Chapter 171: Step Two, Manipulating God in the Name of God

In the clear sky, in broad daylight, a sudden thunderclap appeared, the thunder appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly.

As if it were a warning.

To be honest, Xiao Yu was a little scared in her heart, almost wanting to change her words immediately and say a few flattering words to the Jade Emperor to ease the atmosphere.

But she quietly glanced at her surroundings with the corner of her eye: she was not in the center of the street, but was surrounded by eight divine generals, and the eight divine generals had also activated a divine formation that was very familiar yet strange to her.

It was the first time she had seen the divine formation with her own eyes, and she didn't even know what its name was.

But over the past month, the Purple Mansion had deduced more than a dozen versions of the method of breaking the formation and killing the generals, and she was extremely familiar with it.

She even obtained military way experience from this divine formation and created a "Lone Black Fish Formation" for her good son Black Vajra.

Because she was familiar with it, she immediately understood that she was locked in a narrow formation space and could not rush out directly, but even if the thunder outside struck down, it would not fall directly on her head.

If a divine thunder really descended, it would be the eight bastards hosting the divine formation who would be struck first.

So, she became arrogant and high-spirited again, pointing at Ge Qing and scolding: "Look, listen, even the Heavens can't stand it, and want to use a dry-day thunder to strike you, the bastard who blasphemed the holy God.

The Haotian God is holy and great, cannot be blasphemed, and cannot be defiled!

What are you, to dare to act on your own, rushing ahead of Luo Kai and Zhu Tong to announce Heavenly Punishment, making the villagers nearby misunderstand!"

"No, no misunderstanding."

"Yu Little Fengxian, you scold Ge Qing if you want, don't drag the villagers into it!"

The villagers around, whether they stood on Xiao Yu's side before or scolded Xiao Yu, were all pale at this moment, retreating repeatedly, waving their hands vigorously.

"Dog-fucking Yu Little Fengxian, she is trying to kill all the people in the city!"

Zhu Yitao muttered in a low voice, quietly climbing down from the chair.

Although he said so, he felt ten thousand points of admiration for Xiao Yu in his heart: Good dog guts, good bandit spirit, good sharp tongue... alas, she is likely to die a bad death!

Outside the South Heaven Gate, Erlang Shen tilted his head to look at Nezha, and asked suspiciously: "Looking at Yu Little Fengxian's expression and tone, 'useless loser,' 'evil ghost who violated Heavenly Law,' 'selfish villain in the cloak of righteousness' — these evaluations of Ge Qing can't all be lies, right?"

Nezha understood his big brother's meaning: Why choose Ge Qing as the leader? If Zhu Tong or Luo Kai were chosen, at least Yu Little Fengxian wouldn't be able to pick out any faults.

"Yu Little Fengxian did indeed kill Ge Qing twice.

The first time was by the Flowing Sand River, where Ge Qing's ten-man squad was completely wiped out.

The second time, after becoming a ghost god, all eighteen of them were killed again.

Therefore, Yu Little Fengxian has every reason to despise him as a loser.

When Ge Qing assassinated Yu Little Fengxian for the second time, he had already taken the post of Western Shu Inspector in the Western Sand Domain of the Underworld, and had the duty of protecting the people of Western Shu from being attacked by evil ghosts and demons... but he did not completely violate Heavenly Law.

He told Judge Hu of the Flowing Sand Domain about his grievances, expressing that he wanted to take revenge for himself and his brothers.

Judge Hu pitied him as a loyal person and tacitly allowed his revenge action, while also warning Ge Qing that seeking revenge was a private matter; he could kill others, and others could kill him, and he would bear all the consequences himself.

This is also why the Underworld didn't look for trouble with Xiao Yu after Ge Qing and Zhang San's souls flew away.

As for Ge Qing's reputation for loyalty..."

The Third Prince sighed, "Even if His Majesty wants to compete with Yu Little Fengxian because of that sentence 'even God cannot protect him,' it is impossible to really select a disloyal and unrighteous villain as a Heavenly Soldier.

At least until now, Ge Qing has not done anything disloyal.

In the assassination case on Dam-Bottom Street, he felt that as a ghost god, he had the advantage of being prepared, and didn't think Yu Little Fengxian could hurt his brothers."

Not to mention Nezha, this "ancient person."

Even based on Xiao Yu's investigation and understanding of Ge Qing, she felt he was a low-profile version of "Filial and Righteous Black Third Brother."

Song Jiang was definitely not a good person, but the Song Jiang before the Liang Shan gathering was filial and righteous in the eyes of the people at that time.

Just like Nezha.

His ideological realm was higher, far exceeding modern people, and he saw things much more clearly than the world, but he was still not a "modern person's thought."

Ge Qing and Zhu Tong were definitely not perfect people.

They had done things like stealing chickens and dogs, and even killed people outside the battlefield.

But the Heavenly Court's recognition of them was only "heroic," not benevolent or kind.

