In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor sat high upon his Ninth Heaven Throne, his hanging tassel masking his face, rendering it unclear to the onlookers.
The Immortal Officers and Divine Generals stood arranged on both sides of the great hall, their usual indifference gone. Some were shocked, some angry, some flustered, some silent.
All eyes converged on the area below the hall.
Sun Wukong stood upright, Yang Chan exuded confidence, and Ne Zha, as lively as ever, was escorting Xiao Zhen.
"Ne Zha, come back!" Li Jing's face darkened a bit.
"I'm following His Majesty's order to supervise the investigation," Ne Zha replied with a cheerful smile.
Li Jing felt helpless, you were told to supervise, not to take action.
Xiao Zhen was a disciple of a Saint of the Revealed Teachings, albeit not well-favored, he was a direct disciple of a Saint!
After all the immortals had arrived, the court session began.
