King Li was furious. He risked being beaten to death and came personally to find Chen Shi, not to deliver the Great Heavenly Venerate's decree, but to become the Vice Marshal under the Grand Marshal!
Chen Shi didn't understand military command and figured that this expedition needed an expert's help. To his surprise, Chen Shi wanted to appoint his favorite concubine as Vice Marshal.
This was sheer folly!
King Li had already consulted the Jade Emperor about this matter. The Jade Emperor told him that as long as King Chen agreed, he could take the position of Vice Marshal.
Of course, the Great Heavenly Venerate could appoint someone as Vice Marshal, but Chen Shi stationed his troops at Penglai West and held power arrogantly. If the Great Heavenly Venerate sent a Vice Marshal forcibly, they might mysteriously die in office within a few days.
Chen Shi would undoubtedly do such a thing.
But when had King Li ever felt so aggrieved?
