A Grand Spectacle the Heavenly Court Had Not Seen in a Century! What If I-Refuse to Let Him Go?!

"Brother Lord God of Wealth, what does this mean?!"

Star Lord of Water Virtue hurriedly helped Lord God of Wealth to his feet, knowing something major must have happened.

"Brother Water Virtue, I have an urgent matter to ask of you today. I hope you will grant it!"

"No rush. Sit down and tell me slowly." Star Lord of Water Virtue was about to lead him to a seat.

"There's no time!" Lord God of Wealth abruptly waved a hand, his expression turning grave. "Brother Water Virtue, my sworn younger brother... something happened to him!"

"Little Friend Lu?!"

Lord God of Wealth nodded, then proceeded to recount the entire matter, every detail in proper measure...

Meanwhile, at Cloud Tower Palace.

Upon the cloud platform, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King sat in his golden body, divine light swirling in his palm as he poured all his strength into refining that World Nexus.

—Rumble!!!

A wild and violent divine might swept in from the horizon like a raging sea, making even the glazed tiles of Cloud Tower Palace tremble without end!

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King frowned slightly, unable to hide his surprise. "They came so quickly?"

—Hmph!

The next moment, a cold smile tugged at his lips. "A mere Plague Department dares to barge into this marshal's Cloud Tower Palace with such a paltry force? They do not know their own limits!—Giant Spirit God, Four Heavenly Kings!"

"Your subordinates are here!"

Several streaks of rainbow light swept into the hall, and they all knelt, clasping their fists.

"Go muster the troops at once. Lead the Fish-Belly General, Yaksha General, and Exquisite Guard to hold the central army. Honored guests have arrived at our door—how could we fail to greet them properly?"

With that, he tossed down the marshal's command token.

"Yes, Marshal!"
