After Shajiang Laolong finished stating to the Jade Emperor, the immortals were shocked, it seemed that the dragon clan led by Ao Guang wanted to rebel against the Jade Emperor and did not want to be controlled by the heavenly court.

Emperor Ziwei said angrily: "Your Majesty, please send troops quickly and levy the Dragon King of the Four Seas!"

"Your Majesty, no. Emperor Gou Chen hurriedly said. "The Dragon King of the Four Seas is just criticizing the government behind his back, mainly resenting His Majesty's unfair treatment of the Dragon Clan. Although they are not subject to the control of the Heavenly Court, they have not been shown on the table, and this matter will have to be seen. ”

"Lingbao Tianzun, how do you think this matter should be handled?" the Jade Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't think requisition is the best policy. Lingbao Tianzun said. "It's not okay to wait and see what happens, and ignore it. ”

"That's right!" said Emperor Zhenwu. "Now the three immortals we sent are still in custody in the Crystal Palace. How could the envoys of the Heavenly Court be so humiliated? What's more, they were just passing on His Majesty's holy decree and inviting the four Dragon Monarchs to Pan Taoyuan!"

"Yes, if the Dragon Monarch of the Four Seas is talking behind his back, as long as he does not rebel openly, he can sit back and watch it for the time being. Miao Le Tianzun said. "But now they dare to detain the three angels, is it unbearable! If they ignore it, they will really underestimate the Heavenly Palace. ”

The immortals expressed their stance one after another, and most of them advocated sending troops to the East China Sea to raise the division to ask for the guilt.

"Your Majesty, I think it is still up to Taibai Lao Xian to take a trip, he is a veteran of diplomacy, and he will listen to the reality of the East China Sea. "Emperor Gou Chen said.

"I don't need to. "The Jade Emperor said. "Zhang Guolao, Lu Dongbin, and Uncle Cao Guo were all detained by them, and it was in vain for Tai Bai Xing to go. ”

"Your Majesty, that's different. Emperor Gou Chen said: "The Eight Immortals originally had a festival with the Dragon Kings of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, not to mention that Lu Dongbin is a trouble-causing immortal and unruly person. If there is a conflict in words, it is inevitable that he will be detained by Ao Guang. ”

Piaoranzi listened to the discussion of the Jade Emperor and the ministers, and was always silent. Although he was named emperor, he knew that his experience was shallow, and it was inconvenient for him to participate in the decision-making of the Heavenly Palace.

"Chu Piaoran, I saw you again in the Heavenly Palace. Shajiang Old Dragon moved to Piao Ranzi's side and said in a low voice. "Is it okay to be reckless?"

"The old dragon king has always been good. He is in the Zhaoxian Pavilion and is now a heavenly general. Piao Ranzi replied.

"Brother Chu, congratulations!" Shajiang Lao Long said, he saw that there were only a few first-class members of the Heavenly Dynasty in the Lingxiao Palace, and Piao Ranzi was actually among them, and he must be a high-ranking official.

"Old Dragon King, Lu Dongbin and the three of them, are their lives in danger?"

"Ao Guang imprisoned them, I don't think I dare to kill them for the time being. What's more, the three of them are also immortal bodies, and they may have been wronged. "Shajiang Laolong Road.

The Jade Emperor said to Lingbao Tianzun: "Ao Guang and the other dragon clans, detaining the angels, the rebellion has been made, it is better to eradicate it as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, attack the heart first, and attack the city first. Lingbao Tianzun said. "An immortal should be sent to negotiate. Tai Bai Xing is sophisticated, but he only has literary talents, no martial arts, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas is not convinced, and it is indeed in vain to go. ”

"What about Tianzun's intentions?"

"Appoint an angel and persuade. Lingbao Tianzun said. "If the dragon clan insists on rebelling, take the opportunity to subdue. In this way, the first salute and then the soldiers, and pay equal attention to grace and power, so as not to lose the law of the Heavenly Palace and subdue the Three Realms. ”

"What do you think?" the Jade Emperor asked the ministers.

In addition to Emperor Gou Chen, Miao Le Tianzun, Emperor Guan, Xuandu, Antarctic Immortal Weng, Zhang Tianshi, Xu Zhenren, etc., all agreed with Lingbao Tianzun's intentions and said that it was feasible.

