The Celestial Emperor came over and discussed with the people of Heaven Realm about how they could eliminate the Feathered Race in one fell swoop. After hearing the news of Yao Ji's successful poisoning, he prepared to attack the city.
Originally, he had planned to personally go to the Feathered Clan and use his own power to completely eradicate the threat of Su Yuewu. However, as the supreme expert of the Sky Emperor, if he were to go through with this, it would inevitably arouse the tongues of the people around him. He did not care about the others, but if Zi Yuan knew about this, with his personality, he would definitely ruthlessly humiliate him.
So he found Yao Ji, wanting to use Yao Ji to get rid of Su Yuewu, so that he could focus on dealing with Leng Fanyun.
The Celestial Emperor had always feared Leng Fanyun. Several thousand years ago, when the Celestial Emperor was still a young Empyrean God, he had fought against the Demon Lord Leng Fanyun many times. Every time, the two of them had been evenly matched.
Later on, when he became the Celestial Emperor, he could not personally take action because he had to deal with political affairs. In the past, he dared to say that he didn't have the slightest bit of fear when facing that Zi Yuan whose martial power was the highest. But now, even Su Yuewu, he still felt some lingering fear.
He called Taibai, and asked rather eagerly,
"Go and find out how Yao Ji is doing?"
Tai Bai took his orders and left. After a while, he replied with a face full of joy:
"Congratulations your majesty. Yao Ji did not fail her mission. Right now, Su Yuewu is unconscious. Even if she were to wake up, it would still take some time for her power to recover. Your majesty's plan can now be carried out."
The Celestial Emperor was overjoyed, but his expression remained the same. He pretended to be calm as he asked.
"Then what about Leng Fanyun, what is his current cultivation level?"
Taibai thought about it, then said:
"That Leng Fanyun's cultivation base was very deep, and he even awakened a part of the Demon Sovereign's strength. His cultivation is even more astonishing."
The expression of the Celestial Emperor darkened when he saw Taibai praising the Demon Lord. However, when he heard Taibai's words, he changed his mind and said,
"It's just that back then when Leng Fanyun was sent to the underworld, his power was already at less than one in ten. Later on, when he suffered the heat of the Samsara Fire in his Nine Nether Domain, his power loss was even faster. I heard that his entire memories have been sealed by the three great elders of the Feathered Race.
He could have expected that, but he had been the Celestial Emperor for a long time and his actions had become more cautious, so he asked Taibai again. Now that he was sure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure.
"Demon Sovereign, Demon Sovereign, even if you have been reincarnated multiple times, now that I have personally taken action, I'm afraid you will really disappear without a trace!"
Suddenly, the Celestial Emperor thought of Qing Yan, his dearly beloved fourth daughter. Even if he was the Heaven Emperor, he wouldn't be able to save her. However, he still deeply loved this headstrong fourth daughter, and if someone dared to take away his daughter's life treasure, he would capture that person and execute him even if he escaped into the depths of the East Sea.
"Su Yuewu, Leng Fanyun, and that God of Slaughter, none of you will be able to escape from my grasp now." The corners of the Heavenly Emperor's mouth unconsciously curled up into a malicious smile. Taibai Jinxing inadvertently glanced at the Heavenly Emperor's expression and couldn't help but feel a little cold and scared.
The Celestial Emperor calmed down for a while. He was very satisfied to see Taibai still standing by his side. He waved his hand, signaling Taibai to come closer, and Taibai took two steps closer in confusion. The Heavenly Emperor suddenly let out a sigh and said:
"The current situation is extremely favorable for us. I plan to personally go to the Feathered Race and capture those three people."
Taibai was startled, and immediately exclaimed:
"Your Majesty, it's been so many years since you last left the Heaven Breaking Island. This trip out of the island rashly might cause the Heaven Realm Elder to be displeased."
The Celestial Emperor frowned and said helplessly, "I was worried about this as well. That's why I thought of you. We can't act rashly in this matter. We have to think of a foolproof plan. What good intentions do we have, my beloved one?"
If his suggestion was correct, the Elders would have nothing to say. That would be great, but if he had any mistakes and the Elders found out something, the Heavenly Emperor would just blame it on him, and at that time, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Taibai silently cursed at the Celestial Emperor, but his face still carried a respectful expression as he frowned in thought. After thinking for a long time, Tai Bai couldn't think of any good method to attack the Feathered Race with all his might, not only because he didn't want to offend the Heaven Realm Elder.
Taibai, who was usually very quick-witted, was helpless when faced with such a dilemma. He was shocked when he saw the Heavenly Emperor's burning gaze on him, and sweat started to form on his forehead.
The Celestial Emperor looked at Taibai with a playful expression. He was extremely satisfied with his way of governing. His originally repressed mood gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but lean back.
It was this tiny movement that had been caught by Taibai. Taibai was so shrewd that he immediately noticed the anomaly of the Celestial Emperor. He thought to himself,
"So it turns out that the Heavenly Emperor had already thought of a reason. He was merely making things difficult for me." Thinking up to here, he regained his composure and pretended to be troubled. After saying a few crappy reasons, the Celestial Emperor shook his head and said with a smile:
"Taibai, Taibai, you are usually known as the one with unparalleled intelligence in the Heaven Realm, but now you are still in trouble."
