560: Chapter 236 Is it Fake_5 560: Chapter 236 Is it Fake_5 Nezha nodded, naturally aware of the gap between himself and the Jade Emperor.
Although he could battle the Great Heavenly Venerate, he felt quite powerless against a Great Heavenly Venerate like the Jade Emperor.
Three days later, Nezha took a deep breath.
He prayed in his heart, hoping that Yang Jian and the others would succeed.
Atop Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong received the Jade Talisman and glimpsed its content, immediately revealing a smile.
Above the Heavenly Court, Taibai received the Jade Talisman.
He secretly summoned several people to meet with the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Upon viewing the contents of the Jade Talisman, Tathagata Buddha and the others were all revitalized.
The Jade Emperor had recruited Yang Jian, and with that, the plan was half successful.
As for the timing Yang Jian chose, even they had not anticipated it, which was quite surprising.
“Is it a bit too early?”
Master Sa asked.
His face was a bit pale, having been severely harmed twice in a row, and even though it was an act, he was genuinely injured.
Master Sa was truly hurt to his vital energy and wouldn’t recover shortly; he needed a longer period to recuperate.
Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment before saying, “Not too early, not too early at all, this timing is just right.
Don’t forget, Yang Jian is only pretending to side with the Jade Emperor.
With the Jade Emperor’s extreme intelligence, as soon as Yang Jian betrays even a slight flaw while working under him, he will be suspected by the Jade Emperor.
It’s better to take action on the day he is officially acknowledged, then the Jade Emperor will never see it coming.”
“The Judicial Deity is indeed very clever.
If that’s the case, let’s take action on the day of the official acknowledgment, but we still need to make some arrangements.”
Gold Star Taibai said with a smile.
“Indeed, we need to divert all the Great Heavenly Venerates around the Jade Emperor.
Otherwise, if the Judicial Deity and their team fail in their assassination, they might be besieged.
What should we do?”
Master Sa asked.
Everyone looked towards the Great Emperor Ziwei, waiting for him to make a decision.
Great Emperor Ziwei thought for a moment and then said, “As soon as the news of Yang Jian’s official recognition breaks, have Ao Zhan lead Taotie and others, while also ordering Taiyi Heavenly Venerate and the Five Elders to muster troops at the border, appearing ready to strike.
I can’t believe the Jade Emperor would remain indifferent.”
Hearing the Great Emperor Ziwei’s words, everyone’s eyes brightened.
Gold Star Taibai laughed, “If the Jade Emperor remains indifferent, we’ll just take action directly, defeat all his subordinates in one fell swoop, and even march straight into Ling Xiao Palace.
That might just solve everything once and for all.”
Hearing Gold Star Taibai’s words, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
At the moment they deceived the Jade Emperor, they had already won most of this battle.
No matter the approach, the Jade Emperor was bound to lose.
Great Emperor Ziwei was greatly inspired; if they could deal with the Jade Emperor first, then tackling the Demon Realm or the Court of Ancient Gods would naturally be much simpler.
Of course, he was well aware that even if they defeated the Jade Emperor and crushed his gathered forces, killing the Jade Emperor this time would still be impossible.
He just hoped that Sun Wukong and the others could severely injure the Jade Emperor, preventing him from being active for a hundred years.
That way, he would have time to accomplish many things.
Everyone was energized and showed excited expressions.
This battle was destined for victory.
Soon, the news of Yang Jian joining the Jade Emperor spread, and simultaneously, the Jade Emperor wanted to recognize Yang Jian as the Second Heavenly Emperor, creating a sensation in the Three Realms.
This was expected yet unexpected among the Immortals of the Three Realms.
Yang Jian had a falling out with the Ziwei Heavenly Court and then turned to join the Jade Emperor.
This surprised many Immortals who had high hopes for Yang Jian’s loyalty, for a loyal official does not serve two masters.
Given Yang Jian’s character, he should not have done such a thing.
But Yang Jian did so, and not just that, he joined the Jade Emperor in such a short time.
This left those Immortals very disappointed.
Meanwhile, another part of the Immortals felt that this was within reason.
No matter the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian, they indeed had a relationship of nephew and uncle.
Yang Jian, abandoned by the Great Emperor Ziwei and joining the Jade Emperor, seemed like something acceptable.
After all, at such times, blood relations seemed more reliable,
Also, some voices offered a different viewpoint.
They believed that Yang Jian intentionally had a falling out with the Great Emperor Ziwei, mainly to infiltrate the Jade Emperor’s side as an undercover agent.
After all, before this, there was no sign of a falling out between the Great Emperor Ziwei and Yang Jian.
This opinion was quickly suppressed by the other two viewpoints.
Many people scoffed and even found it laughable.
They listed the most recent events, along with the Jade Emperor’s strategic combat moves.
Such an undercover story was flimsy and made no sense.
In the view of these people, Yang Jian had no reason to do such a thing.
Rather than be an undercover agent, it was more sensible to assassinate the Jade Emperor.
Of course, Yang Jian likely didn’t have that strength.
“Strongest under The Three Pure Ones” is not just an empty title for the Jade Emperor.
Thus, the voices claiming that Yang Jian was out to assassinate the Jade Emperor were quickly overwhelmed.
Within the Ziwei Heavenly Court, sweat formed on Tathagata Buddha’s forehead.
It had to be said, the onlookers were too formidable; they had managed to see through his schemes.
Tathagata Buddha couldn’t help but complain, “These people aren’t so impressive when it comes to exorcising demons, but their gossip skills are formidable; they nearly ruined our major plans.”
Gold Star Taibai, however, laughed heartily, saying, “Buddha needn’t worry; this makes it even more solid.”
Hearing Gold Star Taibai’s words, Tathagata Buddha’s eyes flashed with confusion.
“How so?”
Tathagata Buddha asked.
Gold Star Taibai laughed and said, “The Jade Emperor is an inherently proud man.
Think about it; if even those gossiping Immortals can understand the situation, how could he believe it?
He would instead think it’s an intentional rumor to sow discord between him and Yang Jian.”
