Old Zhu hurriedly arrived at the general's mansion, bursting in and yelling: "Ha ha ha! General, good news! Good news! The young man suffered defeat and returned in defeat!"
Lei Zhenzi is handsome, radical in his actions, and holds a high celestial rank. As you came to the heavenly court to be a celestial soldier and a cannon fodder, he directly became the Celestial Emperor, naturally attracting numerous criticisms. This "youngling" is the derisive nickname many elderly court officials call him.
Phoenix pushed the door out of the pass, she did not walk in incense God road, but free incense can not be wasted, every now and then, she will refine the incense into magic power. At this time, this kind of seclusion is more like having lunch at the canteen in the middle of the day - eat if you don't.
She looked serious: "Do not revel in another's misfortune. Speak up, what has happened to Gou Chen the God?"
Old Zhu couldn't stop smiling, explaining excitedly.
Phoenix is not out of touch, on the contrary, her information channels far exceed imagination. It's just that Old Zhu likes to show off at this time, and she pretends not to know to match it.
"Oh, so that's the case?"
"Oh, Gou Chen the God is really impulsive."
"But that's not his fault. He was suddenly promoted to a high position, still lacking experience."
Phoenix delivered a series of interjections, quickly seeing off Old Zhu, who came to report the news.
Phoenix was also secretly calculating and thinking about the impact this incident had on herself.
Soon, the bell of Ling Xiao Treasured Hall rang throughout the heavenly court. Various gods hurriedly changed into their imperial robes and went to discuss affairs.
Phoenix, the Heavenly General of Tian PENG, was originally the top person in the military officer ranks, but now she had fallen to third place, behind Lei Zhenzi and Wen Zhong.
Simply speaking about official positions, she and Wen Zhong are of the same level. However, Wen Zhong is employed in the South Heavenly Gate and theoretically serves under the Supreme Emperor of the South Pole. He often leads the thunderous gods to perform punishments on behalf of heaven.
When Gong Gong crashed the Buzhou Mountain, the heavenly court began to pour southwards. Sun Wukong would often go through the South Heavenly Gate because it was the closest to the mortal world. He didn't want to take a long detour, so the heavenly court deployed the most troops at the South Heavenly Gate, and its position was even more critical.
The North Heavenly Gate is mainly responsible for dealing with the northern demon tribes. Even if they had ten braves, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the heavenly court.
The official positions at the South Heavenly Gate are more important than those at the North Heavenly Gate, so Wen Zhong's ranking is higher.
Phoenix's old comrade, the White-Haired Golden Star, had also slipped two places and was now in third place among the literary officer ranks. In front were Tortoise Spiritual Mother and Ruan Deng. Behind him was Wenchuang, the Star of Literature. The old man was sandwiched in the middle.
The ranks of civil and military officers are quite interesting. They are a mix of disciples from the Clarification School and the Cutoff School, along with a host of senior officials, creating a main theme of chaos.
This incident was caused by Ruan Deng. As the Supreme Deity of the Mystic Temple, he is responsible for the world's wealth. The heavenly court has Tianyuan, and the underworld has Momi money. There are various copper coins, silver and gold in the mortal world. However, there is a lack of a genuine Pre-Eternal Treasure to suppress the wealth fortune of the three realms.
The currencies in the three realms have been in operation for such a long time that their continued use isn't actually necessary. It's just that it doesn't demonstrate the heavenly court's authority over the three realms. You say you manage the wealth of the world, but what evidence do you have for that?
The treasure Ruan Deng thought of was the supreme Pre-Eternal Treasure, Luobao Jinqi. It just so happens that the former owner of Luobao Jinqi, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, were under his command.
Now Luobao Jinqi was in Kunpeng's hands, and Lei Zhenzi, after becoming the Emperor of Gou Chen, had a teenage boy suddenly rise to power. The gods were all flattering him, and Hou Tian also intended to tolerate him. Now it's clear that he's become arrogant, but he hasn't been reckless enough to challenge Kunpeng himself. He still knows how to calculate things.
