Celestial Court, Golden Que Cloud Palace Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Yibai straightened his robes and walked into this place, his expression calm, advancing with a vigorous stride.
As he approached the vermilion steps, he caught sight of the Heavenly Emperor seated in a lofty position at the head of the hall.
"Your servant, Yibai, greets Your Majesty!"
Yibai performed a grand salute, not allowing his status as an Innate Divine Being to give rise to arrogance.
If one were to speak of parties within the Celestial Court, he was also of the faction close to the Heavenly Emperor, thus considered one of the emperor's confidants.
He dared not forget the favor of the Heavenly Emperor's support.
"Heavenly Lord, rise. I am assigning you to go to Xizhou to suppress the turmoil,"
the Heavenly Emperor declared, his voice descending like a curtain.
"I shall comply with the Imperial Decree."
Yibai bowed with a clasped fist, accepting the command.
No need for further words.
