Peerless War God

Not long after Yan Hui arrived, Steward Sima's voice suddenly sounded from a side hall behind the main hall, "His Majesty has arrived!"    

Soon after, the Celestial Emperor appeared, followed by Steward Sima and a group of maids.    

When the Celestial Emperor sat down on the Dragon Throne and Chief Eunuch Sima stood to the side, the crowd finally cupped their hands and bowed to the Celestial Emperor. "This subject pays his respect to Your Majesty!"    

"Ladies and gentlemen, dispense with formalities. This time, we will be convening a meeting to see if anyone has any opinions to voice out. Since Shao Aiqing and the rest were harmed by the rebels, and the Heavenly King's position is now vacant, we should settle this matter as soon as possible. Does anyone have anything that you wish to say? " The Heavenly Emperor slowly said as he swept his gaze across everyone present.    

Once those words were spoken, the crowd immediately burst into discussion.    

Everyone had been guessing from the very beginning that the purpose of this year's Imperial Court Assembly was to appoint another five Heavenly Kings. They had not expected that the Heavenly Emperor would call out a name right from the start.    

Joy instantly emerged on the faces of many existences with cultivations above the Divine Soul Realm. Some even involuntarily puffed out their chests, as if they wanted to attract the attention of the Heavenly Emperor.    

However, before the discussion had lasted for long, a Star Lord suddenly took two steps forward and clasped his hands at the Celestial Emperor, "Your Majesty, the title of Heavenly King is a matter of great importance. This time, King Shao and his men were killed by the rebels. They couldn't even find the reason, nor did they find any evidence against the rebels. This is absolutely not something that should have happened in the past! "    

"Oh? What do you want to say? " The Celestial Emperor raised his eyebrows.    

This subject believes that the title of Heavenly King cannot be trifled with. If I choose any other people who look down on me, it will only result in additional casualties and damage to the foundations of the Heavenly Court, so I might as well choose some suitable personnel to act as the representative for King Shao and the others who are vacant in the Heavenly King's position, instead of directly taking up the position. This way, if it's inappropriate, I can make adjustments in time. The Starlord continued to cup his hands in salute.    

The moment those words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar. Many of them had already started glaring at the Star Lord. They never expected that the moment he opened his mouth, everyone's plans would be ruined.    

To actually not recommend to His Majesty to choose any more people to be appointed as Heavenly Kings, isn't this just stopping them from climbing any further?    

Some among the crowd immediately stood up to oppose the order.    

However, at this moment, another Star Lord stood up and cupped his hands, "This subject also thinks that it should be like this. Recently, this subject has heard many rumors about the rebels and Shao Wang. Some of them are really unpleasant to hear, I don't know whether I should say them or not?"    

The Heavenly Emperor's eyes narrowed as he coldly stared at the person and said, "Speak!"    

"Recently, I have heard rumors saying that our Heavenly King is not as good as the rebel. Five Heavenly Kings were killed by the same rebel in a row, this makes them feel ashamed. There are rumors saying that if one does not have the ability, he should not sit in that position and embarrass the Heavenly Court!"    

Bang!    

The Celestial Emperor slapped the long table in front of him.    

The Starlord was so frightened that he fell to his knees. "I deserve to die!"    

The Heavenly Emperor's chest heaved violently a few times as he glared at the other party. In the end, he did not say anything.    

However, at this moment, King Duan suddenly took two steps forward and cupped his hands in a salute, "Your Majesty, this subject also thinks that it is reasonable, but this subject has actually heard some of the rumors, but I cannot fully trust them. Those people, most of them are ignorant, and do not know the cause and effect of the matter, and do not understand that King Shao and the others were most likely plotted after the ambush, so this conclusion is normal, but, in order to prevent these people from talking, we should be more careful in our future actions.    

If he were to establish a new king, he would have to focus on his cultivation, the ability to command a great army, and so on. He couldn't casually establish a new king, or there would be huge trouble for him.    

On the close guard's side, Marshal Xing is still searching for Chang Wang and the others. This matter should be decided as soon as possible so that we can restart the five Sky King's men and participate in the search for Chang Wang! "    

After he had finished speaking, he stood there cupping his hands.    

Almost at the same time, King Meng, King Yue, King Wen, Chen Xiao, King Yan, King Chu, and a group of people stepped forward.    

Seeing that the Heavenly Kings below had all stood up, the Heavenly Emperor's expression changed.    

He really did not expect that this group of people would unite on the front lines so quickly. He could not help but set his gaze on Yan Hui, who was at the very front.    

As the father-in-law of the Celestial Emperor, although he was not the most trusted confidant of the Celestial Emperor, he was definitely the most experienced and the most admirable person present.    

After attracting everyone's attention, Yan Hui slowly looked towards Duan Wang and the others. Smiling, he said, "Duan Wang and the others' proposal indeed requires serious consideration, especially for the Heavenly King position. We can't play any more games, I wonder if everyone has already found a suitable candidate to take on such a big responsibility?"    

As everyone knows, although Chen Wang, King Yue, and the others are all considered newly ascended Heavenly Kings, not only did they have outstanding performances, their ability to lead troops into battle was also extremely outstanding. I think that we should leave the troops under their command to them to temporarily manage the battles.    

"Give it to Chen Wang and the rest for the time being?" Yan Hui raised his eyebrows, and shook his head: "Chen Wang and the others do not oppose it for the time being, just that, Chen Wang and the others are already Heavenly Kings, and they also have over a million troops under their command. Is it appropriate to temporarily replace the other Heavenly Kings?"    

"If Chen Wang and the rest are not suitable, then there is nothing suitable in this world. Could it be that Commander Yan wants those who are only at the early stage of Divine Soul Realm, or have not even reached the level of Divine Soul Realm yet to take over the position of Heavenly King? Are you responsible for what happens to those people once they ascend to the throne? As for the close guard, most of us are from the close guard, and we know very well that there are not many experts left in the close guard. Back then, Chang Wang and the rest were able to control three to four million troops, but now, we are only in charge of a million troops, what's wrong with that? " Yan Wang said slowly.    

Hearing that, the other Heavenly Kings nodded as well, "That's right. Let's not talk about the past, even the Twelve-Way Marshal is able to control millions of troops now. How can us Heavenly Kings not control two million men? Wouldn't it be a joke if word got out? "
