Treasured Lotus Lamp world, Heavenly Court.
"What did you say? I will never agree to those conditions. "
Within the Cloudy Palace of Golden Arches, Jade Emperor originally thought he would hear the news of Taibai Jinxing's successful recruitment, but who knew he would bring back three conditions that he couldn't accept.
He couldn't help but roar. Even if he recruited Zhou Yang's group, he would still find a chance to get rid of them.
Hearing Director Yu's conditions, Jade Emperor was enraged. This was stealing his power and he had to hand over his power.
He had to hand over his power with his own hands. This was a great humiliation, and he would never compromise.
"Canopy Marshal, arrange an ambush in the Heavenly Court. I want the traitors below to never return."
Jade Emperor said with a cold gaze.
Now that he knew that Zhou Yang's group was going to attack the Heavenly Court, he might as well go with the flow and arrange an ambush in the Heavenly Court to kill Zhou Yang's group.
"Your Majesty …"
The Canopy Marshal had a troubled expression as he hesitated to speak.
"Is there a problem, Canopy Marshal?"
The Jade Emperor looked coldly at the Canopy Marshal. The conditions that Zhou Yang's group brought up didn't have much of an effect on the gods of the Heavenly Court. It was more of a weakening of his authority.
Seeing Canopy Marshal's troubled expression, Jade Emperor thought that Canopy Marshal wanted to threaten him and make him agree to the conditions.
After all, he might die if he fought with Zhou Yang's group.
If he accepted the conditions, Canopy Marshal's power wouldn't be reduced and he wouldn't have to worry about his life.
"Your Majesty, only five thousand of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers returned."
Canopy Marshal saw Jade Emperor's cold gaze and hurriedly explained.
He didn't have any thoughts of betraying the Heavenly Court.
"How can we ambush five thousand soldiers?"
Canopy Marshal said helplessly.
If the Heavenly Court wanted to set up a formation to suppress powerful beings, they needed tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers. Now, there were only five thousand heavenly soldiers, and they were all crippled.
There was no need for Zhou Yang's group to do anything. They just needed to show their faces and the formation might collapse.
"Aren't there still 100,000 celestial soldiers?"
The Jade Emperor stood up abruptly. When the Lower Realm retreated, there were still 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers. Why were there only 5,000 soldiers left now?
How could the five thousand soldiers fight against Zhou Yang and his men?
"When His Majesty retreated, the entire army was in a state of panic. Many Heavenly Soldiers were shot down by the rebels below."
The Canopy Marshal muttered to himself while cursing in his heart. You don't dare to personally fight against those powerful beings, so the entire army can only retreat.
A defeated army was like a landslide, not to mention a group of defeated soldiers who had been killed to the point of being terror-stricken. Many of the Celestial Soldiers fell to the mortal world because their own people bumped into their own people.
However, for the sake of the Jade Emperor's reputation, he did not say it out loud.
"Canopy Marshal, what strategy do you have?"
The Jade Emperor glanced at the immortals in the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches, and his gaze landed on the Canopy Marshal in the end. This was because everyone else acted as if this had nothing to do with them. Even if he asked, these immortals would pretend not to know.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Court actually still has 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers."
The Canopy Marshal said carefully.
From his perspective, 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers surrounding Dou Shuai Palace wouldn't be able to stop Old Lord Taishang. If Old Lord Taishang wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop him.
Rather than that, he might as well move all 50,000 Heavenly Soldiers to ambush Zhou Yang's group near the Jade Lake.
Although he wasn't confident that he could suppress Zhou Yang's group, he was still confident that he could stop Zhou Yang's group from entering the Jade Lake.
"Your Majesty, this plan is feasible."
Queen Mother of the West agreed.
"Your Majesty, Heavenly Soldiers have returned."
At this moment, a Heavenly Soldier quickly ran into the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches and reported.
"Can't you guys handle this well?"
The Jade Emperor said furiously.
The Heavenly Court wasn't dead yet!
Why did they need to ask him about such a small matter? Had these people lost their ability to think from fear?
"Your Majesty, the densely packed Heavenly Soldiers have retreated. There are at least tens of thousands of them."
