"What?"
"Marshal Tianpeng was actually so bold as to dare offend Fairy Chang'e?!"
"This Tianpeng's gall reaches the heavens! To commit such a grave crime in the Heavenly Court—may Your Majesty swiftly send men to seize this wretch!"
The Spirit Official's words were like one stone stirring up a thousand waves at the grand banquet, and the gathered immortals erupted in outrage, one after another voicing condemnation.
Lu Chuan saw that, among them, the ones speaking the most were mostly immortals from the old Xiqi Faction.
Ji Chang had many sons. Though some were adopted, many had ascended to heaven after death and been invested as gods, and now they had formed a faction in the Heavenly Court.
Ji Fa's smile carried a chill as he looked toward Lu Chuan's side.
Lu Chuan said nothing. If he did not speak, the immortals of the North Heaven Gate division naturally would have no objections either.
It was just that the crime Tianpeng had committed this time was truly rather serious.
In the Heavenly Court, private affection between men and women was absolutely a grave offense. Once discovered, it would never be treated lightly; it had always been punished severely, and the usual outcome was being cast down to the mortal realm.
Because Heavenly Law stipulated that such immortals would sully the sanctity of the Heavenly Court.
This time, even if Tianpeng had merely behaved frivolously toward any random immortal maiden, his end would definitely not be pleasant—let alone when it was Fairy Chang'e, who had so many brainless fans.
Upon hearing the report, the Jade Emperor's expression darkened. Though there was no anger on his face, he carried an awe of his own, and a feeling that left the minds of all the gods and immortals incomparably oppressed arose of itself.