Just like the Star Lord Taibai recommending Xiao Yu, it was because she was "loyal and righteous."

God punished her, mainly because of that sentence, not because she killed people.

The gods of the Heavenly Court even chew living people, expecting all the gods of the Heavenly Court to be perfectly benevolent and kind, how is that possible?

"Only saints are perfect. If you can't pick out any faults, even a mortal can directly become an Immortal.

But even the gods of the Heavenly Court have many bloodthirsty and murderous people!"

The Third Prince concluded.

Erlang Shen nodded and said no more.

"Sha Man bitch, I am the Heavenly Emperor's envoy, representing the Heavenly Emperor to execute Heavenly Punishment, it is you who blasphemed God, the thunder wants to strike you." Ge Qing, the person involved, almost exploded with anger.

He had never hated a person as much as he did now.

Previously, Xiao Yu was already the person he hated most, but he hadn't hated her to this extent.

"Old Zhu, Old Luo, activate the Eight Trigrams Star Dou Formation, destroy the arrogant and rebellious Sha Man Yu!" He shouted, letting the two golden melon hammers hang in front of him, his hands quickly forming seals, and a beam of golden light flew out from the top of his head.

The other seven people completely understood the boss's anger and immediately prepared to follow suit.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap appeared in the blue sky again, and the blue-white lightning almost fell on Ge Qing's head.

"Ah, you really have offended Heaven, the dry-day thunder wants to strike you!" Xiao Yu pointed at him and shouted.

Uh, this time the thunder was really not aimed at her.

Ge Qing was not struck directly by the lightning, but his hair stood on end, and a roar composed of thunder exploded in his mind: Are you trying to trap me in injustice?

Ge Qing shivered twice, and his brain instantly became clear.

The reason they manifested holiness in front of people was to show the majesty and justice of the Heavenly Emperor.

Now, because of Yu Little Fengxian's "muddling," she was instead proud and complacent, scolding him bloody, and incidentally mocking the Haotian God.

If he immediately hammered her to death with the golden melon, what would the human people and the gods and Buddhas watching this place think?

Ge Qing took a deep breath, ignored Xiao Yu's thunder-striking words, and said coldly: "Yu Little Fengxian, you were crazy and demonic on Dam-Bottom Street, slaughtering seventeen of my brothers..."

His voice was loud, telling the story of Xiao Yu's crime of slandering God completely.

He didn't bother to hide anything, directly letting all the people at the scene understand that the sentence "even God cannot protect him" was the reason Xiao Yu attracted Heavenly Punishment. Whether she killed Ge Qing and the others or not was not important; the Heavenly Emperor didn't care and didn't pay attention.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the expressions and eyes of the nearby people changed immediately.

"Alas, Yu Little Fengxian is a bit wronged, the Jade Emperor even knows her reputation for being 'loyal and righteous,' and sent a talisman envoy to the lower realm to examine her conduct, this is a great blessing!"

"Humph, not wronged at all, daring to speak such arrogant words to the Heavenly Court talisman envoy, the Heavenly Emperor didn't immediately strike her to death with a dry-day thunder, which is already magnanimous."

"The Haotian God doesn't need to use a dry-day thunder to strike her, she said God cannot protect the person she wants to kill, God easily let everyone resurrect, and even bestowed grace, letting them become divine generals.

This is the true unfathomable majesty of Heaven!"

"That's right, the majesty of Heaven is inviolable, and the little Sha Man cannot understand it?"

"The Haotian God is not only inviolable in majesty, but also fair and strict. Yu Little Fengxian is rebellious, speaks wild words, and says God cannot protect the person she wants to kill. God didn't strike her with a dry-day thunder, but just used great magic power to turn her wild words into a curse and punishment against her.

She said God cannot protect Zhu Tong, God not only resurrected Zhu Tong and the others, but also sent Zhu Tong to the lower realm to strike her with a golden melon.

This is cause and effect, retribution is not pleasant!"

"The Haotian God is majestic and fair, we people in the lower realm admire and fear him!"

As for Xiao Yu, some felt sorry for her, but no one felt that there was anything wrong with the Jade Emperor sending heavenly gods to hammer her with a golden melon.

Basically everyone believed that she had indeed offended the Heavenly Emperor and was guilty.

The only difference was whether the punishment of the golden melon striking the top of the head was too heavy.

As for the Haotian God, the attitude was very unified: fear his majesty, sigh at his justice, and admire the cycle of cause and effect and the principles of Heaven and Earth.

Basically, the effect the Jade Emperor expected was perfectly achieved.

"Yu Little Fengxian, what else do you have to say?" Ge Qing was spirited again.

Xiao Yu neither immediately defended that she didn't want to blaspheme God at the time, nor did she flatter the Haotian God to express repentance.

She asked calmly: "Is there an imperial edict?"

"Just a mere you, still need to bother the God Majesty to write an imperial edict? What do you think you are!" Ge Qing sneered.

