The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 54 Confrontation
What made Vaisravana feel relieved was that the two emperors did not continue to make things difficult for him, the little gatekeeper god.

Emperor Donghua said in a deep voice, "You're being too nosy. I just want to take my disciple away."

Emperor Ziwei said calmly, "I am the Lord of all stars. These Star Lords in the Heavenly Court should obey my orders, unless they no longer serve as Star Lords."

Emperor Donghua frowned. He could hear the meaning of Ziwei Emperor's words, which was that he wanted his disciple to give up being the Wood Deity.

But this is the position of the main god in charge of a part of the heaven, how can I give it up!

Seeing him frown, Ziwei Emperor said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for the Heavenly Emperor's decision."

At this moment, with the two emperors confronting each other, the fight in the Imperial Stables seemed to become less important.

But Ao Lie did not stop. He knew that if Lord Mude ran away, the confrontation would be lost!

It didn't take long before the Emperor of Heaven's Eight-Scenes Luanchariot and Nine-Light Treasure Canopy, accompanied by mysterious songs and wonderful music and countless divine chapters, came from the depths of the Heavenly Palace.

In addition to a group of immortal officials and generals standing on both sides, there are also fairy maidens scattering precious flowers and spraying auspicious air in front of the Emperor of Heaven. There are so many strange phenomena that people can't help but worship them.

The Emperor of Ziwei and the Emperor of Donghua bowed their heads in greeting, while the Heavenly King of Wealth knelt down with his heavenly soldiers to pay homage.

But the struggle within the Imperial Stables continued.

Taibai Jinxing, who was accompanying the Emperor of Heaven, took a step forward in the air and coughed, "Alright, everyone stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of hybrid dragons lowered their heads, transformed back into Pegasus, and returned to their respective troughs.

The four-clawed golden dragon that Ao Lie transformed into turned into a human form and saluted the emperor, saying, "Greetings to His Majesty the Jade Emperor."

The remaining Wood Deity remained silent in the same place, as if his anger had disappeared and he had given up struggling. Finally, he stepped forward to pay his respects to the Emperor of Heaven.

But the Emperor of Heaven did not give him a chance.

The Jade Emperor stepped out of his carriage, looked down at the gods, and asked, "With all the commotion going on, why isn't the Imperial Horse Guards' chief steward here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures were seen flying over from the distant sky palace.

The immortals and gods saw clearly that it was none other than the Monkey King, Marshal Tianpeng, and the Star Lord of Mu Mansion who was being carried by them.

The latter's thin figure was almost uncontrollable, like a flag fluttering behind the two brothers.

Before they even got close, they heard the leading Great Sage say, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We just went to have some sake with the Star Lord of the Wood Palace. How could such a big thing happen? We actually disturbed Your Majesty's royal procession. We deserve death, death!"

The immortals don't believe such words.

But the situation is unclear now, and no one dares to find fault.

What's more, the Emperor of Heaven didn't say anything.

After arriving above the Imperial Stables, Sun Wukong looked at Ao Lie first and asked directly, "Little White Dragon, how do you do things?
I asked you to come to the Heavenly Palace to help Brother Deng Hua and improve the bloodline of the celestial horses in the Imperial Stables.

How could you cause such a big commotion, and even lead the celestial horses in a riot, disturbing the peace of the Heavenly Palace! "

Before Ao Lie could speak, Deng Hua quickly said, "Great Sage, it was because of my dereliction of duty that Bodhisattva Guangli was implicated.

If I hadn't resolved our grievances and insisted on hosting a banquet to welcome you and celebrate, the thieves wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation."

Ao Lie also said aggrievedly: "Big Brother, you really wronged me. I was originally communicating with those celestial horses in the horse farm, discussing the specific matters of improving my bloodline.

But unexpectedly, he saw the Wood Deity turn into a cloud of smoke, sneak into the stable, and then put poison in each horse trough.

These celestial horses all have the blood of our dragon clan, not to mention that among them are the top-quality dragon horses that pull the chariot for the Emperor of Heaven.

I certainly can't just sit back and watch and let others harm them!"

As soon as the words fell, silence fell over the Imperial Stables.

Only Sun Wukong suddenly became furious and said, "Good! The holy land of Heaven is a peaceful place, yet there are still such villains causing chaos! Your Majesty, please punish them severely!" Upon hearing this, all the immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

It always feels a bit awkward when these words come out of your mouth.

But this time, no one dared to find fault.

Because this is so true!

And His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven also spoke.

The Jade Emperor said, "Vaiśravaṇa, go check the celestial horse's feeding trough."

After hearing this, Vaisravana finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately received the order to go to the Imperial Stables for inspection.

In fact, there was no need to check at all. The immortals and gods standing above the Imperial Stables could see with their eyes the black water droplets that had not yet disappeared from the trough.

At this moment, Emperor Donghua clenched his fist and then released it.

He knew that the Jade Emperor was going to provide conclusive evidence so that no one would have anything to say.

Dongfang Shuo, the God of Wood, pursed his lips.

With his scheming mind, he certainly knew that the current situation could not be reversed.

We can only wait until we are questioned before we can deal with it.

Soon, Vaisravana returned to the imperial court and presented the black river water he had collected. He reported, "Your Majesty, we have identified the poisonous substance. It is the Weak Water at the western end of the Milky Way."

The Jade Emperor looked dignified, but he did not speak any further.

Taibai Jinxing hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty is about to go on a western tour, but at this critical moment, someone has poisoned the celestial horses that were pulling your carriage.

This kind of villain is simply a traitor!
I request your permission to severely punish the thief!"

All the immortal officials and generals, regardless of which side they belonged to, petitioned, "Your Majesty, please severely punish the villain!"

The Jade Emperor turned his gaze to Dongfang Shuo and said, "Lord of Wood Virtue, what do you have to say?"

Dongfang Shuo immediately kowtowed and said, "I was momentarily distracted and nearly committed a grave error. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor had no expression on his face and did not reply immediately.

Emperor Donghua understood the reason. He clenched his fists beneath his wide sleeves, then exhaled softly. He stepped forward and bowed his head, saying, "Emperor of Heaven, although my disciple had evil intentions, he was stopped in time and did not commit a serious offense. Your Majesty, please be lenient with him."

Dongfang Shuo also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have repented of my sins and am terrified!"

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly. "Although Emperor Donghua has pleaded for you, the death penalty can be spared, but the punishment for living cannot be escaped. Dongfang Shuo will be stripped of his deity immediately and Emperor Donghua will bring him back to keep him under strict supervision."

Emperor Donghua bowed, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He had even bowed his head and begged for mercy in public, but the Jade Emperor still showed no mercy and deprived his disciple of his position as the main god.

Dongfang Shuo's expression was gloomy. He kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, your humble servant... I thank you for your grace."

Seeing this scene, the immortals present looked calm and did not think there was anything wrong with such a trial. Instead, they felt that the sentence was a bit too heavy. After all, Emperor Donghua, one of the Five Elders of Heaven, had spoken.

If this matter had not involved the Emperor of Heaven's western tour, he would probably have been sentenced to strict surveillance.

It's just a pity that the beloved disciple of Emperor Donghua, the main god in charge of the Heavenly Palace, had even entered the Peach Garden three times, but he didn't expect to be caught in the Imperial Stables, which he was most familiar with.

Just as everyone was sighing, a sneer suddenly rang out.

"Hey! I've been waiting for a long time, but no one said no?"
