316: Chapter 194: Trusted Ziwei’s Character 316: Chapter 194: Trusted Ziwei’s Character Taotie was very debonair, and after speaking, he truly kept his hands to himself, standing off to the side.
Ao Zhan said apologetically, “Great Saint, please don’t be offended, my brother just has this kind of temperament, and harbors no ill will.”
Nodding slightly, Sun Wukong said with a smile, “Please let the Dragon Clan take over the Thunder Department.”
Ao Zhan took a deep breath, feeling unexpectedly excited.
The Dragon Clan’s time of forbearance had been far too long.
So long, in fact, that the Dragon Clan itself had forgotten their past glory.
Even this son of the Ancestral Dragon was so excited about taking charge of the Thunder Department.
Ao Zhan realized that, starting from today, the Dragon Clan had risen again.
The rest of the Dragon Clan was equally excited, as they watched the scene unfold before them.
Meanwhile, the gods of the Thunder Department looked like defeated roosters, disheartened and wilted.
Ao Zhan took his place as the head of the Thunder Department, sitting in the seat of power.
At that moment, the entire Sea Dragon Clan roared with cheers.
Sun Wukong smiled, gave Ao Zhan a salute, and then left.
Ao Guang and the others were beaming with joy, for the Sea Dragon Clan had finally stood up again.
From this day forward, who would dare to look down upon the Dragon Clan?
Ao Zhan began to reorganize the Thunder Department, reappointing its generals.
He did not make use of the Dragon Clan exclusively; instead, he reinstated some of the Thunder Department’s former officers.
Those who thought they were doomed to die, or at the very least imprisoned, were surprised to find that Ao Zhan did not trouble them at all.
Instead, he reinstated them, allowing them to serve in the Thunder Department.
Gratitude filled their hearts, while they also felt a newfound sense of stability.
Of course, the Dragon Clan still held crucial positions within the Thunder Department.
In less than seven days, the Thunder Department had started to operate anew.
Evil demons, accustomed to their wicked ways, suddenly found that their familiar days had returned.
They were killing with delight, and the heavenly tribulation sought them eagerly,
Within just one day, a tenth of the miscreant demons in the whole world had been eliminated.
Heavenly thunder raged for an entire day, and it could be seen everywhere.
The common people could witness wicked demons, who had once committed countless acts of evil, now struck down by thunderbolts.
Meanwhile, divine dragons could be seen flitting through the clouds, informing the common people that this was an act of compassion from Great Emperor Ziwei, who lamented the plights of the people tormented by demon spirits and thus appointed the Sea Dragon Clan to control the Thunder Department, to eradicate evil and restore peace to the world.
Instantly, the reputation of Great Emperor Ziwei soared to astounding heights.
The Dragon Clan was revered as an auspicious and divine presence between heaven and earth.
Other demon spirits hurriedly went into hiding or used secret techniques to conceal their malevolent aura, fearing they would attract the attention of the Thunder Department.
Even so, many were still found and exposed.
Nearly every day, evil demons were struck down by heavenly thunder.
The Human Race and other sentient beings were filled with gratitude and awe toward the Dragon Clan, who had accomplished all this.
After achieving certain results, Ao Zhan finally went to see the Ziwei Heavenly Venerate.
He bowed and reported, “Your Majesty, the Thunder Department has been completely reorganized and has begun operations to maintain the order of the Three Realms.
In three days, a total of 18,653 malevolent demons have been executed, all notorious for their evil, including 15,636 from the Demon Clan and the rest being evil spirits from the Human Race.”
Great Emperor Ziwei showed a pleased expression.
He said with a smile, “You have worked hard, my minister.
The Three Realms are in chaos, and I intend to purge them to restore a clear and orderly Heaven and Earth.
You will need to work even harder to fulfill this task.”
“Your Majesty, rest assured, Ao Zhan and the Dragon Clan will spare no effort to repay Your Majesty’s grace,” he vowed.
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, as they were exchanging what he considered to be meaningless pleasantries.
“Your Majesty, actually, the matter of the Thunder Department has not been completely resolved,” Yang Jian suddenly said.
All eyes turned to him.
In five years’ time, this Judicial Deity had risen in stature among the Immortal Clan, and when he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.
All gazes settled on Yang Jian, awaiting his continuation.
Great Emperor Ziwei looked serious and said in a solemn voice, “My minister, please continue.”
Yang Jian’s gaze was piercing, conveying a formidable authority as he said coldly, “Although the Thunder Department has been taken over, the Puhua Heavenly Venerate has not yet been dealt with.”
The crowd was taken aback by this statement.
No one expected Yang Jian to suggest such a thing, implying that he sought to confront Puhua Heavenly Venerate.
The crowd wore strange expressions, knowing that the Thunderous Heavenly Venerate was an incarnation of the Longevity Great Emperor.
Now that Puhua Heavenly Venerate had already gone to the Longevity Great Emperor’s side, to confront Puhua Heavenly Venerate would surely mean a direct conflict with the Longevity Great Emperor.
Was this really appropriate?
The thought troubled the minds of everyone present.
After all, many believed that now was not the best time to turn against the Longevity Great Emperor.
It seemed wiser to first reclaim the scattered divine authorities, and then proceed to deal with the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings; that was the correct approach.
“Is this not acting too hastily?” Sa Shoujian asked, slightly frowning.
It wasn’t that he wanted to oppose Yang Jian’s suggestion; in truth, Yang Jian had accomplished so much over the years within the Ziwei Heavenly Court that they all held him in high esteem.
Since Yang Jian had spoken, he must have ample reasons for taking action against Puhua Heavenly Venerate.
Yang Jian replied with a faint smile, “It is indeed a bit hasty, but it must be done.
Otherwise, when Your Majesty starts to reclaim the divine powers, and those people all seek refuge with the other three, won’t that just make them even stronger?”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, as Yang Jian had said, they would next set out to reclaim those dispersed divine authorities.
