Yi Nian and Ye Guan had just left when an old man walked into the hall.


    Justice Officer Cui Yin was standing next to the old man.


    Jing An''s expression immediately became solemn upon seeing the old man. Traces of regret from not being able to eatmb anymore disappeared from her face.


    The old man was none other than the Prime Minister of the Cab—Prime Minister Mu.


    Prime Minister Mu looked at High Goddess Tianyun with aplicated expression. "High Goddess, what you''ve done is just—<em>haaa…</em>"


    High Goddess Tianyun calmly said, "Old Mu, give them a chance."


    "It''s a can of worms," Prime Minister Mu said, shaking his head. "Who is going to follow our divinews in the future? If everyone learns from Yi Nian''s example, won''t the Tianxing Civilization fall into chaos?"


    "Then just change the divinews," High Goddess Tianyun said indifferently.


    Prime Minister Mu smiled bitterly. "High Goddess, the divinews are thews of our ancestors. How can it be changed so easily?"High Goddess Tianyun sat down to the side and said, "Old Mu, sit down?"


    Prime Minister Mu shook his head. "High Goddess, don''t dy any longer. Where did you send them?"


    High Goddess Tianyun replied, "I forgot."


    Prime Minister Mu''s expression froze. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said nothing more before turning around to leave with Cui Yin.


    He knew that arguing with High Goddess Tianyun was pointless. He couldn''t force her to do or say anything. In fact, even the Tianxing Ruler found it difficult to deal with High Goddess Tianyun.


    Left all alone, a trace of worry appeared in High Goddess Tianyun''s eyes. She had decided to support Yi Nian and Ye Guan, but she knew that the Tianxing Civilization would never allow a rtionship between Yi Nian and an outsider.


    Even if they fled to the ends of the vast expanse, the Tianxing Civilization wouldn''t let them go.


    High Goddess Tianyun was truly worried.


    Meanwhile, Jing An was calm. She knew that Yi Nian hadn''t just left with Ye Guan to protect him from harm. Yi Nian was also afraid that a conflict would spark between the Tianxing Civilization and Ye Guan, which would lead to a catastrophe.


    Only she and Yi Nian knew the terrifying power of thatdy in a in skirt…


    If Ye Guan were harmed here...


    Jing An sighed softly again and muttered, "Mymb..."


    ***


    Outside the Great Hall, Prime Minister Mu sighed softly, feeling a bit helpless.


    Cui Yin''s face was dark as he said, "Prime Minister Mu, this situation is going to have a terrible impact on us. That shameless Yi Nian actually fell in love with a human from a low-tier civilization.


    "This is a disgrace to our Tianxing Civilization! And High Goddess Tianyun has openly expressed her stance to protect her. Isn''t that a tant challenge to our civilization''s divinews? She—"


    Prime Minister Mu nced at Cui Yin and said calmly, "What''s the use of telling me all that? You really think I can defeat High Goddess Tianyun?"


    Cui Yin''s expression turned grim.


    "Let me give you some advice, Justice Officer," Prime Minister Mu said, "Although High Goddess Tianyun has done something worthy of criticism, her contributions to the Tianxing Civilization are unparalleled. As long as she doesn''t betray the civilization, even the Tianxing Ruler wouldn''t dare to truly punish her. If you don''t understand that and seek revenge, you''re only going to be digging your own grave."


    Cui Yin lowered his head silently, hiding his true emotions. "Thank you for the advice, Prime Minister Mu. I never intended to seek revenge on High Goddess Tianyun.


    "However, this matter <em>does </em>require a solution. Yi Nian''s love for someone from a low-tier civilization has be a widely discussed issue."


    After pondering for a moment, Prime Minister Mu said, "Chase after them."


    If it were any other matter, he wouldn''t mind giving High Goddess Tianyun some face. However, Yi Nian''s action was too damaging. If a precedent were set, the Tianxing civilization would descend into chaos, tarnishing the purity of their bloodline.


    Marriage with an outsider was absolutely forbidden!


    The purity of the Tianxing Civilization''s bloodline could not be tainted.


    Having received Prime Minister Mu''s order, Cui Yin turned around to leave.


    "Wait," Prime Minister Mu suddenly called out.


