Fa Wuji's expression darkened to the bottom in that instant.

He watched helplessly as Yun Mengsheng's soul was completely annihilated by Su Jie's finger, leaving not even a trace of her soul behind.

His fingers clenched tightly inside his sleeve, his knuckles turning white, but he forcefully suppressed the anger that was about to burst forth.

He secretly vowed that this little beast killed his people right in front of him and shouldn't think he could be so presumptuous just because he was a Dao Child of the Primordial Temple.

Once he leaves the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, it's best for him to remain in seclusion every day until he becomes eternal.

Cangwu sat on the high chair and remained silent for a moment.

He glanced at the soulless body on the ground, as if he had found a way to back down.

After all, she was just a stupid woman. It's good that she died, so that their Temple of Ten Thousand Laws won't be dragged down with them.

He chuckled and said, "Now that this woman has been executed, the matter is clear. It was this woman who sowed discord and disrupted the friendly relations between our two holy temples. Su Daozi handled the matter appropriately, and this matter ends here."

But before he could finish speaking, Su Jie interrupted him: "Palace Master Cangwu, I never said that what she said was false."

Su Jie shifted his gaze from the mangled body on the ground to Cangwu's face and spoke calmly.

"We killed her simply because she didn't need to live. But our Primordial Temple has already investigated and found that this matter is related to Fa Wuji. So—"

He glanced at Fa Wuji, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Please, Palace Master Cangwu, kill Fa Wuji directly and make him pay with his life for this vile woman."

Fa Wuji's expression changed completely in that instant.

He suddenly turned to Su Jie, his sinister eyes flashing with undisguised killing intent.

His voice was forced out through clenched teeth, as if carrying the ruthlessness of someone driven to the brink of despair:

"What are you? A mere ninth-order Supreme, how dare you be so arrogant in my Myriad Laws Holy Temple?"

Even if the Lord of the Primordial Beginning were to personally come, he wouldn't be so quick to try and kill me like you are—”

He turned to Cangwu, his voice suddenly rising: "Cangwu, I think this kid has gone mad! He might have been possessed by a chaotic beast!"

"Let's capture him directly and see which chaotic beast dares to possess the Dao Child of the Primordial Temple! Perhaps the Primordial Lord will even thank us for cleaning up his own domain!"

Cangwu didn't respond immediately, but his gaze had already turned cold.

He slowly rose from the high chair, his eyes, which had been in charge of punishments for many years, falling on Su Jie with a sharpness as if scrutinizing prey.

He said coldly, "Su Daozi, what the Dharma Hall Master said is not entirely unreasonable. Your words and actions are indeed not how a normal person should react."

Although the deacons and elders inside the hall did not speak, their gazes spoke volumes.

Some people were shaking their heads inwardly, some were exchanging glances, and some had a faint, almost imperceptible sneer on their lips.

A junior at the Supreme Realm, relying on his status as a Dao Child of the Primordial Holy Temple, wants to execute an Eight-Wheel Eternal Palace Master of the Myriad Laws Holy Temple? He must be truly insane.

Su Jie seemed completely oblivious to the doubts and disdain in those gazes.

He raised his hand and flipped it in the air, and a palm-sized dark gold token appeared in his palm.

The token is engraved with the emblem of the Primordial Temple, and its edge is surrounded by a pattern of nine stars, exuding an aura of majesty that cannot be ignored.

"Oh, so Fa Wuji, you're questioning my proposed solution."

Su Jie's gaze shifted from Fa Wuji to Cangwu. "And Cangwu, you're also planning to protect him, right? You're asking me what you're relying on?"

He pushed the token forward, and dark golden light poured out from its surface, like a sun rising in the dimly lit hall of punishment.

The runes engraved on the token were fully activated at this moment, and an immense and boundless pressure emanated from the token, enveloping the entire Hall of Punishments.

Upon seeing the token, everyone's pupils contracted simultaneously. Some gasped sharply, some instinctively took a half-step back, and some immediately knelt on one knee.

The Primordial Nine Stars Inspectorate Order is the highest-level inspection certificate of the Primordial Temple. The holder of this order exercises power as if the Primordial Lord were personally present.

"Greetings, Inspector Su." One after another, the deacons and elders in the hall bowed, their voices uneven but clearly audible.

Cangwu stood on the high chair for a moment, his square face displaying extremely complex emotions, a mixture of anger and helplessness.

But in the end, he slowly bent down and bowed his head in the direction of the token.

Su Jie retrieved the token, his gaze sweeping over the bowing figures before finally settling on Fa Wuji and Cang Wu.

He said in a deep voice, "Since you, Cangwu, are also going to collude with Fa Wuji, then you are also a heinous criminal."

He paused, his gaze darkening slightly: "Then today, only by annihilating both of you, body and soul, can the majesty of my Primordial Temple be preserved. Therefore, commit suicide."

The entire Hall of Punishments fell into a deathly silence.

Fa Wuji and Cangwu simultaneously raised their heads, looking at Su Jie's increasingly arrogant face, as if they had heard something utterly absurd.

Fa Wuji's lips twitched, he was almost laughing in anger, while Cangwu glared at Su Jie with a face full of rage.

The deacons and elders also couldn't believe that Su Jie would make Fa Wuji and Cangwu commit suicide.

Even if a junior in the Supreme Realm holds a Nine-Star Inspector's Order, would he really dare to kill two Eight-Round Eternals in the Punishment Hall of the Myriad Laws Holy Temple?

Isn't he afraid of losing his life here today?

Fa Wuji straightened up, a fierce glint flashing in his sinister eyes.

He felt he shouldn't have wasted his breath earlier; this guy must have lost his mind.

"Kill me?" Fa Wuji seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Su Jie, you're just a Dao Child who's only been crowned a few years ago. Do you think you can just order me to commit suicide in the Punishment Hall of my Myriad Laws Holy Temple because you were given a token by the Lord of Origin?"

He turned to look at Cangwu, his tone filled with extreme anger at being offended.

"Cangwu, you heard it too. This kid has probably gone mad from cultivation and lost his mind. I'm now certain he's possessed by the remnant soul of a chaotic beast, otherwise, how could a normal person say such things?"

Cangwu was also so enraged by Su Jie's words, "You are also a heinous criminal," that he wanted to kill someone.

He spoke coldly: "Su Daozi, the Nine-Star Inspector Token is indeed the highest-level inspection certificate of the Primordial Temple. The holder of this token exercises authority as if the Primordial Lord were personally present. I, Cangwu, recognize the weight of this token."

He paused, then changed the subject: "But even so, you have no right to order us to commit suicide in the punishment hall of a holy temple. What the Lord of the Law said is not entirely unreasonable; your words and actions do not seem like those of a normal person."
