Before Erlang Shen arrived, he subdued the demon and put it into the Linglong Pagoda. Although he had the help of Taishang Laojun, Li Jing still felt very proud.
He left the matter of integrating the heavenly soldiers and generals to the four brothers of the Demon family, and he took his three sons to the Lingxiao Palace to report the situation to the Jade Emperor.
Because he was in a good mood, Li Jing's steps were particularly vigorous.
Soon, they arrived outside the Lingxiao Palace.
"It is said that the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court is here to see King Li Tianwang of Tota!" Before he could report, the voice of the boy next to the Jade Emperor came from the Lingxiao Palace.
For a moment, Li Jing became more and more proud.
However, the moment he stepped into the Lingxiao Palace, he quickly calmed down the expression on his face and became solemn.
"Your Majesty Li Jing meets the Jade Emperor!"
"Your Majesty Jin Zha meets the Jade Emperor."
"Chen Muzha meets the Jade Emperor."
"My lord, Nezha meets the Jade Emperor."
"Four nobles, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Although the Jade Emperor on the throne looked majestic, he could not hide the joy in his eyes. Li Jing was his most loyal general. Now that he has made a contribution, his face I also felt a great sense of light.
As he spoke, the Jade Emperor looked around, scanning the immortals on both sides of the hall one by one, as if to say, look, even without your help, my ministers can successfully capture the devil.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing straightened up and said.
"Well, the Li Qing family has done a good job this time and deserves a generous reward!" The Jade Emperor finally showed a smile on his face and nodded with a smile.
Li Jing was very happy to be praised by the Jade Emperor, but he said modestly: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary. I just did what I should do. What's more, without your Majesty's wise leadership, I would not be able to capture the devil." !”
Li Jing's attitude was very helpful to the Jade Emperor, and he laughed and said: "In the Li Qing family, excessive modesty is pride. Okay, now, you will tell me about the process of fighting that devil!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jing puffed up his chest and began to tell the detailed process of the battle with Song Yan.
In fact, all the ministers in the palace knew the process and details of the entire battle clearly. There was no need for Li Jing to tell it again. The reason why the Jade Emperor asked him to tell it again was just to show off.
Although the ministers in the heaven did not take the Jade Emperor seriously, they still had to give the Jade Emperor some face. Therefore, they all appeared to be listening attentively, and showed various expressions as Li Jing spoke. Come and greatly satisfy the vanity of the monarch and his ministers.
Li Jing talked about the battle for less than a quarter of an hour for a full hour, but the Jade Emperor still listened with interest.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened!" Li Jing ended his speech with such a sentence.
The Jade Emperor praised again: "Yes, very good! The Li Qing family is worthy of being the important ministers of my heaven. Well done. I hope you can continue your efforts!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely not disappoint your Majesty!" Li Jing quickly expressed his stance. Seeing this, all the old immortals felt a bit of disdain in their hearts.
"By the way, the demon has been taken into the Linglong Pagoda by Li Qing. Will he escape again?" The Jade Emperor raised his concerns. At that time, Sun Wukong was also taken into the Linglong Pagoda, but he escaped not long after.
Li Jing almost slapped his chest and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the power of the Linglong Pagoda is even greater than before. In just two or three days, this demon will be completely refined into a ball of blood!"
"That's good." After hearing what Li Jing said, the Jade Emperor felt relieved, and then his face straightened: "The Li family and his son are rewarded!"
Suddenly, Li Jing and his three sons hurriedly bowed their bodies.
"The Grand Marshal of Heaven, Li Jing, has made great achievements in exterminating demons. He will be rewarded with 100,000 merits, ten pieces of immortal treasures, fifty bottles of elixir refined by the Supreme Lord, and a luxurious mansion!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing said excitedly.
The Jade Emperor nodded and continued: "Jin Zha, Mu Zha and Nezha fought bravely to kill the enemy in the battle to eliminate demons. Their contribution is indispensable. Each of them will be rewarded with 10,000 merits, three pieces of immortal treasures, and ten bottles of high-level elixirs!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three Nezha brothers also showed smiles and hurriedly thanked them.
The meeting dispersed.
Li Jingzhi was proudly preparing to return to the Marshal's Mansion with his three sons, when he met Taibai Jinxing and Erlang Shen coming towards the Lingxiao Palace.
"Congratulations, Marshal, I heard that the devil has been captured by you!"
Taibai Jinxing hurriedly came up to him with a flattering expression on his face, but the handsome and tall Erlang Shen stood aside with a very cold expression.
"Taibai, you deserve the award. I was lucky enough to make the meritorious service this time!" Li Jing pretended to be modest, but his face was full of pride. Suddenly, he deliberately showed a look of surprise: "It turns out that it's Zhenjun Erlang who's here. I’m handsome and polite!”
"I've met King Li Tian!" Erlang Shen said calmly.
Li Jing said with a smile: "Zhenjun Erlang, you came late this time, which made your trip in vain. I feel very guilty. How about you go to my house with me and have a few drinks? I apologize to you!"
"I understand the kindness of King Li Tian. There are still a lot of things at Guanjiangkou waiting for me to deal with. I will return when I see the Jade Emperor!" Erlang Shen frowned slightly, but his tone became colder, but there was something in his heart. He was disdainful of Li Jing's face. If it weren't for the Jade Emperor's sake, he would not pay attention to him at all.
What's more, if Taishang Laojun hadn't attacked the devil secretly, would he have wanted to conquer him? It’s just a dream!
Hearing this, Li Jing showed a look of regret: "Since Zhenjun has something to do, I won't force you. Let's make an appointment next time!"
As soon as he returned to his mansion, Li Jing sent out an invitation to all the immortals, planning to have a good celebration.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in Yaochi was somewhat solidified.
As the head of the female fairies, the Queen Mother stared at the Sixth Fairy Lan'er who was standing awkwardly below with a cold face, and said calmly: "Xiao Liu, the devil has been killed, so don't cause any more trouble!"
Hearing this, the Sixth Fairy's face turned a little pale, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. She gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "But Queen Mother, Mr. Song is not a devil at all. If he hadn't saved my daughter, my daughter I’m afraid it’s already…!”
"alright!"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and shouted coldly: "There is no need to mention this matter again. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me as a mother for not caring about the relationship between mother and child. The boss and the second brother should take your sister down quickly. Without me, Order, she is not allowed to step out of Yaochi!"
"Mother, please, help...!"
"Shut up!"
The Queen Mother interrupted the Sixth Fairy arrogantly, with two cold gleams in her eyes.
The eldest fairy Hong'er and the second fairy Cheng'er were shocked when they saw this. They rushed up and forcibly dragged the sixth fairy Lan'er out of the hall.
When only the Queen Mother was left in the hall, she sighed softly and said to herself: "Lan'er, it's not that the Queen Mother doesn't want to help you, but this time the Jade Emperor intends to use the Song Inkstone to establish his prestige, so even if he If you are not a devil, you can only be a devil!"
