My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Are You Really Going to Fight With The Heavenly Courts?

On the second day of the Ancient Demon Court's Crown Prince Lu Ya's denunciation of the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were on standby at the five Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Courts. There was a tense aura everywhere.

A storm was brewing.

The Heavenly Soldiers stood in formation and the Heavenly Generals sharpened their sabers. Many officials of the Heavenly Courts rode the clouds.

The fairies in the Jade Pool gathered together and protected the surroundings of the Jade Pool. They also sent people to inform the Hall of Enlightenment. Although they were not part of the battle order of the Heavenly Courts, they could help at any time. At that moment, the wind in the sky and the ground were jittery. It looked like the battle would start tomorrow. In the Hall of Enlightenment, dozens of immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts gathered. There was a round table in the middle of the hall. There were eight thrones beside the round table. There were four rows of seats on both sides. The immortals and gods stood in front of the seats, waiting for a legitimate god to arrive.

Logically speaking, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother should be leaderless at that moment.

Moreover, the demons were powerful. The remaining experts of the ancient demons were gathered at the border of the North Continent. Their might was terrifying. In terms of the number of experts, the demons were indeed crushing the Heavenly Courts.

However, the immortals did not panic. In fact…

He felt like laughing when he thought about what had happened in the Heavenly Courts previously. A Heavenly General at the door whispered, “The Water God is here!”

The immortals immediately stopped talking. General Dongmu, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Outside the door, the old immortal in a white robe, white hair, and white horsetail whisk rode a white cloud over. He was naturally Li Changshou, who was fishing. As soon as he entered the Hall of Enlightenment, the immortals of the Heavenly Courts immediately gathered and surrounded him. General Dongmu did not know whether to laugh or cry. General Dongmu shouted, “Water God, you're finally here!”

“These demons are so ferocious that they almost bit me!”

“Lord Water God? When are we going to attack the demons?”

“Everyone, don't be anxious.” Li Changshou raised his hand and pressed it down. The immortals immediately quietened down.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Everyone is an important minister of the Heavenly Courts. At this moment, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are not in the Heavenly Courts. We cannot panic. Now that the Heavenly Courts have just made some progress, everything was starting. There were more than a hundred thousand new Heavenly Soldiers that had yet to be trained. There are dozens of newly-advanced Heavenly Generals who have yet to learn how to battle.

The Crown Prince of the ancient Demon Court saw that the Heavenly Courts' internal structure was weak. That's why he was so fearless and brazenly defied the Heavenly Courts. If we organize the troops to fight the demons now, wouldn't that be exactly what the demons want?” Half of the immortals were deep in thought, while the other half were puzzled. A God who was in charge of the Thunder Punishment Hall asked, “Water God, the demons have openly rebelled. Although our Heavenly Courts cannot be considered powerful, we have the power to suppress the demons. If the demons rebel and do not send troops, what will happen to the Heavenly Might? How can the righteous Dao of Heaven and Earth be maintained?”

“You're wrong.” Li Changshou said warmly, “Although the Heavenly Courts can suppress the demons now, and there are many factions among the demons, the demon kings are not compatible, and it's difficult to unite them. How much damage will the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals suffer if we suppress the demons now?”

As he spoke, Li Changshou walked forward.

The immortals followed closely behind and listened carefully, afraid that they would miss a word.

Li Changshou said, “If we send troops immediately, based on the fact that the demons are just a mob, how many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals will die? If too many Heavenly Soldiers die, the strength of the Heavenly Courts will be revealed in the world even if we successfully suppress the demons at the border of the North Continent. Everyone, in today's world, humans are the main characters. The demons are just ancient defeated dogs. If we cannot suppress the demons with the power of lightning, it would the righteous path of the world. It would only make the immortals of the Middle Continent laugh at us. Moreover, if the ancient demons attack, we will suffer a defeat… The Heavenly Might is gone!”

The dozens of immortals in the Hall of Enlightenment nodded in agreement.

They felt that what the Water God said made sense.

