Chapter 520: The Human Heart is Like a Mirror!

"Does Commander Yuan have anything to add?" Lu Changfeng asked.

Yuan Gang cleared his throat. After coughing, he glanced sternly at the 30 Arbiters and declared, "From today onwards, you are Rank 9 Arbiters, representing the authority of the Heavenly Palace. You must lead by example and uphold the laws and decrees of the Celestial Court! Any misstep will result in severe penalties!"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

"Adorn your Arbiter Armor and assemble!" Yuan Gang commanded.

"Yes, sir!" This platinum armor was one of the most striking attires of the Celestial Court, with a base of white and embellishments of gold, majestic and formidable, both grand and solemn.

Even a rough man like Yuan Gang looked distinguished in it, let alone Yun Xiao!

Amidst the envious stares of the crowd, they officially donned their armor. From now on, they would represent the authority of the Celestial Court, battling for its glory, and receiving its protection.

However, just as everyone marveled at this moment, an unexpected incident occurred.

KLANK! KLANK! KLANK! As Yun Xiao was donning his armor, a spherical object fell from him and rolled in front of the gathering of Immortals.

"A Projection Orb?" The crowd was momentarily stunned.

"Excuse me." Yun Xiao, not yet fully armored, hurried to retrieve it.

But before he could touch the sphere, it activated itself, flashing brightly, then... it projected a scene. The scene revealed a scene of swirling black smoke and rolling lava! A burly Arbiter appeared on the screen.

"Isn\'t that Commander Yuan?" the crowd murmured in surprise.

Yuan Gang was pondering how to deal with this newly minted Arbiter when the Projection Orb appeared, altering his expression instantly. He moved towards the sphere, but suddenly, Liu Mumu blocked his path.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

Her interruption allowed the Yuan Gang within the sphere to speak, and everyone heard him!

Under Yun Xiao\'s grievous interrogation, the Yuan Gang on the screen declared, "What solemn place? This is my territory, Yuan Gang\'s domain, and I decide the fate of all you lowlifes here!"

The scene was clearly set in the Black Demon Cavern!

"Uh..." Tens of thousands of Immortal citizens watched this unbelievable revelation in stunned silence, then mechanically looked up at the two main characters inside the sphere.

"I\'m sorry, so sorry!" Yun Xiao, looking panicked, hurriedly picked up the sphere.

Yuan Gang looked like he\'d been smacked in the face. As a commander, he had just publicly chastised the newcomers, declaring that any error would increase their level of punishment. But now...

"Yuan Gang! You dare to ambush a candidate during the Arbiter assessment!"

"As a commander, you brazenly defy the laws of the Celestial Court and insult the descendants of martyr Arbiters as lowly!"

"Yuan Gang! With incontrovertible evidence of your corruption, how can you explain yourself!"

After an initial silence, the content of the Projection Orbs incited the rage of Sky Soaring City. Most of the crowd, lacking the background of Heavenly Officers, were naturally incensed by such injustice.

At the very least, everyone imagined that Arbiter assessments were fair.

"Sky Protector, you must give us an explanation! If incidents like Yuan Gang\'s are common, who would dare send their children to the assessments?"

In a moment, tens of thousands of eyes turned towards Liu Chaochao. His face was cold as he watched everything unfold. "Seize Yuan Gang!" he commanded in a firm voice.

"Brother Chao!" Yuan Gang\'s face went pale, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Take him away," Liu Chaochao commanded.

Yuan Gang clenched his teeth, forced to bow his head and allow the other Arbiters to capture him.

"Lu Yao, hand the Projection Orb over," Liu Chaochao demanded.

"Yes." Yun Xiao stepped forward, but instead handed the Projection Orb to Liu Mumu.

Even at this moment, the public was fervently discussing the scene.

Liu Chaochao took a deep breath and addressed the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, such a violation of the Celestial Laws during the Arbiter examination is our responsibility at the Skyruler Immortal Manor. We will conduct a thorough investigation, review the facts, and judge the sins to provide an explanation to all the citizens of Sky Soaring City!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang\'s face twisted. He knew better than anyone that the Celestial Court, at least ostensibly, was a realm governed by laws and decrees. Yun Xiao\'s cunning maneuver had publicly plunged him into an abyss. He would not only be punished but might also be sacrificed to preserve the image of the Skyruler Immortal Manor.