    Cui Yin stopped and turned to look at Prime Minister Mu.


    Prime Minister Mu stared at Cui Yin and said, "Yi Nian broke the divinews, but she is still under High Goddess Tianyun''s protection. Don''t go too far. Spare her life, and the cab will discuss her punishment. As for that man..."


    Prime Minister Mu didn''t finish his sentence.


    Cui Yin immediately responded, "Understood."


    With that, he turned and disappeared into the distance.


    After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Mu turned around and left.


    In no time, Cui Yin and a group of adjudicators left the Tianxing Divine World.


    Outside, they encountered a middle-aged man—the Second Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance, Qiu Baiyi.


    Qiu Baiyi smiled and asked, "Justice Officer Cui, are you going out to capture Ye Guan?"


    "That''s right, Second Hall Master." Cui Yin nodded. "That shameless Yi Nian has unleashed the Tianxing me to burn the Evil Universe without authorization. For that issue—


    Qiu Baiyi shook his head. "It''s a minor issue. It doesn''t affect the agreement between the Evil Dao Alliance and the Tianxing Civilization."


    Cui Yin nodded slightly. "That''s great to hear."


    "But Ye Guan''s backer is extremely powerful," Qiu Baiyi said seriously, "If you end up angering his backer..."


    "Second Hall Master, do you think our Tianxing Civilization is no match for his backer?"


    "I didn''t say that," Qiu Baiyi said, shaking his head. "I don''t mean that. It''s just a friendly reminder."


    "Second Hall Master, our Tianxing Civilization has never lost."


    Qiu Baiyi nodded. "Indeed."


    "If Ye Guan''s backer were truly invincible, then why would he flee from here? Why not face our Tianxing Civilization head-on?"


    Qiu Baiyi nced at Cui Yin and then chuckled. "To be honest, our Evil Dao Alliance has suffered heavy losses in our battles with Ye Guan. <em>Oh,</em> I forgot that our Hall Masters can''tpare to you, Justice Officer Cui."


    Cui Yin smiled upon hearing that. "Second Hall Master, no need to belittle yourselves. Your Evil Dao Alliance still has some impressive strength."


    Qiu Baiyi shook his head repeatedly. "No, no,pared to the Tianxing civilization, our Evil Dao Alliance is nothing."


    Cui Yin inwardly agreed with that statement, but he didn''t show it in his expression. He merely smiled and said, "Second Hall Master, let''s not waste time on such trivial matters.


    "We''ve signed a peace treaty with the Evil Dao Alliance, so for the duration of this treaty, we''re practically allies. As for that lowly Ye Guan, if your alliance can''t kill him, our Tianxing Civilization can definitely kill him."


    Qiu Baiyi nced at the adjudicators behind Cui Yin, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you need more people?"


    Cui Yin suddenly asked, "What realm is Ye Guan in?"


    Qiu Baiyi replied, "He should be around the Transcension Realm."


    Cui Yin frowned slightly. "So weak, and yet your alliance couldn''t kill him..."


    Realizing his slip, he quickly corrected himself, "Second Hall Master, I don''t mean to belittle your alliance. Please don''t take it the wrong way."


    Qiu Baiyi smiled bitterly. "Indeed, our Evil Dao Alliance has declined over the years. I believe that with your involvement, Justice Officer Cui, Ye Guan''s death is certain. However, Ye Guan has a powerful backer, and that backer..."


    Cui Yin asked indifferently, "Is his backer truly strong?"


    Qiu Baiyi nodded.


    "Strong to your Evil Dao Alliance, perhaps. But to our Tianxing Civilization..." Cui Yin smiled slightly and hurriedly added, "I mean no offense, Second Hall Master. Please don''t take it the wrong way."


    "Hahaha, of course," Qiu Baiyi said, smiling awkwardly. "All right, farewell."


    With that, Cui Yin turned around and left.


    A tinge of mockery shed in Cui Yin''s eyes as he stared at Qiu Baiyi''s departing figure. "The Evil Dao Alliance is full of nothing but a bunch of idiots!"


    With that, he led a group of experts into the distant horizon.


    Meanwhile, Qiu Baiyi smiled as he stared at Cui Yin and his group. After a while, he turned around and left. The chessboard was ready, and it was time for him to make a move.