He led numerous heavenly soldiers and generals, laid out the heavenly net and earthly web, attempting to trap Kunpeng. At the same time, he ordered Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to return to Wuyi Mountain, where the Luobao Jinqi had once appeared, to set up an array in order to recapture this supreme Pre-Eternal Treasure.
The plan was good, and Ruan Deng participated in the entire operation. He thought that ten thousand heavenly soldiers should be able to trap Kunpeng. In fact, he underestimated the capabilities of Kunpeng. Even if Kunpeng loses Kuandao Sage, this "top ten in the Tiansha Palace" is still stronger than Ruan Deng's peak at any time in the past.
The Luobao Jinqi was not captured, and many soldiers and generals were killed. The heavenly court's reputation took a big hit.
As soon as the story was over, Mei Bo stepped forward from the civil officers side: "Your Majesty, Emperor Gou Chen rashly launched an army, damaging the prestige of the heavenly court. This action is unwise, and he should be punished to deter others!"
This incident was truly not arranged by Phoenix. Mei Bo is just like that. He dares to criticize even the mistakes of the heavens, let alone just one Lei Zhenzi. Even Deng Chanyu, who used to boast about being "eager to accept criticism," suffered a lot of hardships in the past.
No one spoke up, and the Lingshao Treasured Hall was quiet. Lei Zhenzi could only step forward: "The subject has sinned. Please forgive him."
The Emperor of Heaven fined him a month's salary, and the matter was lightly passed over.
The Emperor of Heaven looked at the other deities: "Kunpeng is an ancient demon teacher, with fierce flames all over. He has long been disobedient to the heavenly court's jurisdiction. Now he has killed so many heavenly soldiers, what can be endured and what cannot be endured. What are your wise suggestions on how to capture this beast?"
Regardless of what happened before, Kunpeng killed many heavenly soldiers this time, which is a violation of the heavenly code. For the sake of the heavenly court's dignity, it is necessary to wage war against Kunpeng again. The Luobao Jinqi is no longer important now.
The White-Haired Golden Star, Phoenix, and the others watched their noses, focused on their hearts, and kept silent. This matter has nothing to do with them, the old ministers.
Wen Zhong stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, I found some part of the array diagram of the Zhou Tian Xingdou Dadi during my visit to the Wanfa Ge. I am willing to take on this task and lead the army to set up a large array, capturing Kunpeng."
The heavenly court has a Wanfa Hall, which is said to have collected various wonderful laws of the Honghuan world.
After rapidly advancing one's cultivation with the help of incense offerings, one can then go to the Wanfa Hall to train in various kinds of incantations, formulas, and arrays. Fairly speaking, the myriad incantations collected by the heavenly court are quite good. Even though they cannot match the great techniques of the saints and great teachings, they are only one level behind. For many immortals who do not have a Saint as their teacher, these knowledge are absolutely invaluable.
It's not unexpected that the Wanfa Hall has some part of the array diagram of the Zhou Tian Xingdou Dadi. After all, there were many demons who participated in this large array back then.
The Emperor of Heaven stroked his beard and said nothing, feeling somewhat displeased. If he were to use the array laws of the previous dynasty now, it would appear that he, the supreme ruler of the three realms, was quite incompetent.
However, there is some truth in what Wen Zhong said. Many heavenly soldiers and generals were once ordinary people, at most with some heritage from the left path or peripheral school. Could they become war gods simply by coming to the heavenly court? That is certainly not possible. The gap between them and Kunpeng is immeasurable. Relying on arrays, relying on the super-large Zhou Tian Xingdou array, and pooling the power of all immortals to capture Kunpeng is also a viable method.
Even if they can't catch him, as long as they can hold him for a while, the heavenly court's face will be saved.
The Emperor of Heaven did not speak up, but Lei Zhenzi did.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that there was a branch of the Wuyue race that fell to the underworld. Kunpeng is a demon teacher, and the enmity between the Wuyue and demon races is as deep as the sea. Perhaps we can gather some Wuyue warriors to assist the heavenly court in capturing Kunpeng."
The Emperor of Heaven still did not speak, and Wen Zhong, who was very typical of the Cutoff School, wanted to set up a large array. Lei Zhenzi was using the old tactics of the Clarification School - if you can't beat them, then recruit reinforcements!
