Demonic clouds covered the sky and the firmament rumbled.
When Ye Xuan and the other two returned to Skypiercing Ridge, they caused countless demons to roar and howl. There were even eight Demon Kings that came to welcome them. For a time, the Skypiercing Ridge was extremely lively.
Ye Xuan's trip to the North Sea took a year. When the Sky-Devouring Toad spread the treasures of the Dragon Palace, the other eight Demon Kings were pleasantly surprised. They discussed how to divide the cultivation resources together.
However, what puzzled the eight Demon Kings was that Ye Xuan went into seclusion as soon as he returned to the Tongtian Ridge. Everything was handled by King Qing Qiu and the Sky-Devouring Toad.
The thing that unsettled the eight Demon Kings the most was the disappearance of Torch Dragon King. They clearly remembered that Torch Dragon King had followed Ye Xuan to the North Sea. Why hadn't he returned?
The group of demons naturally didn't dare to ask Ye Xuan. These questions were naturally answered by the Sky-Devouring Toad and King Qing Qiu. When the other Demon Kings understood what happened in the North Sea, their faces turned pale as waves of shock rose in their hearts.
Torch Dragon King betrayed Big Brother and was personally killed by the Sky-Devouring Toad. In the end, not even his primordial spirit was left behind?
Winged Dragon King died tragically in the North Sea. Hundreds of great demons were killed. The entire North Sea Dragon Palace was destroyed in the hands of the two Demon Kings. What?
When King Qing Qiu told them the news, the eight Demon Kings had different expressions. However, the atmosphere in the Navagraha Cave was extremely heavy. Clearly, what Ye Xuan did was too horrifying.
Of course, King Qing Qiu and the Sky-Devouring Toad didn't reveal Ye Xuan's true identity. They only told the other Demon Kings about the outcome of the trip to the North so that they could be mentally prepared.
Although the North Sea Dragon Palace was destroyed, there were hundreds of millions of sea tribes in the North Sea. The two of them massacred the North Sea Dragon Palace and left so brazenly. They would definitely be seen by some sea tribes.
It wouldn't be long before all the demon forces in the North Continent gathered on the Tongtian Ridge. It wasn't impossible for them to denounce them.
Moreover, the North Sea Dragon Palace was under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court definitely wouldn't sit by and do nothing after such a huge incident. This was also the reason why the eight Demon Kings had heavy hearts.
…
At the same time.
Heaven and earth shook, and all living things were in an uproar.
The North Sea Dragon Palace had been completely slaughtered, and the various Demon Kings had died miserably. When this news spread throughout the Three Realms, it caused all the living beings in the Three Realms to discuss in astonishment. They wondered who would dare to do such a deranged thing.
The various Demon Kings had died tragically in the North Sea Dragon Palace. As the North Continent was extremely chaotic, it was not uncommon for Demon Kings to kill each other and die. However, the North Sea Dragon Palace belonged to the Celestial Court. This time, even the North Sea Dragon Palace had no survivors. This was basically a slap in the face to the Celestial Court.
If it had been in the past, the Celestial Court would have sent an army to the border, and the Celestial Emperor would have personally come to investigate this matter.
However, things were different now. Previously, the East Emperor rebelled against the Celestial Court. Later, the Chan School and Jie School fought in the Celestial Court. The Emperor Ziwei stood on the opposite side of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor really had no one he could use.
Lingxiao Palace of the 33rd Celestial Court.
The Jade Emperor sat high on the throne in the middle. His face was extremely pale. The immortals of the two sects stood on both sides of the palace. However, an extremely oppressive atmosphere spread throughout the Lingxiao Palace.
"My dear subjects, the North Sea Dragon Palace was completely destroyed in a day. This is a challenge to the dignity of the Celestial Court. I wonder which one of you is willing to lead an army to the Lower Realm to investigate this matter?" the Jade Emperor said sternly.
Unfortunately, the immortals looked on coldly. No one answered. This made the Jade Emperor clench his fists. The Zenith Heaven Immortal Aura around him fluctuated slightly, proving how furious he was.
