I Don't Trust You
The sudden change in the Jade Emperor's expression caused the smiles of the surrounding deities to freeze. They looked at the gloomy Jade Emperor in shock, then looked at Ye Zichen, who was still smiling. All of a sudden, they were unsure of what to do.
"Jade Emperor, what are you doing?"
Flame Emperor immediately stood up and glared at the Jade Emperor with an equally unfriendly expression.
Ever since he arrived, his heart had been racing. He felt that this might be a trap, and that something like that might happen.
Ye Zichen was extremely important to the Immortal Region. Even if I die here, I definitely can't let anything happen to Ye Zichen.
"You weren't my match ten thousand years ago. Flame Emperor, do you really think you can threaten me now?"
The aura in the surroundings froze. The Jade Emperor, who stood in front of Flame Emperor, was like a ferocious beast that pressured him.
He really broke through.
The Flame Emperor, who was blocking in front, thought to himself. This feeling was definitely right.
He took that step.
"Alright."
At that moment, Ye Zichen patted Flame Emperor's shoulder, then walked out from behind him.
His expression was completely calm as he smiled towards the Jade Emperor.
"Yang Jian, what are you thinking? Hurry up and take down Ye Zichen!"
The gloomy Jade Emperor shouted. Yang Jian, who had received the order, had a solemn expression on his face, but his body did not move.
"Are you going against orders? Leizhenzi, go!"
Leizhenzi merely bit his lips, but did not step forward.
"Alright, alright," the Jade Emperor nodded darkly. The Jade Emperor nodded darkly and said "good" three times in a row. His gaze swept across the surrounding immortals and he snorted. "If I told you to take him down, would you all be like them?"
The deities remained silent, while the other lower level deities also looked over.
All of them were shocked when they heard that the Jade Emperor wanted to take down Ye Zichen. They did not understand why the Jade Emperor would make such a decision.
Sky Sovereign Ming Ming was the most trusted person by the Jade Emperor's side, and the Grand Steward of the Heavenly Court.
He was below one deity, but above ten thousand deities.
But now, he wanted to detain the Celestial Venerable. Could it be that the Celestial Venerable had offended the Jade Emperor in some way, just like Taibai Jinxing?
Most of the deities would stand on Ye Zichen's side if they were asked to take sides.
It wasn't that Ye Zichen was good, it was just that the Jade Emperor hadn't done anything for the Heavenly Court in recent years.
Of course, they could only mutter in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
"Wow, I really raised a group of loyal immortals."
The Jade Emperor sneered and looked at the immortals around him, including the lower immortals outside.
The immortals remained silent, but Old Lord Taishang stood up.
"Jade Emperor, I would like to ask why you want to capture the Heavenly Venerables."
Under such circumstances, the other immortals remained silent. However, Old Lord Taishang was one of the Three Pure Ones, so there was naturally no problem for him to speak at this time.
"Do I need a reason to capture someone now? Don't forget, I'm the owner of this place. Three Pure Ones, I respect you because the Three Pure Ones don't want to bicker with you. I'll say that I want to capture him right now. Are you going to listen or not? "
The Jade Emperor looked at Old Lord Taishang coldly. It was clear that he was truly angered.
Still, the immortals did not move.
The Jade Emperor smiled sadly and shook his head when he saw the expressions of the surrounding immortals.
"I've managed the Heavenly Court for several hundred thousand years. I didn't think that it would be so difficult for you to capture an outsider. I truly am the Jade Emperor! Fine, since you all want to stand on his side, then I'll just suppress all of you. I don't want the Heavenly Court anymore. "
Boom.
The aura of a supreme instantly swept through the entire Jade Lake. The Jade Emperor seemed to be possessed as his sleeves fluttered with spiritual energy as he glared at the surrounding immortals with bloodshot eyes.
The surrounding immortals also had solemn expressions as they pondered over whether they should resist or not.
"Enough."
Ye Zichen, who maintained his smile, shook his head, then looked at the Jade Emperor in front of him.
He looked at the Jade Emperor, "Since I'm the one you want, then I'll come with you. You must be in a really bad spot right now. I'll give you a way out, but it's up to you whether you want it or not. "
"Alright."
The Jade Emperor, who was threatening to suppress all the immortals, suddenly retracted his aura. He turned around and walked out of the Jade Lake without any hesitation. Ye Zichen also followed him.
"Brother Ye."
Flame Emperor was a bit worried. Ye Zichen merely gave him a reassuring look, then smiled towards the surrounding immortals, "Go do what you need to do.
"Go do what you need to do. I don't want to hear anyone talk about this, understand? I'm going to have a chat with the Jade Emperor. I should be back soon. When the time comes, the Jade Emperor will probably announce something very important to all of you. Stay here and wait for our return. "
The Jade Emperor walked out of the Jade Lake and stood in a rather desolate and cold spot. He looked forward with his hands behind his back.
"It must have been really bad."
Ye Zichen walked beside the Jade Emperor, then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He looked at the place where the Jade Emperor was staring, but he could only see nothingness. He could not help but speak.
"What the hell are you looking at? I can't see anything."
"That's where I just came from. At that moment, the Jade Emperor did not have any of the forcefulness he had when he wanted to capture Ye Zichen. Instead, his expression was filled with reluctance. "I've stayed here for too long. I'm tired of everything here. But when I'm about to leave, I suddenly feel like I can't bear to leave this place. "
Ye Zichen, who was smoking, paused for some reason. What the Jade Emperor said really struck a chord in his heart.
It was just like when he was in the Modern Realm. He hated that place immensely, but the place he wanted to return to the most was the place he hated the most.
"I understand."
Ye Zichen smiled calmly.
"How long will it take?"
"About half a month," said the Jade Emperor calmly.
"I can tell that you already have a candidate in mind," Ye Zichen said. "Otherwise, you could just pick a random one right now. That person who inherits your position will be in a bit of a fluster."
"I do have a candidate in mind," the Jade Emperor nodded with a smile. The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile. "I had already decided on the person who will inherit my position ten thousand years ago. It's just that I haven't ascended for so many years, so I can't give up my position."
"Isn't that great?" Ye Zichen shrugged with a smile. "I was really afraid that you would ask me to manage it for you. Do you know how much the Heavenly Court has driven me crazy in the past half a year? Now that I can finally step down, I'm finally free. Of course, having a suitable successor is also a good thing for you. It'll save you the trouble of worrying about this place after you ascend. "
