306: 305 306: 305 Heavenly Immortals of the Heavenly Court, Fairy clad in rainbow garments, and even Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the distance watched. This made the many Demon Kings puff out their chests and lift their heads, faces expressing an indescribable pride. One must know that these Demon Kings were demons from the Earth Immortal Realm. Although they possessed great magical powers, a demon was still a demon, always looked down upon by the Immortals, even to the point of calls for their extermination. However, today, they openly followed Ye Xuan into the Heavenly Court. Where would one find an Immortal who dared to disrespect them? This, too, gave them a feeling of exultant relief. Soon, the Southern Heavenly Gate emerged upfront, where the Four Great Heavenly Kings had already been waiting. Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, too, had arrived in person, clearly to honor Ye Xuan’s return to the Heavenly Court. Undeniably, Ye Xuan was now the focal point across the Three Realms. Not to mention his single-handed subjugation of the Huaguo Mountain, he had also audaciously slain the Long Eyebrow Arhat. Merely this reckless behavior had already made all beings of the Three Realms take note. When the Bodhisattva Guanyin came to the Heavenly Court to accuse him of wrongdoing, two Dharma Decrees stunned and repelled her; this alone let the Heavenly Court’s Group of Immortals know that Emperor Dongji was not someone to be trifled with. “Welcome Emperor, triumphant in your return.” Li Jing, smiling, was the first to bow to Ye Xuan, while the Four Great Heavenly Kings, not daring to delay, also bowed deeply. However, when they saw the dozens of Demon Kings behind Ye Xuan, their eyes slightly narrowed, yet they said nothing. “There’s no need for such formalities,” Ye Xuan said calmly. “Emperor, His Majesty has been waiting at the Lingxiao Palace for quite some time, please,” said Li Jing, still smiling as he stepped aside to make way. Ye Xuan nodded, mounted his black cloud, and was just about to head for the Lingxiao Palace, when Li Jing and the Four Great Heavenly Kings blocked the Demon Kings from entering the South Heavenly Gate. “This is a critical area of the Heavenly Court; Demon Kings of the Lower Realm may not enter,” Li Jing stated coldly. “Hmm?” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly; he hadn’t expected Li Jing to dare block his people, which made his expression turn cold, his voice low and stern, “They are all subjects under my command; they need to accompany me to meet the Jade Emperor.” “Emperor, please don’t misunderstand; this is a decree from the Jade Emperor. I am merely following orders,” Li Jing quickly explained, sensing Ye Xuan’s dissatisfaction. “A decree from the Jade Emperor?” A cold smile curled at Ye Xuan’s lips, and his following words left Li Jing disoriented, his body involuntarily trembling. “I spent two hundred years to subdue Huaguo Mountain, while the Jade Emperor sits enjoying his peace in Lingxiao Palace; what right does he have to block my people?” “Or are you all his lackeys, wanting to oppose me?” Defiant and lawless, Ye Xuan’s eyes filled with lethal intent, his voice harsh and merciless as he looked at Li Jing and the others, an unmistakable killing intent flashing by. “Step aside!” A burst of Luotian Immortal Light shot out; before Li Jing and the Four Great Heavenly Kings could react, they were blown away, their bodies flying off. The dozens of Demon Kings stood in stunned silence, never having expected Ye Xuan to be so bold as to completely disregard the Jade Emperor. In fact, even though the Demon Kings were denied entry at the South Heavenly Gate, they did not feel it was a big deal, since they were demon beings to begin with—how could the Heavenly Court possibly welcome them. However, what Ye Xuan did warmed their hearts at once, and the way they looked at Ye Xuan was filled with more gratitude. “Thank you, Emperor.” The Heavenly Peng King had a complex expression as he bowed to Ye Xuan first, followed by the other Demon Kings bowing deeply. Watching the respectful demeanor of the Demon Kings, a hint of satisfaction crossed Ye Xuan’s eyes as he calmly said, “Let’s go; don’t keep that old Jade Emperor waiting