"If that's the case, this vassal cannot shirk his duty!" Li Jing said firmly.
A smile crept across the Jade Emperor's face, "This time I allow you to use all your power to bring these blasphemers to justice."
"Your will shall be done!"
Li Jing, full of zeal, left the Lingxiao Treasured Palace, ready to organize his forces for battle, and this time he was confident.
The Eastern King is unlike the Demon Clan; lacking the support of a vast race means there is a limited potential for war. Even if there are many victories, a single failure could lead to complete ruin.
The war between the Heavenly Court and the Eastern King was just like this, especially since the Eastern King's attempt to seize the Heavenly Throne from the Jade Emperor had failed, leading to much of his fate being usurped by the Jade Emperor.
The current Eastern King is but a nuisance hiding in the shadows; if he were truly out in the open, he would stand no chance against the Heavenly Court.
