Chapter 446: The Battle between Father and Son

At the bottom of the Holy Emperor Peak, there is a heavenly prison.

Nezha sat on a chair, his face full of impatience, looking at the Holy Emperor sitting in the cell like a dead body. He felt restless, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"Tomorrow is the Observing Heaven Grand Assembly. If you want to survive, you better do as you're told. Otherwise, you, the Holy Princess, as well as Prince Qin and the other princes, will all die," Nezha said in a deep voice.

They had learned that the Observing Heaven Grand Assembly required the personal opening of the Holy Emperor. According to the original holy officials, the Observing Heaven Grand Assembly was created by the Temple of the Gods, a grand event to compete for the flow of qi, involving domains known to the Holy Dynasty numbering around twenty.

In the past Observing Heaven Grand Assemblies, the performance of the talents from the Southern Domain had always been among the lower ranks.

The Holy Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Can I really survive?"

"You think too highly of yourself. Does our Majesty still need to worry about you? There are at least four or more experts at the level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal around our Majesty!" Nezha sneered, feeling a sense of urgency in his heart.

Tomorrow is the Observing Heaven Grand Assembly. If the Holy Emperor still refuses to agree to open the Observing Heaven Grand Assembly, wouldn't he disappoint Lord Qin?

And who doesn't know that Lord Qin is exceptionally interested in the Observing Heaven Grand Assembly?

Upon hearing this, the bitterness on the Holy Emperor's face became more apparent. Having lived under the control of the Temple for thousands of years had intensified his fear of death, even more so than an ordinary person.

But he was unwilling to be manipulated by Lord Qin like this.

Just then, a heavenly soldier ran in and knelt before Nezha, saying, "General, there is a Taiyi Golden Immortal expert who claims to be Li Jing, paying respects to His Majesty. His Majesty is very pleased and has specially arranged a banquet for him, hoping that you will attend!"

A Taiyi Golden Immortal expert!

The Holy Emperor took in a sharp breath, and Nezha widened his eyes, cursing in surprise, "Li Jing? How did that old man come here?"

With that, he stood up in a flash and then disappeared on the spot.

On the other side, in the palace personally bestowed the name of the Emperor's Palace by Lord Qin, Lord Qin and others were surrounding three individuals.

These three were none other than the Taotie Li Tianwang and Qianliyan Shunfenger, who had come to pay respects to Lord Qin.

Li Jing, clad in armor and wearing a golden-winged black jade crown, held the Taotie in his left hand. He stood in the center of the group, towering and imposing like an iron tower.

Qianliyan and Shunfenger appeared somewhat inconspicuous next to him. Both of them were slender compared to Li Jing, resembling his attendants. From their appearances, the two of them looked somewhat similar. Lord Qin noticed that Qianliyan's eyes were constantly emitting light, while Shunfenger had very long ears.

"Li Jing, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Your son has shown outstanding performance under my command," Lord Qin said with a smile. Li Jing, the Taotie Li Tianwang, was undoubtedly the Grand Marshal for vanquishing demons in the Heavenly Court, and his military prowess was unquestionable.

Compared to the Marshal Tianpeng, his position as the Grand Marshal for vanquishing demons carried more weight.

"It's a great relief that my son hasn't caused any trouble for Your Majesty," Li Jing said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Who is your son?" Li Yuanba scratched his head and asked. Upon learning that Li Jing was a Taiyi Golden Immortal expert, he couldn't help but want to have a sparring match right then and there, but he was stopped by Lord Qin.

At present, the gods and demons summoned by Lord Qin could be stacked into a pyramid.

Among the Taiyi Golden Immortal experts were the Nine Spirit Saint, Nezha, King Huangfeng, Chang'e, and Taotie Li Tianwang. Apart from the Old Master Yi, the Nine Spirit Saint was the most powerful figure under Lord Qin.

The Golden Immortal experts included Yuan Hong, Dragon-subduing Arhat, Giant Spirit God, Lei Zhenzi, Earth Traveling Sage, and Golden Body Arhat Sha Wujing.

