I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

The Jade Emperor's face was ashen. The series of bad news that came after just one demon-slaying operation had completely shattered his dignity.

First, Zhang Tianshi suffered a setback, vomiting blood and falling into a coma.

Then the demon monkey rampaged and seized the tower, and Nezha revealed his three-headed, six-armed form, and angrily killed Li Tianwang!

"They've rebelled! They've all rebelled!"

The Jade Emperor swept away all the memorials on his jade desk.

"A mere fox spirit's daughter has brought about such a catastrophic disaster! Where is True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao? Summon Yang Jian immediately to receive my decree!"

The assembled immortals below looked at each other, none daring to respond.

Your Majesty, are you perhaps delirious with anger? At this moment, Erlang Shen is completely unreliable!

After a moment, Venus stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, bowed deeply, and his voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Have you forgotten that the Manifestation Saint True Lord... he obeys orders but not summons!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly halting the Jade Emperor's furious momentum.

Yes, Yang Jian... his unruly nephew never sets foot in the Lingxiao Palace, only recognizing official edicts stamped with the Heavenly Court's seal.

"edict........"

The Jade Emperor's expression changed.

"By the time the imperial edict has been issued, Minister Li will likely already be dead at the Investiture of the Gods!"

He looked around the hall and saw that the gods and immortals who usually commanded the wind and rain were now all looking down and lost in thought. In the vast Heavenly Court, no one could solve this urgent problem.

"His Majesty!"

Venus bowed again and offered a plan.

"The only course of action now is to request the Heavenly Venerable of Manifestation to temporarily assume command! Gather the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Nine Luminaries, the Twelve Earthly Branches, the Eastern and Western Stars, the Northern and Southern Gods, the Five Directions Protectors, the Four Duty Officers... mobilize all the elite forces of Heaven! Then lay a net of heaven and earth, and send them swiftly to the mortal realm! We must capture the fox demon girl and that rebellious monkey demon, suppress the rebellion, and only then can we, with thunderous force, crush the villains, relieve King Li's peril, and restore the prestige of Heaven!"

The Jade Emperor's chest heaved violently; he understood that this was the only viable solution at the moment.

The origin of the demon monkey is unknown, but Li Tianwang, leading ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, was completely defeated there, which shows his great supernatural powers.

Furthermore, Nezha's stance is unclear. If he wants to achieve victory in one fell swoop, he will probably have to deploy all his elite troops to completely suppress this rebellion!

The mere capture of the fox spirit and a monkey demon had escalated to the point that the Heavenly Court had to deploy its entire elite force.

Although the Jade Emperor was unwilling, he had to suppress his anger. After one defeat after another, he could no longer afford to lose.

After pondering for a moment, the Jade Emperor finally issued a decree in a deep voice.

"Your request is granted! The Heavenly Venerable of Manifestation and Power is hereby appointed to temporarily assume the position of Grand Marshal for Subduing Demons, commanding 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, with the Four Heavenly Kings as protectors and all other gods accompanying him! He shall immediately descend to the mortal realm to capture the treacherous demons, without fail!"

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

Before the hall stood Wang Lingguan, clad in golden armor and a red robe, his face red and eyes three-eyed, who responded with a thunderous roar that shook the entire hall.

He was originally a powerful and fierce guardian deity of the Lingxiao Palace, and now, having been entrusted with a mission in a time of crisis, his eyes immediately blazed with fighting spirit.

Wang Lingguan thought to himself, "Li Jing, Li Jing, even if I give you a chance, you're still useless."

If I can achieve great success on this trip, His Majesty will surely think of me first when he encounters such a difficult situation in the future!

It's time to change the position of Grand Marshal of Demon Subduing!

Wang Lingguan received the imperial edict, strode out of the Lingxiao Palace, and went to muster his troops and gather his men. (The details are omitted.)

........

Zhongnan Mountain, Louguantai.

The fierce battle has ended, leaving only a scene of devastation.

Louguantai was filled with the cries of anguish, as all the heavenly soldiers and generals under Li Jing's command lay dead on the ground.

The soldiers' armor was torn, their weapons were scattered, and groans filled the air.

The monkey was ruthless, but it didn't kill. Some were seriously injured, and some even had their third leg broken, but none of them died!

Ning Chen was also dumbfounded. The monkey was already so fierce before it even caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Who would be able to control him in the future?

It seems like I and my ancestor have raised a remarkable monkey!

The monkey, leaning on its stick, surveyed the entire scene with an air of arrogance and a wry smile.

"Hehe, have you all submitted?"

