Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

"Master, it's done!"

Heng Qing looked at the Western King and spoke. Upon hearing this, the Western King looked at Heng Qing, then at the wretched Ren Feng on the ground, and shook his head, saying, "Sigh... are you just going to let him go like this?"

The Western King wasn't stupid; how could he not know what Heng Qing was thinking? She wanted to erase Ren Feng's sins by beating him, especially his involvement in the Eastern King's rebellion.

To put it bluntly, Heng Qing still felt sorry for her younger brother. Even if her brother wanted to kill her, she couldn't bear to see him killed. So she wanted to use her fists to make the Western King give up the idea of ​​killing Heng Feng.

Heng Qing looked at the Western King: "Master Western King, he, he is, after all, my younger brother. I don't want him to die like this."

The Western King looked at Heng Qing, sighed, and said, "Fine, since that's the case, let's lock him up. He may be spared the death penalty, but he can't escape punishment. Otherwise, if everyone rebels in the future, how will we face each other?"

Hearing this, Heng Qing nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't kill him, anything else is fine."

The Western King nodded slightly, then looked around. He was the one who would have to clean up this mess today.

At this moment, the Western King looked around and then spoke loudly: "Fellow immortals, I am Ji Yun. I am sorry to have made you watch such a farce. However, everything has been set right. The Eastern King and his gang intended to rebel, and their intentions were despicable. They have all been executed and deserved their punishment."

"From now on, I will be in charge of all affairs in the Fairy Realm, Elder!"

The Western King looked at the Grand Elder, who also knew it was time to lend a hand. So the Grand Elder clasped his hands in a fist and asked the Western King, "What are your orders, Western King?"

The Western King said to the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, the Immortal Realm is likely to descend into chaos soon. Therefore, we hope that the Grand Elder can lead the Jiuli people to help us restore order."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder said, "Rest assured, since our Jiuli tribe has participated in this matter, we will see it through to the end. For the next half month, all members of our Jiuli tribe will obey His Highness the Western King's orders."

Upon hearing this, the Western King nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder."

Alright, I'll announce a few things next:
"First, starting today, we strip the pseudo-Immortal Venerable Ren Feng of his Immortal Venerable title, while Heng Qing remains the Immortal Venerable of our Immortal Clan."

"Secondly, immediately release all the Western King's subordinates imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and restore them to their official positions."

"Third, all subordinates of the Eastern King, you are given three days to go to the Immortal Venerable's Mansion to confess your crimes and repent. Those who perform well will not be held accountable."

"Fourth, within the Immortal Realm, all war plans must be immediately halted, all war passages within the Immortal Realm must be sealed, and the immortals must remain in their homes and refrain from causing trouble. As for subsequent plans, the Immortal Venerable's Palace will issue a unified notice!"

"These are my orders. Execute them!"

Yes!
The Jiuli tribe shouted, making a great show of force. However, most of the people present were actually the Eastern King's men, but none of them dared to step forward and shout. There was no way around it; both the Western King and the Eastern King were extremely prestigious figures in the Immortal Realm. Now that the Eastern King was dead, only the most loyal followers of the Eastern King would dare to jump out and court death.

Even the most loyal followers of the Eastern King wouldn't be foolish enough to stand up and challenge the Western King directly. After all, without any top-tier fighters, challenging the Western King would be suicide. They weren't stupid; without top-tier combat power, standing up now would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.

Moreover, the Western King was already very considerate; he didn't go to extremes but gave them a chance, saying that if they went to the Immortal Venerable's Mansion to confess their crimes within three days, they would be treated leniently.

This was the olive branch offered by the Western King, who feared that these people would take the risk.

Now that this way out is available, these people no longer need to risk their lives.

After the Western King finished these tasks, the entire Immortal Realm was finally at peace. At this time, the Western King invited Chen Jie, the great contributor, to the Immortal Venerable's Palace.

At this time, the Immortal Venerable's Mansion also prepared a grand welcome banquet. Originally, this banquet was to celebrate Ren Feng's promotion to Immortal Venerable. Unexpectedly, instead of the main person, they were greeted by the arrival of the Western King and his entourage. When the chef saw the Western King and his group swaggering in and taking over the Immortal Venerable's Mansion, he was shocked.

They were quite confused, but the Western King and the others didn't make things too difficult for them. They just asked them to change a few dishes that Heng Qing liked, and then they left the chefs alone.

Just like when the Eastern King took the throne, he didn't touch these chefs.

In fact, coups in the Fairy Realm are very different from coups in the outside world. The most important difference is that coups in the Fairy Realm rarely involve the implication of relatives or relatives, and they don't like to kill many people. They don't even want to kill the mastermind easily.