The True Immortal gods and demons included Shen Gongbao, Red Boy, Li Yuanba, Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and Howling Celestial Hound.

The Heavenly Immortal gods and demons included the Eight Immortals, Qianliyan Shunfenger, Tai Bai Jin Xing, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Li Cunxiao, Li Bai, Black and White Impermanence, and Guan Yu were all at the Earth Immortal level, while those at the Illusory Transformation level included Fa Hai, Bai Qi, Daji, and Xiao Li.

Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Jiao were not considered in terms of their cultivation level, as they were civil officials.

As for those brought out from the gods and demons' copies and legions, they were counted separately by Lord Qin.

If the forces of the Great Qin Heavenly Court were not taken into account, the number of Earth Immortal experts under Lord Qin was approaching five hundred, with over a hundred Heavenly Immortal experts. The Eighty-One Generals of the Nine Li Demon Army accounted for a large proportion, and not to mention the Illusory Transformation level, where the Heavenly River Navy and the Nine Li Demon Army together totaled fifteen thousand.

If the Great Qin Heavenly Court was included, the power in Lord Qin's hands would at least increase tenfold!

"My son is Nezha," Li Jing said with a smile, but a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

Only Lord Qin knew about the grudge between Li Jing and Nezha, which was like a plot from a prime-time drama.

Nezha!

Everyone took in a sharp breath, even the Old Master Yi and the Nine Spirit Saint looked at Li Jing in astonishment.

Both father and son were Taiyi Golden Immortal experts?

Damn!

Do you possess the bloodline of the Great Luo, to be so powerful?

At that moment, Nezha suddenly flew into the palace. Li Jing couldn't help but turn to look at him, and as their eyes met, both of them burst out with their auras, startling everyone to step back.

Old Master Yi, the Nine Spirit Saint, Chang'e, and King Huangfeng all looked at them in astonishment. You are father and son, why are you confronting each other like this?

Lord Qin suddenly had a headache. What should have happened had indeed happened.

"Nezha, how is the situation with the Holy Emperor?" Lord Qin quickly changed the subject. If two Taiyi Golden Immortal experts were to fight, it would be disastrous.

Nezha looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer, as the Holy Emperor had not yet compromised.

Seeing this, Lord Qin frowned, and the atmosphere in the grand hall became somewhat eerie.

After being bestowed the title of the Emperor of Qi, even a slight frown from Lord Qin could exert immense pressure on people. Even those with higher cultivation levels than him couldn't help but feel nervous under his psychological influence.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? I can help the child to complete the task together," Li Jing spoke up, making Nezha, who was already feeling somewhat embarrassed, instantly furious.

"I don't need your help!" Nezha shouted angrily, causing ringing in the ears of everyone below the Golden Immortal level, including Qin Jun.

Damn it!

Trying to scare people to death with such a loud voice!

Qin Jun looked resentfully at Nezha, but Nezha, who was at odds with Li Jing, didn't notice.

"Don't make a scene, the task assigned by His Majesty is the most important!" Li Jing sternly ordered. Although he didn't like Nezha, he knew how to prioritize. After all, he wasn't the most powerful person under Qin Jun, and he needed to achieve some results.

Upon hearing this, Nezha had to shut his mouth.

"Alright, you father and son go and handle it together, it must be completed by tomorrow!" Qin Jun said in a deep voice. If he couldn't attend the Heavenly Observation Conference, he would be demoted by five levels by the system, returning to the Illusory Realm overnight.

"Yes!"

Nezha and Li Jing said in unison, then turned and left, ready to return to the heavenly prison to continue their interrogation.

Qin Jun felt uneasy, but this matter was too difficult. With the Emperor's heart set on it, how could he make it happen?

"Your Majesty, will the banquet still be held?" Liu Bowen asked cautiously.

"Of course! It will be held! We will celebrate the extraordinary abilities of Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear," Qin Jun waved his hand and smiled.
