Everyone in the Heavenly Palace was silent. They had a shocked look on their faces.

To intimidate the Immortals with just a few words. Who could’ve done so?

Jiang Ming did it.

“That’s not right!” An immortal official frowned. “The Heavenly Emperor on your side let the Heaven Court fall in order to plot for the position as a Saint? Sacrificed those who were loyal to him? Even he himself was killed? If he has been killed, what more would his plans be? Isn’t this contradictory? ”

Everyone else looked at Jiang Ming, waiting for his answer. Even if it was merely a story, they thought it was very exciting to just listen to it.

“It’s not contradictory! This is because there are too many peerless forces over there and the experts are even more abundant!” Jiang Ming explained calmly, “In addition to his main body, the Heavenly Emperor has three avatars, and the one who died was just one of them. As for the fallen Heaven Court? It was merely to take the opportunity to wipe out all the spies of the other forces in the Heaven Court. As for his own royal followers? He has hid them earlier, awaiting for an opportunity to strike. ”

“He used his own death and the fall of the Heaven Court as a lure to pull all the forces into conflicts and only had to wait for his chance to emerge as the last one standing!”

“In comparison, aren’t your so-called plans too petty, Cang Xuan?”

Jiang Ming’s voice was sonorous, with hints of contempt.

His remarks were shocking.

“Something’s not right!” Dongfang Changqing shook his head immediately, “If you want to convince all the experts of the world about the death of one of the three avatars, the avatar itself must have the corresponding strength. If one avatar was already so powerful, what about when there’s three of them? What about that Heavenly Emperor’s main body? Equipped with various hidden strengths, plus an eruption of a formation array that could even trap a Saint Lord, what terrifying level of power would that be? Why would he even need to plan such plots to attain the position? He could’ve just forced his way through!”

All the other Immortals nodded in agreement.

‘Such a Heavenly Emperor was too terrifying. Even if he was to confront a Saint Lord, he might be capable of fighting against him. Why would he need such deliberate plans to win over the position? It would be ridiculous for that Heavenly Emperor to do so, unless he was insane.’

Even Cang Xuan thought so.

“Because there are at least hundreds of Venerates that are made known to the world!” Jiang Ming explained.

Upon hearing his remark, Dongfang Changqing was startled. Their great chiliocosm had probably as many Venerate as the world Jiang Ming was referring to. However, most of them were not in the Heaven Court, nor would they enemized Heaven Court.

What if hundreds of Venerates bore different intentions towards the Heaven Court? That would not be easy to deal with at all.

Right this very moment, a loud laughter could be heard echoing. A Great Overarching Golden Immortal came out of the crowd and made his way not far from Jiang Ming. After he greeted Cang Xuan with respect, he looked at Jiang Ming and snorted coldly, “Even if the situation you brought up exists, with the capability of the Heavenly Emperor to control over the general situation of the universe, it is completely possible that he utilize his power to overwhelm the people, divide and deal with the forces one by one. Why would the Heavenly Emperor plan to destroy the forces under His Majesty’s own control? After all, His Majesty would be all mighty. If such a Heavenly Emperor really exists, then he’s an idiot for sure.”

“However, I’m sure your remarks are fake! You are just trying to divert your heinous crime with such a shocking and mind blowing story!”

“You first killed the Immortal King Gou and almost killed the god of war Yin Zhan.”

“In the Heavenly Palace, you even lawlessly kill Hu Sanpao and Bai Liu. What arrogance and madness is this?”

“Jiang Ming, do you really think that with just a few words, you can negate your guilt? You’re just thinking too much!”

“We listened to all that you had to say just for mere entertainment.”

“You’re just a mortal who’s about to die! A lowly creature barking wildly like a dog! Ridiculous!”

“Your Majesty, please allow me to kill this person in order to justify the majesty of the Heaven Court!”

This person was careless and eloquent. Right after he finished speaking, he bowed down with respect to Cang Xuan.

Jiang Ming looked over and learned that he was called Shi Xiangtian. He got a hold of his Dao from a divine mountain and was a loyal subordinate of Cang Xuan. He naturally stood up when he saw His Majesty being humiliated.

The rest of the Immortal officials also condemned Jiang Ming one after another and more came forward wanting to put down Jiang Ming on the spot.

Cang Xuan said, “Jiang Ming, what you said is reasonable and well-founded, but it is too far from reality. If there is such a Heavenly Emperor in the world who cannot sanctify the way of Dao, this means that the path of the Saint will be a dead end for us. There is no need for you to argue any more. Killing the Immortal King and beheading the two Immortal Officials are heinous crimes and you should be punished with death penalty. Do you plead guilty? ”

In fact, Cang Xuan was very restless himself. He inexplicably believed that Jiang Ming’s remark was true.

To think that such a powerful Heavenly Emperor, who even damaged himself into the plot of achieving the Saint Realm, was simply incredible.

