Chapter 96: Temporarily replacing the Jade Emperor!



The Great Lord of Justice, the lord of the Tianshu Court among the two courts in the Heaven Realm, is given the title of Lord of Justice and is also the Great Emperor. His position is close to the highest among the six realms, and his strength is at the top of the great ranks. Qi Wuhuo has had several conflicts with him and knows that the Great Lord of Justice has a way of punishing on behalf of Heaven with his own way.

And recently, he has even tried to reach into both the Doubu and the destiny of humanity at the same time.

He intended to raise the Human Emperor who was being cast down into the Netherworld to the Heaven Palace. As one of the Four Hidden Stars, he had a direct confrontation with the young Taoist priest. He was a tyrant and had a very high status, so he was also a great enemy. However, Qi Wuhuo paused, but did not answer immediately. He just pondered for a moment and asked, "Will the Great Emperor of Beiji Ziwei take action?"

Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "He won't... Beidi is only responsible for maintaining the bottom line of the six realms..."

However, the Jade Emperor’s rule is not the bottom line of the six realms.

At least it won’t cause the six realms to collapse.

This is the hidden meaning of which Beiji Ziwei Emperor.

Zhang Xiaoyu sighed, his previous sharpness subsided, and he showed a gentle and harmless look again, saying: "Besides, when I was playing chess with Emperor Ziwei just now, I secretly asked him what he thought..."

His voice paused, his expression complicated, as if he recalled what the Northern Purple Star Emperor had just said. He invited Qi Wuhuo in, waved his hand to summon a cloud of mist, held up a cup of tea, and said:

"He said that if he took action to solve the problem, it would only be like cutting off the thorns growing in the yard."

"The root cause of the problem has not been resolved, and the 'environment' that led to the emergence of people like the judiciary has not changed. In this way, new thorns will appear over time."

"In my own weak state, even if there is no justice, there will be a judge of crime. What will happen when Si Dao comes out? Ask him to take action? If the Exorcist Institute moves rashly, the immortals and gods will not know where the bottom line of the six realms is, and they will naturally be in a state of panic all day long, which will lead to even greater chaos."

"After the judiciary is eliminated, the next powerful official will gradually rise up, which will bring new struggles and bloodshed."

“It is better to let justice continue.”

"First, it allows the judiciary to suppress those who have evil thoughts in their hearts; second, the opponents to be dealt with are also very clear."

"Three come..."

Zhang Xiaoyu held the tea and closed his eyes slightly, suddenly recalling the last game of chess with the Northern Emperor. The Northern Emperor Ziwei was holding a black chess piece with his fingers, looking at him calmly, and said lightly: "The emperor is alert and angry, is it because the judiciary is misbehaving, or is it because the judiciary threatens your existence?"

"Use me to get rid of the traitors. At that time, the six realms of the world only knew Beiji Ziwei but not the Jade Emperor. In the long run, what you need to face is not just the judiciary, but me, the Jade Emperor who is the hope of the six realms. Relying on my power, are you ready to become my enemy in the future?"

This sentence was calm, and the eyes of the Emperor of Beiji Ziwei were deep and cold, as if he could see through the young Jade Emperor.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoyu felt a huge pressure, far more than the coldness of the Justice Great Lord. It was like a group of stars across the sky, illuminating all things and never stopping. He was silent for a while. The North Pole Purple Star Emperor placed the last piece on the chessboard and said lightly: "You lose, Emperor."

"It's been a good meeting today. After playing three games of chess, I'm already exhausted. Your Majesty should have a good rest."

The Emperor of Beiji Ziwei stood up, brushed his sleeves across the table, said something lightly, and left.

Only the young Jade Emperor was left watching the game of chess, not saying a word for a long time.

Now recalling the scenes just now, when talking with Qi Wuhuo, he can still feel the unparalleled oppression of Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor from the conversation and the pictures in his memories, and the calmness that is almost invincible in the world. Zhang Xiaoyu was silent for a long time and said:

"So, I know what the Northern Emperor means. I must handle this matter, or at least I must contribute greatly."

"Eliminating the judiciary is the right thing to do. It is the only way to ensure that after eliminating the judiciary, we will have enough prestige and power to suppress the ambitions of the rest of the gods and ensure that no second judiciary will be born. Apart from this, all external forces are false."

"After much thought, I think that the only person I can rely on, trust, and work with is you, Brother Qi."

"Master Xuandu and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun are only there to protect me, and they will not obey my orders. Even if I mention this to them, they will not agree."

This has already answered Qi Wuhuo's second question that had not yet been asked.

The young Taoist asked, "How many methods of the Haotian Body can you use now, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said in a deep voice: "The upper limit is not even at the level of Jiheyu, but only at the peak of Dapin. Unless you consume the power of your soul and lifespan, it will be difficult to go higher."

