C778 Kui niu do you know what your mission is
Now that Third Prince Nezha was not in the Heavenly Court, he didn't have any volunteers in the Heavenly Court. As for Zhou Lie, he was a Monarch, so it was impossible for him to lead troops in the Heavenly Court. The Yang Jian brothers still have some differences of mind towards Haotian. Although Haotian has invited Yang Jian out of the True Lord Temple many times and his position is below one, and he is also the God of Justice above tens of thousands, he was still rejected by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's temperament was rather similar to his mother, the fairy Yao Ji. It's just a wild crane
None of these people were willing to accept troops from the Heavenly Court, so naturally, the task of leading troops fell to Li Jing. Li Jing was a Heavenly King after all, so even though his cultivation was quite high, he still had to shoulder the burden of the Heavenly Court. Although the Heavenly Court didn't need to borrow power from the Five Great Heavenly Emperors, it still wasn't as powerful as they had imagined.
On the mountain, although it seemed like the military might was formidable, it was only mediocre on the surface.
The drum beating sounds in the sky never stopped. Li Jing saw that the lower realm demon king hadn't made a single move, nor did he come out to receive the orders. He was overjoyed, but on the surface, he was still cold. He snorted and said, "Hmph, how preposterous, a little demon actually dares to openly disobey the orders of the Great Celestial Sovereign. Not putting our Heavenly Court in your eyes is simply presumptuous!"
After speaking, Li Jing waved his hand. A red cloak rippled through the world as the generals of the Heavenly Court began shouting, their cries of battle shaking the heavens. A hundred thousand Heaven Soldiers, in Chen Yuyang's opinion, that was the method used by the later generations to deal with that monkey.
Li ChangGeng became slightly embarrassed when he saw Li Jing's rage. He tugged on Li Jing's sleeve and said, "Heavenly King, Heavenly King, don't get angry. His Majesty ordered us to recruit the Demon Ox King, but we haven't even seen him do so.
"Venus, look at the demonic aura here. These Demonic Kings have been in the lower realms for a long time, and they no longer put our Heavenly Court in their eyes." You saw all of this. Today, the troops form a mountain of lightning, if the Great Sky Sovereign were to blame, This King will shoulder the responsibility all by myself! "
Li Qing was in a hurry to eliminate Demon Ox who was accumulating thunder mountains. This was not without selfishness. As a buddhist disciple, it was inevitable that this would happen. Although Xihe Ox Province was not the largest mountain in the world, Demon Ox was still the demon he feared the most.
Once the Thunder Mountain was destroyed, the remaining demons would stick together. They would not accept the blessing of the Heavenly Court at all, and it would be much more reasonable to slaughter them at that time.
However, Li Qing's way of thinking was rather petty. To that enigmatic emperor, a complete Xiehe Province was far more useful than a shattered, stormy Xiehe Province. What's more, the Heavenly Court simply didn't have the capital to deal with the many demons in Xihe Province.
The stratagem of Li Qing's Three Eagles was somewhat sinister, but it couldn't escape the eyes of Haotian. Now that he had eliminated the Thunderpile Mountain, he would definitely be able to achieve a complete victory. Firstly, he would be able to cut off the demon king sitting in between. Secondly, it would also make it difficult for the many demons in Xihe Province to believe in the Heavenly Court. Thirdly, to exterminate the demon kings of Xihe Province, the Heavenly Court would naturally have to pay a price of blood. When the Heavenly Court's power was greatly damaged, the Buddhist Sect would then be able to fish in troubled waters. The Heavenly Court that Haotian had gone through great difficulty to control would once again lose its meaning and become the focus of the fight between saints.
This was not what Haotian wanted to see. This guy was at most just a decoration. He was indeed one of Haotian's trusted aides, but Haotian also knew that it was impossible for him to watch over the army and stop a brazen Heavenly King.
Amongst the group of people that the Heavenly Court sent out, the only one that could keep Li Jing in check was Literari Star.
Amongst the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the Heavenly Court, the Literari Star and the Wu Crooked Star were the two most powerful stars in the Heavenly Court. It wasn't because they had that much power, but because Literari Star and Wu Crooked Star had a special status. Because Haotian had repeatedly sent these two lower realms to receive the Emperor's Qi from the lower realms, it was unknown how many mortal overlords these two would become in the lower realms.
With the human world's Purple Dragon True Qi in their bodies and the heavenly dao in their bodies, the status of these two people was much higher than the other constellations. It was enough to balance Li Jing.
Literari Star was truly a slut like a scholar. Before, the Heavenly Court had sent him to the lower realms to become an overlord, but unfortunately, there were three worlds to him. After unification, the first emperor of the Sima family didn't have much lifespan. Therefore, he quickly returned to the Heavenly Court. As the saying goes, a day in heaven and a year in the mortal world. Therefore, it was only the passing of time.
He had just come back from the Mortal World and didn't have the slightest rest. Haotian once again sent him to supervise the army, Li Jing. This level of trust was something ordinary people did not have. Moreover, in the three hundred and sixty-five constellations, Greed, Seven Deadly Slaughter, Broken Army, Literari Star, and Wu Crooked Star all had a hidden strength within the Heavenly Court.
Even Li Qing had to be afraid.