"Hehe, Chu Piaoran, why don't you take a stand?" the Jade Emperor asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if you want me to see, this Dragon Monarch of the Four Seas will not rebel sooner or later, and if he rebels at this time, he must have been bewitched by others. Piaoranzi said. "The old dragon of Shajiang has seen the Dragon King of the Four Seas secretly discussing with a young man, when it is the rebellion of the Open Heaven Sect, it must be guarded against!"

"Chu Piaoran is reasonable!" said the Jade Emperor. "The Dragon King of the Four Seas has been resentful for a long time, and if no one fanned the flames, he would not dare to openly rebel. This matter is strange, there must be a mastermind behind it, and it should be the Kaitian Sect secretly making trouble. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Tianshi said: "Since this is the case, let's immediately send troops to attack the East China Sea Crystal Palace and capture the Demon of the Open Heaven Sect!"

"Hehehe, Master Zhang, the Open Heaven Sect is not an idle person. Lingbao Tianzun said. "Uncle Cao Guo didn't bring weapons, and Lu Dongbin and Zhang Guolao didn't bring weapons out of the Dragon Palace. When they encountered an accident, they may have also encountered a powerful demon of the Open Heaven Sect. ”

"All Aiqing, they still listen to Lingbao Tianzun. "The Jade Emperor said. "I sent another day to pass on my holy decree, and ordered Ao Guang and others to hand over Zhang Guolao and the other three immortals, and to express their apologies and sincerely repent. If the dragon clan should not, I will send a large army to exterminate it and re-establish the Dragon Monarch of the Four Seas. What do you think of this?",

"It's good, but apart from the Tai Bai Xing, where to find this capable immortal?" said Emperor Ziwei.

"There are countless heavenly officials in the Heavenly Palace, and you recommend it. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister looks at the Heavenly Machine Star Monarch and is doing things safely. Xu Zhenren said.

"In the next round, there are some strategies, but the Taoist martial arts are ordinary. "Heavenly Machine Star Monarch said. "If you move your hands, you can't get out of the Crystal Palace. ”

"Xu Zhenren, don't just talk about others, how about you go for a trip?"

"Your Majesty, I slain the evil dragon in the mortal world, fought several times, and killed countless dragon demons. Although those demons died innocently, they were born from the same root, and things hurt them, so I guess it doesn't please to look at me. "Xu Zhenren.

Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gou Chen are one of the four emperors, and they can't lower their status to go to the angels; the thunder god Puhua Tianzun Wen Zhong, Zhang Tianshi, Emperor Guan, and Zhenwu Emperor have strong temperaments and are not suitable for diplomacy; Lingbao Tianzun and Miao Le Tianzun are highly respected, and they can't go; Antarctic Immortal Weng and Xuandu Archmage are not among the ministers of the Heavenly Palace, and they help the poor and the needy, which is considered a courtesy, and the Jade Emperor is even more inconvenient for them to go. There are also several civil servants such as Emperor Wenchang, Wencai is there, Taoism and martial arts are not good, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas may not be willing to put it in his eyes.

The Jade Emperor glanced at the ministers, turned around, and fell on Piao Ranzi. Just as he was about to speak, the old dragon of Shajiang spoke: "Your Majesty, our dragon clan is the immortal of the nether realm, and we dare not work for the Heavenly Venerable and the Emperor." The old minister is a man who is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he is competent for this. “

"Oh, which one, may I ask?"

"Your Majesty, it is this rising star of the Heavenly Palace, Chu Piaoran who is close in front of you. Shajiang Laolong pointed and said.

"Hehehe, that's exactly what I mean. The Jade Emperor smiled. "Shajiang Lao Long still doesn't know, and now Chu Piaoran has already worshiped the heavensman, and has made meritorious contributions to resisting the sunshine demons, and has been named the emperor. ”

"The old minister is in the lower realm, so I thought that he would have extraordinary achievements in the future. "Shajiang Laolong Road. "The minister is willing to go to the East China Sea with Chu Piaoran, persuade Ao Guang to rein in the precipice, and turn back to the shore. ”

"Okay, Chu Piaoran, listen to the seal closely. The Jade Emperor waved at Piaoranzi: "I have appointed you to recruit an angel, on behalf of the Heavenly Court, and have full authority to deal with the rebellion of the Dragon Monarch of the Four Seas." ”

Piao Ranzi never expected that the Jade Emperor would actually send him to the East China Sea, he was very hesitant, he had never been to the Crystal Palace, and he was not at all sure about this errand.

