Chapter 1077 [Ancient Juechen 18]
After Wuxu and Wuwang returned to Zijin Mansion, Wuxu immediately treated Wuwang's wounds. He skillfully used magic to make Wuwang's wounds look like they were caused by the demon god, rather than by their trespassing into the Qingchi Palace barrier.
After treating his wounds, Wuxu Wuwang decided to sue Qingchi Palace. Their accusation against Qingchi Palace did not mention their own behavior of trespassing into the barrier, but insisted that Qingchi Palace was bullying others by taking advantage of its power.
Ziyuan and Fengran had always had a grudge against each other. After hearing about this, he decided to take Wuxu Wuwang to Lookout Mountain to attend Donghua's banquet. He thought this was a good opportunity to embarrass Fengran.
At the same time, the heavens spread the news that Hou Chi wanted to attend Donghua's birthday banquet. Although Jing Zhao and Hou Chi were both nominally born to the Queen Wuhuan, in reality, the two did not have much in common. The two fairies discussed Jing Zhao and Hou Chi in private, curious to know who was more beautiful.
Jing Zhao was spoiled and arrogant since she was a child. Although she had never seen Hou Chi, she was full of disdain and disgust for Hou Chi. When she heard the fairy maid compare her with Hou Chi, her anger was instantly ignited. She mercilessly whipped the two fairies to vent her anger.
When Emperor Twilight learned of this, he was very dissatisfied with Jing Zhao's behavior. He severely reprimanded Jing Zhao and ordered her to go to Lookout Mountain with her second brother Jing Jian to celebrate Donghua's birthday.
Jing Zhao was actually very reluctant to attend Donghua's birthday party, but he had no choice but to go because his father had ordered him to do so.
At this time, Feng Ran came to attend Donghua's birthday banquet on behalf of Qingchi Palace. When Ziyuan saw Feng Ran, he immediately mocked her and did not hide his disgust for her. It turned out that when Feng Ran and Jing Yang fought, Ziyuan took the opportunity to sneak attack Feng Ran, and this feud was formed.
Ziyuan and Fengran started arguing with each other, neither of them willing to give in. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Jingzhao quickly stepped out to mediate and calm the dispute.
However, Zi Yuan did not give Jing Zhao any face at all. In front of Jing Zhao and many immortals, he insisted that Feng Ran was colluding with the demon clan. This was a serious accusation! Jing Zhao's face became solemn after hearing this. He decided to take Feng Ran down first, and then slowly investigate the matter.
However, Feng Ran was not so easy to bully. Qingchi Palace was not under the jurisdiction of Tiangong. As a member of Qingchi Palace, how could she allow the people of Tiangong to manipulate her at will? Moreover, she had never colluded with the demon clan, so naturally she would not be afraid of Ziyuan's slander.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, someone suddenly discovered that Feng Ran seemed to have something hidden on her body. After some inspection, it was discovered that it was a fire coral, and this fire coral had the aura of Zi Yuan!
Seeing this, Zi Yuan was secretly delighted. With a little magic, he easily found out that the fire coral was on Feng Ran. Now, he was even more confident and immediately accused Feng Ran of stealing his fire coral.
Seeing this, Feng Ran sneered and told the whole story of Wu Xuwuwang breaking into Qingchi Palace and stealing the fairy spring, and asked Ziyuan to give an explanation to Qingchi Palace.
Jing Zhao has always been arrogant and willful. She doesn't care about a small place like Qingchi Palace. So when she saw Feng Ran in Qingchi Palace, she ordered Ziyuan to take Feng Ran down without hesitation.
Feng Ran naturally would not surrender, she immediately started a fierce confrontation with Zi Yuan in the hall.
At the same time, Hou Chi also learned about the fight between Feng Ran and Zi Yuan in the palace. She knew that her spiritual power was low, and if she rashly went to help, she might not only be unable to help, but also cause trouble for Feng Ran.
However, Hou Chi did not give up. She suddenly remembered a method that could forcibly raise her cultivation to the upper god stage, but this method could only last for a short time and would make her weak for a period of time afterwards. However, for the current situation, this was enough.
So, Hou Chi used this method without hesitation. In an instant, powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanated from her body, surprising everyone around her.
At this time, Donghua happened to pass by here. He was attracted by the powerful spiritual power of Hou Chi and couldn't help but stop to watch. Hou Chi was wearing a divine costume, looking heroic and dashing, which was eye-catching.
Hou Chi appeared in the hall with a majestic attitude. She severely taught Zi Yuan a lesson as a god, making him understand how inappropriate his behavior was. Facing Hou Chi's rebuke, Zi Yuan dared not to be presumptuous anymore and could only listen obediently.
