Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Chapter 56 With Li Tianwang taking action, victory is assured!

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had already received a hint from Guanyin Bodhisattva.

They knew that the monkey who caused trouble in the Dragon Palace and the Underworld was the chosen one for the Journey to the West calamity.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's intention was to make Sun Wukong cause trouble with the Heavenly Court, the bigger the trouble, the better!

This way, Western Buddhism can better guide and convert Sun Wukong in the future...

Having received the order from Guanyin Bodhisattva, Li Jing immediately spoke up!

"Your Majesty, the monstrous monkey demon of the mortal realm is incredibly audacious, utterly ignorant of destiny and failing to cultivate any merit!"

"Our Heavenly Court will certainly send troops to capture the demon monkey!!!"

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, the Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Li Jing really does carry out Guanyin Bodhisattva's orders perfectly!"

But you, Li Jing, are unaware that your actions have fallen right into my nephew's trap.

The Jade Emperor and Li Xuancang exchanged a glance, having thought of this.

Seeing this, Li Jing became even more anxious. Could it be that His Majesty wanted Li Xuancang to send troops to capture the demon monkey?

Isn't this stealing my credit?!

How can this be allowed?!

Taibai Jinxing, who sits beside the Jade Emperor, is a close advisor to the Jade Emperor and naturally knows what his Majesty desires...

Then Venus spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Your Majesty, I hereby report..."

"Your Majesty is the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms, ruling over the primordial Three Realms."

"All living beings in these primordial realms are Your Majesty's subjects."

"The same goes for the demon monkey Sun Wukong. Although he stormed the Dragon Palace and the Underworld, he was still quite capable."

"It would be better if our Heavenly Court sent an envoy to offer them amnesty."

"In this way, His Majesty's divine might and boundless compassion for all things will be evident!"

In fact, Venus said those words on purpose.

Because Li Jing had received orders from Guanyin Bodhisattva, he naturally did not want the Heavenly Court to recruit Sun Wukong. After hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, he would definitely oppose it with all his might.

The Jade Emperor simply needed to go along with it: since Li Jing wanted to capture the demon monkey, then so be it!

If you get beaten up by the monkeys, that'll be a disgrace for you, Li Jing!

As soon as Venus finished speaking, the Jade Emperor showed a thoughtful expression.

The disciples of the Jie Sect, seeing this scene, all remained indifferent and unconcerned.

Anyway, he's just a monkey demon, he has nothing to do with our Jie Sect, you guys do your thing.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor was deep in thought, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, hurriedly spoke up again!

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!!!"

"As Taibai Jinxing just said, Your Majesty rules over the three realms of the primordial world. In that case, the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas and the Underworld are also under Your Majesty's rule."

"That demonic monkey stormed the Dragon Palace and the Underworld! This is clearly an act of disrespect for Heaven's authority! Disrespect for His Majesty!!!"

"If our Heavenly Court were to recruit this disrespectful and unruly monkey into Heaven, where would Heavenly authority be? Where would His Majesty's dignity be?"

"In my opinion, we must send heavenly soldiers and generals to capture this demonic monkey and escort him to the Execution Platform to uphold the majesty of Heaven!!!"

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, spoke with great force and conviction.

His words were all about upholding the authority of the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor.

He completely portrayed himself as a loyal subject of the Heavenly Court, devoted to the Jade Emperor.

Meanwhile, Li Xuancang was barely suppressing his laughter...

Who in Heaven doesn't know what kind of person Li Jing is?

Apart from Nezha, which of the Four Heavenly Kings or the Giant Spirit God could be a match for Sun Wukong?

Go find Sun Wukong, and you'll definitely get beaten up!

The Jade Emperor, barely suppressing a laugh, glanced at Venus beside him.

It seems to mean...

Taibai, look at Li Jing, he's actually taken the bait!

So the Jade Emperor pretended to think for a while, then slammed his fist on the table.

boom! ! !

"What King Li said is exactly what I think!"

"This mortal demon monkey disrespects the might of Heaven and should be captured!"

"In that case... Li Jing, obey my command!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing immediately perked up and hurriedly clasped his hands together.

"Your Majesty, I am here!!!"

The Jade Emperor looked intently at Li Jing, clearly indicating that he was entrusting him with an important task.

"Order Grand Marshal Li Jing of the Heavenly Court to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal realm to capture the demon monkey!!!"

"I obey the decree!!!"

Seeing that the Jade Emperor had agreed to his opinion, Li Jing even glanced at Taibai Jinxing with a hint of smugness.

It seems to be saying, "Even Venus isn't exactly favored, is she?"

Taibai Jinxing was also surprised that Li Jing would look at him with such an expression.

My mind couldn't help but think...

Holy crap... idiot!!!

Now that the matter has been settled, the next step is to discuss some details regarding the deployment of troops.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, directly appointed Nezha, along with the Four Heavenly Kings and the Giant Spirit God, as military commanders, but made no mention of Li Xuancang, the deputy marshal of the Heavenly Army.

The disciples of the Jie Sect standing nearby were somewhat displeased...

Capturing demons in the mortal realm is a rewarding task.

My senior brother is the deputy marshal of the Heavenly Army. How could such a military expedition be conducted without a deputy marshal?!

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, immediately glared angrily at Li Jing.

"Li Jing! How dare you target my senior brother?!"

"Our Heavenly Court has dispatched 100,000 troops to descend to the mortal realm to subdue demons. My senior brother is the Deputy Marshal of the Heavenly Court's army; how can he not go?!"

Why don't you mention my senior brother?!

Li Jing naturally didn't want Li Xuancang to go, since having more people meant more credit.

Although Sun Wukong was the chosen one in the Journey to the West, he was still just a Taiyi Golden Immortal. No matter how powerful he was, could he defeat 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals?!

Therefore, in Li Jing's mind, this was a chance to gain credit for nothing, and he naturally didn't want Li Xuancang to get involved.

I must claim all the credit for this!

So Li Jing immediately spoke up...

"The reason I didn't mention the deputy marshal is because I have my own reasons."

"The deputy marshal's 100,000-strong army has just been established, and he is overwhelmed with numerous affairs..."

"Furthermore, since I have descended to the mortal realm to subdue demons, there are naturally many military matters in the Heavenly Court that need to be handled by someone."

"The Vice Marshal can conveniently handle many affairs in Heaven."

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"Holy shit!!!"

The gold brick slipped from his sleeve, giving the impression that he was about to fight Li Jing again.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing hurriedly took a step back...

There was no other way but to retreat; we were no match for Zhao Gongming!

Just as Zhao Gongming was about to make a move, he was stopped by Li Xuancang.

Li Jing's refusal to let Li Xuancang go was exactly what Li Xuancang wanted.

Li Xuancang had even thought that if Li Jing asked him to go, he would have to find a way to refuse.

After all, if I go, Goku definitely won't fight me.

So Li Xuancang hurriedly stopped the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming…

"Junior brother, what King Li said is not wrong. My army has just been formed and is indeed very busy."
