"Arrest this man," Feiyue declared.
Without hesitation, the elders moved to arrest the Sect Leader.
No one there was crazy enough to disobey the orders of a Celestial Empress.
Feiyue's cold eyes fell on her own husband, who shuddered under that piercing gaze.
He was the sect's Grand Elder; he knew it too. And she knew that he knew.
All the Stellar Sovereigns of the Cosmic Void Sect knew it.
"My love… I didn't—"
"ENOUGH!" Feiyue roared, her voice cutting through the air like a sharpened blade.
"How dare you send our own son-in-law to such a fate?! Tell me! I warned you of Qingyi's importance, and yet you delivered him to the gates of death?!"
Feiyue pressed her hand against her husband's throat, her slender fingers sinking into his trembling flesh.
"I did not marry a coward capable of sacrificing his own daughter's love. I married a man who would defy the heavens themselves for his daughter's happiness!"
