Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 317 - 317 306 Liwei

317: 306 Liwei 317: 306 Liwei Martial Virtue God, a character who ranks among the top ten in the military officials of the Heaven Court, is in charge of all military affairs, including the New Recruit Camp and the Heavenly Horse Monitor, among other important places.

He is a character favored by the emperor and is a person of high authority.

Of course, the might behind him should not be underestimated.

Martial Virtue God is not a foreigner, but a native spirit of the heavenly realm.

What he represents is the power of the heavenly realm’s indigenous forces, which is why the Jade Emperor values him so much and gives him great power.

As for his strength, it has long since reached the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Whether it is an ancient Great Luo or a prehistoric Great Luo is unknown.

Such a character is not associated with Jiang Chen in any way.

There should be no reason for him to cause Jiang Chen trouble, yet he does.

Jiang Chen already suspects the reasons for this.

First, it is because of Sun Wukong.

The Jade Emperor’s decision to appoint Sun Wukong as the Stable Manager was largely due to Martial Virtue God.

That day, when Taibai Jinxing wanted to win over Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor casually asked if any position in Heaven Court was vacant.

The Martial Virtue God immediately replied that the position of the Stable Manager was open.

Then, the Jade Emperor appointed Sun Wukong to be the Stable Manager.

Sun Wukong had no knowledge of this until it was inadvertently revealed in a conversation he had with Jiang Chen during a drinking session.

What a disaster it turned out to be.

Sun Wukong, a character known for his pettiness, went after Martial Virtue Star Lord, pestering him and causing him great annoyance.

Poor Martial Virtue God, with all the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, could easily suppress Sun Wukong or even kill him with a slap.

However, due to Sun Wukong’s backing, he dared not take action, leaving him frustrated.

Thus, Martial Virtue God had secretly held a grudge against Jiang Chen, the blabbermouth, which was understandable.

Secondly, Jiang Chen had never paid his respects to the Martial Virtue God.

Typically, when a military official takes office, they should first pay their respects to the Martial Virtue God, who oversees all military affairs, and offer some benefits.

But not Jiang Chen, he has not even bothered to learn in which direction the door of the Martial Virtue Divine Palace opens.

For such a subordinate who seems to ignore his superior, the Martial Virtue God naturally harbored dissatisfaction.

These were Jiang Chen’s speculations, which may not be true.

But his third guess, seemed very plausible to Jiang Chen.

The reason why the Martial Virtue God was making things difficult for him was because of the Jiang family.

In recent years, the Jiang family’s influence in the Heavenly Realm has grown stronger and stronger, gradually threatening the interests of the indigenous forces of the Heavenly Realm.

Conflicts have already arisen between the two sides, leading to several wars.

As one of the representatives of the indigenous forces of the Heavenly realm, it is not unexpected for Martial Virtue God to suppress Jiang Chen, a direct descendant of the Jiang family, in secret.

Unfortunately, Martial Virtue God failed to consider things fully.

If Jiang Chen was merely a direct descendant of the Jiang family, it would be easy for the Martial Virtue God, with his status, to suppress him.

However, Jiang Chen is not only a member of the Jiang family, but also a disciple of the Upper Qing Saints.

To offend him was like poking a hornet’s nest.

After all, whose influence in the Heaven Court could surpass that of Jiejiao Sect?

Over ninety percent of the official deities of the Heaven Court are from the Jiejiao Sect.

Here, the Martial Virtue God had just made things difficult for Jiang Chen.

There, his elder martial brothers and sisters had heard of it and immediately went to the Martial Virtue Divine Palace.

Who among the Heaven Court can suppress the gods of the Jiejiao Sect besides the Jade Emperor?

The moment he saw the gods of the Jiejiao Sect coming, the Martial Virtue God immediately gave in.

Not only did he immediately provide Jiang Chen with 10,000 superior heavenly horses, but he also prepared a generous gift for the Demon Suppression Palace.

He had to yield, for the gods of the Jiejiao Sect occupied almost all the important positions in Heaven Court.

If they really wanted to trouble a solitary Martial Virtue God, they would surely make his position clear and send him to the Immortal-slaying Platform.

…

……

Despite yielding, Jiang Chen remembered this and declared that the matter was not over.

“Martial Virtue God?”

“Very well, I will remember you.

Once I deal with the matter of the Little Cang Mountain range, I will settle the accounts with you.”

Jiang Chen’s fixation on the Martial Virtue God wasn’t out of spite, but rather a matter of unfortunate timing – the former had simply stumbled into the line of fire.

Now, at his initial high position, there was inevitably a lack of prestige, and he was looking for someone to establish authority.

At that moment, Martial Virtue God, a person with the right status and authority, happened to come forward, and Jiang Chen would not let go of this opportunity to establish authority.

He intended to use the Martial Virtue God to assert authority, to let the deities of Heaven Court know that he, Jiang Chen, was not to be trifled with.

In the meantime, he would also use the matter of Martial Virtue God to curb the prestige of the indigenous forces of the heavenly realm and thus enhance the strength of the Jiang family.

The sky was broken and it was Empress Nuwa who mended it.

Hence, in terms of the rightful lineage in Heaven, the Human Race, descended from Empress Nuwa, was more legitimate than the indigenous spirits of heaven.

Without Empress Nuwa repairing the heavenly world, these heavenly spirits would not have had the chance to be born.

Now they want to drive the Jiang family out of heaven?

Unthinkable.

“All soldiers, move to Dongsheng Divine Continent!”

Suppressing his thoughts, Jiang Chen used his magical power to form a Great Sun Heavenly Dragon to lift himself.

He led the Demon Suppression military soldiers toward the South Heavenly Gate.

While establishing authority was important, the matter of the Little Cang Mountain range was undeniably more significant; this involved the acquisition of great merit.

…

……

The sight of seven thousand Demon Suppression soldiers galloping under the heavens led by Jiang Chen attracted quite a bit of attention.

Watching the cavalries galloping across the Heavenly realm ruffled the feathers of some patrolling Heavenly officers.

They moved to reprimand, what kind of behavior was this gallivanting around the Heavenly Realm?

However, upon seeing the banner of True Demon Suppression, they immediately swallowed the words at the tip of their tongues.

The True Demon Suppression was a new favorite of the Heaven Court, reportedly with great connections and currently in its prime, was not to be provoked.

But today, many people had noticed, and while the patrol heavenly officers were too afraid to act, others were not.

Soon after this event, there would no doubt be many in the Heaven Court who would impeach Jiang Chen.

Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn’t care.

This was a good opportunity to see who was dissatisfied with him.

Moreover, there were many shady dealings in Heaven Court.

How many of those deities, apart from the ones on the Gods Investiture List, were clean?

Compared to the deeds they had done, Jiang Chen’s action this time was practically insignificant.

If the event escalated, that would be even better.

Let’s flip the table, dredge up old debts and see who would cave first.

The prestige of Heaven Court has been decreasing daily, largely due to the decadence of the gods in Heaven Court.

If all the gods in Heaven Court were diligent and dutiful, who among the Three Realms would dare to underestimate Heaven Court?

After the Five Directions Tiandi, Heaven Court became worse each day, falling into decay, it was high time for a cleanse.

All those inactive and useless beings should be kicked out of Heaven Court.

Perfectly timed, cleaning up Heaven Court and reestablishing the heavenly decree is also considered a great merit, one that Jiang Chen had been coveting for a long time.

If given the opportunity, Jiang Chen would certainly not let it slip by.
