Chapter 106
Leaving the battlefield, Su Chen drove the clouds all the way east, flying toward Flower Fruit Mountain.
His mood was very heavy, and in his mind, he kept recalling that unyielding face, those eyes that burned with fighting spirit until death, and that shout of "man conquers heaven".
He saved Li Chengqian's true spirit, but so what?
A force that had just ignited hope and tried to make all people self-reliant was so easily extinguished by the Heavenly Court.
Where will those soldiers who followed Li Chengqian and shed blood, and those people who had just lived a good life and pinned their hopes on Li Chengqian, go in the future?
For the first time, Su Chen felt his own smallness and powerlessness.
In the eyes of those high-and-mighty immortals and gods, the fate of mortals and the change of dynasties in the human world might really be just a game that can be manipulated at will.
They don't care who is right or wrong, they don't care about the life and death of the people in the lower realm, they only care about their own incense, and whether their divine position is stable.
Any existence that tries to challenge their authority will be ruthlessly erased by them.
"Heavenly Court..."
Su Chen muttered this name, and a fire burned from the bottom of his heart.
Before, he had more of a sense of alienation and vigilance toward the Heavenly Court based on his previous life's memories.
But this time, he was truly angry.
This kind of behavior of killing secretly without asking for reasons, just because the other party does not believe in oneself, is really despicable and shameless to the extreme.
He accelerated his speed, turned into a stream of light, and soon returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.
The mountain was still a scene of heat.
The demon soldiers were practicing formations under the leadership of their respective demon kings, and the shouting was earth-shattering.
The entire Flower Fruit Mountain was filled with an uplifting atmosphere.
"Brother, you're finally back!"
Sun Wukong was the first to notice Su Chen's aura and flipped to him with a somersault.
"How is it? Is the matter in the Southern Chanbuzhou handled?"
Su Chen looked at Monkey brother's concerned face, nodded, and shook his head.
"Something happened." He said in a deep voice.
Sun Wukong saw his face and knew that things were not simple, and the laughter on his face also converged.
"Go, go back to the Water Curtain Cave and talk."
Soon, in the Water Curtain Cave, the Bull Niu Mowang, Flood Dragon Niu Mowang, and other Great Sages were summoned.
Everyone sat around the stone table, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
"Brother Su Chen, what happened? To make you look like this." The Bull Niu Mowang asked first.
He could see that Su Chen had changed his temperament after returning this time, with an irrepressible edge and coldness.
Su Chen did not answer directly, but took out the Soul-Nourishing Jade and placed it on the stone table.
"In this, it can be considered the true spirit of half a disciple of mine."
He told what he saw and heard in the Southern Chanbuzhou.
From how the teenager named Li Chengqian got his "True Explanation of Martial Dao", how he entered the Dao through martial arts, established an imperial dynasty, and finally, how he was plotted against by the immortals sent by the Heavenly Court in the decisive battle and died.
He spoke very calmly, but the Great Sages in the cave were burning with anger.
"Bang!"
Sun Wukong slammed his fist on the stone table, and the entire stone table instantly turned into powder.
"Too much deception! This Heavenly Court is simply shameless to the extreme!" He was so angry that his monkey hair stood up, scratching his ears and cheeks, wishing he could immediately pick up the Ruyi Jingu Bang and hit the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
"Just because people don't believe in him, he wants to kill them? Still shameless!"
The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang also sneered: "I said long ago that none of those immortals in the Heavenly Court are good things."
The Lion Camel King said: "We must spread this matter, so that the reputation of the Heavenly Court will be completely stinking!"
The Macaque King and Gibbon King looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, thinking it was necessary to publicize the actions of the Heavenly Court.
Only the Bull Niu Mowang frowned and pondered without speaking.
He knew the shamelessness of the Heavenly Court better than his brothers.
"Brother Su Chen," the Bull Niu Mowang looked at Su Chen and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Su Chen took over: "Li Chengqian and his Great Qian Dynasty, they don't believe in immortals and gods, they only believe in man conquering heaven, which has already touched the foundation of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, the Heavenly Court would rather take the risk of leaving a handle and erase him."
"So our Demon Alliance must avoid touching the bottom line of the Heavenly Court." Su Chen's gaze swept over the Great Sages present. "Otherwise, we will be their next target."
"Then what should we do now?" Sun Wukong asked. "Can't we do anything?"
"Of course not." Su Chen shook his head. "As the Mountain-Moving Great Sage said, since the Heavenly Court can do such a thing, we must promote it well for the Heavenly Court."
He looked at everyone and said: "I am going to spread Li Chengqian's story throughout the Three Realms and Four Continents!"
"I want everyone to know that there is such a person who wanted to lead his people to create a peaceful and prosperous age with his own hands, but was ruthlessly strangled by the so-called immortals!"
Su Chen wanted to seek justice for Li Chengqian and also win a public opinion advantage.
The Bull Niu Mowang looked at Su Chen; he knew that Su Chen was using a positive conspiracy.
Even if the Heavenly Court denies it, as long as this story spreads, it will eventually plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of all living beings in the Three Realms, and this seed may take root and sprout in the hearts of countless mortals and cultivators in the future.
Over time, the foundation of faith that the Heavenly Court relies on will inevitably be shaken.
"Good!" The Bull Niu Mowang slapped his thigh and stood up. "Brother Su Chen, I support you!"
"Right! I, old Sun, also agree!" Sun Wukong couldn't wait. "Brother, you tell me how to do it, I, old Sun, listen to you!"
The remaining people also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Su Chen immediately prepared for this matter.
As Su Chen gave the order, the huge intelligence network of the Demon Alliance immediately operated at high speed.
The little demons responsible for intelligence were carefully selected by Su Chen. They were spread across the Three Realms, with different identities. Some were spirits in the mountains and fields, and some were demons mixed in the market. They directly turned into mortals and opened teahouses and wine shops.
In the Southern Chanbuzhou, in a teahouse in a human country.
The storyteller's gavel slammed, and the noisy hall instantly quieted down.
"Last time, it was said that the Great Qian Wu Xian Emperor Li Chengqian, on a personal expedition, launched a decisive battle with Prince Liang in the Northern Plains. The armies confronted each other, and the shouting was earth-shattering..."
This storyteller was actually a bird spirit who had cultivated successfully, with excellent eloquence, best at rendering the atmosphere.
The book he told today was the version that Su Chen had personally modified and then distributed to him layer by layer through the intelligence network.
"Speaking of the Great Qian Emperor, holding a dragon-gall silver spear, in the midst of ten thousand armies, it was like entering an uninhabited land! The spear was like a dragon, invincible, killing the Liang army until they turned their backs and threw away their armor!"
"Good!"
The tea guests below were so excited that they cheered one after another.
