Above the Three Judicial Departments.

The once clear sky suddenly darkened, resembling night within moments.

"Rumble..."

The birth of the Spirit Tribulation was accompanied by streaks of lightning tearing through the void.

Below, Xiaoqi’s expression remained calm, completely unaffected.

At this moment, Zhan Tian stepped forward, shouting, "All white-robed guards, deploy! Within ten thousand meters of the Three Judicial Departments, anyone daring to approach shall be executed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

...

Responses echoed, and in the next moment, all the white-robed guards surged out of the Three Judicial Departments, guarding within ten thousand meters, remaining vigilant towards their surroundings.

Even Cai Kun stood a thousand meters away.

"Elder Zhan said not to be nervous, but he looks more nervous than anyone!"

He teased in his heart.

Within the Three Judicial Departments, Zhan Tian wore a solemn expression, his gaze fixated on the Spirit Tribulation forming in the void, his brows furrowed.

"Such a strong Spirit Tribulation!"

"Indeed, it’s not weak!"

Chen Xuan approached him, speaking softly.

"How does it compare to yours back then?"

This father and son duo were truly extraordinary, and he was curious, who was stronger after all?

"About equal, but..."

"I’m slightly stronger!"

Chen Xuan added.

"Even stronger than this!"

Even Zhan Tian was inwardly shocked.

After a moment, he uttered two words, "Monstrous!"

"Thank you, Elder Zhan, for the compliment!"

"You’re shameless."

Zhan Tian was speechless, his face was thicker than his own.

"Rumble..."

A deep red lightning bolt struck out from the Spirit Tribulation, instantly turning the entire sky a vivid red.

It appeared extremely eerie.

"Such immense pressure!"

After this bolt, a powerful coercion suddenly appeared above the Three Judicial Departments, and it targeted the Divine Soul.

At this time, Chen Xuan also looked towards the few women, seeing their pained expressions, just about to make a move.

Luan Ying unleashed layers of Spiritual Power to envelop them, isolating this pressure.

Instantly, Chen Xuan felt relieved.

However, Zhan Tian let out a soft sound of surprise, "This girl’s Spiritual Power is strong!"

Then he looked at Chen Xuan; this kid was truly lucky. Among those girls, the weakest was in the Profound Realm, and there was only one, the rest were in the Dao Realm.

"It’s alright, she’s just at the third level of the Dao Stage, passable at best."

Chen Xuan said casually.

His words left Zhan Tian too lazy to respond to him.

Since when was the third level of the Dao Stage so unimpressive and merely passable in his words?

These were Spirit Cultivators, and such levels of Spirit Cultivators were treasured in Great Yu.

However...

His gaze shifted downwards, then his Spiritual Power burst forth, instantly enveloping the entire Three Judicial Departments within his Spiritual Power except for this place.

Chen Xuan looked at the tangible Spiritual Power beneath him, his expression tensed.

He hadn’t expected the physically powerful Zhan Tian to possess such formidable Spiritual Power, he blurted out, "Elder Zhan, what level of the Dao Stage are you?"

"Average, just the seventh level!"

"Oh, right, passable!"

Uh—

Instantly, Chen Xuan’s face turned dark, that feeling was more like constipation.

This old man... really put on a big show.

But worthy of being a giant in Great Yu, none of them are simple.

Even Zhan Tian, whose focus was physical strength, was terrifyingly strong in Spirit Cultivation!

Zhan Tian glanced with his peripheral vision, seeing his expression, his heart immediately felt joyous.

"You dog, serves you right for showing off!"

Rumble...

In the void, as the Spirit Tribulation gradually completed its formation, deep red lightning bolts struck out one after another.

For a moment, the entire Three Judicial Departments appeared bathed in a blood-red hue, like a hell on earth.

Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of many.

Fortunately, Zhan Tian had made arrangements in advance. With those white-robed guards stationed outside, anyone who approached slightly would be immediately chased away!

Of course, there were exceptions!

Qin Hong arrived at the outer perimeter of the Three Judicial Departments. With such a big situation, concerning the Three Judicial Departments, he naturally received the news immediately.

"Your Highness, please stop. Elder Zhan has ordered that no one is allowed within ten thousand meters of the Three Judicial Departments!"

Facing Qin Hong, the Fourth Prince of Great Yu, although merely a white-robed guard of the Three Judicial Departments, he had no choice but to courageously speak up under Elder Zhan’s orders.

"How dare you!"

Wu Ma scolded sternly, just a mere white-robed guard, daring to block Qin Hong, courting death!

However, Qin Hong extended a hand, "It’s fine!"

This was the territory of the Three Judicial Departments; his princely status wasn’t that useful here.

Then, with a smile, he asked, "Who is crossing the Spirit Tribulation, causing such a great scene?"

"To report to the Fourth Prince, it is Elder Zhan’s direct disciple!"

"Elder Zhan’s disciple?"

Qin Hong raised an eyebrow. When did Zhan Tian accept a disciple, and a direct disciple at that!

How come he hadn’t received any news about it?

"It should be that Prince Xuan’s son, right?"

At this moment, a voice came from afar.

"Big brother, you’re a bit late."

Qin Hong spoke softly, not needing to look to know who it was.

"Whether I’m late or not doesn’t matter. Fourth brother, you’re here early but still waiting, aren’t you?"

Qin Tiandao approached him, speaking indifferently.

"Big brother, are you going in?"

Teased, Qin Hong was naturally unwilling to show weakness and immediately made a playful remark.

"No need, Elder Zhan is a pillar minister of our Great Yu, I hold him in great respect. If he doesn’t permit entry, there must be a reason."

This time, Qin Hong was completely defeated again.

"Big brother is indeed big brother. In this regard, I, as a younger brother, am far inferior."

Qin Hong looked at him with a smile, but his words were full of sarcasm.

"I can’t help it, being the big brother, I must set an example for you all. This has always been father’s expectation of me!"

With these words, the atmosphere instantly changed.

Today, Qin Hong had been ridiculed several times, and even for him, his expression subtly shifted.
