75: Chapter 74: Narada, I Curse You (Added Chapter, Requesting Monthly Pass!) 75: Chapter 74: Narada, I Curse You (Added Chapter, Requesting Monthly Pass!) Narada!
Narada!
Narada!
The voices, wave upon wave, echoed in his ears, shaking his form slightly and causing him to come to a halt right there.
“!!”
Narada Muni’s eyes widened, and the shock on his face seemed to magnify ten thousandfold in that moment, his astonishment clear for all to see.
His body stiffened, a chill creeping up his back, a sense of inexplicable horror welling up from within his heart.
The Heavenly Emperor couldn’t be about to curse him, could he?!
Narada Muni’s eyes darted around, his peripheral vision sweeping left and right, glancing at the surrounding immortals and a host of Devas, aware now that the attention of the assembly and the Three Aspects Deity was upon him; it was already too late to flee.
He could only face the battle head-on!
Having steeled his resolve, Narada made up his mind.
He would use the Righteous Law to refute Indra and debate against the Heavenly Emperor with the wisdom of an immortal!
Narada Muni had confidence in his rhetorical skills.
He was, after all, the Immortal, known for his eloquence and talent for beguiling others—a Bewitching Hermit.
Would he really lose to Indra in a debate?
Then he would become a joke among the immortals!
“Vishnu, oh~ Vishnu~”
Narada chanted his mantra, calming his mind, a slight smile on his lips, though his eyes, serious and cautious, turned as he shifted his stance.
Clutched in his embrace, the Vina held tightly.
Indra’s gaze intensified as he raised his hand to directly point at Narada.
An intangible might gathered between the two, and a multitude of surprised, confused, and incomprehensible stares intermingled around them, focusing on the two figures and their solemn faces.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…
The serene and ethereal celestial music of the Vighna suddenly altered, becoming more hurried.
“Narada!”
“You know your transgression!” Indra spoke out.
As soon as he spoke, all the Devas and immortals around them looked at Narada in surprise, wondering what conflict there could be between the two that had provoked the Heavenly Emperor to directly accuse him.
The Three Aspects Deity and the Lady Masters also turned their gazes towards them at this moment.
Every minute change in their expressions and postures was witnessed by everyone present.
“There is a rift between Narada Muni and the Heavenly Emperor!”
“Narada Muni is always causing trouble wherever he goes, indeed an annoyance; perhaps this is what has incited the Heavenly Emperor’s wrath.
Let’s see what this is about first?”
“After all, Narada is also an immortal!”
Many immortals whispered amongst themselves.
“Heavenly Emperor, I merely did not answer the Lady Master’s question, what wrong is there in that?” Narada presented a cheerful expression, spreading his hands open with a beguiling smile.
“Besides, it’s the duty of the Devas to revere the Lady Master.
Are you blaming me because of the Lady Master’s doubt?!” Narada Muni said, holding the Vina and laughing in an unhurried manner.
Indra’s eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curling into a faint smile.
Who told you it’s about that one thing!
“Narada Muni!”
“What are you talking about, did I tell you it’s about the Lady Master?”
“What are you feeling guilty for!”
Indra slightly bowed his head, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, his lips curling up gently.
His hands on his hips, he slightly leaned to one side, unleashing an invisible pressure that towered like an abyss, startling Narada Muni’s heart.
What!
In that moment, Narada Muni startled, subconsciously looking towards the two Lady Masters.
Both Goddess Lakshmi and Parvati had turned their heads and were now looking straight at Narada Muni.
What do you mean?
What are you trying to say?
In an instant, Narada Muni read these two questions in the eyes of the two Lady Masters.
“Wait a minute!”
“I didn’t…”
Before Narada could finish speaking, Indra’s voice rang out clear and resounding, like the anger of a thunderbolt, cutting straight through the air, abruptly interrupting him.
“Narada!!!”
“By the Supreme Lord as my witness, when you came to aid us, the Devas Army, you personally promised to support the Fire God Agni in the Mortal Realm against the Jīnchuáng forces!”
“Did such a thing happen?!”
Indra’s eyes were fierce, lightning seemingly flickering within them as his voice thundered.
His words reverberated throughout the Vighna, intimidating Narada Muni’s spirit.
All eyes turned as one.
Gazes converged on Narada, Devas, Immortals, even several Supreme Lords and Lady Masters.
Vishnu’s gaze also shifted over, looking at Narada Muni.
“There is…”
Under the gaze of the Supreme Lord, the smile on Narada Muni’s face froze at that moment, and he squeezed out this word from his throat.
This matter…
Such carelessness!
Narada’s heart sank.
Indra’s lips curved slightly upwards, he coldly watched Narada, stepping forward with measured pace, each step seemingly landing on Narada Muni’s heart.
“You!”
“Narada!”
“Before the battle had even begun, before the Heavenly Realm’s army had entered Earth, you showed cowardice and fled without fighting!”
Indra’s voice was cuttingly cold.
His voice like eternal glaciers, impossible to melt, so cold that it made Narada Muni tremble.
“…”
Narada Muni’s complexion changed, his smile growing increasingly awkward, to the point where he could no longer manage to smile.
When the Devas Army surged forth, he had felt that the situation was unfavorable and had run away ahead of time, never expecting that the Heavenly Emperor would bring this up.
“It is indeed so.”
“It was just that I sensed an Asura’s sneak attack, it was so sudden, I thought…”
Narada Muni said.
Ha!
Indra let out a cold laugh.
“I don’t care what you thought!”
“I’m asking you!”
“Did you ever offer a word of advice to Agni?”
“Did you ever remind Agni?”
“Did you ever speak up at all?”
Indra looked straight at Narada Muni, his eyes like the sun, radiating the light of the Righteous Law, shining upon the land.
“No!”
“You did not!”
“You never offered advice to Agni, you never reminded, nor did you even utter a single word!”
“Could it be that your promises, Narada, are false?
Are the promises of an Immortal not worth mentioning?”
Indra said.
Hearing this, Narada Muni was not yet in a panic, but the Immortals around him were already anxious.
Each word was like an axe, heavily chopping down on these Immortals.
“Hmph!
Narada Muni is truly despicable, clearly promising the Devas, yet failing to perform his duty, he truly deserves it.”
“He concocts trouble every day, and today he reaps his karma!”
“Right!
I support the just Heavenly Emperor!”
…
The Immortals spoke one after another, administering justice in their condemnation of Narada Muni.
Narada Muni was also thrown into panic, his face flushed red.
For a moment, his mind was clouded!
He clutched the Vina, turning his head towards Vishnu, frantically seeking the Supreme Lord’s help.
Vishnu’s smile was helpless, his eyes calm like a tranquil pond, reflecting Narada Muni’s flustered and helpless figure.
Even finding amusement comes with its cost!
Perhaps, if Narada Muni had taken the Fire God Agni with him when he fled, this would not have happened.
“Narada!!!”
“You cast aside your promises!
You’ve led beings astray!
You’ve clouded their wisdom!”
“I can bear with you!”
“But the Immortals cannot!
The Three Aspects Deity cannot!
The Righteous Law cannot!”
“I curse you!!!”
By this time, Indra already stood opposite Narada Muni, his eyes shining like the sun, emitting Divine Light that shone upon Narada Muni.
“Narada!!!”
Narada!
Narada!
Narada!
Indra’s voice thundered like lightning, echoing throughout Vighna, with the Power of Asceticism spreading at that moment, a tumultuous surge rushing to the skies.
The Power of Asceticism surged!
Vighna underwent a dramatic change of winds and clouds…
