Chapter 281: The arrogance of the Chan Sect, Yuanshi takes action

As soon as Antarctic Immortal Weng's words fell, the void shook, and a terrifying aura spilled out from it.

"Haotian, you are presumptuous!"

In the void, a terrifying consciousness emerged, turning into the phantom of Yuanshi Tianzun, and spoke indifferently: "Not respecting the Chan Sect and bullying my disciple should be punished!"

A trace of Saintly power spilled out, directly knocking Haotian flying and crashing into the throne, in an extremely wretched state.

Haotian got up in a wretched state, his heart filled with horror; he couldn't even resist a single thought from a Saint.

He clenched his fists; was it true that everyone below the Saint was an ant?

"Second Uncle Yuanshi, Taiyi caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Antarctic Immortal Weng spoke rudely. I was just performing the duties of the Heavenly Emperor. I don't know what is inappropriate about that?" Enduring the severe pain in his body, Haotian raised his head and looked directly at Yuanshi Tianzun's phantom.

"Haotian, don't forget your identity." Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was cold and majestic, as if it could penetrate the soul.

The voice echoed throughout the Lingxiao Palace, shaking the hearts of the immortals and gods.

"Your position as Heavenly Emperor was determined by us. We gave the Heavenly Court some face because of the Teacher's face. Don't think that just because you have some power, you can act recklessly. The affairs of our Chan Sect are not for you to interfere with!"

"Now bring Taiyi over; I don't want to say it a second time."

Haotian's heart burned with anger, but facing Yuanshi Tianzun, he had no way at all; the gap in strength was too great.

"Someone, go and release Perfected Taiyi and bring him here." Haotian gritted his teeth and said this with difficulty.

The Heavenly Official went to the Heavenly Prison to release Perfected Taiyi.

After a while, Perfected Taiyi walked in from outside.

Entering the hall, Perfected Taiyi lowered his head, his expression full of guilt: "Disciple Taiyi pays respects to Teacher, letting Teacher down."

"We will talk about this when we return." Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was as calm as water, but carried unquestionable majesty.

Perfected Taiyi said: "Master, Nezha is still in their hands. I don't believe Haotian dares to destroy Nezha's primordial spirit."

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Haotian, his voice cold.

"Hand over Nezha's primordial spirit."

When Haotian heard this, he took out an incense burner.

Taking the incense burner, Yuanshi Tianzun injected a trace of magic power into it.

Nezha's primordial spirit slowly emerged, but it was still in a deep sleep.

Seeing that Nezha was fine, Perfected Taiyi glanced at Haotian and spat.

"I said long ago that you, Haotian, are just a dog. I forgive you for not daring to kill Nezha. I gave you some face, but you couldn't recognize yourself."

Then he went down to the lower realm with Antarctic Immortal Weng.

Princess Long Ji had been paying attention to the situation in the Heavenly Court from the dark. Seeing the Chan Sect so arrogant, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Although there was no affection in the imperial family and the father-daughter relationship was not very good, the anger in her heart towards the Chan Sect was not less at all.

"Father, are you okay?" Princess Long Ji appeared and walked up.

When Haotian and Antarctic Immortal Weng were fighting, the immortals and gods were all scared away by the powerful immortal power and terrifying momentum.

The originally lively Lingxiao Palace now appeared exceptionally deserted and empty.

Seeing no one around, Princess Long Ji specifically called him Father.

"I'm fine. I'll handle this matter here; you don't need to get involved. Go down to the lower realm and cultivate well in the Green Luan Palace." Haotian sighed, his expression tired and helpless.

Long Ji frowned and said no more, walking out of the South Heavenly Gate to the lower realm.

However, she was not heading to Phoenix Mountain or the Green Luan Palace, but to Three Immortals Island.

Three Immortals Island.

After Gu Xiu returned, he had been slacking off a lot and was lying comfortably in the shade of a tree, enjoying the rare leisure time.

Princess Long Ji's sudden visit surprised him.

"Princess Long Ji, you suddenly came to find me; is there something wrong? But how did you know I was here?"

Gu Xiu remembered that they only met at Qinglan Residence.

"I have long retrieved your information; you are now on Three Immortals Island and have not returned to Qinglan Residence." Princess Long Ji said calmly.

"So that's how it is." Gu Xiu nodded, not surprised.

Princess Long Ji changed the subject: "The Chan Sect just attacked the heavens again, and the Jade Pure Saint even let a consciousness descend. In the end, there was no other way but to let Perfected Taiyi go."

Gu Xiu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, the Jade Emperor Haotian has the Dao Ancestor as a backer and is the Lord of the Three Realms; no one dares to do anything to him."

He pondered slightly in his heart.

In his impression, those who caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace were all disciples of the Chan Sect.

If Yang Jian hadn't been accepted into the Jie Sect, when he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace later, he would also have been a disciple of the Chan Sect.

The only thing Gu Xiu didn't expect was that disrupting Perfected Taiyi's plan and letting Perfected Taiyi fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court would actually lead to Yuanshi Tianzun taking action.

Princess Long Ji said: "I'm not worried about the Heavenly Emperor; I just want to know if your Jie Sect can win this Investiture of the Gods battle of the three sects?"

