Just when Zi Wei was beginning to rise after the disappearance of King Yuqing, Ji Changsheng returned. If he dispatched his chief general before even making his presence known, how would he sit at the table with the Six Emperors in the future?
How would the other immortals view him?
When venturing outside, one must maintain the Heavenly Emperor's dignity by oneself.
After all, Empress Nuwa only mentioned hosting a Flat Peach Banquet for Ji Changsheng. She didn't mention killing Tianpeng.
So, Zi Wei gritted his teeth and chose to continue to support his favorite general: "This matter is significant, Luo Hou is the ancestor of evil spirits, and we can't trust what he says. Your Majesty, I suggest apprehending Tianpeng first, dealing with him after the Flat Peach Assembly, and leaving us time for further investigation."
Cao Ziming sneered: "The evidence is all here, undeniable, yet the Star Master claims to need further investigation, perhaps more time to destroy some evidence."
