It seems that they came to the door for this matter. However, I will always face it, so I let Celestial Soldiers They were brought in. “ Heavenly Emperor With eyes wide open, the whole hall fell silent for a moment, no one spoke naturally, and I wouldn't speak first, but I wanted to see what would happen to these people. Maybe they had been kneeling for a long time, so those immortals Unable to hold it any longer, one of the immortals stood up and bowed, "Heavenly Emperor, we are here for Celestial Sage." The one who spoke was Tai Ding Immortal "Well, tell me, What's wrong?" I looked at him expressionlessly Tai Ding Immortal and was stunned for a moment. It seemed that I couldn't understand his mood at this time. I hesitated for a while and said, "We think Heavenly Emperor is doing Celestial Sage Something is wrong Heavenly Emperor should not be so reckless." After saying this, a murderous aura burst out from my body, shooting towards every immortal family present. Within a moment, I saw the appearance on the faces of these immortal families. His expression turned pale and his body became shaky. It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore. I glanced at them lightly and said, "That person has been killed by me. The various immortal families have come to ask me for an explanation. They are still here to punish sins, or in other words, all immortal families are just like Celestial Sage, they are all members of Former Heavenly Court. If people from Former Heavenly Court, I think the fate of each immortal family should be the same. Celestial Sage will have the same fate, what do you think?" As soon as I said this, all the immortals closed their mouths and lowered their heads. Obviously, they had seen my anger and no one wanted to run into me. On the muzzle of the gun, not to mention risking their own lives. I am very satisfied with their expressions at this time, and the corners of my mouth slightly raised, "I know everyone's worries, but as long as everyone has only one heart, then I will not Do you have any murderous intentions towards everyone? If, like CelestialSage, you have two intentions and want to avenge Former Heavenly Court, then don’t blame me for being rude. After all, I can’t tolerate it in my eyes. Such a person" 0
 
 
As soon as I spoke, they seemed to understand something and began to express their sincerity towards me. 0
 
With the matter of the Celestial Sage, no one dared to speak further. I noticed that my words had stunned them, so I chose not to continue. They too sensed the heavy atmosphere and decided to withdraw. 0
 
"The Heavenly Emperor truly commands respect; you have silenced them," Taishang Laojun immediately praised me after they left. 0
 
I smiled lightly and gazed deeply at Taishang Laojun without saying a word. He trembled slightly, a guilty expression crossing his face as he said, "Heavenly Emperor, I am absolutely loyal to you." 0
 
I continued to look at Taishang Laojun in silence. His unease grew as he repeated, "Heavenly Emperor, Taishang Laojun is absolutely loyal to you." 0
 
"Is that so? Then let me ask you, when Ruoxi was about to speak, there was a shadow around her. Whose shadow was it?" I coldly questioned Taishang Laojun. 0
 
Upon hearing my words, Taishang Laojun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Heavenly Emperor, it was a moment of confusion for me. I hope you will not hold it against me; I will not do such a thing again." 0
 
I snorted coldly, my gaze darkening as I unconsciously exuded the aura of the Heavenly Emperor. I could see the pain etched on Taishang Laojun's face as wisps of celestial energy began to emanate from him. 0
 
"Heavenly Emperor, please don’t! Taishang Laojun knows he was wrong!" 0
 
Seeing that it was about time, I retracted my aura and said, "I will give you a chance. You are responsible for ensuring Ruoxi's safety. If anything happens to her, it will be on you." 0
 
"Yes, thank you, Heavenly Emperor," Taishang Laojun replied. 0
 
"Good. Now go check on how Ruoxi is doing," I instructed him. 0
 
After Taishang Laojun bowed to me, he flew away. 0
 
Watching his disappearing figure, my heart grew heavy. Clearly, these celestial beings harbored ulterior motives towards me. I needed to quickly select my own trusted allies. With Xiaomei still in that world with Feng Ju, she wouldn’t be returning anytime soon. 0
 
Thus, what I needed to do was descend once more into the mortal realm and choose some individuals. 0
 
Ruoxi was being looked after by Taishang Laojun; there shouldn’t be any issues on that front. 0
 
 
After thinking for a while, I immediately descended to the mortal realm. Over time, the world had improved significantly. 0
 
I revealed my true form, taking on the appearance of an ordinary person. 0
 
As I wandered nearby, I began to hear a bustling noise coming from the vicinity. 0
 
