Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

Although the heavenly soldiers and generals were tense, they dared not slacken their efforts. They firmly believed that as long as their immortal lord returned, the demon race would not be able to succeed.

Bifang and Taigu Tianying looked at the heavenly soldiers and generals, who were ready for battle, and admired their courage.

"As expected of the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court, they truly have backbone."

Bifang said.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Lord Lin Zhu, I would have torn them to shreds long ago."

"The Ancient Eagle said disdainfully."

Bi Fang rolled his eyes at him and said.

"Don't cause trouble! We're just waiting for Lord Lin Zhu here. Sit still and don't move!"

Just then, a white streak of light rushed towards them.

That person was none other than Venus.

He was startled to see so many powerful demons gathered outside the South Heavenly Gate.

"You audacious fiend! Why are you attacking the Heavenly Court?"

Venus roared, and the whisk in his hand, like a sharp sword, stabbed towards Bifang.

He exerted all his strength, wanting to subdue Bifang in one blow.

However, Bi Fang didn't even glance at him, simply sitting there quietly, letting Venus's attacks fall on him.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, Venus's whisk struck as if it had hit an incredibly hard iron plate, causing it to stagger backward.

He stared at Bi Fang in disbelief. He knew that demons were born with powerful bloodlines and bodies, and Bi Fang was an ancient demon god from the primordial era. His physical body was comparable to a primordial spiritual treasure, and the attack from Venus had no effect on him.

Nevertheless, Venus remained loyal and continued his attack, veins bulging on his forehead as he tried to intimidate the demons with his imposing presence.

"Hey! You monster, get out of here at once!"

Venus roared.

Bi Fang, however, easily teased Taibai Jinxing. He looked at Taibai Jinxing's panting appearance and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey, you old man, stop with the gua sha, it's useless."

Bifang said.

"You're not even strong enough to tickle me."

Venus felt despair. He realized that these powerful demons were too strong for the Heavenly Court to handle.

He was puzzled; these demons seemed to be following some kind of rule, not attacking him proactively.

He guessed that only the appearance of that man (Lin Zhu) could possibly delay the demon race.

However, just as he was about to seek help, Bi Fang and the other powerful demons suddenly opened their eyes.

In their eyes, demonic energy surged forth, its momentum menacing.

The heavenly soldiers and generals inside the South Heavenly Gate were terrified, thinking that these demons were finally about to launch their attack.

Venus was even more disheartened, believing that the Heavenly Court was about to face a catastrophe.

"The Heavenly Court is finished!"

Venus muttered to himself.

Just then, a figure came rushing from afar.

That person was none other than Nezha.

He shouted, ordering the heavenly soldiers and generals to form an array to capture the demon.

"All soldiers, heed my command! Form ranks and capture the demon!"

The appearance of Nezha gave the heavenly soldiers and generals a sense of direction, and they began to arrange their formations to prepare for battle against the demons.

Taibai Jinxing felt wronged because he was teased by Bifang, but the appearance of Nezha brought him some comfort.

Nezha stood at the head of the formation, holding the golden pagoda specially bestowed upon him by Lin Zhu, exuding a high-spirited aura.

He was a general under Lin Zhu, the God of Law Enforcement in the Three Realms, and his status and prestige were elevated.

All the heavenly soldiers and generals were fully focused, preparing to fight the powerful demons.

However, in the midst of the tense standoff, the powerful demons suddenly took a few steps back, facing the distance in unison.

"What's going on?"

Nezha and the heavenly soldiers were confused.

But then they witnessed something that horrified them.

Bi Fang led the way, with the Golden Tortoise of the Abyss and the Primordial Sky Eagle flanking them. The other powerful demons stood in neat rows, bowing respectfully towards the distance and shouting.

"Welcome, my Lord!"

At this moment, Nezha and all the heavenly soldiers and generals were stunned.

The fact that such a powerful demon race expert was greeting their master with such respect meant that the being about to appear would be incredibly powerful.

Venus was in a panic. He sent a heavenly soldier to inform the Jade Emperor, but the soldier pointed ahead and said in shock.

"He's here!"

Venus and the other gods, celestial soldiers and generals all turned around. They saw a celestial lord dressed in white with an astonishingly handsome appearance slowly walking towards them.

He was surrounded by countless rays of rainbow light, and his purple aura stretched for miles. With each step he took, it seemed as if he were stepping to the rhythm of the heavens.

Bi Fang and the other powerful demons sensed their master's aura drawing ever closer, and they bowed even more respectfully, shouting their greetings.

"Welcome, my lord! Welcome, Lord Lin Zhu!"

At this moment, everyone understood.

