From afar, the Nine Heavens Lingxiao Hall looked like a majestic mountain that rose and fell in the clouds. Half of it was made of jade, and the other half was made of crystal.
As he flew closer, it was as if he had barged into a Minor Chiliocosm that was filled with treasures. Dozens of magnificent white jade dragon pillars appeared in front of him. When he looked up, he saw the scene of a divine phoenix soaring into the sky. The reliefs and murals were all lifelike.
The Emperor of the Three Realms sat on the high platform. The Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals were lined up in two rows. The clouds would occasionally disperse, and one could see that there seemed to be an entire mortal world under the transparent ground of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall …
"Summon Perfected Lord Erlang!"
An immortal official shouted loudly. Yang Jian, who was dressed in a long robe, walked forward. Venus Taibai led the way from the side, as if she was afraid that Yang Jian would lose his way in the extremely spacious hall.
The immortals sent voice transmissions and discussed. Many officials were hiding, as if they were afraid that Yang Jian would suddenly flare up.
Yang Jian looked straight ahead and walked to the front of the platform. He bowed to the man sitting on the platform and said, "I, Yang Jian, greet Your Majesty, Jade Emperor."
"Heh." The Jade Emperor only chuckled. He sat behind the jade table and looked down at Yang Jian, who was below the stage. He did not say anything.
Yang Jian only stood there with his head lowered. The Jade Emperor did not say anything and maintained that posture.
"You may dispense with the formalities." The Jade Emperor's voice was a little lazy. He threw the jade token in his hand onto the jade table in front of him. "Why did you return to the Celestial Court midway if you're not in the mortal world to become a god?"
Yang Jian straightened his back and looked up at Yang Jian. His gaze was calm, but there seemed to be a hint of threat under the calmness.
That was enough. He had already shown his stance. If the Jade Emperor still made things difficult for him, he would really have to fight back.
Although he did not have many chips in his hands, it was very easy to threaten the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I've encountered some trouble. I've come to the Celestial Court to ask for reinforcements."
The Jade Emperor put his hands on the desk, and his eyes were a little playful. "What trouble? According to what I know, the four Saints have just broken the Immortal Vanquishing Sword Array. Everything should be smooth sailing for you. Why are you in trouble? "
Yang Jian said, "I'm ashamed to say it. Jie School has an immortal named Lu Yue. He's good at using poisons and plagues. Previously, this immortal repeatedly attacked Xi Qi and wanted to slaughter countless people in the Zhou Nation. I tried my best to fight with him. In the end, although I killed his immortal body, his primordial spirit escaped. "
"As a result, he continued to wreak havoc after recovering some of his vitality. Today, he was even more heartless, slaughtering four cities with poison and killing millions of mortals! In those four empty cities, there are still countless vengeful spirits wandering around. This hatred is really hard to appease. "
These words were powerful and impassioned, causing the Jade Emperor to stop smiling. Many immortals were also filled with indignation.
Yang Jian continued, "This fiend is really crafty. Last time I exhausted all my effort to ambush him, but in the end I lost several of my good generals and three Shidi were seriously injured. If I want to capture him again this time, it will not be a day's work. "
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and sighed. "I've heard of Lu Yue. He's a peerless Poison Immortal. Did you come to the Celestial Court to seek help to find a general who can restrain this God of Plagues? "
"That's not the case." Yang Jian shook his head and said calmly, "I should destroy Lu Yue's essence soul. Moreover, it's not appropriate to let the immortal generals of the Celestial Court enter the God-Conferment Tribulation."
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, please lend me 300,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to set up defenses and hide everywhere in the Zhou Nation. Be wary of Lu Yue poisoning the Zhou Army and disturbing their morale."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly when he heard that. "I'll work with you 500,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao sensed it. Streams of light flickered and condensed a blood-red tiger talisman in front of Yang Jian.
"The soldiers of the Celestial Court are at your disposal. This tiger talisman is yours. If you are disloyal to the Celestial Court in the future, this tiger talisman will dissipate."
Yang Jian's expression changed.
Uncle Jade Emperor is so generous that he gave me the authority to command 500,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals?
Although the Jade Emperor's family was huge and the 500,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were just a drop in the ocean compared to the true forces in the Jade Emperor's hands. They were not worth mentioning. However, his method of bribing people was really impressive.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Jian took the tiger talisman and bowed to the Jade Emperor.
An old immortal official at the side said, "Perfected Lord, I should kneel and bow to you."
Yang Jian frowned. Venus Taibai hurriedly said, "Perfected Lord, you rarely walk around the Celestial Court. You are also working hard for the God-Conferment matter. It's understandable that these rules are not applicable for the time being."
"Alright, he doesn't have to kneel."
The Jade Emperor said calmly. Yang Jian looked up at the gentle-looking ruler of the Three Realms and cupped his fists to thank him.
Although the words "he doesn't have to kneel" were casual, they gave Yang Jian the privilege of not kneeling in front of the Jade Emperor. The immortals understood something.
The Jade Emperor was declaring Yang Jian's special status.
After all, he was his nephew. The Jade Emperor's orders when Yang Jian saved his mother were rather strange. Now that he thought about it, he was probably training Yang Jian.
Now, Yang Jian's mystic arts had shocked the Three Realms. At such a young age, he was already standing beside the ancient cultivators who did not die and dared to compete with the top mighty figures in the world.
Furthermore, he had the "favor" of the Jade Emperor and the "support" of the Dao Sect. His master was a carefree immortal who could fight with Saint Zhun Ti for hundreds of rounds …
That was the rhythm of the Celestial Court's Marshals and even the second-in-command of the Celestial Court!
