"Yang Jian is a traitor of the Celestial Court. Your Majesty, you really can't let him grow. The Black Spirit Kingdom is already a disaster. So many experts have gathered under Yang Jian, a traitor. Their intentions are unfathomable. "
"Enough. You've been talking for a long time, but you're only talking about how troublesome my nephew is. None of you can come up with a strategy to deal with him. What's the use of listening to your nonsense? "
The Jade Emperor said softly. The immortals who were trying to persuade Yang Jian to punish him immediately fell silent.
The old man who first said that he wanted to deal with Yang Jian stood up and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, although Yang Jian is powerful and can be defeated in the Primordial World, the Saint of the Great Path is from the Heavenly Dao. That Saint of the Great Path came from the Great Path, and Your Majesty controls the Great Path. This is Yang Jian's weakness.
Venus Taibai sneered. "Others might not know, but do you and I not? That Saint of the Great Path has a close relationship with Yang Jian. "
There was silence in the hall again. The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy. He was already on the verge of losing his temper.
A general said, "In the current situation, the Three Realms is the most important thing. No matter how many demons Yang Jian has gathered in the Chaos Sea, how can he disobey Your Majesty's decree?"
The white-robed old man added, "If we want to issue this decree, we have to think about it carefully. We can't directly force Yang Jian to submit. That will only backfire."
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor leaned against the throne and made himself sit more comfortably. "Tell me the details, Minister Ge."
The Jade Emperor's eyes flashed with smugness. When Venus Taibai saw this, he could only sigh secretly.
This plan was probably not thought of by others. It was the Jade Emperor's doing. He just used his officials to say it.
Previously, Venus Taibai and the Jade Emperor had done such tricks. He did not expect that unknowingly, he, the old minister, had also 'lost favor' and this' glory '.
At that moment, the Skyward Pavilion's High Priest with the surname Ge spoke.
"His Majesty's decree only needs to be justified. Why don't we just tell that to Yang Jian?"
"During the Great Tribulation of the Primordial World, the army of the Spirit Clan was the most important thing to protect the Primordial World. As the ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor was worried about the character of the Spirit Clan and the military discipline of the army of the Spirit Clan. Therefore, he sent a few people to supervise the army of the Spirit Clan."
The Jade Emperor frowned and said, "How can Yang Jian let the military governor enter the Black Spirit Nation so easily?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. We can first express our goodwill to Yang Jian and say that the Overseers will not command troops or offer advice. We will only monitor the movements of the Astral Race's army to dispel Your Majesty's doubts. Yang Jian should not refuse."
The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne.
"What's next?"
"As long as someone is planted in the Black Spirit Nation, the next thing will be the Skyward Pavilion's methods." The consecrator surnamed Ge smiled and said, "When the Skyward Pavilion was ordered by Your Majesty to conquer the Trichiliocosm, they had infiltrated and divided the other party's forces many times. We can use it as a reference. Although there are many experts in the Chaos Spirit Clan, most of them are stupid and brave. It will not be too difficult for them to use some tricks. "
The person continued, "Moreover, Your Majesty can do both at the same time. At the same time, you can give Perfected Lord Qingyuan a high position in the Celestial Court while nibbling away at the Black Spirit Nation's power step by step. Although Yang Jian has a huge influence in the Chaos Sea, his roots are in the Primordial World. In the Plum Mountain, the Chaos Sea is not even considered a barren land. How can he stay there for long? If he has the chance to return to the Celestial Court and obtain a glorious reputation, Yang Jian will definitely consider it. "
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"What do you think, Lord Taibai Jinxing?" The Jade Emperor asked calmly.
However, Venus Taibai knew very well that the Jade Emperor's tone was clearly a done deal.
Even so, the old courtesan still persuaded, "Your Majesty, you can't …"
The Jade Emperor was displeased. "Why not?"
"Ah, I'm slow-witted." Venus Taibai took half a step back and was at a loss for words. He did not want to say anything else.
