Chapter 280: Conveying the imperial decree at Jade Void Palace

Thirty-Three Heavens.

Heavenly Court.

Inside Lingxiao Palace.

It was filled with curling immortal mist, dreamlike and illusory.

The immortals and gods were dressed in gorgeous immortal robes, with solemn expressions, standing in two rows.

At this time, Taibai Jinxing and Antarctic Immortal Weng walked in.

Antarctic Immortal Weng had a kind face, with a smile, leaning on a dragon-coiled staff in his hand, came to the hall, and said to Haotian sitting on the throne.

"Antarctic Immortal Weng pays respects to Emperor Haotian, wishing Your Majesty eternal immortal blessings and longevity equal to the heavens."

Haotian nodded slightly, with a majestic expression on his face.

"Antarctic Immortal Weng is a noble guest, and time is precious. Why have you come today?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng laughed: "Your Majesty, I have come this time because Perfected Taiyi of the Chan Sect attacked the Heavenly Court and disrupted order. Our Chan Sect leader has instructed Antarctic to be responsible for this matter, and I have come specifically to explain to Your Majesty."

Haotian's gaze was deep, staring at Antarctic Immortal Weng, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh? Then Antarctic Immortal Weng, please explain in detail how the Chan Sect plans to deal with this matter."

Antarctic Immortal Weng did not forget what Yuanshi Tianzun told him when he left.

Handle it properly, and don't lose the face of the Chan Sect.

"Your Majesty, Perfected Taiyi's actions this time were indeed a bit reckless, but our Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals bear the Heavenly Mandate of the Investiture of the Gods. Everything they do is the Heavenly Dao. The fact that he attacked the Heavenly Palace is the Heavenly Dao. I hope Your Majesty will bring Taiyi over so I can take him back to report to the Heavenly Venerable."

"Nonsense! I am the Lord of the Three Realms; how come I don't know that Perfected Taiyi causing trouble in my Heavenly Palace is the Heavenly Dao?"

Haotian's majestic voice echoed in the Lingxiao Palace, shaking the hearts of the immortals and gods.

But Antarctic Immortal Weng was not afraid and smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty is indeed the Lord of the Three Realms, but Your Majesty has lived in a high position for a long time and is busy with ten thousand tasks; it is normal not to know the Heavenly Dao."

The disciples of the Chan Sect were all glib and turned black into white. Haotian had long since learned this, and said indifferently: "I don't believe your rhetoric. Immortal Weng, do you dare to make a Heavenly Dao oath and let the Heavenly Dao witness it?"

"Your Majesty, as the Lord of the Three Realms, why do you need the Heavenly Dao to witness such a small matter? It is truly inappropriate. Could it be that you have prejudice against our Chan Sect, or is it that Your Majesty has no confidence in your own judgment?" Antarctic Immortal Weng narrowed his eyes, mocking, with a look of contempt on his face.

Haotian frowned slightly. It was clearly Perfected Taiyi who was too arrogant and attacked the Heavenly Court. How did it become his fault in the mouth of the Chan Sect?

He snorted coldly.

"Antarctic Immortal Weng, stop being glib here! Perfected Taiyi is arrogant and self-willed, acting recklessly and committing a monstrous mistake. Not only does your Chan Sect not know how to repent, but you are also arguing strongly here. Do you really think I am easy to fool?"

"You talk about the Heavenly Dao at every turn, but you refuse to make a Heavenly Dao oath. In your own words, is it because you have no confidence in your own words?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng sighed: "This matter is clear and simple; there is no need to make such a big fuss and have to use a Heavenly Dao oath to witness it. Our Chan Sect has always expounded the Heavenly Dao and will never speak nonsense. Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the Three Realms after all; why can't you see this point? Please hand over Taiyi."

An immortal in the hall couldn't help but speak, righteously: "Antarctic Immortal Weng, although you are a disciple of a Saint, is it too much to openly provoke His Majesty?"

"That's right, Antarctic Immortal Weng, you have gone too far." Another immortal stood out, his voice loud: "His Majesty is the Lord of the Three Realms. In this Lingxiao Palace, how can you be so presumptuous and disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Facing the accusations of the immortals and gods in the hall, Antarctic Immortal Weng was indifferent, a look of contempt appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, I am just telling the truth. Your Majesty, you had better hand over Perfected Taiyi; let's not make things too ugly."