Qi Wuhuo asked the third question and said:

"…So who do you think will win if there is a life-and-death battle between me and Justice?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu and Qi Wuhuo fell silent.

To Zhang Xiaoyu, the Great Lord of Justice replaced the order of heaven with himself and acted arbitrarily; to Qi Wuhuo, the Great Lord of Justice wanted to promote the Human Emperor to the position of the Four Hidden Star Lords, and it was obvious that he intended to interfere with the destiny of the human world. This was actually a method using the human world as a ritual, and it was in conflict with the return of Queen Nuwa.

However, the opponent's strength exceeded the limit.

Three duels between Qi Wuhuo and the Great Lord of Justice.

The first time was to compare talismans.

The power was judged by the Northern Emperor to be similar; the reason for the victory was simply because Qi Wuhuo created the talisman with one stroke, and it was his own creation.

Qi Wuhuo lost the second debate on law.

The third move seemed like Qi Wuhuo won, but before that, he needed the [Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle], the power of the stars in the sky, and the Flame Flag.

And the Great Lord of Justice can make law come true with just one thought!

And the last move that had been built up for a long time only broke the move of the Great Lord of Justice, forcing the latter to use the second move, which directly blocked the power that burst out from Qi Wuhuo's palm, which was not inferior to the flaming flag that was launched by Zhu Rong. Qi Wuhuo won only because Justice used the second move.

It can be said that at that moment, the Great Lord of Justice was able to immediately change his tactics and stop Qi Wuhuo's flaming flag from leaving the ground.

But Qi Wuhuo, even with the help of Fire Star's foundation, could never burst out with a move as domineering as the one that was accumulating power in the sea of ​​stars.

Therefore, if a fight were to take place, Judiciary would only need three moves to kill Qi Wuhuo, who was holding the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and had the Fire Star foundation. And for the Jade Emperor at this moment, just three moves would force the Jade Emperor to consume his spirit and soul and fight desperately. This was the power of the presiding officer of one of the two courts in heaven.

Qi Wuhuo sighed and recalled the woman under the sea of ​​blood.

As well as the human Qi in his body, which was suspected to be closely related to the destiny of humanity, he looked at the Jade Emperor in front of him, thought for a moment, and said:

"Brother Zhang, you have personally witnessed that fight, and you should know that my victory is only possible under such conditions. If it is a life-and-death fight, not to mention how many magical weapons and treasures the Justice Heavenly Venerable has in his hands during the eight thousand years when the Tianshu Academy dominated the six realms, and not to mention how much he has accumulated in the past few calamities."

"But with the methods revealed right now, you and I are no match for them."

"You wouldn't just mention the idea of ​​executing the judge just because it occurred to you, would you?"

"If that's the case, I can pretend that I didn't hear this sentence today."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing. He raised the tea set in his hand and poured it to the young Taoist priest, saying, "Haha, Brother Qi, you don't have to provoke me with words. Today, in this Lingxiao Palace, only you and I are here. Because you have made great contributions and have done great deeds for the six realms, but you have not accepted any rewards, have not entered the Heavenly Palace, and have not had any dealings with the many forces in the Heavenly Realm, I can rest assured to befriend you."

"If I didn't trust you enough, I wouldn't have told you this."

The young Taoist held the tea, looked at the extremely clear fairy tea with a hint of spiritual charm, and said, "There is also a direct battle with the judiciary today, right?"

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Yes."

There were no other immortal officials here, and the Lingxiao Palace seemed extremely empty. He simply sat casually on the jade steps of the Lingxiao Palace. The young Taoist thought about it and also sat there casually. The clouds were flowing, and this was the highest place. The mist was rolling, lingering under the young Taoist's robe and around the hand of the young Jade Emperor. It was ethereal and unique, yet very high, very cold, and very lonely.

Zhang Xiaoyu took a sip of the immortal tea and spoke frankly, "Zhenwu is unique, acts freely and unrestrainedly, and doesn't get along with the other immortals and gods. It is precisely because of these things, plus the title of Supreme, that I can trust you so much."

"It's just because, in the Tianque today, many True Lords and Immortals who harbor other hearts were once sincere and frank, but as long as they have a heart, they will change. There is no heart that has not changed for millions of years. Even a stubborn stone will weather. The generals who fought to protect me are now the confidants of the Tianshu Academy. The leader of the Thunder Department only knows the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor, and the Dou Department only respects Gou Chen and Bei Ji."

