The Imperial Guard and Brocade Guard inside the Imperial Palace had completely panicked by now.

Was that man standing at the palace gate an immortal? He couldn't be killed?

Liu Suifeng had fired three arrows, and all three had missed! The Brocade Guard had shot two hundred arrows, none of which had hit their target.

Was this broad daylight, or had they seen a ghost?

"He... does he have some immortal protection? Why can't he be killed?"

"How could there be such a person in the Profound Yellow Sect? Could it be truly protected by immortals?"

"Why is this happening? Can we really stop them?"

"Up to now, only three people from the Profound Yellow Sect have died, while we have many casualties!"

At that moment, both the Imperial Guard and Brocade Guard started to panic. They had never expected things would turn out this way. That guy just couldn't be killed!

Would anyone else have died by now?

Not everyone could dodge the arrows fired by Liu Suifeng. Previously, his Black Feather Arrows had taken three lives with one arrow, and now three had been fired without killing that person at the palace gate.

If this wasn't seeing a ghost, then what was?

The Captain Commander saw the panicked looks on the faces of the Imperial Guard and quickly spoke in a cold voice, "Anyone who wavers will be killed without mercy!"

Immediately, some voices within the Imperial Guard quieted down. However, some of the Imperial Guard were still very wary of the man at the palace gate.

Neighbor Six, seeing this scene, turned his head towards Old Mo and burst out laughing, "Old Mo, quickly use your Talent! Your Talent could definitely break this situation."

Old Mo's Talent? That was some real AOE damage! The previous Thunderbolt in a Clear Sky, Celestial Thunderbolt had left a lasting impression on many people. Who could stand against it if it were to be unleashed here?

Chaotic Dance Steps also caught on. Since Abbess, Don't Love Me's Talent had already taken effect, it meant Old Mo's Talent would work too. If they summoned divine justice now, it would surely sweep across the battle.

"My Talent requires proximity to women, and there are only men on their side," Old Mo said, scratching his head with an embarrassed expression.

Junlin smiled and said, "Don't we have female players? Your Talent doesn't care whether it's a Female NPC or a female player."

Hearing this, the players also got excited.

The woman-slayer is here!

Everyone turned to look at the five female players. Now was the time for the female players to sacrifice a bit. Just one death. It wouldn't cost much, and after resurrection, they'd still be heroes!

"Bro, I'm freaking out here! What are you looking at me for?" Sister Zhou declared with a woeful face. "I'm not that kind of person; don't treat me like a tool. Can't you give me a chance to attack?"

"It's decided then—Sister Zhou!" Flourishing Flowers nodded directly. "Quickly make contact with Old Mo; it would be best if he carries you into the fight."

On hearing this, the players all nodded. The remaining four female players also nodded, indicating Sister Zhou could proceed.

Old Mo turned his head to look at Sister Zhou and asked, "Shall we try?"

"Sister Zhou, didn't you say you'd offer yourself up for Old Mo? Now you won't even let him hug you?"

"No way, Sister Zhou! Believe me, I'm unfollowing you right now."

"Don't speak. Be a silent bride, okay?"

"Old Mo, why not take the initiative a bit more and prepare to summon divine justice with Sister Zhou?"

Listening to the players, Sister Zhou also fell into despair. These guys were all waiting for her here; none of them were good people! She had seen the video of the divine justice, where the women from the Blood Demon Sect had been directly struck to ashes. If the thunder fell on her, could she survive?

"Boss Junlin, you don't agree, do you?" Sister Zhou pinned her last hopes on Junlin.

Unexpectedly, Junlin nodded with a smiling face. He agreed! It was better if people from their own Hall handled this; no need to make things difficult for Cloud Lament's four female players.

"Damn, you all remember this!" Sister Zhou cried, opening her arms in despair and closing her eyes. "Old Mo, be gentle. I'm afraid of pain. If you..."

Before she could finish, Old Mo had already walked over and grabbed Sister Zhou's hand.

BOOM!

A dull thunder sounded above. Everyone looked up at the clear sky, swallowing hard. Sure enough! Old Mo's Talent was a dimensional strike—a thunderous sound without any clouds, and judging by the noise, it wasn't just a small one. Oh boy! Things were heating up now!

That dull sound made Sister Zhou's heart skip a beat. Was she still unable to escape being struck by lightning? These beasts! Treating a woman like me this way! They deserve it if no female players ever want to date them!

Old Mo glanced skyward before princess-carrying Sister Zhou.

"I'm rushing in first; you all better hide here."

After saying that, Old Mo leveraged the remaining time of the Eight Gates Escape Armor and flashed next to Abbess, Don't Love Me.

Abbess, Don't Love Me gave Sister Zhou a sympathetic look. Immediately thereafter, he saw Old Mo carrying Sister Zhou and rushing out at top speed.

BOOM!

Thunder roared deafeningly in the sky again. This time, it clearly seemed like the heavens were furious.

