The journey from the Celestial Court to the Hailing Kingdom took more than two months.
When the immortals were having a meeting in the Cloudy Palace, the envoys who were sent to the Hailing Kingdom entered the palace to report. Even though their armors were bright and their cultivation had returned to normal, they still couldn't hide their disheveled appearances.
Everyone cared about their dignity. Originally, the few Masters of the Celestial Court and the twelve Heavenly Generals had agreed not to talk about what happened to them in the Hailing Kingdom. However, when they saw the Sovereign of the Three Realms sitting on the throne, two of the Heavenly Generals immediately had tears in their eyes.
"Your Majesty! That Yang Jian is simply, simply going too far! "
"Yang Jian made those demons and ghosts do this to us! It's a great humiliation! I don't want to live anymore! "
One of them stood out to accuse Yang Jian. Perhaps it was to defame him, but one after another, the dozen Masters and Heavenly Generals who went to the Hailing Kingdom to announce the decree all said how arrogant Yang Jian was and how he trampled on the authority of the Celestial Court. It was irrefutable.
However, the immortals and deities weren't surprised by it. Apart from a few of them standing out to denounce Yang Jian, who else could do anything to the Perfected Lord of Purity and Magic who was far away in the universe?
Only a few immortals were thinking at the moment.
Wasn't the Jade Emperor too rash with his scheme this time?
Did he want to swallow the Hailing Kingdom with the Skyward Pavilion's methods? Anyone would think that it was a little unreliable.
However, the Jade Emperor knew that it would only infuriate Yang Jian, but he was still stubborn …
Perhaps, facing an existence like Yang Jian, who had extraordinary strength and influence and was completely beyond the control of the Celestial Court, the Jade Emperor also lost his mind.
"Your Majesty." The Master of the Celestial Court named Ge Litian knelt on the ground. "Yang Jian trampled on the dignity of the Celestial Court wantonly because he thought that his mystical abilities were profound. If there really is a great calamity in the future, how can he be of great use!?"
The Heavenly Courts' consecrators, who were also kneeling behind Ge Litian, also said, "Yang Jian is arrogant. It's not a day. If we let him run amok, the Primordial World will be in danger and the Heavenly Courts will be in danger!"
On the throne, the Jade Emperor seemed to be a little disinterested.
No matter how the immortals scolded Yang Jian for his heinous crimes, how could the Heavenly Courts punish Yang Jian for his crimes?
If they wanted to punish him, they had to have a way to suppress Yang Jian. To the current Heavenly Court, it was just a joke.
Therefore, most of the immortals did not stand out and only watched quietly from the sidelines.
Almost everyone had expected that even if the Jade Emperor was furious, he would not show it. Instead, he would smile generously …
As expected.
The Jade Emperor smiled and sighed. He comforted them calmly, "Dear ministers, you have been working hard to convey the decree of the Celestial Court. I am very comforted. Men, bestow immortal wine and celestial horses to our beloved subjects. "
"Your Majesty!" Ge Litian raised his head and shouted.
"Alright." The Jade Emperor frowned. The Ge priest sighed softly and lowered his head in silence.
The immortals in the hall treated it as a joke.
Venus Taibai asked, "Does Yang Jian accept the decree?"
"I did accept it, but he …"
"That's good." Venus Taibai nodded slightly and did not say anything else. He stood at the front of the officials and lowered his head. He did not reveal anything else.
The Jade Emperor said, "If there's nothing else, let's end it here today."
The Jade Emperor was about to stand up. Ge Litian seemed to be unwilling. He raised his head and shouted, "Your Majesty!"
The Jade Emperor frowned slightly. He sat on the throne and looked at Ge Litian below with an unfriendly expression.
"Everyone, leave. Ge, stay."
The immortals were afraid of getting into trouble, so they bowed and excused themselves. All the immortals in the hall quickly left, except for Taibai Jinxing, who stood at the entrance of the hall and turned his head to take a look.
Coincidentally, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and ordered the fairies and Heavenly Soldiers who were serving in the hall to leave.
A Dao rune slowly circulated. The unique immortal array of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was being activated …
Venus Taibai had seen such a situation many times. Every time that happened, the Jade Emperor would lock himself in a place that others could not reach to vent the hatred and anger in his heart.
Clearly, the anger in the Jade Emperor's heart had accumulated to a certain extent today. He wanted to vent it.
In fact, to the elders of the Celestial Court, such a situation was not surprising.
It was actually not easy to be the supreme ruler of the Three Realms …
"Take care, Lord Taibai. Take care, Lord Taibai." Venus Taibai, who was about to leave on a cloud, turned her head and saw a handsome and awe-inspiring Heavenly General.
"So it's Marshal Tian Peng," Venus Taibai replied with a smile.
"Where are you going, Lord Taibai?"
"Of course, I have to return to the immortal abode. I have nothing to do recently and am tired. I don't want to walk around the Celestial Court."
Tian Peng smiled and said, "Oh? We happen to be going the same way. Why don't we go together? "
"I didn't ask the Marshal to go to my residence for a drink."
Tian Peng casually took out a pot of immortal wine from the token on his waist. "I'm going to look for you to taste the wine. Are you sure you don't want to try the wine from the Heart of the Heavenly River?"
"You sly fellow. Let's go."
After a few laughs, Venus Taibai and Tian Peng rode a cloud and flew towards Venus Taibai's residence.
The two of them seemed to be chatting casually, but in fact, they were sending voice transmissions to talk about what had happened in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall today. Tian Peng had been promoted by Venus Taibai, so the two of them did not have to avoid anything.
