Chapter 1301: Identity of the Priestess
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
It’s only natural that the sacred ground of the Devil Mountain, the place of faith for all devils of the Myriad Devil Islands, would have prejudice towards immortal cultivators.
The countenance of the Child of Darkness was extremely ugly to behold. As the one of the nine children of darkness, at the devil-foundation realm, he would become one of the successors of the Dark King. But today outside the sacred ground of the Devil Mountain, he actually lost to an immortal realm cultivator. He knew this would undoubtedly affect his future.
His cold and dark eyes surveyed Qin Wentian, wanting nothing more than to tear him apart. Even if the Judiciary Hall’s ruling was on his side, some things once happened, can never be reversed.

My Myriad Ancient Devil Hall naturally wouldn’t oppose the judgement if it is fair. We want to personally see a priest of the Judiciary Hall administering the judgement.
An expert from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall icily spoke. There was naturally a need for rules on the Devil Mountain, and the Judiciary Hall was in charge of all of this. Once a conflict happens, the Judiciary Devil Hall would step in. Their words were judgement, no one could defy them.
Even for other devil halls situated at the peak, they still had to comply with the will of the Judiciary Devil Hall. During judgement, their will equates to the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign.

Fine.
The eyes of that expert from the Judiciary Hall turned cold as he glanced at the people from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall. Right now from afar, another group of experts from the Judiciary Devil Hall was rushing here.

A conflict erupted in the sacred ground, and two priests both rushed here at the same time. Well done.
That expert from the Judiciary Hall coldly stared at the people from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall. It has been a very long time since anyone dared to create a conflict here in the Saint Devil Hall.
The people of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall coldly snorted. If one was to look at the true cause, everything happened because of the Child of Darkness’s arrogance. He felt that Qin Wentian, this immortal realm cultivator, was making a futile attempt to enter the Saint Devil Hall and should be killed for that. He also believed he would be able to kill Qin Wentian easily, yet he didn’t expect that he would be defeated, causing this commotion.
There were seven great priests of the Judiciary Devil Hall and each of them possessed immense authority. Their cultivation base were different but they were all inheritors of the Judiciary Hall and might become the successor in the future.
These two from the Judiciary Hall were extremely conspicuous in the crowd. They wore long robes and blood-colored armor, exuding an incomparable imposingness.
In addition, one was a priest while the other was a priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall.
The priestess was also clad in priest garb, her lanky body and alluring curves were especially evident. Her long hair draped her shoulders and there was a blood-red laurel on her head, yet no body dared to have any profane thoughts towards her.
This priestess was none other than the priestess Qin Wentian met before in the sacred academy. Also, she had once helped Qingcheng. The collar of her robes extended upwards, forming a visor over her face, obscuring her features, preventing probes by immortal sense. Only those beautiful eyes of hers, that was gleaming with light, could be seen.

We pay our respect to priest and priestess.
Those experts from the Judiciary Devil Hall bowed. The priest walked over, his expression was like ice as he stared at the crowd.
Why are you all creating trouble here in the sacred ground?


The Child of Darkness had a conflict with the immortal realm cultivator. The Child of Darkness was defeated and the immortal cultivator sought to kill him, and eventually ended up being blocked and injured by experts from the Darkness Hall. Your subordinate did a judgement, my judgement is that the Child of Darkness will not be able to enter the Saint Devil Hall within a year while this immortal cultivator, although he ascended the mountain, he disregarded the rules, and ought to be judged and killed.
That subordinate bowed.

Since this is the case, we will just follow your judgement. What’s all the ruckus about?
The voice of the priest was filled with certainty, like it was a forgone conclusion. The expressions of those from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall turned unsightly. Although Qin Wentian was only the good friend of Bujie and had nothing to do with them, the founder of their hall was from the immortal realms after all. Hence, they weren’t so dead set in their attitude towards immortal realm cultivators. They felt that since Qin Wentian could ascend the mountain, he should be equal to everyone else.

It was the Child of Darkness who first said he wanted to kill this cultivator from the immortal realms, causing the immortal realm cultivator to defend against him. If you want to judge, everyone should be punished together isn’t that right?
The expert from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall continued.

When did the people of your hall have the power to judge?
That young man swept his gaze over to the expert of the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall as he coldly asked.

The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall naturally doesn’t have the power to provide judgement, but they have an obligation to tell the truth of what happened, to allow us to have a better idea on how to judge.
At this moment, when everyone thought that the dust has already settled, a different voice rang out. This voice was glacial, as though there was no emotions within.
Everyone inclined their heads and turned over. The person who spoke was actually the priestess. This couldn’t help but cause the eyes of everyone to flash. Could it be both of the priest and priestess have different opinions?

Tell me the complete story.
The priestess stated.

Right.
The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall’s expert spoke. He pointed to Qin Wentian,
This man is a cultivator from the immortal realms but since he ascended the mountain, it means that he has obtained the approval of the Myriad Devil Sovereign. He intends to take a look at the Saint Devil Hall but was obstructed by the Child of Darkness. This man was unwilling to accept that and wished to continue proceeding forward. The Child of Darkness said that he would kill him and used an ultimate art from the Darkness Hall, yet it was insufficient to take the immortal cultivator’s life. He was eventually defeated instead and under anger, this immortal cultivator might have acted a little too heavily. I don’t know if he had the intention to kill the Child of Darkness, but he was blocked by a devil king from the Darkness Hall before his strike could land. The devil king directly injured this cultivator and wanted him to die. That devil king was blocked by me and after that, that person from the Judiciary Devil Hall arrived. This is the summary of events, Priestess.


