OBS Chapter 31 The Blame
Chapter 31 The Blame
At this moment, in the Heavenly Court, outside the South Heavenly Gate.
"Ouch, stop hitting me, stop hitting me. Little Fairy knows she was wrong, Little Fairy knows she was wrong!"
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was rolling around outside the South Heavenly Gate, clutching his head.
On his body, Nezha, with his hair tied in a topknot, rode on his neck, his fists raining down like raindrops.
"Go to hell with your complaining to the emperor!"
Nezha cursed and swore as he fought.
"You old mudfish, I, your humble servant, am willing to take responsibility for my actions."
"It was wrong of me to pull out your son's tendons, but what kind of skill is it to go to Heaven and file a complaint against him?"
"I see your old dragon scales are quite sturdy, so I'll loosen your bones for you today."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Nezha struck with extreme force.
Although the Universe Ring wasn't used, those few punches still made Ao Guang see stars, his dragon scales peel off, and he was covered in blood.
"Nezha, you've gone too far!"
"You killed my son and then humiliated me outside the South Heavenly Gate. I'll fight you to the death!"
Ao Guang was filled with grief and indignation.
He was a powerful local lord, yet he was humiliated by a child. Where could he put his face?
It manifested its true form as a dragon, forcefully overturned Nezha, and transformed into a golden light, escaping from the South Heavenly Gate.
"Pah, you're lucky you ran fast!"
Nezha clapped his hands, looked in the direction Ao Guang had fled, pursed his lips, and leisurely rode his Wind Fire Wheels back to Chen Tang Pass.
Seeing that Nezha was not chasing after him, Ao Guang, who was hiding in the clouds and mist, stopped and looked extremely ugly.
"Good, good Nezha, good Li Jing."
"That brat Nezha clearly knew I was coming to the South Heavenly Gate to complain, and he actually laid an ambush here beforehand."
"Who leaked the news? Only... the Great Shang!"
Ao Guang's thoughts wandered, and he imagined a shocking conspiracy.
"Yes."
"Why was a regular army of the Shang Dynasty on the shore, ready to defend Bing'er when he was murdered at Jiuwan River? Why did Chu Tianhe, a general of the Shang Dynasty, order the killing of the aquatic creatures who had escaped?"
"This is not some children causing trouble at all; this is a long-planned siege by the Shang Dynasty."
"That tyrannical Emperor Xin coveted the fortune of my dragon clan. He actually ordered Li Jing's son to lure and kill Bing'er, and sent a large army to block the news. Even my complaint to the Heavenly Court was part of their scheme."
Ao Guang was so angry that he trembled all over, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
The warning from "Yuan Daoren" resurfaced.
It turns out that the calamity of losing a son and wiping out an entire family should have originated from the Shang Dynasty!
"Since you, Di Xin, are so unrighteous, don't blame me for being unjust."
"It's no use complaining to the Heavenly Court, so I will resolve this according to the rules of the Sea Clan."
Ao Guang turned his cloud around, took out a jade talisman from his bosom, and crushed it.
"Send orders to the three Dragon Kings of the South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea."
"The Shang Dynasty has gone too far in bullying my dragon clan, slaughtering my beloved son and disgracing my reputation. Today, the dragon clans of the four seas have come out in full force to flood Chaoge City."
"I will make that tyrannical Emperor Xin kneel before Bing'er's throne and apologize!"
……
Three days later, in Chaoge, the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty.
The once prosperous capital city is now plunged into panic.
"Oh my god, what is that?!"
The people on the street pointed to the sky in terror.
The once clear sky above Chaoge City was now obscured by thick, dark clouds.
Above the dark clouds, the seawater surged back, and giant waves roared to the sky.
Four colossal dragons, each a thousand feet long, appeared and disappeared amidst the dark clouds. Their dragon might, which descended from time to time, caused countless mortals in Chaoge City to buckle at the knees and prostrate themselves on the ground.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas gathered in Chaoge.
"Emperor Xin, you tyrant, come out here!"
A series of dragon roars echoed over Chaoge City.
