"They sent out all the celestial soldiers? There's no one left?"
The Jade Emperor was stunned. His face was filled with disbelief as he exclaimed.
Why didn't he feel anything? They'd only sent out tens of thousands of celestial soldiers. Why were they all gone?
The Heavenly Court had almost a million celestial soldiers. Why were they gone so quickly?
"A day in the sky is a year on earth."
The Canopy Marshal sighed inwardly at the hesitant Jade Emperor.
Time had indeed passed in the Heavenly Realm, but a day and a night had passed in the mortal world.
The dozen figures on Peach Mountain were all Powerful Cultivators with boundless Dharma power.
With a sweep of the celestial light, at least hundreds of celestial soldiers and generals were swept down. A few of them even attacked and thousands of celestial soldiers fell like dumplings. From afar, it looked like it was raining people. Thousands of celestial soldiers fell from the sky every second.
A million celestial soldiers in the Heavenly Court sounded like a lot, but the battle in the mortal world had already lasted for a day and a night. Mountains and rivers had collapsed. No matter how many celestial soldiers there were, they would still suffer.
All the mountains within tens of thousands of miles of Peach Mountain had collapsed. In their place were mountains of celestial soldiers that reached into the clouds.
"In other words, other than the fifty thousand celestial soldiers attacking Tushita Palace, there are less than a hundred thousand celestial soldiers left in the mortal world?"
The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy. He hurriedly looked down, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes as he spoke with a trembling voice.
After fighting for so long, they hadn't suppressed a single rebel. Instead, the Heavenly Court's million soldiers had been killed. Less than a fifth of the celestial soldiers remained.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Canopy Marshal's eyes were filled with astonishment. The powerful beings below seemed to have an endless amount of energy and were undefeatable. They didn't show any signs of tiredness even when fighting against a million celestial soldiers.
If they kept fighting, they might not even be able to suppress one person even if all the celestial soldiers were killed.
The Canopy Marshal glanced at the remaining celestial soldiers. They were all trembling from the beating of Zhou Yang's group. Their spirits were on the verge of collapse. Their hands trembled violently and their faces were pale.
They were completely terrified of Zhou Yang's group.
Since ancient times, the Heavenly Courts had always been high and mighty. Even when the fiendish demons rebelled against the Heavenly Courts, the fiendish demons were either killed on the spot or imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison when the Heavenly Courts army arrived.
When had they ever been beaten to such a state where they even lost the courage to fight?
If it weren't for the dozen fiendgod-like figures below, which would shoot out an immortal light to "kill" the fleeing Heavenly Soldiers the moment they saw them fleeing, they would have long scattered.
The remaining Heavenly Soldiers were still persevering in the battle, just to save their lives.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers and generals are waiting for you to boost their morale."
Seeing the motionless Jade Emperor, the Canopy Marshal reminded him.
The words that the Jade Emperor had personally arrived on the battlefield had already been shouted. If the Jade Emperor did not appear, the last bit of morale of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals would probably collapse.
"Retreat, we'll fight another day."
The Jade Emperor looked at the lively Zhou Yang and the rest. He turned around and left, quickly running towards the Lingxiao King Hall.
How was it possible for him to personally go into battle?
"Retreat!"
Hearing the Jade Emperor's order, the Canopy Marshal let out a sigh of relief. If they continued fighting, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Court might really be wiped out.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Court was covered in formations, which could make the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals even more powerful.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
With the Canopy Marshal's order, the last bit of resistance in the Heavenly Soldiers' hearts collapsed. Like a raging flood, they ran towards the Heavenly Court unstoppably.
Looking at the scattered Heavenly Soldiers, Chairman Yu and the others revealed a hint of anxiety. They still had close to a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to kill.
At that moment, immeasurable celestial light burst out from every single one of them. They waved their celestial qi and rushed towards the scattered celestial soldiers.
"The Heavenly Court lost?"
Although the battle on Peach Mountain was earth-shattering and terrifying, there were still some fearless demons watching from the surroundings.
Their eyes flickered with astonishment when they saw groups of Heavenly Soldiers charging at the South-Heaven Gate like wolves.
The Heavenly Court, which had ruled the Three Realms for more than ten thousand years, was beaten so badly.
A million Heavenly Soldiers were sent out, but they still returned in defeat.
On the other hand, the enemy didn't even lose a single person. This huge difference was beyond everyone's expectations.
In the ten thousand years of Heavenly Court's rule, countless major factions in the Three Realms were destroyed by the Heavenly Court's army. Now that a million Heavenly Soldiers were defeated, it was unbelievable.
When Heavenly Soldiers attacked other factions, at most a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were enough to trample over any faction.
However, a million Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals besieged a dozen people and didn't even injure them at all. Moreover, they lost hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers.
In an instant, Zhou Yang's group became famous in the Three Realms.
In the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches.
"Your Majesty, how do we deal with Yaoji?"
The Queen Mother looked at the panting Jade Emperor who had escaped from the Southern Heaven's Gate and asked in confusion.
Yaoji, who had offended the Heavenly Court, was rescued by a group of rebels.
