The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha
Chapter 164 - 163: Emperor Jin Can

Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Emperor Jin Can

After the gathering of the Three Sects, there was a brief exchange of pleasantries, and Duobao Daoist similarly ceded command authority, which did not surprise Nezha.

Nezha had initially planned to eliminate the Hundred-Eyed Golden Centipede first, and then head to the heavens to deal with Jin Chan. Yet, after circling Chuanyun Pass twice, he couldn’t find a trace of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Centipede. It was hard to tell whether it was crafty or just plain foolish.

Soon, all the immortals wasted no more time and headed straight to the Heavenly Court, meeting reinforcements from the Human Sect at the South Heavenly Gate—the trio of Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, and the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, all clad in armor.

Their impressive armor immediately caught the attention of Yun Zhongzi.

Passing through the South Heavenly Gate, they saw Jin Chan in the distance, sitting proudly atop a crudely constructed, massive throne fashioned out of a pile of ruined buildings. Next to it stood a tattered flag bearing the words "Emperor Jin Chan."

Jin Chan sat with his arms crossed and a smug expression on his face, while below him, several captured gods were paying homage as if they were attending an imperial court session.

The immortals: "..."

Nezha: "..."

Nuwa: "Pfft!"

Tongtian Sect Master: "Hahahahahaha!"

Saint Zhunti: "Ahem ahem!"

Yuanshi Tianzun: "Oh."

Nezha didn’t approach immediately but silently took out a Memory Stone and began filming.

Haha, this guy really does honor his title as Brother Monkey’s master. While Brother Monkey dares to call himself the Great Saint, this one goes ahead and proclaims himself Emperor.

And Hao Tian? He really has the patience of a saint—he hasn’t acted yet?

Can he truly preserve his authority in this way?

The other immortals didn’t know why Nezha was filming, but they followed his lead and took out their own Memory Stones to quietly record. After all, it’s hard not to harbor resentment when Saints have decreed the Divine Enthronement affair orchestrated by Hao Tian.

As for the Western Sect?

They just wanted to blend in—they’re quite adept at reading the room!

Actually, the situation had become rather simple to handle by this point. With so many top figures present, it was impossible for Jin Chan to stir up any more chaos. What Nezha had to focus on next was ensuring that things were handled beautifully to maximize benefits.

In this Primordial world, what could be more righteous than demon elimination?

Nezha was just about to label Jin Chan a major threat when he heard a voice by his ear: "Nephew, this Jin Chan is destined to be connected with our Western Sect. Could you spare his life?"

Nezha’s eyes darted around as he thought for a moment and replied, "Saint Uncle, I should naturally listen to your request. But Jin Chan has caused a huge disturbance in the Heavenly Court, threatening the Great Venerable. The Great Venerable is appointed by the Daoist Ancestor as the Lord of the Three Realms. While I can spare Jin Chan’s life, as for the Great Venerable..."

Zhunti: "Our Western Sect is poor, but here’s a Ninth-Grade Green Lotus that I’ve nurtured—it might be of some use to you."

"Saint Uncle, you must be looking down on me. If it were my own matter, I would certainly relent at your request without hesitation. Look at the incident with Yuan Hong—did I say anything? But this time, the matter involves the Great Venerable, and I cannot comply!"

"I also have some treasures left over from crafting the Seven Treasures Miao Tree. I noticed your attire is rather plain—why not use them as ornaments?"

Nezha wasn’t the greedy type and decided not to overreach.

"Thank you, Saint Uncle, for your gifts. I see that Jin Chan is merely untamed in nature and must have been instigated by others to cause such havoc."

"Wise."

Saint Zhunti, who had taken advantage of Eastern Primordial affairs countless times, didn’t expect to be outmaneuvered by his youngest nephew today.

Nuwa: Overjoyed!

This little disciple sure brings honor to me.

However, with the Eastern Four Saints watching, Zhunti couldn’t simply claim Jin Chan by saying he was "destined to be connected with me." This required the involvement of the Eastern side, and Nezha was the best choice to handle things—accept payment, and execute the plan beautifully.