After Hou Chi's reorganization, all the immortals in the hall were in awe of her and bowed to her respectfully. No one dared to look down on her as the supreme deity anymore.
Then, Hou Chi turned his attention to Wuxu and Wuwang, asking them to tell the truth. Wuxu wanted to continue to argue, claiming that Wuwang's injury was caused by people from Qingchi Palace.
However, at this moment, a fairy stepped forward and revealed a key detail: Wuwang's injury was not caused by a real demon, but by a special potion in the market.
All the truth has been revealed, but Hou Chi's anger has not subsided. She decided to ask Tiangong to give her an explanation, after all, what happened today was too much.
However, Jing Zhao was extremely arrogant, and even in this situation, she was still rude to Hou Chi. Seeing this, Hou Chi became even more angry, and she did not hesitate to take action and gave Jing Zhao a severe lesson.
Jingchi Palace is as famous as Tiangong Palace. As a high god, Houchi naturally has the right to punish people from Tiangong Palace. Moreover, it was Tiangong Palace that bullied her first today, so it was completely reasonable for her to do so.
Even if Jing Zhao reported this to Jing Jian, Jing Jian would definitely not be able to protect her. After all, Jing Jian himself knew that Jing Zhao was at fault today, so he could only respectfully say that the Heavenly Palace would definitely give an explanation to the Qingchi Palace, and explained that Jing Zhao was still young and ignorant, so she had offended Houchi.
Hou Chi didn't want to get entangled with these people any longer, because her spiritual power was almost exhausted. She took Feng Ran and quickly left this place of trouble.
On the way back, Hou Chi told Feng Ran about how he damaged his consciousness in order to forcefully use spiritual power. Feng Ran felt worried, but she also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so the two of them sped up and rushed back to Qingchi Palace.
In the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor of Heaven sat high up, his face gloomy, and angrily shouted at Zi Yuan below: "Zi Yuan, do you know your crime?"
Zi Yuan trembled all over, knelt on the ground, and did not dare to raise his head. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
The Emperor of Heaven snorted coldly and said sternly: "As a priest of the Heavenly Palace, you are not diligent, you idle away all day long, and you even collude with the demon world. This is a serious crime that is hard to forgive!"
After saying that, the Emperor of Heaven waved his hand, a golden light flashed, and Zi Yuan's divinity was instantly taken away.
Zi Yuan screamed, his body trembled violently, and he fell to the ground, dying.
Seeing this, the great prince Jing Yang's face changed drastically. He hurried forward to support Zi Yuan, glared at the Emperor of Heaven, and said, "Father, although Zi Yuan made a mistake, his crime does not deserve death! I beg you to spare his life for the sake of his many years of service to the Heavenly Palace!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face became even gloomier, and he angrily said, "Jingyang, as a high prince, you do not think about maintaining the dignity of the Heavenly Palace, but instead plead for this criminal. Do you know that you are wrong?"
Jing Yang met the Emperor's gaze without fear and said, "Father, I have a life-and-death relationship with Zi Yuan. He is definitely not the kind of person who would collude with the demon world. There must be some misunderstanding. Please look into it!"
The Emperor of Heaven snorted coldly and said, "Misunderstanding? The evidence is irrefutable, what else is there to say!"
Jingyang wanted to plead again, but was interrupted by the Emperor's angry shout: "Shut up! You rebellious son, how dare you disobey my order? Come, drag His Highness away and make him kneel for three days!"
Jingyang widened his eyes and looked at the Emperor of Heaven in disbelief. He could never have imagined that the Emperor of Heaven would be so heartless.
At this moment, the Queen suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Jingyang was also impulsive. Please forgive him this time for his young age and ignorance."
The words of the Queen Mother made the Emperor's expression slightly relieved. He glanced at the Queen Mother, then at Jing Yang, and finally sighed and said, "Forget it, for the Queen Mother's sake, I will exempt Jing Yang from punishment."
Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Queen with gratitude, then helped Ziyuan up and slowly retreated.
Hou Chi and Feng Ran came to Optimus Prime, which was a divine object that appeared in the six realms after the human world was formed. It was ten thousand feet high, towering into the sky, guarding the boundary between immortals and demons. It could sense the spiritual power of the six realms when it came to the world, and was not ranked among those who practiced cultivation.
Hou Chi looked at the densely packed names on Optimus Prime and felt a little disappointed because her name was not on it.
Feng Ran seemed to see through Hou Chi's thoughts and comforted him softly, "Hou Chi, don't be sad. The ranking of Optimus Prime may not be accurate. Maybe your strength has surpassed those on the list."
Hou Chi forced a smile and said, "Feng Ran, thank you, I'm fine."
However, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After all, Optimus Prime's ranking was also a kind of recognition and honor for those who practiced.
