known that once one becomes an immortal, they are supposed to be indestructible.
With such high mana, Bai Zhi’er’s abilities already surpassed Jing Jia, the Heavenly Dao.
Bai Zhi’er said calmly: "Since no one finds it unfitting, then prepare the Sealing God Ceremony for me as soon as possible, you may all withdraw now."
"Yes." The immortals bowed.
After they left, A Ruo was extremely delighted.
"The Emperor is truly formidable, she immediately identified who the real villain was!"
"No wonder you warned me previously to be wary of Star Lord Yuan Qing, turns out, he harbored ulterior motives!"
Bai Zhi’er merely smiled.
She knew that the matter was far from over.
Bai Zhi’er glanced back at the departing immortals’ silhouettes.
She retracted her gaze: "Sister A Ruo, I am going to see Mother."
A Ruo quickly stepped aside to make a path.
"Okay, I will go water the Xiangsi Tree, it must feel terrible for withering for a while."
She left happily bouncing.
Bai Zhi’er entered the palace where Jing Jia was resting.
Seeing no one around, she closed the door with a backward gesture.
And said: "Mother, I have killed Star Lord Yuan Qing!"
