Chapter 290 - 290 289 Ye Xuan's Plot

290: Chapter 289 Ye Xuan’s Plot 290: Chapter 289 Ye Xuan’s Plot “However, Huaguo Mountain has seventy-two Cave Demon Kings, and the least of them is a Taiyi Profound Immortal.

Who in the Heavenly Court can undertake this great task of eradication?” Lei Zhenzi spoke in a deep voice.

“If you ask me, if Erlang Shen, the True Monarch, was not injured, relying on his Luotian Golden Immortal cultivation and leading us immortals, Huaguo Mountain would certainly be subjected to the law,” King of Holding Country spoke with certainty.

“Hmph.”

Nezha’s complexion was pale, obviously suffering from unhealed severe wounds, he snorted coldly, “You speak lightly.

How can my elder brother Yang Jian, who is now condensing his flesh body, lead us in battle?”

The whole Lingxiao Palace was abuzz with discussion, chaotic to say the least, yet the Jade Emperor barely squinted his eyes and made no indication.

“Your Majesty, why don’t we seek assistance from the Buddha of Western Lingshan?

Certainly, we would be able to suppress Huaguo Mountain,” an immortal official suggested to the Jade Emperor.

“Are you a pig?

Huaguo Mountain is the place where the Fighting Saint Buddha attained Daoism and has countless ties with Western Lingshan, not to mention that this is a matter of our Heavenly Court.

Even if the Buddha and Bodhisattvas intervene, where would our Heavenly Court’s dignity lie?” Wen Zhong, the Grand Preceptor, scolded angrily.

The arguing grew more intense, with the group of immortals each expressing their views, adding to the chaos of the Lingxiao Palace.

“Esteemed lords, calm yourselves.”

Suddenly, the Jade Emperor finally spoke up, silencing the bickering voices of the immortals.

At this moment!

The Jade Emperor’s face bore a slight smile, exuding the majesty of the ruler of the Three Realms.

He looked around at the immortals and said, “In our Heavenly Court, we have four great emperors: the True Martial Great Emperor, Ziwei the Great Emperor, and Emperor Dongji.

Any one of them is a Daluo Golden Immortal.

How could a mere Huaguo Mountain be an opponent of my Heavenly Court?”

Hearing the Jade Emperor’s words, the immortals’ spirits were uplifted.

Yes, just as the Jade Emperor had said, the Heavenly Court was not without high-end combat power.

These three emperors were Daluo Golden Immortals, revered by the beings of all Three Realms.

If one of them made a move, how could the trivial Huaguo Mountain stand against the Heavenly Court?

Unfortunately, before the immortals could voice their excitement in agreement, Nezha furrowed his brows, stepped forward, and said, “Your Majesty, the three great emperors have long been absent from the Heavenly Court and are wandering who knows where.

Moreover, such a trivial matter as eliminating demons would hardly compel the three emperors to take personal action.

This…

may be difficult.”

As Nezha’s words concluded, the expressions of the immortals turned stunned, with bitterness emerging on everyone’s face.

Just as Nezha said, the three great emperors were all Daluo Golden Immortals.

Not to mention within the Heavenly Court, even in the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, they were high above, so why would they concern themselves with a small place like Huaguo Mountain?

Moreover, Huaguo Mountain had no ordinary roots, and behind it was that unruly monkey.

It is said that the monkey had already stepped into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, and although it had not shown itself for tens of thousands of years, it was certainly not an existence to be provoked.

In other words, below the Daluo Golden Immortal, you can toss and turn however you want, but if you involve a Daluo Golden Immortal, the nature of the matter changes.

To begin with, the immortals of the Chan Sect all wanted to avenge Changsheng Immortal Venerable, yet no one suggested asking the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals to take action because Daluo Golden Immortals were no small matter, which already touched upon the struggle for Daoist orthodoxy.

Although Huaguo Mountain was infested with demons, it had countless ties with the Buddhist Sect.

It was one thing for the two sides to skirmish, but if the conflict reached the level of Daluo Golden Immortals, it was definitely not a minor issue.

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the immortals, the Jade Emperor let out a slight smile, and a sinister glint subtly crossed the depths of his eyes.

“Perhaps the esteemed officials have forgotten, in our Heavenly Court we have the Emperor Dongji.

Though he is not a Daluo Golden Immortal, he fought to a draw against my nephew Yang Jian.

