Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 325 Birdsong

"Section Chief Fan, there's no need for such formalities."

Lu Qingqing smiled in response, very politely, "Your Highness and I are here to observe the court on the orders of the Night Ancestor."

beside her.

Lu Chen didn't speak, but nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

As the young prince of the Lu family, he holds a very noble status, yet he still maintains a certain arrogance when facing the scions of the fake emperor's family.

“Since you have the Night Ancestor’s decree, there’s no need to report it. Please come with me.”

Fan Sichun realized what was happening and was shocked. He quickly led the group away from the side hall and towards the official court.

At this moment.

The central court of the Inspectorate was bustling with activity.

In the case involving extraterrestrial beings, the presiding judge in charge of the trial was none other than the Deputy Commissioner of the Inspectorate, Tie Yan Jia Jun.

He was highly learned and upright, and was well-respected in the government.

The Imperial Censorate in the central government of Tianjing consisted of nineteen departments.

There are eight departments under this deputy director!

Fan Sichun's seventh department was within his jurisdiction.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Jian was here, holding an official position, and his identity was quite sensitive, he wouldn't have been able to find this place.

Such a case with unclear evidence could not possibly alarm Tieyan the False Lord.

Apart from the chief judge.

The jury, composed of the heads of the eight sections under its jurisdiction, took their seats one after another.

On the seats surrounding the viewing platform were many powerful and influential figures from the capital city who were at the ninth level of the realm.

Many of these scions of prominent families come from various powerful clans.

These people were talking and whispering among themselves, looking quite relaxed.

Apart from this group of people.

There were also some people, including deputy prefects and directors from nearby prefectures, a few students from the Earth Moon Academy, a few descendants of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands, and even creatures from the Wonderland.

At this juncture.

Although the extraterrestrial death case wasn't particularly sensational, it still attracted considerable attention.

"Please bring the accused to court!"

An official glanced at the identification device and spoke loudly.

Subsequently.

Fan Sichun led Jiang Jian into the imposing official residence.

This moment.

The surroundings immediately fell silent.

All sorts of eyes were fixed on Jiang Jian from all directions.

Jiang saw that he did not deliberately conceal his aura here.

Many of them sensed Jiang Jian's terrifying spiritual aura and were startled.

Many people sat up straight, their gazes solemn, and their expressions grave.

There were originally whispers in the courtroom.

But now.

The vast hall was eerily silent.

All that remained was the sound of Jiang Jian's footsteps on the palace bricks as he walked forward.

above.

Tieyan, the fake ruler, stared at Jiang Jian with some surprise.

He heard the news that Jiang Jian had recently broken through to a higher realm. Logically, his third realm cultivation should not be stable, and his aura should not be so strong.

But the fact is.

At this moment, Jiang Jian's body was surrounded by surging spiritual energy, his foundation was extremely profound, and he looked just like a genius of the Divine Palace Realm who had been around for many years!
"I have met the fake Tieyan."

Jiang stopped and said in a deep voice.

Tieyan, the imposter, suppressed his thoughts, nodded, and said, "Jiang Jian of Linjiang Prefecture, the purpose of this court hearing is to try your case involving extraterrestrial beings. Please take a seat."

below.

Immediately, a disciplinary officer stepped forward, moved a chair over, and placed it next to Jiang Jian.

Jiang frowned slightly but did not sit down.

This seat is positioned very low.

If you were sitting here...

Not only was Tieyan the fake ruler constantly looking down on him, but even the eight section chiefs on either side of the trial panel sat at a much higher elevation than him.

Fan Sichun, who was standing to the side, walked to the seventh section's seat but hadn't had a chance to sit down yet.

A man's voice came from not far away, sarcastic and mocking: "Jiang Jian, didn't you hear what Judge Guan said?"

Fan Sichun frowned immediately, turned his head to look, and recognized Liu Qiang, the head of the Third Section.

Many people looked at Liu Qiang, then at Jiang Jian, whispering amongst themselves, all revealing schadenfreude.

Jiang Jian stood still, expressionless, without even glancing at Liu Qiang.

He is very clear.

Liu Qiang said this merely to disgust himself.

Jiang Jian did not react immediately.

Because he is still waiting.

really.

Seeing that Jiang Jian ignored him, Liu Qiang's face darkened, and he immediately stood up and shouted, "Jiang Jian, how dare you disobey orders in court!"

Go up.

Tieyan Jiajun remained silent, observing Jiang Jian's reaction.

