Because Xihe wanted to restrain the ancestor Tiandou, her real body Wuxia came over, so she had to send her incarnation to discuss matters.
Inside the camp tent, Xihe's incarnation sat at the top, while Tota-Bearing Heavenly King and Wen Zhenru stood below, just below Xihe on the left and right.
"Tota-Bearing Heavenly King, what do you think about the matter of Tianshu Patriarch asking for a title?" Xihe asked Tota-Bearing Heavenly King.
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "Tianshu Patriarch never asked for a title earlier, and never asked for one later. This time, after seeing our Heavenly Army defeat the Yudou Pseudo Court army and approaching Yidingzhou, he asked for a title. He must be trying to get some benefits for the Shuxian Sect before our Heavenly Army pacifies the Yudou Pseudo Court."
Xihe nodded and said, "If the Yudou Fake Court is pacified, then the Shuxian Sect will no longer have such great influence."
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "But he has grasped the situation very well, asking for the title at this critical moment. We are indeed worried that he will rebel, which will bring us huge trouble."
After saying this, the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King Wang Xihe reported, "Emperor, I think we should temporarily agree to the request of the Tianshu Patriarch to be ennobled. We should first stabilize him and deal with the Shuxian Sect after we have pacified the Yudou Fake Court."
Xihe nodded slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he turned to Wen Zhenru and asked, "Judge Tian, what do you think?"
Wen Zhenru bowed respectfully to Xihe and said, "I am the Judge of Heaven. This matter is not my responsibility. I will follow the decisions of His Majesty the Emperor and the King of Heaven. I am concerned about the matter of the 110,000 captives. The King of Heaven has been hiding from me for over two months. Is he trying to drag this matter out indefinitely?"
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King smiled and said, "Heavenly Judge, what we are discussing now is the matter of the Shuxian Sect seeking a title, not the matter of how to deal with those captives."
Wen Zhenru said calmly, "Then I will not interfere in this matter. As a judge of the Heavenly Court, I preside over the laws of Heaven. I will not interfere in matters that are not under my jurisdiction."
After saying this, Wen Zhenru bowed to Xihe and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say on this matter. I will only listen to your Majesty's decision."
Xihe smiled, but she didn't want to get involved in the matter of how to deal with the 110,000 captives, so she let Tota Heavenly King and Wen Zhenru fight it out.
So Xihe nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, let's report this to Taishi Xiandu and ask them to make the final decision. I also agree to temporarily confer the title of Tianshu Patriarch, and you can submit this proposal together with the report."
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the command of the Dharma."
Wen Zhenru said, "I will also submit a petition, requesting that Taishi Xiandu and Shenlei Yufu issue clear orders regarding the disposition of those 110,000 captives."
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why bother Taishi Immortal City with such a trivial matter? We can discuss it later."
Wen Zhenru said, "It's been two months. What results can be achieved by further discussion? The Heavenly Court clearly defeated the False Court's 200,000-man army, yet the Shuxian Sect still dares to ask for a title from the Heavenly Court at this critical juncture. This is because the Heavenly Court's majesty is not established. We must swiftly rectify the Heavenly Law and establish the Heavenly Majesty!"
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "How about this? Five days from now, I will summon all the immortal officials and heavenly generals of the Zhutian World to discuss the matter of the 110,000 captives."
But Wen Zhenru insisted, "We'll discuss it in five days, and I'll submit my memorial as well!"
"This..." Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was stunned for a moment, then said, "Heavenly Judge, should we wait five days to discuss this memorial before submitting it?"
Wen Zhenru looked at the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and said, "Heavenly King, are you going to stop me from submitting this memorial?"
"No, no, there is absolutely no such thing." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King waved his hands quickly. Submitting memorials to the heavenly court is the authority granted to every heavenly official. It is a power that no one can deprive of. How could the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King dare to have such thoughts?
Finally, seeing that he could not persuade Wen Zhenru, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King had to give up trying to persuade him. He then wrote a memorial to Xihe regarding the request for a title from Tianshu Patriarch.
Then Wen Zhenru wrote another memorial about the captives and submitted it to Xihe.
After Xihe received the two memorials, he said to everyone, "Alright, I will submit the memorials to the Heavenly Court after I return to my main body. Please adjourn the meeting."
Everyone immediately stood up and stood in the center of the tent, bowing and saying, "Farewell, Emperor."
Xihe's figure transformed into a ray of fairy light and disappeared into the tent. Wen Zhenru turned to leave the tent, but just as he reached the door, he heard a voice from behind: "The yellow-haired girl is in charge."
Wen Zhenru immediately turned around and asked the generals in the tent, "Who said that?"
The generals all stood there, looking left and right, and then all asked Wen Zhenru, "What did you say? We didn't hear anyone say anything."
Wen Zhenru said, "Someone just said, 'The little girl is in power.' Don't think I didn't hear it. Who said it? Come forward yourself."
The heavenly generals still shook their heads, saying that they didn't say it and didn't hear anyone else say it.
Seeing that the Heavenly Generals refused to acknowledge him, Wen Zhenru said, "My position as Heavenly Judge was granted by Great Emperor Hongqing. You may question my ability, but you cannot question Great Emperor Hongqing's decree. Let me ask again, who said that just now?"
When Wen Zhen said this, the expressions of the heavenly generals in the big tent suddenly froze. They originally thought that Wen Zhenru became the Heavenly Judge because of his relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, but they didn't expect that it was actually appointed by the Great Emperor Hongqing.
Even the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stepped forward and said, "I heard that too. Who among you said it? Please step forward and admit your mistake to the Heavenly Judge and apologize."
Since the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had spoken, the Heavenly Generals no longer dared to lie with their eyes open. Soon, a Heavenly General from the Golden Immortal Realm stood up and said, "I said it."
Wen Zhenru's gaze fell on the celestial general, and he asked, "What's your name?"
