Chapter 742

~6 min read 1,196 words

Tianpeng naturally heard the name Li Jing, so he felt somewhat puzzled in his heart.

"Monkey Brother, what do you think it could be about?"

After several guesses, they could not think of any reason.

Thus, they decided to go and see what was going on.

After all, without any reason, Li Jing would not have come; there must be some trick hidden in this.

He also wanted to see what kind of tricks the current Heavenly Court could still play.

In the past, they were not very afraid of the Heavenly Court's deterrence, and now they would be even less afraid.

At worst, they would just charge up and cause a scene, then take the opportunity to slip away.

With their current status, he really did not believe the Jade Emperor could do anything to them.

Subsequently, the four brothers immediately arrived in front of Li Jing.

Seeing that Li Jing had truly come alone, they were even more surprised, not understanding what it was for.

Li Jing also noticed the appearance of the four, especially seeing Tianpeng, and seeing that his temperament seemed to have changed, he could not help but speculate.

"May I ask the Heavenly Court's Great Marshal, why have you visited today?"

Sun Wukong also did not like beating around the bush and directly asked for the reason.

Li Jing had never liked Sun Wukong, but there was no need for conflict at the moment.

So he glanced at him and said: "I am not here for you today, but because His Majesty wants to find Marshal Tianpeng."

Tianpeng was stunned upon hearing this.

"Looking for me?"

"Could it be that you have forgotten that I am no longer a person of the Heavenly Palace."

"Now, I am the Second King of Mount Huaguo!"

Hearing Tianpeng proudly introducing his status, Li Jing felt even more disdain in his heart.

In his eyes, not being a proper immortal but choosing to go to the lower realm to be with demons is simply asking for humiliation and self-degradation.

Therefore, Li Jing was also very disdainful of Tianpeng.

It is just that, having important matters at hand, Li Jing did not leave directly.

Tianpeng noticed Li Jing's gaze just now and could understand his thoughts.

But he did not care, because in Tianpeng's eyes, Li Jing is now a pitiful person who can never escape his fate.

He can only be trapped in the Heavenly Palace, becoming a running dog driven by the Jade Emperor; when he hears the Jade Emperor's summons, he has to wag his tail in response, which is truly pitiful.

At this moment, Li Jing also directly and simply used a commanding tone: "Tianpeng, His Majesty has an order for me to summon you to the Heavenly Palace for important matters to discuss. Do not delay; come with me quickly."

But the more he was like this, the less Tianpeng wanted to pay attention, and he simply waved his hand: "If you want to go, go yourself. I am not any Marshal Tianpeng; I am now the Second-in-Command of Mount Huaguo, and I have no connection with your Jade Emperor."

"If your Jade Emperor specifically invites me to attend a banquet and sends me treasures that satisfy me, perhaps I could consider it."

Thinking of this, Tianpeng even fantasized that if the Jade Emperor could invite all the immortals, there would be an opportunity to knock them out.

In the past, there were many immortals who did not dare to take action because their strength was insufficient.

Although it is impossible to get very valuable treasures, even a mosquito's meat is still meat!

However, as soon as Li Jing heard Tianpeng's words, he was immediately enraged.

"Bah!"

"You ungrateful thing!"

"You already committed a great crime by rebelling against the Heavenly Court, and you still dare to ask His Majesty to invite you back? Where did you get the face?!"

Hearing Li Jing cursing, Tianpeng no longer had the leisure and directly waved his hand to see him off.

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?

Your Heavenly Court is amazing, but must I, Tianpeng, let you order me around?

Tianpeng's heart is no longer the one that was easily angered.

Instead, he is a mature and grown-up Tianpeng, so he did not get angry with Li Jing; instead, he felt Li Jing was truly pitiful.

After looking at Li Jing with a compassionate gaze, Tianpeng shook his head.

"Monkey Brother, let's go back."

Having said that, the four of them truly did not look back and did not take Li Jing seriously at all.

Sun Wukong ordered the monkeys: "If such people come again, report it immediately; don't let them bully you."

"Yes, Great King!"

The monkeys immediately nodded in agreement.

But this made Li Jing furious.

"What? You're afraid I'll bully these little mongrels?"

"I am the Heavenly Court's Great Marshal! I..."

Before Li Jing finished speaking, Sun Wukong turned back directly.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand was pressed directly against his chest, glaring at him with unkind eyes.

"If you dare to speak rudely to my monkeys again, don't blame this iron rod for being merciless!"

Subsequently, Sun Wukong turned and left again.

And Li Jing subconsciously swallowed his saliva; just now, he felt a breath of death as if it had completely enveloped him.

That feeling made Li Jing unable to believe it.

It was as if he had already died once.

Recalling seeing Sun Wukong fight with the True Martial Great Emperor before, his heart immediately turned cold.

"I didn't expect this monkey to have become stronger again."

However, Li Jing's gaze soon became gloomy again.

"But so what?"

"I am not here for you, Sun Wukong, today; I am here for Tianpeng."

"Stop!"

Li Jing shouted angrily, and the Linglong Pagoda appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Li Jing's gaze was fixed on Tianpeng, and he shouted angrily: "I will fight you today; if you lose, you will follow this Marshal back to the Heavenly Palace to answer for your crimes! Do you dare?"

Provoked, Li Jing also went all out.

Tianpeng, who originally did not want to take action, turned around and looked very seriously.

"If you lose, the Heavenly Court must never come to bother us again."

"Good, this Marshal will not lose!"

Li Jing agreed very simply because he truly did not believe he would lose.

With the Linglong Pagoda in hand, Li Jing felt that taking down Tianpeng would be an extremely easy matter.

In his impression, Tianpeng was still the same as he was in the Heavenly Palace, at most a little stronger.

"Make your move!"

Li Jing was extremely confident, with a smile in his eyes.

"Bang!!"

Tianpeng did not hesitate and slammed a punch full of power onto Li Jing.

"Wha... cough cough cough..."

In order to solve the trouble as quickly as possible, Tianpeng did not hold back.

A full-force strike from an early-stage Daluo is not something Li Jing, this Taiyi Jinxian, can withstand.

Instantly, he was beaten and suffered serious injuries. ===== CHAPTER 744 =====
