My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

After leaving the Palace of Fire, Li Xuancang went to the Night Watchmen, where he was treated coldly as well.

Li Xuancang didn't take the attitudes of the two departments to heart; his trip was merely to inform them.

Soon after, hundreds of people from the court entered the Palace of Fire and the Night's Watch to conduct a thorough investigation.

The news immediately triggered reactions from various forces, and even the Divine Dynasty was shaken.

"Investigate, investigate, investigate! The court only knows how to investigate its own people; it's utterly despicable."

"If you have so much energy, why not deal with the Abyss?"

"It's only been a few years, what is the court doing now?"

"..."

Many people are very dissatisfied with, and even disgusted by, the court's actions.

"The problem with the torch is the fault of the Palace of Flame and the Night's Watch. The Inquisition should investigate thoroughly and find the traitor."

"Countless people have already suffered because of the torch relay, and the Divine Dynasty must give the people an explanation for this matter."

"The court should have investigated thoroughly long ago and brought all the traitors to justice."

"..."

Many people also support the court.

The torches are controlled by the Palace of Fire, and all the torches in various places are cast by the Palace of Fire.

The Night Watchman is responsible for guarding the torch and communicating with it.

Now that there's a problem with the torch, a thorough investigation of the Palace of the Flame and the Night's Watch is justified.

The two departments were too large, and the court was too understaffed. After six months, only a portion of the cases had been investigated.

As the Tribunal continued its thorough investigation, the Abyss and the Rebel God Cult resorted to their old tricks, launching another large-scale attack on the Divine Dynasty.

Many cities in the Divine Dynasty have fallen, and the situation is dire.

The Grand Marshal of the Divine Dynasty Expeditionary Force initiated the Eternal Council, and Li Xuancang and others gathered together.

As the initiator of the meeting, Ling Yunxiao was the first to speak.

"Gentlemen, the Abyss and the Reverse God Cult have recently launched a fierce attack, causing the Divine Dynasty to suffer heavy losses. We must unite our forces against them in order to ensure the survival of the Divine Dynasty."

Ling Yunxiao's words were pointed, and everyone understood the underlying meaning.

He wanted Li Xuancang to stop his thorough investigation of the Night Watchmen and the Firewood Palace, freeing up manpower and quelling the turbulent forces from all sides.

Everyone looked at Li Xuancang, waiting for his answer, putting pressure on him in an invisible way.

Despite the stares of the crowd, Li Xuancang remained unfazed.

"The Abyss and the Reverse God Cult are reacting in this way because they don't want us to continue our thorough investigation. That's why the investigation must be carried out to the end and cannot be stopped."

Li Xuancang's attitude was resolute and left no room for doubt.

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly became heavy and oppressive, almost suffocating.

"Lord Li, the Court of Judgment has the power to oversee the entire realm, but it must exercise this power only on the premise of ensuring the safety of the Divine Dynasty. We urge Lord Li to consider the overall situation and think twice before acting."

Zhang Mingyang, the head of the ruling hall, looked at Li Xuancang and spoke in a deep voice.

The ruling hall only cares about maintaining stability; they don't care about anything else.

So what if they are traitors? As long as the Divine Dynasty can survive, they don't mind making compromises.

They have compromised time and time again over the years, so what's one more time?

"The Tribunal's thorough investigation will not end; anyone who dares to obstruct it is betraying the Divine Dynasty."

Li Xuancang's gaze swept over everyone, leaving no room for negotiation.

Since he is the deputy presiding judge, he must shoulder his responsibilities.

Even if it meant having his bone dug out for treatment or having to cut off his own arm, he would never back down.

The Divine Dynasty is rotten to the core; if he wants to change it, he must carry out his will to the very end.

Li Xuancang ignored the ashen-faced crowd and turned to leave.

"Bang!"

Zhang Mingyang slammed his hand on the table, shattering it, and said angrily, "We should never have agreed to his promotion to Vice Court Master in the first place."

Faced with the stubborn Li Xuancang, everyone was furious but helpless.

The court has too much power. Now that the law is in seclusion and the other two presiding judges have important responsibilities, the court can make decisions with a single word from Li Xuancang.

He was determined to investigate thoroughly, and no one could stop him.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, news spread from the Hall of Regents that the Court of Judgment had disregarded the overall situation and acted arbitrarily, quickly sweeping through the entire Divine Dynasty.

Many people have launched a scathing attack on the courtroom, hurling insults and condemnations at it.

Despite pressure from all sides, Li Xuancang instructed the court to continue its in-depth investigation and find the traitor.

Shortly afterward, the Fifth Army Corps sent people to request reinforcements.

The Abyss launched an attack on Blackrock Fortress, and the Fifth Legion suffered heavy losses and urgently needs reinforcements.

The Fifth Legion was stationed at Blackrock Fortress and could not afford to lose it. Li Xuancang and others quickly gathered at the Eternal Council to discuss support matters.

"The Fifth Army Corps is under attack; reinforcements are urgently needed."

Ling Yunxiao spoke solemnly, setting the tone for the meeting.

"Support will primarily come from the Expeditionary Force and the Night's Watch, with other departments providing full support."

Li Xuancang explained his plans.

The expeditionary force far outnumbered the ten legions, and they were the main force providing support.

Although the Night Watchmen, Sword Pavilion, Gun Tower, and Knife Mountain departments are few in number, they are all strong, and each department must send its own forces to provide support.

"Isn't the court going to intervene?"

Hong Xuanji, the head of the Night Watch, looked at Li Xuancang and asked in a cold voice.

"The court has its duties. As long as you each perform your duties and do your part, what is there to fear from the abyss?"

Faced with Hong Xuanji's provocation, Li Xuancang was not to be outdone.

"Let's arrange it this way!"

Dongfang Shenhuo immediately expressed its stance.

"agree!"

I second that.

"Agreed."

"..."

No one objected, and everyone immediately went to make the arrangements.

After returning to his palace, Su Xinghai was carrying a large number of monster corpses back with him.

"Xinghai, I suspect there might be a problem with the Fifth Legion. You and Wei Tianfeng should secretly go to Blackstone Fortress and act according to the situation."

As the court was about to find the key person, the Fifth Legion kept requesting reinforcements, and Li Xuancang had a feeling that something was going to happen to the Fifth Legion.

Feeling uneasy, he decided to send Su Xinghai himself.

"Yes, ma'am."

Before long, Su Xinghai and Wei Tianfeng secretly left.

More than a month later, the army supported by the imperial court set off and marched in a mighty force toward Black Stone Fortress.

The empire has too many redundant departments, so it's already quite an achievement that the army can set off within a month.

Blackrock Fortress is an important pass, and the Divine Dynasty has built a teleportation array so that its army can arrive quickly.

To avoid being discovered, Su Xinghai and his companion did not travel to Blackstone Fortress via the teleportation array.

The two had not yet arrived when the army arrived.

"Boom!"

The moment the army stepped into the teleportation array, the array trembled violently, the array patterns shattered, and the array was on the verge of collapse.

"Oh no, the formation is malfunctioning! Take action quickly!"

The people in charge of the formation hall were shocked and hurriedly used all means to try to stabilize the formation.

"Someone is destroying the great formation on the other side."

The people in the Array Hall instantly turned pale, terrified, and trembled like leaves.

The teleportation array on the other side was destroyed, so even if they had extraordinary abilities, they couldn't defy fate.

Once the teleportation array is destroyed, those who enter it will be lost in the void, with unimaginable consequences.

"At all costs, stabilize the formation and ensure the safe arrival of the army."

The people of the Formation Hall did everything in their power and used every means possible, just to hold out for a little longer.
