Chapter 149 Purge the Emperor's Corrupt Officials! ...

"Think about it—"

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Shen Yi spread his hands, his tone carrying just the right amount of doubt, "When Princess Yaoji was in charge of the Desire Realm, the Three Realms were blessed with good weather and abundant harvests. However, she violated the Heavenly Laws by getting married and was killed by the Ten Golden Crows. In the end, the Desire Realm returned to the Queen Mother."

Li Jing might not have reacted, since he didn't know Yao Ji when he became an immortal, but the heavenly soldiers and generals nodded subconsciously. They still respected Yao Ji, as she was the Goddess of War of the Heavenly Court. If she hadn't been there to fight in the Three Realms, the Three Realms would have been in chaos.

And to be honest, compared to the Jade Emperor who seemed to do nothing but stay in the Heavenly Court, Yao Ji was the one who actually got things done; at least she was the one who actually wielded a long sword to slay demons and monsters.

"Furthermore, think about it, what is the most important event in the Three Realms right now? It's the Peach Banquet. And who organizes the Peach Banquet? It's the Queen Mother of the West."

There's a saying that you shouldn't overthink things, because the world isn't fair. Even ordinary people living in peaceful countries sometimes feel resentful: Why is he richer than me? Why is he more handsome than me? Why is his partner prettier than mine?

"The Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms, wise and powerful. How could he deliberately harm his own sister? And how could he knowingly violate the Heavenly Laws and still make things difficult for his niece? So there's only one answer: someone is interfering! Someone is whispering in the Jade Emperor's ear, someone is using the Jade Emperor's name to eliminate dissidents and seize power for themselves!"

He turned abruptly, pointing to the sky, to the distant, unreachable Heavenly Court: "That person is the Queen Mother!"

The moment those two words were uttered, even the Third Holy Mother's expression changed, because she felt that what Shen Yi said made a lot of sense. The Jade Emperor had indeed considered letting her and her brother go, and perhaps he just needed the Queen Mother's words as an excuse to strengthen his resolve.

But in reality, every time he hesitated, his mother dissuaded him.

Was the mother's death really just due to the Heavenly Laws?

Or is it that someone is really behind all this, just to seize control of the Desire Realm?

Even the parties involved thought this way, let alone the heavenly soldiers and generals who were unaware of the truth. Moreover, what Shen Yi said was not entirely false, but it was a mixture of truth and falsehood. After all, the Queen Mother did do these things and benefited greatly from them. After Yao Ji died, the Queen Mother took power, and the Peach Banquet became the core of the Heavenly Court. The Queen Mother played a role in promoting these events.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother is innocent or not, she has to take the blame because Shen Yi needs an explanation, an enemy, and a target to whom he can vent all his anger, and the Queen Mother is precisely the most suitable choice.

"So we are not rebels!"

Shen Yi's voice boomed like a great bell, stirring the hearts of every heavenly soldier: "You have only been fooled by the Queen Mother. We are loyal ministers who are here to purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"The Queen Mother has deceived the Jade Emperor and wreaked havoc on the Three Realms; she is the true rebel! Our uprising today is not to overthrow the Heavenly Court, but to eliminate the treacherous and restore order! For the sake of all living beings in the Three Realms!"

Li Jing's face was ashen. Although he knew that Shen Yi was inciting people, that rebellious son was standing aside, watching him intently, as if waiting for him to stand up and object so he could be stabbed with a fire-tipped spear.

Moreover, to be fair, having served as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King for thousands of years, he naturally understood the power structure of the Heavenly Court far better than ordinary heavenly soldiers. Therefore, he found some of Shen Yi's words to be quite reasonable. Whenever the Jade Emperor wanted to be lenient, the Queen Mother would always say a few words from the side, saying it was for the sake of the Heavenly Court's dignity, and then the Jade Emperor would change his mind. Thinking about it this way, the Queen Mother really didn't seem like a good person.

Seeing Li Jing standing still and unmoved, a hint of regret flashed in Nezha's eyes. He could only raise his fire-tipped spear and shout, "Purge the court of corrupt officials! Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

Nezha was, after all, a great god of the Three Altars and Seas, and he had prestige among the heavenly soldiers and generals. With Shen Yi's instigation, all the heavenly soldiers stood up. Two hundred thousand heavenly soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, their eyes filled with fanatical light.

"very good!"

Shen Yi summoned Zhu Bajie and said with a smile, "Marshal Tianpeng, you're in charge of training these people. When the time is right, we'll raise the banner of 'purging the court of corrupt officials,' sweep away the Heavenly Court, and restore peace and order to the Three Realms!"

As I said before, these heavenly soldiers and generals are just for creating atmosphere. Shen Yi doesn't expect them to actually do business for him, but waving flags and shouting slogans is still very necessary. And Zhu Bajie, as the former Marshal Tianpeng, is best at this.

Pigsy: I f***ing—

His eyes were starting to glaze over. Shen Yi's entourage was getting bigger and bigger. Could this guy really be going to defy the heavens?

"Well, Mr. Shen, I'm already a monk."

Pigsy gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. If he rebelled, the worst that could happen was death. With Buddha standing behind him, he would at most be reincarnated and start anew. But if he truly rebelled against Heaven, then things would get really interesting.

"Cleansing Altar Messenger, you wouldn't want your senior brother to be poked with a stick when someone takes a picture, would you?"

Shen Yi pointed at Sun Wukong on Hundred Flowers Mountain, his tone gradually turning unfriendly: "I'll tell your senior brother that this was your idea."

Poking with a stick?

Pigsy instinctively glanced at Monkey King's raised buttocks. If he poked the wrong spot, the consequences would be...

No, why are all the blame being placed on me?

I'm just an innocent altar cleaner!

Pigsy was completely numb. He stayed at home peacefully, but then disaster struck. The Pure Altar Temple inexplicably became a base for rebellion against Heaven.

As Sun Wukong's close junior brother, Zhu Bajie knew that Sun Wukong definitely wouldn't believe it, but Sun Wukong would surely use this as an excuse...

He started making trouble for himself—after all, he had done the same thing before, trying to sow discord between Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong.

At the same time, Yang Jian, who had disappeared from the battlefield at some unknown time, silently transformed into a streak of silver light and sped towards the Heavenly Court.

He wasn't running away; he was going to deliver a message.

However, how to report it and what to report are matters of great importance.

Someone has to take the blame for this crushing defeat. The surrender of 200,000 heavenly soldiers needs an explanation, so the blame definitely won't fall on Li Jing, since he was the one who surrendered.

Yang Jian refused to surrender and fought his way back, eventually escaping back!

Most importantly, with Li Jing gone from Heaven and the others incompetent, he will be in charge of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals next. When Shen Yi and his forces attack, he will lead the other Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to turn their attacks around, leaving the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother all alone.

Oh, and I should also mention the matter of "purging the court of corrupt officials." Whether the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother believe it or not, or even if they really did it, it will definitely create a rift between them.

Could it be true that Shen Yi said that?

A cold glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes; he also wanted to stab the Queen Mother to death with a three-pointed, double-edged sword, just like Nezha had done.
