Chapter 1844 - 1790– - 1791 Qing Hua and Gou Chen
"Zhu Jiuyin could no longer hold back, the trump card of the Witch Deity Teaching has finally been exposed." The Great Emperor Qinghua’s expression remained neutral, with no hint of joy or anger, yet he seemed to have his own thoughts regarding the actions of the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch.
"It’s not just Zhu Jiuyin. Didn’t you see even Bai Qicang, the appointed Spirit Official Venerable God from the Taoist School, take action? It seems that the Taoist Monarch is not entirely unsupportive of the Five Old Lords, or perhaps he still has a trick up his sleeve." Emperor Gouchen’s eyes flashed with a fierce glint at the sight of Bai Qicang’s intervention.
As a Venerable of the Heavenly Court, a strong presence at the level of a Taoist Monarch, the information they possess is far superior to what Pang Hong could fathom.
Perhaps Pang Hong can only speculate about the existence of Bai Qicang, as an intentional trump card left by the Ancestor Celestial Master and the Longevity Taoist Monarch, to ensure the Taoist School’s invincible presence among True Immortal combat forces.
On this point, Emperor Gouchen and the Great Emperor Qinghua are absolutely certain, as it has been proven by bloody facts.
In recent years, the development of various forces within the Heavenly Court has shown that it’s not only the Jade Emperor who refuses to remain silent. The Jade Emperor himself is unwilling to endure the joint suppression by multiple Venerables, so why would the other Venerables be content to remain mere pawns?
People’s thoughts change with time and status. Perhaps at the initial establishment of the Heavenly Court, these Venerables were willing to suppress the Jade Emperor with pleasure to gain the support of veteran Taoist Monarchs, because they were still unsteady and needed reinforcement to consolidate their authority.
But in this era, they themselves are Taoist Monarchs, with countless strong followers under their command, no less than some top immortal sects, naturally unwilling to remain mere enforcers for other Taoist Monarchs. They seek a higher position and more autonomy.
Of course, such matters are never accomplished overnight but are a result of continuous mutual probing and wrestling.
This process often manifests in covert battles that never surface in the open.
