A Good Dog

Chapter 1616 A Good Dog

As soon as he said this, all the Heavenly Lords who remained in the Lingxiao Palace fell silent, their eyes flickering, waiting to see how Fire Heavenly Lord would handle the situation.

Huo Tianzun raised his cup, raised his head and drank it all, saying: "Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare I ask for half of the world? I only want half of Yankang. I don't want any more."

Emperor Haotian smiled and their eyes met that of Lord Huo Tianzun.

"Hahahaha!" The two of them suddenly burst into laughter.

The other Heavenly Lords also laughed, and the laughter gradually died down. Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Ancestor God King, do you want Yankang?"

The Ancestral God King bowed slightly and said with a smile: "I am here to guard Xuandu by your majesty's order. Xuandu alone covers all the heavens and the worlds. It is so vast that it is difficult for me to manage it. I don't want it anymore."

Emperor Haotian looked at Xu Tianzun again, and Xu Tianzun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am like the Zushen King. I dare not hope for the wealth of Yankang. I only hope to manage Youdu well."

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Then only Lord Huo and I can share Yankang equally."

Taichu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute."

There was silence in the Lingxiao Palace. There was no sound at all. Every pair of eyes was fixed on Taichu.

Taichu smiled and said, "When we were still the Ten Heavenly Lords, we had the same interests and shared them equally. But now that the world is unified, we naturally cannot act the same way as before. The entire universe belongs to your majesty, but your majesty was able to ascend the throne thanks to the support of your old brothers. Your majesty has already won the world, so you should reward the old brothers according to their merits and appease their hearts. You can't let them feel disappointed."

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words make sense. I have just taken the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and am not as skilled as Your Majesty. How do you think Yankang should be divided?"

Taichu continued, "It's just a reward based on merit. Whether it was the battle of Xuandu or the battle of Youdu, the old brothers have contributed a lot and risked their lives, and even several Taoists have died. The living have achieved success, but they can't help but take care of the orphans and widows of the deceased. Yankang's wealth is only slightly less than that of the Heavenly Court, so we can divide it according to the old rules. It won't be a big loss to Your Majesty."

The other Heavenly Lords didn't say much and just listened quietly.

Emperor Haotian said solemnly: "That's what the Supreme Emperor pointed out."

Taichu smiled and said, "Fire Lord, the Human Lord, has an agreement with Your Majesty. Void Lord, Ancestor God King, Taiji Ancient God, and me, the Retired Emperor, and even the Eastern Emperor Qinglong, are all meritorious ministers. In addition, Mu Lord surrendered and cried in the surrender letter, saying that he wanted to ask for a secluded place to pray for Your Majesty. These are all things that need to be discussed."

He laughed and said, "Xu Tianzun and Zu Shenwang dare not take Yankang, but the wealth should be divided. Yankang is so rich, and he has so many factories, so many masters of numerology, and so many casting masters. If we don't share it with him, what if he will unite and rebel again in the future? It's better to divide it, it's better to divide it."

Emperor Haotian groaned, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "What the Supreme Emperor said makes sense, it makes sense..."

He glanced at Yin Tianzi, who said with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, I have also made contributions, and I also want a share."

Huo Tianzun said coldly: "Yin Tianzi, you didn't even show your head in the battle of Youdu, what contribution did you make?"

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Yin Chaojin is also a Heavenly Venerable after all. Since he is a Heavenly Venerable, it is okay for him to have a share. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in name only? Zushenwang and Xutianzun, you two should not be polite. Yankang does have a share for you."

The Ancestor God King and Xu Tianzun looked at each other and bowed together, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Originally, there were ten Heavenly Lords in the Heavenly Court. Now there are only Xu Tianzun, Zu Shenwang, Huo Tianzun, Taishang Huang, Yin Tianzi and me. It seems that we need to add some fresh blood. Yin Tianzi has become Yin Tianzun. Baidi, Chidi and Qingdi can also become candidates for the Ten Heavenly Lords."

Taichu smiled and said, "The character of the White Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Green Emperor is still a little lacking. Your Majesty, the Taiji Ancient God can be the Heavenly Lord."

Emperor Haotian played with his wine glass and laughed, "I almost forgot. The two Taoist brothers did contribute a lot in the battles of Youdu and Xuandu, and they can be listed as Heavenly Lords. In this case, why not add Mu Tianzun. In this way, there will be nine Heavenly Lords."

