Chapter 266

Knowing that more words were useless, Taibai Jinxing had no choice but to say dejectedly: "Taibai will return to the Heavenly Court to report now. I understand your eagerness to save your mother, but do not be impulsive!"

Before leaving, Taibai Jinxing did not forget to offer advice. Not long ago, the Twelve Golden Immortals had attacked the Heavenly Court, which had already caused the Heavenly Court to lose all face.

If Yang Jian were to attack heaven again, the Heavenly Court would truly become a joke in the Three Realms.

"Stop talking! If you don't leave now, you will never leave!"

Yang Jian summoned his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber. The blade flashed with a cold light, radiating a sharp aura.

The Howling Celestial Dog bared its fangs and barked wildly at Taibai Jinxing. Its fierce appearance suggested that it would pounce and bite at any moment if Yang Jian gave the signal.

Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing's face turned deathly pale, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Yang Jian, do not be impulsive, do not be impulsive! This humble immortal will leave now, I will leave now." Having said that, Taibai Jinxing dared not stay a moment longer, transformed into a stream of light, and fled in a panic.

Seeing this, Yang Jian put away the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber and looked at Yang Chan.

"Third sister, with second brother here, the Heavenly Court will never be able to bully us."

Yang Chan nodded, her eyes full of reliance and trust in Yang Jian.

The Howling Celestial Dog also quieted down, circling around Yang Jian's feet.

Gu Xiu watched from the side.

This Yang Jian was worthy of being a person with a protagonist template; his dominance was leaking out.

However, the bond between these siblings was truly good.

Now that Yang Chan was with him, the fate of the two had changed somewhat.

As long as Yang Chan was not left too lonely in Huashan alone in the future, there would be no Liu Yanchang incident, and the two siblings should not turn against each other.

While he was thinking, Yang Jian and Yang Chan walked over.

"Master, just now the disciple was momentarily angry and spoke words provoking the authority of the Heavenly Court. Will this cause trouble for you, Master?"

Gu Xiu came back to his senses, looked at the pair of siblings in front of him, and smiled slightly: "It is no matter. Since I have decided to support you, I will not fear the trouble brought by the Heavenly Court."

"Master's great kindness, this disciple will never forget." Yang Jian could not help but bow.

Gu Xiu walked up and gently patted Yang Jian on the shoulder: "Do not say such things. Between master and disciple, we should support each other. But I heard you split Tao Shan?"

"At that time, the disciple saw my mother suffering under Tao Shan and momentarily lost my reason, only wanting to save her. Please forgive me, Master." A trace of self-reproach flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.

Gu Xiu sighed long: "Your eagerness to save your mother is understandable, but the timing is wrong. Wait until this Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth passes and your strength has reached a higher level before you split the mountain."

"This disciple will listen to you, Master."

Gu Xiu nodded.

Subsequently, Yang Jian and Yang Chan left to attend to their own affairs.

Heavenly Court.

Clouds swirled, and the immortal palaces were majestic.

Taibai Jinxing returned to heaven from the Three Immortals Island and reported to Haotian at the first opportunity.

Upon hearing that he had messed things up.

Haotian frowned: "Taibai Jinxing, I had high hopes for you, but you couldn't even handle such a small matter. You have disappointed me too much."

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This humble minister has tried his best to persuade them, but they simply would not listen." Taibai Jinxing said, bowing and scraping.

Hearing Taibai Jinxing making excuses for his own incompetence, Haotian was just about to get angry when his head began to ache again, so he had to rub his temples.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, the entire court of immortals and gods is just a bunch of rice buckets. Now it depends on whether the Investiture of the Gods can bring me some excellent generals. As for Yang Jian, a mere Yang Jian dares to make bold statements about going to heaven to seek justice? It is simply a joke. If he dares to come, I will definitely make sure he never returns."

"Your Majesty, Yang Jian and Yang Chan are after all Yao Ji's children, and their current strength is powerful; they are not what they used to be. At present, the Heavenly Court is in need of people. Why not recruit them to serve the Heavenly Court?" Taibai Jinxing suggested cautiously, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, fearing that he would anger Haotian, who was currently in a fit of rage.

Haotian glanced at Taibai Jinxing below and said coldly: "Recruit them? Hmph, Yao Ji is still pressed under Tao Shan. Even if I wanted to, would they be willing?"

"Your Majesty, Yao Ji is after all your sister, why not..."

Before Taibai Jinxing could finish speaking, Haotian interrupted directly: "Taibai Jinxing, could it be that you want me to release Yao Ji and show her mercy?"

"Your Majesty, I believe you have already punished Yao Ji enough. Showing mercy in exchange for Yang Jian and Yang Chan serving the Heavenly Court is not impossible."

"Don't even think about it!" Haotian flatly rejected this proposal: "Yao Ji, as the goddess in charge of the Desire Realm, took the lead in longing for the mortal world and marrying a mortal to have children. Her crime is unforgivable! If she is not severely punished, where will the majesty of the Heavenly Court remain? Will the Heavenly Laws and regulations still be valued by the immortals?"

