Peerless War God

Because there have been a lot of recent battles and I have also gained a lot of insights in them, thus, my breakthrough speed has indeed been a little bit faster. However, Your Majesty can be assured that this kid will naturally stabilize his foundation!    

When these words came out, quite a few people immediately praised the beauty of the answer in their hearts.    

The Heavenly Emperor's words were obviously asking the reason of Chen Xiao's rapid improvement in cultivation. Chen Xiao's answer was like the Heavenly Emperor was concerned about the stability of Chen Xiao's foundation, it seemed like the Emperor was concerned about his subjects. Although it blocked the Heavenly Emperor's question, it still gave the Heavenly Emperor enough face.    

In response to Chen Xiao's reply, the Celestial Emperor narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Duan Wang and said with a smile, "King Duan, you should also tell me what happened that day. If there is a meritorious general, you must not miss out on it!"    

"Yes sir!"    

Duan Wang replied respectfully, then slowly recounted the events of that day.    

During this time, he mentioned Yang Qing, Chen Xiao, and Yuan Shang. As for Lieutenant, he naturally mentioned them as well.    

All in all, he wanted to do his best to get credit for his men.    

After receiving credit, he naturally mentioned the matter of killing the King. After he finished his story, Chen Xiao's utility was also exposed by Duan Wang.    

From what Duan Wang said, Chen Xiao had played an indelible role in the process of killing the King.    

When Duke Duan's narration was complete, the other three Heavenly Kings each reported their gains. However, compared to Duan Wang and close guard, they were inferior. Who told King Cheng to be killed here?    

After the discussion, everyone stood below and looked at the Celestial Emperor in anticipation, quietly waiting.    

When no one spoke, the Celestial Emperor immediately understood what was going on. He glanced at Steward Sima, who was standing to the side, then slowly said, "Since the thieves have already been killed, then we need to arrange for new people to take over the territories under his helmet. Otherwise, it would be bad if those traitors take advantage of the situation to cause trouble!"    

"Yes!" Your Majesty's words make sense! "    

The group of people instantly felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and began to crazily kiss up to him.    

Seeing the excited expressions of the crowd below, the Celestial Emperor sat on the ground and watched coldly from the sidelines.    

Only when the heated discussion gradually died down did he slowly say: "We will follow the original tradition. We will arrange for four new Celestial Kings to take over the throne from the territory under the Emperor's helmet. What do you think?"    

"Your majesty is wise!"    

Yan Hui, who was also the father-in-law of the Celestial Emperor, was the first to speak out in support.    

The next to follow was Xing Wu!    

"Your majesty is wise, that's how it should be!"    

"His Majesty is in charge of everything!"    

The four Heavenly Kings — King Duan, Wen Wang, Xiang Wang, and Meng Wang — all cupped their hands in acknowledgement.    

Not just the four of them, even the Twelve Paths of Heavenly Kings nodded in agreement. No one on the scene dared to object.    

Seeing how obedient this group of people were, the smile on the Heavenly Emperor's face grew even wider.    

He continued to speak: "Alright, since that is the case, who do you all think should take on the four new positions of Heavenly King?"    

When those words came out, the scene immediately became lively!    

At this moment, no one was humble. Even Xing Wu, who had always been submissive, was instantly excited. He began to recommend his subordinates to get benefits for his subordinates.     

As for the four people — Duan Wang, Wen Wang, Xiang Wang, and Meng Wang — they all hurriedly reported the report to their respective generals.    

The difference was, other than reporting Yang Qing's name, Duan Wang also reported Chen Xiao's name.    

"Duan Wang, although this Vice General Chen Xiao has done a great service this time, he is still just a Vice General under your command. Now that you directly chose him to take on such a big responsibility, will he have sufficient experience?" "Besides, it doesn't make any sense in terms of official positions. How can you just skip over there and take on the role?"    

Some people even started to capture Duan Wang's words and started to attack him.    

"Hmph, no one can erase Chen Xiao's immortal military exploits after killing Cheng Wang. Master Xing saw it with his own eyes, and His Majesty said that whoever kills these traitors will get the throne. I'll fight for Chen Xiao, is there anything wrong with that?"    

Duan Wang was similarly tit for tat.    

On this point, Duan Wang could be said to not have given in at all.    

Soon after, the other new kings also joined in the fray.    

However, something unexpected happened!    

Yan Shuai suddenly coughed lightly, following that, he slowly took a step forward and cupped his hands towards the Heavenly Emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, this old subject believes that other than the territories under the Royal Helmsman, the territories under the King Chang Wang, and the Overlord's Headland should also be taken advantage of and tidied up. Those two are missing now, yet they are mixed with the King Cheng Jiang, which can be considered to be part of the villains, Your Majesty has been merciful, and has not directly removed the two from the position of Heavenly King, but in my opinion, why not take this opportunity to remove them, and also take the opportunity to leave the Heavenly Emperor's position to save those who are in the abyss!"    

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy crowd instantly turned silent.    

Everyone's gaze turned towards Yan Hui. They never thought that Yan Hui would suddenly bring up this matter.    

Although everyone knew that the Overlord and Chang Wang had rebelled, no one dared to bring it up first, but Yan Hui was different. From the beginning to the end, the Yan family had never fought for power in the Heavenly Court.    

Of course, more importantly, if it was really as Yan Hui had said, removing the two fellows' positions as Heavenly Kings would mean that the Heavenly Court would have another eight Heavenly Kings for no reason!    

This way, they would have a higher chance of getting it!    

Just as Yan Hui's words fell, while everyone was still in a daze, Duan Wang suddenly said, "This subject thinks Commander Yan's words are reasonable. Those two are now with the rebels and can no longer be considered as members of the Heavenly Court. Although His Majesty is kind, he cannot tolerate them forever. In my opinion, Your Majesty should issue an edict to kill these thieves!"    

"Right, this old official agrees!"    

"I second that!"    

"I second that!"    

… ….    

The quarrelsome voices instantly disappeared, and everyone cupped their hands in agreement. It could be said that it was the place where everyone expected it to be.    

As for the Heavenly Emperor, he glanced at Yan Hui, withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile: "Since it's a joint request from everyone, then let's do it this way. As for the candidates, I'll leave them to you guys to recommend!"    

When these words were spoken, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar.    

All sorts of discussions and referees' voices started flowing in again.    

It was a good thing that because there were enough seats this time, they quickly came to a preliminary conclusion.