Huo Tianzun protested: "Your Majesty, how can a rebel be a Tianzun?"

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Does Lord Huo have any other candidates?"

Huo Tianzun said: "Mu Tianzun is a traitor. If you list him among the Ten Tianzun, not only will the minister not accept it, but the other Tianzun will not accept it either! Besides, there are still people among the Ten Tianzun. Isn't Langxuan Divine Emperor still here?"

The wine glass in Emperor Haotian's hand was crushed, and he laughed: "Emperor Langxuan died at the hands of Lord Mu Tian..."

"The Divine Emperor Langxuan is blessed by heaven, and he is still alive."

Huo Tianzun suddenly smiled, making the mask on his face look very scary, and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Emperor Langxuan has an incarnation in Yankang? God has mercy on me. I have rescued his incarnation and it did not die in the hands of the bandit shepherd."

The wine glass in Emperor Haotian's hand melted and turned into golden paste. He suddenly laughed and said, "Well done! Beautifully done! Lord Huo is loyal to the emperor and loves his country. He is the most loyal minister. He is worthy of being the person I value the most!"

Huo Tianzun was extremely awed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

Taichu's eyes flickered, and he laughed loudly, "Fire Lord is indeed loyal and righteous!"

Emperor Haotian snorted and said, "The Eastern Emperor Qinglong has come to surrender and can be included in the list of Heavenly Lords. Fire Heavenly Lord should have no objection, right?"

Huo Tianzun smiled and said, "The Eastern Emperor Qinglong is the Tianzun. I have no objection."

Emperor Haotian clenched his fist, then slowly opened it, and said with a smile: "Yankang's interests are huge, so there is no need for us to argue about how to divide them. Let the children below discuss it. Today is my coronation ceremony, so let's not talk about these troublesome things. I will celebrate with all my beloved ministers and will not leave until I am drunk!"

In the Lingxiao Hall, there was toasting and laughter.

"Old Huo's rebelliousness is about to burst the sky!"

After the celebration, Emperor Haotian bid farewell to everyone, leaving only Yin Tianzi, Xu Tianzun and Zu Shenwang. He could not help but get furious and said in a stern voice: "He is not waiting for a good price, but he knows that I can't give him a good price, so he sold it to Taichu early!"

Emperor Yin didn't dare to speak.

Xu Tianzun and Zushen Wang looked at each other, and Zushen Wang said, "Your Majesty, Huo Tianzun is a foreign race after all, not of our race."

Emperor Haotian exhaled a foul breath, walked back and forth quickly, and sneered: "He still thinks this is the past, that I can't do without him. He is too presumptuous! He dared to keep Langxuan. I can't tolerate him anymore, but he went to sell Langxuan to Taichu! How dare he!"

Xu Tianzun said: "He has joined forces with Taichu, and with the help of the ancient Taiji God, in a few years, Langxuan will recover to his peak, and I'm afraid he will be able to compete with Your Majesty."

Lord Haotian snorted angrily, then smiled and said, "My good dog bit me back. Good, very good. But I have been prepared, mother!"

Madam Yuan Mu responded lazily from behind the screen and said with a smile, "Hao'er, Taichu is nothing to worry about. You can rest assured."

Xu Tianzun and Zushenwang were horrified, looked at each other, and remained silent.

Lord Haotian smiled and said, "My dear Lord Huo, you have a rebellious nature, which is good. I was worried that you would not dare to rebel. After all, you are my greatest contributor, and I have no reason to kill you, so as not to disappoint my ministers. But now, you force me to take action."

Taichu returned to Da'an Palace, which was the residence of the retired emperor after he abdicated. The so-called Da'an means that after his abdication, he was no longer involved in power struggles.

At this time, in Da'an Palace, Taichu, Taiji, and Huo Tianzun each took their seats. Taichu smiled and said, "Tianzun speaks for justice, which makes me admire him."

Huo Tianzun shook his head and said, "It's just that the Emperor of Heaven can no longer give me more benefits, so I will surrender to the Emperor Emeritus."

Taichu laughed loudly: "Hao'er will not only not give you any benefits if he becomes emperor, but he will even take back the benefits he gave you in the past! How can you convince the people by doing this? It will only make those who have made contributions feel disappointed."

