Outside the South Celestial Gate, tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers shouted in unison:
"Move back!"
The shadows on the periphery indeed retreated several dozen zhang, and the area before the South Celestial Gate suddenly became much more open.
Then, eight senior ministers filed out, riding clouds and standing on either side.
Li Ping'an, clad in a black robe, rode the cloud out of the South Celestial Gate, nodding slightly towards the crowd of Immortals ahead.
A golden-armored commander scolded, "In the presence of the Heavenly Emperor! Dare you not bow!"
These Qi Cultivators of the Human Race who had come to the Heavenly Court to seek justice didn't feel any obvious pressure from Li Ping'an, but they recalled that strike Li Ping'an had previously dealt to Zhunti, and all the varied silhouettes of Li Ping'an within heaven and earth.
One person bowed their head in salute.
