Old dog, it's people like you who are crawling around and wasting a large amount of resources on my celestial court, dragging it down.
I, my celestial court, am dealing with the demon tribe. Yet, you old dog dare say that this has nothing to do with my Junchen department? Spit! I shall teach you a lesson. When demons attack my celestial court, everyone is involved. Qiming is thoroughly enraged.
Li Kuzhen watched as Ji Mi approached in a fit of rage and instinctively stepped back a few steps.
He is the Liturgical Priest of the Daoist Altar, and he would never resort to violence against Ji Mi.
"Pap!" The Immortal Lord struck the front of the immortal dragon wood in front of him, and Ji Mi finally stopped.
At this moment, a man of medium height and wearing purple clothes came out, bowed to the Emperor without Shang, and then slowly said:
"Your Majesty, the demon court has bullied our celestial court so severely this time; this matter cannot be tolerated. If we endure it now, there will be another next time. The demons are like a tiger that demands more and more, and they are untrainable."
Therefore, I agree with the words of General Ji Mi: this time, we must make the demon court understand that our celestial court loves peace but is not a place that can be oppressed by demons.
But this incident also occurred because of another thing. That is, we sent people to negotiate with the demon court firstly without courtesy and left, not even saying goodbye, which angered the demon court and prompted them to start the war in advance.
The celestial court has established the Nine Departments Law, which upholds fairness and justice, rewarding those who have done well and penalizing those who are wrong.
After saying this sentence, the purple-clad man stepped back.
In the celestial court, a silence fell. It was well-known that the leader of the negotiation at that time was Nu Wudu, the Duke of Duyue Star, one of the Ten Star Gods.
The Ten Star Gods are powerful figures in the celestial court. It is known that the celestial court once had eighteen star gods, but now it has become the Ten Star Gods. The power has only grown, not diminished.
Therefore, even if someone knows that the other person has committed a mistake, no one dares to confront them directly.
Come out.
Now someone has brought it up directly.
Moreover, even Nu Wudu, the Duke of Duyue Star, would not dare to retaliate against the person who directly points out his mistake, for he is one of the four great emperors, Lord Pingwei.
Nu Wudu is strong, but not strong enough to go head-to-head with Lord Pingwei.
Nu Wudu could only step forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was indeed handled improperly by me. It was just that there were extenuating circumstances at the time."
The Wu Chang Emperor's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent. If he had nothing to do at the moment, he would definitely kill Nu Wudu.
This guy ruined his big plan.
War with the demon court is inevitable. By sending people to negotiate, he was trying to hold off the demon court, at least to delay them for now.
Nu Wudu completely disregarded his words and completely disappointed him. Not only did he fail to delay the demon court, but he also gave the demon court an excuse to declare war early.
"Speak," Wu Chang Emperor said with only one word.
Nu Wudu instinctively shivered, knowing he had made a grave mistake.
Too bad he didn't get the soil below the Feng Po Ya. If he had, his strength would have improved even further, and he would not have been afraid of either Lord Pingwei or Wu Chang Emperor.
A single mistake leads to a chain of errors.
"Your Majesty, at the time, my son was coerced to the point of being willing to kill. I was worried and anxious..."
Luo Yu interrupted Wu Wudu's words, "If your son was killed, how can you neglect the safety of my celestial court? Do you deserve to be a celestial star?"
"I received the instruction of Pingwei Emperor, Your Majesty. At that time, I was indeed blinded by anger and shouldn't have taken such an action for my son…"
Nu Wudu's words were once again interrupted: "Nu Wudu, don't open your eyes and tell lies..."
Nu Wudu was greatly angered. As a celestial star, he couldn't do anything about it now. Someone else dared to interrupt him. Was he not aware that celestial stars weren't just vegetative beings?
However, as soon as Nu Wudu recognized the person who spoke up, his anger dissipated instantly.
The speaker was Pei Yishui, the Lord of the Northern Path. He is one of the Four Path Lords. What could he do?
"Your Majesty, Nu Wudu did not go to save his son. In fact, he didn't even care about his son's life or death. When he left the negotiations between the celestial and demonic courts, his purpose was to steal the soil beneath the Feng Po Ya site."
Pei Yishui's words truly caused a stir, and everyone perked up upon hearing the soil beneath Feng Po Ya.
Even Wu Chang Emperor was staring at Nu Wudu, for that thing would be useful to him now.
Nu Wudu's heart sank. He knew that he had missed the opportunity and had ultimately incurred trouble for himself.
He didn't know how Pei Yishui found out, but he must explain it clearly. Otherwise, even his status as a celestial star would not grant him peace of mind.
Nu Wudu could only say again, "Your Majesty, I indeed heard about the selection site of the Feng Bao Star and intended to acquire the soil."
As for the Feng Bo Ya matter, it was something I overheard when I went to save my son. At that time, my son had already been killed, and there was nothing I could do but suppress my anger and go after the killers.
On the way, I met one of my son's maids, who informed me about the selection of Feng Bo Ya.
But when I arrived, all the soil beneath the selection site of Feng Bo Ya had been dug up, and I didn't get anything."
While explaining, Nu Wudu was certain that Pei Yishui must have met the person he had been chasing.
Wu Chang Emperor, however, was not interested in asking further. He would inquire about the Feng Bao Ya soil matter separately with Nu Wudu after court was over.
Wu Chang Emperor loudly declared, "Nu Wudu, Duke of Duyue Star, neglected the important matter of the celestial and demonic negotiations and walked off on the spot, causing the demonic army to invade our celestial court and causing numerous casualties. Take Nu Wudu away and handle this matter in another way."