"To be honest, if it was just this position, I wouldn't care. But the cruel actions of those immortals and gods will only bring danger to the common people, such as Donghua and Judicial System. Sometimes I think that this body is not immortal, but every time, every time when my consciousness sinks to the bottom, I always wake up suddenly. I can't hand over the six realms and the heaven to those people..."

"I have only managed to escape death time and again over the past eight thousand years and now sit here."

On the white jade steps under the throne of the Lingxiao Palace, there were no immortals or gods, majestic and honorable, but only two young men. The young Jade Emperor showed a melancholy mood on his face. He held the white jade cup in his hand, lowered his eyes, and said with a distant look in his eyes: "Sometimes I feel that it is really boring. I think I will continue to sit in this boring position for a long, long time."

"I think that when you and I really take over the judicial system and take back the responsibilities of the Tianshu Court, my responsibilities will become heavier and heavier."

"At that time, it may not be easy to go down to the mortal world to see it."

Zhang Xiaoyu seemed to be able to see his future experiences. There was a bleakness in his eyes, and he smiled faintly and said:

"Brother Qi, if you come across anyone interesting in the future, please introduce them to me."

"If I can't come down, you can ask him to come to the sky, to the Lingxiao Palace. Hahaha, it would be best if he could break in. Of course, if he is arrogant, it would be best if he could come to the South Heaven Gate and occupy my position, so that I can go down to the mortal world for a good tour..."

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said, "Where can there be such an arrogant person?"

"In heaven, there is the North Pole Exorcism House and the North Pole Purple Star Emperor."

"I can't imagine that there is anyone who can be so arrogant as to overcome the siege of the Exorcist Institute and the strength of the Northern Purple Star Emperor and break into the Lingxiao Palace."

The young Jade Emperor propped his chin with one hand and smiled slightly, "Then, how about I just let the Thunder Department take action?"

"No, it's a force other than Yu that's attacking. I believe it will definitely not be able to stop you."

“I’m worried that I will change too.”

“I’m really worried.”

He raised the cup in his hand, facing the sun, moon and flowing light, and said gently: "Look, we are still young and full of vigor and vitality now, but what about a thousand years later, ten thousand years later? A hundred thousand years later, will you and I become the current Justice, the previous Donghua? You must know that the original Justice also hated evil as much as he hated it."

"But fellow Daoist, you have the talent of a Daoist ancestor, and you don't have to face the intrigues of the six realms like I do, so it should be fine."

"So, if one day I really change and become a numb so-called god, Brother Qi, you must come to find me. If you can't come, then let your disciples come. It would be best if you can fight your way over here, rush into this Lingxiao Palace, and scold me. There is no need to report your name. If there is such a rebellious person, he will ascend to heaven."

"I knew it was you."

The young Jade Emperor smiled and lowered his eyes, lightly telling some stories that no one would think would appear at this moment.

At this moment, he is young, full of vigor and vitality, and still has the courage to clear the world.

The world is before you and the road is ahead.

The numb Jade Emperor who fell into the doomsday will eventually see the same blazing light as his younger self in the future and find his past again. At this moment, which is just a memory in the distant future, he just smiled and raised his glass, clinking them lightly. Qi Wuhuo did not answer whether he would do this, but just asked: "Then, what can Brother Zhang do?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said: "How to do it? If you want to eradicate the judiciary, you are actually restoring my prestige."

"The best thing is to find many faults in him, and then let Beiji Ziwei Emperor judge him; however, the judiciary is the master of Tianshuyuan, and it will never succeed if it is done lightly. The second is to use me as bait to expose his ambitions, and then capture and kill him. The problem with this is that the judiciary is cautious. If it knows that Master Xuandu and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun are here, it will never take action."

"Even if the movements of any big-level person are unclear, he will be cautious."

"After thinking it over, the only one I can rely on is you."

Qi Wuhuo's eyes lit up slightly, and he said slowly: "One Qi becomes Three Pure Ones..."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Yes, if the great masters including Huoyao were outside, and he attacked me, he would never have thought that Huoyao was right beside me. Only if the two of us joined forces to kill Judicial Officers, we could completely become famous and powerful in the six realms..."

"I need to suppress the majesty of these six realms, and this reputation belongs to you."

"At that time, you will use the name of Tai Shang Xuan Wei or Zhen Wu Ling Ying to shock the six realms. It's up to you."

"One great product is enough to change everything."

Qi Wuhuo pondered the feasibility of this action and frowned slightly. Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Don't worry, we won't kill him immediately. The judicial vigilance is at its peak at the moment. It is extremely difficult to catch him and kill him openly, and then clean up the six realms. He must be suspicious of me now, and I'm afraid he will come here soon. It's a test, and also a kind of 'suppression'."

"Suppression?"

Zhang Xiaoyu said: "Yes, taking advantage of the situation to suppress... It is to hold the general situation hostage and bite back at the emperor."

