Chapter 603: Chapter 419: Celestial Master Xu violates the heavenly rules, the Jade Emperor imposes heavenly punishment!_2
Fucking murder!
South Growth Heavenly King Mo Liqing was speechless for a while.
The Injustice Drum has been sounded, how can he eliminate the evidence now?
All he could do was to shout out, “Fourth brother, come and take this bastard to meet our Emperor… He actually wants to accuse Master Xu! It’s like an old man who lived long enough that he is bored of life. Remember, after he meets the Emperor, take him to me. I will personally send him to the Underworld Palace and break him into the eighteen layers of hell, where he will never be reincarnated forever.”
“???”
The Lord of the Huai River Ghost Market was stunned, he yelled, “No… honorable immortals, I won’t sue anymore. What about I go back to the mortal world, find a remote mountain to hide, won’t ever come out, is that okay?”
He turned around to run, but heard a cold laugh coming from, “You sounded the Injustice Drum and now want to run away? A single Ghost Immortal dares to come and accuse in heaven? In these eight hundred years, you are the first!”
Mo family’s fourth brother, “Northern Heavenly King Duowen” Mo Lihong unfolded his Primordial Pearl Umbrella and contained the Ghost Immortal inside, saying, “The Injustice Drum has not been sounded for eight hundred years. Today, a Ghost Immortal sounded it, I’m afraid it has caught the attention of the Emperor and all the immortal officials. I’ll take him to Lingxiao Palace to meet with the Emperor now.”
Mo Lihong transformed into an immortal light and flew towards Lingxiao Palace.
He stood outside the Lingxiao Palace, soon an immortal being dressed in Daoist Robe and holding cleansing brush came out, said, “Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you, please enter.”
“Thank you, Celestial Master Zhang.”
Mo Lihong saluted with a fist.
This Daoist is none other than Zhang Daoling, the Celestial Master Zhang, the first of the four Great Heavenly Masters in the Heavenly Master Mansion.
Even though the four Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Court have little real power, they are close servants of the Emperor. Most of the time, they work for the Emperor to do trivial things along with Venus Taibai.
Entering the Lingxiao Palace.
Mo Lihong noticed that both sides had been crowded with celestial officials, all of them looking excited. As a matter of fact, the ring of the Injustice Drum, unheard for eight hundred years, aroused their interest.
Mo Lihong could understand that.
After all, nothing interesting had happened in the heavenly court for hundreds of years. Everyone was becoming overly idle and bored to death. That’s why Master Xu resorted to using the “summoning immortals” technique to go to the mortal realm.
This indicated the importance assigned to Master Xu.
Secondly…
Everyone wanted to use this opportunity to descend to the mortal world and have a look.
“Greetings to the Emperor.”
Mo Lihong bowed.
In the Heavenly Court, everyone is an immortal official, hence it is not necessary to kneel down when seeing the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor, in a dragon robe of purple and golden color, and wearing a crown, casually asked, “Who rang the drum?”
Mo Lihong unfolded his Primordial Pearl Umbrella, releasing the Ghost Immortal.
The might of immortals coming from all directions made the legs of the Ghost Immortal weak, involuntarily kneeling down on the ground. He hastily kowtowed and cried, “My Emperor, you must help me, as the Lord of the Huai River Ghost Market in the mortal world…”
He narrated his encounters cryingly, wailing, “Just a few hours ago, the leaders of Maoshan, the ancestral master of Quanzhen Sect, the contemporary Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the sect leader of Wudang Sect attacked my Huai River Ghost Market, capturing three Ghost Immortals along with many experts… Luckily, I managed to run fast to escape disaster.”
“What?”
Zhang Daoling, who was initially interested in watching the commotion, stood up and rebuked, “Don’t talk nonsense, I might not know about the other Daoist sects, but Dragon Tiger Mountain follows my Daoist tradition, how could they attack the Huai River Ghost Market without reason?”
The Ghost Immortal paused, looked at Zhang Daoling and asked carefully, “Are you… Celestial Master Zhang?”
Zhang Daoling ignored him instead turned to the Heavenly Emperor and said, “Your Excellency, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter, the ghost market does not belong to the mortal realm or the underworld. My unworthy disciples should know about its uniqueness, they wouldn’t break the Heavenly Law without reason and attack the ghost market.”
Upon hearing that this man was Zhang Daoling, the Ghost Immortal, who was the ancestor of the current Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, changed the subject instantly, “This matter might not have been instigated by the four Divine Masters who attacked my Huai River Ghost Market, I have heard that all the ghost markets in Da Xia have fallen. This seems to be a plot staged by the Heavenly Master of Jingming Sect, the Sect Leader of Xishan Wanshou Palace, the Dean of Wu City Martial Arts Academy and Xu Yang, the Alliance Leader of the martial arts world in Da Xia.”
“Hm?”
Next to Zhang Daoling, Divine Master Miaoji, Xu Xun widened his eyes and pointed at the Ghost Immortal, “You Ghost Immortal, stop talking nonsense!”
“???”
Ghost Immortal was speechless, “And who are you?”
Xu Xun said, “I am the Grand Master Xu Xun of Jingming Sect.”
Ghost Immortal: “…”
The Heavenly Emperor, however, upon hearing that this event was planned by Xu Yang, unconsciously furrowed his brows.
The Heavenly Emperor naturally knew Xu Yang’s real identity.
So, when dealing with Xu Yang, he will still give necessary respect. Isn’t it just a few ghost markets in the mortal world? If they were taken, they were taken, it is just a trivial matter… Moreover, the rule that he himself had originally established, if he wanted to break it, it would not be a big deal.
However, considering that Xu Yang has not recovered his “past life memory” yet, and he violated the Heavenly Law and was sued by a Ghost Immortal who ran to the Heavenly Court to sound the “Injustice Drum”, he has to make a show of doing something, otherwise, where would the Heavenly Majesty be?
The Heavenly Emperor pondered for a moment and said lightly, “Master Xu has violated the celestial regulation and must be punished according to the law, Lord Thunder and Lightning Goddess!”
“Your servant is here!”
As the words of the Heavenly Emperor fell, Lord Thunder and the Lightning Goddess stood up from behind the Lingxiao Palace.
The Heavenly Emperor said, “You go to the Platform of Heavenly Punishment, bring down the heavenly punishment, and punish Xu Yang.”
“Huh?”
