The immortals all turned their gaze towards the person who had spoken.
He was no stranger but the renowned Wen Quxing.
As the immortals looked on, the Jade Emperor also furrowed his brow and said, "Minister Xu, how do you view this matter?"
Wen Quxing replied, "Your Majesty, Sha Chen's arrogance and disrespect are indeed unforgivable offenses. However, if word gets out that we directly impose a sentence for refusing a reward, it will make the Heavenly Court look weak."
He continued, "What's more, Sha Chen's remarks have already revealed his heart. He has lost faith in the Heavenly Court and, even more so, has become disloyal and distant from Your Majesty."
The immortals all nodded in agreement.
The Jade Emperor himself couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Sha Chen was disloyal to him and could not be won over. In any case, the policy of appeasement had been a complete failure.
