Chapter 2780: Chapter 2779: Taking Turns on the Dragon Chair

Once the Witch Tribe Blood Scripture emerged, the Witch Tribe’s momentum instantly surged.

Originally, the enemies were throwing magical treasures everywhere, but as soon as the treasures touched the blood qi, they instantly lost their spirituality.

All the Demon Kings stared wide-eyed, not expecting the Witch Tribe to have such an against-the-heavens magical treasure.

With such great divine fate protection, even if the Demon Clan and Human Race hold the advantage, they cannot annihilate the Witch Tribe completely.

Incompatible looked at the Kunpeng Ancestor with frustration, saying, "If the Demon Master had acted early and taken down Jiufeng, these problems would not have occurred now."

Kunpeng Ancestor, with half-closed eyes and a deep expression, said, "What do you understand? Old man knows this point, which is why I won’t waste my effort. Witch-Demon fate is rising. If we, the Demon Clan alone, were to obliterate the Witch Tribe, that would truly be a joke."

Bai Ze asked, "What’s the meaning of the Demon Master?"

Kunpeng Ancestor replied, "Surround them on three sides, leaving one open, and let the Witch Tribe retreat to the Mortal Realm! Anyway, this Heavenly Court is already ours. Once we use its resources to strengthen ourselves, it’s never too late to confront the Witch Tribe again!"

Bai Ze and Incompatible exchanged a glance, thinking that the old fellow finally said something useful.

Bai Ze waved the command banner, creating a gap for the demon soldiers surrounding the Witch Tribe.

In an instant, the opportunity was seized by the Witch Tribe. The Witch Tribe’s army roared and rushed through the gap.

With the help of the Sorcery Book, the Solar Primordial Spirit couldn’t exert much influence, only continuously evaporating the blood qi over the Witch Tribe’s heads, emitting streams of harsh, steamy white smoke.

Xingtian, seeing the Sorcery Book’s massive energy, excitedly shouted to Jiufeng, "Ninth Sister, if this magical treasure is so powerful, why didn’t you bring it out earlier? Why not protect me, let me bring you to obliterate these demon clans!"

Jiufeng secretly passed a message to him, "The Sorcery Book consumes immense energy, I can’t sustain it for long, let’s speak in the Mortal Realm!"

Xingtian looked and noticed the virtual sweat already forming on Jiufeng’s forehead.

He nodded, praising repeatedly, and wielded an axe and a shield, jumping to the forefront, leading the Witch Tribe army to break out of the encirclement by Human Race and Demon Clan.

Li Jing brought the Human Race Soldiers and Generals, barely blocking the Witch Tribe’s advance, only to see the Demon Clan reveal a gap, allowing the entire Witch Tribe to escape.

Angrily, he confronted the demon clan leaders, asking them, "Now is the perfect time to wipe out the Witch Tribe, how could you let them escape?"

Bai Ze explained, "The Witch Tribe is powerful, if we continue, it will only result in mutual destruction. Let them go first, and when our supplies are ready, it’s never too late to find them."

Li Jing retorted, "Opportunities are hard to come by, where will there be another such good chance?"

Incompatible glared at him, reprimanding, "Show us some respect, what do you think you are, to dare issue commands to us?"

"I’m your ally, our interests are aligned! We discussed this before the battle."

Li Jing stood his ground.

Incompatible sneered, "An ally? You humans are nothing but air. From the First Layer of Heaven to the Thirty-Three Heavens, when have we not been at the forefront, while you Human Race have done nothing? A group of cunning, cowardly beings, you dare compare yourselves to us?"

Li Jing was left speechless, for indeed, in this battle, the Human Race did not contribute much.

The hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals he commanded were originally aristocratic descendants and famous sect disciples from the Mortal Realm, gold-plating in the Heavenly Court.

To make them risk their lives, unless their personal interests are threatened.

This time, they merely followed behind the Demon Clan, picking up the gains.

The Demon Clan took charge of the main attack, while the Human Race provided support.

Li Jing’s face reddened as he left, throwing a "Different paths, different strategies!" to Incompatible.

He had long known that cooperating with the Demon Clan was no different than negotiating with a tiger, but to drive away the Witch Tribe, he had to do so.

Now that the Witch Tribe has been driven from the Heavenly Court, he immediately went to the Heaven-Piercing Palatial Hall, and sent someone to find the Immortals working in the Heavenly Court.

After the names on the Investiture of the Gods were erased, the divine spirits in the Heavenly Court had mostly disappeared.

Only Taibai Venus remained committed to the Heavenly Court, while other immortals hid if they could, left if they wanted.

After searching everywhere, Li Jing found only Taibai Venus attending the court.

Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, holding the Golden Pagoda, stood awkwardly in the grand hall with Taibai Venus, saying, "Old Star Envoy, where have all the Immortals in the Heavenly Court gone? Why isn’t there a single Immortal on duty?"

Taibai Venus sighed, "People’s hearts are scattered, everyone is still watching, no one is stepping out at this time to contribute to the Heavenly Court."

Li Jing, feeling frustrated, said, "As Heavenly ministers, always considering one’s selfish interests, truly deserve to be punished."

Taibai Venus shrugged his neck and said, "Heavenly King, this time, you must properly organize the rules of the Heavenly Court."

Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King snorted lightly, "That’s certain. This time, I’m here to clear out the sycophants, definitely returning a clear and bright Heavenly Court."

He asked Taibai Venus, "Where is the Jade Emperor? Now that the Witch Tribe has been defeated, the Jade Emperor must come out to take charge!"

Taibai Venus hurriedly replied, "I just searched for the Jade Emperor, but he is nowhere to be found. A few days ago, the Jade Emperor went to find old lord. Probably hasn’t returned yet."

"Is that so?"

Li Jing felt a bit relieved, secretly thinking if the old lord intervened, surely he could end the current chaotic situation in the Heavenly Court.

As the two were talking, a group of Demon Kings walked in from outside.

Leading at the front were Incompatible and Bai Ze, followed by Kui Ox, Zi Tie, Jiu Ying, Gui Che, and Taowu.

Li Jing raised his hand to stop them, "The Heaven-Piercing Palatial Hall, without the Jade Emperor’s summons, how can you intrude?"

"You humans are truly annoying!"

Incompatible lifted his eyelids, and Kui Ox jumped out, towering over Li Jing, "How dare you! It’s just a broken house, why can’t we enter? If it weren’t for us helping to take this place, could you stand here talking to us?"

Li Jing, angry, raised the pagoda and said, "Don’t go too far!"

He hadn’t noticed, but Incompatible had already sat on the Jade Emperor’s throne.

The Little Peng King, Sun Wukong, Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, and others walked in, surprised at Incompatible, "How does the Jade Emperor’s throne feel?"

Incompatible laughed, "Ask Sun Wukong, he has sat here before."

Sun Wukong, appearing serious, said to them, "This seat is not easy to sit on; it’s burning hot."

The Little Peng King laughed, "I don’t believe it, let me try!"

He leaped up, and once Incompatible got up, he sat down, placing his hands on the dragon heads on either side.

Taibai Venus, stuttering, exclaimed, "The Jade Emperor’s throne, how dare you sully it!"

The Little Peng King glared at him and said gloomily, "Old man, take a good look, now it’s me sitting here. If the Jade Emperor can sit, so can I. He sat here for years without virtue and ability, now it’s our Demon Clan’s turn to sit!"

"True!"

The demons laughed, each going up to try.

The Dragon Chair’s comfort was indeed pleasing.

Taibai Venus, helpless, covered his eyes. Li Jing was so angry his beard quivered.