However, Venus Taibai looked around at the Jade Emperor's trusted subordinates in the hall and looked up at the Jade Emperor's expressionless face. In the end, he lowered his head and cupped his hands. He persuaded, "Your Majesty, you really can't plot against Yang Jian now. Otherwise …"
"Lord Taibai Jinxing!" A Heavenly General said in a low voice, "Please be careful with your words and actions in front of His Majesty.
"When did I say that I wanted to plot against Perfected Lord Qingyuan?" The Jade Emperor chuckled, but the meaning in his smile made Venus Taibai's eyes darken.
The Jade Emperor continued, "Minister Li, tell me if what Consecrator Ge said just now is feasible."
Li Jing, who had been silent, pondered for a while and cupped his fists. "Your Majesty, I think …"
Seeing Venus Taibai look over, Li Jing lowered his head and said in a low voice, "We can give it a try."
"In that case, let Elder Ge arrange it."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and stopped Venus Taibai, who was about to speak. The Jade Emperor said, "I'm a little tired. Everyone, retreat."
"Okay."
The immortals bowed. The Jade Emperor set up his carriage and entered the depths of the clouds.
Soon, only Venus Taibai and Li Jing were left in the hall. The others left together. Clearly, there were many factions in the Celestial Court.
The Skyward Pavilion was clearly the most powerful. The God-Conferment lineage that Li Jing represented was not too bad. As for the elders of the Celestial Court that Venus Taibai represented, most of them had already withdrawn from their positions of power.
"Heavenly King Li, you're really muddle-headed."
Venus Taibai sighed and sent a voice transmission to Li Jing. Li Jing could only smile bitterly and make an inviting gesture. The scholar and the warrior were twenty feet apart and walked towards the door of the hall.
Li Jing sent a voice transmission. "Lord Taibai Jinxing, you should know better than anyone how afraid His Majesty is of Yang Jian and how eager he is to divide Yang Jian's Black Spirit Kingdom."
"I naturally know. Not only do I know, but I'm afraid no one understands the anger in His Majesty's heart better than me."
Venus Taibai let out a long sigh. "The Dao Ancestor suppressed His Majesty, who was born from the Heavenly Dao's luck, and secretly supported the Demon Emperor. His Majesty has a grudge in his heart."
"He endured humiliation and built the Skyward Pavilion under the Dao Ancestor's nose. What a magnificent feat! When the Dao Ancestor was killed by the Three Pure Ones and took the opportunity to plot against the God-Conferment Ceremony, the Jade Emperor would naturally become the true supreme ruler of the Three Realms. "
"However, when His Majesty's power was at its peak, Yang Jian trampled on the authority that the Jade Emperor had paid a lot and waited for countless years to obtain. He made all living beings in the Three Realms think that the Celestial Court can be bullied."
"Now, Yang Jian has started anew in the outer world. He has even raised the Chaos Spirits that can destroy the Three Realms and made the supreme ruler of the Three Realms a complete joke … How can the Jade Emperor not hate him? How can he tolerate him? "
Taibai Jinxing's complaints made Li Jing sigh continuously.
"However, the more that's the case, the more we can't attack Yang Jian." Venus Taibai looked at the sea of clouds outside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. "His Majesty probably hasn't woken up from his supreme dream. The Primordial World is no longer the same as before. Yang Jian is not someone the people from the Skyward Pavilion can provoke now. Heavenly King Li, why don't you and I persuade His Majesty again? "
Li Jing shook his head and sent a voice transmission. "What's the worst outcome if they plot against Yang Jian?"
"Yang Jian will definitely sweep through the Celestial Court alone. Although he will not kill everyone, he will definitely be at odds with the Jade Emperor."
Li Jing asked again, "Will Yang Jian force His Majesty to abdicate?"
"I don't think so." Venus Taibai frowned and pondered. "What do you mean, Heavenly King Li?"
Li Jing smiled and said calmly, "I'm just asking. I'm just listening to the Jade Emperor's orders. I'm responsible for mobilizing troops and protecting the Primordial World. As for who makes the decisions in the Celestial Court, it has nothing to do with me."
