Chapter 891: 681 The Three Sovereigns achieved through accomplishments, the Five Emperors achieved through virtue.

Some sighed in awe at Jiang Chen’s astounding rate of growth. Yet, the sighs didn’t last long, as they were soon replaced by utter shock.

For Jiang Chen had begun to speak.

"Your Majesty, today I wish to attack the Demon Clan, and it is for that reason I have mobilized the troops. Just now, I have already given Your Majesty face. From here on, should anyone else bring up this matter, they shall be deemed an ally of the Demon Clan and killed without mercy!"

Jiang Chen paused in his steps, first explaining to the Jade Emperor the reason for his actions, then addressing the void:

"To those hidden and watching, I do not know who you are nor do I know of your origins, but that matters not. I sincerely hope that in the upcoming great war between the Human Race and the Demon Clan in Beijulu Continent, I will not see your silhouettes."

"If you refuse to heed my advice and insist on meddling in this war, then do not blame me for being heartless. No matter your background, if I find one, I will slay one."

"Not only that but should it apply to your backers, your kin, friends, and family, I will uproot them all, sparing none."

"Anyone who aids the Demon Clan is an ally of theirs and a deadly foe of the Human Race, vowed to death until the end!"

Jiang Chen knew that the commotion caused by the Sun Temple had gained the attention of many masters—not just the Jade Emperor. Many Great Divine Transcendents and powerful entities from the Three Realms had sensed it and cast their gaze this way.

And these words of Jiang Chen were intended for their ears.

Should the powers of the Three Realms simply watch the impending war between humans and demons, there would be no issue. But if they were to interfere and support the Demon Clan, the Human Race would see them as allies of the demons, and enmity would be sworn unto death.

"Everyone, I have said my piece, consider yourselves warned!"

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to tear open the void, and, accompanied by the thirty-six Innate Dao Sovereigns, headed toward Beijulu Continent.

It was at this moment that the Three Realms shook; all masters now knew that Jiang Chen, a rising power of the Human Race, along with thirty-six Innate Dao Sovereigns, marched north to war against the Demon Clan.

On this day, Jiang Chen led thirty-six Daoist Masters to the Lower Realm, causing an uproar across the Three Realms and shocking all clans; they were astounded by Jiang Chen’s resolve.

Was he going to attack the Demon Clan just like that? How could this be so provocative?

"Did the Emperor Lord just say that he’s going to attack the Demon Clan?"

Above in Heaven Court, all the gods were dazed, staggered by the words of Jiang Chen, taking a long while to regain their composure. Even the Jade Emperor’s expression greatly changed, gravely looking towards the direction where Jiang Chen and the others had departed.

"Your Majesty, you must stand for me! That man dared to try to kill me in front of you, clearly showing no respect for Your Majesty or the Heaven Court. Please take action and vindicate me!"

The Martial Virtue Star Lord, returning to his senses, suddenly wailed and kowtowed again to the Jade Emperor, fervently pleading for the Jade Emperor to stand for him.

Did you think the Martial Virtue Star Lord didn’t know that doing this would provoke the Jade Emperor’s dislike? Of course, he knew—he wasn’t foolish. He knew everything and yet chose to act this way, deliberately making these statements to make it difficult for the Jade Emperor to step down.

While the Jade Emperor might resent him for not being able to step down, he would also hold a grudge against Jiang Chen, the root cause of this predicament.

The Martial Virtue Star Lord had thrown all caution to the wind. Regarding his life and death as worthless, he sought only to provoke a conflict between the Jade Emperor and Jiang Chen. He wanted Jiang Chen dead, even if it meant offending the Jade Emperor and living a life worse than death.

After all, his current life was as bad as it could get—how much worse could it possibly be?

The Martial Virtue Star Lord had no choice left, the gap between him and Jiang Chen growing ever wider. Seeking vengeance with his own strength had become an impossibility.

Therefore, he chose the most tragic course of action, instigating revenge against Jiang Chen. Sacrificing everything to stir up a conflict between the Jade Emperor and Jiang Chen, to remove Jiang Chen through the Jade Emperor’s hand.

"Shut up!"

Before Martial Virtue Star Lord could speak further, Taibai Jinxing couldn’t help but rebuke him.

Whether his actions could provoke a rift between the Jade Emperor and Jiang Chen was an unknown, but offending the Jade Emperor was a certainty.

One could see that the Jade Emperor’s gaze towards Martial Virtue Star Lord had turned emotionless, icy enough to chill the heart. The Jade Emperor, a master of intrigue, would not be fooled by the Martial Virtue Star Lord’s thoughts.

That is why the Jade Emperor was even angrier. A great taboo for emperors is to be used by others. It’s always the emperor who uses others, not the other way around.

Initially, the Jade Emperor thought the Martial Virtue Star Lord pitiable and was prepared to reward him with treasures to help him improve his cultivation.

But now, that seemed unnecessary.

When heaven decides to destroy a man, it first drives him mad.

The Martial Virtue Star Lord had gone mad and was not far from death.

"Has the Martial Virtue Star Lord gone mad?"

At this moment, the gods of Heaven Court looked at Martial Virtue Star Lord with a trace of pity.

The man had gone insane.

The one who had acted against Martial Virtue Star Lord was none other than Hou Yi, the reincarnation of the Great Ancient Witch Da Yi, second only to the powerful Xing Tian of the Witch Clan. It’s not just against Martial Virtue Star Lord that he had taken action, he wouldn’t hesitate even if it were against the Emperor Lord himself.

In the Ancient Era, he had already slain nine sons of the Heavenly Emperor, later even taking his bow and aiming an arrow at the Emperor Lord himself.

To say he had audacity was an understatement.

Marked by such an individual, to survive was a stroke of enormous luck. Instead of secretly rejoicing, he sought the Jade Emperor’s intercession, which truly was courting death.

Could the Jade Emperor’s reputation intimidate Hou Yi?

It’s laughable; when provoked, he might even dare to move against the Jade Emperor.
