“What’s all the commotion?”
A voice filled with authority echoed, and the two Heavenly Soldiers quickly turned and bowed.
“Greetings to Li Tianwang, may you be blessed with eternal fortune!”
A dignified middle-aged man, holding the Golden Exquisite Pagoda and clad in golden armor, approached slowly.
The three-inch beard on his lower jaw added a touch of elegance to Li Jing’s appearance.
“Who are you, and why are you making a ruckus outside the South Heaven Gate?”
Li Jing scrutinized the Xuanjin God General with suspicion, muttering to himself.
‘Didn’t my teacher’s message say it was the Clearwater River God coming?
Why is it the Xuanjin God General, and a Clearwater River water soldier?’
In Li Jing’s eyes, Hei Nian’s identity was insignificant.
If it weren’t for the words ‘Clearwater River’, Li Jing wouldn’t have even glanced at the miserable black catfish.
“Reporting to Tianwang, this Xuanjin God General…
…for some unknown reason insists on bringing this black fish demon into the Heavenly Court.
He refuses to explain why, and we could only stop him. Who knew…”
“No need to elaborate, you two have done well!”
Li Jing interrupted the Heavenly Soldier’s narration, nodding in agreement.
As the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court’s armies, Li Jing wouldn’t lightly scold Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
He then turned his gaze towards the unexpected Xuanjin God General and asked.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Tianwang, please allow me to report, I have urgent matters to report to Tianwang!”
The Xuanjin God General dared to bully the two Heavenly Soldiers, but he wouldn’t dare to be insolent in front of Li Jing.
Don’t think that Li Jing is incompetent in various mythological stories.
It depends on who you compare him to.
From the Shang and Zhou dynasties during the Investiture of the Gods, to the current Tang Dynasty.
The Primal Chaos World has passed at least tens of thousands of years.
Li Jing holds a high position and has the support of Buddhism.
Even if his talent was lacking, over all these years, he has still managed to reach the Golden Immortal realm.
Only, for this Golden Immortal of his, apart from the Exquisite Pagoda,
he might be eligible for the title of Golden Immortal Gatekeeper.
But even a weak Golden Immortal is still a Golden Immortal.
Against a True Immortal or a Terrestrial Immortal,
Li Jing merely needs to faintly reveal his aura, and both the Xuanjin God General and Hei Nian would tremble with fear.
The Xuanjin God General quickly told Li Jing everything he knew, like beans spilling out of a bamboo tube.
He was still somewhat intelligent, knowing to transmit the information to Li Jing through voice transmission, rather than making a grand announcement.
“Are you telling the truth?”
Li Jing’s eyes bulged, and a blue vein throbbed on his forehead.
If he knew that mentioning his teacher’s name would be sensed by his teacher,
Li Jing would have wished to directly jump up and curse.
He knew his teacher, Ran Deng, was always secretive and up to no good.
At this moment, Li Jing would have wished to turn around and leave.
But he knew he couldn’t.
“Alright, you two follow this Tianwang, don’t make a scene!”
Li Jing, feeling weary, waved his hand and led the Xuanjin God General and the other into the South Heaven Gate.
“These two have urgent business, you two register them here. This Tianwang will vouch for them!”
Li Jing led the two to a small hall next to the South Heaven Gate, making them register their information.
At the same time, he grasped the Exquisite Pagoda tightly, pondering for a moment.
“Nezha, quickly return to Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, a court session is about to begin!”
Li Jing sent a spiritual message to Nezha, summoning him back.
Buddhism’s sudden attack on the Jade Emperor made Li Jing feel uneasy.
In Zhaojia Village, Nezha, who was riding his Wind Fire Wheels towards Chang’an City, suddenly received the spiritual message.
“Heh, not interested!”
Nezha clenched his palm, shattering the spiritual light into nothingness.
His escape light shot out, disappearing in an instant.
He still needed to hurry to Chang’an City to bring back a few Asura females or Rakshasa females.
Red Boy, that guy, wouldn’t be able to sit around all day and smoke.
What? You ask why not bring men?
Wei Zheng said, even though the Tang Dynasty nobles are licentious, they’re not that perverted!
As for Li Jing, who’s that, don’t know him!
Nezha, who had already freed one arm from control, was no longer the same Nezha.
Just stall for time, that’s all.
When he regains his physical body, who’s the father, who’s the son, it’s still up in the air!
“Didn’t come back? Went off to play in the lower realms?”
Li Jing frowned, thinking that this wasn’t such a big deal.
It shouldn’t be dangerous, at most, it would just attract the secret resentment of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Thus, Li Jing led the Xuanjin God General and the other towards Lingxiao Heavenly Palace.
But before that, Li Jing still cautiously sent a message to the Jade Emperor.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor, who was drinking wine and enjoying the dance in the Tongming Palace, suddenly looked up.
“Hmm? What does Li Jing want from me?”
The Jade Emperor straightened his body, which had been leaning back, and took the spiritual message in his hand.
Li Jing was a member of Buddhism, this was already common knowledge in the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, even though Li Jing was somewhat unreliable, the Jade Emperor still used him.
This was to balance Buddhism and Taoism, to compete for control over the Heavenly Court.
Li Jing’s message at this time, could it be that Buddhism had agreed to his conditions?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the Jade Emperor’s lips.
He happily clicked open the spiritual message.
“Your Majesty, it’s not good, a lower realm immortal has come to report.
The Great Princess Zhang Tian Shou privately married a mortal in the lower realms, someone discovered it, and they’ve come to report!”
“What!”
The smile just appearing on the Jade Emperor’s face froze, and anger burned in his eyes.
Bang!
The Jade Emperor, furious, slammed the small table where the Peaches and delicacies were placed, sending it flying.
“Damn it, how dare this disobedient daughter, has she forgotten the consequences!”
“Your Majesty, forgive us!”
Seeing the Jade Emperor’s anger, the dancing fairies and the musicians playing music all knelt down, pleading guilty.
The Jade Emperor’s sharp gaze swept across the fairies and musicians.
It made everyone’s spines feel cold, and cold sweat poured down their backs.
When the Son of Heaven is angry, a million corpses may lie!
When the Jade Emperor is angry, immortals and deities may perish!
“Get out, all of you!”
The Jade Emperor knew that since Li Jing brought this news, it was a move by Buddhism.
He couldn’t possibly keep it hidden now, killing these fairies and musicians wouldn’t solve anything.
“Tai Bai Jin Xing, summon all the officials, convene a meeting in Lingxiao Heavenly Palace!”