It turns out that these powerful demons did not come to attack the Heavenly Court, but to wait for their master.

And their master was none other than that white-robed immortal lord.

"Ah! It's so dazzling! How can this man be so handsome? I'm going blind! I'm going blind!"

The gods and immortals were all amazed, stunned by the breathtakingly handsome immortal lord before them.

They realized that, in the Three Realms, only Lin Zhu possessed such beauty.

Some people even recited poems about it.

"Besides you, who else in the world is worthy of wearing white robes, dressed entirely in snow?"

At this moment, the gods and immortals realized that the powerful demon race had been waiting for Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu walked slowly, each step resonating in the hearts of everyone present.

Bi Fang immediately led the powerful demons to respectfully greet them, their attitude completely different from before.

Bifang, Liyuan Golden Turtle, and Taigu Tianying sang in unison.

"He's here, he's here, he's come riding on auspicious clouds! Big brother, heaven, earth, big brother can stand tall and upright! Big brother, wind, rain, big brother can summon wind and rain!"

Then, all the powerful demons bowed to Lin Zhu in unison, paying their highest respects.

This scene left the gods present dumbfounded, especially Venus, whose emotions went from despair to shock, then to ecstasy, and finally culminated in a single sentence.

"Big brother, big brother, welcome! Thank you for returning to Heaven!"

He realized that these powerful demon clan experts were actually Lin Zhu's servants, so he joined the welcoming party without hesitation.

The gods and heavenly soldiers were also stunned; they had never imagined that one person could possess such a powerful influence.

Among this group of powerful demons were demon gods at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, two Great Demon Kings at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortals, and more than a dozen Golden Immortal Demon Kings.

They now treat Lin Zhu with utmost respect, which is unbelievable to everyone.

Nezha exclaimed with delight.

"It's him, it's him, it's him, our hero!" To express his joy, he even sang his own theme song.

"The God of Law Enforcement of the Three Realms has arrived!"

Lin Zhu's appearance instantly eased the tense situation in Heaven. The gods and heavenly soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and marveled at Lin Zhu's power.

Bi Fang respectfully inquired about Lin Zhu's next plans, while Lin Zhu blamed them for causing trouble.

Bifang explained that they had been sitting quietly the whole time, but Venus rushed up to give them a "gua sha" treatment.

Lin Zhu glanced at Venus and understood what had happened.

He waved for everyone to go back, explaining that these powerful demons were laborers he had recruited from the mortal realm, and that they would all be colleagues from now on, so there was no need to be surprised.

The gods and celestial soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another.

They marveled at the power of the bamboo and felt honored to have seen it up close.

Venus breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly remembered that the Jade Emperor wanted to see Lin Zhu, so he quickly told Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu nodded, indicating that he was also going to find the Jade Emperor, and then led the group of powerful demons into the South Heavenly Gate.

After Lin Zhu left, Yang Jian rushed to the South Heavenly Gate in a menacing manner, ready to show off his skills.

However, when he saw the deserted Nantianmen, he was stunned.

Taibai Jinxing awkwardly explained that those powerful demons were actually Lin Zhu's subordinates.

Yang Jian was shocked. He had cultivated for five hundred years to regain his manhood, but he never expected that these powerful demon clan experts were actually Lin Zhu's servants.

He felt incredibly disappointed, as if all his efforts had been in vain.

Lin Zhu led a large group of powerful demons into the Lingxiao Palace. The immortals along the way were so frightened by the soaring demonic aura that their faces turned green and they all retreated.

When had they ever seen such a sight? The powerful aura emanating from the ancient wilderness made their very souls tremble.

However, when they saw Lin Zhu leading the team and these powerful figures standing respectfully behind him, they realized that these powerful demons were actually Lin Zhu's subordinates.

"My God! These powerful demons are actually Lin Yushen's subordinates?"

"The one leading them looks like the legendary primordial demon god Bifang!"

"The Heavenly Court is about to change!"

This shocked the gods even more, and their reverence and worship for Lin Zhu reached its peak.

They knew that Lin Zhu's power had exceeded their imagination.

When Lin Zhu entered the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was sitting upright, and his gaze, which had been majestic at first, instantly became solemn.

He looked at Lin Zhu, then at Bi Fang, Li Yuan Golden Turtle, Tai Gu Tian Ying behind Lin Zhu, and Jiu Feng in Lin Zhu's arms, his eyes filled with shock.

The Jade Emperor was well aware of the status of these powerful figures in the Lich War, especially Jiufeng, who was one of the most powerful witches of the Wu tribe, the younger sister of the ancestral witch Qiangliang, and a terrifying being who once led a calamity.

Bifang was once the servant of the God of Fire and a quasi-saint powerhouse during the primordial era.

