Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Looking up at Li Shundao in the mirror, the Jade Emperor had a thought: the necessary preparations still needed to be made.

Li Shundao, as a Golden Immortal, instantly killed the demon masters at the Profound Immortal realm. His speed was extremely fast, and he wiped out all the demon masters who had attacked in no time.

Seeing this, the leading demon lord continued to strike the Seven Star Sword Formation, the "thump-thump" sound echoing throughout the entire starry sky.

Li Shundao knew that although he had the upper hand, danger still existed. Now that the Treasure-Summoning Divine Power had been exposed, there was no need to keep it hidden any longer.

He took out five copper coins and threw them at the weapons of the five demon lords who were fighting. He chanted incantations, "Wealth can move the gods, summon treasures" five times in a row. The weapons of all the attacking demon lords were in his hands. He put them away without even looking at them.

Wu Zheng was first startled by Wang Yue, then delighted. Wang Yue even revealed a smile, sweeping and slashing with his spear, attacking with great enthusiasm.

However, the demon lords opposite them were only horrified. Upon seeing that their weapons were gone, they all revealed their true forms.

The creature fighting Wu was a blue-tailed leopard, while the creature confronting Wangyue was a giant white rabbit with long tusks.

Yao Yu, on the other hand, was playing rather lukewarmly, while the little tiger on his opponent's side was attacking very aggressively.

However, Lei Shi was facing two white-eyed, gray-bodied wolves. Their long fangs relentlessly attacked Lei Shi, completely unaffected by his weapons.

The demon lords surrounding the formation realized that a critical moment had arrived and revealed their true forms. A brown, thousand-foot-tall bear stood in the formation and roared wildly at it. The Seven Star Formation actually fluctuated slightly, as if it was about to collapse.

Li Shundao hurriedly took control of the Seven Star Array, and it took a while of channeling his magic power to stabilize it.

Seeing that his roar had no effect, the Demon Lord stood up on his hind legs and began to slap the array wall with his two heavy bear paws.

Just then, Lei Shi also encountered a crisis. Li Shundao had no choice but to temporarily abandon the continued killing of the giant bear in the formation and let several Xuanxian continue to supply magic power to the formation. He himself went to support Lei Shi. Although he disliked him, he couldn't bring himself to harm his subordinates.

Li Shundao transmitted his voice to Lei Shi, telling him to retreat and help the others, while taking out a handful of copper coins.

Although he doesn't have as many spiritual treasures as Chen Fusheng in his original form, he has money!

Hearing Li Shundao's words, Lei Shi felt a chill run down his spine, more so than hearing about snow in June. He quickly retreated, fleeing into the distance without pausing, and soon disappeared from sight.

Li Shundao, who had already prepared to unleash the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, paused for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. To his surprise, Lei Shi had actually fled out of fear of death, and the Heavenly Court members, who had been in complete control, were suddenly caught in a stalemate.

Li Shundao knew he had to deal with the two white-eyed gray-bodied wolves before the big bear appeared, otherwise even if he escaped, the others would surely die on the spot, and even if he returned to the Heavenly Court, he probably wouldn't fare well.

Not only did the rain-making mission fail, but it also resulted in heavy losses. Even if there were extenuating circumstances, his position as the Heavenly Emperor would be in jeopardy.

The position of Heavenly Emperor was something the Jade Emperor's master had worked hard to secure for him, and now he's being dismissed before seven days have even passed. It's simply unacceptable. If the Jade Emperor gets angry and wipes out the entire family, he'll be devastated.

Seeing this, the giant bear surrounding the formation became even more energetic, roaring incessantly and slapping wildly with its paws, causing the Xuanxian who were channeling their magical power to suffer greatly. Coupled with Lei Shi's escape, their morale plummeted to its lowest point.

Wang Yue watched Lei Shi escape, her face contorted with rage. She cursed him as a "shameless scoundrel." Even Wu Zheng, who had initially shown a slight smile, suppressed it and brandished his broadsword, unleashing a flurry of murderous blows at Lanwei Bao. However, judging from their condition, it was impossible to resolve the battle in a short time.