Li ChangGeng bitterly looked at Literari Star, hoping that this colleague would speak up for him at this moment. After all, he was the one who spoke. It was not like Li Jing would directly reject him and stop him from doing anything. It was good for everyone. However, he acted as if he did not see this Literari Star's mind. He was still expressionless as he looked in the direction of the lower realm's Thunder Mountain.
Actually, the reason that Haotian sent this young girl down here was because he wanted to balance Li Jing and look at the bottom of the mountain. As a result, this white robe with a purple and gold crown, this free and unrestrained style of a scholar, and on his handsome face, there were some white and tender Heavenly Court Literari Stars that didn't interfere much with Li Jing's attack. At most, he would just quietly watch, and from time to time, he would reveal a puzzled expression.
Seeing that Literari Star didn't say anything, Li Qing's heart was at ease.
After all, most of the heavenly soldiers under his command had come from the human world. Some of them were famous, and Huo Quou and Wei Qing were like mercenaries with heavy authority, while Literari Star had once applied for the Mortal World and became the emperor of the Wu Da.
Therefore, within these past few days, who knew how many people were once this Star Constellation's subjects within the Mortal World. Now that everyone was an official in the Heavenly Court, when Empyrean Clear Sky was here, they naturally followed the masters of the Three Realms. And with Empyrean Clear Sky not here, who knew if they would listen to their Savior's summons.
Li Qing believed that as long as Literari Star made a gesture, Heaven Realm Starlord, who had great Mortal World, could still mobilize his powerful strength. At least, out of these hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, most of them seemed to be his own commanders, but over half of them were from the old enemy clans. Although he was the commander, he still could not be manipulated as he pleased.
Sometimes, Li Jing felt helpless. The Heavenly Court was known as a place with millions of soldiers, but half of them were the guards of Empyrean Clear Sky and were his trusted aides. One third belonged to Literari Star, one third belonged to Wu Qu Star, and the other one was scattered throughout the various departments of the imperial court. Even his own son, the Third Prince Nezha, was able to mobilize far more troops than the so-called Marshal of the Heavenly Court.
Those were his old subordinates that had followed him from Feng Shen.
It was unknown when, but Li Jing's position in the Heavenly Court had become extremely awkward. Almost all of the disciples of the Divine Seal Faction were interceptors. Although there were some disciples of the Divine Seal Faction, after the Divine Seal Faction's teacher, Taoist Taoist Wuyi, gave out their teachings and joined the Buddhist Faction, both the members of the Heavenly Court were quite unfriendly towards him.
Furthermore, Empyrean Clear Sky continuously used his powerful Emperor's Art to ignore the buddhist influence in the Heavenly Court. Thus, his current position was getting more and more awkward.
A hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, densely packed together, blotted out the sky and covered the earth as if they were ants. Even if there were a hundred thousand ants, they would be able to kill an elephant. Moreover, these hundred thousand heavenly soldiers only wanted to kill an ox. However, this ox was indeed a bit powerful, and its skin was also a bit thick.
Silver armor, long spear, and the standard configuration of heavenly soldiers. A hundred thousand people headed towards the mountain, and among them were high level immortals like the Demon Generals. Thus, their auras became more and more imposing. However, just as these hundred thousand heavenly soldiers approached the mountain, the mountain emitted a dazzling silver light, causing these heavenly soldiers to fly all over the place. It was like a small butterfly being toyed with. It was extremely awkward.
When he saw the scene before him, Li Jing could hardly believe it. Even Literari Star's expression turned cold. He did not know what had happened. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out one after another in the sky above the drum. One by one, the silver armour was tossed back. Then it collided with the drum, causing the sound to shake the earth. In the end, even the drum made specially for the Heavenly Court was hit until it turned hoarse.
In front of this tiny mountain, this army of a hundred thousand was like ants as they were struck back by the silver light in the sky one after another. And the Thunder Mountain was still standing tall and unmoving. This caused Li Jing, who was supervising the battle in the sky, to reveal a trace of fear. After the fear, he was even more shocked.
With trembling hands, he threw out the Linglong Treasure Pagoda in his hand. Taibai Jinxing immediately felt that something was wrong and shouted, "You can't do it, Sky King?"
But just at that moment, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda in Li Jing's hands had already begun its attack. The buddhist golden light spread out in tens of thousands, enveloping the entire mountain. Even so, Li Qing still didn't have any confidence. After all, the silver light just now was too strange and terrifying. Although the cultivation of the heavenly soldiers was not high, they were all immortals.
It was possible for a hundred thousand ants to kill an elephant. However, no one expected that a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers would be beaten back just like that. This kind of shock took root from the depths of his heart, causing Li Jing, a great Heavenly King, to mutter under his breath.
When the Linglong Treasure Pagoda was in the realm of a god, Li Jing used it to suppress Nezha. This Heavenly King didn't have any good impression of his youngest son, not to mention that after Nezha transformed into the Lotus, his cultivation was much higher than his. Thus, he had no choice but to use this Linglong Treasure Pagoda to restrain his son.
In this world, even though it was the Immortal World, Li Jing and Nezha came from the human world. Therefore, Li Jing had been holding a grudge in his heart from that moment onwards. This grudge had already accumulated for many years. How can there be a son in the world that is better than your father?
Thus, everyone in the Heavenly Court knew that this father and son pair were very troublesome to deal with. This was not like an ordinary family of father and son, much less one who was blessed by the heavens. And in Li Jing's heart, he would forever have two children, two children who had gone to the West to study. As for Nezha, he was a freak to begin with.