Huo Tianzun sneered, "He can't give me any benefits, and he even has to take back the benefits he gave me before. How can it be so good? Zu Shen Wang occupies Xuandu, Xu Tianzun occupies Youdu, even if Yin Tianzi, this dog who only knows how to lick, can get a position of Tianzun and share half of Youdu! I worked hard to conquer the world for him, but in the end he even wants to take back Nantian! If I don't rebel against him, it will be against the will of heaven!"

Taichu nodded and said, "Cooperate with me, you can save Nantian and also divide up the benefits of Yankang. Yankang can fall into anyone's hands, but it must not fall into the hands of Emperor Haotian. If it falls into his hands, we will never be able to turn things around!"

Huo Tianzun nodded, his eyes fell on the two Taiji Ancient Gods, and said: "He has the support of the Third and Fourth Young Masters. I'm afraid we have little chance of winning."

"The Third Young Master's support for him is just a temporary measure."

Taichu smiled and said, "He has a very clever plan. If he doesn't let the Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master come, they will definitely be unhappy. Their dissatisfaction is our opportunity."

Huo Tianzun breathed a sigh of relief.

The two Taiji Ancient Gods looked at each other and said, "Hao Tianzun will definitely attack Fellow Daoist Huo. It will be difficult for him to tolerate you. You have to be careful."

Huo Tianzun said calmly: "We are all from the same group of Longhan Seven Tianzun, and we are all beings who have opened up new realms. He is indeed more powerful than me, but it is not easy to kill me. I will leave Langxuan Divine Emperor to you two. When can you let him recover to his peak state?"

The Sun Ancient God said with a smile: "In about ten years, the Divine Emperor Lang Xuan will surely be better than before!"

Huo Tianzun laughed loudly, bowed and said: "I haven't congratulated the two Taoist brothers on becoming Tianzun yet!"

The two ancient gods exchanged some pleasantries, then Huo Tianzun stood up to say goodbye, and Taichu personally escorted him out of Da'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, can you trust the Lord of Fire?" Queen Taiyin suddenly asked.

"I can't trust it."

Taichu shook his head: "Huo Tianzun betrayed too many people. After Yu Tianzun died, he was afraid of power and the first person he betrayed was himself. He betrayed his own heart and joined Hao'er. After that, he betrayed his best friend Yun Tianzun. After Yun Tianzun died, he betrayed his own race. Now, he betrayed Hao'er and joined me. How can I know that he won't betray me in the future?"

The Ancient God of the Sun said: "For people like Fire Lord, if you can use them, use them. If you can't use them, kill them."

Taichu smiled and said, "That's what I meant."

Yankang, Wendaoyuan.

Yu Chenzi returned from Heaven and reported to Qin Mu, telling him about his experiences in Heaven in every detail.

Qin Mu listened quietly, asking for details from time to time. Yu Chenzi narrated them one by one, not daring to leave anything out.

After a long time, Qin Mu said with a smile: "Fire Lord is about to die."

Yu Chenzi said, "When I left the Heavenly Palace, I heard the news that Emperor Haotian was going to reward his meritorious officials. Among them, Huo Tianzun had the greatest contribution. Emperor Haotian was going to confer him the title of Supreme Lord Equal to Heaven and Saint Lord of Virtue. In the past, Huo Tianzun was only a Saint Lord, unparalleled among men and women, but this time he is the Supreme Lord Equal to Heaven, equal to the Emperor of Heaven!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Emperor Haotian cannot confer any benefits on him, he can only be given a title, and when he is given a title, he will be close to death."

Yu Chenzi smiled and said, "That was because the Imperial Master sent the Divine Emperor Lang Xuan over there, and he did it just right."

Qin Mu laughed loudly and stood up: "I need to go and see the death of Huo Tianzun in person to see this old friend off!"

He smiled and said, "I am still a little worried that Emperor Haotian is not doing a thorough enough job. After all, Huo Tianzun was also the Nine Heavenly Lords of Longhan back then, and some of his hidden abilities have never been revealed."

His eyes flashed with ferocity, and then he hid himself.

Yu Chenzi smiled, bowed and said, "Wait for good news from the Imperial Master!"

Qin Mu took out a piece of ordinary wood, carved it into a scabbard, inserted the Jie Sword into the scabbard, and walked out of Wen Dao Courtyard.

On the golden ship, the chubby Tai Shi and the young Qin Fengqing were sneaking around the ship. When he saw him coming on board, Tai Shi hurriedly said, "Mu Tianzun, there's a ghost here!"