Why?

The reason is simple: there are too few people in the fairyland, only a little over a thousand. If they were to carry out collective punishment like in the outside world, killing a group of people at the drop of a hat, the fairyland would collapse completely in no time.

Therefore, the ironclad rule of the fairy realm is that no matter how big the matter is, only the ringleader is punished, and even then, the ringleader is not killed but imprisoned permanently. As for the others, they can be spared, because if you really go into detail, they may all be related by marriage up to three generations back.

That is why, after a coup, as long as the ringleader is arrested or killed, the situation is quickly resolved.

And so, Chen Jie sat in the VIP seat at the Immortal Clan's banquet. Both Xi Wang Heng Qing and Chen Jiu Si were very grateful to Chen Jiu Si, especially Heng Qing, who was able to achieve this comeback entirely thanks to Chen Jiu Si.

Without Chen Jiu Si, she would have faced certain death today. But with Chen Jiu Si, she was able to rise from the ashes, regain her position as a celestial being, and safeguard her ancestors' legacy.

Moreover, just today, under such a dangerous situation, Chen Jie saved her twice in a row, so Heng Qing will never forget this kindness.

At this moment, the banquet began. Hengqing raised her glass first and said, "Brother Chen, I want to toast you first. If it weren't for you, I would not be where I am today. To be honest, when Zhang Sanfeng rejected me when I went to Wudang Mountain, I had already given up. I came back thinking that if things really couldn't be set right, I would die with everyone. I never thought that I would actually fulfill my father's wish in the end."

"I won't say anything more, I'll drink this one in one go, thank you."

Hengqing picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing this, Chen Jie also raised his glass and drank with her.

Seeing Chen Jie finish his drink, the King of the West raised his cup and said, "This cup is for you, Master Chen."

Chen Jie looked at the King of the West and said, "King of the West, are you trying to get me drunk by offering me cup after cup of wine?"

Chen Jie was joking, of course. After all, a powerful expert at the fourth level of the Fusion God Realm couldn't be knocked out by just a few drinks. As long as Chen Jiu Si didn't want to get drunk, he could drink a whole vat or ten vats of wine without getting drunk.

So when he said that, it was more of a joke, and the King of the West certainly understood that Chen was making a joke.

He then laughed and said, "Master Chen is truly humorous; his optimistic attitude is something we should all learn from."

Chen Jie remained silent; these were merely polite words. The Western King's expression turned serious as he said, "However, we should still express our gratitude. The Eastern King's rebellion was a devastating blow to our Immortal Realm, nearly causing its collapse and the destruction of our entire Immortal Clan." "Thanks to the great hero Chen's invaluable assistance, which helped our Immortal Clan overcome this crisis, our Immortal Clan has no way to repay you but to make a promise: whenever you need us, please come to our Immortal Realm, and we will do everything in our power to help you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

The Western King looked at Chen Jie and said, "Great Hero Chen, I would like to offer you a position within our Immortal Clan. Would you be willing?"

Chen Jie looked at the King of the West and said, "Oh, his position?"

Xi Wang said, "Don't worry, hero. We have no intention of binding you to our fairyland. We are simply expressing our gratitude for your help."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the King of the West and asked, "I wonder what Your Highness the King of the West is referring to?"

At this moment, the Western King looked at Chen Jie and said, "There has always been a vacant position in my fairyland, but no one has filled it. Why not give it to Hero Chen?"

"Master, are you talking about the Prince of Dai?"

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing glanced at the King of the West, then lowered her head and said, "Perfect, the position of King of Dai is suitable for Brother Chen."

The Prince of Dai?

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder glanced at the Western King and thought to himself, "What a grand gesture! Chen Jiu Si is indeed very powerful. It's understandable to bind such a figure to our own chariot."

Thinking this through, the Grand Elder remained expressionless.

Chen Jie looked at the Western King and asked, "What is this 'King of the Generation'?"

The Western King said, "The title of Acting King is an honorary title, but it carries considerable power. When there is a shortage of Immortal Venerables in the Immortal Clan, the Acting King can decide the identity of the next Immortal Venerable. The status is extraordinary, and even the current Immortal Venerable must show the respect due to a master to the Acting King."

Chen Jie frowned slightly upon hearing this; he understood what the Western King meant.

To put it bluntly, the title of "Acting King" is an honorary title, but it comes with an obligation: if there is a problem with the succession of the Immortal Venerable, he needs to step forward to uphold justice. This is a position of real power, and it also represents right and wrong.

