“Oh dear, you silly child, your father knows about this,” Ao Guang suddenly interjected.
"You know?" Wang Yao turned to look at Ao Guang in astonishment.
"Of course! Your father waited for you in the Swamp of Sorrows for three whole years. When you didn't come out, he was very worried, so he went to the Heavenly Court to find the Heavenly Emperor. I told the Heavenly Emperor, 'Your Majesty, our fourth son is participating in the God and Demon Forging, and I'm so worried about him...'"
Ao Guang began to ramble on and on.
"Can you get to the point?" Wang Yao knew that his adoptive father wasn't very bright, but he was also impatient with his nagging, so he could only patiently discuss it with his father.
"The important thing? The important thing is that the Heavenly Emperor agreed to Father's request! With the Heavenly Emperor ruling over our Six Realms, it is truly a blessing and a great fortune for our Six Realms... The Heavenly Emperor said that all our work should be done with humanity in mind..." Ao Guang sighed and praised the Heavenly Emperor again.
"What exactly did the Heavenly Emperor agree to?" Wang Yao interrupted Ao Guang through gritted teeth and asked.
"What else could it be? Of course, it's asking your old man to come to the realm of gods and demons to save you," Ao Guang said, his eyes wide.
"You came to the realm of gods and demons to save me? Then why haven't I seen you all this time?" Wang Yao was greatly surprised.
"You've seen them now, haven't you?" Ao Guang said with a dismissive expression.
"I mean before!" Wang Yao felt the fire of impatience burning up inch by inch in his heart.
“You weren’t in any danger before, and you were so impressive as the commander of the Three Realms’ reinforcements. Why did I go and join in? Besides, I’m busy too. You don’t know, the God of the Ocean has built a huge magic array in the Heavenly Demon City. They and that group of rebellious demons don’t even have enough to maintain the array…” Ao Guang said.
"A magic array? What's it used for?" Wang Yao asked hurriedly when Ao Guang mentioned the key point.
"I don't know." To Wang Yao's surprise, Ao Guang stared wide-eyed at him.
"Don't know?" Wang Yao was stunned by Ao Guang's words and couldn't help but regret it. He knew that his cheap father was not very bright, but he had been rambling on with him until now. He really had to wonder if his own brain was broken too.
"Lord Yue Lao, the purpose of that great formation is indeed quite strange?" At this moment, a voice rang out from behind Wang Yao's head. Wang Yao turned his head and saw that it was Master Lu who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Master Lu, you've come to the conference too?" Wang Yao asked with a surprised smile.
"Yes, thanks to the Old Man of the Moon, Lu Ban was fortunate enough to be promoted to a main god, so he is also qualified to attend. However, he was entrusted by Lord Si Chen Xingjun to go to Tongtian Demon City to check the remnants of the array left by the Yang God, and he just arrived here." Lu Ban explained to Wang Yao with a smile.
"So, you don't know the purpose of that magic array either?" Wang Yao asked.
"It's hard to say. We haven't figured out who set up the formation yet. The formation is also very characteristic of the foreign lands. I'm ignorant and don't dare to make a hasty judgment. However..." Lu Ban's voice suddenly trailed off.
“However, if that formation was personally set up by Saruman, I think it’s most likely a formation for creating large-scale shadow puppets,” Lu Ban whispered.
"Shadow Puppet?" Wang Yao's heart tightened upon hearing this. He was about to ask further when the argument between the gods and demons came to an end, and Si Chen Xingjun summoned Master Lu.
“Master Lu, now that you have returned from the Heavenly Demon City, please share your assessment of that magic array,” said Sichen Xingjun.
"Wait!" Xia Geng suddenly jumped out again. "It was our kind-hearted act of helping foreign guests by activating an unknown magic array for the foreign god. What's there to investigate? It's your Heavenly Court that rashly sent troops to the God and Demon Realm, seized my Demon Domain, and destroyed my Demon City. We need to settle this matter first!"
"Xia, you are mistaken. The magic array of the Yang God has seriously threatened the safety of the Six Realms. If I hadn't seen that the six stars of your Demon Realm were unstable and that Yin energy was rising suddenly, and that I couldn't contact you Demon Lords, I wouldn't have applied to the Heavenly Emperor to send troops to the God and Demon Realms."
An elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom spoke loudly beside the Star Lord Sichen.
"Furthermore, if that formation is truly harmless to the Six Realms, why did the Demon Lords who maintained it seem so relieved after we entered the Tongtian Demon City? Even Tongtian said there was something seriously wrong with the formation. Moreover, if the Yang Gods have a clear conscience, why did they flee in panic before we arrived?"
"Your Excellency, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, but there's a long-standing agreement among the Six Realms that your Heavenly Court cannot interfere in the internal affairs of my Demon Realm without cause," the Decapitated Demon Lord declared loudly.
"You say that the Yang God Formation threatens the Six Realms, but I think that's pure speculation. The so-called instability of the Six Stars and the sudden rise of Yin energy are just your own feelings, and they can't be used as evidence at all."
“My elder brother Tongtian said there was a problem with the formation, but he hasn’t felt any discomfort so far, so it doesn’t prove anything. As for Master Lu, the puppeteer you sent to Tongtian Demon City, he was originally a god. How can his words be trusted?”
"So, Your Majesty's attempt to justify Heaven's military action against the Demon Realm by using the magic array as a pretext is, in my humble opinion, quite inappropriate," Xia Geng said emphatically.
"Then why don't you strike me with lightning?" the Queen Mother of the West asked coldly from the side.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. You have led the gods, demons, and underworld races to the gates of my Executioner's City. To protect myself, I dared not show any mercy. Besides, no matter how rude I was, I still became your prisoner, Your Majesty," Xia Geng replied.
"So, according to you, our Heavenly Court made a mistake in sending troops to the Demon Realm?" the old man beside Sichen Xingjun asked with a smile.
"This little demon has no right to criticize the Heavenly Court's decision, but justice resides in the hearts of the people of the Six Realms, and there will always be a consensus on right and wrong," Xia Geng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
