The Jade Emperor: Enough, the army sets out

The Jade Emperor was at a loss for words. He sighed and said, "Fine. Since you were recommending talent for our Heavenly Court and merely failed to notice it for a moment, I'll let it be recorded for now. The urgent matter is to capture that demon monkey, recover... ah, severely punish the culprit!"

With that, the Jade Emperor turned to Nezha and said, "Li Jing! Nezha!"

"The decree remains unchanged! Muster the troops at once, deploy the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, and march on Flower-Fruit Mountain! If that demon monkey escapes again this time, Li Jing will bring his head to see me!"

Hearing this, Nezha thought, Oh, if the demon monkey escapes, Li Jing has to bring his head to see him. Fine, then that monkey definitely won't be caught. I'll just go up, throw out a couple of perfunctory moves, and leave...

Watching Nezha's shifting expression, Li Jing thought, Something's wrong. There are twelve parts wrong with Nezha's expression out of ten... That brat looks like he's holding back some scheme to screw me over. I can't let him take the lead this time. I should call Jin Zha and Mu Zha over. Though they've gone to the Buddhist Sect now, I should still be able to summon them.

With that thought, Li Jing secretly sent voice transmissions to Jin Zha and Mu Zha, calling them over to help. Then, taking his son and one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers—on paper—he made his way toward Flower-Fruit Mountain in a scattered, straggling procession...

The Jade Emperor watched Li Jing's scattered hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and said, "Mm, not bad. When the time comes, he can claim pensions from the Buddhist Sect for at least ninety-eight thousand of them. Interesting..."

Wenzhong looked at Li Jing's troops and secretly chuckled.
