Stephen was a little confused.

She really didn't understand what Shachen meant by these words.

Can just one Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King split up the entire heaven?

You are overestimating the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and underestimating the entire heaven.

Sha Chen seemed to see through her disbelief and explained with a smile, "The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is, after all, a great general of the Heavenly Court. He's trusted by the Jade Emperor and is often sent to subdue demons and monsters. He's practically become a symbol of the Heavenly Court."

"But now he's been implicated in Nezha's case, and is facing execution. If he really dies, the moral principles of Heaven will be untenable."

"If he is rescued, the Heavenly Court will also be in jeopardy. Even if he is rescued by us, some people in the Heavenly Court will panic and become suspicious of the Jade Emperor. To protect themselves, they will also begin to distance themselves from the Jade Emperor."

Stephen was such a smart man. He had lived for countless years and had great experience.

He immediately understood what Shachen meant and showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

Si Ti said, "In other words, the Jade Emperor is now in a difficult position to kill the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. This is a foolish move. Whether he kills him or not, it will cause disunity among his ministers."

Sha Chen said, "It can be said that if he kills Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, it will chill the hearts of those meritorious officials and make the Three Realms look down on him."

"If he doesn't kill Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, it will embarrass him a bit, but it won't be a big deal. If he fails to kill Li Jing and we rescue him, not only will his dignity be shattered, but his credibility will also be completely destroyed."

Si Ti nodded and said, "If that's the case, then the Jade Emperor is now in a difficult position. There is only one option that can minimize his losses, and that is to release Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King."

Shachen laughed again and said, "Although this method is good, it is also the most difficult to implement. I once followed the Jade Emperor for a period of time and I know him quite well. He is a man who cares a lot about face."

"The emperor's pride is beyond everyone's imagination. In some places, they are even willing to damage the interests of the entire country for their own face, and even sacrifice their country, their property, and their lives."

"Although the Jade Emperor hasn't reached that point yet, he still wants to save face. It's unlikely that he'll let go of his pride and release the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King directly."

Stephen said, "That means he can only hold on to the end."

Sha Chen said, "That's possible, but the more likely scenario is that he's using this incident to set an ambush and capture all the people trying to break into the prison. This way, he can maximize his profits."

After all, there is still a possibility of an ambush, which means that Nezha and his group are likely to encounter trouble.

Steve's expression changed, he couldn't believe it and was extremely shocked.

"If that's the case, why did you let them go? Isn't that just asking them to die?"

Shachen said: "I told you, this is the path they chose themselves."

Afterwards, he said no more and took out the resources brought back by Madam Diyong to continue practicing. This amount of resources was not enough for him to practice for a long time, but it was better than nothing.

He spends most of his time studying space. As long as his spatial power reaches the state of great perfection, his strength will surpass that of the Bodhisattva Cundi.

Right now.

Nezha and his companions had also arrived at the Heavenly Palace and began to inquire about the news. They found that Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had not been executed immediately.

Instead, he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and waited.

Because Nezha had the Six-Eared Macaque with him, he was able to remain calm and did not act impulsively to rob the Heavenly Prison.

Instead, he planned to wait for the right opportunity, hoping that the Jade Emperor would show mercy and release the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

However, after waiting for a long time, the Jade Emperor still showed no intention of releasing the person.

The six-eared macaque had also heard the sound of the Golden-winged Dapeng and others coming here, and he also heard Red Boy calling his name in secret.

So he brought Nezha and reunited with these people, found a place to hide in the Heavenly Palace, and waited for the opportunity to take action.

About half a month passed.

The Jade Emperor finally issued an order to behead the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and he had already been pressed onto the Execution Platform, to be executed personally by Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng had killed the Dragon King of Jinghe River not long ago, so killing the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was a piece of cake for him.

However, he also knew that this time's Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was somewhat different from the previous Jinghe Dragon King.

Today, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is very famous in the three realms of gods, humans and demons, but he was executed by the Jade Emperor only because his son helped the demons.

However, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, did not help the demons. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not even lead troops to fight. He has been unemployed for many years.

Despite this, he was still beheaded by the Jade Emperor, which can be said to be a punishment without any instruction.

However, the Jade Emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed. As a representative of mortals, Wei Zheng had to obey the order to kill the immortals.

On the Immortal Execution Platform, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was kneeling, and Wei Zheng was just standing beside him holding a sword, not saying a word.

The person who supervised the execution of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was Jiang Ziya, but there were a lot of people watching, and most of them were the colleagues of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing and his long-time friends.

Yin Shiniang and Yunlou Fairy also came. They were the wife and daughter of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. They had run around a lot and tried every possible means during this period, but to no avail.

The Jade Emperor was determined to kill Li Jing, and they could only shed tears and could not change anything.

But today they have to witness with their own eyes that Li Jing is about to be beheaded by Wei Zheng, and they can do nothing about it.

The Jade Emperor did not appear. Jiang Ziya looked at the time and felt that it was about time, so he issued the execution order.

Wei Zheng picked up the token, raised his knife and prepared to attack without saying a word.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard, "How dare a mere mortal kill my father? Take my bullet!"

That was the wind-fire wheel that the third prince Nezha rode on. It flew from a distance, and the fire spear in his hand had already stabbed out from a long distance.

A red light suddenly flew over and killed Wei Zheng.

At the same time, Wei Zheng, who had already reached the highest position in the mortal world, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes became dull, and his physical condition deteriorated rapidly.

Emperor Taizong of Tang even went to pay his respects in person, but even Wei Zheng was speechless. Moreover, his spirit in heaven had been dispersed, his throne shattered, and he had no memory of anything that happened in heaven.

When everyone saw Nezha coming out to rescue Li Jing, they suddenly became nervous and their faces changed.

Li Jing, kneeling on the Immortal Execution Platform, shouted, "Nezha, what are you doing here? I don't need your help. Leave now."

Nezha did not say anything, but also flew to the Immortal Execution Platform to help Li Jing remove the shackles.

Jiang Ziya shouted, "Hurry up and set up a dragnet. Don't let them escape."
