Chapter 372 Searching the Mortal World, You Are the One

The military organization of Heaven is not limited to the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals under Li Jing.

The Thunder Department has a total of thirty-six generals and gods, with one hundred thousand thunder soldiers under their command. They are responsible for moving clouds and laying mines, killing ghosts and deterring evil spirits.

All the ghosts, demons and monsters in the mortal world are terrified when they hear the thunder in the sky, because the thunder soldiers are lined up above the thunderclouds, ready to strike.

The Dou Department has 56,000 evil stars, the Fire Department also has 10,000 fire crow soldiers, the Water Department has 10,000 divine water soldiers, and the Tianhe Department has permanent naval forces patrolling the river.

The key strategic locations of the Five Mountains and the Four Seas in the mortal world are also guarded by the emperor's personal guards and the Dragon King's naval soldiers.

Each major military organization has its own responsibilities, and many of the arms do not participate in close combat.

The thunder soldiers of the Thunder Department only carry out targeted clearing missions above thunderclouds.

The soldiers of the Fire Department and the Water Department were responsible for carrying the immortal tools for setting fire and flooding, and carrying out large-scale water and fire bombings under the command of the gods of each department.

The evil stars of the Dou Department patrol the sea of ​​stars, blocking the demons from outer space.

The Tianhe navy was more like a garrison, solely responsible for patrolling the river and guarding the prisoners in the Tianhe water prison.

Among the many armies, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals led by Li Jing were the busiest. They could be described as the fourth-rate marines of heaven, and they had to take on all the dirty and tiring work.

For example, this time the seven fairies under the Queen Mother's seat disappeared, and the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were once again obliged to take on the responsibility and were pushed to the front line.

After all, the Heavenly Court has no criminal investigation department and no detective priests, so they can only use the stupid method of using a large number of people to conduct a dragnet-style search.

Hunting for the Seven Fairies was not the worst job that the heavenly soldiers and generals had ever taken on. After all, they also took on jobs like digging rat holes and catching rat spirits.

What's even more tragic is that after catching the mouse with great effort, Li Jing even recognized the mouse as his goddaughter and then turned around and let it go.

Wen Rui had no choice but to accept the bad job that should have been taken by Li Jing, even though he was unwilling.

With everything tacitly understood, he was extremely happy to accept the order, without uttering a word of complaint, leaving no excuse for the Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother.

But accepting an order is one thing, but it does not mean accepting the cause and effect. There is a huge difference here.

If Wen Rui had not responded to the Queen Mother's accusation, he would have to bear all the consequences of the disappearance of the Seven Fairies. As the saying goes, every cause has its effect. Since the cause of the disappearance of the Seven Fairies is Wen Rui, he must bear the consequences of their disappearance.

This is the law of cause and effect that even gods dare not violate.

Just like the butterfly effect, often the cause of a disaster is just the flapping of a butterfly's wings, but the result is a storm.

Although Wen Rui accepted the task as part of his duty, he was just doing his job and following orders.

Whether the seven fairies are dead or alive, and whether capturing them is right or wrong, has nothing to do with Wen Rui. All the chain reactions, collateral damages and consequences generated during the search and capture process will not be blamed on Wen Rui.

Wen Rui has not been a deity for long, but he has a lot of experience. He watched helplessly as the Jiejiao immortals were ignorantly involved in the cause and effect and died, so he naturally acted cautiously and treaded on thin ice.

Otherwise, why is it said that cultivating immortals is not all about fighting and killing? There are too many calculations involved. If you are not careful, you will be inexplicably killed by a sentence like "Daoyou, please stay."

After receiving the Jade Emperor's order, Wen Rui looked constipated and was about to leave to do his job, but the Jade Emperor stopped him, "Emperor Wen, don't rush to recruit troops. After all, the Seven Fairies are the fairies of Yaochi, and their identities are extraordinary. Their disappearance this time may not be because they miss the mortal world, but there may be difficulties and hidden reasons."

