"Gu Di, Commander Fang's fault cannot be found in this matter. It's just because you haven't been home for a long time that they became disloyal and were expelled from the Gu Di Guard by the commander." Zhang Xingmao hurriedly explained on behalf of Fang Shuquan, fearing that Zhang Qiming would blame him.
"That's because they were unlucky and missed the chance to follow me. I am willing to follow the ancient heir until death. I beg you to take me in for the sake of my father, Zhang Tai!"
As Zhang Xingmao spoke, he prostrated himself on the ground with a plop. His words were sincere, his eyes full of expectation.
"Are you Zhang Tai's son?" Zhang Qiming raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's right!" Zhang Xingmao responded quickly.
"It's rare that your family still cares about me. From now on, you will follow the guards!" Zhang Qiming looked indifferent, and his tone revealed a hint of the majesty of a superior.
"Thank you, Gu Di, thank you so much, Gu Di!" Zhang Xingmao hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, his face full of joy.
"All of you get up! When I recover my strength, I will go back and settle accounts with them." A fierce murderous intent flashed in Zhang Qiming's eyes.
"Yes!" The two stood up respectfully.
Then Zhang Qiming looked at Xu Mizi and said leisurely, "Master Xu, please help me pass on a message to the Jade Emperor. I want to live in the Heavenly Palace. I hope he can help me."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Xu Mizi, but Tong Tian and the others were all shocked, and a look of astonishment instantly appeared on their faces.
Xu Mizi subconsciously looked at the tightly closed Zixiao Palace, thinking to himself: Hongjun actually agreed to this?
"Don't worry, this is what Master meant." Zhang Qiming smiled slightly, looking confident, as if everything was under his control.
He completely ignored everyone's shock and said to the guide:
"I'll have to trouble Brother Jieyin to go to the underworld. I'd like to borrow the Book of Life and Death from the underworld. Please help deliver it to me, Houtu."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. They realized that Zhang Qiming had been holding back until now, waiting for the arrival of this powerful mid-stage Heavenly Emperor. He was actually going to take action against the Underworld and Heaven.
Tongtian was secretly worried: Is he going to deal with Duobao too? What if Duobao gets into trouble?
Jie Yin pondered: If Duobao rashly confronts Zhang Qiming, will it implicate Tathagata? If Tathagata is dragged into this dispute, the consequences will be disastrous.
Nuwa's face was filled with worry. "This guard's aura is on par with Hongjun's. Houtu is in serious trouble. I wonder if she and Duobao can withstand it. If Houtu gets into trouble, the prehistoric world will be in chaos."
Zhenyuan Dasheng sighed secretly: The prehistoric world is about to fall into a state of devastation again! This peaceful situation that has finally calmed down is about to be broken again.
Nanji Xianweng was secretly delighted: "Great, now we finally have a backer. When Junior Master-Uncle enters the Heavenly Palace, we can also share a portion of the Heavenly Palace's fortune. Maybe we can even break through to the Saint Emperor realm. If that really happens, we will be rich."
…
Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor stared at the image projected in the Haotian Mirror, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, so dark that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
The pen in his hand that was used to review memorials was crushed into pieces with a "crack", and the debris fell to the ground.
"He wants to live in my heavenly palace and even has the Book of Life and Death in the underworld. What a big appetite! Why don't I just let him give him the title of Daozu as well?"
The Jade Emperor gnashed his teeth in anger, his chest heaving violently, his rage almost bursting through his chest like an angry beast about to erupt.
Taishang Laojun, Taibai Jinxing and other immortals all knelt on the ground with a plop, not daring to breathe.
When the Jade Emperor calmed down a little, he immediately contacted Hou Tu and Duo Bao.
"Jade Emperor, please bring your people to the underworld as soon as possible. Let's concentrate our efforts to protect the underworld!" Duobao's anxious voice came from the sound transmission jade, and his tone was full of anxiety and worry.
"But what about my Heavenly Palace? Why don't you come to Heaven? Heavenly Palace also has the Great Array of Stars, which will give us an advantage in dealing with them!" The Jade Emperor responded hurriedly, with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Hou Tu, what do you think?" Duobao asked.
After a brief consideration, Hou Tu said in a deep voice, "Alright! I'll take Big Brother and the others to Heaven immediately!"
Duobao replied, "Then I'll rush over right away!"
After hearing their reply, the Jade Emperor's anxious heart was slightly relieved. He looked at the few people below and loudly ordered:
"Everyone, get up! Hurry and prepare. Make sure the Zhoutian Star Array is foolproof."
"We obey your command!" everyone responded in unison.
…
Soon, Xumizi arrived at the Heavenly Palace, and with him came Tongtian, Nuwa, Chaos Donkey, and Zhenyuan Great Sage.
The Jade Emperor went out to greet them immediately and invited them into the Lingxiao Palace.
"I believe the Jade Emperor is aware of our purpose. Please leave the Heavenly Palace to the Holy Emperor Taichu to prevent all living beings in the world from suffering." Xumizi went straight to the point with a serious expression.
"Thank you for your kindness, Taoist Xu. Houtu and Duobao are on their way. I still want to fight!" The Jade Emperor looked firm, with determination in his eyes, and he had no intention of backing down.
"How could you be so confused? That commander is a mid-stage Heavenly Emperor, no weaker than Hongjun. How could you possibly stop him?"
Xu Mizi was extremely anxious, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his voice unconsciously became a little higher.
"We have to stop them even if we can't. We can't let an outsider rule the prehistoric world! Zhang Qiming is extremely ambitious. Once he controls the destiny of Heaven and becomes powerful enough, he will become even more unscrupulous. By then, I'm afraid even the Dao Ancestor won't be able to do anything to him!"
The Jade Emperor spoke passionately and clenched his fists, as if declaring his determination to heaven and earth.
"Zhang Qiming is definitely not such a person!" Xu Mizi still didn't believe it and stubbornly believed that Zhang Qiming would not do anything evil.
"How is it impossible? He devoured the cultivation of others to improve his strength and killed so many people?" Hou Tu came with many ancestor witches and Duobao and said loudly. Her voice was as loud as a bell, revealing anger and dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you do those things?" Chaos Donkey couldn't help but interrupt, looking confused.
"Look carefully, you donkey! Have we improved at all? We have strong Qi and blood. Do we really need to increase our lifespan to improve our strength?"
Zhu Rong roared angrily, his eyes wide as copper bells, as if about to spit out fire.
"All of this is Zhang Qiming's frame-up. He is using this as an excuse to deal with us!" Di Jiang stepped forward and said solemnly, his brows tightly furrowed and his expression stern.
"How about we go to Zixiao Palace together and ask Hongjun for justice? We must not let Zhang Qiming take control of the Heavenly Court." Duobao suggested, looking at everyone with a firm gaze.
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Mizi nodded in agreement.
The group flew towards the thirty-third heaven in a mighty manner, but not long after they flew out, they saw Zhang Qiming coming towards them on a warship, and everyone stopped in the void.
"Hey! I just want to live in the Heavenly Palace, why do I have to trouble you to come all the way to 'welcome' me!" Zhang Qiming glanced at the Jade Emperor and others, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of contempt.