All the heavenly soldiers and generals rolled their eyes. It would be a lie to say they were not convinced, but it wouldn't be entirely true that they were completely convinced!

This monkey's staff skills were truly remarkable, but I don't know where he learned those vicious tricks, which he specifically targeted the descent and vital points of the heavenly soldiers.

Even the most powerful celestial soldiers and generals, with their supernatural abilities and indestructible bodies, are inevitably somewhat weak in a place of the cycle of the five grains and the harmony of yin and yang.

In the midst of the fierce battle, they were all taken down by the demon monkey with a single blow!

One of the heavenly generals struggled to his feet and hissed.

"I'll only half-convince you at most! If you're so capable, avoid my vital points and then finish the fight!"

state!

The monkey knocked him unconscious with a single blow, his gaze turning sinister.

"Now you're convinced!"

"I'm impressed, I'm impressed!"

Numerous heavenly soldiers and generals responded in unison, like chickens pecking at rice.

.......

The monkey smugly approached Ning Chen.

"Junior brother, how did your senior brother do today? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Ning Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Leave? This world is vast, but where can one go?"

He finally understood that he and his fellow disciples, including Monkey King and the Da and Guang generations, could naturally return to Fangcun Mountain and be protected by Patriarch Bodhi.

But where should Luo Zhantian, Sun Rongrong, and Qing'er go?

Having offended the Jade Emperor, they have nowhere to settle down, no matter how vast the world is.

With him gone, Qing'er is still doomed!

We'll see the Buddha off to the Western Paradise, and we'll save those who need our help to the very end!

Today he's determined to settle things clearly and distinguish right from wrong!

Ning Chen asked Monkey King.

"Senior brother, did you take Li Tianwang's pagoda?"

Monkey King looked completely bewildered.

"I was busy fighting, I didn't have time to pick up that broken tower. I thought you took it, junior brother!"

Ning Chen immediately understood, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"No problem, just wait and see!"

........

High in the sky, Li Tianwang was fortunate to be saved by the thirty-six members of the Thunder Department who risked their lives.

The Third Prince's Fire-Tipped Spear, imbued with boundless hatred, failed to pierce the heart of this Heavenly King Tato.

Even so, Li Jing was already in a sorry state.

Several deep footprints appeared on the bright and glazed armor. The cloud-patterned helmet fell to the ground and cracked in two. His majestic square face was covered in bruises, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his hair was disheveled.

He was supported by several trusted generals, all of whom were also injured.

Since being personally appointed by the Jade Emperor as the Grand Marshal of Demon Subduing, Li Tianwang had never suffered such an insult. He trembled with rage, pointed at Nezha in the distance, who stood with a spear, three heads and six arms, exuding a fierce aura, and cursed him angrily.

"You unfilial son! You wretched creature! How dare you treat me like this? You just wait! The Heavenly Army will arrive in an instant, and they will teach you... teach you..."

Before Li Tianwang could finish speaking...

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud gong sound rang in everyone's ears, piercing the heavens!

Immediately afterwards, the sky above Zhongnan Mountain suddenly dimmed!

Everyone looked up and saw countless golden threads appearing in the sky. These threads appeared briefly and then quickly disappeared without a trace!

On the ground of Louguantai, the same silk thread flashed by!

Ning Chen's heart skipped a beat. This setup was clearly the Heavenly Court's inescapable net!

Once this net is set, no escape method will be able to break through it, and those trapped inside will have no chance of survival!

In just a few moments, everyone was surrounded by an endless array of banners that blotted out the sky!

Above the sky, like boiling golden soup, countless celestial soldiers and generals appeared in layers upon layers!

Swords and spears stood like a forest, their cold gleam gleaming!

Banners filled the sky, fluttering loudly!

The Four Heavenly Kings, Mo Liqing, Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai, and Mo Lishou, guard the four directions. The four gods are as majestic as mountains, each holding a magical weapon whose light illuminates the heavens and the earth!

The Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Nine Luminaries are arranged in formation like a flowing star map, forming a grand array of constellations throughout the heavens!

There were countless strongmen and divine generals, arrayed in a solemn formation, their murderous aura almost tangible, their divine might making it hard for the people below to breathe!

Wang Lingguan, holding a golden whip and standing on auspicious clouds, stood at the front of the formation, his voice booming like thunder from the heavens.

"Don't panic, Heavenly King Li! Wang Shan is here! By the Jade Emperor's decree, I will assist you in capturing this rebellious demon!"

His gaze swept across the ravaged battlefield below, finally settling on Ning Chen and the others, and he roared authoritatively.

"The net of heaven and earth is cast; you cannot escape! Why not surrender now, or what?!"
