Tongming Hall.
The Jade Emperor, dressed in a moon-white robe, was lounging comfortably on a soft couch.
The fairies who had been dancing and playing music in the hall had withdrawn, leaving only Taibai Jinxing and the Martial Emperor who had just returned to the Heavenly Court.
"Is there definite news? Is there certainty?" the Jade Emperor sat up and asked.
"Your Majesty, it can only be confirmed that the Demonic Cult has been scheming recently, and acting rashly would involve significant risk," the Martial Emperor said. "If we had one more general to assist, our chances would greatly increase."
"Whom do we need?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"The Earthly Fiends Marshal, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong," the Martial Emperor said.