Venus Taibai swept his horsetail whisk and turned to look at Li Jing. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Heavenly King Li, do you know that those words are meant to kill!?!"
"I know your character, Lord Taibai. That's why I told you that." Li Jing turned to look at Venus Taibai.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them did not say anything. They looked at each other and even glared at each other.
Li Jing cupped his hands and sent a voice transmission. "Long ago, when the news of the Black Spirit Kingdom spread, I had already figured something out."
"What is it?"
"If a great enemy is in front of us, the Celestial Court and the Black Spirit Kingdom will join forces to fight against the enemy. It will be much better for the position of commander-in-chief of the Three Realms to fall into Yang Jian's hands than to fall into His Majesty's hands. At the very least, I will be willing to charge and not ask for any benefits. I will not scheme for any battle merits or reputation. "
Li Jing paused and cupped his hands. After bowing, he lowered his head and flew towards the sea of clouds in front of him.
However, his voice transmission still landed in Venus Taibai's ears.
"Lord Taibai, I hope you can make plans early for the changes in the world. My master once said that the Primordial World only has a slight chance of winning in front of those powerful enemies."
Li Jing's voice gradually turned faint. Venus Taibai seemed to be in a daze. Li Jing's figure had already disappeared into the boundless clouds.
Li Jing …
At the end of the day, the Zhou Generals of the God-Conferment Era were still standing behind their Prime Minister.
Venus Taibai flicked his horsetail whisk and turned to look at the magnificent but empty hall. His eyes were filled with turbidity.
I will kill you without any mistakes. I will listen to your flattery … Is His Majesty still the same person from back then?
Shaking his horsetail whisk, Taibai Jinxing hid his hands in his sleeves. His face returned to its usual amiable appearance as he walked toward his palace in a swaying manner, just like how he usually did.
Few people knew that the huge star that shone in the darkness before dawn in the east was where the Taibai Deity Position was.
…
Half a month later, in the capital of the Black Spirit Kingdom.
Yang Jian, who had already adjusted his mentality from the matter in Xuandu and had returned to seclusion, was disturbed by Xiao Lan's cultivation again.
Yang Jian followed the principle of being fair and just in managing a family. After catching Xiao Lan, he put aside the important matters and first deepened his understanding with his second wife. He didn't want to be apart for too long and cause the originally strong feelings between them to thin out.
Unexpectedly, he realized that the distracting thoughts that he often accumulated when he cultivated two techniques at the same time could always dissipate in bed.
There was a way to balance Yin and Yang.
Under the hibiscus tent, Yang Jian hugged the marvelous body and asked, "You suddenly came to look for me today. Is there a problem with the repair technique?"
Xiao Lan, who was a little tired, had no choice but to perk up. She lay in his arms and told him the news that she had received today in detail.
"There's news from the Celestial Court. The Jade Emperor will send a military governor to the Black Spirit Kingdom in a few days. He seems to have designs on the Black Spirit Kingdom."
Yang Jian, on the other hand, didn't look surprised at all. He grinned and said, "So it's about that. Let them come then."
Xiao Lan blinked. She looked up and saw Yang Jian's slightly dazed look. She stuck out the tip of her tongue gently. "Aren't you angry, husband?"
"The Jade Emperor wants to unite the two armies and unify the command. It's useless for me to be angry." Yang Jian sneered. A hint of playfulness flashed across his eyes. "I can figure out what they're planning even with their toes."
"Then, how are you going to deal with it, husband?" There was some eagerness in Xiao Lan's eyes. It was obvious that she had thought of a countermeasure for Yang Jian. Unfortunately, Yang Jian did not notice her gaze.
Yang Jian's current focus was obviously on other matters.
"I'll go with the flow." Yang Jian's hands were a little dishonest again. "The Jade Emperor wants to form a united front. This is also what I want to do. However, it's not up to him to decide who will be the commander in the end."
"Husband, let me rest again …" Xiao Lan pursed her lips, and a soft moan came from the tip of her nose.
"Your Sister Xinke will not say the word 'rest'."
"Let's do it again!"
Yang Jian, "…"
