Chapter 1044: Chapter 1039: A Clear Conscience

A series of upheavals.

Made the expressions of the powerful in the hall change drastically with anger because no one had ever dared to make a move within the Ancestor Hall for countless years; such arrogance was intolerable.

However.

The Ancestor sitting above appeared calm, showing no trace of displeasure.

Only when looking at the Lord of Xuan Yue Ming, whose arm was broken and bleeding from the mouth, did he slightly twitch his lips; this little fellow was quite ruthless!

Then, he glanced at Qin Wudao, who was wrapped in the potent force of the Dao of the Hongmeng Emperor, and his pupils contracted sharply as he stood up from his chair, eyes full of shock.

"You... succeeded?"

The Ancestor hurriedly asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Qin Wudao nodded with a smile and retracted his aura.

He naturally understood that the Ancestor was asking about the power of the Dao of Hongmeng, as only the power of the Saint Realm could cause the Ancestor to lose his composure.

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

"It’s good that it succeeded!"

Seeing Qin Wudao’s acknowledgment, the Ancestor showed a fleeting daze, then his face lit up with exhilaration, and he laughed heartily.

The Hongmeng Emperor’s Dao!

Heaven favors the human race!

This meant that with enough time, Qin Wudao could break through to the Pre-saint Realm.

The Emperor Zhou, Emperor Xia, Emperor Jiang, and others exchanged glances, puzzled. They were merely Immortal Emperors, not having broken through to Immortal Supreme, so they naturally did not know that Qin Wudao had comprehended the power of the Dao of Hongmeng.

"Ancestor, the Xuan Yue Ming Dynasty does not accept this!"

At this time, the Lord of Xuan Yue Ming took a pill to heal his injuries and shouted angrily.

While speaking, he glanced fearfully at Qin Wudao and hurriedly hid aside.

This conveniently created an empty spot.

Qin Wudao smiled slightly and sat down unreservedly, his eyes slightly closed, without saying a word.

This demeanor immediately angered someone.

"Ancestor, Qin Wudao attacked the Lord of Xuan Yue Ming in your presence. This is a blatant disdain for the authority of the Ancestor Hall. Are you just going to let it slide?"

The Lord of Huang Xu looked grim and voiced his dissatisfaction.

Qin Wudao had been brawling in the Ancestor Hall, yet not only was the Ancestor not angry, but he also laughed heartily, leading the Lord of Huang Xu to see the Ancestor as too lenient with Qin Wudao.

The more the Ancestor valued Qin Wudao, the more dissatisfied he became and the deeper his hatred grew for Qin Wudao.

"Huang Xu Ming Dynasty, I will remember this!"

Before the Ancestor could speak, Qin Wudao suddenly interjected.

"What do you mean?"

The Lord of Huang Xu was startled, glaring coldly at Qin Wudao.

Qin Wudao tapped the armrest with his fingers but chose to ignore him.

"Ancestor, the Lord of Xuan Yue Ming has evidence of the Qin Dynasty slaughtering ten billion celestial citizens. If the Ancestor Hall does not impose a penalty, it might provoke the wrath of heaven and discontent among the people!"

The Emperor Zhou, sitting at the forefront, spoke calmly.

"Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Qin Wudao spoke again, his eyes still closed.

The Emperor Zhou’s expression changed slightly, a chill rising from the soles of his feet, rushing to the Heavenly Spirit Cave, making him feel a breath of death as if targeted by some terrifying entity.

He gave Qin Wudao a deep look and said no more.

He understood that the conflict between the Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou could no longer be resolved.

The Ancestor frowned with concern, almost certain that the Qin Dynasty would not have slaughtered ten billion celestial citizens. Otherwise, Qin Wudao wouldn’t have comprehended the Hongmeng Emperor’s Dao.

If the heart is not proper,

How can one understand the Dao?

But knowing it himself wasn’t enough; he had to let the entire human race know Qin Wudao was innocent and restore Qin Wudao’s reputation.

This was very important.

