Lin Mu hadn't expected that even High Elder Juxue wouldn't be free from the effects of the Slate Grey energy.

The energy had entered the old man's hand, but thankfully he was fast enough in withdrawing. Hence only a sliver of it was in his hand which was being suppressed by his Immortal qi.

"We need to probably get rid of Yao Changying to stop this energy, High Elder." Lin Mu spoke.

Hearing that the high elder's expression became cold.

"We were suspicious when the arrays stopped responding to our commands, but this just confirms it." High Elder Juxue said a hint of anger in his voice. "Yao Changying is behind it. Not only did she break the rules of the tournament by interfering with the working of the arrays, she has also used a unorthodox foul energy like this." He stated.

"Is that why the Spatial Plane collapse?" Lin Mu started to realize.

"Indeed. We had to forcibly break the arrays when they stopped responding to us." High Elder Juxue replied. "This has never happened before, and is a spit on the face of the Temple of the Four Guardians." The man was evidently not very pleased.

'Looks like Yao Changying's end is all but decided at this point.' Lin Mu reckoned but still felt doubtful.

He didn't know why Yao Changying would go to this extent as the gains from it did not seem worth it. Not only had see revealed her ploy to the Temple, she had also lost to Lin Mu. Granted the official declaration was yet to be made.

"Suppress her and seal her cultivation." High Elder Juxue gave out the order. "Yao Changying has committed and offense against the temple and its tournament's tenets. She has attempted to not only kill Daoist Mu Lin, but even used lethal techniques that can spread to others." He announced to the people his voice being heard all over the city!

"As such, I declare that Yao Changying is effectively disqualified and Daoist Mu Lin is the winner." High Elder Juxue declared. "Furthermore, the Holy Topaz Dynasty's representative is to report to me." He added, his eyes scanning the people in the audience as if looking for someone.

Uproar broke out among the audience as something like this hadn't happened before. Especially when it concerned someone of a very strong background like Yao Changying.

It wasn't even a case of someone being a noble, Yao Changying was the niece of the Holy Topaz Emperor!

This would be the same as someone accusing the Crown Prince Feng Shun of treason.

It was such a sensitive matter that it could very well lead to a war if not handled properly. Thankfully, the offended party this time was the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts instead of someone of another empire.

The Holy Topaz Dynasty needed to take the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts very seriously and even the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect will inevitably be pulled into this.

Some of the experienced people could also guess that the Huiqing empire and the Dao Wind Empire would be taking full advantage of this to suppress the Holy Topaz Dynasty.