The Heavenly Courts did not only have to win when they deployed their troops. They had to win beautifully. They had to obtain a complete victory before they could show their might.

The legitimate god who was in charge of the Thunder Punishment Hall cupped his hands and said, “I was rash and did not consider it carefully. Please punish me, Water God.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It's all for the sake of the Heavenly Courts. Moreover, we are both ministers. How can there be any punishment?” General Dongmu sighed. “No matter what, the current strength of our Heavenly Courts is not enough to intimidate such small fries. Everyone, take a seat! Before the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother descended to the mortal world to undergo the tribulation, he had entrusted the matters of the Heavenly Courts to the Water God and me. Today, I gathered everyone to discuss how to deal with the demons.” At that moment, General Dongmu made an inviting gesture. The immortals and gods in the hall sat down.

General Dongmu and Li Changshou sat at the head of the round table in the middle. The Marshal who was guarding the Five-Element Heavenly Gate was beside them, but he had an empty seat.

General Dongmu looked at the empty seat and said, “Water God, why don't we invite Princess Long Ji over?”

“General Dongmu.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “Although it's reasonable to invite Her Highness Long Ji, I'm afraid…

Her Majesty doesn't like Her Highness Long Ji to participate in these matters.”

General Dongmu could not help but be shocked. He hurriedly said, “In the Water God's opinion, please punish me.”

“Elder Moon, please take a seat.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I still have something important to do today. I need you to take action.”

IT Eh?

Elder Moon, who was in the corner of the Hall of Enlightenment, could not help but be stunned. What did the battle of the Heavenly Courts have to do with him?

However, with the Water God's words, Elder Moon did not dare to delay. He immediately stood up and lowered his head. With some pressure, he sat at the end of the round table cautiously. The entire Hall of Enlightenment was colorful because of his bright red wedding robe. General Dongmu cleared his throat and entered the topic.

A Heavenly Courts general read the speech of the demons to the Heavenly Courts emotionlessly. The immortals and gods were indignant. General Dongmu smiled and asked, “Water God, how should we deal with it?” However, Li Changshou said, “This declaration is not bad. It can be said that he was in tears. He said that the Heavenly Courts bullied the good of the demons. The demons have already retreated and tolerated everything. Now, he can't tolerate it any longer and announced that he does not respect the Heavenly Courts' orders. However, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that there was nothing in the letter. It was rather shameless. It's as if the demons were really following the Heavenly Courts' orders.”

The immortals smiled. The atmosphere in the hall became much livelier.

General Dongmu smiled and said, “This demon is quite meticulous. He can get back at us like that.”

“Everyone, you have to be careful. The demons are now talking about resisting the heavens and not opposing the heavens,” Li Changshou said. “The other party has left behind some backup plans. The Demon Court's Crown Prince Lu Ya and the ancient experts of the demons are the real trouble. However, what we have to do now is to send out an official statement.”

General Dongmu frowned and said, “Release the declaration? Are you going to respond to the demons' declaration?”

“Let's first occupy the righteous cause.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “We will not respond to any of the things written in the other party's official statement. We will just go through the crimes of the remaining survivors of the ancient Demon Court. This matter does not involve the human race. Simply speaking, the ancient demons were bloodthirsty and killed all living beings. They did not know any better. They trained demonic soldiers, refined evil treasures, and squeezed the essence and spirits of the world.

They had ulterior motives. In the second declaration, it had to be pointed out that the Heavenly Courts was established by the Dao Ancestor and the Saints of the Dao Sect. Their purpose was to protect the people and maintain the operation of the Heavenly Dao. They were not to control the thousands of races. The ancient method is no longer feasible. All living beings have the right to choose if they are called demons.”

The immortals thought about it carefully. If they were smart enough, they would understand Li Changshou's words after hearing them.

If one was lacking in intelligence, they would feel that the Water God's words made sense. Of course, there were honest people everywhere. A general was puzzled. “Will our Heavenly Courts… not rule over all races in the future?” Numerous pairs of eyes glared at him, causing the general to subconsciously cringe. He wished he could squeeze himself into the crack in the wall.