Piao Ranzi's expression, how could he hide it from the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "Chu Piaoran, as the Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, you should also share your worries for me, and everything excuses you, saying that you can't do it well." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm not sure・・・・・・ though. Piaoranzi said.

"Senior Brother Chu is young and promising, even if this errand is not done well, His Majesty will not blame him. Zhang Tianshi persuaded.

"Tianshi Zhang, let me interject, how did Chu Piaoran become your junior brother?" asked the Xuandu Grand Master.

Zhang Tianshi said about the matter of Shucheng, and said: "I promised him that I would take him to worship under the Sanqing Master, but I have not been able to do so far. Now, Taishang Laojun and Yuan Shi Tianzun are already in the Open Heaven Palace. ”

"The two senior brothers went to the Open Heaven Palace, aren't there still this Heavenly Venerables?" Lingbao Tianzun said with a smile. "Chu Piaoran, I'm not presumptuous, I'm willing to accept you as an apprentice. It's just that now that you are an emperor, a handsome man, and a celebrity, I don't know if you are still willing to worship me as a master?"

"This ・・・・・・" happened in a hurry, Piao Ranzi didn't have this idea at the beginning, and now Lingbao Tianzun suddenly proposed it, which made him at a loss.

"Senior brother, Lingbao Tianzun is also one of the three Qings, now in the world, he is a Lingbao faction, and the Taoist is very wide, you worship under him, and you will not insult you. Zhang Tianshi persuaded.

"Chu Piaoran, my beloved son-in-law, Lingbao Tianzun has very few apprentices, you still don't agree, when will you wait?" said the Jade Emperor hurriedly.

"Chu is stupid by nature, thanks to Tianzun who will not give up, it is better to obey his fate than to be respectful. Piaoranzi said.

"Okay, I want to choose a good day to pick an auspicious day and personally preside over Chu Piaoran's apprenticeship ceremony!"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to. Lingbao Tianzun said. "Now the Open Heaven Sect is ready to move, and everything is simple. Besides, I don't like red tape. Chu Piaoran, if you salute me, we will be considered master and apprentice. ”

"That's fine!" the Jade Emperor said, standing up. "Lingbao Tianzun, you sit in this seat, Chu Piaoran, you make a salute, even if the apprenticeship is completed. ”

"Yes!" Piao Ranzi waited for Lingbao Tianzun to sit down, and bowed three times, which was considered the end of the apprenticeship.

Emperor Gou Chen said: "Your Majesty, Chu Piaoran and the old dragon of Shajiang went to the Dragon Palace, I am afraid that Ao Guang and other dragon clans will not be obedient." ”

"I know. "The Jade Emperor said. "I am going to send more and will protect. ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Heavenly Palace will also defend the Baode Pass, and the Heavenly Sect will exchange the Four Saints, if there is no sincerity, they will definitely send troops to come, and they must not be guarded against. "Xuandu Grand Master said.

"However, Chu Piaoran went to the Crystal Palace, and I and the ministers were not at ease. "The Jade Emperor said.

"What's so hard about that. Zhang Tianshi said. "My junior brother, who commands the eight hundred wise men of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, is also a handsome. I think he can be ordered to lead eight hundred Magi to the Crystal Palace. ”

"Well, that's good. The Jade Emperor nodded. "The eighteen kui yuan of the Zhaoxian Pavilion are heavenly generals, as well as fifty-four deputy generals and more than seven hundred heavenly soldiers. Chu Piaoran, you lead the generals to go, and you should be my vanguard officer, and see what Ao Guang and the other dragon clans will do. If the persuasion is ineffective, the surrender will not be successful, even if it is returned, I will reason again. ”

"Yes, yes. Piaoranzi said.

"Come on, give my Demon Sword to the Angel of Chu. The Jade Emperor said, and the palace official took out a sword and handed it to Chu Piaoran.

"Chu Aiqing, this is the sword of Shang Fang given by me, wait for me to act cheaply. The Jade Emperor said, and the curtain dispersed.

After sending off the Jade Emperor, all the Tianzun and the emperor have offered advice to Piao Ranzi, and after discussing for a while, Piao Ranzi resigned to the ministers, returned to Baode Pass, and told the immortals to clean up tomorrow, and go to the East China Sea Crystal Palace after the world.
