#1995 - Heaven's Support
Among the gods of the Heavenly Court, there was no shortage of those with fiery tempers. Thunder God, the Heavenly Lord of Universal Transformation, directly stepped forward and said to the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Western Heaven is truly being too欺人太甚 (qī rén tài shèn - bullying people excessively). I am willing to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to the Western Heaven to demand an explanation."
Thunder God, the Heavenly Lord of Universal Transformation's words, also resonated with the gods, and one after another stepped forward.
"This humble general is willing to go, please grant your Majesty's permission."
"This humble general is willing to be the vanguard to uphold the dignity of the Heavenly Court."
"This humble general is willing to fight the Western Heaven to the death."
The gods of the Heavenly Court were filled with righteous indignation, and many volunteered to go to the Western Heaven to demand an explanation from them for the Heavenly Court.
Although the Jade Emperor was also very angry, looking at the gods who volunteered, his expression also seemed very troubled.
"Beloved ministers, this matter cannot be acted upon rashly."
As the Jade Emperor spoke, he glanced at Chu Hao, naturally hoping that Chu Hao could step forward and stabilize the emotions of the Heavenly Court's gods.
"Everyone, I can understand your feelings, but as the Jade Emperor said, this matter cannot be so rash.
If we go directly to the Western Heaven to demand an explanation, the Western Heaven may not admit it. Without substantial evidence, relying solely on the words of mortals will not be convincing.
Secondly, currently, the strength of our Heavenly Court, the Western Heaven, and the Demon Clan are all in a period of balance.
If we easily start a war with the Western Heaven, wouldn't that give the Demon Clan an opportunity to take advantage of? This would also be detrimental to us."
Chu Hao stepped forward and explained the advantages and disadvantages to Thunder God, the Heavenly Lord of Universal Transformation, and the others who volunteered.
In fact, this was also the Jade Emperor's dilemma. Under the current situation, it was not appropriate for the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven to erupt in direct conflict.
"Could it be that this matter will just be left at that?"
Although what Chu Hao said made sense, the gods of the Heavenly Court were somewhat unable to swallow this breath of anger in their hearts.
"What the Prison God said is very good, then the following matters will be handed over to the Prison God for full command, and our Heavenly Court will cooperate with him from top to bottom."
Chu Hao's words also entered the Jade Emperor's heart, and the Jade Emperor was naturally very happy to grant Chu Hao the right to command.
Chu Hao came to the Heavenly Court not to make the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven go to war, but to obtain such power.
Obtaining such power is equivalent to obtaining the full secret support of the Heavenly Court.
Although Chu Hao himself could compete with the Western Heaven, the Heavenly Court has the right to manage wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and seasonal changes, which is very important.
After the gods dispersed, the Jade Emperor left Chu Hao behind to discuss matters separately.
In fact, it was the Jade Emperor who was slandered by the Western Heaven this time. He was the most angry person, but he had to suppress his anger for the sake of the Heavenly Court's grand plan.
"Chu Hao, ah, I wonder what your plan is?"
The Jade Emperor asked Chu Hao, wanting Chu Hao to talk about how to deal with the Western Heaven.
"The Western Heaven is playing with this conspiracy, nothing more than to damage the prestige of our Heavenly Court and expand their own influence.
Since this is the case, then we will let them lift a stone and smash their own feet, and let them taste the taste of slapping themselves in the face."
Chu Hao replied to the Jade Emperor, and briefly told the Jade Emperor about his plan.
"Haha, very good, very good, as expected of my Prison God. If this matter is accomplished, I will reward you handsomely."
The Jade Emperor asked about Chu Hao's plan, just wanting to know whether the final result could satisfy him.
Knowing Chu Hao's arrangement, the Jade Emperor naturally nodded with satisfaction. Such a result was enough to relieve his anger.
Chu Hao left the Heavenly Court to reunite with Sun Wukong and the others.
At this time, Sun Wukong and the other two were not far from Fengxian County. Chu Hao arrived and explained the results of the trip to the Heavenly Court to the three of them.
"Brother, Master is just a mortal. Being able to handle the affairs of Fengxian County to this extent is already the limit. Next, it's up to us."
Sun Wukong said to Chu Hao, Tang Seng, no matter what, is just a mortal.
Exposing the conspiracy in Fengxian County and helping the magistrate to destroy the Dharma is already the limit of what a mortal can do.
The destruction of the Dharma in Fengxian County will inevitably lead to questioning from the Western Heaven, and Tang Seng will find it difficult to deal with this.
"That's right, boss, let's hurry up and get on the road, I'm starving."
Zhu Bajie was also looking forward to arriving at Fengxian County early so that he could have a vegetarian meal.
Chu Hao and Sun Wukong and the other three sped up and headed towards Fengxian County.
Although the people of Fengxian County are not friendly to monks after the destruction of the Dharma, Chu Hao and the others were not affected in any way when they entered the city.
Because Chu Hao was not dressed in Buddhist attire, and although Sun Wukong and the other three were dressed in Buddhist attire, their appearance was too strange and they did not look like monks at all.
They knew the whereabouts of Tang Seng, so they went directly to the magistrate's mansion in Fengxian County.
In the magistrate's mansion, Tang Seng and the magistrate were also discussing the next plan, and Tang Seng was still a little worried about this.
Although he had notified Chu Hao and asked Chu Hao to invite the Heavenly Court as a backer, he did not know how the Western Heaven would act.
Based on the Western Heaven's insidious and ruthless nature, if they suddenly attacked Fengxian County or brought down some calamity as revenge, that would not be something that ordinary mortals could bear.
"Your Excellency Magistrate, there is someone outside looking for Elder Tang."
At this time, someone came in to report to the magistrate.
Hearing such a report, Tang Seng also knew that Chu Hao and the others had arrived. With Chu Hao and the others here, even if the Western Heaven wanted to play tricks, it would not be so easy, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Magistrate, those who have come are this poor monk's disciples and a superior celestial being."
Tang Seng said to the magistrate, explaining the identities of Chu Hao and Sun Wukong and the others.
"So it is that Elder Tang's esteemed disciples and a superior celestial being have arrived, I will immediately arrange to welcome them."
The magistrate said with great joy. In the magistrate's eyes, Tang Seng was already a wise man, so what kind of role would someone who Tang Seng called a superior celestial being be?
The magistrate put on a grand display and welcomed Chu Hao and Sun Wukong and the other three into the magistrate's mansion.
Sun Wukong and the other three, upon seeing Tang Seng, naturally had some words of longing to say.
"Celestial Chu Hao, I wonder how the situation is?"
Tang Seng asked Chu Hao, wanting to know the meaning of the Heavenly Court.
"Everything has been arranged properly, but this matter must be carried out in secret. I estimate that next, the people from the Western Heaven should arrive soon."
Chu Hao said presumptuously. Tang Seng helped the magistrate to destroy the Dharma, which directly touched the interests of the Western Heaven, so how could they sit still?
The Western Heaven will soon send people to question the magistrate, as for Tang Seng, the Western Heaven naturally does not yet know that Tang Seng is here.
"The Western Heaven will question us!"
The magistrate was startled when he heard what Chu Hao said.
