Chapter 595 Peacemaker Li Qing Makes His Appearance (Second Update)

"Which level of heaven have those wretched creatures reached?"

In the main hall of Yaochi, the Jade Emperor asked the heavenly soldiers who rushed in with some nervousness.

The heavenly soldier responsible for delivering the message knelt on the ground:

"Your Majesty, they have already reached the Thirty-Third Heaven!"

"I didn't expect they'd even taken over the Weak Water area. We'll investigate further and report back!"

The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth and gave the order to the heavenly soldier.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother patted the Jade Emperor on the back:

"Your Majesty, we are only three heavens away from here. Judging from the current situation, even with the Five Extreme War Gods and the remaining 40,000 heavenly soldiers guarding this place, we probably won't be able to stop them."

"Why don't we leave the Heavenly Court for a while and wait until the Xuanmen sect finishes its seclusion, then ask them to help deal with these demons?"

If the Jade Emperor doesn't leave, none of them can leave either, otherwise they would be betraying the Heavenly Court.

But how could the Jade Emperor leave at this moment? Even if he were to die here, he absolutely could not be forced to leave the Heavenly Court, not even the Jade Pool Palace.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to be the Jade Emperor anymore.

"I will absolutely not leave! I refuse to believe they would dare to kill me!"

The Jade Emperor's resolute attitude caused headaches for the Queen Mother and all the gods.

Just then, a heavenly soldier suddenly ran in:

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Li Qing of Jinxia Cave on Jade Spring Mountain requests an audience!"

"Li Qing, the disciple of Jade Cauldron Immortal, please come in quickly."

Before the Jade Emperor could speak, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up and she gave the order.

"Your Majesty, Li Qing once defeated the Great Golden Crow without any chance of fighting back. His strength is extraordinary. If he is willing to come to the aid of the Heavenly Court at this time, then by joining forces with the Five Extreme War Gods, we might really have a chance to stop those five people."

"Quickly, invite them in! Quickly, invite them in!"

The Jade Emperor was also invigorated upon hearing this.

"I am Li Qing, a disciple of the Jade Cauldron True Man under the tutelage of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. I pay my respects to the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and all the immortals."

Wearing a Taoist robe with the Bagua symbol, Li Chuan walked into the main hall at a leisurely pace, greeting the Jade Emperor and others one by one, showing impeccable manners.

Having obtained all the elixirs of the Thirty-Three Heavens, Li Chuan left behind a shadow clone to play the role of the Sun-Destroying Demon Lord, while his true form reverted to Li Qing's appearance and arrived at the Jade Pool Palace first.

"No need for formalities."

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's attitudes were more than ten times better than before.

Without wasting words, Li Qing went straight to stating his purpose:

"I originally intended to visit a friend in the Heavenly Court today, but after passing through the South Heavenly Gate, all I saw along the way were the corpses of heavenly soldiers. It wasn't until I reached the Thirty-Third Heaven that I discovered it was the work of several acquaintances."

Only after asking in detail did I learn the reason.

Therefore, we first persuaded them to come here to pay their respects to His Majesty and the Empress, to see if we could mediate and avert a great calamity for the three realms.

"Do you know the three Yang siblings?"

The Jade Emperor glared and asked.

Li Chuan shook his head:

"I do not know them personally, but I do know the eldest of the five sworn brothers, the Sun-Destroying Demon Lord, and the fifth, the Sea-Overturning Demon Lord, and we have had some dealings with them."

"Li Qing, if you help the Heavenly Court and the Fifth-Level War God eliminate those five monsters, I will definitely have His Majesty reward you handsomely afterwards, how about it?"

At this moment, the Queen Mother spoke.

The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement:

"That's right, Li Qing. As long as you can resolve this crisis in Heaven, you can make any requests you have afterward. As long as they don't violate the Heavenly Laws, I will grant them."

"I'm afraid I can't agree. It's not because I care about our past friendship, but because Your Majesty and the Empress don't know that the Demon Lord of Annihilation is an ancient heretical cultivator whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

Even I, a humble Taoist priest, would find it difficult to subdue him in a one-on-one fight.

The three Yang brothers were all Golden Immortals, and they also possessed the innate spiritual treasure, the Lotus Lantern, which was extremely powerful.

The last one, the Overturning Sea Demon Lord, was also an ancient lotus flower that had cultivated into a spirit, and his cultivation level was also that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

While a Level 5 War God is indeed powerful, they haven't reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level. If a real fight were to break out, there would likely be only one outcome.

Li Chuan shook his head and began to analyze the situation for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

After listening to Li Chuan's analysis, all the gods present became solemn, including the Five Extremes War God who had been summoned from the Western Taiji Emperor.

"If what Master Li Qing said is true, then I'm afraid we are indeed no match for him."

The leader of the Five Extreme War Gods, the Sky War God, also stepped forward at this moment.

Ultimately, they weren't the Jade Emperor's direct subordinates; they were merely seconded to help. If things couldn't be accomplished, there was no need to sacrifice the lives of their brothers.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked Li Qing:

"Li Qing, since you have a connection with that Demon Lord of Annihilation, what do they want in return for them to leave?"

"They demanded that the Jade Emperor release the eldest princess, then publicly apologize to the Three Realms, and amend the Heavenly Laws to no longer prevent lovers from falling in love between humans and immortals."

Li Qing replied.

The Jade Emperor immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's utterly... utterly... outrageous!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

The Queen Mother quickly got up and persuaded the Jade Emperor for a while. After calming him down, she asked Li Qing:

"Does this really have to be the last thing you want to do?"

"That's what they suggested at the time, but I knew it was inappropriate. After some persuasion, they agreed to back down."

"I've come to inquire about Your Majesty's bottom line, so that I can negotiate peace."

Li Chuan naturally knew that the condition he had just made was impossible to fulfill, even if he killed the Jade Emperor; it was simply an exorbitant demand.

Only in this way can we persuade the Jade Emperor to make more concessions so that we can continue the negotiations.

"Hmph, at most... at most, after they retreat, I will no longer pursue their serious crime of attacking the Heavenly Court, nor will I issue any warrants for their arrest."

The Jade Emperor thought for a long time and then gave his bottom line.

Li Chuan shook his head:

"Your Majesty, this is probably not appropriate. Their purpose in attacking the Heavenly Court is to rescue the Princess. If Your Majesty only offers this solution, I'm afraid they will never agree to it."

"If Yao Ji is released, where will the majesty of the Heavenly Court be? Where will my majesty be?"

The Jade Emperor slammed his fist on the table and roared in anger.

Li Chuan pretended to ponder for a moment, then said:

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, how about this: I, a humble Taoist priest, will go and mediate, persuade them to stop attacking the Heavenly Court, and publicly apologize to Your Majesty."

Then I will go to the Princess and make her admit that it was the mortal Yang Tianyou who tempted her, and that she should take the initiative to confess her sins and reflect on her actions, never to go to the Heavenly Court again, and to reflect on her mistakes in Guanjiangkou.

In this way, mother and child can be reunited, and the majesty of the Heavenly Court and His Majesty will not be damaged.

With the peaches of immortality and the elixir of immortality in hand, all that remains is for the Jade Emperor to rescind the Heavenly Laws, and everything will be fine.

As for apologies and admitting mistakes, Yang Tianyou has already been saved, so saying a few words won't hurt him, it's no big deal.

This can be considered as giving the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother a way out.

"Are they really willing?"

While the Jade Emperor was still hesitating, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up.

As long as Yao Ji never goes to the Heavenly Court, her rights will not be taken back, and she is willing to accept this condition.