The Heavenly Soldier hurriedly explained after sensing the Jade Emperor's anger.
"Tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers?"
Hearing that, the Jade Emperor paused for a moment before a trace of joy appeared on his face. These Heavenly Soldiers had really come at the right time.
"Canopy Marshal, immediately gather the Heavenly Soldiers and set up a formation. Kill all the enemies outside the Jade Lake."
The Jade Emperor ordered.
Before the Heavenly Court recovered, he didn't plan on suppressing Zhou Yang's group.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing that, the Canopy Marshal walked out.
But not long after, the Canopy Marshal quickly walked back.
"What's going on?"
The Jade Emperor sat in the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches and asked anxiously.
Could it be that Zhou Yang's group had already attacked?
"His Majesty has gathered a total of more than a hundred thousand routed soldiers, and the number of routed soldiers is still increasing. However, the armor and weapons of those routed soldiers have all been stolen by the rebels below."
The Canopy Marshal said with a strange expression.
Just what were those powerful beings below trying to do? Not only did they not kill the Heavenly Soldiers, they even took their weapons and armor. This was too strange.
"Alright, this is the token to open the treasury. Feel free to take whatever you need."
The Jade Emperor was not in the mood to investigate why Zhou Yang and the others did not kill the Heavenly Soldiers. It was fine if he was soft-hearted or pretended to be aloof. He only knew that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals had returned and the Heavenly Courts' strength had increased greatly.
He could even set up the Inescapable Net Formation that required 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to set up. It was enough to suppress any enemy.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Although Canopy Marshal knew that there was definitely some sort of conspiracy going on, he couldn't find anything. He took the token that the Jade Emperor had given him and walked towards the treasury.
When Marshal Tian Peng returned to the Southern Heavenly Gate, he found that he had gathered close to a million soldiers, which was only a few thousand away from the Heavenly Court's original strength.
Bang, bang, bang!
Another ten rays of golden light rushed up to the Celestial Heavens, and with a bang, they directly fell down.
"Golden Crow Prince, what happened to you guys?"
The Canopy Marshal, who had originally thought that it was Zhou Yang's group, looked at the falling figures in shock and hurriedly walked over.
What was up with the ten Golden Crows? Why were all of their faces pale and their auras weak?
"Quick, help us to see father."
The ten Golden Crows ignored the Canopy Marshal and called over a few Heavenly Soldiers to help them fly towards the Heavenly Court.
Could they tell the Canopy Marshal that they were being bled like chickens by those demons in the lower realm?
The ten Golden Crows shuddered at the thought of being carried upside down and bled out bit by bit. A hint of fear flashed through their eyes.
"It's good that you're back."
The Jade Emperor had a smile on his face when he saw the ten Golden Crows return.
With the ten Golden Crows back, they could form the Golden Crow Formation to fight against Zhou Yang's group. His chances of winning had increased even more.
"Father, those traitors have all been released. The Heavenly Court's strength hasn't suffered any losses. Last time, the Golden Crow Formation wasn't perfected and was taken advantage of by the traitors. This time, we must let them test the power of the Golden Crow Formation."
The Golden Crow's pale face had a hint of savagery as he said coldly.
He wanted to use the blood of Zhou Yang's group to wash away the humiliation he had suffered.
"Canopy Marshal, all the Heavenly Soldiers have returned?"
The Jade Emperor suddenly stood up as a cold light flashed through his eyes.
"Yes."
The Canopy Marshal nodded and said.
"Good. Gather the troops and immediately destroy the traitors below."
A sharp killing intent flashed through the Jade Emperor's eyes. Last time, he had underestimated the strength of Zhou Yang's group. This time, he had to make ample preparations and suppress Zhou Yang's group with lightning speed.
The Canopy Marshal: "…"
Your Majesty, don't you think there are too many suspicious points here?
However, seeing the excited Jade Emperor and the ten Golden Crows full of hatred, the Canopy Marshal obediently shut his mouth. He knew he couldn't stop the Jade Emperor and the ten Golden Crows who were filled with the desire for revenge.
