Chapter 225

"Hong Jin, do you know your crime?"

The Giant Spirit God held his head high and chest out, his mouth letting out a deafening roar.

Behind him, the heavenly soldiers and generals were lined up neatly, each solemn, wearing silver-white armor, their spears like a forest, swords and halberds gleaming.

They shouted the battle cry in unison, the sound echoing through the nine heavens.

Following the Giant Spirit God's order, the heavenly soldiers and generals transformed into a long rainbow, falling into the peach garden and surrounding the entire bamboo house tightly.

Looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals falling into the peach garden, Gu Xiu's expression was indifferent as he walked out and looked up at the clouds.

"Giant Spirit God, it seems the previous matter didn't teach you a lesson?"

The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

On the clouds, the Giant Spirit God's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and when he saw Gu Xiu's appearance, he almost fell from the clouds.

"Immortal, why is it you?"

"Otherwise, who did you think it was?"

The Giant Spirit God looked at the heavenly soldier who had reported the news, his eyes wanting to kill. Didn't they say the one meeting Princess Long Ji was Hong Jin?

The heavenly soldier was terrified by the Giant Spirit God's stare and hurriedly lowered his head and retreated below.

"Immortal, this is all a misunderstanding, we didn't know you were here." The Giant Spirit God's expression was slightly awkward.

The two great generals saw the Giant Spirit God being so humble and were puzzled.

"Giant Spirit God, who is this person?"

"Two great generals, this person is not Hong Jin, nor is he someone we can afford to offend."

The two great generals were puzzled.

But learning that they had come to the mortal world this time to teach a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect a lesson, involving a Saint's disciple, the two were just holding positions in the Heavenly Court for a salary, so if it wasn't necessary, they naturally wouldn't touch the bad luck of a Saint's disciple.

They didn't continue to ask.

The Giant Spirit God cupped his hands to apologize to Gu Xiu: "Immortal, I have offended you."

Then he shouted at the heavenly soldiers and generals surrounding the bamboo house: "Why don't you retreat yet!"

"Wait!" Gu Xiu called out to stop the heavenly soldiers and generals who were about to leave.

The Giant Spirit God's heart tightened, and he said cautiously: "Immortal, do you have any other matters?"

"Hong Jin is a disciple of my Jie Sect. What are you looking for him for?"

"This..." The Giant Spirit God hesitated for a moment.

He had to tell the story of why Haotian had asked them to come to the mortal world to teach Hong Jin a lesson.

"Immortal, that's how it is; this little god was just acting on orders."

The Giant Spirit God was somewhat annoyed at his own recklessness; he should have seen clearly who it was before letting the heavenly soldiers and generals go down.

Hearing this, Gu Xiu pondered in his heart.

"So it turns out Haotian was afraid his daughter would be abducted by Hong Jin, which is why there is such a scene now."

But the marriage between Hong Jin and Princess Long Ji was arranged by the Immortal Fuyuan and the Old Man of the Moon, and it had nothing to do with Hong Jin.

However, since the Heavenly Court had come to find trouble with him by mistake, he had to ask for some interest for Yang Jian.

"Giant Spirit God, we are old acquaintances. I don't know if you have found trouble with my disciple Yang Jian after returning to the Heavenly Court?"

Gu Xiu looked at the Giant Spirit God calmly, his tone unhurried.

Hearing this, the Giant Spirit God's heart tightened again, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Immortal, the previous matters were all misunderstandings. I was able to ascend to Heaven thanks to you; how could I find trouble with your disciple without reason?"

Gu Xiu frowned slightly.

He had brought the Giant Spirit God to Heaven just to have him find something for Yang Jian to do; he couldn't let Yang Jian have it too easy during his training.

If the Giant Spirit God didn't find trouble with Yang Jian, everything he had done before would have been in vain.

"Is that so? I want to hear the truth. You know, if Yang Jian comes back, I will know as soon as I ask. Don't blame me for not remembering old feelings then."

"This..." Hearing the threat in Gu Xiu's tone, the Giant Spirit God gritted his teeth, hesitated again and again, and finally deflated: "Immortal, when I went back, I did find trouble with Yang Jian, but that was all the Heavenly Emperor's decree. I am just a little god and didn't dare to disobey the decree. Moreover, Yang Jian obtained your true teachings, so not only could I not do anything to him, but I was also beaten to a pulp by him."

After finishing, the Giant Spirit God had a mournful face, his originally majestic face now full of grievance and helplessness.

Gu Xiu's expression eased slightly.

That was more like it; it wasn't in vain that he had brought the Giant Spirit God to Heaven on the way.

He said softly.

"Although I have a good temper, you found trouble with my disciple, and now you have come to disturb me again. Should we talk about this properly?"

Knowing that Gu Xiu probably wouldn't let them leave easily today, the Giant Spirit God was full of difficulty.

Just at this moment, two great generals stepped forward, their figures tall, their momentum extraordinary, and they shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Although you are a disciple of the Jie Sect, don't be so aggressive just because of this identity!"

Another great general also spoke immediately, his voice as loud as a bell: "The Heavenly Emperor is the Lord of the Three Realms designated by the Dao Ancestor, and even a Saint must give him some face. You are just a Saint's disciple, and we have already been very polite. We already said it was a misunderstanding; don't push your luck."

The two great generals stepped forward to stand up for him, but the Giant Spirit God didn't feel any comfort at all; instead, he broke into a cold sweat in his heart.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes revealed worry as he whispered a reminder.

"Two great generals, stop talking; we can't afford to offend this Immortal."

The two great generals didn't appreciate it at all.

"Giant Spirit God, I heard your immortal roots were broken before; it wasn't broken by this kid, was it? That's why you are so afraid of him?"

"Disciples of the Jie Sect are as numerous as the hairs on an ox, and they are of mixed quality. That you could have your immortal roots broken by this kind of kid shows that you really need to improve your cultivation."

The two gods sang in harmony.

"This trip down was to teach Hong Jin a lesson, but the person Princess Long Ji came to see was not Hong Jin, but this person. We just got the wrong information."

"That's right, since we are here, let's teach this person a lesson so we can go back and report to the Heavenly Emperor."

Seeing the two great generals wanting to take action against Gu Xiu, the Giant Spirit God tried to persuade them.

"Two great generals, you must not be impulsive."

He secretly complained in his heart.

He knew Gu Xiu's power well; the two great generals might make the situation even harder to clean up.

"Giant Spirit God, get out of the way. Being this timid, what kind of style is this! Today I must teach this kid a lesson."

The other great general also chimed in: "If you are afraid, hide to the side."

"All heavenly soldiers and generals, listen to my order, attack! Capture this person."

Following the order of the two great generals, the heavenly soldiers and generals surrounding the peach garden surged toward Gu Xiu like a tide, their battle cries shaking the sky and earth.

Gu Xiu hadn't expected the two great generals to be this brave.

"Fine, I'll give you a lesson then." Gu Xiu's voice was indifferent.

Just as the heavenly soldiers and generals were about to get close, his Taiyi Golden Immortal magic power erupted instantly, the powerful aura sweeping out like a storm.

The group of heavenly soldiers and generals rushing at the front hadn't reacted yet before they were directly knocked away by this powerful force, like kites with broken strings, screaming as they flew backward, hitting tree trunks, smashing into stones, and falling to the ground; for a time, people were turned upside down.

The heavenly soldiers and generals behind were frightened by this sudden scene and stopped their steps.

But the two great generals were watching from above and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue rushing forward, only to be ruthlessly knocked away by the magic power erupting from Gu Xiu's body.

They lay on the ground groaning in pain, no longer having the courage to attack.
