The Matter of Being Conferred Marquis
"The Immortal King actually wants to discuss this with us?"
"I wonder if it's true? He even wants to gather the other five elders? I think he's probably trying to fool us. "
"Hmph, the other five elders are all supporters of Ji Woo. Now, the Immortal King has mobilized so many resources from the treasury, worth more than one billion Jade Nascent Pills, and they've been sent to Excalibur. Who doesn't know that Luo Zheng is on good terms with Ji Woo and even accompanied Ji Woo into the Nine Underworlds Devil Land? On the surface, these resources were given to Luo Zheng, but I think most of them will fall into Ji Woo's hands in the end! "
"After Tiange obtained the position of Emperor, she didn't get any benefits. Instead, it was the crippled Ji Woo who received the Immortal King's care. If word gets out, it's simply a joke."
"And that little bastard Luo Zheng must also be eliminated. This child comes from a lowly background, but he's very arrogant. He even disrespected the Emperor in front of everyone. He deserves to die!"
"We must oppose this matter. We absolutely can't agree to this. These resources belong to the Heaven Court. Even if they're taken out, they'll fall into the hands of Emperor Tiange. We can't let the Immortal King overlook this matter."
Hearing the Yellow Heavenly King's words, the five elders didn't immediately agree. Instead, they secretly communicated with each other through telepathy.
Then, Ji Si said, "Since the Immortal King has already made arrangements, then we'll wait for the other five elders to arrive."
Not long after, the other five elders also entered the palace.
Below the Yellow Heavenly King's purple jade throne, another ten seats appeared, and the ten elders sat down one after another.
"This time, I've invited all of you here because I have something to discuss with you. It's been many years since a new marquis has appeared in the Yellow Heaven Court …"
The Yellow Heavenly King said.
However, just as the Yellow Heavenly King opened his mouth, Ji Si stood up and interrupted, "Immortal King, I think we should first discuss the matter of the treasures from the Heaven Court's treasury falling into Excalibur's hands."
When they heard the Yellow Heavenly King talk about the Marquises of the Heaven Court, the five elders who supported Ji Tian Ge thought the Yellow Heavenly King was deliberately talking about something else. He didn't want them to talk about the treasure.
After all, in the Yellow Heaven Court, as long as one's accumulated merits reached a certain level, they would naturally be conferred the title of Marquis. There was no need for further discussion.
Moreover, the fewer Marquises there were, the greater the benefits for the Yellow Heaven Court.
Once a person was conferred the title of Marquis, they would have to be given a fief. The taxes, resources, and even talents of the fief would all be controlled by the Marquis. Naturally, the Yellow Heaven Court's benefits would be greatly reduced.
"Elder Ji Si, could it be that you've forgotten that I've already said that what I'm going to say is related to that matter?"
The Yellow Heavenly King's gaze turned cold. He looked at Ji Si and the other elders and said coldly, "You don't trust this King?"
"We don't dare!"
"Immortal King, you're exaggerating."
"The Marquises of the Heaven Court don't seem to have anything to do with that matter. Elder Ji Si is just afraid that the Immortal King will forget."
The few of them kept quiet out of fear and quickly explained.
Although the ten great elders also had great power, the Yellow Heaven Court was still dominated by the Immortal King. The power of the ten great elders also came from the Immortal King's conferment.
The ten great elders in the Yellow Heaven Court were only used by the Yellow Heavenly King to balance the various forces in the Heaven Court.
"Hmph, since you're so anxious, then this King will tell you that those treasures belong to Luo Zheng!"
The Yellow Heavenly King said lightly.
"What? Among those treasures, there's a large amount of Yin and Yang Essence, as well as heavenly treasures of fire, wood, water, and thunder attributes. There are even many materials for refining Taoist weapons and high-grade Immortal Pills. The most important thing is that middle-grade Taoist weapon, which is a rare high-quality item! What ability does that Luo Zheng have to obtain these things?! "
"I hope the Immortal King can give an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, if this matter spreads, many people in the Heaven Court will not accept it!"
"These things can only be obtained after accumulating at least one or two million merits. Many generals in the Heaven Court have risked their lives to obtain one or two percent of these treasures. If the Immortal King doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid that people will be disappointed!"
Ji Si, Ji Jin, Zhou Huai, Guo Zhi, Wang Kai, and the others all stood up excitedly.
"Disappoint people?"
The Yellow Heavenly King smiled and said, "Elders, rest assured that this King will never do anything that will disappoint the people of the Heaven Court. Everything that Luo Zheng obtains must be something that he deserves. This time, I've gathered all the elders to talk about the division of fiefs after Luo Zheng is conferred the title of Marquis. "
"What! That little bastard wants to be conferred the title of Marquis? How can this be! "
Ji Si immediately exclaimed with a ferocious look on his face.
Luo Zheng did not give Ji Tiange any face in Huang Yue City. After the people of Ji Family found out about this matter, they were extremely angry.
When Ji Si heard that Luo Zheng wanted to be conferred the title of Marquis, besides feeling incredulous, he immediately thought that the Yellow Heavenly King wanted to support Luo Zheng against Ji Tiange.
This was the attitude of the Yellow Heavenly King.
