He was carried here?
Li Nianfan and the Jade Emperor were both stunned, then walked out together.
Li Nianfan's first thought was that the Sea Clan's internal strife had started again. Could it be that the Sea Clan of the South Sea had succeeded in cultivating with the Dragon Soul Pearl and came knocking on their door?
This possibility was very high, and Ao Cheng was most likely the one at a disadvantage.
While thinking, he had already followed the Jade Emperor to the Lingxiao Palace.
In the palace, many Immortals had come, playing the role of spectators.
Hei Bai Wuchang stood in the middle of the palace, while Ao Cheng stood beside them. His whole body was unharmed, and his face was rosy and shiny. However, at Ao Cheng's feet, Ao Yun was lying silently on a stretcher. His face was black, and blood was still gushing out of his mouth. He looked like he was seriously injured.
Ao Yun was injured again?
Hmm? Why did I add 'again'?
"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng …" Ao Yun was lying down, his breathing was weak, and his voice was hoarse, as if he was using the last of his strength to speak.
Ao Cheng's face immediately turned serious, and he said seriously, "Brother Yun, please speak. I'm listening. I'll always be with you."
"Help me, Li …" Ao Yun was panting heavily, and he pointed at Hei Bai Wuchang, "Stay away from them. They're guarding me, waiting for me to die."
Hei Bai Wuchang immediately flew away vigilantly, "Slandering us, are you trying to extort us?"
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing had to pull the rhythm back, and he loudly reminded everyone, "Cough, cough, Taibai Jinxing greets Your Majesty, Empress."
Hei Bai Wuchang and Ao Cheng came back to their senses at the same time, and bowed respectfully, "Greetings Your Majesty, Empress."
Then, he saw Li Nianfan, smiled, and bowed, "Young Master Li."
At the side, Juling Shen's eyes widened, and he scolded, "What's with that attitude? This is our Deluxe Merit Saint, don't be rude, quickly call him Merit Saint! "
Li Nianfan was very satisfied with Juling Shen's performance. A one-man show was often boring, and he needed a supporting character.
Juling Shen's move was on point. He had made a very perfect foundation for his appearance.
He smiled and said nonchalantly, "Sigh, we're all old friends. It's alright. The Deluxe Merit Saint is just a title."
As he spoke, he casually waved his hand. Immediately, a golden light of merit enveloped Hei Bai Wuchang and the others. It was as if they were immersed in a golden stream, and merit was bestowed upon them.
Hei Bai Wuchang, Ao Cheng, and Ao Yun were all stunned. They were shocked to the extreme. They were also caught off guard by this surprise. However, what followed was ecstasy. They quickly accepted it.
He was also a little confused. "Merit Saint … Saint?"
Li Nianfan said casually, "After becoming the Deluxe Merit Saint, I have the ability to distribute merit. It's an interesting little trick."
Was this a small trick?
Hei Bai Wuchang and Ao Cheng's hearts were pounding. Be it shock, awe, or doubts, they were all put aside. Licking was the right thing to do. I'm familiar with this!
Their expressions immediately became serious. They bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan and said sincerely, "Thank you for your reward, Saint. We were ignorant before. Please don't blame us."
"Quick, help me up."
Ao Yun, who was lying on the ground, began to struggle. "I can still bow to you."
"Alright, we're all old friends. There's no need for these formalities." Li Nianfan laughed and said, "You guys have contributed greatly by helping us rebuild the Heavenly Palace. Plus, you guys have accumulated merit. This is what you deserve. I'm just doing you a favor."
"Saint is generous."
"Saint is generous."
Seeing that Hei Bai Wuchang and Ao Cheng were sucking in air and were about to flatter him, Li Nianfan quickly stopped them. "Let's get down to business."
Only then did they embarrassedly retract the flattery that was about to overflow from their mouths.
"Your Majesty, please uphold justice for us!"
Ao Cheng quickly took two steps forward. He was like a completely different person from before. At this moment, even tears came out of his eyes. He said, "My brother Ao Yun was originally in charge of the West Sea. When the West Sea was destroyed, he was lucky enough to survive. Recently, his injuries have been gradually recovering. He wanted to return to the West Sea to take a look. Who knew … that the West Sea was already occupied by evil dragons. Not only that, they even injured him to this extent. If it weren't for Brother Yun's great escape skills, he would have been killed!"
"Wuwuwu —" Ao Yun sobbed hard at the side. He seemed to have something to add.
"Yes, yes, that's right." Ao Cheng understood his meaning and said with righteous indignation, "They actually … actually planted the Dragon Devouring Vermin in Brother Yun's body. This is the second time Brother Yun has been poisoned. He's too pitiful …"
"A mere evil dragon dares to be so arrogant?" The Jade Emperor frowned and said, "Minister Ao Cheng, have you dealt with such a disaster?"
A hint of awkwardness flashed across Ao Cheng's face. He said, "According to Brother Yun, this evil dragon has been hiding at the bottom of the sea. It has cultivated in seclusion for countless years. It also has a treasure with it. It also has a few greater demons and countless lesser demons following it. I'm afraid that only a Grand Heavenly Immortal can defeat it. That's why I came to the Heavenly Palace to ask for Your Majesty's help in dealing with the sea demons."
"Naturally, this disaster cannot be left alive!" The Jade Emperor's expression was solemn and dignified. His tone was firm, but he was not confident in his heart.