Having accepted the gifts, Nezha couldn’t proceed as he originally had. Moving forward, he bellowed at Jin Chan, "Audacious Jin Chan! You’ve brought great calamity, destroying Heavenly Court buildings without authorization. Surrender now and confess the mastermind behind your deeds to receive leniency!"

The immortals present were stunned—this "Emperor Jin Chan" had caused such havoc, yet his crime was reduced to damaging Heavenly Court structures?

Saint Zhunti nodded repeatedly—if it’s just a matter of destroying some buildings, I can always rebuild them later.

Jin Chan himself was bewildered—he had wreaked havoc in Heaven, and now he wasn’t even considered the mastermind? There was another hidden culprit?

Upon seeing Nezha, Jin Chan’s anger surged to the limit: "Ugh! You little pest! After humiliating me before, today I, Emperor Jin Chan, will end you!"

Nezha remained calm and gestured. The disciples of the Western Sect immediately intervened—Dashizhi and Maitreya restrained Jin Chan, while the other disciples swiftly set up a formation to trap him.

The Western Sect disciples weren’t obeying Nezha—they were simply cautious that others might act too recklessly and annihilate Jin Chan entirely, leaving him unable to even enter reincarnation. Thus, they personally took action.

Nezha observed for a moment before casually remarking, "Judging from Jin Chan’s apparent lack of intelligence, I suspect the real mastermind must be the Hundred-Eyed Centipede, who is likely in cahoots with him."

Saint Zhunti evidently had reached some agreement with Yuanshi Tianzun, as the Chan Sect didn’t refute Nezha’s claim, and the Jie Sect certainly had no objections.

With some downtime, Nezha opened the Mountain and River Map and summoned the Thunder Department gods within to set up tables for a banquet!

He then sent Yang Chan to the Palace of the Polestar to request approval for wine and spirit fruits. After all, these helpers had worked hard—you have to treat them to a meal.

Not to mention, they were all Hao Tian’s juniors.

Hao Tian ’smiled’ as he signed the request, and Yang Chan headed to the Turquoise Pool to fetch Long Ji and the approved spirit fruits. The immortals started their feast without delay.

Enjoying the post-apocalyptic vibe of the Heavenly Court while watching the Western Sect pummel Jin Chan—it was, indeed, a unique experience.

Nezha was meanwhile encircled by Long Ji, Yang Chan, Jin Guang, and Fire Spirit, leaving the other male immortals envious!

But only Nezha himself knew how taxing the attention truly was!

Fortunately, Yunxiao eventually arrived to rescue him, for reasons unknown. As soon as she showed up, the chatter and chaos among the women instantly quieted down—as if subdued by her aura.

"Thank you, Sister Yun," Nezha said.

Yunxiao smiled as she replied, "Surrounded by fairies, how could you still be unhappy?"

Nezha: "!!!"

At this moment, Nezha’s brain spun faster than ever before.

"Haha, it’s still most comfortable being around Sister Yun."

In the distance, No Brainer and Unhappy spotted their elder sister gaining the upper hand. Puffing their chests like victorious roosters, they strutted over to the group of female immortals around Yang Chan and Fire Spirit to show off.

It’s fair to say these two were truly instigators.

Seeing that a full-blown catfight was about to erupt, Yunxiao offered an apologetic smile as she greeted the other immortals and led her younger sisters back toward the Jie Sect’s group.

In the distance, Jin Chan, trapped within a golden formation, was now beaten to the brink of despair. Though he was indeed very strong, his tactics were limited, especially against heavy hitters like Dashizhi and Maitreya, both equipped with powerful treasures. His survival so far was solely because the Western Sect had held back.

Ultimately, Jin Chan was sealed inside a Purple Gold Alms Bowl and sent by Maitreya to Lingshan to undergo Buddhist teachings.

Dashizhi, meanwhile, joined the Western Sect disciples in continuing the feast. Since they were the ones doing all the work, they wouldn’t leave without enjoying the banquet first.