Nu Wudu's eyes were red with anger. He could only watch helplessly as two celestial court guards took him away.
He is indeed a celestial emperor, but he dare not resist in the celestial court.
Wu Chang Emperor continued, "Ji Mi, I appoint you as the commander of both armies. You will be given the Great Emperor's Sword. Control the armies of Jia Cheng and Ding Zhen, with a total of one million soldiers. Counterattack the demonic court. In all matters, cooperate fully with the celestial counselor, Buxue."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Ji Mi will surely drive the demons away and restore clarity to our celestial court. Let the demonic court know that our celestial court is not a place where they can come and go as they please." Ji Mi, overjoyed, went forward and said.
Buxue also hurried forward: "Left Ming will certainly cooperate fully with the military affairs of General Ji Mi."
Wu Chang Emperor nodded, then continued, "Now let's talk about the second thing. The time for our celestial court to gather celestial rice has come, but so far, there hasn't been any news. Where is the leader of the celestial farmer's guild? "
A middle-aged man walked out, and from his aura and appearance, it was clear that he had not been doing well.
The leader of the Celestial Farmer's Guild, Chu Xingren, greets the Emperor. May the Emperor be in good health.
This time, the Celestial Farmer's Guild is to collect the harvest. All of the celestial rice in the Celestial Farmer's Guild has been affected, and we have already investigated the cause and found that there are problems with the crops.
An official named Lu Renjia, he arbitrarily used forbidden techniques to cultivate celestial rice.
"Pap!" Wu Chang Emperor slapped his hand down on the celestial throne table in front of him.
"Chu Xingren, that is your excuse? Can you just blame a small celestial cultivator like Lu Renjia to cover up the entire year's celestial rice loss?"
Wu Chang Emperor was truly enraged. He could have overlooked the past years, but this year he equally urgently needed celestial rice.
The result is that he had only been in seclusion for a short period of time before problems started to pile up one after another.
The Duke of Duyue Star, who had been sent to negotiate with the demon court, completely neglected the interests of the celestial court for personal matters.
Chu Xingren, who planted celestial rice, was just as useless and unqualified for his position. He wanted to blame an innocent person for his mistakes. This behavior is unforgivable.
Hold on, the person he is blaming is called what? A random passerby named Lu Renjia.
Wu Chang Emperor was nearly seizing blood in his mouth, did you just pick any passerby to take the blame? Didn't you even bother to give him a name?
"Even a 'Random Passerby'—that's great, truly great."
It seems that your Majesty's hand is too soft, unable to punish you.
Buxue stepped forward in time:
"Your Majesty, such an imbecile remaining in the Celestial Farmer's Guild as its flag leader would be the greatest harm to our celestial court. The old minister suggests that this person be thrown into the dungeon for a thorough interrogation..."
Chu Xingren involuntarily shuddered, this was a death sentence for his position. Without realizing it, he looked at the Jinyue Emperor.
He is under the protection of Jinyue Emperor. Jinyue Emperor should quickly step forward to speak up.
To his disappointment, Jinyue Emperor seemed to have not noticed him at all, showing no reaction.
Just as Chu Xingren was anxiously waiting, his communication bead suddenly lit up.
Upon seeing one of the messages, Chu Xingren was overjoyed.
Without waiting for him to speak, Wu Chang Emperor sighed and said, "Where are the celestial court guards?"
Chu Xingren didn't hesitate to quickly exclaim, "Your Majesty, the Celestial Farmer's Guild has made every effort to rectify the issue of celestial rice damage. We..."
Finally, within a month, we have cultivated top-quality medium-grade celestial rice.
Wu Chang Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Did you say that top-quality, medium-grade celestial rice has been cultivated?"
At this moment, Chu Xingren could only trust his subordinates: "Yes, Your Majesty, please trust the report. It is not only top-quality medium-grade celestial rice but also contains one high-grade celestial rice kernel."
Wu Chang Emperor waved away the celestial court guards, fixing his gaze on Chu Xingren and saying, "Send someone to bring the celestial rice here immediately."
"Yes." Chu Xingren quickly sent a message, this was his only chance.
The Jinyue Emperor in the background did not care for him either, so what could he do? He could only rely on the celestial rice to protect himself first and then think about other ways.
Buxue furrowed his brow. He had already calculated the position of the Celestial Farmer's Guild's flag leader.
His daughter-in-law had investigated the Celestial Farmer's Guild very thoroughly, and it was impossible for them to grow celestial rice again. How could this be reversed now?
Due to Chu Xingren's urgent request, it took only a dozen or so breaths of time for the two men to appear in the Celestial Court Hall. They had arrived through teleportation symbols.
"The officer of the Celestial Farmer's Guild, Shen Guan, and the guardian officer, Ji Ti, of the Celestial Farmer's Guild, pay their respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be in eternal health." The two men arrived at the hall and quickly knelt to the ground.
Their positions were too low, and they could only speak while kneeling before the Celestial Court Hall.
"Rise. Present the celestial rice immediately." Wu Chang Emperor's mind was completely focused on the celestial rice.
There was no room in his mind for anything else.
Ji Ti quickly took out three baskets and handed them to the nearby servant.
Everyone's attention and spiritual presence were now focused on the contents of the three baskets.
Is this medium-grade celestial rice?
The color is indeed green, but the clear five-element rules, the rich aroma of rice fields, and even the faint aura of daoist teachings are all evident. This would be considered a high-quality celestial rice without a doubt.
