Chapter 2781: Chapter 2780: Untamed and Defiant

These Demon Clan members show no respect for the Jade Emperor.

They repeatedly take turns sitting on the Dragon Chair, seemingly to demonstrate defiance toward Li Jing.

Bai Ze sat on it and patted the dragon’s head with a sigh, "Back then, this Dragon Chair belonged to our Demon Emperor. When I was at the Solar God Temple, it always surrounded him. The Demon Emperor and the Solar God Temple have been scattered for years; it’s time to return everything to our Demon Clan."

The Kui Ox shouted, "Then let’s rescue the Young Emperor and make him sit on this Dragon Chair."

The Incompatible shook its head and said, "The Young Emperor said that the timing isn’t right, and he can’t come out yet."

The Kui Ox glared at Li Jing with a temper and said, "This is all the fault of you humans!"

"You unrighteous demons, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Li Jing summoned the pagoda, intending to trap the Kui Ox under it.

The Incompatible raised its hand and easily slapped Li Jing’s pagoda away.

In front of him, this magical treasure forged by Ancient Buddha Dipankara is indeed of little use.

Li Jing drew out the longsword at his waist, ready to fight these demons to the death.

Taibai Venus quickly stopped him and softly advised, "Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, patience brings calmness!"

"Just you wait!"

Li Jing glared angrily at the demons before leaving the main hall, pulled away by Taibai Venus.

The demons laughed disdainfully and began discussing their plans together.

Outside the main hall, Li Jing walked briskly, with Taibai Venus chasing after him, asking, "Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, where are you going?"

Li Jing said indignantly, "I want to seek help from Zhen Yuanzi to restore the Human Race’s prestige."

Taibai Venus reminded him, "Zhen Yuanzi is Sun Wukong’s sworn brother and dwells in the mortal realm. It’s been a long time since the Heavenly King has seen Grand Immortal Master Zhen Yuanzi personally take action, hasn’t it?"

"This..."

Li Jing furrowed his brow, realizing he truly was being a bit hasty.

Grand Immortal Master Zhen Yuanzi is a Quasi-Saint in the mortal realm, of noble status. Why would he personally intervene in this power struggle?

Taibai Venus sighed, "Actually, neither the Witch Tribe nor the Demon Clan would truly support a Human Emperor out of sincere loyalty. Their actions are just to use the power of the Heavenly Court for their own purposes. In my observation, the Demon Clan is even more unmethodical than the Witch Tribe. In the Ancient Era, the Human Race and the Witch Tribe had cooperated after all. The Demon Clan has always been a mortal enemy of the Human Race."

Li Jing regretted somewhat, initially thinking that by joining forces with these demons to drive away the Witch Tribe, the Jade Emperor would then regain control.

But now, seeing that the Demon Clan is arrogant and not respecting the Jade Emperor at all makes them even more despicable than the Witch Tribe.

He asked Taibai Venus for advice, "I dare to ask, does the Star Lord have any good strategies?"

Taibai Venus looked around before discreetly advising Li Jing, "The Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King might as well meet with the Eastern Emperor; he will surely have a good strategy."

"Him?"

Li Jing hesitated, really not wanting to bow down to Long Fei.

Back in the day, he led an army to attack Liangshan Island and had a grudge with it.

Moreover, he thought Long Fei wasn’t an easy one.

As he was pondering, numerous Celestial Realm fairies came running this way, screaming in fright.

Li Jing stopped one and demanded, "What happened?"

The fairy screamed in fear, "The Demon Clan is eating people! They are plundering and murdering everywhere in the Heavenly Palace; many of our sisters have been eaten by them!"

"Outrageous!"

Li Jing, together with Taibai Venus, went to the Human Race’s camp and urgently called to the generals, "The Demon Clan is rebelling, hurry and follow me to suppress this demon rebellion!"

The generals exchanged looks, pointing at the Demon Clan camps all around and said to Li Jing, "Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, we are already surrounded by the Demon Army. If we act rashly now, the hundred thousand demon soldiers would all attack."

Li Jing glanced around, realizing that the Demon Clan had already made preparations to surround them.

He angrily said to the generals, "Cowards afraid of death, will you let the Demon Clan plunder the Heavenly Court?"

The generals all looked embarrassed and said, "General Li, please don’t make it hard for us. Can’t you see, the Demon Clan is strong and hasn’t been putting us in their eyes for a long time now."

"Yes, General Li. To be honest, we shouldn’t have cooperated with the Demon Clan in the first place. Now that they are strong and numerous, even if the Witch Tribe is driven away, we cannot control this Heavenly Court!"

"Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, you should bear with it and wait for the Jade Emperor to step in to see how he handles this matter."

"..."

None of the generals supported Li Jing, rather they all urged him to endure.

Li Jing was enraged, stomping his foot, and brandishing his longsword shouted, "If you won’t go, then I’ll fight them alone!"

He turned to leave, startling the generals who quickly stopped him.

Taibai Venus also urged anxiously on the side, "Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, please listen to me and go seek assistance from the Eastern Emperor. If the demon soldiers cause trouble in the Peach Garden or the Yaochi, it will be over."

Li Jing calmed down, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat.

If the demon soldiers he brought up caused havoc in Yaochi, causing the Heavenly Empress Mother to get angry, he would be the main culprit.

Upon hearing about the Eastern Emperor, some generals began to persuade, "Yes, yes, Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, quickly seek help from the Eastern Emperor. He is the Demon Clan’s Emperor, the most suitable person to manage the Demon Clan."

Li Jing gripped the longsword in his hand and commanded the generals, "Go immediately to the Yaochi and Peach Garden to guard them and wait for me. If the Demon Clan dares to cause trouble, you must hold them back. If Yaochi and Peach Garden suffer, and I cannot bear the responsibility, neither can you escape it."

The generals looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

As long as a big figure stands up, they could confront the Demon Clan for a while.

After Li Jing left, Taibai Venus quickly led the soldiers to Yaochi and the Peach Garden.

If anything happened to these two places, life in the future wouldn’t be easy.

On Liangshan Island, everyone had drunk throughout the night, drunkenly falling asleep.

Long Fei wasn’t drunk but pretended to be, lying with Chu Feng and the others.

After Li Jing descended to Liangshan Island, he hurriedly asked the gatekeeping disciples to announce him.

The group began to stir and got up, with the central bonfire burning out, and many disciples sat in meditation after eating Zhulong meat.

Long Fei rubbed his head, secretly looking at Lin Yingying, instructing the disciples to arrange for Li Jing to meet in the reception hall.

Li Jing was led into the hall, unable to sit or stand, anxiously wringing his hands.

Soon, Long Fei’s voice came from outside, "What wind blew the Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King here?"

He entered and took the main seat.

A disciple immediately came in to pour him tea.

Li Jing anxiously cupped his hands in supplication to Long Fei, "The Celestial Realm is in difficulty; I beg you, Emperor, to lend your aid!"

Long Fei sipped his tea, unhurried and calm, "I heard you led the Demon Clan to attack the Heavenly Palace? So, the Heavenly Palace was conquered?"

Li Jing blushed, "The Heavenly Palace was conquered, and the Witch Tribe has fled. But the Demon Clan is powerful and ignores the rules of the Heavenly Palace. They let their subordinates plunder and slaughter everywhere, and the Heavenly Palace is about to be destroyed."