Haotian was in a very bad mood and flicked his sleeves: "Withdraw, I need to have a good rest."

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly lowered his head, bowed, and took his leave: "This minister will take his leave now."

After coming out.

Taibai Jinxing glanced at the lower realm and sighed.

"Yang Jian, Yang Chan, I have already pleaded for you and Yao Ji before His Majesty, but His Majesty does not appreciate it, and I am helpless."

Time flew by.

In the Heavenly Court, after experiencing this brief moment.

Quite some time had passed in the lower realm.

Nezha returned to Chen Tang Guan after completing his studies at Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain.

On this day, while Nezha was playing, because the weather was hot, he planned to go into the water to bathe.

At this time.

On the Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu was meditating on a reef when the system task notification sound rang in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Detected that Nezha is about to come to the East Sea to bathe due to the heat. Event options triggered, please make a choice, Host."

"Option One: Ignore this matter, reward one flat peach!"

"Option Two: Stop Nezha from going to the East Sea to bathe, reward top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Ancient Star Sword! (Can resonate with the power of the stars of the heavens; under the illumination of starlight, its power is doubled, and it can draw upon the power of the stars of the heavens to attack!)"

"Option Three: When Nezha conflicts with Ao Bing and intends to pull out Ao Bing's dragon tendon, step in to save him and form a good relationship with the Dragon Palace! Reward Da Luo Dao Fruit!" (System-produced, must be a boutique; consuming it directly can lead directly to Da Luo Golden Immortal.)

Gu Xiu opened his eyes slightly, his expression very calm: "Has Nezha already returned to Chen Tang Guan from Qianyuan Mountain?"

Because he had long known the plot, he did not feel surprised at all.

He looked at the three options in front of him and pondered for a moment.

The first option was directly excluded; Gu Xiu did not look highly upon the reward given.

The second option gave a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which was quite attractive, but he already had three top-grade innate spiritual treasures in his hands that he couldn't even use all of.

His gaze fell on the third option: "I have been given the Da Luo Dao Fruit several times before, but I gave them up. Currently, I have enough magic treasures in my hands, so I will choose the Da Luo Dao Fruit."

"System, I choose three."

"Ding!"

"Selection successful. The task time limit is three days. Please complete it as soon as possible, Host. Once the time limit expires, the task will be void!"

Having accepted the task, Gu Xiu thought about the details related to Nezha stirring up the sea.

"It seems Nezha killed the Yaksha first, and then it was Ao Bing's turn."

"If the Yaksha doesn't die, Ao Bing won't appear. It seems the Yaksha is in a situation where he must die."

Just as he was planning to leave the Three Immortals Island, Yang Jian suddenly appeared and called out to him.

"Master."

Gu Xiu stopped: "Yang Jian, it's you. Do you have something?"

"Nothing much, just walking around nearby and seeing you, Master, so I came to say hello. Are you going out, Master?" Yang Jian strode over.

Gu Xiu smiled slightly: "I am indeed going out to handle some matters. Do you want to come along?"

This was the first time Gu Xiu had let Yang Jian follow him, which surprised Yang Jian a little.

He was slightly stunned, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"This disciple is naturally willing to follow you, Master."

The two left the Three Immortals Island, and Gu Xiu led Yang Jian to the coast of the East Sea, then stopped in the sky.

Gu Xiu had an ethereal temperament, his sleeves fluttering, his posture upright, and he looked down at the East Sea below with a calm expression. The sea waves were layered and colliding, splashing countless snow-white spray.

Yang Jian, who was beside him, was also calm and composed, his plain clothes moving with the wind. His gaze followed Gu Xiu, watching the vast ocean together, and he asked puzzled: "Master, why are we here?"

Gu Xiu stood on auspicious clouds with his hands behind his back, pretending to be profound.

"I deduced the heavenly secrets and learned that the Chan Sect disciple Nezha will come to the seaside to bathe in a moment. Because he is in a playful mood, he will use the Armillary Sash to stir up the East Sea, turning the Dragon Palace below upside down, and even kill the patrolling dragon soldiers and Yaksha of the Dragon Palace. We will step in to save them in a moment and form a good relationship with the Dragon Palace."

"Everything is as you say, Master." Although Yang Jian was a little puzzled, he still listened to Gu Xiu and waited quietly.

The two did not wait long before a child of about seven years old, accompanied by a servant, came to the seaside in an overbearing manner.

Yang Jian looked at the two below. The servant was completely a mortal, and only Nezha was a cultivator.

"Master, this child seems unusual. Could it be that he is the one we are waiting for?"

Gu Xiu nodded gently, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Do not look down on him just because he is a child. Nezha is the person who is to face the calamity, accepted by Master Taiyi of Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain. He is the reincarnation of the Spiritual Pearl and cannot be viewed as an ordinary child."

"This disciple understands." Although he did not quite understand, Yang Jian knew that Nezha's origin was unusual.

Gu Xiu smiled gently: "If you understand, then let's watch slowly."

Yang Jian nodded, focusing on the situation below.

He saw Nezha take off his clothes and go into the sea to bathe.