Is this true?
The priestess turned her gaze to the crowd.
Outside the sacred ground, under the radiant light of the Myriad Devil Sovereign, if there’s someone who dares to lie to the Judiciary Hall, you best be prepared for the consequences.

Nobody replied. Evidently, the summary of what happened was pretty accurate.

The judgement earlier, do you think that it should be overruled?
The priestess asked the priest.

For what? The Darkness Devil Hall is a hall which co-existed with the Saint Devil Hall right at the start, and the Child of Darkness did what he did only to prevent the immortal realm cultivator from entering the sacred ground. There’s nothing wrong with his action.
The priest replied. Clearly, it was impossible for him to overrule his own judgement.

As a priest of the Judiciary Hall, we should only take orders from the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign and forget everything else. Even for someone with a status like the Child of Darkness, he shouldn’t influence our judgement at all. This is then the essence of our Judiciary Hall. Have you forgotten it?
The priestess coldly spoke, causing the priest’s expression to turn heavy.
He naturally understood this, however on one side was a Child of Darkness while on the other side was an immortal realm cultivator. When they made the judgement, how could they have not considered everything? It was just that he didn’t expect that the opinion of this priestess was completely different from his.

So what do you think the judgement should be?
The priest asked.

The Child of Darkness intended to use the influence of his status to betray the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign. The right to enter the Saint Devil Hall will henceforth, be removed from him for all his life. This immortal cultivator only reacted in such a manner because he was being forced to, hence he is not guilty of everything. The devil king from the Darkness Hall actually sought to kill this immortal cultivator after the Child of Darkness was defeated. His actions are clearly shielding the Child of Darkness despite knowing that he was wrong, betraying the will of the sovereign. He should be severely punished, his cultivation base shall be striped from him.

The cold voice of the priestess rang out, causing everyone to tremble in shock. Even the experts from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall couldn’t help but to feel their hearts shuddering, as all of them stared at the priestess.
Although such a judgement was iron-handed and fair, the person she wanted to judge was an expert of the Darkness Hall, as well as a Child of Darkness. Wasn’t this person being too forceful? If Qin Wentian was someone with a cultivator from the devil mountain with a status equal to the Child of Darkness, it was possible for this judgement to appear. But he was someone from the immortal realms and the priestess actually still made such a judgement.
The expressions of the experts from the Darkness Hall and the Child of Darkness himself, all changed, becoming extremely cold. As part of the three original halls guarding the Saint Devil Hall, the status of the Darkness Hall was equal to the Judiciary Hall. The position of Judgement Priests and Children of Darkness were the same as well. However at this moment, this female priestess actually made such a judgement.

You are truly very impudent.
The eyes of the Child of Darkness was like ice. The Judiciary Devil Hall has the power to administer judgement, if the judgement was effective, he would instantly be barred from entering the Saint Devil Hall for the rest of his life. That, in combination with his defeat, his position as the Child of Darkness was already destined to be thrown into the trash.

As a priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall, I will naturally obey the will of the sovereign. When I make my judgement, I will do my best to ensure its fairness and nothing can stop me.
The priestess icily replied. She then turned to the priest,
If you feel that my judgement is erroneous, we can go back and seek the opinion of a Grand Priest.

The eyes of the priest flickered, the status of a Grand Priest was transcendent and was something for those priests and priestesses of the Judiciary Devil Hall, who managed to reach the devil emperor realm, can be promoted to in the future. The Grand Priests of the Judiciary Hall only reported to one man who was above them, the king priest, which was none other than the absolute authority on all judgements.

Since you believe your judgement is accurate, I’m naturally willing to step out. You can make the judgement for this case.
The eyes of the priest flashed as he retreated. His subordinates stepped back with him, causing the eyes of everyone to flash. They all understood how sinister this priest was. Even for places like the Judiciary Devil Hall, there would also be competition between its members. There’s a total of seven priests and three Grand Priests. As for the position of the king priest, there can only be one person with that rank.
This priest clearly wants to cause the priestess offend the entire Darkness Devil Hall.

Since this is the case, my judgement is this. Bring the Child of Darkness back to the Darkness Hall immediately. He shall be barred from entering the Saint Devil Hall for life and as for that devil king who acted earlier, his cultivation base will be crippled.
The priestess calmly spoke, her voice could even sever iron, causing the hearts of everyone here to tremble ceaselessly.

YOU DARE?
The Child of Darkness roared. An extremely terrifying devil might erupted forth from that devil king.

As devil cultivators, you should know what the consequences are if you disobey my judgement.
The priestess waved her hand. An instant later, the experts behind her all stepped out. The Child of Darkness naturally didn’t want to obey, and at this moment a devil king tried to make a move, but how could he succeed? He was instantly suppressed.
As for that devil king who was pronounced judgement, he was extremely enraged. Three devil kings from the Judiciary Hall all acted against him at this exact moment, and when a judgement scepter pierced into his body, that devil king roared in pain, shocking the hearts of everyone who heard it.
The Judiciary Devil Hall was as expected of their reputation, using iron-handed methods with no fear of consequences. In their eyes, there’s only judgement.

Bai Qing, you will definitely regret if you act against my Darkness Devil Hall!
The Child of Darkness howled in anger.
