Chapter 852: Keep Your Innocence in the World

The Jade Emperor stood up suddenly, his voice trembling with excitement: "My dear, are you saying that such a powerful supernatural power can be used at will? It doesn't need to consume any resources?"

"Strictly speaking, resources need to be invested in the early stages..."

Wen Rui frowned, his eyes fell on Taiyin Star Lord who was also dumbfounded, and said, "For example, occupying half of the sun and half of the moon, Taiyang Star Lord had already agreed to it, and he had no objection at all, and he fully cooperated and supported it. However, Taiyin Star Lord reported me to Lingxiao Palace and put a big hat on me."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Wen Zhong again, and he continued, "I underestimated her connections. I didn't expect that she could even ask my unreasonable father to back her up. She wanted to perform a drama of sacrificing relatives for the sake of justice in this Lingxiao Palace."

The sarcasm was evident in his words. Although Wen Rui is now a supreme being, he is still so narrow-minded, so low-minded, and so vicious-mouthed, and he still doesn't let others off even when he is right.

For the first time in his life, Wen Zhong felt inferior to his opponent and was rendered speechless by Wen Rui. He turned his head away and could not look into the eyes of the aggressive Wen Rui.

Of course, he could make specious arguments, come up with irrelevant reasons, and use his fatherly authority to suppress the situation, but Wen Zhong was a man who clearly knew right from wrong and simply disdained to do so.

From a big picture perspective, what does it matter if Wen Rui occupies half the moon and half the sun?

The actual combat effect of killing hundreds of millions of demon mosquitoes in this instant without consuming any cultivation resources can quell all criticisms in the court.

Anyone who dares to accuse Wen Rui of a crime now and proposes to dismantle the sun-blocking and moon-blocking canopies will be suspected of being a spy of the demon clan, otherwise they would not do such a thing as to cut off the way out of heaven.

"Who dares to slander my minister who is so important to the Heavenly Court?"

The Jade Emperor was furious. He slammed the jade table in front of him and glared at Taiyin Star Lord: "You, the officials and the low-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court, usually hide in the back and enjoy the peace, thinking that you have made great contributions and have many years of experience. At the critical moment, not only can you not save the people, but you also hinder the capable ministers and brave generals for your own selfish interests."

Selectively, the Jade Emperor ignored Wen Zhong and was only furious with Taiyin Star Lord.

Taiyin Xingjun looked aggrieved and murmured, "It was the Creation Lord who lied to me. He didn't say that at the beginning. He didn't mention the so-called 'space-based super weapon' at all. Otherwise, how could I dare to hinder the great cause of conquering demons..."

"Nonsense, how can the highest military secrets be disclosed to an irrelevant fairy like you?"

Wen Rui immediately scolded: "Even if it is a second-rate civilian function that benefits all living beings, the construction of the Moon Covering Sky Canopy is reasonable and logical, and the lunar development plan should not be obstructed in any way."

"I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and even bring my father in to disrupt the situation, forcing me to reveal the secret weapon in advance! Once this weapon is exposed, the demons will definitely try every means to counter it, and may even risk sending troops to raid the heavens, destroying it at all costs."

“Once the Sun-Blocking Sky Curtain and the Moon-Blocking Sky Curtain are destroyed by the Devil Mosquitoes, the Heavenly Court will lose its last trump card, and you will be the biggest sinner! For your half of the moon, the gods and immortals and all living things will lose their last chance of survival in vain, and there will be no possibility of taking back the mortal world. By then, even if you are the bright moon hanging high in the sky, you will only illuminate the dark wilderness of corruption, stench and breeding of Devil Mosquitoes!”

Wen Rui was even better at putting accusations on others. When this huge accusation was thrown at him, Taiyin Xingjun couldn't even stand and collapsed to the ground.

"Come here, quickly escort this criminal immortal to the Heavenly Prison, and soon send him to the Immortal Execution Platform, where he will be executed in public to thank the world and serve as a warning to others! From now on, the immortals should not make random guesses about the actions of the God of Creation, and just cooperate with him without asking the reason!"