Although Haotian let her go to the lower realm to pay attention to the Investiture of the Gods battle of the three sects.

Whoever had the advantage, she would go to help, but the Chan Sect was so arrogant that it made Princess Long Ji very unhappy. If the Jie Sect could win the Investiture of the Gods, she wouldn't mind helping the Jie Sect now.

Gu Xiu's expression was calm, and he smiled: "As long as I am here, I guarantee that my Jie Sect will definitely win the Investiture of the Gods. If you don't believe in the Jie Sect, you can also try to believe in me."

Seeing Gu Xiu always looking so confident, Princess Long Ji was slightly stunned.

Coming back to her senses, she steadied herself.

"You have no proof; you always have to let me see some results."

"Results?" Gu Xiu laughed: "Haven't you seen the results? Perfected Taiyi wanted to scheme against my Jie Sect, but was countered by my Jie Sect. Otherwise, how do you think Nezha died, and how could Perfected Taiyi have been captured by the Heavenly Court?"

"But that's not enough." Princess Long Ji said.

Gu Xiu shook his head: "Then just watch. Anyway, the help of the Heavenly Court doesn't account for much in the struggle of the three sects. The key is the game of the three sects. I don't mind you watching a bit more."

Seeing Gu Xiu speak so confidently, Princess Long Ji looked at him, and for a moment, she really wanted to believe Gu Xiu's words unconditionally.

"Then I will watch the next step, how your Jie Sect deals with the Chan Sect."

Gu Xiu didn't care too much about what the other party would do.

"Of course, but the current Heavenly Court lacks talent, so it cannot establish prestige in the Three Realms, which is why Perfected Taiyi attacked the heavens. I have a suggestion; you can suggest it to the Jade Emperor Haotian. If he agrees, it can solve the urgent need of the Heavenly Court."

"What suggestion?" Princess Long Ji asked curiously.

"My Jie Sect can send a few people to the heavens to hold positions at any time, holding honorary posts. If there is anything in the future, we can help at the first opportunity and also take action in a justified manner. If the Jade Emperor Haotian agrees, I will explain it to the Sect Leader."

"Are you serious?" Princess Long Ji thought, there was such a good thing.

At the beginning, the Heavenly Court asked the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to bow down and submit, which led to the Investiture of the Gods.

Hearing Gu Xiu say that some Jie Sect disciples could now go to the heavens to hold positions and honorary posts, she thought she had heard wrong.

In her impression, due to the lack of manpower in the Heavenly Court and the lack of prestige, the disciples of the three sects completely looked down on the Heavenly Court, let alone actively going to the Heavenly Court to hold positions.

Looking at Princess Long Ji, Gu Xiu said very firmly: "Serious. If it doesn't work, I can go to the Heavenly Court to hold a position myself."

Worried that Gu Xiu would go back on his word, Princess Long Ji said impatiently: "Very well, remember your words. I will go to the heavens now to report to the Heavenly Emperor."

As she said this, she summoned the Green Luan and flew to the heavens.

"Master, who was the young lady just now?" Yang Jian walked over with the Howling Celestial Dog.

Gu Xiu thought for a moment and told him truthfully: "The one just now was the Heavenly Emperor's daughter, Princess Long Ji. She can be considered your cousin."

"Cousin?" Yang Jian was stunned, his expression complex.

Gu Xiu smiled: "Let's not talk about this. Yang Jian, you must manage your dog well. I found bite marks on the table these past few days; it must have been the Howling Celestial Dog."

"Master, rest assured, I will educate the Howling Celestial Dog well."

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

After Perfected Taiyi returned, he explained to Yuanshi Tianzun why he was captured by the Heavenly Court.

"Teacher, the matter is like this. The disciple attacked the Heavenly Court because Nezha was killed. Who knew Haotian would actually go to find the three Xiao sisters of the Jie Sect to come and help."

"The disciple was no match and was also taken away by them with the Nine-Dragon Fire Cover. I implore Teacher to ask for the Nine-Dragon Fire Cover back."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, and only after a moment did he speak: "The Nine-Dragon Fire Cover, I will go and ask for it for you. I believe Tong Tian will not dare not to give it. As for Nezha, you go back and resurrect him."

"Yes, Teacher." Perfected Taiyi said respectfully, bowing.

Although the process was not perfect, resurrecting Nezha and his original plan were not much different, so it was acceptable.

After Perfected Taiyi left, Antarctic Immortal Weng asked.

"Teacher, the three Xiao sisters of the Jie Sect went to help the Heavenly Court; could it be that the Jie Sect has already joined forces with the Heavenly Court?"

Yuanshi Tianzun thought about it,

"Based on my understanding of Tong Tian, he shouldn't do this. It should be a coincidence; the Heavenly Court was asking for help, and the Jie Sect just happened to go to the Heavenly Court to quell the chaos."

"Although we look down on the Heavenly Court, when the Heavenly Court has an accident, the three sects do have the obligation to help."

"The disciple understands."

At this time.

Zixiao Palace.

Haotian was rushing to pay respects to Hongjun.