Soon, I saw many people approaching, looking very anxious, as if something significant was about to happen. I glanced around and noticed they seemed to be heading somewhere, so I decided to follow them. 0
 
"I heard that Old Li's Family is about to have another child." 0
 
"Yes, but this is after so many children have died. I wonder if this one will be born safely." 0
 
"Who knows? But if this child dies too, I think Old Li will be left without heirs." 0
 
"Isn't that right? But the situation with Old Li's Family is strange. How could they have so many infants die in succession?" 0
 
"You don't know the whole story. Old Li's Family once caused the death of a girl. I believe that must be why this is happening." 0
 
"What happened?" 0
 
One woman looked at another in surprise, and I found myself drawn into their conversation, focusing my attention on them. 0
 
"You don’t know? Previously, Old Li's Family wanted to find a wife for their son. You know how rare girls are in our area; it’s incredibly difficult to find a satisfactory bride. Eventually, Old Li's Family came up with an idea to buy a wife from human traffickers. The wife they bought was very strong-willed and definitely unsuitable for their family. Moreover, she became pregnant! Just think about it—she got pregnant before even marrying their son! That would mean she had been with someone else first. How could Old Li's Family accept that? They forced her to abort the child and then tried to coerce her into having relations with their son. When she refused, she bit her tongue and committed suicide. After that incident, Old Li's Family was terrified of the trouble it might bring them, so they buried the girl that very night. Not long after that, they somehow managed to find another wife. This new wife was very obedient and within six months became pregnant with a grandchild for Old Li's Family. However, ever since then, strange occurrences have followed; every time a child is about to be born, it turns out to be a dead infant. Isn’t that eerie?" 0
 
"Oh my God, is that really true?" The woman was startled by what she heard. 0
 
"Isn’t it? Everyone around here knows. Whenever Old Li's Family is about to have a baby, people come from all over to see. They say you can even see the ghost of that deceased girl at the scene when a child is born." 0
 
 
"Ah, that's terrifying." 0
 
I absorbed their words; it seemed this matter was not as simple as it appeared. 0
 
I followed them to Old Li's Family, which consisted of several small tile-roofed houses. 0
 
By the time we arrived, Old Li's Family was already crowded with people, likely drawn by curiosity. 0
 
Looking around, I noticed that the feng shui of Old Li's Family seemed off, as if shrouded by a lingering resentment. 0
 
Furrowing my brow, I detached my essence from my physical body and entered Old Li's Family. 0
 
Once inside, I found that Old Li's Family was enveloped in a thick miasma, especially around the pregnant woman who was about to give birth; the miasma was particularly dense there. 0
 
In such circumstances, how could the pregnant woman possibly give birth smoothly? 0
 
As I scanned the area, I noticed a Wraith hovering above the pregnant woman. 0
 
It was female. 0
 
Could this Wraith be the "Girl" that the women had mentioned? I saw the Wraith intently watching the laboring woman. Just then, the midwife arrived. The people of Old Li's Family looked at her as if she were a savior, tightly surrounding her and saying, "Midwife, please take a look at our daughter-in-law. Why is she so still?" 0
 
At that moment, I realized that the laboring woman seemed to have lost all movement. Normally, a woman close to giving birth would be in pain and crying out. 0
 
However, this woman showed no signs of life at all; it was truly strange. She looked as if she were asleep. 0
 
"Don't panic; let me check," said the midwife as she approached the laboring woman. Just as she leaned down to examine her, suddenly, the woman opened her eyes. In an instant, she startled the midwife, who stumbled back a few steps. By the time the midwife regained her composure, she shouted, "This is bad! The laboring woman has been possessed by a Wraith!" 0
 
 
At the sound that just emerged, everyone was startled and took several steps back, fearing they might be implicated. The midwife left. 0
 
After the midwife departed, the woman in labor suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with a deep sorrow, as if she were gritting her teeth in resentment. 0
 
I squinted; there was still a dark shadow lingering around the woman in labor. It seemed that the vengeful spirit had entered her body. What the midwife saw earlier was indeed real. 0
 
"What is happening?" a middle-aged man said, stunned as he looked at the somewhat deranged woman. 0
 
"Could it really be that Hui'er has possessed her?" another middle-aged woman seemed to realize something. 0
 
"Impossible! It's not like our family wronged her; it's all her own doing. It has nothing to do with us," a Young Man replied. 0
 
It appeared that he was the husband of the woman in labor. 0