This was a provocation to the dignity of the Heavenly Court. Especially the defeat of the million Heavenly soldiers, the dignity of the Heavenly Court was seriously challenged.
If they couldn't quickly restore the authority of the Heavenly Court, there might be endless demons in the Three Realms who would imitate the rebels in the Lower Realm.
"Your Majesty, why don't we recruit them?"
Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and said carefully.
Zhou Yang's group was too powerful. Taibai Jinxing felt that the Heavenly Court had no hope of winning.
Moreover, Old Lord Taishang of the Heavenly Court might be the mastermind.
As the oldest deity of the Heavenly Court, no one knew how powerful he was.
If Old Lord Taishang personally took action, no one knew what the outcome would be.
If he recruited all the powerful people in the Lower Realm and gave them God Positions, the world would be at peace.
"Those people are all rebels. I will not recruit them no matter what."
Jade Emperor was furious when he heard that Taibai Jinxing wanted him to recruit Zhou Yang's group.
"Your Majesty, those people's strength is unfathomable. The Heavenly Court will definitely suffer heavy casualties when suppressing those rebels."
Taibai Jinxing didn't stay silent because of the Jade Emperor's rage. Instead, he continued to persuade.
His tone was very tactful. What heavy casualties? 800,000 of the million Heavenly Soldiers had already died and none of them were suppressed.
Taibai Jinxing was telling the Jade Emperor in a roundabout way that they couldn't defeat them. What else could they do but recruit them?
"The authority of the Heavenly Court cannot be challenged."
The Jade Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne and said with a cold expression.
He was the ruler of the Three Realms. How could he recruit those rebels?
"Jade Emperor, there are two fox demons in the Lower Realm. They said they have something to report?"
At this moment, a Heavenly Soldier wearing silver armor quickly walked into the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches and reported.
"Two fox demons actually dared to barge into the Heavenly Court. Someone, send them to hell and make them unable to reincarnate."
The Jade Emperor frowned and said coldly.
Since when did the supreme Heavenly Court allow demons from the Lower Realm to barge in? This was a challenge to his supreme authority.
"Your Majesty, they said they know something important about the rebels below."
The Heavenly Soldier hesitated and said.
He had also participated in the war in the Lower Realm and luckily returned alive. Thus, he witnessed how terrifying Zhou Yang's group was.
Therefore, he knew that anything related to Zhou Yang's group was extraordinary. That was why he left the two fox demons behind.
"Let them in."
The Jade Emperor hesitated and said.
Other than the two clones of Old Lord Taishang, although he could sense the identities of the other figures from their auras, he did not know who they were.
"Little Fox greets Your Majesty."
The Fifth Fox Demon pulled the reluctant little fox sister into the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches and bowed to the Jade Emperor.
His dream was to become an immortal and not a demon that was despised by everyone.
"What do you have to report?"
The Jade Emperor said impatiently.
As the ruler of the Three Realms, he hated demons that did not obey orders.
However, he was curious and suspicious about the identity of Zhou Yang's group. Therefore, he did not chase away the Fifth Fox Demon and little fox sister.
"Your Majesty, Little Fox risked her life to report to you. I just want to be an immortal in the Heavenly Court."
The Fifth Fox Demon said respectfully. He was asking for benefits from the Jade Emperor.
"If your information is really useful, I will confer you as immortals."
A cold light flashed across the Jade Emperor's eyes. A mere Fox Demon actually dared to bargain with him. He must be tired of living.
However, in order to obtain information about Zhou Yang's group, he still agreed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Fifth Fox Demon hurriedly pulled his little fox sister and thanked the Jade Emperor.
With the Deity Position of the Heavenly Court, he was no longer a wandering Fox Demon.
"Your Majesty, those Demon Gods of the Lower Realm are planning to attack the Heavenly Court. It's really disgraceful."
In order to please the Jade Emperor and obtain a better Deity Position, the Fifth Brother said with a face of disdain.
Although the Demon Gods below had unparalleled divine might, in the Fifth Brother's heart, the Heavenly Court was still the rightful ruler of the Three Realms.
"Cough cough cough … Taibai Jinxing, about the enlistment you mentioned just now, do you have any specific procedures?"
When the Jade Emperor heard the Fifth Brother's words, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He coughed lightly to hide the awkwardness in his heart and said.
He thought that Zhou Yang and his group were only here to save Yaoji. As for when they would rebel, he felt that it might still take a period of time.
Now that he heard that Zhou Yang and his group might appear in the Heavenly Court in the next second, how could the Jade Emperor still sit still?
Taibai Jinxing, "…"
The Fifth Brother Fox demon was speechless.
Didn't you say previously that you wouldn't let those traitors off no matter what?
Why did you change your mind so quickly after hearing that those traitors were going to attack the Heavenly Court?
Previously, you swore so confidently and resolutely. Where's the supreme dignity of the Heavenly Court?
Isn't the Jade Emperor the supreme being of the Three Realms?
His words are priceless and carry enormous weight. Why did he cower the moment he sensed danger?
Where's your aura that could swallow mountains and rivers and sweep through the world?
Where's your domineering aura that ruled over the Three Realms?