Taibai hurriedly kowtowed and said, "This humble subject is retarded, this is only a joke among the deities. Your Majesty, do not take it for real."
The Celestial Emperor laughed out loud. He hastily called Taibai over and gave him a few instructions in a low voice.
"If that's the case, those old fellows wouldn't dare to gossip."
On the second day, the Celestial Emperor gathered a group of officials and held a Hundred Immortal Gathering at the Brilliant Court. He invited a group of Immortals to discuss the matter of attacking the Feathered Race together.
He saw the Heavenly Emperor sitting in the grand hall with a dark and uncertain expression. The heavenly soldiers and generals sent to capture Leng Fanyun had suffered setbacks over and over again. This caused the Heavenly Emperor to be greatly angered, and he also heard that something was happening in the Underworld as well. You Huang seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with herself as she took the Underworld's people to the Feathered Race. It made him even more anxious.
"This matter involves the dignity of our Heaven Realm, we must treat it with caution!" The Celestial Emperor slapped the armrest of his chair. The long beard rustled and moved. Suddenly, a bright light shot out from his eyes. His gaze swept across the deities within the hall and he said:
"Taibai, tell me about the history of the Feathered Race."
Taibai slowly stepped out of the line, his eyes filled with a perplexed expression. He pondered for a while, then finally cleared his throat and said:
"The Feathered Race, the most mysterious race within the Three Realms. Although they may look weak, they are actually extremely cunning and have lived on the island. Therefore, for thousands of years, even my Heaven Realm was unable to sense that the Void Island was actually not that far away from our Heaven Breaking Island, even though it was the only island that my Heaven Realm could sense.
The Void Island was originally just a savage island, but now that it was found by the Feathered Race, it became a deserted place to live. However, the Feathered Race were not at peace and tried to interfere with our Heaven Realm. Under the suggestion of a few elders, they assassinated the previous generation of Heavenly Emperor.
In the past, no one knew the exact location of the Feathered Race, so they couldn't see it. Now that the Feathered Race's encampment has been exposed, naturally, our Heaven Realm spies found out the secret behind the old secrets. "
Tai Bai slowly narrated the past and present lives of the Feathered Race. The crowd of immortals in the Manchu Clan were all in an uproar as they broke out into a flurry of discussion.
The Celestial Emperor extended his hand to signal for the immortals to quiet down, nodded his head and said, "My beloved sir is right, I only found out about this recently. So it turns out that there is another secret behind the death of the previous Celestial Emperor, and this secret that few people know about, reveals that the culprit behind the death of the previous Celestial Emperor is none other than the Feathered Clan!"
When the Celestial Emperor finished speaking, his face had already turned ashen. The solemn and dignified expression on his face now revealed a rare hint of anger.
"The Feathered Race originally had a pitiful background, and was driven out of the world by the humans. As the leader of the three realms, we originally wanted to support the Feathered Race, but the Feathered Race were too arrogant, and caused the death of the previous Celestial Emperor!"
The Heavenly Emperor paused before saying, "Once this matter is exposed, we cannot remain indifferent to it. May I know what your beloved officials think?"
The moment the words came out of the Sky Emperor's mouth, a deep voice rang out.
"Go directly to the nest of the Feathered Race and capture them in one fell swoop!" It was the battle vanguard who spoke up anxiously.
The Heavenly Emperor was noncommittal, he then shifted his gaze to the few Heaven Realm Elders who were calm and composed. Those few elders had previously served under the previous generation of Heavenly Emperor. They were the two generation of elders in the Heaven Realm and had extremely deep feelings for the previous generation of Heavenly Emperor.
The Heaven Emperor specially asked for their opinion with his own thoughts. The few old elders of the Heaven Realm were extremely respectful to the previous generation of Heaven Emperor, and as a result, they looked down on him as well.
How sinister was the Heavenly Emperor's gaze? He was naturally able to see through the various factions within the Heaven Realm.
He knew that if he were to directly say that he wanted to go with the strength of Heaven Realm to capture Su Yuewu, her, and Leng Fanyun, the three of them, the few elders would definitely protest.
As expected, those doyens looked at each other in dismay and had no choice but to send a representative to say:
"Your Majesty is wise, this matter was buried for a thousand years, and it caused my Heaven Realm to suffer unjustly. Now that the truth has been revealed, the Feather race should give us an explanation."
The Heavenly Emperor slightly nodded his head and said:
"That's good. Then we shall go to the Feathered Race to seek justice for the previous generation's Celestial Emperor, and also bring back the few villains that were wanted by the Heaven Realm. "
The Celestial Emperor used to be the strongest person in the Heaven Realm other than Zi Yuan. When he was the first Sky Emperor, he went to the Underworld and defeated the number one ranker in the Three Realms, the Demon Sovereign. For thousands of years, the Celestial Emperor had never left the Heaven Breaking Island. Now, he actually announced that he was going to personally lead the army. How could this not excite the other Immortals?