The atmosphere, helplessness, irritation, and all sorts of negative and dark emotions filled the Jade Emperor's heart. This made his face slightly contort, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.
As the saying goes, one knows one's own affairs best.
This time, the North Sea Dragon Palace was destroyed. King Ying Long had already died. This was definitely done by a Zenith Heaven Demon King.
In the past, he only needed to inform Emperor Zhen Wu, and he would naturally deal with this matter. However, Emperor Zhen Wu was killed by Ye Xuan. Emperor Ziwei turned against him and went to the Lower Realm. As for Emperor Gou Chen, he did not even participate in the Celestial Court's grand meeting. At this moment, no one knew where he was.
The Chan School and Jie School were in constant conflict. Looking at the entire Celestial Court, the Jade Emperor did not have anyone he could use.
Daluo Jinxian transcended the Three Realms, was not in the Five Elements, and was not recorded in the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Even if he was the Jade Emperor, he could not force Daluo Jinxian to listen to orders.
The North Sea Dragon Palace incident was clearly done by a Zenith Heaven Demon King. However, looking at the 33rd Celestial Court, no one could take on this heavy responsibility.
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was not even an Overarching Heaven Mystic Immortal. It was fine for him to deal with some ordinary fiendish demons. However, to ask him to lead Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to deal with a Zenith Heaven Demon King was tantamount to courting death.
The Jade Emperor could invite the twelve ancient Golden Immortals. However, the conflict between the Chan School and Jie School was extremely intense now. The twelve ancient Golden Immortals would probably not go to the North Continent for such a small matter.
Moreover, if the Jade Emperor personally asked the twelve ancient Golden Immortals to take action, how would the Jie School view him? This made the Jade Emperor have too many concerns.
Apart from the Zenith Heaven Immortals of the Chan School and Jie School, there was no other Zenith Heaven in the entire Celestial Court. Did the Jade Emperor have to go to the Lower Realm to investigate this matter personally?
The Spirit Mountain of the West and the Underworld of the Netherworld. One was the Buddhist sacred ground, while the other was the place that controlled the Netherworld. Although the Jade Emperor was nominally in charge of the Three Realms, he did not have the face to ask these two forces to take action. After all, this was his Celestial Court's matter.
In the past, the Jade Emperor could still discuss with the Queen Mother of the West. Now that the Queen Mother of the West had hidden herself in the Jade Pool because of the Fairy of Guanghan, the Jade Emperor could be said to be in a terrible state for the past few hundred years.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor could not sleep at night. As long as he calmed down, he would be filled with Ye Xuan's appearance. His greatest wish was to find Ye Xuan and kill him as soon as possible. This was what he really wanted to do.
"Damn it!"
No matter how good the Jade Emperor was at holding back, he could not help but shout in the face of such an awkward situation.
"Venus Taibai."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Venus Taibai's expression changed drastically, but he still bowed to the Jade Emperor. However, his eyes were filled with bitterness. He had already guessed the Jade Emperor's thoughts.
"I order you to lead the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions and a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to the North Sea Dragon Palace to investigate this matter. You must find the culprit."
The Jade Emperor swung his sleeves and stood up from his throne, leaving the Lingxiao Palace. Venus Taibai was speechless and bitter. In the end, he sighed and led a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to the Lower Realm to the North Continent.
It was no wonder that Venus Taibai was dejected. He was only a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Even though he had a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers by his side, the North Continent was filled with demons and monsters. There were also Prehistoric Beasts that were extremely ferocious. Even a great demon could kill him, let alone a Demon King.
Of course, Venus Taibai also knew that the Jade Emperor was not sending him to his death. It was just a perfunctory attitude. After all, if the Celestial Court did not take action, wouldn't the Three Realms see the Celestial Court as a joke?
Venus Taibai had thought it through. He was going to the North Continent to reorganize the North Sea Dragon Palace. As for the so-called investigation, it was just nonsense. After a hundred years, he would return with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and say that he did not find the culprit. Although he would be reprimanded by the Jade Emperor, he could only leave it as it was.
