Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Steward Ying Suxue, Target of All Arrows

"What? Three Divine Communication Pills?"

Seeing what Ji Haoyuan took out, a group of stewards from the Reward and Punishment Court behind Shi Daozhen couldn’t help but show expressions of shock and excitement.

Divine Communication Pill, it’s indeed the Divine Communication Pill!

It’s said that this pill is owned by the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.

Outside.

Even within their Daoist Palace, obtaining a single Divine Communication Pill is no easy task.

Yet now, Ji Haoyuan has presented not one, but three pills.

This is enough to tempt any Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

In contrast, the expressions of Shi Daozhen, Lin Yuan Divine Monarch, and Lord Bai Hai were exceedingly grim.

They knew that Ji Haoyuan was here with ill intentions.

They had already thought of strategies to respond.

But, the opponent’s actions clearly went beyond their expectations.

First, he disregarded convention, and now he’s using three Divine Communication Pills to tempt them, pills that could stir the heart of any Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

Under such circumstances, they had no confidence they could prevent the cultivators behind them from speaking up.

This was indeed the case.

After a brief silence enveloped the atmosphere, a female cultivator of striking elegance stepped forward from behind Shi Daozhen and the others, bowed and greeted Ji Haoyuan, saying:

"Junior Ying Suxue, greets the Chief Dean!"

Seeing Ying Suxue step forward, the expressions of Shi Daozhen, Lin Yuan Divine Monarch, and Lord Bai Hai all changed.

In Lin Yuan Divine Monarch and Lord Bai Hai’s eyes, a hint of harshness flickered uncontrollably.

They intended to act, but were forced back by a stern look from Shi Daozhen.

Their faces were visibly resentful.

But they knew, feeling resentful was futile.

Unless they wanted to openly confront Ji Haoyuan now.

"So it’s Steward Ying, very good, you’re quite good."

Seeing someone finally stand out, Ji Haoyuan was clearly very pleased.

He smiled and nodded at Ying Suxue, saying:

"Steward Ying, then tell me about the Reward and Punishment Court’s conduct over the years.

Is it truly as reported, that there have been instances of injustice?"

"Yes, Chief Dean!"

Ying Suxue first respectfully saluted Ji Haoyuan.

Then, she glanced at Shi Daozhen and the others.

Seeing them still maintain a nonchalant demeanor.

She felt a chill in her heart and gritted her teeth fiercely.

At this point, she had no room for choice.

The only urgent action was to firmly grasp Ji Haoyuan’s support, giving her a chance to stay in the Reward and Punishment Court and continue progressing.

Otherwise, today’s actions might not only cost her position in the Daoist Palace’s Reward and Punishment Court but also her life and the lives of those around her.

Thinking of this, Ying Suxue hesitated no longer.

She said: "Chief Dean, in recent years, the internal workings of the Reward and Punishment Court have been chaotic, completely lacking fairness. The entire court has become a dictatorship under Stone Court Chief and his allies."

Her words immediately shifted the atmosphere to a murderous tone.

The gaze of Shi Daozhen, Lin Yuan Divine Monarch, and Lord Bai Hai was as sharp as three swords, piercing into Ying Suxue’s eyes.

If not for concerns about Ji Haoyuan’s presence.

Their gaze could have directly obliterated Ying Suxue’s Primordial Spirit, causing her to die tragically on the spot.

Ying Suxue noticed the terrifying aura emanated by Shi Daozhen and the others.

Moreover, the stewards behind them, who had always followed them, cast cold looks at her.

For a moment, Ying Suxue was under immense pressure like never before.

But this was evidently not the end.

After a brief silence in the atmosphere, a middle-aged man, appearing around fifty, suddenly stepped forward from behind Shi Daozhen.

Like Ying Suxue, he respectfully bowed to Ji Haoyuan.

Then he solemnly addressed Ji Haoyuan:

"Chief Dean, Steward Ying’s recent claims are sheer nonsense, solely a personal vendetta.

Because Stone Court Chief refused some of her requests earlier, she harbors resentment and seeks revenge against him.

This action is extremely malicious; I implore the Chief Dean to discern the truth and grant justice to Stone Court Chief and impose due punishment on those who falsely accuse him!"

"Song Heng, you’re maliciously slandering me!"

Upon hearing Song Heng, the middle-aged man’s words, Ying Suxue was infuriated, her chest heaving uncontrollably.

Her eyes ablaze, she glared at Song Heng and said coldly:

"Don’t think I don’t know that you, and many others in the Reward and Punishment Court, have completely pledged allegiance to Stone Court Chief and joined forces with him, secretly withholding resources meant for those who have contributed.

Now, the credibility of our court among the various courts within the Daoist Palace is a mere facade.

And it’s all thanks to the likes of you!"

Ying Suxue spoke many words in one breath.

At this moment, she was evidently taking a big risk.

Because she knew full well that at this point she had no retreat.

However, the influence Shi Daozhen and Lin Yuan Divine Monarch had built within the Reward and Punishment Court over the years was something Ying Suxue couldn’t compare or even imagine.

Not long after she finished speaking, many people like Song Heng stepped forward from behind Shi Daozhen.

They started criticizing Ying Suxue, accusing her of turning truth upside down and defaming Shi Daozhen.

In an instant, Ying Suxue became the target of public criticism.

Only a few did not speak, but their expressions clearly revealed internal struggle.

This caused Ying Suxue’s heart to deeply sink.

She realized that the entire Reward and Punishment Court was virtually controlled by Shi Daozhen.

But she never expected Shi Daozhen’s control over the court to be this extensive.

On the Flying Ship, Sun Mingcheng, Su Yaqin, Meng Wan, and Master Lei Xia all had solemn expressions.

From their vantage point as observers, it was easy to see the true nature of the situation.

Unbelievably, the Reward and Punishment Court, controlled by the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven, seemed to have changed hands.

This inevitably stirred strands of rage within their hearts.

Only Ji Haoyuan remained calm.

Looking at everyone before him, he secretly contemplated. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

This is good.

Those people think they’ve recruited numerous stewards from the Reward and Punishment Court and have become independent.

Little do they know.

Just with this alone, today, I can reclaim everything you hold in your hands.