Wen Rui said angrily: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will try my best to keep them alive and ensure that the living can be seen in person, and the dead can be seen in the body." "How dare you!"

Before the Jade Emperor could say anything, the Queen Mother became angry and shouted, "I command you to bring them back safely!"

Wen Rui said coldly, "My queen, the situation is unclear right now, so I can't guarantee anything. If they didn't flee to the lower world to hide, but were attacked on their way down, I'm afraid they've been killed or injured, or maybe all of them are dead. It would be great if we can find their bodies."

This sentence really choked the Queen Mother.

Wen Rui continued, "If the two saints already know the whereabouts of the seven fairies and have confirmed that they are safe, please inform me so that I can save myself a lot of trouble. I will go and bring them back respectfully. In that case, they can be guaranteed to return to heaven safely."

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother looked at each other with regret on their faces.

The Jade Emperor said, "I have ordered the celestial officials with clairvoyance and superb hearing to investigate, and also arranged for several celestial masters to divine and calculate, but all to no avail. I have no choice but to order you to mobilize the celestial soldiers and generals to search the heavens and the earth for a thorough investigation."

Wen Rui felt a headache when he heard this. He felt more and more that he had taken on a hot potato and had shielded Li Jing from disaster for nothing.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, thinking that Li Jing happened to be under his control, so why not return the property to its original owner and give him the trouble? Wen Rui said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will order Deputy Commander Li Jing to gather the heavenly soldiers and generals to search the lower world..."

"No!" The Jade Emperor seemed to see through Wen Rui's intentions and waved his hand decisively, saying, "I'm afraid that Li Tianwang can't do this job well. I heard that you are quite capable in the mortal world, and you have spies among the dragons, monsters, and humans in the four seas. It's better for you to do it yourself."

Even though Wen Rui managed his facial expressions very well, he almost failed and revealed a surprised expression.

These words from the Jade Emperor revealed almost all of his past experiences in the human world.

Sure enough, the Lord God who can sit on the throne of the King of Gods is definitely not an ordinary person and has profound attainments.

If we analyze that sentence carefully, it means that only the layout of the Demon Realm in the Underworld has not yet been discovered by the Jade Emperor.

Wen Rui was not surprised.

The Heavenly Palace has monitoring and eavesdropping talents such as the Clairvoyant and the Super Ear, as well as patrol personnel such as the Patrolling Heavenly Tai Sui and the Daily Gong Cao.

There are also countless mountain gods and local people who like to tell tales from others. It is not surprising that they would seriously check Wen Rui's information and find out everything about him.

However, Wen Rui could also analyze that the surveillance range of the Heavenly Court did not cover the Earth and the Demon Realm. If he caused a catastrophe in the future and was wanted by the Heavenly Court, he would not have to choose a place to hide.

Wen Rui reluctantly bowed his hands again and promised, "Since your majesty trusts me, I will personally lead the troops to the mortal world. But as I said before, under the premise of unclear situation, I can only do my best and cannot make any guarantees in advance."

The Queen Mother was about to speak, but the Jade Emperor raised his hand to stop her.

"Emperor Wen, I understand your difficulties, so I am sending Taibai Jinxing to accompany you to the lower world to assist you in military planning. If there are any difficult decisions, you can discuss them with him."

Taibai Jinxing, who had been standing in the imperial study from the beginning but had not said a word until now, walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wen, oh no, Emperor Wen." Taibai Jinxing said with a flattering smile, "I am fortunate to be able to work with the Emperor. How lucky I am! I hope the Emperor will take good care of me."

Wen Rui replied with a fake smile: "Brother Chang Geng, how are you? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much. Thanks to you, I was lucky enough to ascend to heaven and be crowned a god, and even an emperor. I never had a chance to thank you properly!"

He emphasized the word "thank you". Taibai Jinxing's smile became more and more stiff, and a drop of sweat slowly flowed down his forehead.