"Old man, I feel that there is something strange about this matter." Canopy Canopy's words carried some doubt. "Although His Majesty lost his composure in the matter of Erlang True Lord, this seems to be reasonable. However, the feeling that His Majesty gives me … seems to be deliberately provoking the Perfected Lord? "
Venus Taibai sneered and scolded, "Go back and lead your water army. Stop messing around here. Why are you so strange in your pig brain?"
"No, I met Perfected Lord Erlang a few times back then. We can't watch him really offend His Majesty." Tian Peng smacked his lips. "Anyway, I feel that if the Celestial Court can be stable, my comfortable life can continue to be comfortable. I hope there won't be any disaster."
"Don't worry. It won't happen."
Venus Taibai flicked his horsetail whisk. "The Saints in the world are watching the Celestial Court. Yang Jian is much smarter than you. How can he fall out with His Majesty? I'm afraid that His Majesty has other plans … "
"What plans?"
"Don't ask too much. Go and drink. I can't control the matters of the Celestial Court."
The voice transmission gradually stopped. The two important officials of the Celestial Court, one civil and one military, continued to chat. They entered the Star Lord's Residence together and did not even close the door. They drank, chatted, listened to music, and discussed the Dao. They were very carefree.
That was also a scene that could be seen everywhere in the Celestial Court. Immortals were in groups of three to five, and fairies were in groups of six to seven. There were immortal mountains and spiritual lakes everywhere, and auspicious beasts and immortal birds could be seen everywhere.
It was a peaceful and magnificent scene.
In the Lingxiao King Palace, the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, casually picked up a jade inkstone at the side and threw it to the side of the desk. Then, he raised his hand and casually swept across the table, sweeping the pile of dossiers and jade tablets to the other side.
This should have been a "vent" that he often did, but at that moment, the Jade Emperor's actions were gentle and very slow.
It was as if he was deliberately setting up a scene after the Heavenly Emperor was angry.
The Jade Emperor said calmly, "Minister Ge, the agreement between us has been reached. You have also seen Yang Jian. According to what we said previously, you should find a corner to be attacked and die. Why do you insist on staying?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. An agreement is an agreement. You and I agreed to take what we need. I did not break my promise."
Ge Litian, who was originally kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head. His face was still the same, but the light in his eyes and the aura around him had changed slightly. He seemed to have become a different person.
The old man slowly stood up and cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor. He smiled and said, "The reason why I took the risk to have a chat with the Jade Emperor is because I changed my mind at the last minute."
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor leaned against the cushion of the throne. "Do you want to go back on your word? Or are you determined to take my life? "
"How can that be? Even my master admires Your Majesty's character and courage. That's why we're talking today, "Ge Litian said calmly." When the Primordial World collapses, Your Majesty will only be annihilated by the calamity. It's a pity. "
The smile on the Jade Emperor's lips was a little strange. "Your master is a supreme expert. Don't you think it's a loss of face to use such a trick to buy people's hearts?"
"Master only cherishes talents. He did not scheme," Ge Litian said calmly. "To be honest, the two of us were originally small cultivators in the Grand Essence Realm. Fortunately, Master took pity on us and saved us from calamity. He also helped us become Saints. Your Majesty, aren't you tempted? "
"I still have a bottom line."
"Once the bottom line is pierced once, it actually no longer exists."
A fierce glint flashed across the Jade Emperor's eyes. "Let's make an agreement. I'll help you get close to Yang Jian and figure out his background. In return, you'll help me get rid of this man and relieve me of my worries. This is just taking what we need. You have to understand that I'm the ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor of the Primordial World! "
"Your Majesty, it's good to have a way out." Ge Litian smiled and shook his head. "I've seen too many people who swear to die rather than submit. The Grand Essence Realm is a hundred or a thousand times larger than the ancient Primordial World. Before the world collapsed, blood dyed the Endless Sea red, and vengeful souls filled the entire sky. But what's the use? "
The Jade Emperor slowly closed his eyes. "How do you want to deal with Yang Jian?"
A faint smile appeared on Ge Litian's lips, and he looked a little ethereal.
"When I saw Yang Jian earlier, I already knew his cultivation level. He's still far from the Saint realm. It's just that the Pangu Mystic Art is a little troublesome. I originally thought that he really had the strength to fight against a Saint of the Great Path, but now that I've seen him, he's just so-so.
"That's why I'm here today to meet you again, Your Majesty. After I leave the hall, I'm still Your Majesty's Ge Litian. I'll find a reason to die later so that I won't cause any trouble for Your Majesty.
"Your Majesty, please remember that the day my master leaves the Nether Stream of the North Sea will be the day the Primordial World is destroyed. Your Majesty, please decide for yourself what to do. That's all I have to say. Farewell. "
After that, Ge Litian cupped his hands and bowed to the Jade Emperor, then knelt down again.
The aura quietly disappeared. A hint of hesitation flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes, but in the end, he remained calm.
The array formation of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall slowly descended. The Jade Emperor remained leaning against the wall. The jade table was very messy. Clearly, it had experienced a violent storm.
"Your Majesty …" Ge Litian called out in a trembling voice.
"There's no need to mention this matter. Go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ge Litian sighed softly and slowly stood up. After turning around, he walked out of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with a gloomy face.
An hour after he left, the Jade Emperor sat there without moving. Anyone could see that the Jade Emperor was in a bad mood. The Immortals and Gods of the Celestial Court all believed that they knew why the Jade Emperor was in a bad mood.
Finally, the Jade Emperor stood up. He seemed to be a little annoyed by the jade table in front of him, so he kicked it to the ground.