As for Yao Yu, he remained as calm as a mountain, showing neither joy nor sorrow at Lei Shi's escape, making him the most unfathomable person to Li Shundao.

The pressure was now directly on Li Shundao. If he didn't make a choice soon, the Xuanxian might give up under the pressure.

If the bear is released, even he will probably only be able to run for his life.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor looked at the fleeing Lei Shi, snorted coldly, and his face was covered with frost.

Even the other emperors and the five elders didn't look too good. It was originally a sure-win situation, and they were even winning with fewer troops. Even with the traitor incident, their faces weren't too grim.

Now that Lei Shi has fled, with their insight, how could they not see the situation Li Shundao is facing? It's impossible for him to immediately take down two demon lords at the Golden Immortal level. A sure win has turned into a precarious situation, and this is because he deserted his post on the battlefield, even when he could have won.

What's the difference between this and being a traitor, or is he the one who tipped off the enemy?

Lei Bu Tianzun's face turned ashen, and he felt utterly ashamed. Wasn't he just acting like a rogue to protect the interests and reputation of Lei Bu?

They had just managed to cover the latrine when Lei Shi ran away, and it was like a deluge of diarrhea rained down from the sky. Now even the excrement was yellow.

Hua Jian's previously calmed heart was immediately thrown into turmoil. Even someone as kind-hearted as him was startled by Lei Shi's incredible actions, causing his heart to pound.

He glanced at the Jade Emperor, then asked, "Your Majesty, perhaps I should go there myself?"

The Jade Emperor remained calm and composed. Although his expression was not pleasant, he was quite satisfied with Li Shundao's performance. As for why he didn't send Hua Jian, it was simply because he knew that Li Shundao still had a trump card up his sleeve, since he hadn't yet used the Azure Lotus Sword that he had given him.

Li Shundao was speechless. Although he was angry and even murderous towards Lei Shi's desertion, he felt more helpless. He thought he could defeat his opponent without revealing his trump card, but the story was always so unpredictable and did not follow the usual rules.

“There are always treacherous subjects who want to harm me.”

Li Shundao first threw the copper coins in his hand at the two white-eyed gray wolves in front of him, and then finally took out the Azure Lotus Sword as his trump card.

Holding the Azure Lotus Sword, he thrust at the two wolves, who were still in a dazed state, the sword light creating a perfect curved ripple.

Then, with a gentle slash to the head of one of the wolves, the wolf skin, which was originally as hard as iron, was easily cut open, and golden-red blood began to spurt out from the wound.

Even with a large hole torn in its body, the white-eyed gray wolf remained energetic, which only fueled its ferocity. It licked the wound irregularly before continuing its attack on Li Shundao.

Li Shundao was startled. He hadn't expected that a demon of the Demon Lord level would be so tenacious and difficult to kill. However, it also aroused his ferocity. He secretly made a ruthless move and threw a handful of copper coins at another wolf.

Holding the Azure Lotus Sword, he charged towards the wounded Wolf Demon Lord. In martial arts, speed is the ultimate weapon, and Li Shundao was already a bit stronger than the White-Eyed Gray-Body Wolf in front of him.

Don't underestimate this point. Holding a sharp weapon like the Azure Lotus Sword, Li Shundao kept spinning and fighting towards the wolf's head.

The white-eyed, gray-bodied wolf finally stopped howling. Its headless body stood still, while Li Shundao held its head in his hand.

The other wolf finally flew out at this moment. When it saw the wolf head in Li Shundao's hand, it roared and a trace of sadness flashed in its eyes. The wolf mouth was pointed at Li Shundao and said fiercely, "You killed my brother, you human deserve to die."

As it spoke, its body expanded violently. Its original thousand-foot body grew to more than twice its original size, and its gray wolf skin was covered in bloodstains. Its aura became more than twice as strong.

Li Shundao quickly put away the wolf body in front of him. Looking at the white-eyed wolf rushing towards him, he could tell at a glance that the other party had used a forbidden technique. Once this forbidden technique was used, it would cause great harm to the user and might even lead to a loss of level.
