"I only heard a few words from you before I realized the seriousness of the matter, so I quickly activated the sharing function with Lord Xingjun. He wanted solid evidence, so I let him hear it for himself and see if it counted as solid evidence. It did take some time for this."
"When I heard that the fighting had started on your side, I was so worried. I took Qinghe and quickly teleported over from the Western Desert. I also ordered the Underworld to send troops immediately. Fortunately, Lord Xingjun came directly from the Heavenly Court to rescue us. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have made it in time."
"It is also thanks to Lord Xingjun's early awareness of the unusual movements of the Mahayana cultivators in the demon realm that, after hearing the information, he not only dispatched celestial soldiers and generals, but also invited other Mahayana cultivators from the Heavenly Court to descend to the mortal realm with him."
"Otherwise, even if we could make it, we would all be doomed if we ran into that guy Hu Mei." Fairy said with lingering fear. From her words, Wang Yao could tell that the situation at the time was quite tense and exciting.
"How is the demon realm doing now?" Wang Yao asked.
"What else can happen? The three Mahayana cultivators, Zhenxing Star Lord, Chonghua Star Lord, and Qinglong Heavenly General, have all gone down. Unless the demon realm wants to be destroyed, what other trouble might there be? However... our investigation team has encountered some problems..." As the fairy spoke, her expression suddenly turned grim.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yao raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't it that Li Kui you recommended? The Yi Clan Chief insisted on keeping him here. Considering the Yi Clan's merit in resisting the Qingqiu rebellion, the Star Lord arranged for Li Kui to enter the newly established Heavenly Court's office in the Demon Realm, leaving him in the Demon Realm," the fairy said resentfully.
"Well... isn't that good too?" Wang Yao blinked. Li Kui and Lady Lian finally became a couple, and the investigation team lost a troublemaker. It was a good thing. Apart from Li Kui's health, which was a concern, Wang Yao couldn't see any other complaints from the fairy.
"What's so great about it? The investigation team's operation was originally extremely successful, but because Li Kui colluded with the female demon without permission, we were accused of mismanagement and damaging the relationship between the immortal and demon realms. All that great merit was wiped out," the fairy said angrily.
“Uh…” Wang Yao nodded. It seems that the Heavenly Court is bargaining with the fairy. Logically speaking, Li Kui’s fault lies with Li Kui for seducing Lady Lian. If the Heavenly Court wants to punish someone, it should only punish Li Kui. But now the Heavenly Court is putting the blame on the investigation team.
You were supposed to be rewarded for completing the task, but now that your merits and demerits have been balanced, there's no reward or punishment, which saves the Heavenly Court some money. However... I don't know what the Heavenly Emperor is thinking. Your little granddaughter is in the investigation team. You're stingy with the fairy, are you going to be stingy with your own granddaughter too?
That's really not fair.
"Um...did you catch Eunuch Wei?" When talking about successfully completing the mission, Wang Yao immediately thought of Eunuch Wei, the culprit in the underworld.
“He got away. The monkeys were originally located in the western continent, far from Dongchuan. By the time our three armies from the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and the Demon Realm entered the monkey territory, Eunuch Wei had already fled with the monkeys’ upper echelons, including that Thousand Faces,” the fairy said.
"They escaped? Where could they have escaped to?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"Where else can they escape to? They can't go back to the underworld, and they can't stay in the demon realm. They've either gone to the divine realm or are hiding in the demon realm. They might even have gone to the foreign realm with those foreign gods," the fairy replied.
"Those foreign gods ran away too?" Wang Yao was greatly surprised. He originally thought that with three great beings guarding the area, those foreign gods would at least lose some of their lives in the demon realm, if not all of them. But judging from the fairy's tone, the foreign gods didn't seem to have suffered much loss.
"They didn't run away, they were expelled from the country. The foreign gods are very upset. They've started a movement in the foreign world called 'Oppose Heaven's Persecution of Dissidents,' saying we're not democratic, not free, and don't respect the rights of demons and ghosts..."
"They're imposing economic sanctions on us, and they're also filing media complaints. I heard they're even inviting representatives of the Six Realms who have been persecuted to the Western Realm to some kind of 'Conference to Accuse the Heavenly Court'..." the fairy said to Wang Yao.
"Ahem... Xiao He, let's not talk about this anymore, be mindful of the consequences." Lu Xian coughed twice, interrupting the fairy's rambling and reminding her.
"It's not a secret, so what's the big deal?" Fairy glanced at Lü Xian and retorted, but didn't say anything more.
"Anyway, our investigation team's mission is complete. The Heavenly Court has given you a special reward, which can be considered as fulfilling what I promised you back then..." The fairy winked meaningfully at Wang Yao. "Go back to the human world and work hard."
When the fairy winked at him, Wang Yao remembered that when the investigation team was first established, the fairy promised to give him merit points to help him advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in order to win him over to the team.
He had indeed reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but the merits he had accumulated were not a gift from the fairy, but rather earned with his own life. However, his friendship with the fairy had deepened over time, especially since he feared he would have lost his life in the demon realm if it hadn't been for her emergency rescue.
With that thought in mind, Wang Yao decided not to argue with her anymore.
"How is the Zhanghuang tribe? When I left, they were preparing for a decisive battle against the allied forces." Wang Yao thought for a moment and then asked.
"It is said that the battle was quite tough at the beginning, but later the heavenly soldiers and generals descended to the demon realm, the clan alliance army collapsed, and they took the opportunity to fight their way out of Dongchuan, becoming one of the main forces on the southern front of the three armies of the Heavenly Court. Lang Shuai, the patriarch of the Zhanghuang clan, was the leader of that army."
"When he saw me in the Western Desert, he asked about you, saying that he owed you a wedding feast and wanted to invite you to Tianchao City to make it up to you when you had time," the fairy said.