Only then could Qin Wudao become the common ruler of the human race.

Indeed.

When Qin Wudao revealed the Hongmeng Emperor’s Dao, he regarded Qin Wudao as the next common ruler of the human race.

"Everyone, the Emperor of Qin is the human race’s ’Ziweixing’, it is impossible for him to harm the human race. This must be a misunderstanding!"

The Emperor Jiang slowly spoke.

Sword Emperor, one-armed old man, Ruthless Great Emperor, and Zi Xia Great Emperor, who had interacted with Qin Wudao, all nodded, affirming that it was impossible for Qin Wudao to be the culprit.

The Emperor Xia, Emperor Shang, the Lord of Gu Hua, and the Lord of Qing Guang remained silent, their expressions somewhat complex.

They had their own intelligence systems and, after the incident, had people investigate immediately, naturally aware of the many problems surrounding the Qin Dynasty’s slaughter of celestial citizens.

"The rise of the Qin Dynasty is too fast; making them fall wouldn’t harm us!"

The mind of Emperor Xia worked swiftly as he smiled and said, "The truth of any matter requires evidence. As long as the Qin Dynasty can present evidence of innocence, wouldn’t that solve it?"

The one-armed old man frowned, taking the matter lightly.

This was obviously targeting the Qin Dynasty; how could it be so easy to find evidence?

"If Emperor Xia wants evidence, I will naturally provide it!"

At this time, Qin Wudao opened his eyes and said sternly, "The reason I came to the Ancestor Hall is to tell you all, the Qin Dynasty did not murder innocents indiscriminately, and I have no guilt on my conscience!"

The Emperor Zhou sneered, "Where’s the evidence? Without evidence, you are the culprit!"

"Exactly!"

The Lord of Huang Xu spoke with madness in his eyes, cupping his hands, "I propose that until Qin Wudao clears his name, he be thrown into the celestial prison, and the position of Emperor of the Qin Dynasty temporarily abolished!"

At these words.

The eyes of everyone present narrowed sharply.

To be thrown into the celestial prison.

To abolish the position of Emperor.

For any emperor, this would be an endless disgrace.

The one-armed old man hastily looked at Qin Wudao, worried that the latter would erupt in rage and kill the Lord of Huang Xu with a single strike.

Until he found Qin Wudao’s expression calm, showing no signs of anger, the one-armed old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since following him to the Imperial Capital once, he had been worried about the situation spiraling out of control.

"Here it comes!"

Before the one-armed old man could fully relax, Qin Wudao looked into the distance and said solemnly, "Everyone, the evidence you wanted is about to be delivered!"

That direction, towards the realm of the Remnant Moon World.

The crowd was slightly startled.

Boom!

At that moment, in the distant starry sky, the terrifying aura of twelve Supreme Immortals erupted, pierces through the universe, sweeping across the Eighth Heaven.

"Immortal Emperors!"

"A battle of twelve Immortal Emperors!"

Deep within the starry river came a sound of terror.

In an instant, countless living beings in the Eighth Heaven felt an unparalleled pressure descending from the heavens, crushing down on them, hearts trembling, faces pale.

Many martial artists below the level of Daluo Golden Immortal had no power to resist, kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

Even Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors felt immense pressure.

"Who is fighting in the territory of the human race?"

In the Ancestor Hall, including the Ancestor himself, all the powerful ones’ expressions changed dramatically.

The combat power of an Immortal Emperor is indeed terrifying; just the aftershocks could heavily damage a region of the starry sky, destroying countless stars.

Not to mention twelve Immortal Emperors making a move simultaneously.

If not stopped, it would be enough to destroy several human dynasties.

"Bai Qi?"

"Lv Bu?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Aren’t they subjects of the Qin Dynasty?"

The Ancestor looked up, the fairy light in his eyes flickering, seeing through endless time and space, looking at the distant battlefield.

Yet immediately, his expression became strange.

Because, among the twelve Immortal Emperor martial artists engaged in battle, no fewer than four of them were subjects of the Qin Dynasty.