As a renowned and upright inspector, although he, like everyone else, did not believe that Jiang Jian was an extraterrestrial being, he could not completely rule out any possibility.

At the entrance of the government office.

Nie Zheng stood beneath the giant gate, her azure skirt cascading down, reflecting the blazing white light, as she looked inside.

Just as Liu Qiang finished speaking...

Jiang Jian's gaze turned cold, and his figure vanished in an instant. Then, with incredible speed, he appeared directly in front of Liu Qiang, his black robe sleeves suddenly flicking out!
boom!
A black light roared out and transformed into a dragon-bird with cold, merciless eyes, screeching as it pounced on Liu Qiang!

Liu Qiang's expression changed drastically. He had no time to react. The spiritual energy protection around him was torn to shreds. In the midst of the exploding light, he was pounced on by the dragon sparrow. His bones were broken and his tendons were snapped. He flew backward, spraying blood all over the ground, and crashed into the pillar platform behind the main hall!
Boom!

The pillar trembled violently, struck by a tremendous force, and immediately developed spiderweb-like cracks!

See this scene.

Inside the main hall, almost everyone watching the scene changed their expression!
The other eight section chiefs of the trial panel stood up in unison, their spiritual energy surging around them, staring intently at Jiang Jian, fully on guard!
Even the fake Tieyan looked grim. He stood up abruptly from his seat and said in a cold voice, "Jiang Jian of Linjiang Prefecture, how dare you make a move in public in the court, disregarding the laws and regulations of the disciplinary authorities? You are truly insolent!"

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Jian was here, he would have been one of the twenty people selected for the Imperial Star Palace's battle plan.

Iron Rock False Lord will immediately take action and suppress him on the spot!
"It wasn't me who acted presumptuously."

Jiang Jian, dressed in a dark royal robe, returned to his original spot amidst intertwined black light, and said softly, "It is this section chief."

Tie Yan laughed angrily and said, "Even if Liu Qiang spoke rudely, it is not a reason for you to violate the laws of the government and lay a hand on the judge!"

Jiang Jian lightly flipped his palm, and the Moonlight Token, surrounded by flowing light, appeared in his hand: "I am an imperial edict from the Imperial Star Palace, the patrol envoy of the Stream View Pavilion, and my official position is a deputy position in the mid-level structure."

He raised his eyes and looked at Tie Yan, his tone calm, "Although the Inspectorate of the Tianjing Central Government is under the jurisdiction of the Earth side of the Imperial Star Palace, it seems to be only a mid-level structure."

"in other words."

“Iron Rock False Lord, your official position in the Imperial Star Palace is equivalent to mine.”

"According to the regulations of the Imperial Star Palace, all those within the palace must have a clear hierarchy and obey orders without question."

“This Section Chief Liu Qiang dared to be disrespectful to me. Even if I killed him on the spot, it would still be within the bounds of the law.”

At this point, Jiang Jian paused, "Iron Rock False Lord, are you implying that the laws of the Inspectorate should supersede those of the Imperial Star Palace?"

Tieyan, the fake emperor, changed his expression several times, and finally snorted coldly without replying.

Even if he were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare admit to that.

The other section chiefs exchanged glances, remaining silent, unable to offer any rebuttal.

Those watching from below were discussing among themselves, gazing at Jiang Jian's Moonlit Token.

Jiang Jian smiled slightly and continued, "I'm here to cooperate with the investigation only because of Section Chief Fan."

"If Tieyan and the other section chiefs continue to treat me like a criminal, I apologize that I cannot cooperate and will turn around and leave."

Hear this.

On the jury seat, Fan Sichun trembled, deeply moved. He immediately stood up and said to Tie Yan, the fake judge, "Judge Guan, please hear me out!"

“Jiang Jian of Linjiang Prefecture, as the Lord of Yinshan and the Imperial Star Palace’s patrol envoy, is definitely not the so-called suspect!”

"Although I don't know why this case was filed, I still have to say that the fact that the Lord of Yinshan came here is already a great help to the work of the Inspectorate."

"Please, Your Honor, grant the Lord of Yinshan a seat!"

Fan Sichun raised his head, his words firm and resolute.

After a few seconds of silence, the imposter Tieyan said in a deep voice, "Guards!"

An inspector stepped forward: "Judge!"

Tieyan, the imposter, said, "Please grant the tour envoy the seat of honor."

The two inspectors immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"