Because if he accepts this identity, then if there is any rebellion in the Immortal Realm in the future, these Immortal Realm successors can openly come to him, and he will also have an obligation to help them.

The Western King wanted to directly tie himself to the Immortal Clan's war chariot and help Heng Qing secure her current position.

Chen Jie thought about it and looked at the Western King. Then he thought to himself, this position is actually not bad, because rights are equal to obligations, and Chen Jie's rights can decide the successor of the Immortal Venerable.

This fairyland is a force not to be underestimated. If they were to leave the fairyland directly, they could easily cause enormous damage to the outside world. That is why Chen Jie's position as acting king is so important. Chen Jie can ensure that the immortal lord he chooses is a conservative and leads the immortals to live peacefully within the fairyland without causing trouble for the outside world.

This will definitely be a help to Chen Jie.

Especially if Chen Jie gains control of the world in the future, a stable Kunlun will be of paramount importance.

Having figured out the key point, Chen Jie looked at the King of the West and said, "I understand what the King of the West means. Since the King of the West has given me such great face, I cannot refuse."

Upon hearing this, the Western King said, "Haha, very well, since that's the case, I will post a notice tomorrow announcing your identity."

Chen Jie said, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, the Western King felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He then looked at the Grand Elder beside him and said, "Grand Elder."

The Grand Elder glanced at the Western King, who said, "The Jiuli tribe was originally a member of the Immortal Clan. Back when the Old Immortal Venerable was alive, he said he would invite you back to the Immortal Clan, but unfortunately the Eastern King has been interfering, and it has never been realized."

"Now that the Eastern King has been executed, we are no longer hindered, and it is the perfect time for the Jiuli tribe to return. Therefore, I ask the Grand Elder to lead the Jiuli tribe back."

"We should treat him with the respect due to a national hero, and I would like to invite the Grand Elder to assume the position of Eastern King. I wonder if the Grand Elder would be interested?"

After the Western King finished speaking, the Grand Elder knew that the Immortal Clan's internal strength had been greatly depleted and they urgently needed to bring in the Nine Li Clan to help, which was why he said those words.

The Western King looked at the Grand Elder, who in turn looked at the Western King and chuckled, “Hehe, I understand what the Western King is saying. However, when the Old Immortal Venerable was alive, he said that when the Jiuli Clan returned, it would be the time when the Little Immortal Venerable and our Little Clan Chief would get married. I wonder if this statement is true?”

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Li Fang, who was sitting next to the Grand Elder, blushed with excitement. He stared at the Western King with wide eyes, afraid that the Western King would not agree.

The elder frowned as he looked at him. He couldn't understand how the old patriarch, such a heroic figure, could have given birth to such a disgraceful child.

The Grand Elder was quite helpless, but the Western King glanced at him and understood his thoughts. As long as Li Fang married Heng Qing, Li Fang would be her husband and could steal some of Heng Qing's Immortal Venerable authority, which would also be considered a way for them to seize power for the Jiuli Clan.

Rights are also a condition for the Jiuli tribe to join the Immortal Clan. Otherwise, why would so many skilled members of the Jiuli tribe work for the Immortal Clan for free?

The Western Queen understood the Grand Elder's thoughts and knew that the Jiuli tribe's inclusion required them to relinquish certain rights. However, since Li Fang had married Heng Qing, she was initially worried that Heng Qing wouldn't be able to control Li Fang. But upon seeing Li Fang's demeanor, the Western Queen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Heng Qing could easily control Li Fang in this state.

Having figured all this out, the Western King chuckled and said, "Of course, no one can break off an engagement made by the Old Immortal Venerable. Since that's the case, let's do it this way. We'll choose a date for the wedding, and then announce that the Grand Elder will assume the position of Eastern King, and that the Jiuli tribe will return. What does the Grand Elder think?"

The Grand Elder thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly and said, "Good, that's just right."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang excitedly stood up and said to Qing, "Qing, I can finally marry you."

Hengqing glanced at Li Fang, forcing a perfunctory smile. Hengqing didn't particularly like Li Fang, but the current situation left her with no choice but to accept it; her marriage had always been a sacrifice for political needs.

Therefore, being able to use her marriage to bring the Grand Elder into their camp wouldn't be a wasted marriage. Having figured this out, Hengqing forced a smile and said, "Yes!"

The marriage was thus settled, and the Western King invited Chen Jie to attend their wedding and serve as their witness. Chen Jie couldn't refuse, but at that moment, he was preoccupied with another matter: the Tiger Soul Blade that had fallen into the abyss! (End of Chapter)
