Everyone fell silent at this moment.
They had all heard tales of Emperor Jiuchen's bellicose nature, and now they were witnessing it firsthand. He could take an entirely unrelated matter and somehow twist it to involve the Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan, exploiting it as an excuse to wage war.
Indeed, this strategy was formidable.
Meanwhile, in the heavens, the Jade Emperor, who had been closely monitoring the proceedings, furrowed his brow at Jiang Chen's words.
He had always suspected that giving Jiang Chen control of the troops would lead to nothing good. True enough, Jiang Chen was plotting to escalate the conflict and take action against the Immortal Sect and the Eastern Sea's Demon Clan - brazen indeed.
Thankfully, he had the foresight to use the Haotian mirror to present all the events occurring on Huaguo Mountain to everyone. Otherwise, the situation could have escalated.