After bathing for a while, he felt that just bathing was boring, so he took the Armillary Sash and played in the sea. The Armillary Sash glowed with red light, continuously extending in the sea, winding and undulating.

The sash, which was originally only a few feet long, covered a large area of the sea in the blink of an eye, and under Nezha's dancing, it turned the East Sea coast upside down.

The waves roared, raising giant waves dozens of feet high. A large number of sea creatures died under this stirring, floating on the sea surface with their white bellies up.

Some bodies were torn to pieces.

When Nezha saw this, he had no intention of stopping at all and stirred even more fiercely.

For a time, in the East Sea, corpses floated, and the originally vibrant coast turned into a dead, bloody hell.

Yang Jian frowned.

"This Nezha is so mischievous. Master, why not let me go down and teach him a lesson?"

Yang Jian was a little eager to try, wanting to go over and compete with Nezha.

Gu Xiu shook his head and stopped him: "He is a Chan Sect disciple after all. We need a reason to act, otherwise, when the time comes for the Chan Sect people to go to Master Tong Tian and make false accusations, we won't be able to explain ourselves clearly."

"Master, you are right. This disciple was reckless."

With Gu Xiu's hint, Yang Jian had no choice but to patiently watch Nezha mess around in the East Sea.

As the Armillary Sash stirred wantonly in the sea, whirlpools appeared one after another in the seawater.

Under the sea, the East Sea Dragon Palace shook violently under this sudden stirring. Jewelry and jade fell one after another, the pillars of the crystal palace broke, and pearls and gemstones scattered all over the floor.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals were in a panic.

Dragon King Ao Guang roared in the palace: "Who is being presumptuous above my Dragon Palace!"

He immediately ordered the patrolling Yaksha Li Gen to go and check quickly.

The Yaksha received the order and hurriedly surfaced from the sea.

As soon as he surfaced, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, his eyes wide open. A large number of sea creatures had died, floating on the sea surface with their white bellies up. Nezha was waving the Armillary Sash, wrapping around a sea area, stirring up the waves to the sky, the waves surging.

The Yaksha roared: "What kind of child are you, daring to cause trouble here, disturbing the Dragon Palace! And harming so many water creatures of my Dragon Palace."

When Nezha saw that the Yaksha was burly, with a green face and fangs, holding a steel fork, and looking fierce, he stopped his movements and said loudly: "I am Nezha, son of Li Jing of Chen Tang Guan. Where did you beast come from? You are worthy of talking to me, and you dare to come and disturb me? Are you looking for death!"

His demeanor was extremely arrogant.

When the Yaksha heard this, he was furious: "I am the patrolling Yaksha. You are stirring up the East Sea here and harming countless water creatures of my Dragon Palace, and you still dare to call me a beast. Let's see if I don't teach you a lesson."

Saying that, the Yaksha leaped out of the water, waving his steel fork, and thrust it towards Nezha with all his might.

Nezha sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "You beasts are looking for death!"

He took off the Universe Ring and swung it out, and with a "bang", it smashed onto the patrolling Yaksha's head.

The Yaksha screamed, blood splattered on his head, and he fell to the ground.

However, he was still alive.

"You beast, do you know the consequences of provoking me now?"

Nezha walked up, picked up the steel fork on the ground, and thrust it at the Yaksha, ending the Yaksha's life.

After killing the Yaksha, Nezha mocked him.

"Dog thing, you dirtied my Universe Ring, I have to wash it."

Saying that, he put the Universe Ring into the sea to stir and wash it.

The Dragon Palace was once again shaking under this stirring, with the risk of collapsing.

Ao Guang was puzzled. He clearly sent the patrolling Yaksha to investigate, so why did it quiet down for a while, and then start shaking again.

At this time, a dragon soldier ran to report that the patrolling Yaksha had been beaten to death.

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was shocked: "The patrolling Yaksha Li Gen is a righteous god appointed by the Heavenly Court, who dared to beat him to death?"

He immediately ordered the dragon soldiers. He wanted to go out and see for himself, but the movement in the sea was too great. Ao Bing came over to ask, and upon learning of this, he immediately asked to go.

On the clouds.

Seeing Nezha beat the patrolling Yaksha to death and still speak brazenly, Yang Jian frowned slightly. If it weren't for Gu Xiu not letting him go down, he would have wanted to go down and punish Nezha.

Understanding Yang Jian's current thoughts, Gu Xiu said: "Yang Jian, you will inevitably face the people of the Chan Sect in the future. I will tell you some experience in dealing with Chan Sect disciples to avoid you suffering losses in the future."

"Please speak, Master."

Gu Xiu said slowly: "Chan Sect disciples like to sneak attack. Before they act, they will use words to provoke the other party, giving themselves a legitimate reason to act."

"So we must treat them as they treat us. In the future, when facing Chan Sect disciples, do not be provoked by the other party's words."

"On the contrary, you should provoke the other party, let them act first, and then you act. When the time comes to reason, we will also have reasons to argue."

"This disciple understands." Yang Jian said respectfully.
