Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1445 - 671: A Gentleman Takes His Revenge Before Nightfall (Part 3)

King Li was tracked down by his son, strung up and beaten, crying out in agony, and even had his flesh cut. Just as he was about to be beaten to death, the Jade Emperor issued a decree, and only then did the Demon Lord of Mayhem stop.

"If it weren't for the Great Heavenly Venerate, I would have sent you to the Western Heaven today!"

As the Demon Lord of Mayhem departed, he glanced back, saying, "I'll come to beat you again another day!"

"Could the Three Altar Sea Meeting Great God not send away King Li?" Chen Shi remarked with regret.

The next night, as King Li was recuperating at the mansion, a masked man suddenly broke into the Li Mansion and assaulted the already battered King Li, causing him to let out continuous screams that were unbearable to hear.

Various Heavenly Generals stationed at the Heavenly Court quickly came to assist, intending to capture the masked man, but the masked man possessed extraordinary skills and retreated leisurely under the encirclement of the Heavenly Generals.

The Heavenly Generals chased him to the East Heavenly Palace, lost the masked man's trace, and did not dare to search the East Heavenly Palace, so they had to leave.

On the third day, the Li Mansion was again invaded by a thief. The thief broke into the Li Mansion, and a thunderous clap unleashed hundreds of strikes on the bedridden King Li, leaving him charred on the outside and tender inside. Then, under the encirclement of various Heavenly Generals, the thief departed leisurely. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

On the fourth day, another person broke into the Li Mansion, causing large-scale destruction, beating everyone in the Li Family, including the bedridden King Li.

On the fifth day...

...

By the eighth day, King Li ordered himself to be carried to the Heavenly Soldier Camp, found the Heavenly Dao Residence of Chen Shi, and said to Chen Shi, "Mr. Li has come specifically to apologize to Daoist Chen. It was indeed wrong of me to have you go to the Three Elements Tai Lai and other worlds, I had ulterior motives. I hope Daoist will forgive me and pardon my sin."

He struggled on the sickbed, managing to get up with help, intending to bow down.

Chen Shi supported him, preventing him from bowing down, with a smile said, "Why would the Heavenly King go to such lengths? I'm not a petty person, there's no need for such courtesy."

King Li, with a stern expression, said, "Wrong is wrong, and naturally, I must apologize."

The two reconciled as before, and before long, they were conversing with laughter.

King Li changed the subject and said with a smile, "Daoist Chen, it must be about ten years since you ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm and joined the Heavenly Soldier Camp?"

Chen Shi replied, "About right."

King Li smiled and said, "Since that is the case, then Daoist, you are free. The contract you signed at Yao Guang Pool with the Heavenly Court was for a ten-year term. Once the ten years are up, you can leave the Heavenly Soldier Camp."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "I am the last batch of ascended immortals, so I can leave the Heavenly Soldier Camp. Doesn't that mean all the Heavenly Soldiers have reached their ten-year term too? They can also leave the Heavenly Soldier Camp?"

King Li lay on the sickbed and laughed, "They may not be willing to leave the Heavenly Soldier Camp. Where can they go if they leave? Although life outside seems free, it's not as good as the Heavenly Soldier Camp. They cannot leave the Heavenly Soldier Camp."

Chen Shi asked, "Won't the Heavenly Court prevent these Heavenly Soldiers from leaving?"

King Li shook his head, "A contract was signed back then; how could the Heavenly Court violate it? Otherwise, where would their dignity be?"

Chen Shi laughed, "That's good then."

He raised his voice, "I am Chen Shi of the Heavenly Soldier Camp, fellow Daoists, the ten-year contract we signed with the Heavenly Court has reached its end! Fellow Daoists, did we ascend to serve as Heavenly Soldiers for the Heavenly Soldier Camp? Whoever wishes to follow me in leaving the Heavenly Court, wait for me at the Western Heaven Swing!"

His voice spread throughout the Heavenly Dao Residence, but some Heavenly Soldiers and Generals still did not hear, yet the news quickly spread as Heavenly Soldiers told one another, and soon, all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals knew about it.

King Li shook his head and said, "Chen Shi, you won't be able to take many people with you. Do you know? It's not that the Heavenly Court needs Heavenly Soldiers, but you Heavenly Soldiers need the Heavenly Court. Without the monthly salary from the Heavenly Court, you wouldn't even survive in the Earth Immortal Realm!"

He had himself lifted on a stretcher and headed for the Western Heaven Swing. He wanted to see who actually dared to leave the Heavenly Court with Chen Shi!
