Chapter 207: The Rebellion of Gou Chen, the beginning is the end!
"No doubt about it, he is the Demon Saint Bai Ze!"

Taiyin Xingjun said firmly.

She is a elder of the ancient demon court, and is naturally very familiar with Bai Ze Demon Saint, who is ranked first among the ten demon saints in the demon court.

Sure enough, the subsequent dialogue between Emperor Mikado and Bai Ze in the scene also proved this point.

In the picture, the Demon Saint Bai Ze is having a pleasant conversation with the Emperor of Heaven, and they seem to be discussing some conspiracy, while the unconscious "Princess Yao Ji" is ignored aside.

This scene left all the immortals and gods present dumbfounded. They began to realize that all this was not accidental, but an unknown collusion between the Emperor Tianhuang and the Demon Saint Bai Ze.

The Emperor's body began to tremble. He knew that his crimes could no longer be covered up. His reputation, his status, and everything he had would be ruined.

He glared at Yunhua fiercely, wishing he could tear her into pieces, but he was powerless to do anything.

But Lord Haotian had a calm expression on his face, as if he had already expected all this.

The entire heaven fell into silence, only the images in the image beads were still playing, exposing the collusion between the Emperor of Heaven and the Demon Saint Bai Ze.

At this moment, the Emperor's heart was filled with regret.

"Gou Chen! Do you have anything else to say?"

The voice of Lord Haotian echoed in the Heavenly Palace like thunder. His eyes stared at the Emperor Tianhuang coldly, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty: "Gou Chen, you colluded with the remnants of the demon race and attempted to cause chaos in the Heavenly Palace. Your crime is unforgivable!
From today on, you are dismissed from your position as the Emperor of Heaven, banished from Heaven, and will never be allowed to return!"

There was a sudden commotion in the Heavenly Palace, with all the immortals and gods discussing each other.

Some immortals and gods applauded, thinking that the decision of Lord Haotian was the embodiment of justice in heaven; others frowned and shook their heads, thinking that the punishment was too harsh.

After all, the Emperor was once the Lord of Heaven and had made contributions to Heaven. Such treatment seems a bit too harsh.

"This is the deserved end. What Emperor Gou Chen did is truly outrageous!" said an immortal general indignantly.

"But he is a elder of the Heavenly Court after all. It would be too much to demote him like this..." Another immortal king seemed hesitant.

Just as the immortals and gods were discussing, the Emperor of Heaven suddenly roared, his voice full of anger and unwillingness: "This is all a conspiracy! This is all deliberately designed by Lord Haotian and Princess Yaoji to target me!!!

I don't accept it!"

His voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Palace, but no one dared to respond. Even his own Marshal Black Killer lowered his head and dared not speak.

Collaborating with the remnants of the demon clan is a serious crime and has caused the Emperor to lose all support.

His resistance was just a futile struggle.

Lord Haotian said coldly: "Gou Chen, your crime is clear. In front of everyone, do you still want to quibble?"

The Emperor's body trembled, and his eyes revealed deep despair.

He knew that his end was coming and everything he had in heaven would become a thing of the past.

A hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the Emperor. He knew that he had no way out. The hatred in his heart was like a raging fire, burning away the last of his sanity.

"Go to hell!"

He roared suddenly, and his figure disappeared like a ghost in the sight of the immortals and gods. The next moment, he appeared beside Yunhua, and his right hand turned into a sword with destructive power and pierced straight into her heart.

However, Lord Haotian reacted even faster. His brows were furrowed and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

His figure swayed slightly in the air, as if the world was turned upside down, and he instantly switched positions with Yunhua and her son, blocking the fatal blow from the Emperor of Heaven.

"Gou Chen, you are courting your own destruction!"

Lord Haotian roared angrily and flipped his hand. A dark green pagoda appeared out of thin air. It was thirty-three stories high and radiated a boundless pressure that seemed to be able to suppress the immortal existence throughout the ages.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven's expression changed, he knew that this was the Haotian Pagoda of Haotian God, an unrivalled divine weapon used to suppress the destiny of the Heavenly Court, and it was extremely powerful.

The uneasiness in his heart rose up instantly, but it disappeared in an instant and was replaced by anger and hatred.

Lord Haotian waved his hand and the pagoda instantly grew larger, like a huge mountain, covering the Emperor Tianhuang.

The space inside the pagoda was distorted, and the figures of the two disappeared from the sight of the immortals and gods. Only the mysterious light flashing on the outer wall of the pagoda remained, indicating the fierce battle inside.

Inside the pagoda, the battle between Lord Haotian and Emperor Tianhuang was extremely fierce.

