"But there are 72 Demon Kings in Huaguo Mountain. Even the weakest among them is a Grand Unity Mystic Immortal. Who in the Celestial Court can take on such an important task?" Lei Zhenzi said in a low voice.
"In my opinion, if Erlang Xian Sheng was not injured, with his cultivation base of Allheaven Golden Immortal, he would have led us immortals to subdue Flowerfruit Mountain." Dhrtarastra said with certainty.
"Hmph."
Nezha's face was pale. It was obvious that he had not recovered from his injuries. He said coldly, "That's easy for you to say. My Senior Brother Yang Jian has formed a body. How can he lead us in battle?"
The entire Lingxiao Hall was in a mess. However, the Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes and did not say anything.
"Your Majesty, why don't we ask the Buddha of the Western Mystical Mountain for help? He will definitely be able to suppress Huaguo Mountain." An Immortal Official asked the Jade Emperor.
"Are you stupid? Huaguo Mountain is the place where the Fighting Divine Buddha achieved Dao. It has a lot to do with the Western Mystical Mountain. Moreover, this is a matter of the Celestial Court. Even if the Buddha intervenes, where will the dignity of the Celestial Court go? "Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong said angrily.
The quarrel became more intense. The Immortals expressed their opinions and the entire Lingxiao Hall was in a mess.
"Everyone, please calm down."
Suddenly, the Jade Emperor spoke. The quarrel between the Immortals stopped.
At this moment!
The Jade Emperor smiled. He looked at the Immortals and said, "The Celestial Court has four Celestial Emperors. Zhenwu Demon Extinguishing Emperor, Ziwei Emperor, and Emperor Gouchen. All of them are Daluo Jinxian. How can Huaguo Mountain be a match for the Celestial Court?"
Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, the immortals' spirits were lifted. Indeed, as the Jade Emperor had said, the Celestial Court was not without high-end combat power. The three Celestial Emperors were Daluo Jinxian, revered by all living beings in the Three Realms. If one of them were to take action, how could a mere Huaguo Mountain be a match for the Celestial Court?
Unfortunately, before the immortals could chime in, Nezha frowned and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, the Three Great Emperors are no longer in the Celestial Court. We don't know where they are now. Besides, even the Three Great Emperors might not do something as trivial as killing demons. I'm afraid …"
Hearing Nezha's words, the immortals' expressions froze. Bitterness appeared on their faces.
As Nezha had said, the Three Great Emperors were Daluo Jinxian. Not to mention in the Celestial Court, even in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, they were lofty existences. Why would they care about a mere Huaguo Mountain?
Moreover, the Huaguo Mountain was not ordinary. It had the monkey behind it. Legend had it that the monkey had already stepped into the Daluo Jinxian. Although it had not shown itself for tens of thousands of years, it was definitely not an existence to be trifled with.
To put it bluntly, under the Daluo Jinxian, they could do whatever they wanted. However, if the Daluo Jinxian was involved, the nature of the matter would change.
First of all, the immortals of the Chan Sect all wanted to avenge the Longevity Celestial Venerable. However, no one proposed to ask the Twelve Ancient Golden Immortals to take action, because the Daluo Jinxian was not a trivial matter. This was already involved in the battle of orthodoxy.
Although the Huaguo Mountain was occupied by demons, it was inextricably linked to the Buddhist Sect. It was fine if the two sides were to fight on a small scale, but if it involved the Daluo Jinxian's level, this was definitely not a small matter.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the immortals, the Jade Emperor smiled slightly. A sinister light flashed across his eyes.
"My dear ministers, perhaps you have forgotten that we have the East Pole Emperor in the Celestial Court. Although he is not the Daluo Jinxian, he fought to a draw with my nephew, Yang Jian. If the East Pole Emperor goes to destroy the Huaguo Mountain, it will definitely show the dignity of the Celestial Court," the Jade Emperor said confidently.
"Ye Xuan?"
The immortals were in an uproar. Everyone's expressions were extremely interesting. Clearly, the Jade Emperor's words had greatly shocked them.
"Your Majesty is wise. The East Pole Emperor's combat strength is unparalleled. He can definitely take on this heavy responsibility," Venus Taibai bowed and said.
At this moment.
The immortals of the Chan Sect looked uncertain. Zhao Gongming and the others were also slightly stunned. Then, they coldly watched the development of the situation.
Obviously, Yang Jian had been seriously injured by Ye Xuan. This was a grudge in the hearts of the immortals of the Chan Sect. But now, Yang Jian was imprisoned in the Golden Cloud Cave of the Jade Spring Mountain and could not come to the Celestial Court. In the vast Celestial Court, only the new East Pole Emperor had the ability to suppress the Huaguo Mountain.
"I agree."
"I agree."
After dozens of breaths, the immortals of the Chan Sect spoke one after another. Their thoughts were very simple. Whether Ye Xuan destroyed the Huaguo Mountain or died at the hands of the demon kings of the Seventy-two Caves, it was all to their advantage.
"Wait. Although the East Pole Emperor's combat strength is unparalleled, he is only a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. How can he fight the demon kings of the Seventy-two Caves? We still need to consider this matter carefully." Led by Zhao Gongming, a dozen immortals of the Chan Sect objected.
"Minister Zhao, you underestimate the East Pole Emperor too much. He is the only one who can bear this heavy responsibility."
The Jade Emperor didn't give Zhao Gongming and the others a chance to refute. He wrote an edict in the Lingxiao Hall and sent Venus Taibai to the Weiyang Palace to deliver the edict, granting Ye Xuan thirty thousand heavenly soldiers to immediately descend to the Lower Realm to eliminate the demon.
Everything came naturally. With the help of the immortals of the Chan Sect, the matter was quickly settled. Zhao Gongming and the others wanted to stop it, but their words carried little weight and they could only remain silent.
… …
The Weiyang Palace.
Venus Taibai paid a visit. She held a golden edict and read the Jade Emperor's edict.
"Please accept the edict, Emperor."
Venus Taibai carefully handed the edict to Ye Xuan, fearing that Ye Xuan would question her in a fit of rage. But to her surprise, Ye Xuan didn't show any emotion. He just casually tossed the edict on the table.
"Since the Jade Emperor has entrusted this heavy responsibility to me, I'm duty-bound to do so."
After Ye Xuan said this, his voice paused for a moment before he continued, "Go back and tell the Jade Emperor that the three armies have yet to move their provisions. This emperor needs to reward thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Whether it's immortal weapons or miraculous medicines, tell him to send them to this emperor's Endless Palace within a day."
"Yes, this little immortal will definitely pass on the Emperor's words."
Venus Taibai was slightly stunned, but she still smiled and returned to the Lingxiao Hall on an auspicious cloud.
A strange smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face as he watched Venus Taibai leave. The Jade Emperor's edict was sucked into his hand, and a Heavenly Flame turned the edict into ashes.
"Jade Emperor, you can also be called a formidable person. Unfortunately, you have been bewitched by the Fairy of the Moon Palace. This is your path to death."
Ye Xuan said sinisterly. There was a cruel and mocking look in his eyes.
From killing the Longevity Immortal Venerable to framing Huaguo Mountain, all of these steps were according to Ye Xuan's plan. Even the Jade Emperor's edict was within his expectations.
Ye Xuan went to the Guanghan Immortal Palace. Other than borrowing a bow and arrow, his biggest goal was to anger the Jade Emperor.
According to Ye Xuan's guess, if he didn't anger the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor would definitely minimize this matter. That was definitely not what Ye Xuan wanted to see.