The Jade Emperor found it hard to believe that all these powerful figures were now treating Lin Zhu with utmost respect.

"Minister Lin, what's going on?"

The Jade Emperor solemnly questioned Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu explained casually that he had only gone to find a guardian beast for his wife and had brought back some "local specialties" along the way.

"Your Majesty, I was just going to find a guardian beast for my wife, and I also took the opportunity to inspect Beiju Luzhou and brought back some local specialties."

Lin Zhu said.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's expression became extremely complicated.

He looked at Lin Zhu, then at Bi Fang and the others, his heart filled with shock.

Lin Zhu realized that he needed to explain himself properly, otherwise the Jade Emperor might misunderstand.

He then recounted in detail his experiences in Beiju Luzhou, including sensing the aura of the witch demons, patrolling Beiju Luzhou, killing Prince Qita, obtaining the Nine Phoenix Eggs, and subduing powerful demon warriors who volunteered to work there.

After hearing Lin Zhu's explanation, the Jade Emperor was dumbfounded and filled with shock.

He couldn't believe that Lin Zhu was so lucky, bringing back so many powerful demon clan experts from a single trip to the mortal realm.

The Jade Emperor even wavered, wondering if he should abdicate in favor of Lin Zhu.

However, he quickly recovered and asked Lin Zhu if he was sure that these powerful demons had completely lost their memories.

"Minister Lin, are you sure these powerful demons have completely lost their memories?"

The Jade Emperor asked.

Lin Zhu nodded in confirmation, indicating that he had already planted the True Spirit Imprint on them, and they only remembered their own identities, knowing nothing else.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already imprinted them with the mark of true spirit. They will only remember their own identity and know nothing else."

Lin Zhu said.

The Jade Emperor was filled with emotion, lamenting that the once powerful Wu Yao tribe had fallen to such a state.

He realized that if the Lich race were to truly make a comeback, even saints would be afraid.

Since no message has been received from the Sage, it means that these powerful individuals have not truly regained their memories, so there is no need to worry too much.

The Jade Emperor decided to grant these powerful demons celestial titles, giving them official divine positions, and allowing only Lin Zhu to command them.

He also stated that these powerful demons would be given appropriate treatment and would not need to be assigned any other work.

Lin Zhu was overjoyed. He had originally thought that the Jade Emperor would take away some of the powerful figures, but to his surprise, the Jade Emperor not only did not take them away, but also gave them generous treatment.

This filled Lin Zhu with gratitude towards the Jade Emperor.

Lin Zhu turned to Bi Fang and the other powerful demons and said that he would save their wages for them and give them to them when they grew up.

Bi Fang and the other powerful demons showed expressions of astonishment, realizing that Lin Zhu had begun to "exploit" them.

The Jade Emperor secretly noted down Lin Zhu's actions, thinking that he should also learn from Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu explained that he did this to prevent these powerful demons from recovering too quickly and causing a major disaster.

Although they bore the mark of true spirits, Lin Zhu still remained cautious.

In any case, these powerful demons have already received generous rewards from Lin Zhu, so they don't need any wages.

The Jade Emperor continued, saying that he summoned Lin Zhu to inform him that the Western Religion had already begun its operations.

Lin Zhu indicated that he knew this and would be descending to the mortal realm soon.

The Jade Emperor then asked if Lin Zhu, with so many powerful demons under his command, wished to assume the position of Emperor Gouchen ahead of schedule.

"Minister Lin, I see you have so many powerful demons under your command. Do you intend to ascend to the throne of Emperor Gouchen ahead of time?"

The Jade Emperor asked.

Lin Zhu was stunned. Gouchen the Great Emperor, who controlled the North and South Poles and the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, was a powerful figure in the Heavenly Court.

He never expected that the Jade Emperor would offer him this position.

"Your Majesty, this...this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

Lin Zhu said.

The Jade Emperor said he couldn't wait any longer and wanted Lin Zhu to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. As for the wishes of the Great Emperor Gouchen, the Jade Emperor didn't care.

Lin Zhu thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and refused.

He said he wasn't in a hurry and would wait until he had the necessary skills.

"Your Majesty, there's no rush. Let's wait until my strength is sufficient."

Lin Zhu said.

Lin Zhu eventually persuaded the Jade Emperor to relinquish the position of Gouchen Emperor that had been imposed upon him.

On the one hand, Lin Zhu's strength is indeed not enough.

Emperor Gouchen needs to rule over all demons under heaven, and Lin Zhu, after returning from Beiju Luzhou, knows that many secrets are hidden in the world, and there may even be demons like Bifang lurking in the shadows. (End of Chapter)
