From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 371 The Attitude of True Monarch Cangyuan
"True Lord Cangyuan!"

The moment they saw this young man, everyone in the Criminal Law Department was speechless.

If we were to name the most famous figure in the Heavenly Realm in recent years, it would undoubtedly be this True Lord Cangyuan.

Not only was he born into a distinguished family, but he was also incredibly powerful. In previous years, he even reached the Golden Immortal realm, making him the first rank below the Emperor and the Dao Lord.

Most importantly, this True Lord has an extremely eccentric temper. If he thinks you are someone worth befriending, he will drink a few cups with you even if you are a beggar on the street. If he doesn't like you, he won't give face to even an Emperor or Dao Lord.

Why didn't you use the talisman I gave you?

Cangyuan Zhenjun stopped in front of everyone and suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Xing Fang and the others were slightly taken aback, but they quickly realized that True Monarch Cangyuan was talking to You Ming.

"The Department of Criminal Law is a function of the Heavenly Court; how dare a lowly deity..."

You Ming chuckled awkwardly. It wasn't appropriate to shout for war in front of the deities of the Criminal Law Department.

"I'm not talking about those few. Who do they think they are, daring me to lay a hand on them?"

"I mean, you should have called me when that woman Shui Lan was chasing you. She's just a dog of Emperor Beichen, yet she dared to touch my friend. So what if I killed her?"

"They even went to such lengths to carry out this kind of torture; it's truly laughable."

Cangyuan Zhenjun looked at You Ming, his tone heavy with disdain for the people of the Criminal Law Department, but none of them dared to raise their heads.

There was nothing they could do. Even if True Lord Cangyuan killed them, or even smashed the Criminal Law Department to pieces, they would still have to endure it.

It's unforgettable that this gentleman actually did something like this before, and it was a hundred times more serious than smashing up the Criminal Law Department.

Upon hearing Cangyuan Zhenjun's words, You Ming's first thought was... Who is Shui Lan?
But he quickly realized that it was probably the River Goddess of the Cangyuan River.

Well, a third-rank deity who is unattainable in one's own eyes is actually just so-so in the eyes of a true god.

What You Ming didn't know was that if Jiang Shen Niangniang hadn't belonged to the faction of Beichen Emperor, this matter probably wouldn't have caused much of a stir.

However, when asked this question by Cangyuan Divine Lord, You Ming was somewhat at a loss for words.

After all, he hadn't thought that his relationship with True Monarch Cangyuan had reached the point where he could ask this great god to help him kill someone.

They killed a third-rank deity.

"But now that things have escalated to this point, I don't need to take action anymore."

Just as You Ming was wondering how to deal with it, True Monarch Cangyuan suddenly spoke up.

His words confused You Ming even more.

This matter has caused quite a stir. Could it be that my seven million reputation points have taken effect?
“You Ming is my friend, you must treat him well.”

“If he is even slightly injured, I will tear down your main hall.”

Cangyuan Zhenjun glanced at the group from the Criminal Law Department, coldly uttered a sentence, and then strode away.

All that remained were constipated expressions on everyone's faces.

When they arrest people, it's not like they're treating them to a meal. Sometimes, in order to get the criminals to talk, they have to use some special methods.

But today, with Cangyuan Zhenjun threatening them like this, they felt like they had grabbed a hot potato.

They could disregard what the Weaver Girl said, but they had to take Cangyuan Zhenjun's attitude seriously.

"What should we do?" The Criminal Law Department was caught in a dilemma. Given the current situation, even if they brought the person back to the yamen, they would eventually have to send him out unharmed.

Then why are they wasting their time?
"Take him back first, we'll question him as usual, and if there are no problems in the end, we'll release him."

After hesitating for a long time, the group finally decided to take the person to the yamen.

After all, it was a matter assigned by the [Heavenly Commander]. Although both sides are powerful, there is a distinction between what is important and what is not.

It's a pity that these minor deities caught in the middle had to suffer this humiliation for nothing.

The group led You Ming toward the direction of the Criminal Law Department.

After Cangyuan Zhenjun's meddling, their attitude towards You Ming improved considerably. Although they didn't fawn over him, they weren't as aggressive in their speech.

They rode on the clouds and flew for several hours, until the Ministry of Justice came into view in the distance.

Looking into the distance, Youming saw a magnificent palace rising high in the depths of the clouds and mist.

Unlike the magnificent palaces of the celestial realm, it was black, exuding a somber and chilling atmosphere.

The palace gates were so high they were impossible to climb, and above the gate hung four large characters, as if carved by a knife and axe—"Criminal Law Department!"
You Ming's mind was shaken by just one glance, as if all the dark things and secrets in his heart were now revealed.

This [Criminal Law Division] is a place for interrogating immortals, so a mere cultivator like him naturally cannot withstand such pressure.

“We are here on the orders of the Chief Judge to bring the suspect back.”

Xing Fang lightly tapped the air with the legal tablet in his hand, and then the palace door burst open with a loud bang, and a cold wind carrying a fierce aura rushed in.

However, You Ming was wearing a robe of rosy clouds, so the cold wind was blown away as soon as it approached his body.

You Ming was led inside and found the hall to be incredibly spacious, with a high ceiling that seemed to stretch endlessly.

Only a giant bell stands silently in the center, cast from black iron, its surface covered with inscriptions.

On both sides of the main hall, countless iron statues stand with their hands hanging down, yet they evoke an indescribable sense of fear.

These iron statues are all from the past chiefs of the Criminal Law Department. After they left office, the department would cast a statue of them and ask them to leave behind a portion of their divine power.

Almost any criminal who comes here will be intimidated and will answer any question you ask.

As You Ming walked through the spacious hall, the pressure emanating from the rows of iron statues made him extremely uncomfortable. If he hadn't already focused all his [Equal Quantity Adjustment] on [Fortune], he would have been prepared to strengthen his willpower even further.

"Crack crack crack".

But just when he was about to lose his temper, the iron statues on both sides suddenly flipped over, each facing the wall and with their backs to Youming.

The oppressive force that had permeated the entire hall completely dissipated.

"Tattoo."

From the other end of the hall, a figure slowly walked over.

The figure was extremely tall and thin, dressed in a black official robe and hat, with a mask that looked like cast iron on his face. As he walked through the dark hall, he gave off an extremely cold feeling.

The moment Youming saw this person, his heart seemed to clench.

"Master..."

Xing Fang and the others bowed respectfully, but they felt extremely strange. Why would the Chief Judge be involved in the interrogation of a mere Dharma Aspect cultivator?