Yang Jian cupped his hands and left. "There are still battles in the South Continent. When I return, I will go and settle the troops."
The Jade Emperor said, "Perfected Lord Erlang Xiansheng has worked hard for the Celestial Court's God-Conferment. You have worked hard and contributed greatly. After the God-Conferment, you will be rewarded greatly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Jian swallowed the words "but there's no need".
At that moment, it was better for the ruler and his subjects to be harmonious. Otherwise, if he were to embarrass the Jade Emperor, what if his uncle went back on his word and did not lend him troops?
Since she was asking for help, she had to wear a smile on her face.
After leaving the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Yang Jian felt a little empty. He felt that he had changed a lot compared to when he first came to the Primordial World.
He had lost some edges, but he was stronger. He could also withstand the thorns on the road ahead …
Venus Taibai smiled and said, "Perfected Lord, shall we go to the Hall of Enlightenment to gather the troops?"
"Yes, let's go." Yang Jian played with the tiger talisman in his hand and pondered for a while. He asked, "Does this tiger talisman have any other meaning?"
Venus Taibai was stumped.
The old man thought for a while and smiled. "Naturally, His Majesty is expressing his concern for the Perfected Lord. After all, His Majesty and the Perfected Lord are related by blood. Moreover, the Perfected Lord is now famous and admired by the Three Realms. His Majesty also wants to put the Perfected Lord in an important position. That's why he gave you this tiger talisman."
Yang Jian nodded noncommittally and sighed softly.
"Let's talk about this later."
Taibai Jinxing revealed a slight smile that was filled with deep meaning.
Half a day later, the drums of the Celestial Court sounded. Batches of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals left the South-Heaven Gate and rode a cloud towards the South Continent.
Their mobility was something that normal soldiers couldn't compare to.
According to Yang Jian, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were divided into hundreds of groups and scattered throughout the Zhou Nation. Every Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General secretly formed an array formation. Even if a peak expert of Daira attacked, they could rely on the array formation to last for a while and wait for Yang Jian to rescue them.
After making the arrangements, Yang Jian finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At the South-Heaven Gate, Yang Jian led a group of fairies and Heavenly Generals who had sent them off from afar and arrived majestically.
"Senior, thank you this time."
Yang Jian cupped his hands and thanked Venus Taibai. Venus Taibai raised his horsetail whisk and cupped his hands in return.
"Perfected Lord, you don't have to be so polite. We are both ministers. I need you to take care of me."
Yang Jian sighed softly. It was as if the cries of countless vengeful spirits were still echoing in his ears …
"I'll go search for Lu Yue."
"Take care, Perfected Lord."
"Goodbye."
Yang Jian rode a cloud back to the South Continent. Along the way, he saw clouds floating in the sky of the South Continent. On them were Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals arranged neatly. He was touched.
That was the benefit of power.
With a thought, the Jade Emperor could make the mortals of the South Continent live or die. The entire Three Thousand Great Worlds would be in turmoil …
The might of a Saint was actually only so-so.
When Yang Jian returned to Boundary Tablet Pass, he happened to see the Zhou Army setting off. He had been busy for a long time, and the Zhou Army had just arrived.
As soon as he appeared, Huang Long and Chi Jingzi rushed over at the same time and asked, "How's it going?"
"It's done. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals have been deployed everywhere. We're not afraid of his invasion." Yang Jian sighed softly. He looked at the two Uncle-Masters in front of him and the more than ten Immortals of Chanism who had rushed over one after another. He said in a low voice, "Uncle-Masters, please protect the army for half a day. I'll go and send the vengeful souls in the dead cities into the Netherworld."
"This is boundless merit. Hurry up and go," the Huanglong Daoist urged.
Bai Ze, who had been living in a drunken stupor in the city tower, immediately ran out with a merciful old face. "Let me help you with this."
"That's good." Yang Jian nodded calmly.
Where's Lü Chunyang? Brother Chunyang, go and accumulate some merit. That way, when you carry your master into the bridal chamber in the future, you'll be less virtuous.
Just as Yang Jian was about to speak, Bai Ze winked at Yang Jian and transmitted his voice into his ear.
"Uncle-Masters, please let the disciples take good care of these millions of elites." Yang Jian requested again. Huang Long and Chi Jingzi also solemnly agreed.
Soon, the Immortals of Chanism who stayed here followed the army. Huang Long and Chi Jingzi stayed in the sky to hold the line.
They even made some West Wind for the army to save some energy during the journey.
Yang Jian and Bai Ze flew to several dead cities. They still had many things to do. They didn't know if they could finish them today.
After all, those were millions of vengeful souls …
…
"Heavenly Soldiers?"
In Qing Long Pass, a fat rich merchant who was quietly drinking tea in a teahouse murmured. A happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the sky above Qing Long Pass, a few clouds stopped there, ignoring the white clouds that floated past.
Above the white clouds, two thousand Heavenly Soldiers stood in formation and waited quietly. Several Heavenly Generals with high cultivation were chatting and laughing at the side. They were talking about how mighty Immortal Erlang was and laughing at how their actions seemed meaningless.
They were only guarding here to guard against Lu Yue, who only had a Primordial Spirit left?
In the teahouse, the rich merchant threw down two strings of money and walked out of the teahouse leisurely with his hands clasped behind his back. He had a gentle smile on his face as if he was taking a casual stroll. He brushed past a row of patrolling soldiers.
Immortal Erlang?