Both the Brocade Guard and the Imperial Guard were drawn by the thunder, puzzled by the bolt from the blue.

"How could there be thunder in such clear skies?"

"Have you heard about that battle between the Profound Yellow Sect and the Blood Demon Sect? It seemed like the people from the Blood Demon Sect had encountered Celestial Punishment."

"Are you saying this Celestial Punishment was summoned by someone from the Profound Yellow Sect?"

"That's impossible, right? That's Celestial Punishment, a real divine maneuver. How could the people of the Profound Yellow Sect achieve that?"

"Someone's coming, quickly stop him!"

The Imperial Guard spotted the charging Old Mo and promptly blocked his path. But when Old Mo reached the Imperial Guard, before they could react, he simply stopped moving forward.

"Sister Zhou, get ready!" Old Mo said with a smile, then with a forceful swing of his arms, he threw Sister Zhou, who was in his embrace.

At that moment, Sister Zhou transformed into a cannonball, smashing towards the center of the Imperial Guard and Brocade Guard.

"You beast!" Sister Zhou cursed mid-air.

Then she saw above her a cyan thunderbolt, as thick as a bucket, descending towards her.

"Holy shit, for real?" she shrieked.

Sister Zhou hadn't even hit the ground when she was entirely enveloped by the cyan pillar of thunder. Compared to the previous thunder pillar that struck the Blood Demon Sect, this one was even thicker. It completely enveloped Sister Zhou, obliterating her body in an instant.

The surrounding Brocade Guard and Imperial Guard were dumbstruck by the scene.

Celestial Punishment… Had arrived?!

The cyan thunder pillar hit the ground, transforming into thunder snakes that swept out in all directions. Almost everyone was swept up by these small thunder snakes, spasming as they fell to the ground without any chance to cry for help. The entire area around the platform was completely covered in cyan light.

Liu Suifeng's complexion drastically changed, but it was too late to flee. How could a man be faster than lightning? Liu Suifeng, great bow in hand, watched the blindingly bright thunder pillar before him. He let the thunder snakes envelop him and then screamed as he fell to the ground.

Almost all of the Imperial Guard and Brocade Guard couldn't escape this disaster. Beneath the Celestial Punishment, no one could stand. Everyone twitched on the ground, their bodies turning charred, their hair standing on end. In an instant, its power was terrifyingly evident.

This thunder pillar was too conspicuous; almost everyone in the Capital City saw it. Everyone recalled the rumor that someone inside the Profound Yellow Sect could summon Celestial Punishment. The Blood Demon Sect had been annihilated just like this. Now, this scene was unfolding inside the Capital City, within the Imperial Palace itself!

For a time, everyone was drawn to the thunder pillar, staring dumbfounded as the Celestial Punishment descended.

So this was the Profound Yellow Sect? Indeed, not to be trifled with.

"I told you the Profound Yellow Sect was a sect of deities reincarnated, and you all didn't believe me!"

"What the hell did I just witness? Celestial Punishment actually came? Are the people from the Profound Yellow Sect all deities reincarnated?"

"Pass it down: from now on, if you see anyone from the Profound Yellow Sect, step aside and avoid them. If you provoke them, don't bother coming back!"

"With this Celestial Punishment protecting them, the three hundred people of the Profound Yellow Sect might really succeed in their rebellion."

「Inside the Imperial Palace」

Luo Chenjun watched this scene, his brow filled with fear.

Celestial Punishment? And it was the Cyan Thunder Celestial Punishment! How is that possible? In this Cage, it was impossible for someone to exist who could summon the Cyan Thunder Celestial Punishment; the Talent required would be too terrifying.

"Master…" the Young Eunuch said fearfully, "How could someone in the Cage incite the Cyan Thunder Celestial Punishment?"

Luo Chenjun narrowed his eyes, saying solemnly, "It seems among the disciples Xu Nian has recruited, there is an extraordinary presence. If such Talent were mine, why would I need to stay in this Ghostly Place?" At this moment, his eyes were full of envy. He had heard of Celestial Punishment before but merely dismissed it as a rumor, as he was well aware of the situation in this place. Now, however, having witnessed it with his own eyes, his heart truly shook.

"Immediately send for Li Futu to come here! All the people from the Profound Yellow Sect must die here!" Luo Chenjun gritted his teeth. "Some things must not be revealed! You and Li Futu go. Also, have Cao Zhisheng and Qiantang join in. Kill all the Profound Yellow Sect disciples at the palace gates!"

At this moment, he felt the pressure from the Profound Yellow Sect. He could not act personally, as Xu Nian had yet to show himself. If he were to act, it would only be if he faced Xu Nian, who remained calm and unaffected. The Profound Yellow Sect disciples had provoked him, so he no longer intended to just watch.

Li Futu and the Young Eunuch were his men. Cao Zhisheng and Qiantang were currently the experts in the Imperial Palace. Among the ten greatest experts, they each occupied a position. With these four acting together, they could execute Zhao Qixian and Kong Qingquan even if they arrived!
