To the Heavenly Emperor, everything Evil Sword Immortal had done was merely a game, nothing worth mentioning.
As for the people Evil Sword Immortal had killed, once Jing Tian destroyed Evil Sword Immortal, the Heavenly Emperor only needed to put in a word with King Yama to bring them back to life. By then, the Heavenly Emperor's virtuous reputation would spread throughout the Six Realms.
