Chapter 728 Doubt

Although the jade gift from Emperor Gou Chen was simple, it had ulterior motives.

The Gou Chen Imperial Palace is responsible for the human warfare and can inform all forces in the heavens and myriad worlds of the war in their world or region. However, whether the Gou Chen Imperial Palace notifies the forces in the heavens and myriad worlds of the war situation depends on the Gou Chen Imperial Palace itself.

For example: The Tang Dynasty is the orthodox human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm. The Gou Chen Imperial Palace can inform the Tang Dynasty of a war somewhere in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Of course, it is normal for the Gou Chen Imperial Palace to ignore the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, it was not uncommon for the Gou Chen Imperial Palace to report military situations to the human race. However, such a small matter would never alarm the Gou Chen Emperor; even such a matter was not qualified to alarm Wu Zhiqi, the general of the Gou Chen Imperial Palace. But the Gou Chen Emperor sent the Monkey King to report the war situation in the Earthly Immortal Realm to the Tang Dynasty, which was a bit unbelievable.

The Monkey King is the commander-in-chief who guards the Gou Chen Imperial Palace and has an extraordinary status. It can be said that the Monkey King represents the Gou Chen Emperor outside the Gou Chen Imperial Palace.

The Emperor Gou Chen personally issued an order, and the Monkey King conveyed it. This situation was indeed somewhat shocking. However, what the Emperor Gou Chen Palace sent to him was the insignificant wars in various regions of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty court was puzzled by the actions of the Emperor Gou Chen Palace.

Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Mr. Zhuge, our human race has never had any contact with this Emperor Gou Chen. This letter sent by the Emperor Gou Chen Palace at this time is really strange."

Zhuge Liang knew about this powerful Emperor Gou Chen. When the Lingming Stone Monkey rose to power, Shouyang Mountain also studied the Lingming Stone Monkey carefully. After all, the Lingming Stone Monkey was destined to be calamity, and the human race could not ignore him. But before the human race could figure out the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Monkey King made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, rose completely, and became the Western Emperor Gou Chen of the Heavenly Palace.

Originally, the human race also wanted to support the Great Emperor Gou Chen to secure his throne. But the Great Emperor Gou Chen's methods were so amazing that before all the forces in the heavens and the myriad worlds could react, the Great Emperor took control of the Gou Chen Palace with lightning speed and completely secured his throne.

After Emperor Gou Chen firmly took the throne, the demon troops under his command were naturally exposed.

Because all the important officials under the Gou Chen Emperor were from the demon race, the human race was very cautious about the Gou Chen Emperor. As for the immortals and gods under the Gou Chen Emperor's palace who were born in the human race and those who were about to join the Gou Chen Emperor's palace, the attitude of the human race on Shouyang Mountain was not to encourage, stop, or support them. In short, because of the large number of demons in the Gou Chen Emperor's palace, the human race now actually has no intersection with the Gou Chen Emperor's palace.

Zhuge Liang's consciousness scanned the jade pendant again and again, and suddenly, his tightly furrowed brows loosened: "Your Majesty, this letter from Emperor Gou Chen is all about reporting the war in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and it seems nothing unusual. However, Emperor Gou Chen mentioned Kui Niu in this letter."

Li Shimin said thoughtfully: "The Kuiniu that Mr. Zhuge mentioned is the leader of the Jiejiao Earthly Immortal Realm who is unparalleled in wisdom."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It is the leader of Jiejiao, Kuiniu. Before Emperor Gou Chen ascended to heaven, he became sworn brothers with six demon kings in Huaguo Mountain, and they were called the Seven Great Saints."

"The Seven Great Sages?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

When the Monkey King was enjoying himself in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the human race in the Southern Continent had already been in chaos because of the struggle for imperial hegemony. At that time, Li Shimin had no energy to pay attention to the Monkey King's sworn brotherhood.

