Although Marshal Tianhe suffered a severe injury, he was also fortunate. He not only escaped punishment but also obtained a Creation Golden Pill and the opportunity to enter the Immortal Transformation Pool to reshape his physical body.
He put away the golden pill and expressed his deepest gratitude to Hu Le on the high platform.
Afterwards, Marshal Tianhe and Venus took their leave one after the other.
For the next few days, Hu Le kept Ji Meng under his control, hoping that Di Jun could give him an explanation.
As for Di Jun, he also had his own ulterior motives, wanting to see how the Heavenly Court would react before making a response.
Neither side took any action for the time being.
This is also a consequence of poor communication.
Hu Le waited for several days but still didn't get the result he wanted; it seemed that Di Jun had given up.
He was getting impatient and made the first move.
After all, he's in the right, so what if he went a bit too far?
On this day, he ordered his men to bring a black dog from the mortal realm, and then released Ji Meng, who had been suppressed within the Five-Colored Divine Light.
At this moment, Ji Meng had lost his physical body, leaving only his primordial spirit.
Seeing that Hu Le had let him out, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at Hu Le and saw a half-smile on the other's face. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
He immediately chuckled dryly and bowed deeply to Hu Le, saying, "Greetings, Emperor Dongxuan."
"What? Why have you become so polite, Fellow Daoist Ji Meng? I remember you weren't very courteous when you ambushed me before!"
"this……"
Ji Meng's eyes flickered slightly as he forced a defense, saying, "It was just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
"Haha...you bastard! You can't even come up with an excuse. How could I let you off so easily today?"
"What...what do you want to do to me?" Ji Meng became increasingly flustered.
"Originally, according to my wishes, you should be placed on the execution platform to suffer the punishment of being divided into spirits. However, considering that your cultivation in this life was hard-won, I will spare your life."
Today I will bestow upon you a new physical body, then send you to the Southern Heavenly Gate to feel the breeze and reflect on your past sins.”
“What…” Ji Meng was a little confused.
However, Taibai Jinxian, who was standing to the side, laughed and pointed to the black dog lying on the ground not far away, saying, "Fellow Daoist, look what's that?"
Ji Meng looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw the black dog with its tongue hanging out and drooling.
A very ominous premonition immediately rose in his heart.
"How is it? I personally went to the mortal realm to carefully select this body for you. Are you satisfied?" Taibai Jinxing asked with a smile, his face full of teasing, and he admired Hu Le even more in his heart.
If we're talking about who's the worst, it's my older brother.
How did he come up with this method to humiliate people?
If Ji Meng's primordial spirit were to walk inside this black dog's body, he would probably be ridiculed by his fellow cultivators in the prehistoric world for tens of millions of years.
How can he still have the face to live?
Ji Meng finally understood Hu Le's sinister intentions. His eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted angrily, "You...you...you've gone too far!"
Hu Le said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, who can you blame for this? Who started this conflict with my Heavenly Court?"
Who was it that ambushed me from the shadows?
"You deserve this fate, don't you?"
Next, Hu Le wanted to finish off the emotionally, "...By the way, all this time, I've been waiting for Di Jun to give me an explanation, hoping he could take you away from me. Unfortunately, it seems that you're not as important to him as he thought!"
Even now, he still ignores you completely.
In that case, why should I be polite to you?
Upon hearing this, Ji Meng felt a chill in his heart. He was one of the Great Saints of the Demon Clan and had always been loyal to Di Jun. Over the years, he had risked his life for him and done countless things for him.
If Di Jun really has been completely indifferent to him all this time, as Hu Le claims, then it's truly disheartening...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I wish to submit to you, and I hope you can give me a chance to atone for my sins..."
Recalling Di Jun's ruthlessness towards his family, and out of fear of punishment, unsurprisingly, Ji Meng began to kowtow to Hu Le repeatedly, begging for mercy.
Hu Le shook his head, "Isn't it too late for you to beg for mercy now?"
Clearly, he was not prepared to accept Ji Meng's surrender, and instead turned to look at Venus, saying, "Venus, go and see him off."
"Here you are."
Venus agreed and walked up to Jimeng with a smile. Ignoring his struggles and pleas for mercy, she pushed him from behind.
Ji Meng's primordial spirit immediately floated up and disappeared into the black dog's body in the blink of an eye.
"Woof woof woof..."
The black dog suddenly barked wildly, then convulsed and collapsed to the ground. After a few moments, it finally stood up shakily.
"Hehe... As expected of a demon saint, you've taken over this dog's consciousness so quickly. Impressive!"
Venus clapped his hands and laughed jokingly.
"Woof woof woof..."
Because Ji Meng's primordial spirit was under a restriction, he couldn't use his magic power at all, and naturally couldn't refine the transverse bone in his throat. At this moment, whether he wanted to beg for mercy or curse, he could only let out a series of barks...
"Alright! Calm down! This is the Heavenly Court, not a place for you to bark like that."
Venus grabbed the black dog by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up.
"Your Majesty! I'll go out and make arrangements for him right away."
"You may go then," Hu Le waved his hand dismissively, adding as a final reminder, "Don't forget to spread the word about this, especially to the Sun Palace..."
"Understood! Your Majesty understands perfectly!"
Venus smiled knowingly, agreed, picked up the black dog, and strode out of the hall.
He carried the black dog through palaces and soon arrived at the South Heavenly Gate.
"Greetings, Star Lord!"
When the guards saw the popular figure before the Dongxuan Emperor approaching, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, their faces plastered with fawning smiles.
"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone."
Venus smiled kindly, then handed the black dog in his hand to one of the guards and instructed, "Here, go and erect a flagpole outside the gate, and then hang this up."
The garrison commander took the black dog, examined it closely, and was filled with suspicion.
Upon discovering that it possessed no magical power whatsoever and was clearly just an ordinary black dog, their doubts deepened.
However, no matter how deep his doubts were, he dared not disobey Venus's orders.
So he ordered someone to bring a flagpole, which he then erected outside the gate, and personally tied the black dog up and hung it there.
Next, Venus ordered someone to bring a wooden plaque as tall as a person, as well as writing brush and ink.
Then the garrison commander was instructed to write it down.
"Come on... I'll tell you what to write..."
"yes."
"This is none other than the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, Ji Meng!"
The garrison commander had just written two words when, after hearing the whole text, he was so surprised that his wrist trembled involuntarily, leaving a long ink mark on the wooden sign...