"Brat, you\'ve got some nerve! Weak and alone, you dare oppose the entire hierarchy system of Sky Soaring City. You\'ve gotten your revenge, but you and all you hold dear are doomed!" Yuan Gang turned and glared coldly at Yun Xiao, cursing in his heart.

Of course, his mind was also filled with many doubts.

"Take him away!" Liu Chaochao ordered coldly.

Today\'s events were a blow to his pride as the Sky Protector. He didn\'t look at anyone else, just glared at Liu Mumu and whispered harshly, "You arranged all this, didn\'t you? For Lu An, have you gone completely mad?"

"Heh," Liu Mumu shrugged and chuckled coldly.

"Sky Protector!"

Just as Liu Chaochao was about to leave, someone within the crowd outside which was fixated on him shouted loudly, "Lu Yao is a descendant of a martyr. He has no influential background. He\'s offended some powerful figures today, hasn\'t he? Will he be eliminated? I want to know, if something suddenly happens to him, can we still trust the integrity of the Skyruler Immortal Manor?"

Liu Chaochao replied sternly, "Don\'t talk nonsense. He is a Rank 9 Arbiter, a duly appointed Heavenly Officer protected by the Celestial Laws. Anyone who dares to harm him commits a crime!"

"We don\'t care about that. If he dies, we\'ll blame the Skyruler Immortal Manor!" the people shouted vehemently.

Those who could practice in the Great Dao Celestial Realm were no fools.

The tension between officials and civilians was extremely pronounced here; they were all victims, and today was their chance to speak out!

Yun Xiao daring to reveal this evidence and bring down Yuan Gang to speak up for the lowly ensured that the people would not remain indifferent.

"Exactly! We demand fairness, justice, and transparency!"

"If something happens to his family, if they are ostracized, how can we trust the authority of the Skyruler Immortal Manor?"

Tens of thousands of Immortal citizens were vocal, surrounding the gates of the Skyruler Immortal Manor and speaking nonstop.

Liu Chaochao, growing impatient, turned back towards the Skyruler Immortal Manor, leaving the mess for Liu Mumu to handle.

Liu Mumu then addressed the crowd, "Everyone, please be assured. Lu Yao faced a life and death crisis yet emerged victorious, securing the top position in the Arbiter examination. His performance was outstanding. As his master, I will strive to ensure he receives the fairness he deserves."

Hearing this, the crowd was reassured.

"Liu Mumu is truly reliable."

"Exactly!"

"People\'s hearts are like mirrors; everyone understands clearly."

Seeing the furious crowd finally calm down, Liu Mumu continued, "If there\'s nothing else, everyone, please disperse!"

"Mhm…" The citizens finally dispersed.

Once the crowd had left, Liu Mumu walked over to Yun Xiao, looked him in the eyes, and asked, "Do you know what the high-ranking Immortals in Sky Soaring City despise the most?"

"Using public sentiment to defy the will of heaven," Yun Xiao replied.

"Then why still do it?" Liu Mumu shook her head.

"I seek revenge, and I cannot wait a moment longer," Yun Xiao responded, shaking his head.

"You\'re not Lu Yao!" Liu Mumu said sternly.

Yun Xiao didn\'t answer at first; he silently donned his Arbiter armor.

Clad in this platinum armor, his already striking youthful beauty gained an added air of heroic grace, making him look as though he were a perfectly sculpted celestial warrior!

Adorned in platinum armor, and wearing armored boots, Yun Xiao transformed into an Immortal warrior!

After adjusting his attire, he looked towards Liu Mumu and declared, "Master, standing before you now is a Rank 9 Arbiter Initiate of the Great Dao Celestial Realm, a descendant of the martyred Arbiters of Sky Soaring City, the youth whose dreams persist ten years later, Lu Yao!"