Li Changshou said seriously, “The Heavenly Courts are for the protection of the Dao, not for the control of the thousands of races. Everyone, remember this.”

The immortals agreed. Another immortal god said worriedly, “Once this declaration is made, what will happen if the demons attack the Heavenly Courts in anger?” Li Changshou said calmly, “Those demon experts will die without a burial site. There will definitely not be any ashes left behind.”

The immortals immediately felt relieved. They knew that the Water God must have made thorough preparations for what he said.

General Dongmu was deep in thought…

Why? He had the confidence. He could say those words, but he could not be as casual and classy as the Water God…

After deciding on the main content of the second declaration and the time to announce it to the outside world, Li Changshou began to arrange the subsequent matters.

Half of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Courts were defending the Heaven Gate, while the other half were repairing and training. He also ordered the Four Seas' dragon race to prepare a group of experts to help the Heavenly Courts at any time.

Apart from that, the second declaration had been issued. The Heavenly Courts would use the name of seeking revenge on the demons to slightly lower the threshold of recruiting Heavenly Soldiers. They would call the Immortal Sects of the human race of the Middle Continent to head north to seek revenge.

These were all the initial and reasonable responses from the Heavenly Courts. After that, the Heavenly Courts still had a few trump cards that could be used. For example, they could ask the Three Sects for help, ask the Tushita Palace's Grand Supreme Elder to appear, or the Demon Ascension Mountain's Great Spirit Explosion, and so on. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Everyone, you have to calm down. Slow down and let the demons cause chaos. Now that the Jade Emperor is not in the Heavenly Courts, we can use this excuse as an excuse to avoid the battle. We can use righteousness to suppress the demons. The demons have just gathered and are at their peak. If it is delayed for three years, the demons would definitely weaken. If we delay them for ten years, the demons would definitely lose. After holding him back for twenty to thirty years, the demons would either turn into a pile of loose sand on the ground, or Lu Ya and the others would overestimate themselves and take the initiative to attack the heavens. During this period, we can relax and do our own jobs. The Heavenly Gate will strengthen the defenses everywhere. We can stockpile a troop at the Central Heavenly Gate as support. The overall situation can be settled.”

“It would be best if we can drag it out until His Majesty returns from the tribulation. At that time, the Heavenly Courts will be sufficiently prepared. As long as His Majesty gives the order, the army will be deployed and the Heavenly Soldiers will descend to the mortal world to eliminate the demons. The Heavenly Soldiers will not need to suffer any losses. They can promote the might of the heavens and promote righteousness.

Isn't that a wonderful thing? Why would His Majesty be stingy with his rewards then?”

The immortals' eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement.

General Dongmu smiled and said, “During this period, if the demons curse in the lower realm, we don't have to care.”

“We still have to care about that,” Li Changshou said. “Find a few Heavenly Generals who can speak and scold others. If the demons scold them, they will retaliate. It's best if they can't help but attack. However, you have to be careful. Don't say any filthy words and smear the reputation of the Heavenly Courts. Now, these demons are trying to intimidate others using the might of someone more powerful. Let's make it difficult for them to stop and see who's panicking.” A Heavenly General asked, “Lord Water God, if the Heavenly Soldiers' morale is affected during this period, how should we appease them?”

“It's a small matter.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Today, you can tell the Heavenly Soldiers of the various sects that General Dongmu and I will make the decision to wipe out this batch of demons. However, the Heavenly Courts are still lacking in strength. We have to wait for a few days. Tell them to calm down. Let's continue recruiting troops. We have to crush the border of the North Continent and do our best!”

Many Heavenly Generals grinned and felt relieved.

Li Changshou thought for a while and said, “Apart from that, we will change the name of one or two array formations that the Heavenly Soldiers often train, to the Demon-Expelling Array to show the determination of the Heavenly Courts.”

“Okay!”

The Heavenly Generals agreed in unison.