The Chan Sect attacked the heavens, the Heavenly Court was humiliated again, and even insulted him. This time, he must cry and complain properly and ask for some benefits.

Otherwise, he really couldn't continue to be the Heavenly Emperor. After being received, as soon as he entered Zixiao Palace, Haotian knelt on the ground with a "thump" and burst into tears.

"Disciple Haotian pays respects to Teacher. Teacher, you must make the decision for the disciple!"

Ancestor Hongjun sat high on the cloud bed, with laws flowing around his body and Hunyuan energy lingering. He couldn't see his face, but he could feel the unparalleled majesty. He opened his eyes slightly.

"Haotian, you came to Zixiao Palace; is there something wrong?"

Haotian immediately wiped his nose and tears and told how the Chan Sect bullied him and how they bullied the Heavenly Court.

"Teacher, the Chan Sect is too arrogant. They have attacked the Heavenly Court three times, making the Heavenly Palace restless."

"The speed at which the disciple builds the Heavenly Court cannot keep up with the speed at which they destroy it. Brother Yuanshi even indulges the disciples of the Chan Sect to insult the disciple."

"The disciple is the Lord of the Heavenly Court but has suffered such humiliation. I hope Teacher will make the decision for the disciple, punish the Chan Sect, and rectify the Heavenly Dao!"

Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes slightly, his gaze deep and calm, looking at Haotian crying below, and spoke slowly: "Haotian, don't be so sad. I already know about this matter."

Hearing this, Haotian raised his head, his eyes full of expectation, and said urgently: "Teacher, then you must preside over justice for the disciple! The Chan Sect is so reckless. If they are not punished, where will the majesty of the Heavenly Court be? If this continues, the Heavenly Court cannot be established at all. The disciple's ability is low, and I really cannot bear this position of Heavenly Emperor..."

Ancestor Hongjun sighed lightly: "The Heavenly Dao has its own principles of operation. The actions of the Chan Sect this time have their own causes and effects. But as the Lord of the Heavenly Court, you should also reflect on your own shortcomings. I need to focus on merging with the Dao now. The Heavenly Dao is selfless, and it is not appropriate for me to interfere in external affairs."

When these words came out, Haotian was slightly stunned, wondering if Hongjun knew his thoughts.

"Teacher's lesson is correct. The disciple will definitely reflect, but that Chan Sect..."

Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand and said: "I will weigh it myself. You go back to the Heavenly Court first and wait quietly for disposal."

Haotian didn't dare to say more and had to bow respectfully: "Thank you, Teacher. The disciple takes his leave."

Returning to the Heavenly Court.

Haotian was confused.

Last time the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect attacked the Heavenly Court, he went to Zixiao Palace to cry and complain, and complained that the Heavenly Court lacked manpower, making it difficult to maintain the order and balance of the Three Realms.

After Hongjun heard this, he immediately formulated the Investiture of the Gods list to recruit talent for the Heavenly Court to enhance the strength of the Heavenly Court and better manage the Three Realms.

This time he went to cry and complain but didn't get a clear answer, only telling him to wait quietly for news. Was it really to let him wait, or was it to brush him off? Haotian didn't dare to think, and didn't dare to ask.

His mood was very bad, so he had to go back to Yaochi to rest.

At this time, Princess Long Ji came to visit.

Hearing the report from the Heavenly Official, Haotian let Princess Long Ji in.

Glancing at Princess Long Ji, Haotian spoke, his voice carrying a trace of fatigue.

"Long Ji, you didn't return to the lower realm properly, but ran over to find me; is there something wrong?"

Princess Long Ji bowed to Haotian.

"Father, I do have something to report. The matter is like this..."

Princess Long Ji told Gu Xiu's suggestion, and Haotian frowned slightly after hearing it.

"The Jie Sect wants to send people to be stationed in the Heavenly Court now?"

Princess Long Ji nodded and said very firmly: "Yes, Father, but whether they hold positions or honorary posts, it is estimated that it depends on the status of the Jie Sect disciples, but they will help the Heavenly Court if there is anything."

Haotian pondered for a while: "I remember Gu Xiu is a third-generation disciple. Does his word count?"

"Father, I have had a lot of contact with him and have a certain understanding of him. I believe he is truly capable of doing it before he made such a boast. And he also said that if he cannot be the master of this matter, he is willing to go to the heavens to hold a position himself."

Haotian thought about it. He knew Gu Xiu; he was not only Yun Xiao's disciple but also Yang Jian's master.

At that time, it was Gu Xiu who saved Yang Jian and Yang Chan.

Now Yang Jian and Yang Chan had powerful strength and amazing backgrounds.

But thinking that not long ago Gu Xiu and the three Xiao sisters came to save the Heavenly Court and beat Perfected Taiyi up, if such strength could be recruited, it would be good.

"Yes, Long Ji, you go and tell Gu Xiu that I have agreed to his conditions, but the cultivation of the recommended disciples cannot be too weak."

"Yes, Father, I will go to the lower realm now to inform Gu Xiu about this matter."

After getting permission, Princess Long Ji came out of Yaochi, went out of the South Heavenly Gate, and immediately went to the lower realm.
