Chapter 623: Heavenly Court Traitor, Jade Emperor Controlled

~7 min read 1,319 words

Only now did Lin Xuan understand why Xiao Yuan wanted him to break the seal.

It turned out that Samaier Wang had been using the power of the sealed Jiu You Bing Long to maintain the healing effects of Han Quan.

Now that the ice dragon had awakened, it certainly would not let Samaier Wang off.

After returning to his own palace, the more Nezha thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

The Jade Emperor's abnormal behavior, Taibai Jinxing's suspicious attitude, and those mysterious black mists...

All of this indicated that a major problem had occurred within the Heavenly Court.

"No, I must find out the truth," Nezha secretly resolved.

He waited until the dead of night and quietly performed the Transformation Technique.

In an instant, Nezha transformed into the appearance of an ordinary Tianbing.

Wearing silver armor and holding a long spear, he looked no different from any other Tianbing.

Nezha carefully left the palace and snuck toward the direction of the Jade Emperor's sleeping quarters.

The night in the Heavenly Court was very quiet, with only patrolling Tianbing walking back and forth.

Nezha blended in among them, without attracting anyone's attention.

Soon, he arrived in the vicinity of Yudi's sleeping quarters.

The security here was tight, and there were guards everywhere.

Nezha hid behind a pillar and carefully observed the situation around him.

Just then, a wisp of black mist drifted out from the sleeping quarters.

"There really is a problem!" Nezha felt a jolt in his heart.

This black mist carried a dense demonic aura, which was completely inconsistent with the holy aura of the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, the flow of the mist followed a regular pattern; it was clearly not a natural phenomenon.

Nezha lowered his body and carefully followed behind the black mist.

The black mist drifted between the palaces and finally floated toward the rear hall of Lingxiao Baodian.

That place was rarely visited and was an excellent spot for secret meetings.

Nezha quietly approached the rear hall and hid under a window to eavesdrop.

Sure enough, sounds of conversation came from inside.

"Lord Taibai, how is it on the Yudi side?" a low voice asked.

Upon hearing this voice, the hair on Nezha's body stood on end.

This voice carried a thick demonic aura and was extremely similar to the aura of Nitian Mozun!

"Rest assured, Lord Mozun," Taibai Jinxing replied respectfully, "The Control Technique is very stable; Yudi cannot detect it at all."

"The one currently sitting on the dragon throne is acting entirely according to your will."

What?!

Nezha was so shocked he almost cried out.

The Jade Emperor had actually been controlled?

And Taibai Jinxing was actually addressing the other party as Lord Mozun?

"Very good," the low voice said with satisfaction, "The Coalition Army's defeat has given us an excellent opportunity."

"Now that there is panic within the Heavenly Court, it is time for us to act."

Taibai Jinxing nodded.

"Following your instructions, I have already persuaded quite a few Immortal officials," he said, "They have all agreed to stop military aid to Mo Jie."

"Although those in the pro-war faction are still opposing it, their numbers are no longer high."

"Li Jing and those people like Nezha are indeed troublesome," the Black-robed Man said, "But it doesn't matter; in three days, there will be no need to keep up the act."

"In three days?" Taibai Jinxing asked in confusion.

"My true form has already finished preparations in Mo Jie," the Black-robed Man sneered, "In three days, I will launch a full-scale invasion of the Heavenly Court."

"When the time comes, we will strike from within and without, and take the entire Heavenly Realm in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, anger burned in Nezha's heart.

So this was all a conspiracy by Mozun!

He first used a clone to control Yudi, preventing the Heavenly Court from sending reinforcements.

Then, he would take advantage of the Heavenly Court's laxity to suddenly invade, taking the Heavenly Realm from within and without.

If the plan succeeded, the Three Realms would truly be finished!

"Lord Mozun is brilliant," Taibai Jinxing fawned, "Once the Heavenly Court falls into your hands, the unification of the Three Realms will be just around the corner."

"Hmph, this is only the first step," the Black-robed Man said, "After controlling the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm will naturally be within reach."

"As for those ants still struggling in Mo Jie, they won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Nezha gritted his teeth, wishing he could immediately rush in and fight this Mozun clone to the death.

But his reason told him that he must not be impulsive now.

The strength of the Mozun clone was unknown, and Taibai Jinxing was not easy to deal with either.

More importantly, he had to save the real Jade Emperor first.

"By the way, where have you locked up the real Yudi?" the Black-robed Man asked.

"In the Confinement Room of the Nine Heavens," Taibai Jinxing replied, "There is a special Seal there; he cannot escape at all."

"And I go to check every day to ensure there are no problems with the Seal."

Nezha firmly memorized this location.

The Confinement Room of the Nine Heavens; that was indeed the place where high-profile prisoners were held.

The security is extremely tight; it will not be easy to sneak in.

"That is all for today," the Black-robed Man stood up, "remember, three days from now is the critical moment."

"There must not be any mistakes!"

"Rest assured, Lord Mozun!" Taibai Jinxing said respectfully.

Seeing that they were about to adjourn, Nezha hurriedly slipped away.

He had to immediately contact those generals who remained loyal to the Heavenly Court.

There are only three days left; he must rescue Yudi before Mozun invades!

Nezha carefully returned to his own palace and immediately began to act.

The first person he contacted was his father, Li Jing.

"Father, the matter is urgent, please come to me immediately!" Nezha said through a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Remember, you must not let anyone know!"

Li Jing arrived at Nezha's palace very quickly.

"What has happened?" Li Jing asked with concern.

Nezha told Li Jing in detail what he had just overheard.

After listening, Li Jing's face turned livid.

"Scoundrels!" He slammed the table in anger, "Mozun has actually infiltrated the interior of the Heavenly Court!"

"No wonder Yudi's behavior has been so abnormal lately!"

"Father, we must act immediately," Nezha said urgently, "there are only three days left!"

Li Jing nodded.

"You are right, but this matter is too significant," he said, "we need more reliable help."

"Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Leizhenzi should be trustworthy."

Nezha nodded in agreement.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Leizhenzi were both loyal subjects of the Heavenly Court and would absolutely not betray it.

Soon, Yang Jian and Leizhenzi were also secretly summoned.

When they heard the truth, they all wore expressions of shock.

"How detestable!" Leizhenzi said angrily, "Mozun actually dares to control Yudi!"

"This is the greatest insult to the Heavenly Court!"

Yang Jian's reaction was relatively calmer.

"Anger is useless now," he said, "we must formulate a detailed plan of action."

"The Confinement Room in the Nine Heavens is heavily guarded; it will not be easy to rescue Yudi."

Nezha took out the defense map of the Heavenly Court and spread it out on the table.

"I have already thought it through," he said, pointing to the route on the map, "we will act in two groups."

"Father and Leizhenzi will be responsible for pinning down Taibai Jinxing and those traitors."

"Brother Yang Jian and I will sneak into the Nine Heavens to rescue the real Yudi."

Li Jing looked at the defense map carefully and nodded.

"This plan is feasible, but the risk is great," he said, "once discovered, we will be on a path to certain death."