Li Changshou looked at General Dongmu. The latter smiled and made an inviting gesture. He said, “The Water God will make the arrangements.”

“Then I'll say a few more words.” Li Changshou cleared his throat and sat more comfortably on the throne. He continued, “To deal with the demons, using troops is actually the last step. We are the immortals of the Heavenly Courts. We serve the Heavenly Courts and the Heavenly Dao. If the demons do not respect the Heavenly Courts, they will not

the power of the Heavenly Dao to skin the demons? Where is Elder Moon?”

“I'm here!” Elder Moon stood up.

Li Changshou said, “General Dongmu and I will temporarily handle the matters of the Heavenly Courts on behalf of the Queen Mother. Today, we will give the order in the name of the Queen Mother. Your Hall of Marriage is looking for the demons who are Anti-Heaven. If any demons above the Perfected Immortal realm have a marriage, they will be affected by it. If there is no marriage, their marriage will be increased.” Elder Moon hurriedly asked, “Lord Water God, how do you disturb his marriage?” Li Changshou raised a chestnut and said, “For example, the marriage between the male Demon King A and his wife can be introduced into the red string of the male Demon King B, making the male Demon King A and the male Demon King B to compete with each other. In this way, we can advance in batches.”

Elder Moon was enlightened and began to think about it carefully. The immortals looked at each other. They had not expected this move.

Don't ask. It's just a blind spot.

Li Changshou said leisurely, “Apart from the Hall of Marriage, the Thunder Punishment Hall can send lightning bolts to the demons with negative karma every day. It's good to scare them. The Divine Might Hall relied on dreams to find some demon experts whose Dao hearts were not tough enough. They used dreams to break their Dao hearts. Most of the Deity Positions of the Plague Division were still empty. However, the immortals in charge of the Plague Division could cause some trouble for the demon soldiers. The legitimate god in charge of finance would cause them to do something that would ruin their wealth. It would be best to use the methods of the Hall of Marriage as a reference and let the demons die for their wealth, and the birds die for their wealth…

Everyone, who else is in charge of the temple that can affect the demons? Feel free to mention it and discuss it here.” An immortal god immediately stood up and shouted, “I will be in charge of the Wind Division. I can cause a huge gust of wind to blow in the place where the demons gather. I will not see the sun!”

“I'm in charge of the four seasons. I can make the places where demons gather snow at night and make the day hot!”

“I am in charge of the sunset. I can write words like 'the demons will definitely be defeated' every day and mess up their morale!”

“I'm in charge of the Temple of the Toilet. When the demons are in the toilet, I will blow the bucket every time and defeat them!” The entire Hall of Enlightenment was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. The lively atmosphere suddenly froze. Everyone looked at the Immortal God who spoke. The latter shrank his neck guiltily. “I… can only do this…”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I will consider

Laughter sounded from all over the Hall of Enlightenment. The immortals, gods, and Heavenly Generals were filled with morale. Previously, they had never thought that their Heavenly Courts would have so many “conveniences” when dealing with enemies. When the meeting in the Hall of Enlightenment ended, the various departments of the Heavenly Courts immediately began to operate.

The demons at the border of the North Continent did not know what they were about to face.

Overnight, there were many more legends about the Water God in the Heavenly Courts…

In the past, it was said that the Heavenly Courts' Water God was ruthless. Most of the immortals and gods did not believe it. They felt that the Water God could rise because of his identity as a disciple of Ren School. However, after today, the immortals of the Heavenly Courts could not help but give him a thumbs-up when they mentioned the Water God.

In summary, the immortals said the same thing. “Dirty. The Water God's heart is really dirty. We are far inferior. We are extremely impressed with the Water God. We are willing to follow behind and serve the Jade Emperor.” When the atmosphere in the Hall of Enlightenment was at its peak, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who was in the backyard of the Tushita Palace, laughed out loud when he heard Li Changshou's plan to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to torture the demons.

When the Great Daoist Master retracted his smile and pinched his fingers to deduce, his figure gradually turned faint. “How can my Junior Brother not have any good soldiers?”