too long.” Without even a glance at Li Jing and the others, Ye Xuan led the way toward Lingxiao Palace, with the dozens of Demon Kings closely following. Each one had a complex expression on their face, clearly showing that Ye Xuan’s simple action had greatly altered their thoughts. Indeed, Ye Xuan was buying people’s hearts, deliberately performing this action for the Demon Kings to see. This tactic of winning people’s hearts is common in the Human World. If a leader cannot protect his subordinates, he will also lose their support. Ye Xuan was merely doing what he ought to do. In the Earth Immortal Realm, whether they are Immortals or demons, everyone is only concerned with their own affairs. Even though the Jade Emperor claims to be the ruler of the Three Realms, in terms of winning people’s hearts, he falls far behind Ye Xuan. Because in the realms of Heaven, Earth, and Human, too much emphasis is placed on cultivation. Though this indeed is the correct path, and absolute power can command subordinates, a competent leader who can make his subordinates willingly loyal is what truly defines a superior. Helping relatives over principles, this is Ye Xuan’s Art of Managing People. Although it seems domineering, it can win people’s hearts and provides great benefits to Ye Xuan. Lingxiao Palace. The Group of Immortals stood aside, and the Jade Emperor sat high above. Without needing an Immortal Official to announce, Ye Xuan casually walked into the Lingxiao Palace, followed naturally by the dozens of Demon Kings. This also made the Group of Immortals and the Jade Emperor coldly observe, rendering the atmosphere of Lingxiao Palace eerily silent. Since the destruction of the Ancient Heavenly Court, when the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother rebuilt the Heavenly Court, these Thirty-Three Layered Heavens have been the blessed land of the Immortal. Never before have any demons entered the Heavenly Court. But today, led by Ye Xuan, dozens of Demon Kings from Huaguo Mountain entered Lingxiao Palace. Although it was under the pretense of submitting to the Heavenly Court, it still left an unresolved complexity in the hearts of the Group of Immortals and the Jade Emperor. However, as Emperor Dongji, Ye Xuan was in the eyes of all a supreme figure of the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor could hardly say anything further, and more crucially, with Saintly beings watching over him, and even the Bodhisattva Guanyin quietly leaving the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and the Group of Immortals could only bear it. “Emperor Dongji has merits in subduing Huaguo Mountain; I have already commanded that a grand feast be prepared at Turquoise Pool to welcome and cleanse you.” The Jade Emperor spoke solemnly, his words devoid of smiles and not mentioning any of the Demon Kings following Ye Xuan, treating them as if they were air. Hearing the Jade Emperor’s words, Ye Xuan gave a cold smile. He was not interested in the so-called grand feast at Turquoise Pool. He returned to the Heavenly Court with the intention of gaining benefits from the Jade Emperor; how could he let the Jade Emperor brush him off? “Jade Emperor, this time in subduing Huaguo Mountain, these Demon Kings were instrumental in their merits. Without the aid of these Demon Kings, I could not have easily slew Bai Hong. Now that these Demon Kings are willing to submit to the Heavenly Court, I ask the Jade Emperor to confer titles upon the Group of Demons to also showcase the generous benevolence of the Heavenly Court,” Ye Xuan said calmly. “Hmph!” Suddenly. Before the Jade Emperor could speak, Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altar Sea Society, stepped forward, his handsome face slightly cold, saying, “Emperor Dongji, His Majesty sent you to the lower realms to subdue demons, which was to identify the murderer of the Changsheng Immortal Venerable. Now, you are seeking rewards for these Demon Kings. Are you truly an Emperor of our Heavenly Court, or are you a Demon King of the lower realms?” Faced with Nezha’s disrespectful words, Ye Xuan looked at him coldly, knowing that Nezha quietly resented him for severely injuring Yang Jian. However, Ye Xuan had long been prepared for Nezha’s remarks.