"This has happened more than once in the past eight thousand years."

"So, I'm going to have to ask Brother Laoqi to help me once again... It's inconvenient for me to travel alone in the heavens, so I need a second identity. The best identity is to be the Jade Emperor's close guard. I think the Justice Department will not give up trying to win me over and ask me to spy on the Jade Emperor's identity."

Zhang Xiaoyu said calmly:

"With this spy, we can go forward to spy on the Tianshu Court and facilitate our actions; we can also go backward to pass on intelligence and get the judiciary involved."

"And if it is exposed and the judiciary takes action against me, then their conspiracy will be exposed."

“It’s always worth it.”

Qi Wuhuo thought about it and suddenly felt something strange. He guessed something, but didn't want to agree.

Playing dumb, he asked, “So?”

Zhang Xiaoyu's face once again showed a harmless expression, and he smiled and said, "Of course. The Jade Emperor's confidant must appear with the Jade Emperor in person more than once to confirm his true identity as a confidant and personal guard, and to dispel the judicial doubts about whether this confidant is the Jade Emperor himself."

"Ahem, Brother Qi, you are the only one I can trust in these six realms."

"And the only one who can disguise himself as me without being discovered is you, my fellow Taoist who has achieved the state of transforming the Three Pure Ones into one Qi!"

"So, Lord Wuhuo, for the six realms, for Queen Nuwa."

"Become the Jade Emperor."

"????"

Qi Wuhuo chose to refuse.

But suddenly a voice came from far away, the voice of the old Lord came, saying: "Your Majesty, Emperor, the Lord of Justice is here to see you..."

The two young men paused and looked at each other. Zhang Xiaoyu looked outside with a cold look in his eyes and said:

"Brother Qi, thank you for your help."

Qi Wuhuo looked at the aura in the distance. The latter was planning to interfere with the destiny of humanity. He was already an enemy. The young Taoist and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at each other. Zhang Xiaoyu had an object in his hand and threw it to Qi Wuhuo. It was the Jade Emperor's weapon, the symbol of the Jade Emperor, and the control instrument of the Lingxiao Palace. The young Taoist held the jade seal and did not agree to help. He just said:

"Why is Brother Zhang so determined to get rid of him?"

Zhang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes.

I recalled Beidi’s question in my mind - was the emperor alert and angry because the judiciary was misbehaving, or because the judiciary threatened your existence?

Neither.

Neither.

Zhang Xiaoyu exhaled, and suddenly thought of the Lord of Justice who bravely committed suicide to attack the judiciary. He replied softly and gently: "I just want him to know that although it is a little late, he did not misjudge him."

"That's all."

"Yeah?"

The young Taoist savored this answer, held the seal, and said, "Then I will help you once."

"But aren't you afraid that I might actually steal this seat?"

Zhang Xiaoyu turned his back to him and said calmly, "If you want it, just take it yourself."

"I believe you."

The young Taoist smiled and joked: "I don't want your miserable position."

"Okay, I'll help you again."

"If you change your mind one day, my disciple will come and hit you with a stick to wake you up!"

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said nothing.

Qi Wuhuo suddenly thought of something and said, "However, although I say I will help you, I am only a Taoist priest."

"How am I going to fake your usual behavior?"

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it, pondered carefully, and then said concisely:

"You should restrain yourself a little."

The young Taoist was dumbfounded and couldn't help laughing. He then held the seal and narrowed his eyes slightly.

One Qi——

Transform into the Three Pure Ones!

【sky】!

The old Lord of Heaven delayed time, but could not overcome the majesty of the Great Justice Lord, so he had to lead the way into the Lingxiao Palace. However, when he stepped into the room, he found that the Jade Emperor had his back to the common people, and on the side of the throne, there was a young man in white clothes with a sword, with a handsome and noble look. He was startled and suspicious.

When did Your Majesty get such a personal guard?

He had some thoughts in his mind, but he refused to speak them out. He just stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I greet your Majesty."

Justice Lord also bowed, and then a dull and calm voice was heard: "Stand up."

The voice was vague and grand, yet for some reason, it seemed a little different. The Lord of Justice raised his eyes and looked forward. The Jade Emperor, who was sitting high above them with his back to them, leaned slightly to the side with his sleeves fluttering.

The Great Lord of Justice and the Old Lord were paused.

Under the sea of ​​clouds, the face is still not clear.

What I saw were a pair of eyes that were cold and domineering, with a faint golden glow.

? !!

Jade Emperor? ! !

No, the Jade Emperor is gentle. This kind of domineering and resolute demeanor is...

The pupils of the Lord of Justice shrank slightly.

“Haotian?!”