The shock caused the glazed tiles of the nine main halls of the imperial palace to shatter.
Inside the palace.
"How dare you, you audacious mudfish, to offend my Chaoge!"
Di Xin slammed his hand on the dragon-shaped writing desk, and the Emperor's fortune erupted, transforming into a phantom of a purple-gold divine dragon, which confronted the four real dragons in the sky from afar.
However, the purple-gold dragon had already had three-tenths of its original essence destroyed by Nuwa, and now, facing the all-out attack of the dragon clans from the four seas, it seemed to be somewhat weakened.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The prime minister Shang Rong, the vice minister Bi Qian, and other senior officials were so frightened that their faces turned ashen and they all knelt down on the ground.
"Old Prime Minister, what are you afraid of?"
"I am the ruler of all under heaven. Immediately issue an order to gather all the great cultivators in the city and shoot down these old mudfish to accompany my wine."
Di Xin roared angrily.
Bi Gan gave a bitter laugh, tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the God of War of the Shang Dynasty, Grand Tutor Wen, is currently leading a large army to quell a rebellion in the North Sea?"
"The Martial King Huang Feihu, who protects the country, is also inspecting the border."
"Currently, in Chaoge City, apart from some mortal imperial guards, there are no generals skilled in divine combat who can stand up to the Four Seas Dragon Kings."
"If we force a war, the waters of the four seas will pour down, and millions of people in Chaoge City will instantly turn into fish and turtles."
Upon hearing this, Di Xin was stunned, and half of his anger was instantly extinguished.
No generals available?
This is awkward.
Just then, Ao Guang in the sky spoke again.
"Emperor Xin, I do not wish to commit further bloodshed."
"If you hand over the culprit who lured and killed my son, Nezha, son of the General of Chentang Pass!"
"And hand over the 'mastermind' who led the troops to blockade the Nine Bends River and massacre my sea tribe's navy... Yin Shang's lieutenant general, Chu Tianhe!"
"Execute these two in public to appease the anger of the people."
"Otherwise, today I will have this Chaoge City completely erased from the map of Kyushu."
silence.
The nine-room hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Di Xin originally thought that the Dragon Clan was making such a big fuss because they wanted to cede territory and pay reparations, or even demand that he abdicate.
So, after all that, this is it?
"Nezha, son of the General of Chentang Pass?"
"And there's another one named... Chu Tianhe's lieutenant?"
Di Xin paused for a moment, then turned to look at the assembled ministers beside him.
"Who is this Chu Tianhe? I don't recognize him at all."
A minister of war hurriedly stepped forward, wiping away cold sweat as he reported.
"Your Majesty, this Chu Tianhe... is the young man Your Majesty just appointed as a lieutenant general a few days ago and sent to patrol the coastal borders."
"Oh, I remember now, that slippery guy who wrote poems to flatter the lonely one and even bumped into the divine bird."
Emperor Xin suddenly realized the truth.
It turns out he was just a minor general with no real power, and the son of a general stationed far away on the border?
Why would we risk our lives to fight the Four Seas Dragon Clan, even at the cost of the entire Chaoge City, for the sake of these two insignificant ants?
Although Emperor Xin was cruel and incompetent, that was only in response to loyal ministers who dared to defy him; he was still able to settle accounts with them.
Without the slightest hesitation, Di Xin waved his hand.
"Convey my decree."
"General Li Jing of Chentang Pass has failed in his duty to educate his son, Nezha, who has indiscriminately killed innocent people. His crimes are unforgivable. Li Jing is hereby ordered to immediately bind Nezha and place him in the execution ground for the Dragon Clan to deal with!"
"Furthermore, Lieutenant General Chu Tianhe is stripped of all military power."
"Immediately dispatch the Chaoge Iron Guards to capture this traitor who has brought disaster to the country and its people, and escort him to the Meridian Gate to await his fate."
"Dismiss the court."
As the Emperor's decree was issued.
Chu Tianhe, far away on the shores of the East China Sea, was dreaming of becoming a disciple of an immortal and being recommended to Kunlun Martial Arts University, unaware of this.
A black pot has been firmly placed on his head.
