Chapter 406 Are You Really Going to Fight With The Heavenly Courts?

On the second day of the Ancient Demon Court’s Crown Prince Lu Ya’s denunciation of the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were on standby at the five Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Courts. There was a tense aura everywhere.

A storm was brewing.

The Heavenly Soldiers stood in formation and the Heavenly Generals sharpened their sabers. Many officials of the Heavenly Courts rode the clouds.

The fairies in the Jade Pool gathered together and protected the surroundings of the Jade Pool. They also sent people to inform the Hall of Enlightenment. Although they were not part of the battle order of the Heavenly Courts, they could help at any time. At that moment, the wind in the sky and the ground were jittery. It looked like the battle would start tomorrow. In the Hall of Enlightenment, dozens of immortals and G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts gathered. There was a round table in the middle of the hall. There were eight thrones beside the round table. There were four rows of seats on both sides. The immortals and G.o.ds stood in front of the seats, waiting for a legitimate G.o.d to arrive.

Logically speaking, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother should be leaderless at that moment.

Moreover, the demons were powerful. The remaining experts of the ancient demons were gathered at the border of the North Continent. Their might was terrifying. In terms of the number of experts, the demons were indeed crus.h.i.+ng the Heavenly Courts.

However, the immortals did not panic. In fact…

He felt like laughing when he thought about what had happened in the Heavenly Courts previously. A Heavenly General at the door whispered, “The Water G.o.d is here!”

The immortals immediately stopped talking. General Dongmu, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Outside the door, the old immortal in a white robe, white hair, and white horsetail whisk rode a white cloud over. He was naturally Li Changshou, who was fis.h.i.+ng. As soon as he entered the Hall of Enlightenment, the immortals of the Heavenly Courts immediately gathered and surrounded him. General Dongmu did not know whether to laugh or cry. General Dongmu shouted, “Water G.o.d, you’re finally here!”

“These demons are so ferocious that they almost bit me!”

“Lord Water G.o.d? When are we going to attack the demons?”

“Everyone, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou raised his hand and pressed it down. The immortals immediately quietened down.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Everyone is an important minister of the Heavenly Courts. At this moment, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are not in the Heavenly Courts. We cannot panic. Now that the Heavenly Courts have just made some progress, everything was starting. There were more than a hundred thousand new Heavenly Soldiers that had yet to be trained. There are dozens of newly-advanced Heavenly Generals who have yet to learn how to battle.

The Crown Prince of the ancient Demon Court saw that the Heavenly Courts’ internal structure was weak. That’s why he was so fearless and brazenly defied the Heavenly Courts. If we organize the troops to fight the demons now, wouldn’t that be exactly what the demons want?” Half of the immortals were deep in thought, while the other half were puzzled. A G.o.d who was in charge of the Thunder Punishment Hall asked, “Water G.o.d, the demons have openly rebelled. Although our Heavenly Courts cannot be considered powerful, we have the power to suppress the demons. If the demons rebel and do not send troops, what will happen to the Heavenly Might? How can the righteous Dao of Heaven and Earth be maintained?”

“You’re wrong.” Li Changshou said warmly, “Although the Heavenly Courts can suppress the demons now, and there are many factions among the demons, the demon kings are not compatible, and it’s difficult to unite them. How much damage will the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals suffer if we suppress the demons now?”

As he spoke, Li Changshou walked forward.

The immortals followed closely behind and listened carefully, afraid that they would miss a word.

Li Changshou said, “If we send troops immediately, based on the fact that the demons are just a mob, how many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals will die? If too many Heavenly Soldiers die, the strength of the Heavenly Courts will be revealed in the world even if we successfully suppress the demons at the border of the North Continent. Everyone, in today’s world, humans are the main characters. The demons are just ancient defeated dogs. If we cannot suppress the demons with the power of lightning, it would the righteous path of the world. It would only make the immortals of the Middle Continent laugh at us. Moreover, if the ancient demons attack, we will suffer a defeat… The Heavenly Might is gone!”