Each attack of the two quasi-saints contained the power of the Great Dao. The power of the two constantly collided inside the pagoda, making a deafening roar.

If it weren't for the Haotian Pagoda, the vibrations that escaped would be enough to shatter all the immortals and gods present.

The figure of Lord Haotian in the pagoda was like a god. Every step he took seemed to shake the universe, while Emperor Tianhuang fought back madly like a trapped beast. His attacks were full of violence and desperate determination.

Outside the pagoda, a group of immortals and gods looked at the pagoda nervously, holding their breath. They knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the future of heaven.

The battle in the pagoda became more and more intense. Every collision made the roar of the Emperor more shrill, as if he wanted to turn all his regret and anger into sound waves to tear the sky apart.

To the gods and immortals from the outside world, the Haotian Pagoda was shaking violently, and every tremor caused an indescribable fear to surge in the hearts of the countless gods and immortals present.

They didn't know what kind of earth-shattering battle had taken place inside the pagoda, but every vibration made them feel that the foundation of heaven seemed to be shaking.

Marshal Heisha stood in the crowd. His face looked extremely ugly, and his eyes were flashing with anxiety and panic.

He knew that if the Emperor was defeated, he, as a general under his command, would probably be doomed as well.

His palms were sweating and he was very nervous, but he could do nothing but wait silently for the outcome of the battle in the pagoda.

In contrast to him was Marshal Tianpeng who was standing aside. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time and at this moment he clenched his fists with excitement.

The battle in the pagoda continued. Haotian God's face remained calm, but the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.

He had his hands behind his back, the laws of the universe surrounding him, and a noble golden sword hovering above his head, his power as the master of heaven was unmistakable.

The roar of the Emperor of Heaven became weaker and weaker, and it was obvious that he was gradually losing his advantage under the powerful suppression of the Lord of Heaven.

The vibration of the pagoda also began to weaken, and it was obvious that the battle was coming to an end.

Finally, with a loud roar, the shaking of the pagoda stopped completely.

The roar of the Emperor came to an abrupt end, and everything fell silent.

All the immortals and gods were staring at the pagoda, waiting for the final result.

As time passed, the fluctuations in the pagoda gradually subsided, and eventually calm returned.

The figure of Lord Haotian slowly walked out of the pagoda, his divine robe fluttering without wind, the anger in his eyes had subsided, replaced by a hint of majesty. As for the Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gou Chen, he had disappeared, apparently having been subdued by Lord Haotian, and his fate was self-evident.

The voice of Lord Haotian sounded again: "There will be no rebellion in Heaven! General Gou Chen has been suppressed in the pagoda by me. When he wakes up, I will let him go.

From today on, the Heavenly Palace will return to its former Qingming Festival."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Taibai Xingjun stood at the head of all the gods, his eyes sparkling with admiration. He spoke first, his voice loud and clear: "Your Majesty Haotian is wise and powerful. Today, he put down the rebellion of Gou Chen in one fell swoop, preventing it from causing irreparable losses. It is a blessing for the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms!"

As soon as the words fell, voices of praise rang out in heaven.

A group of gods and immortals spoke one after another, singing praises, and their voices merged into a mighty tide, echoing in the Heavenly Palace.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and is a blessing to the three realms!"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye and can see through Gou Chen's conspiracy at a glance!"

"..."

Ever since the merger with the Emperor of Heaven, the prestige of the Lord of Heaven has been rising rapidly. Now that he has personally suppressed the Emperor of Heaven who was against him, his prestige has reached its peak.

The gods and immortals present had an even greater reverence for Lord Haotian.

At the same time, the immortals and gods who once obeyed the Emperor of Heaven were feeling uneasy. They were worried that their past actions would be held accountable, and that if they were implicated, they would suffer misfortune.

Lord Haotian stood in front of the pagoda, his eyes swept over the immortals and gods present. His voice was like the sound of nature, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty: "There is no room for betrayal in the heavenly court. However, the Gou Chen Rebellion was ultimately his personal act and had nothing to do with others.

Let bygones be bygones.

From today onwards, bygones will be forgiven.

I hope that all of you can perform your duties, jointly maintain the peace and order of the Heavenly Court, and create a prosperous Three Realms."

These words were like a gentle spring breeze, which relieved the worried immortals and gods. Relieved smiles appeared on their faces, and they expressed their gratitude and loyalty to the Lord Haotian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity!"

"Your Majesty is merciful. We will do our duty faithfully and live up to your expectations!"

In the Heavenly Palace, the atmosphere became harmonious for a while. The magnanimity of Lord Haotian won the hearts of all the immortals and gods, and also brought new hope and vitality to the Heavenly Palace.

