Qin Fen was powerful now, the number one figure in the Heavenly Court. Naturally, Maitreya asked him, and there was nothing wrong with that—it was simply to get to the bottom of things. But that one question made Big Dipper's heart tremble, as he thought Qin Fen had joined forces with the Buddhist School as well.
The signal had already been sent. Ziwei instantly felt a pang in his chest, Gouchen grew anxious, and the Jade Emperor grew even more anxious. His lower half was about to become unsalvageable, and upon hearing that the other side was involved with Maitreya too, he immediately ran off to Yuanshi Tianzun for help, pants practically around his ankles.
As Hongjun's most favored disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun naturally caught wind from the Heavenly Dao and immediately sent capable men to back up the Jade Emperor.
Because of a single remark from Maitreya, things had turned into the current situation. The three Imperial Lords had mobilized everything they had and gone all out. The spectacle was naturally enormous—far beyond Yellowbrow's imagination.
Yellowbrow looked at his master now, completely speechless. Were you here to help me, or to screw with me? Forget leaving—getting through this mess in one piece would already be a miracle.
Seeing the Heavenly Court's side packed with people, Maitreya was displeased as well. "Are you trying to bully us with numbers?"
He saw the Jade Emperor's hesitant expression and understood. The Jade Emperor probably did not want this either. Ziwei and Gouchen were both here, and they were Qin Fen's people.
Maitreya understood. Qin Fen wanted to move against his disciple. "Where is Dongwang Gong? Why has he not come to see me?"
It would have been better if he had not said that. The moment he did, the Jade Emperor's mouth twitched.
