Chapter 1315: Never Knowing of Any Heavenly Mandate

With Tongtian Jiaozhu as his backing, Marshal Tianpeng was no longer prepared to give Emperor Haotian any face.

After all, respect is mutual; since Emperor Haotian was prepared to make things difficult for him, Marshal Tianpeng naturally would not choose to cooperate.

"Your Majesty, I do not plead guilty."

"Regarding the unauthorized mobilization of troops, I never ordered the one hundred thousand Heavenly River naval forces to descend to the mortal realm together."

"As for defying the Heavenly Mandate, that is even more nonsensical; I have never known of any Heavenly Mandate here in Gao Laozhuang."

Hearing this, Emperor Haotian's expression became very awkward.

One must know that Emperor Haotian had originally intended to be tough in front of the Western Fomen, to let them know that he, Emperor Haotian, was the man in charge of everything in the Heavenly Court.

But he hadn't expected that while his idea was good, Marshal Tianpeng had no intention of cooperating with his performance.

Emperor Haotian was very displeased, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, behind Marshal Tianpeng stood the Saint, Tongtian Jiaozhu.

However, since he was in front of Maitreya Buddha and Venerable Kasyapa of the Western Fomen, Emperor Haotian still uttered some harsh words.

He used this to salvage some of his lost face.

"Marshal Tianpeng, I hope you can explain yourself properly!"

"If there was no order from you, why would one hundred thousand Heavenly River naval forces appear in Gao Laozhuang?!"

"If you cannot explain it clearly, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Marshal Tianpeng felt even more displeased.

'Since you want me to explain, don't blame me.'

After briefly organizing his thoughts, Marshal Tianpeng spoke:

"Your Majesty, it is like this: I became a son-in-law in Gao Laozhuang and endured for three years."

"Such conduct moved the one hundred thousand Heavenly River naval forces, leading them to come to Gao Laozhuang personally to help me."

Hearing this, let alone Emperor Haotian, even Taishang Laojun and the others fell into silence.

They naturally knew that what Marshal Tianpeng said was the truth.

After all, ever since Marshal Tianpeng had been to Mount Huaguo, he had not managed the one hundred thousand Heavenly River naval forces at all.

Under these circumstances, to say that Marshal Tianpeng could still mobilize them was to question the Heavenly Court's management ability.

Although there were constant divisions within the Heavenly Court, the one hundred thousand Heavenly River naval forces could still be managed easily.

However, could this truth be spoken?

Wouldn't saying it expose the existence of Senior Wu Feng?

In the chat group, it was already a situation of many monks and little meat.

If the Western Fomen found out, there would likely be no peace.

Therefore, Marshal Tianpeng's words not only made Emperor Haotian feel embarrassed,

but even worse, they directly angered all the cultivators present who had entered Senior Wu Feng's grocery store.

Originally, whether it was Yang Jian or Taishang Laojun and the others, they were all in a spectator mindset.

At this moment, however, they all began to hate Marshal Tianpeng.

Emperor Haotian also keenly sensed the psychological changes of everyone in the Heavenly Court.

So he spoke directly:

"Marshal Tianpeng, you are very bold! Even at this point, you dare to deceive me. Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly Li Tianwang, Yang Jian, you handle this!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly Li Tianwang and the others, who had been holding back their anger, directly released their emotions.

Marshal Tianpeng now realized he had said the wrong thing and provoked public anger.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

"Don't hit my head, don't hit!"

"What I said was really the truth!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said that. As soon as Marshal Tianpeng said it, even Taishang Laojun, who was watching the battle from the side, moved his fingers slightly.

The Diamond Snare, which was still in Yang Jian's hand, suddenly shot out and struck directly at Marshal Tianpeng's big mouth. ===== CHAPTER 1317 =====
