Chapter 564: Four Six Nine, the time has come _2

"Such performances from the gods bring shame upon Heaven Court. If the death of Martial Virtue Star Lord was suspicious, the blame cannot rest on Emperor Lord, but on these celestial soldiers and generals."

"Their incompetence is beyond anyone’s imagination. If not for their hindrance, based on the Emperor Lord’s performance this time, our Heaven Court’s reputation would have greatly improved."

"Unfortunately, the favorable situation created by Emperor Lord was ruined by these useless beings."

At this moment, another immortal person chimed in angrily, "With such power, not to mention killing six Great Luo Golden Immortals, even sixteen of them would be enough. With such a huge advantage, it’s shocking that our gods were defeated, and it was a bitter defeat."

"Calling them a bunch of useless swillers and gluttons is being kind."

One Star Lord after another came forward, pulling the blame for the death of Martial Virtue Star Lord away from Jiang Chen and laying it squarely on the shoulders of the Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing, and the other gods."

Emperor Lord is wise and martial, all of his strategies were flawless. The only error was his misjudgment of people’s characters."

He highly overestimated the gods of Heaven Court, not expecting them to be completely useless, ruining the favorable situation and causing the prestige of Heaven Court to be lost."

These are the main points these gods wanted to express."

In essence, everything Jiang Chen did was right, the faults all lay with the Heaven Court’s gods who accompanied him. If they hadn’t been so useless, Martial Virtue Star Lord wouldn’t have died, and the situation wouldn’t have come to this."

When Li Jing, Nezha and the others returned, they were met with harsh accusations. They had to endure being humiliated without having any harsh words to retort.

Jiang Chen remained silent. When the first Star Lord stepped forward, he knew that this Star Lord belonged to the Jiang family."

Following this, the gods of the Jiejiao Sect began adding fuel to the fire, shifting all blame onto the heads of Li Jing and his son."

Now, Jiang Chen didn’t need to speak. The upcoming result depended on the Jade Emperor’s intentions. However, with his knack for defusing situations, he would likely downplay the issue as he always does."

With their heads down, Li Jing and his sons entered Lingxiao Hall silently, standing aside without a word, quietly bearing the ridicule and mockery of everyone."

Originally, everyone was good at shirking duties. There’s an saying ’nobody should laugh at the kettle calling the pot black’, as nobody would come out unscathed if any true secrets were revealed."

But unexpectedly, the death of Martial Virtue Star Lord turned Li Jing, Nezha and others from slackers into scapegoats, completely in a passive position, unable to turn the tables, and could only silently endure everything."

After a long time, when the uproar had subsided a little, the Jade Emperor finally spoke, "Jiuchen, you have merit in capturing the mischievous monkey, what sins have you committed?"

With that, the Jade Emperor took out a wooden sword made of peach wood with Innate Thunder flickering on it, emanating a terrifying majesty. One look and you could tell it was a precious treasure."

"Thousands of years ago, a Chaotic God Thunder fell from the sky and landed in the Pan Peach Garden, breaking a 9,000-year-old Pan Peach tree into fragments."

"I was shocked when I saw this and went to the Pan Peach Garden to investigate. I found this sword in the wreckage of the peach tree."

"This sword is a lightning struck peach wood sword, made from the heart of a 9,000-year-old Pan peach tree combined with Chaotic God Thunder. It exudes a power that wards off evil spirits and can be considered the nemesis of evil spirits and demons."

"Although it’s a Postnatal Treasure, its power is not inferior to Innate Spiritual Treasures. Now, Jiuchen, in view of your merit in suppressing the mischievous monkey, I shall bestow this sword unto you."

"As the saying goes, a treasure sword is fitting for a hero. This sword suits you well."

Upon the Jade Emperor’s words, a servant came forward to take the peach wood sword from his hand and respectfully presented it to Jiang Chen."

To be honest, this peach wood sword was indeed good. Both the Chaotic God Thunder and the heart of the 9,000-year-old Pan Peach tree are precious items."

Jiang Chen may not have need for this sword, but placing it in the Shangqing Palace on Qingcheng Mountain in the Lower Realm would still make it a treasured heritage, capable of upholding the incense."

However, he couldn’t accept this sword. He declined, "Ah, I feel guilty as Martial Virtue Star Lord died because of me. I have no face to accept the treasure bestowed by your highness."

Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor laughed when he heard this, "Ha ha, Jiuchen, who told you that the Martial Virtue Star Lord is dead? Look behind you!"

Upon the Jade Emperor’s words, not only Jiang Chen, but all the other gods in the hall were shocked. They all looked over Jiang Chen’s shoulder, as the Jade Emperor had directed."

And then, everyone had a look as if they had seen a ghost."

That supposedly dead Martial Virtue Star Lord unexpectedly appeared behind Jiang Chen and entered Lingxiao Hall again."

Upon his return, Martial Virtue Star Lord first threw a complex glance at everyone and then walked to the center of the hall with big strides, bowing to the Jade Emperor, "My humble self thanks your majesty for saving my life. I am willing to sacrifice myself to repay your kindness."

After his resurrection, Martial Virtue Star Lord’s appearance may not have changed, yet his aura was completely unrecognizable. The leisurely manner of the Immortal Dao was gone, replaced by the aloofness of the Divine Dao."

Martial Virtue Star Lord, he has apparently switched from the path of Immortal Dao to the Divine Dao!"

Instantly, Jiang Chen understood why Martial Virtue Star Lord didn’t die. Just as he had said himself, it was the Jade Emperor who saved him."

It’s well known that the Jade Emperor possesses a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Investiture of the Gods which not only has the power to confer gods, but also grants immortality to those listed on it."
