Chapter 740

Look? Listen?

This is my good helper! This is the glory of the Heavenly Court!

The Jade Emperor felt immense appreciation for the Nine Heavens Demon-Suppressing True Monarch at this moment.

At the same time, he felt even more disgust for those cowardly, shrinking, and useless immortals.

However, this is a time when the Heavenly Court needs people; even if there are some complaints, the Jade Emperor cannot speak them out clearly.

After all, no matter how weak the power, it is still a power; there will always be a place where it can be used.

"I am very gratified by the Demon-Suppressing True Monarch's bold words."

"But the matter of the Witch-Demon battlefield is not so easily solved; I already have a plan."

Upon hearing that the Jade Emperor had a plan, the immortals' expressions immediately relaxed.

They felt that the matter did not seem so serious after all.

Seeing such a scene, the Jade Emperor wished he could slap each of them to wake these useless things up.

But on the surface, he still smiled slightly and laid out his thoughts completely.

After an explanation, Taibai Jinxing asked with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, if we do this, won't our Heavenly Court be openly fighting with the West?"

"If this happens, I fear those two Saints will not agree, right?"

Hearing about the two Saints, the immortals felt anxious in their hearts and immediately dared not speak.

Even if their Heavenly Court's surface status is not low, and the Jade Emperor is the Lord of the Heaven Realm.

But after all, he is not a Saint; in the eyes of the two Saints, he is no more than an ant.

If he really angered the two Saints, he would fear suffering a great loss.

Thinking about it, some immortals wanted to persuade the Jade Emperor to change his mind and use another method.

But a gaze from the Jade Emperor extinguished all these attempts to stop him.

And without backing down, he said: "My mind is made up!"

Seeing this, no one dared to persuade him anymore.

However, Taibai Jinxing still had concerns and asked: "Your Majesty, since we are to establish the Eastern Tour, how should the candidates be determined?"

For a moment, there was noise in the hall again, as they discussed who was a suitable candidate.

At the very least, almost none of them were willing to take on this responsibility.

Some words reached the Jade Emperor's ears, making him feel even more angry.

But he forcibly endured it, his gaze falling on one person.

"Emperor Donghua, I wonder if you could serve as an example and go down to the lower realm for my Heavenly Court?"

Suddenly called by name, Emperor Donghua's brows twitched, and he felt quite helpless in his heart.

If asked to do something for the Heavenly Court, he would naturally not refuse.

But he did not know if this matter was good or bad, and he always felt that it was very likely he would pay a price without any reward.

Because of this, Emperor Donghua also hesitated in his heart.

It was just that, in front of so many immortals, Emperor Donghua knew it would be difficult to escape this time.

So he had to say in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, being able to share the worries of the Heavenly Court is naturally a good thing. How could I be unwilling? This is a tremendous honor."

The Jade Emperor immediately beamed with joy.

"Good, good, good!!"

After praising him repeatedly, the Jade Emperor found Emperor Donghua increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Especially since Emperor Donghua's cultivation is not shallow, and his status and position are extremely in line with the requirements.

If the Eastern Tour can succeed, it will surely bring tremendous fortune to the Heavenly Court; this is great merit.

Originally, the Jade Emperor was worried that Emperor Donghua would not be willing to suffer this hardship, but now he felt his worry was completely unnecessary.

Looking at the other immortals, with their dodging and hiding, he felt even more dissatisfied.

However, the Jade Emperor is too lazy to pay attention to these useless things now; he just informed them of the matter, and when there is any movement that requires them to pay a price, no one will be able to push back.

Subsequently, the Jade Emperor looked at Taibai Jinxing and ordered: "There is one more top priority in my plan, and that is to invite people from the Witch race to join and travel with Emperor Donghua. You should look into arranging this matter."

Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing truly saw stars and did not know what to do.

"Your Majesty, this... currently the Witch race only has Mother Houtu. How can I invite her?"

"Please spare this old servant."

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor could not help but smile.

Then he comforted him: "My dear minister, do not worry. It is not asking you to invite people now, but to wait until the Witch race shows signs of revival, then you go find Mother Houtu. With your abilities, I believe you will not disappoint me, right?"

After receiving the explanation, Taibai Jinxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if he were really forced to do this, he might as well just leave the Heavenly Court and become a loose immortal.

The saying goes that accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger; Taibai Jinxing has done many things under the Jade Emperor and knows the dangers involved.

He had long had thoughts of retiring.

It is just that being an official in the Heavenly Court is not like the imperial palace of the human race in the lower realm, where one can resign and leave.

The world is vast, but I fear it is difficult to find such a relaxing place to rest.

Thinking this way, Taibai Jinxing's face could not help but sink, feeling as if his fate had been bound, and he felt very helpless.

At this time, the Jade Emperor did not notice Taibai Jinxing's change in expression at all and just continued to arrange matters regarding the Eastern Tour.

At this moment, someone suddenly offered an opinion.

"Your Majesty, if the Eastern Tour is to counter the West's journey, and also to stabilize our Heavenly Court, why not bring back Marshal Tianpeng?"

"Marshal Tianpeng went to the lower realm without permission and is with that demon monkey; he is already a person atoning for his crimes. If given this opportunity, I believe he will not miss it."

The person speaking was none other than the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing.

Before, when Tianpeng rebelled against the Heavenly Court and went to the lower realm, he had always held a grudge; this time, he just wanted to let Tianpeng come up to atone for his crimes.

After hearing this proposal, the Jade Emperor was also weighing whether it was feasible.

After all, the current Tianpeng no longer has such a simple status.

Once, Tianpeng was a nominal disciple of Laozi's disciple, and his status could be said to be very shallow.

Without any background, he could only follow arrangements and have his fate controlled.

But the current Tianpeng has already been accepted as a nominal disciple by Tongtian Jiaozhu, and the significance is completely different.

One is a disciple of a Saint's disciple, the other is a disciple of a Saint; it is simply a world of difference.

Plus, now that the Jie Sect is reviving, Tongtian is recognized as the number one Saint.

If one were to say Tianpeng is a person atoning for crimes, wouldn't that be slapping Saint Tongtian in the face?

Thinking back and forth, the Jade Emperor still felt this method was not very good, but then he had a change of thought, perhaps it was feasible.

So he looked at Li Jing and ordered: "You go to Mount Huaguo and invite Tianpeng back to the Heavenly Palace, saying that I have a good thing to entrust to him, and all previous matters will be wiped clean. If he agrees, I can promise to restore his position as Marshal Tianpeng, and there will be other rewards later."

"Additionally, Nezha, you personally go to Biyou Palace to pay respects to Saint Tongtian, and say that I am borrowing Tianpeng for a use, and there will definitely be no harm done." ===== CHAPTER 742 =====