The Jade Emperor frowned, spoke in a grim tone, and issued an order in a loud voice with murderous intent.

This time, the high-level gods who had shown reluctance before also shook their heads and no longer had any sympathy for the Moon Lord.

Whether she did it intentionally or not, the consequences were too bad. At present, the Heavenly Court was so huge that the world under its control was the most important. If she obstructed the great cause of recovery, she would be condemned by the world. Even if Heaven would not tolerate it, Wen Zhong would not be able to save her. "Wait!"

The Jade Emperor's decree was interrupted in public again. He could no longer bear it and glared at the source of the shouting. He made up his mind that he would not sell it even for Wen Zhong's face.

However, when I looked closely, I saw that it was Wen Rui who asked to stop.

"Your Majesty, although Taiyin Xingjun has committed serious crimes, she is still related to my father. Maybe I will have to call her stepmother in the future. Because of this relationship, I have no choice but to come forward to protect her. Please, Your Majesty, spare her life."

"You rebellious son, stop talking nonsense. Who has a connection with me? I came to the palace because I thought you were bullying others by taking advantage of your power, being greedy and ruining the reputation of my family!"

Before the Jade Emperor could reply, Wen Zhong was almost furious and pointed at Wen Rui and loudly refuted him.

"Oh?" Wen Rui raised his eyebrows and turned to his cheap father: "According to you, this ordinary aunt in white should be killed?"

These words seemed to hit Wen Zhong's weak spot, leaving him stunned and not knowing how to respond.

To be honest, Wen Zhong did have some dealings with Taiyin Star Lord, and their relationship was pretty good, but there was absolutely no romance between them.

Yutu went to Lei Mansion for help and reported to Wen Zhong everything that happened on the moon. Wen Tianzun, who had always been clear about right and wrong and was unparalleled in his loyalty, rushed to Lingxiao Palace out of righteous indignation to stop Wen Rui.

Before the live broadcast of the video reflecting the essence of the sun and the moon to destroy an army of hundreds of millions of demon mosquitoes was played, Wen Zhong really thought that Wen Rui was bullying the lonely fairy in the Moon Palace to death in order to refine his magic weapon, relying on his high position, prominent family background, and powerful master.

In fact, no one knows a son better than his father. Wen Zhong's speculation about Wen Rui's bad character is almost right. Building two sky curtains to block the moon and the sun, and eliminating the magic mosquitoes are secondary. The most important thing is to refine the magic weapon, the Sun and Moon Pearls.

But Wen Rui knew what was going on when he did something bad, and he knew to leave himself a way out and find a good excuse to exonerate himself.

This was a case of turning right into wrong. Originally, Taiyin Star Lord only sentenced him to fixed-term imprisonment, but it was upgraded to death penalty and executed immediately. Wen Zhong rushed over, but instead of saving the man, he ended up harming him.

After being sentenced to death, this guy still pretended to be a good person, questioning Wen Zhong in this way, and using this to test the senior officials of the Heavenly Court.

If Wen Zhong was impartial and just, with only justice in his eyes and no personal feelings, then Taiyin Star Lord would have no chance of survival and would be sent to the Immortal Execution Platform to die soon.

But if he acquiesced to Wen Rui's plea and saved the life of Taiyin Xingjun, Wen Zhong's good reputation would be gone forever even if he jumped into the Milky Way.

The key point is that Wen Zhong's pair of eyes between his eyebrows can see clearly that his rebellious son is obviously a cruel and ruthless villain. No matter how high-sounding his words are, he is just trying to succeed in his evil scheme and deceive the world.

The Moon God is the one who has truly suffered an unjust death. If he died in such a tragic way, even if there was a severe drought in the mortal world, there would be snow in June, and even the Heavenly Dao would not be able to bear it.

Should he bear the stigma and save the life of the innocent man, or let the rebellious son throw dirty water on himself, ending up with a ruined reputation in his later years and being laughed at by the gods?
Wen Zhong encountered the most difficult decision in his life.