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and said, "The Bull Demon King, who flattens the sky; the Lion King, who moves mountains; the Dragon Demon King, who covers the sea; the Peng Demon King, who mixes the sky; the Monkey King, who ventilates the air; the Ape King, who drives away the gods; and the Monkey King, who is the Great Emperor Gou Chen, are collectively known as the Seven Great Saints." Li Shimin was still a little puzzled and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, what is the relationship between these seven great saints and the head of Kuiniu Sect?"

Zhuge Liang said softly: "The Bull Demon King, the leader of the Seven Great Saints, is the Kuiniu Sect Leader!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "The head of Kuiniu Sect is the Great Saint Bull Demon King Pingtian, what about these seven great saints?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Yes, these seven great saints do have their own origins. The Great Saint Flattering the Sky, Bull Demon King, is the incarnation of the Sect Leader Kuiniu of Jiejiao; the Great Saint Moving Mountains, Lion King, is the second-generation disciple of Jiejiao under the saint, with immeasurable magical powers, and was once a great general of the ancient demon clan; the Great Saint Covering the Sea, Jiao Demon King, is a great man of the Jiaolong clan, a vassal of the Dragon clan; the Great Saint Mixing the Sky, Peng Demon King, is a descendant of the Phoenix clan, and the younger brother of the Buddhist Peacock King; the Great Saint Ventilating the Ventilation, Monkey King, was originally a demon king under the command of the North Sea Demon Master Palace, but now he has surrendered to Emperor Gou Chen and is the commander who guards the Emperor Gou Chen's palace; the Great Saint Driving Gods, Yu Monkey King, once secretly worked for the Jade Emperor, but now he has also surrendered to Emperor Gou Chen, commanding the army and guarding the West Heaven Gate for Emperor Gou Chen."

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had experienced countless storms. After a little thought, he instantly realized that the seven great saints were probably pushed by various forces to make friends with the Monkey King. The Monkey King was calculated by various forces, but he was able to take advantage of the situation to subdue the Macaque King and the Ape King. He was worthy of being the Emperor Gou Chen.

"Mr. Zhuge, the seven saints probably have their own thoughts when they swore brotherhood, and they may not be sincere. But why did Emperor Gou Chen praise Master Kuiniu so much in his letter?"

Zhuge Liang said, "Your Majesty, regarding Emperor Gou Chen, all the wise men in Shouyang Mountain unanimously believe that there is a powerful force behind Emperor Gou Chen. When Emperor Gou Chen caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, his scheme to plot against Buddhism and the Heavenly Palace was amazing. If there was no powerful force behind him, Emperor Gou Chen would never have done that."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he said in a loud voice: "It's Xuanmen."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know! There are many people involved behind the Emperor Gou Chen, including the three sects of Xuanmen, the Wa Palace, the demon clan, and even Buddhism."

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and nodded, agreeing with Zhuge Liang's suspicion. Although Emperor Gou Chen calculated Buddhism and the Heavenly Court, it cannot rule out the doubts of Emperor Gou Chen and Buddhism and the Heavenly Court. After all, although the self-torture plan is not brilliant, it is very practical.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he said, "Mr. Zhuge, is Jiejiao going to end?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Emperor Gou Chen sent this strange letter at this time. Although the expression is very obscure, it is undoubtedly on the side of Jiejiao."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "During this great calamity, Jiejiao even gave the quota of people who should be calamity-bearing to the dragon clan. It is obvious that Jiejiao does not want to be involved in the great calamity, but why did Jiejiao end up like this? In addition, did Emperor Gou Chen do this to plot against Jiejiao or to stand on Jiejiao's side? If Jiejiao really ended up like this, was it for the Tang Dynasty's imperial master or for the great calamity?"

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly!

Although he was extremely wise, he still did not understand the deeper meaning behind Emperor Gou Chen's actions.

He sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, we will just wait and see what happens next. The Great Emperor Gou Chen has made a move, and Jiejiao will definitely respond. We will just wait and see what Jiejiao does."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, but doubts still loomed in his heart!
In recent years, the most famous and most feared person in the universe is the newly promoted Emperor Gou Chen!
