think Emperor Kun's abilities end there Just now was just an appetizer." 。 。"Right, you might wonder why I'm so certain that the Empress Kun will appear" "Why Because of the aura of those two bone-dev..."Audacious! To commit such a heinous act and show no remorse whatsoever. Considering you have cultivated to this point, your cultivation is not easily attained. Now, follow us back to the Heavenly Punishment Palace to be punished, or we will surely obliterate both your body and spirit!" A goat-bearded old man behind the man roared fiercely.

As for the others who dared to smuggle into the Immortal Realm, they were all dealt with on the spot to uphold Heavenly Might!

"Is that so Since you're from the Heavenly Execution Palace, you should recognize this token of mine." Lu Xiaotian extended his hand, and a jade plaque issued by Tiandantian Palace appeared in his palm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"The Third Rank Heavenly Dan Palace Saint! How is this possible!" Over ten Immortal Generals present were instantly shocked.

"The jade plaque of Tiandan Palace, in this vast and glorious Heavenly Court, could someone dare to counterfeit it" Lu Xia Tian smiled calmly.

“Opening the Netherworld channel is a serious matter, even if you are a third-grade alchemy saint, you have no right to do so. The celestial court's aura leaking out is not a trivial matter. As a celestial court alchemy saint, your status is honorable, and you should naturally uphold the majesty of the celestial court. If everyone indulges in such acts of smuggling, how will the celestial court maintain the current situation in the future Since you are an alchemy saint, we should naturally show due respect to Mr. Dongfang. However, this matter is of great importance, so please accompany us to the Heavenly Punishment Palace.”The middle-aged man just now had lost much of his murderous aura from his face. Only his attitude remained firm.

"What about those mortal cultivators who snuck into this realm" Lu Xia Tian asked.

“Those insignificant ants from the lower realm, even if they miraculously cross the Thunder Region, will be killed on the spot without mercy. Fellow Daoist Dongfang is already a third-grade Dan Saint, vastly different from those from the lower realms. Going to the Heavenly Punishment Palace is not a major offense. If you insist on your own opinion, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Fellow Daoist Dongfang's future.” The middle-aged man’s killing intent subsided, but his stance remained unwavering.

“Well then, I won't say much more. Please return now. I have already taken on this mortal from the lower realm.” Lu Xia Tian smiled upon hearing this. He was now a third-rank Dan Saint of Honghuo Heavenly Court. If he had a choice, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't be willing to give up this status easily. After all, a third-rank Dan Saint in Jiuyang City had many benefits and conveniences in Honghuo Heavenly Court, allowing him to reap plenty of rewards.”

At this time, Yu Xiaqiao and the others were about to reach the fairy world. If Lu Xia Tian retreated now, what would Yu Xiaqiao and the others face was naturally self-evident.

Even if he were to abandon this prestigious position, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't resort to such actions. Besides, these heavenly executioners from the Tiān Xíng Gōng might not be capable of making things so bad.

Even if he were to leave, he would have to wait for the group led by Yu Xiaqiao to follow him. He would never abandon them here.

“You Eastern Daoist are truly determined to be stubborn This time we have come bearing the will of the Heavenly Punishment Palace, even if you are a third-grade Dan Saint, you cannot stop us from acting according to Heaven’s decree. To resist stubbornly is to risk losing even your status as a Dan Saint!” The middle-aged man's face once again turned cold and menacing.

"I give the Daoist friend from the East ten breaths of time to step aside. If you do so, there will be a small punishment, but it will not have too much impact on you. If you refuse, the consequences will be difficult to predict!"

“If you wish to make a move, just come at me. Afterwards, I shall go to the Heavenly Tribunal Palace and recount this matter.” Lu Xia Tian raised his eyebrows, his bottom line was right here, how could he easily back down even an inch.

"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being impolite. Eastern Daoist friend, I apologize in advance!" The middle-aged man bowed his hand and then beckoned with his other hand. Behind him, twelve immortal generals lined up in a goose formation from both wings, like the two wings of a wild goose flapping.

Lü Xiaotien's pupils shrank. He wasn't unfamiliar with the people from Tianxing Palace. The fire demon officer Yan Jiu and his subordinates were indeed powerful when they cooperated. However, back then, Yan Jiu was only a Xuanxian realm cultivator, even though he had a good aptitude. Over the years, after advancing to Tianshen realm, his strength had grown significantly, but it was still far from threatening him. The thirteen officers in front of him were all Tianxian-level powerhouses, not to mention that their individual strengths weren't enough to make Lü Xiaotien pay attention. However, the fact that their Dao realms could overlap together surprised Lü Xiaotien.

There are some similarities to the Twelve Star Guardians of Xingzun Hall, but there are also obvious differences between the two.

The twelve Star Guardians of the Starbeam Pavilion were cultivated from a young age by the Pavilion Master, practicing cultivation techniques and aided by various celestial treasures to reach their current state. Each of their practiced techniques complement and reinforce each other, possessing an inherently close relationship and compatibility from the outset.

A combination like the Twelve Star Guardians, however, is impossible to cultivate in batches. Even the Starstream Hall Master, over all these years, has exhausted his every effort and carefully instructed them, yet he has only managed to cultivate a single group of Twelve Star Guardians.

While the thirteen celestial officers before him were individually weaker than the Twelve Star Guards, their collective strength was still formidable. Each of them practiced unique techniques and possessed a distinct aura that merged with the others, creating an overlapping harmony akin to the Twelve Star Guards' combined power.

Although his combat power was far from reaching the astonishing level of the Twelve Star Guards, it was still formidable at the Celestial Immortal level. At least he was a rare opponent for Lu Xia Tian to face. Setting aside his dragon form, if not for his years of travel in the seas that brought him further progress in the Law's Profound Mysteries, he might have really struggled against these thirteen executioners.

Though Lu Xia Tian's strength now surpassed his past, opening the interdimensional channel had taken a heavy toll. The situation hadn't reached a point of life or death, so holding back was a possibility. If he didn't use lethal force, he might find himself in a difficult position. While the opponent couldn't kill him at this moment, if they fought, Yu Xiao Qiao, Hong Yue and others would gradually approach. Would he really put those thirteen Heavenly Immortal-ranked officials on the spot and absorb Yu Xiao Qiao and others into the Qingguo barrier under their watchful eyes

For a moment, Lu Xia Tian also felt quite troubled. It was better to arrive late than not at all. The timing of these dozen or so people's arrival was indeed somewhat coincidental.

“Fellow cultivator from the East, it’s not too late to surrender now.” The middle-aged man still had some reservations about Lu Xiaitian's identity as a third-rank Dan Saint. The Eastern Dan Saint of Jiuyang City, even the middle-aged man Huo Gang had heard of him. He was a highly valued figure by Yi Huadaoren, and a rising star in Tiandan Palace over the past few thousand years. It was said that he was not far from reaching the rank of fourth-rank Dan Saint. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Huo Gang was unwilling to offend this person too much. In his eyes, for the sake of these insignificant ants who had violated the heavenly laws, it was simply not worth it.

Right now, as long as Lu Xia Tian is willing to stop and reflect, there is still room for things to be resolved.

“But they are just some insignificant people from the lower realms. Why are you officers so persistent” Lu Xia Tian shook his head, he couldn't easily give in when it involved Hong Yue and the others.

“Then I’ll take my leave.” As Huo Gang’s words trailed off, a deafening roar erupted, like a great bell clanging. All around, the ground trembled. Plants and trees, rocks, everything visible turned to dust.