Lord Haotian nodded slightly. He knew that although many immortals and gods had obeyed the orders of the Emperor of Heaven before, it did not mean that these immortals and gods could no longer be used by him!
At this time, Taibai Xingjun spoke again, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is Princess Yaoji's credit that we were able to see through Gou Chen's conspiracy in time this time.

Although she made mistakes before, her contribution this time cannot be erased. I beg Your Majesty to forgive her crime to show that Your Majesty is fair in rewarding and punishing!"

Lord Haotian frowned slightly, his eyes swept over Taibai Xingjun and Princess Yaoji, then he spoke slowly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice: "Merits are merits, faults are faults, how can merits and faults offset each other?
She violated the Heavenly Law first, if we just exempt her from the crime, then where does the Heavenly Law stand?"

When Taibai Xingjun heard what Haotian God said, if he didn't know that it was the other party's instruction, he would have thought that the other party really didn't want to pardon Princess Yao Ji's crime.

At that moment, he pleaded again, "Your Majesty, Princess Yaoji's achievements this time are truly a significant contribution to the Heavenly Court.

She was able to expose Gou Chen's conspiracy in time and protect the safety of the Heavenly Palace. This contribution should be recognized."

Some smart ones among the immortals and gods had already guessed something when they saw Taibai Star Lord before. When they saw him speak again, they immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

Taiyin Xingjun was the first to step forward and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Princess Yaoji's contributions are obvious to all! Even if she did violate the Heavenly Law, her contribution to the Heavenly Court is real.

Your Majesty should clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. How can you only punish severely without rewarding? Wouldn't that make the immortals feel disheartened?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive Princess Yaoji's crime!"

"I beg your Majesty to show mercy!"

"..."

Many immortals and gods pleaded for mercy.

Seeing this, the expression on Lord Haotian's face gradually eased. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I naturally know Princess Yaoji's contribution this time, and I understand the intentions of all my beloved ministers.

However, the laws of heaven cannot be abolished, and I will make my own fair judgment on Princess Yaoji's fault. "

When Taibai Xingjun and the immortals and gods heard the words of Haotian God, although they were still a little uneasy, they also knew that Haotian God did not directly refuse, which at least left a glimmer of hope.

Lord Haotian's gaze fell on Yunhua again, and his voice softened a lot: "Yao Ji, you violated the Heavenly Law, I should have banished you to the mortal world and suppressed you for a thousand years as a punishment!
However, considering that you have indeed done meritorious service to the Heavenly Court this time, and that the immortals have interceded for you, I will forgive your punishment!"

Yun Hua was moved when she heard this. She bowed deeply to Lord Haotian and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Yao Ji will definitely remember it in her heart."

The two brothers Yang Zhao and Yang Jian stood aside, and when they heard the words of Lord Haotian, they showed joy on their faces.

Yang Jian had a childish temper, and he was always careless and outspoken. In his excitement, he shouted loudly: "Uncle, you are so awesome!"

Yang Zhao was startled when he heard his brother calling him. He quickly stepped forward, gently pulled Yang Jian's sleeve, and whispered, "This is the Heavenly Palace. We have to call him Your Majesty."

When Lord Haotian heard Yang Jian calling him by his name, his eyebrows slightly raised, but then he smiled, waved his hand, and said magnanimously: "It's okay, you are my nephews, and now we are not in a court meeting, just call me uncle."

When the two brothers heard what Lord Haotian said, the tension in their hearts immediately dissipated a lot. Yang Zhao bowed his head gratefully and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Yang Jian smiled even more brightly, not hiding his joy: "Uncle, you were so handsome just now when you suppressed that damn Emperor Tianhuang!"

God Haotian smiled. These two children are better at speaking and more lovable now than when they were little!

At this time, Marshal Tian Peng came up, with a bit of worry in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what should we do with Master Taiyi now?"

Lord Haotian turned his gaze to Yunhua, who nodded slightly, and the brother and sister seemed to have a brief exchange of words.

Afterwards, Lord Haotian said sternly: "Taiyi Zhenren was abducted by Gou Chen, but it was also a mistake made by my Heavenly Court after all... My dear Minister Chang Geng, you should personally lead people to send him back to Kunlun Mountain and explain the cause of the matter clearly. Don't let the Saint of the Chan Sect misunderstand my Heavenly Court because of this!"

Upon hearing this, Taibai Xingjun Li Changgeng nodded quickly: "As you command, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he took a few divine generals with him and carried down the seriously injured Taiyi Zhenren.

Lord Haotian thought of something again, looked at Marshal Tianpeng and ordered: "Tell the three realms to hunt down the remnant of the demon court, Bai Ze, at all costs!"
