Chapter 229: Pacificating Heaven Both of them were very calm...
Both of them remained calm. Fu Li explained, "The Lady of the Nine Heavens and the God of Justice are only following my orders to quell this minor rebellion. Don't panic. Simply guard the gates. Once everything is pacified, your contribution will naturally be rewarded."
Seeing her so calm, the panic in the hearts of the guards quickly dissipated. They all gripped their weapons tightly, held their heads high and chests puffed out, and shouted in response: "Yes, we will obey the orders of the Emperor!"
Fu Li nodded slightly, and said to Nezha in a very leisurely tone and posture: "The inside is almost cleaned up. Let's go in and take a look."
Nezha nodded modestly and followed Fu Li in with a calm expression.
As soon as the two of them entered the South Heaven Gate, Yang Jian flew over, bowed, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, Junior Brother, you are finally here."
He pointed northwest and said, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is directing the battle over there. She noticed a master entering the South Heaven Gate, so she sent me to investigate. Are you heading there now, or are you looking for somewhere to hide first?"
Fu Li said, "Let's go take a look. The immortals in Heaven all know I went to the mortal world to experience tribulation, but few know I've returned. Now I'll show up to calm the people on our side and, by the way, dampen the morale of the other side."
As she spoke, she pulled out a mirror from her sleeve. It was the one she often used, and Yang Jian had seen it more than once and had already memorized it.
This mirror was obviously not Fu Li's magic weapon. Yang Jian was a man of meticulous mind and intelligence. He knew after a little thought that the two most famous mirrors in the entire prehistoric world were the nameless mirror in the hands of Emperor Ziwei and the Lingbao Haotian Mirror, the real name of the Emperor of Heaven.
His eyes lit up, and he did not ask any questions immediately. Instead, he turned around and opened a passage, taking Fu Li and Nezha directly to the side of the Queen Mother of the West.
In the northwest of Heaven is the Immortal Execution Platform, the place with the heaviest murderous aura in the entire Heaven.
Tianxuannu practices the way of weapons and spears. The more murderous aura she has, the greater the benefit she gets.
When Yang Jian found her with Nezha's troop dispatch plan and told her that the Emperor of Ziwei had ordered her to take full command of all the heavenly soldiers and generals in the Upper Nine Heavens, the Middle Nine Heavens and the Lower Nine Heavens, and to kill all the auxiliary gods and generals planted by Haotian, the Lady of the Nine Heavens was invigorated, and immediately accepted the emperor's order and chose the Zhuxiantai as her command headquarters.
Seeing that Yang Jian had no objection and carried out her military orders accurately and quickly, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu felt relieved, knowing that Fu Li sent Yang Jian here to assist her, not to supervise and check her.
At that moment, she finally understood why her teacher, Queen Mother of the West, was willing to follow the Emperor of Purple Star to the end and turned a blind eye to the olive branch extended by Haotian.
Whether in terms of courage or bearing, Haotian is really far behind Emperor Ziwei.
The Queen Mother of the West is the eldest disciple and knows a lot about many things.
She knew that Fu Li had more than one capable leader under his command, and she also knew that the other party dared to give her the military power because he had the capital to take it back at any time.
But she also knew that if Haotian was given the same configuration, the other party would definitely not have the courage to hand over more than 200,000 heavenly soldiers to the disciples of the ally.
When the three of them arrived at the Zhuxian Terrace, Fu Li keenly noticed that the respect shown to her by the Lady of the Nine Heavens was more sincere than before.
This was within her expectations.
The Queen Mother of the West has a righteous heart. For such a person, as long as you give her enough trust, she will reward you with immeasurable value.
As the saying goes: You treat me as a national hero, and I will repay you as a national hero.
This kind of thing is always a two-way street.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Fu Li immediately said, "All military actions are under the command of Xuannv. I came here only to let the soldiers know that I have returned safely. And..."
She handed the Haotian Mirror to Jiutian Xuannu: "This is the life-saving magic weapon of the former Emperor Haotian. Now he has been beaten back to his original form by me."
Having his cultivation completely destroyed and reduced to his original form was no different from being dead.
The Queen Mother of the West was alert and waved the formation flag in her hand. The heavenly soldiers and generals forming the formation below received the order and immediately contracted the formation according to the instructions, trapping Haotian's men in the center.
"Your Majesty, please follow me forward." The Queen Mother of the West made a gesture of invitation.
Fu Li nodded slightly, and in coordination with the footsteps of the Queen Mother of the West, the two of them flew into the air together.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens said in a loud voice, "Soldiers, look who's back."
The soldiers below all looked up, some of them knew Fu Li, some didn't. But it didn't matter if they didn't know him, because those who did soon cheered.
"Emperor, the Emperor is back!"
"Emperor, Emperor."
Fu Li smiled and bowed to everyone, "Soldiers, you have all worked hard. When this battle is over, I will open the treasury and reward the troops!"
Fu Li said this with absolute certainty and was not afraid to fulfill it.
Now that Haotian has been reduced to his original form, her merits and abilities are more than enough to qualify her for the position of Heavenly Emperor. If she wins this battle, the entire Heavenly Court will be hers. The treasures that once belonged to Haotian will also be hers.
Although Haotian has never had real power, he is the Emperor of Heaven established by the Taoist Ancestor in accordance with the will of Heaven.
