Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1881  The Fifth Beast

Seeing that his time here had come to an end, Lin Mu didn't want to impose any longer than necessary.

"Thank you for your help guardians, I hope to see you all again someday in the future." Lin Mu said before taking his leave.

<nulli>~shua~

He took a step back and found himself in the dark corridor where he had entered from. He looked back and no sign of the Guardian hall could be seen anymore.

<nulli>~Sigh~

"Guess only when they permit can one enter inside." Lin Mu muttered and walked back to where High Elder Juxue and Crown Prince Feng Shun were waiting.

Once he was gone though, the atmosphere inside the Guardian hall changed.

It became incredibly serious as the four guardians looked at the brown runes floating in the center.

"We pay our respects to the Senior!" The Four Guardians said and bowed their heads.

~<nulli>SHUA~

A new statue rose from the floor and emanated a regal presence. The statue was different from the four statues of the guardians.

It dedicated another beast that was also a Dragon!

<nulli>~HONG~

The statue glowed in a yellow light, and a figure emerged from it. The figure took the form of a giant yellow dragon with four legs and a long body. Each of its legs had five claws and they were incredibly sharp.

Its tail was strong and coiled around its body. The Dragon's head was wider than the Azure Dragon's head and its whiskers were also longer. The horns in its head had multiple prongs and were dark brown in color.

Its eyes though were the most impressive, holding a beautiful yellow color as if they were topaz gemstones.

Its entire body exuded the aura of a ruler and all those that looked at it would feel like bowing to it.

"The Azure Dragon pays their respect to the Yellow Dragon of the Center."

"The Vermillion Bird pays their respect to the symbol of Earth."

"The Black Tortoise pays their respect to the Dragon Of the changing Seasons."

"The White Tiger pays their respect to the Ruler of the Four Guardians."

The four guardians greeted respectfully while deeply bowing their heads.

After all the being that had appeared was none other than the Yellow Dragon!

It was the fifth beast that ruled over the four Guardians.

They ruled over the four immortal courts and ensured that their workings were just and according to the rules. They ensured that the four guardian clans behaved and that there was order in the universe.

It was the clan that was looked up to by the four guardian clans and also the one that represented the concept of 'Ruler'.

The Yellow Dragon of Center and the representative of Earth among the five elements!

If Lin Mu were here, he would have found it all unbelievable. After all, the four guardians bowing to someone else was simply unthinkable to most.

The Yellow Dragon's eyes looked at the four guardian beasts for a few moments, before it let out a breath.

"I believe you know why I'm here." The Yellow Dragon spoke.

"Yes, it is pertaining to the events that happened today." The Vermilion Bird took the lead.

"You are correct." The Yellow Dragon replied. "The reputation of the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts has been tarnished!" it said out loud, making the hall shake.

The four guardian beasts said nothing in response and stayed silent. They knew there was also a fault on their side, even if they were forced to not respond with Xukong being there.

"As such, I now bring the decree." The Yellow Dragon stated.

"The Four Guardians accept the decree." They replied.

"It has been decided that Feng Baxing, the third son of the current Emperor Feng and prince of the Dao Wind Empire, has been deemed to have committed unforgivable crimes against the Temple during the Tournament.

As such, he is sentenced to lifelong servitude in the Nox Mire World." The Yellow Dragon declared.

Hearing the sentence, the Four Guardian beasts became somber.

"Senior, I do not know if that will be possible." The Azure Dragon interjected.

"And why's that?" the Yellow Dragon asked.

"The criminal is comatose and is also crippled. His body has started to age and his cultivation is regressing. We do not know if he'll be alive for the sentence." The Azure Dragon answered.

"How did that happen?" The Yellow Dragon furrowed its brows.

"That…" The Guardians showed some hesitance due to the powers involved.

"Perhaps you should see the series of events that happened yourself." The Vermillion bird suggested.

"Very well." The Yellow Dragon replied and saw a formation screen appearing.

In it the scene of the tournament was shown. Right from when Feng Baxing made the mistake all the way to spatial tears appearing, as well as the prince getting crippled. Even the warning given by the creator of the colossal Cloud Serpent was seen.

The more the Yellow Dragon watched, the more complex its expression got. And when it saw the being hidden inside the Spatial Tears, its expression wavered. After the entire recording ended, the Yellow Dragon did not speak.

"This complicates things…" The Yellow Dragon spoke.

"We took some actions considering who was involved, but couldn't proceed any further without the superiors' input." The Black tortoise stated.

"You all made the right decision. If that great being is involved, we really can't afford to do much. The elders of the courts and clans would rather wash their hands off the entire matter and sweep it under the rug than even think of the great being." The Yellow Dragon said before letting out a sigh.

<nulli>~sigh~

"Still… Even if the punishment was meted out to Feng Baxing, he still needs to pay his dues to the Temple. If not him, his father shall pay it." The Yellow Dragon stated.

"The Emperor? Surely we can't send him to the Nox Mire World." The White Tiger spoke.

"He doesn't have to go there. He'll pay for the crimes of his son in other ways. And not just him… The Holy Topaz Emperor too… His niece is also a criminal." The Yellow Dragon replied.