‘Alas, the road towards the Saint. Is it really that difficult? Fortunately, there are not that many forces on my side that I have to deal with. I’m very lucky. Very lucky indeed. However, why does this kid remain so calm? This is not normal! Anyway, to prevent having too many nightmares at night thinking about this kid, and to prevent him from exposing my other secrets, I’d better kill him first. But as the Heavenly Emperor, I need to remain calm and collected.’

“If you want to kill me, then I’ll kill you in return. Where is the guilt in that?” Jiang Ming continued with a smile. “Cang Xuan, I haven’t finished yet. Are you getting impatient already?”

“Fellow Taoist Jiang, please refrain from your lies. You’ve caused us to take you much lighter.” Dongfang Changqing said solemnly, “What is your intention?”

“I don’t have any intention!” Jiang Ming said, “It’s just simple. Because Cang Xuan wants to deal with me, I’m exposing his secrets. For example, the conflicts between Tai Xuan Gate and the God Clan was all because of his secret intervention. Tai Xuan Gate is dominated by the human race, and the God Clan likes to eat humans. As such, there’s the contradiction. ”

Cang Xuan’s brows suddenly twitched, as his heart skipped a beat.

‘How does he even know about this? God damn it! Why do I get the feeling that I’m stark naked in front of him? I can’t let him continue talking any longer. If this goes on, he might even spill out the number of the Immortal Kings’ wives that I had affair with! However, I’m the Heavenly Emperor! If I become impatient now and give out the order to kill him right now, wouldn’t it look like I’m actually admitting to it? Damn it! This is mind numbing! Why aren’t they taking any action but instead enjoy listening to the whole story? Damn it!’

Jiang Ming continued, “The Sacred Sect is relatively united, hence difficult to deal with. However, you still managed to find an opportunity. Upon discovering Yu Xin of the Sacred Sect journey around the world, you divided your soul into creating a reincarnation of yourself, got her to fall in love with you and gave birth to a son called Yin Zhan. After making him escape by faking his death, you secretly took in Yin Zhan as your disciple, so that you could intervene with the Sacred Sect in the future. It’s such a pity! For the sake of your scheme, you even led your wife to death! ”

“Tsk tsk…Such ruthlessness!”

“When the Sacred Sect was hunting down Yu Xin, you secretly led them into making enemies with the human race so that it’d be easier for you to deal with them in the future. After all, although the human race is relatively scattered, there are a lot of them in numbers and there are also many experts among them!”

“Cang Xuan, am I right?”

The moment when Jiang Ming finished his sentence, the Immortals in the hall were in an uproar.

The incident about Yu Xin back then had been widely spread. Although it had been a long time, the incident was still brought up from time to time as people lamented her tragic encounters.

If what Jiang Ming had said was the truth, then that would make Yin Zhan the son of the Heavenly Emperor.

This seemed to make quite some sense.

The origin of Yin Zhan was a mystery. He was very powerful from birth and his cultivation base improved quickly as well. He had always been placed in the Heaven Court’s departments that held great authority and he was especially favored by the Heavenly Emperor.

‘This may be true!’

Dongfang Changqing knew of more secrets than the rest. He knew how big of a trouble it was back then.

Even the human race dispatched several great monarchs to fight against the Sacred Sect, but the Heaven Court was merely observing the battle.

Furthermore, Yu Xin was just one person. With the Sacred Sect’s resources, they could’ve easily captured her. Yet, why was it that the trouble was made known throughout the world? The Sacred Sect ended up having their pride grazed and even formed a deadly feud with the human race.

He didn’t think much about it when it happened. Now when he started to think about it, perhaps it was indeed His Majesty who was the culprit behind the scene.

‘If this matter is true, then the other things that fellow Taoist Jiang has said… Could they be…?’

Dongfang Changqing’s expression changed instantly.

“How dare you!” Shi Xiangtian was furious. “You brat! It seems that you know you are done for and so you are deliberately slandering His Majesty. With His Majesty’s nobility as the Heavenly Emperor, how could he have done such a filthy deed? In my opinion, you are not a foreigner at all, but a suicidal soldier secretly nurtured by some secluding forces. You’re just showing yourself now to break down the unity among us, to discredit His Majesty and to render the world in chaos! How malicious can your heart be! ”

“Your Majesty, I will kill him first and then plead guilty later!”

A divine ax appeared in Shi Xiangtian’s hand as he immediately slashed towards Jiang Ming.

“Your subordinate is requesting to engage in battle!”

“Your subordinate is requesting to engage in battle!”

…

In a blink of an eye, more than ten voices echoed throughout the palace as they charged forward along with Shi Xiangtian to attack Jiang Ming ruthlessly.

The Heavenly Emperor watched the whole exchange indifferently with immense killing intent already boiling in his heart.

‘This kid must die!’
