Chapter 2162: Execute Those Who Refuse

Above the imperial city, lines of characters illuminated the heavens and earth. Each character emitted a terrifying presence, like stars floating in the sky. Their presence shocked many cultivators in the city.

For a moment, no one could ignore it, and the entire imperial city was thrown into an uproar.

“Such tyranny. He’s using such harsh rules to restrict cultivators from all realms.”

“What a joke. No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen is, he is merely a Saint King. How dare he dream of making the so-called Kunlun Laws? He had disregarded the other Macroworlds.”

“Kunlun has been reduced to a Battlefield of Merits. We have to rely on the help of the other Macroworlds to temporarily hold back the Infernal Court’s invasion. What right do we have to talk about dignity and status?”

“Kunlun Laws? Zhang Ruochen is far from being able to suppress all the Macroworlds by himself. The will of the cultivators of all Macroworlds is not something he can fight alone.”

…

All kinds of voices sounded. They were full of disdain for the laws set by Zhang Ruochen. They felt that it was a joke.

Even Empress Chi Yao might not be able to abide by the laws set by herself. Let alone Zhang Ruochen.

Their authority was far inferior to that of the Celestial Palace.

In Ziwei Palace, the Nine-heavens Maiden, Yin Yuanchen, and the rest were surprised when they saw the words in the sky. They did not expect that the Blood Decree written by Zhang Ruochen was aimed at the cultivators of the Celestial Court.

“Forgive me, brother Zhang. The laws you have set are too restrictive for the cultivators of all realms. It has seriously affected their interests. I’m afraid that no one will be willing to abide by them,” said Yin Yuanchen.

Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “Whether they are willing or not, they must abide by Kunlun Laws. This is the bottom line of Kunlun.”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple. If things go wrong, Celestial Palace will be involved.” The Nine-heavens Maiden frowned slightly.

Of course, she knew that Zhang Ruochen had set the laws for Kunlun. However, the outcome might not be as he had hoped.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t worry. We shall know the responses from Celestial Palace soon enough.”

‘Could it be…’

The Nine-heavens Maiden and Yin Yuanchen had some guesses in their hearts.

At Welkin Lounge, Gu Xin’ao was under more and more pressure. He reluctantly lifted his head and looked at the lines of words in the sky.

Gu Xin’ao could not miss the first Order that Zhang Ruochen had made. It was aiming at him.

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had specially sent an emissary to Welkin Lounge to announce the Decree and even specified for Gu Xin’ao to receive it. Gu Xin’ao had a bad feeling about this.

After reciting the Decree, Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirit looked at Gu Xin’ao coldly and said, “Gu Xin’ao, the leader of Saber Empyrean, injured Xue Wuye of Kunlun for no reason and stole his inheritance. You have violated the first Order of the realm. You shall be executed as a warning to others.”

“Execute me? How can Zhang Ruochen make the laws? How can he kill me?” Gu Xin’ao roared into the sky.

Just as he had thought, Zhang Ruochen had planned to use him to establish his authority. He hadn’t expected Zhang Ruochen to be so overbearing. Zhang Ruochen wanted to take his life with just one sentence.

Celestial Palace might not execute Gu Xin’ao. With his status, even if he violated the rules. There was always a way to turn things around.

Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirit said indifferently, “The Prince of Eastern Region is one of the rulers of Kunlun. Naturally, he has the right to set the laws of the realm. All cultivators of Celestial Court must abide by them when they enter Kunlun.”

“Gu Xin’ao, not only did you violate the laws, but you also challenged the Prince of Eastern Region’s prestige. Such crime is unforgivable, and you shall be executed instantly.”

Gu Xin’ao was struck by its words, and his eyes narrowed. He wished to break free from the suppression of the Blood Decree immediately and at the same time shouted, “Array formation”.

He knew very well that he couldn’t fight against Zhang Ruochen’s Blood Decree alone. Only by combining the powers of many Saber Empyrean cultivators could he escape.

No matter what, he couldn’t just be a sitting duck.

The large group of Saber Empyrean cultivators immediately moved. They formed a mysterious sword formation in an instant and gathered vigorous power onto Gu Xin’ao.

Rumble

Cracks appeared in a large area of space, and it was on the verge of shattering. Gu Xin’ao was finally able to straighten his body.

“Impudent! Do you dare to obstruct law enforcement? You all are as guilty as Gu Xin’ao!” Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirit coldly shouted.

Vast divine force surged out from Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirit’s body, condensing into a pitch-black divine cloud. A terrifying divine might instantly envelop the entire Welkin Lounge.

Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirit opened its mouth, revealing a pitch-black bolt of lightning. It was spherical and crazily gathered divine power, becoming larger and