Xiao Yu also laughed, "Even if Zhu Yitao wants to arrest someone, he must first open a warrant.

If you don't understand the rules, Zhu Yitao is right there, let's ask him to judge!"

Saying this, she pointed to the government office gate.

Seeing this, Zhu Yitao shrank his head, hid behind the government office runners, and cursed, but didn't dare to shout out loud.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu laughed even more happily, "You say you represent the Haotian God I respect the most, but there is no proof!

You, Ge Qing, are especially suspicious.

After all, in terms of seeking personal gain, faking public office for private gain, and taking revenge for personal grudges, you have a criminal record!

Last time you became a ghost god in the Underworld, you violated Heavenly Law and assassinated me.

Now, by the grace of the Haotian God, you have luckily become a Heavenly Court Heavenly Soldier, it might not be that you have secretly come to the lower realm again, pretending to be the Jade Emperor's envoy to seek revenge on me."

The crowd didn't completely believe her words, but there was some suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Ge Qing.

Just as Xiao Yu said, Ge Qing had a criminal record, which everyone knew.

Seeing Ge Qing's face flush red, wanting to open his mouth to say something, Xiao Yu quickly added: "You don't need to quibble! If the Haotian God really wants to punish me, I won't be able to escape today."

Ge Qing couldn't refute this sentence, "You definitely won't be able to escape."

Xiao Yu said: "But what if 'Old Heaven' stands on my side, an innocent 'righteous person'?"

The Jade Emperor, really cannot be equated with "Old Heaven"!

Today she wanted to prove this to everyone.

"You are innocent?" Ge Qing laughed loudly, "Yu Little Fengxian, you are panicked, you have started to say stupid things.

The Haotian God is Old Heaven, who can you deceive, you can't deceive him, don't you understand this truth?"

Xiao Yu looked around and shouted loudly: "That's right, that night I did say 'Zhu Tong is dead, even God cannot protect him, I said it,' but this is not a complete sentence!

Ge Qing skipped the beginning and end, omitting the context and the words that followed.

The context is that I, an eleven-year-old girl, was besieged by two ghost gods and more than a dozen iron-clad warriors using schemes and strong crossbows.

The Heavenly Palace talisman envoy was on the side, witnessing everything, but didn't come out to persuade or remind me.

After I counter-killed Zhu Tong and the others, the talisman envoy suddenly jumped out from behind and slashed at my forehead with a knife.

If he had reported his identity immediately, I would definitely have obeyed God's will.

But he only cared about slashing at me... Everyone, think about it, at that time there were already two ghost gods, Ge Qing and Zhang San, besieging me, and another god suddenly jumped out, what should I think?

This angry sentence 'God cannot protect Zhu Tong' was never aimed at God, but at the talisman envoy who faked God's name.

And, I immediately said afterwards, 'God didn't come to protect him, so he is dead.'

This sentence is connected to the previous one, without any words in between.

So you have to connect the two sentences to understand my meaning completely.

Whether I lied or not, Heaven knows, Earth knows, I know, the talisman envoy knows, and the all-knowing God must know."

Xiao Yu's gaze swept across the faces of the suspicious crowd, met Ge Qing's increasingly mocking eyes, and said: "So, I didn't slander God!

With God's mercy and reason, he would definitely not send divine generals to the lower realm to punish me.

Ge Qing has no imperial edict and cannot prove himself.

But I have a very simple way to prove my statement."

Now, not only the nearby people, but even Ge Qing and the other seven Heavenly Soldiers were suspicious when they saw her so certain.

Xiao Yu stepped forward, pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and said loudly: "Heaven is above, Earth is below, Sha Man Yu Little Fengxian of the Northern Wilderness is here, please Heaven and Earth be a witness.

As Ge Qing just said, the Haotian God is Old Heaven.

Old Heaven determines everyone's destiny, including everything that happened today, all under Old Heaven's gaze.

No one can hide from Old Heaven, no one can play with Old Heaven.

If Old Heaven wants me to die, I, a mere mortal, facing the Heavenly Gods sent by Old Heaven, will have no power to fight back, and will definitely die today at the hands of Heavenly Gods like Ge Qing, Zhu Tong, and Luo Kai.

If Old Heaven doesn't want me to die, let alone that I have practiced a little martial arts, even if I were so weak that I could only groan on a sickbed, even if Ge Qing and Zhu Tong possessed the great power of Heavenly Gods, don't even think about hurting a single hair of mine.

No one can change the destiny arranged by Old Heaven.

This is my evidence; whoever has the Gao Tianming on them will win.

Whoever is the person of Gao Tianming, whoever represents Heaven's Will, is justice!

Ge Qing, Zhu Tong, neighbors, and even the gods and Buddhas in the sky, who can refute me?" ===== CHAPTER 172 =====

"Ge Qing, Zhu Tong, the neighbors, and even the gods and Buddhas in the sky—who among you can refute this?"
