Debut

Chen Tong held a blade of grass in his mouth, leaning back leisurely against a large rock, feeling that the midday sun was indeed a bit dazzling.

At this time, a white cat was also by his side, constantly fanning him with a lotus leaf.

Chen Tong exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "This life is truly wonderful, like being an immortal."

"I just don't know how things are going with Sun Wukong over there."

Chen Tong flipped over, and another white cat began to massage his back.

"I bet he's already scammed quite a few pills from Taishang Laojun by now."

He chuckled. If Taishang Laojun knew, he'd probably regret it to his core.

[Instance Quest 3: Stop Zhu Bajie from becoming a pig!]

Chen Tong raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

However, on second thought, it was quite normal.

Those who plotted this grand scheme would naturally not allow any failures.

Since that was the case, it seemed he needed to make a move as well.

Chen Tong's smile was brilliant. It could be said that the protagonist truly needed to make their grand entrance at the very end.

Chen Tong waved his hand, and the illusory white cats disappeared.

He coughed and said, "System, how do I get to the Heavenly Court?"

[Host only needs to jump into this well, and you will appear before Tian Peng.]

Immediately after, a dark, large well appeared before Chen Tong.

The aura of this large well was very ordinary, yet it gave off a sense of profound antiquity.

As for the patterns on it, ancient exotic beasts were densely inscribed upon them.

Chen Tong peered into the well's opening and his mouth twitched.

This didn't seem like the grand entrance he had imagined.

According to his plan, it should have been incredibly cool and impressive.

Having him jump into a well now felt somewhat inconsistent with his image...

Chen Tong swallowed, not daring to make a sound. Without a second word, he plunged headfirst into the well.

The Jade Emperor coldly shouted, "Tian Peng, what explanation do you have?"

"With both witnesses and evidence present, I truly can't believe you dared to be so arrogant and act so recklessly. You've disgraced the Heavenly Court completely."

The Jade Emperor's gaze was extremely cold.

At this moment, Tian Peng still wanted to make a final struggle, saying, "I did not do this. Someone else is responsible. I am truly being framed."

"I implore the Jade Emperor to administer justice and clear Tian Peng's name."

Tian Peng paused and continued, "Just now, I was sealed within a barrier, and my five senses were stripped away."

The Golden Boy let out a cold laugh and said, "What utter nonsense. We all saw you grab Guanghan Fairy's hand."

"Tian Peng, we truly misjudged you."

"Do you really think we'd believe such a lie? Do you think we're ignorant children?"

Wugu Star sighed.

Seeing this, Tian Peng finally understood that he was utterly unable to defend himself today, and these people would never believe him.

He also knew that his fate today was sealed, and these people had already designed his end.

"Since you don't believe me, then I suppose we'll have to resort to force."

Tian Peng said coldly.

"It's truly unexpected, Tian Peng. You committed the act, and now you intend to attack us. We originally thought that if you showed any remorse, we might have pleaded with the Jade Emperor for a lighter sentence."

The Grand Unity Heavenly Immortal shook his head upon hearing this.

In an instant, everyone's stance seemed to have been taken.

However, not a single person stood on Tian Peng's side.

Tian Peng looked at Guanghan Fairy and asked, "Do you believe me?"

"How utterly laughable! You treated me so disrespectfully, and you still expect me to believe you?"

Guanghan Fairy glared angrily.

"Very well, very well, very well."

Tian Peng said "very well" three times in a row, and a profound sense of despair washed over him.

He couldn't escape this trap after all.

"Since you don't believe me, then so be it."

Tian Peng held the Nine-toothed Rake in his hand, his gaze filled with a resolute expression.

"Tian Peng, is this your choice, to stand against the entire Heavenly Court alone?"

The Jade Emperor spoke coldly.

"As you can see."

Tian Peng met the Jade Emperor's gaze directly.

"It didn't have to come to this."

The Jade Emperor added.

"You forced my hand. You fabricated something out of nothing and pinned it on me."

The Nine-toothed Rake in Tian Peng's hand felt ice-cold.

The Guanghan Fairy hesitated slightly upon seeing Tian Peng and was about to say something.

However, Tian Peng said, "Guanghan Fairy, in this life, Tian Peng has never harbored any improper thoughts towards you."

"It's just a pity that we truly can't even maintain the status of friends anymore."

The Guanghan Fairy's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Guanghan Fairy, don't listen to his nonsense! Hurry over to our side, or Tian Peng will take you hostage, and things will become difficult then."

The Guanghan Fairy's lips parted slightly, but a minor immortal beside her immediately pulled her away.

"Ah!"

At this moment, a piercing scream rang out.

Everyone present was surprised, wondering where the sound came from.

As for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother Niangniang, they both stood up from their seats.

All eyes began to search around.

The sound was incredibly penetrating.

Suddenly, a large black hole appeared in the sky.

"Me???"

Chen Tong was filled with a million question marks.

What kind of ridiculous entrance was this? If he fell, he'd probably die of embarrassment.

Chen Tong's mind began to race.

He immediately performed a backflip and landed on one knee.

"I truly didn't expect everyone to welcome me so warmly. Chen Tong is deeply honored."

Chen Tong brushed the dust off his clothes, a smile on his face.

At this moment, everyone in the Heavenly Court was utterly astonished.

They were completely bewildered by the man who had suddenly appeared.

How did he get here, and who was this man?!

"Fellow Daoist, why have you appeared here?"

Nezha asked.

"I'm here for no major reason. I simply came to help Tian Peng."

Chen Tong said casually, exuding an air of a master.

Tian Peng looked surprised and asked, "Benefactor, is that you?"

Chen Tong was taken aback and replied, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

A warmth flowed through Tian Peng's heart at that moment.

He hadn't expected someone to still believe him at a time like this.
