Li Jing wailed as Nezha dragged him away!
Outside Lingxiao Palace, Ren had already assembled ten thousand Ziwei Army soldiers and placed them under Nezha's command!
With Li Jing dragged away, the goal of today's grand court assembly was mostly accomplished!
Wen Zhong relaxed a little, though he kept glancing at Ren with a strange look!
Wen Zhong knew his goal was to purge everyone tied to Buddhism from the Heavenly Court. He had expected a hard fight, especially when the Buddhists arrived. For a moment, completing the task had seemed almost impossible!

As Wen Zhong pieced it together, he looked at Ren with admiration. Ren was just as formidable at political maneuvering!
Inside Lingxiao Palace, much of the Jade Emperor's anger had finally faded. Ren had obtained Nezha's body from his previous life and, in the process, driven Buddhism out of the Heavenly Court!
The Interception Sect was delighted to see Buddhism suffer!
