Chapter 92

"Then in your opinion, Second Great King, what should we do?" a leopard-headed demon king asked.

Su Chen smiled slightly and said: "If we can't beat them hard, we will come soft. They have heavenly soldiers and generals, we have the mouths of the world!"

"Everyone think about it, in this Three Realms, besides those high-above Heavenly Court True Gods, how many people are like us, born in the wild, cultivating bitterly, scattered immortals, demon cultivators?"

"Among them, how many people have suffered the bird anger of the Heavenly Court, been looked down upon by those so-called True Gods, and suppressed?"

Su Chen's words resonated with all the demon kings present, and they nodded one after another.

"Second Great King is right. Those heavenly gods have eyes on the top of their heads and look down on us at all!"

"Therefore!" Su Chen's voice suddenly increased, "What we need to do now is to spread the story of the Great Sage being deceived and suppressed by the Heavenly Court, and make the hypocrisy and ugliness of the Heavenly Court public!"

"We want all the scattered practitioners and demon clans in the world to know how the Heavenly Court treats the Great Sage Saint Qitian! If they can treat Monkey Brother like this today, they can treat anyone in the lower realm like this tomorrow!"

"We want to spread the story of the Great Sage Saint Qitian daring to resist the injustice of the Heavenly Court, resigning and returning to the lower realm, and standing with the vast number of lower realm practitioners and demon clans, so that the entire Three Realms will know!"

Su Chen's words were sonorous and deafening.

The demon kings present were boiling with blood, and their eyes were shining.

"Good! Second Great King said it well!"

Sun Sun Wukong also slapped his thigh and called out excitedly: "Brother, tell me quickly, what exactly should we do?"

Su Chen smiled and told him to be calm, and began his detailed deployment.

He asked the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings to each select the smartest and most eloquent little demons under their command and turn Sun Sun Wukong's experience in the Heavenly Court into various stories.

Then, send these demon clans to every corner of the Four Great Continents.

Whether it is the taverns and teahouses in the human world, the practitioner markets in the deep mountains, or the caves where demon clans gather, this story must be spread until everyone knows it.

The focus of the propaganda is on the core of "Heavenly Court is unfair, squeezing out lower realm practitioners."

A huge public opinion storm led by Su Chen against the Heavenly Court thus opened its prelude.

Soon, the entire Four Great Continents began to spread a story about "Great Sage Saint Qitian resisting the injustice of the Heavenly Court."

In the story, Sun Sun Wukong is no longer just a lower realm demon monkey, but a representative figure of lower realm practitioners who has been deeply hurt by the Heavenly Court.

Countless scattered practitioners and demon clans, after hearing this story, all felt the same.

The title of Great Sage Saint Qitian became famous for a time.

Yaochi, Peach Assembly.

At this moment, Yaochi was filled with immortal music and thousands of rosy lights, everywhere was a scene of singing and dancing.

The immortals, gods, and Buddhas with faces in the Three Realms gathered together.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother sat high in the main seat, accepting the congratulations of the immortals, with reserved and majestic smiles on their faces.

However, behind this peace, in the Jade Emperor's heart, there was always a trace of unease.

He looked toward the outside of the hall frequently, as if waiting for some news.

According to the script of him and Taibai Taibai Jinxing, at this time, that monkey who was angered should have already caused trouble in the Peach Garden, and even should have stirred up the Yaochi Assembly long ago.

But why is it calm now, without any movement?

"What's going on?" The Jade Emperor muttered inwardly.

Just then, an immortal official walked to his side with a panicked face and whispered a few words.

The Jade Emperor's complexion changed instantly.

"What? Left?" The Jade Emperor's voice suppressed anger, "What do you mean left?"

"Returning to Your Majesty," the immortal official said tremblingly, "The immortal maidens who went to the Peach Garden to pick peaches just returned, saying that Sun Sun Wukong, after learning that the Peach Assembly did not invite him, did not cause trouble, but left the Peach Garden with his brother Su Chen, and their whereabouts are unknown."

"Su Chen?" The Jade Emperor furrowed his brows, "Isn't he in seclusion?"

"It seems he just left seclusion."

The Jade Emperor's heart sank suddenly.

He had a very bad premonition.

That Su Chen, with a meticulous mind and full of tricks, is definitely not a monkey with a simple brain like Sun Sun Wukong.

With him by his side, I am afraid things will change.

"Go check again!" The Jade Emperor shouted in a low voice, "Go to the Great Sage Saint Qitian Mansion! Check clearly for me, where exactly did they go!"

The order-transmitting heavenly official took the order and left.

Not long after, another piece of news, like a bolt from the blue, struck the Jade Emperor's head directly.

Great Sage Saint Qitian Mansion, empty.

Only a resignation letter and a Great Sage Saint Qitian seal hung high were left.

"The Heavenly Court is unfair, I won't serve anymore!"

When the message-transmitting immortal official presented the resignation letter to the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor looked at that line of words and was furious.

"Rebel! Truly rebel!"

He slammed the imperial desk, and the imperial desk made of ten-thousand-year warm jade was instantly covered with cracks.

The immortal music in the great hall stopped abruptly.

All the immortals cast their gazes toward the Jade Emperor, whose face was livid, not knowing what had happened.

"Unreasonable!" The Jade Emperor slammed the resignation letter to the ground, "That naughty monkey actually hung his seal and resigned!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar.

The immortals looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Taibai Taibai Jinxing stood in the immortal ranks, also full of astonishment.

He calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that Su Chen would happen to leave seclusion at this time.

This variable completely disrupted all his deployments.

Just when the Heavenly Court was shocked by this matter.

Worse news was on the way to the Heavenly Court.

Two days later, the monitoring heavenly gods of the lower realm kept sending urgent reports.

"Reporting to Your Majesty! In the Four Great Continents, rumors unfavorable to the Heavenly Court are spreading everywhere now!"

"The rumors say that the Heavenly Court is jealous of talent and deliberately suppresses practitioners who ascend from the lower realm, saying that the Great Sage Saint Qitian was forced away by Your Majesty!"

"Now, the scattered practitioners and demon clans in the lower realm are restless. And that Great Sage Saint Qitian has a great reputation in the lower realm!"

Each report was like a loud slap, striking fiercely on the Jade Emperor's face.

He originally wanted to direct a play of "subduing the demon monkey and manifesting heavenly might," but now, he himself had become the villain scolded by ten thousand people in the play.

"Sun Sun Wukong! Su Chen!"

The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth, squeezing these two names out from between his teeth.

He stood up suddenly, pointed at the gods below the hall, and roared: "Pass my decree! Order the Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang Li Jing to gather one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, along with the Four Heavenly Kings, Nine Luminaries Star Officials, and Twenty-Eight Constellations of divine generals to go on an expedition. Flatten Flower Fruit Mountain, capture those two rebels, and bring them to heaven to await punishment!"

However, just at this moment, Taishang Laojun, who had been silent, slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, no."

Laojun's voice was ethereal and indifferent, but carried an unquestionable majesty.

The Jade Emperor's anger was at its peak at this time, and he retorted: "Laojun, why not? Those two rebels, blackening the Heavenly Court like this, should we just let it go?"

"If you send troops now, you will only confirm the rumors, which is exactly what those two want." Taishang Laojun said indifferently, "For the sake of future major events, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."

The Jade Emperor heard this, although unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Laojun's meaning.

He had no choice but to dispel the idea of sending troops to Flower Fruit Mountain.