If Emperor Dongji were to go and eradicate Huaguo Mountain, it would certainly demonstrate the majesty of our Heavenly Court,” spoke the Jade Emperor eloquently.

“Ye Xuan?”

The immortals were suddenly abuzz, each with a look of excitement on their faces, clearly shocked by the Jade Emperor’s words.

“Your Majesty is wise, Emperor Dongji’s combat power is unmatched, and he can certainly shoulder this heavy responsibility,” Gold Star Taibai bowed respectfully.

At this moment,

the Chan Sect Immortals’ expressions fluctuated between brightness and shadow, while Zhao Gongming and others from the Jie Sect appeared slightly astonished before they coldly stood aside to watch how the situation would unfold.

Clearly, Yang Jian being severely injured by Ye Xuan was a thorn in the side for the Chan Sect Group of Immortals.

Now that Yang Jian was confined within the Jinxia Cave on Jade Spring Mountain, he couldn’t come to the Heavenly Court at all, and in the vast expanse of the Heavenly Court, only this newly promoted Emperor Dongji possessed the capability to subdue Huaguo Mountain.

“My lord, I concur.”

“I also concur.”

Tens of breaths passed by, and the Chan Sect Group of Immortals voiced their agreement one after another.

Their thinking was simple: whether Ye Xuan eradicated Huaguo Mountain or died at the hands of the 72 Cave Demon Kings, either outcome would be to their benefit and not at all harmful.

“Wait, although Emperor Dongji possesses unmatched combat power, he is after all just a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

How can he fight against the 72 Cave Demon Kings?

This matter still requires further deliberation,” declared Zhao Gongming, leading more than ten Immortals from the Jie Sect who held an opposing stance.

“Zhao has underestimated Emperor Dongji.

Only he is fit for this responsibility.”

The Jade Emperor didn’t give Zhao Gongming and others a chance to retort and immediately drafted a decree in the Lingxiao Palace, even instructing Gold Star Taibai to go to the Weiyang Palace to convey the order, bestowing upon Ye Xuan 30,000 Heavenly Soldiers to descend to the Lower Realm and eliminate demons immediately.

Everything fell into place, facilitated by the Chan Sect Immortals; the affair was swiftly concluded, and though Zhao Gongming and the others wished to stop it, they could only remain silent, as their words carried little weight.

…

Weiyang Palace.

Gold Star Taibai arrived, holding a golden Dharma Decree, to proclaim the will of the Jade Emperor.

“Emperor, please accept the decree.”

Gold Star Taibai handed over the decree to Ye Xuan with caution, fearing that a furious Ye Xuan might question him.

However, to Gold Star Taibai’s surprise, Ye Xuan showed no emotional fluctuation, casually tossing the decree onto the desk.

“Since the Jade Emperor has entrusted me with this task, it is my inescapable duty.”

Ye Xuan paused briefly before continuing, “Go back and tell the Jade Emperor that before the armies set out, provisions must come first.

I need to reward the 30,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Whether it be weapons of Immortal Law or Spiritual Elixirs, have him deliver them to my Weiyang Palace within a day.”

“Yes, your humble servant will surely relay the Emperor’s words.”

Gold Star Taibai was slightly taken aback, but still maintained a smiling face, and then rode a propitious cloud back to the Lingxiao Palace.

Watching Gold Star Taibai’s retreating figure, a sly smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face.

He drew the Jade Emperor’s decree into his hand, and with a burst of Heavenly Fire, he turned the decree to ashes.

“Jade Emperor, you too could be called a cunning hero.

Unfortunately, you’ve been dazzled by the Guanghan Fairy.

That will be your path to demise.”

Ye Xuan’s voice was sinister, with a cruel and mocking glint crossing his eyes.

From the annihilation of Changsheng Immortal Venerable to the framing of Huaguo Mountain, every step had proceeded according to Ye Xuan’s plan, even the Dharma Decree the Jade Emperor had now issued him was within his expectations.

Ye Xuan’s visit to the Guanghan Immortal Palace wasn’t just to borrow a bow and arrow; his primary goal was to incite the Jade Emperor’s anger.

According to Ye Xuan’s guess, had he not provoked the Jade Emperor, the latter would have surely tried to downplay this incident, which was the last outcome Ye Xuan wanted to see.