At present, the number of Grand Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Palace seems to be zero. Other than himself and the Queen Mother, who have extraordinary cultivations, most of them are still a group of civil officials. Obviously, they can't go to war.
He looked at Hei Bai Wuchang and said, "The Underworld should be peaceful, right?"
Hei Wuchang said, "Your Majesty, the River Styx is rioting. From time to time, the Asura Clan will cause trouble. Moreover, evil spirits are often born in the mortal world. The Underworld … is lacking in manpower!"
Hei Wuchang complained. Bai Wuchang continued to make a request, "Your Majesty, we hope that the Heavenly Palace can lend us some manpower."
"Lend us manpower?" The Jade Emperor's voice suddenly rose, indicating that this was impossible.
Well, he was just planning to borrow manpower from the Dragon Clan and the Underworld. Before he could say it out loud, they brought it up first.
Li Nianfan, on the other hand, revealed a smile that said, "As expected."
"You've seen it too. The West Sea demon disaster is at the forefront. The Heavenly Palace is in need of manpower. Don't mention this again."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "The Underworld is the home of all living beings. There are many talents. We have to make the best use of our time and enrich the Underworld."
Ao Cheng, on the other hand, said, "Your Majesty, when do you plan to send out the troops?"
"It's just a matter of dealing with the evil Flood Dragon. Three days is enough to prepare the troops!" The Jade Emperor was full of vigor. He continued, "Minister Ao, go back and prepare the troops. When the time comes, my Heavenly Army will meet with the Sea Race. We will definitely destroy the evil Flood Dragon in one fell swoop!"
Li Nianfan silently looked at the Jade Emperor, who was pretending to be strong. He didn't say anything.
Let alone three days, they couldn't even prepare in thirty days.
He was naturally clear about the Heavenly Palace's situation. Not to mention Heavenly Generals, they didn't even have many Heavenly Soldiers. How could they go to war?
If the great Heavenly Palace only brought a small group of people, it would be too funny.
However … he could understand the Jade Emperor's thoughts at this time.
The Heavenly Palace had encountered such a problem when it was just established. He couldn't show too much helplessness, especially in front of the Dragon Clan and the Underworld. He had to stabilize the Heavenly Palace's image.
Ao Cheng didn't doubt him and immediately said excitedly, "Okay, I will go back and prepare. I will definitely avenge Brother Yun!"
After he finished speaking, he lifted Ao Yun and prepared to leave excitedly.
"Wuwuwu!" Ao Yun struggled violently, and his desire to live exploded. He panted excitedly and said, "Brother Cheng, I, save me!"
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter."
Ao Cheng put down the stretcher again and cupped his hands at Li Nianfan. "Lord Saint, please treat Brother Yun like last time."
"I have to roast him with fire again?"
Li Nianfan looked at Ao Cheng's arm that hadn't grown out yet and couldn't help but show sympathy. It was too tragic. His life was full of misfortunes.
"Which part do you want this time?"
It was clear that Ao Yun had thought about it carefully on the way here. His face was flushed red, as if he was trying to hold something back. With a "pu" sound, a tail shot out from behind his buttocks. Because he was injured, it hung there weakly.
Ao Yun's face was full of pain. He said sadly, "I can't lose any more limbs. Let's roast the tail …"
"Okay." Li Nianfan nodded and prepared to take out the seasoning.
"Wait." Ao Yun struggled to open his mouth and looked at the surrounding onlookers vigilantly. "Change to a place where there is no one. Don't let others smell the fragrance. I want to leave my tail with an intact corpse …"
The next day.
Li Nianfan stood at the top of the Basilica of the Prince of Merit's attic. He didn't enjoy the scenery, but looked at the various Immortals in the Heavenly Palace who were in a flurry.
In order to prepare for the battle, this group of people was busy. No matter what position they held, they were all sent out to distribute flyers and try to persuade as many people to join the Heavenly Palace as possible.
Juling Shen was training the limited number of Heavenly Soldiers and seriously preparing.
At this moment, Li Nianfan saw the Jade Emperor walking towards him and walked down the stairs.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how are the preparations?"
"Sigh, let's not talk about it." The Jade Emperor waved his hand and sighed. "As of now, there is only one Heavenly General left in the Heavenly Palace, Juling Shen. However, he is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. There are seven Golden Immortals and less than five hundred Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals."
He couldn't even say this number out loud. How shabby was it?
Li Nianfan comforted him. "The Terminus Heavenly Connection has greatly increased the difficulty of Immortal Cultivation. This is different from the ancient times. This number is still acceptable."
The Jade Emperor said, "Saint, you don't have to comfort me. The number of people who responded to the Heavenly Palace is still too little. Now that the Terminus Heavenly Connection has passed, there will only be more and more powerful people. This battle must show the power of the Heavenly Palace!"
After a pause, he continued, "I won't hide it from you, Saint. I have already thought of a countermeasure for this."
Li Nianfan was stunned for a moment.
The Jade Emperor made a gesture and separated a strand of his Divine Sense. Then, a rich light of mana began to flow from the Jade Emperor's body to the strand of Divine Sense. Under the shining light, a human figure gradually condensed.
With a groan, the Jade Emperor's face turned slightly pale. The human figure turned into an unfamiliar middle-aged man and sat cross-legged in front of Li Nianfan.