After the fall of the two demon emperors, the upper echelons dispersed, and the middle and lower echelons were left in ruins, like monkeys after a fallen tree. Despite the protection of the sage Nuwa, they were barely surviving. How could they dare to defy the will of heaven?
Except for what was used in the decisive battle with the Wu clan, almost all of Di Jun and Tai Yi's treasure troves were given to their successor Haotian.
It was precisely because of these treasures as capital that Haotian was able to gather a group of people from the Northern Continent and the demon tribes in the lower realm within just a few years.
It can be said that Fu Liyin has a good teacher. With nearly two thousand years of accumulation, he may surpass Haotian in terms of quantity. As for quality, it depends on what Haotian inherited from the demon clan's heaven.
But these heavenly soldiers and generals were unaware of the inside story. They only knew that Haotian had never had real power. Ever since Fu Li was deified, the power of the entire heaven had always been in her hands.
Therefore, when those who followed Fu Li heard that she would open her treasure house to reward the three armies, they cheered and their morale was immediately boosted.
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West took out Haotian again and used her magic power to show the three armies, with the key point being to let Haotian's confidants see clearly.
"This is the Haotian Mirror. The Emperor of Heaven lost his virtue and has been reverted to his original form by the Purple Star Emperor. His life-saving spiritual treasure, the Haotian Mirror, has been confiscated. If you continue to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Fu Li's appearance was already a blow to Haotian's forces. Now that they knew the object of their loyalty was gone, their morale plummeted to its lowest point.
Although they were still holding their magic weapons, they looked confused and felt at a loss as to what to do.
The Queen Mother of the West gave Fu Li a wink, indicating that she should go and persuade them to surrender.
Fu Li nodded slightly and fell from mid-air. Seeing that she was about to go inside, her own soldiers opened a path, allowing her to walk into the encirclement unimpeded.
Seeing Fu Li coming in, those who were close to him subconsciously became alert and raised the magic weapon in their hands, but in a defensive posture.
Although many of them were recruited after Fu Li descended to the mortal world, they all knew that Emperor Ziwei was a Daluo Jinxian with profound cultivation, and had even captured the Ten Golden Crows alone.
Due to rumors, they did not know which ten Golden Crows Fu Li had captured. Furthermore, due to her high status and profound cultivation, the world naturally assumed that the ones she had captured were the ten Golden Crows spawned by the Demon Emperor and the Sun God Xihe.
When facing Fu Li, they, like Haotian, felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that they were afraid, Fu Li stopped moving forward and stopped not far away. He said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm not here to kill you. I just want to tell you that this war should never have started.
Those who sacrificed their lives, whether they were loyal to me or to Haotian, were all innocent. If they still have families, I will send every penny of the compensation they deserve to their families."
Hearing this, those who were loyal to Haotian couldn't believe it, but there was a hint of hesitation in their vigilant eyes.
Finally, someone mustered up the courage to ask, "We were ordered to kill you, so why are you still giving us compensation?"
Fu Li said, "You also said that you were acting on orders. At that time, each served a master, and they died for their loyalty. I admire them. If Haotian were still alive, he would naturally pay for the compensation."
But he is gone now, and I will take over the Heavenly Court. Although you are loyal to Haotian, he was the Emperor of Heaven at that time, which means you are also loyal to the Heavenly Court. As the Lord of the Heavenly Court, how can I let my loyal subjects feel disappointed?
Those people looked at each other, and finally the first person put down his weapon.
What follows is like pushing a domino. After the first one, there will be the second, the third... and countless others.
In the end, there were only a few dozen people who still held on to their magic weapons and refused to surrender.
Fu Li asked, "You all refuse to surrender, but what are your concerns?"
The men looked at each other, and the one closest to Fu Li smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent and generous, and we have no doubts. However, the Lord of Heaven has been so kind to us, and if we were to betray him, we would be ashamed to live. Please, Your Majesty, show mercy and allow us to commit suicide."
Fu Li sighed and said, "Why do this? No matter what happened in the past, Haotian is gone now, and the cause and effect have disappeared. If you do not wish to remain in Heaven, then go to the lower world on your own."
After saying that, she moved aside to make way.
Seven or eight out of ten people who should be killed have been killed, and the remaining ones have no will to resist. Instead of killing them all, it is better to win over the hearts of the people.
But human hearts are the most difficult to control. The one who was talking to Fu Li just smiled, and the next moment he vomited blood and his body slowly dissipated.
He directly severed all the meridians in his body and used his life to repay the kindness Haotian had shown him.
With him taking the lead, the second one soon followed.
Even if someone was shaken by Fu Li's words, they would not be able to live on after seeing that everyone else had died.
Fu Li sighed softly and ordered, "Those were all heroes just now. Count them all as having died in battle. Pay them all the compensation they deserve, without missing a cent. For those without friends or relatives alive, I will personally descend into the underworld to secure a peaceful afterlife for them."
——But in this next life, don’t even think about having a chance to become an immortal.
The surrendered soldiers, who had been shaken by their suicide, completely gave up resistance.
Fu Li did not have anyone confiscate their magic weapons, but simply sent them all to the military camp in Xiajiutian for custody.
Wait until Fuli finishes the work, then we'll deal with them.