Haotian sat on the throne, laughing out of extreme anger. Perhaps he had long been accustomed to the arrogance of the Chan Sect.

Fortunately, his original intention was to provoke the Chan Sect, let them cause trouble, and then go to Zixiao Palace to cry and complain.

Facing Antarctic Immortal Weng's provocation, Haotian spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, carrying endless majesty: "Antarctic Immortal Weng, Perfected Taiyi disturbed my Heavenly Palace and killed countless heavenly soldiers and generals. It is reasonable and logical for my Heavenly Court to ask for some compensation. This is determined by the Heavenly Dao. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, I will not hand over Perfected Taiyi to you. He needs to repay the karma of the Heavenly Court before he can leave."

Antarctic Immortal Weng smiled: "Your Majesty, this is not a discussion with you, but a requirement. Expounding the Heavenly Dao is the responsibility of our Chan Sect. Your Majesty should sit well in your position and stop making unreasonable trouble here."

Haotian snorted coldly and said sternly: "I will also say it clearly. Today you cannot take Taiyi away. Just because of this attitude of your Chan Sect, it is impossible for me to hand over Perfected Taiyi."

"Your Majesty, I said that Taiyi must leave today. He bears the Heavenly Mandate of the Investiture of the Gods. Your Majesty has been going against our Chan Sect; could it be that you want to go against the heavens?" Antarctic Immortal Weng said unhurriedly.

Haotian snorted and said gloomily: "I am the Lord of the Three Realms, maintaining the order of the Heavenly Dao and performing the duties of the Heavenly Dao. I don't say anything, but your Chan Sect talks about the Heavenly Dao at every turn. If you cared about the Heavenly Dao, would you not respect me? You just use the Heavenly Dao as an excuse for your own evil deeds."

"The Investiture of the Gods was originally because your Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals committed too much killing karma. Originally, letting the Twelve Golden Immortals go to the heavens to be officials and follow the Heavenly Dao would have been fine, but you refused. Isn't that also going against the heavens?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng's face turned cold: "Presumptuous! Haotian, you are just a little boy; how dare you talk about the rights and wrongs of our Chan Sect?"

In an instant, the immortal power on Antarctic Immortal Weng surged, and a powerful force instantly spread to the surroundings.

Hearing a loud "Bang!", the immortals and gods in the hall were shaken back.

The immortals and gods stumbled back one after another, some even falling to the ground, their faces filled with extreme panic.

Haotian originally wanted to stimulate the Chan Sect, but Antarctic Immortal Weng angered him with his last sentence, and a powerful power also erupted from his body.

"Presumptuous! Antarctic Immortal Weng, could it be that you want to take action against me?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng smiled at the corner of his mouth and mocked: "You are just a predetermined Heavenly Emperor. We gave you some face and talked to you properly, but it made you unable to recognize yourself. It is time to show the prestige of our Chan Sect."

After speaking, he sacrificed the dragon-coiled staff and smashed it towards Haotian with a momentum that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Very good, then let me learn the power of you, Antarctic Immortal Weng."

Haotian shouted angrily, summoned the Haotian Sword, and fought with Antarctic Immortal Weng.

For a time, immortal power surged in the Lingxiao Palace.

But Haotian was a Quasi-Saint, and Antarctic Immortal Weng was at the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal.

Especially without a powerful magic treasure, Antarctic Immortal Weng soon fell into a disadvantage.

Haotian said: "Antarctic Immortal Weng, your Chan Sect has come to my Heavenly Court to cause trouble again and again. If I don't show my power, do you really think I am weak and easy to bully? Today I will definitely take you down and let you go to the Heavenly Prison to keep Perfected Taiyi company."

Facing Haotian's words, Antarctic Immortal Weng was indifferent: "Haotian, do you dare to be presumptuous in front of our Chan Sect?"

While speaking, he cupped his hands towards the void in the direction of Mount Kunlun.

"Haotian is bold and reckless, does not respect the Chan Sect, please ask the Teacher to take action to punish him." ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