The dozens of immortals in the Hall of Enlightenment nodded in agreement.

They felt that what the Water G.o.d said made sense.

The Heavenly Courts did not only have to win when they deployed their troops. They had to win beautifully. They had to obtain a complete victory before they could show their might.

The legitimate G.o.d who was in charge of the Thunder Punishment Hall cupped his hands and said, “I was rash and did not consider it carefully. Please punish me, Water G.o.d.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s all for the sake of the Heavenly Courts. Moreover, we are both ministers. How can there be any punishment?” General Dongmu sighed. “No matter what, the current strength of our Heavenly Courts is not enough to intimidate such small fries. Everyone, take a seat! Before the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother descended to the mortal world to undergo the tribulation, he had entrusted the matters of the Heavenly Courts to the Water G.o.d and me. Today, I gathered everyone to discuss how to deal with the demons.” At that moment, General Dongmu made an inviting gesture. The immortals and G.o.ds in the hall sat down.

General Dongmu and Li Changshou sat at the head of the round table in the middle. The Marshal who was guarding the Five-Element Heavenly Gate was beside them, but he had an empty seat.

General Dongmu looked at the empty seat and said, “Water G.o.d, why don’t we invite Princess Long Ji over?”

“General Dongmu.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “Although it’s reasonable to invite Her Highness Long Ji, I’m afraid…

Her Majesty doesn’t like Her Highness Long Ji to partic.i.p.ate in these matters.”

General Dongmu could not help but be shocked. He hurriedly said, “In the Water G.o.d’s opinion, please punish me.”

“Elder Moon, please take a seat.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I still have something important to do today. I need you to take action.”

IT Eh?

Elder Moon, who was in the corner of the Hall of Enlightenment, could not help but be stunned. What did the battle of the Heavenly Courts have to do with him?

However, with the Water G.o.d’s words, Elder Moon did not dare to delay. He immediately stood up and lowered his head. With some pressure, he sat at the end of the round table cautiously. The entire Hall of Enlightenment was colorful because of his bright red wedding robe. General Dongmu cleared his throat and entered the topic.

A Heavenly Courts general read the speech of the demons to the Heavenly Courts emotionlessly. The immortals and G.o.ds were indignant. General Dongmu smiled and asked, “Water G.o.d, how should we deal with it?” However, Li Changshou said, “This declaration is not bad. It can be said that he was in tears. He said that the Heavenly Courts bullied the good of the demons. The demons have already retreated and tolerated everything. Now, he can’t tolerate it any longer and announced that he does not respect the Heavenly Courts’ orders. However, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that there was nothing in the letter. It was rather shameless. It’s as if the demons were really following the Heavenly Courts’ orders.”

The immortals smiled. The atmosphere in the hall became much livelier.

General Dongmu smiled and said, “This demon is quite meticulous. He can get back at us like that.”

“Everyone, you have to be careful. The demons are now talking about resisting the heavens and not opposing the heavens,” Li Changshou said. “The other party has left behind some backup plans. The Demon Court’s Crown Prince Lu Ya and the ancient experts of the demons are the real trouble. However, what we have to do now is to send out an official statement.”

General Dongmu frowned and said, “Release the declaration? Are you going to respond to the demons’ declaration?”

“Let’s first occupy the righteous cause.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “We will not respond to any of the things written in the other party’s official statement. We will just go through the crimes of the remaining survivors of the ancient Demon Court. This matter does not involve the human race. Simply speaking, the ancient demons were bloodthirsty and killed all living beings. They did not know any better. They trained demonic soldiers, refined evil treasures, and squeezed the essence and spirits of the world.

They had ulterior motives. In the second declaration, it had to be pointed out that the Heavenly Courts was established by the Dao Ancestor and the Saints of the Dao Sect. Their purpose was to protect the people and maintain the operation of the Heavenly Dao. They were not to control the thousands of races. The ancient method is no longer feasible. All living beings have the right to choose if they are called demons.”

The immortals thought about it carefully. If they were smart enough, they would understand Li Changshou’s words after hearing them.
