Chapter 340: The content of the imperial decree, Yang Jian's determination

"High Immortal, after Princess Longji returned last time, she conveyed your words to His Majesty. After careful consideration, His Majesty is willing to release Yao Ji." Taibai Jinxing said cautiously and timidly.

While speaking, he was quietly observing the reactions of Gu Xiu, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan, worried about whether he would anger the other party.

He was just an errand runner in the Heavenly Court and could not afford to be beaten repeatedly.

Gu Xiu's expression did not change much.

But Yang Jian and Yang Chan's complexions changed slightly upon hearing this.

Yang Chan could not help but speak up, her face full of urgency.

"Taibai Jinxing, is the Heavenly Emperor really willing to release my mother and let our family reunite?"

Seeing Yang Chan's reaction, Taibai Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the three people in front of him were all reasonable people and should not beat him up.

Yang Jian's expression was slightly condensed.

"Third Sister, don't think too simply. The Heavenly Court slaughtered my entire Yang family and sent heavenly soldiers and generals to hunt you and me down. Now that he says he is willing to release Mother, I don't believe he suddenly found his conscience."

Taibai Jinxing secretly wiped away a drop of cold sweat, knowing that Yang Jian was not as simple as Yang Chan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Gu Xiu spoke up: "State the Heavenly Emperor's conditions."

Just as Yang Jian said, Gu Xiu did not believe that Haotian would suddenly find his conscience and release Yao Ji unconditionally.

Taibai Jinxing had a smile on his face, a smile that carried a hint of flattery.

"High Immortal, His Majesty has drafted an edict as proof. As long as the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void are on the list and serve the Heavenly Court, not only can Yao Ji be released, but Yang Jian and Yang Chan can even be accepted and allowed to hold office in Heaven."

Before Gu Xiu could speak.

Yang Jian snorted coldly.

"Haotian's abacus is really loud. Although we are at odds with the Chan Sect, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void are all powerful. Killing one is incredibly difficult, and he wants us to kill twelve? Is this trying to make us and the Chan Sect suffer both losses and perish together, so Haotian can sit back and reap the benefits?"

"I will find other ways to save my mother. As for Haotian, one day I, Yang Jian, will go up and settle the score with him!"

Taibai Jinxing did not know what to say for a moment.

It seemed that Haotian's intention was indeed to make the Chan Sect and Jie Sect suffer both losses and fight to the end, sending more people to the list to serve the Heavenly Court.

He himself also felt that sending all the Twelve Golden Immortals to the list was a bit of a fantasy.

Seeing Taibai Jinxing being timid and not daring to speak, Yang Jian looked at Gu Xiu.

"Master, I will find a way to deal with my mother's matter myself. Do not fall for the tricks of that dog thief Haotian."

In Yang Jian's view, if it weren't for Gu Xiu, he and Yang Chan might already be dead, and he did not want to involve Gu Xiu and the Jie Sect because of his own family affairs.

Taibai Jinxing did not expect Yang Jian to be so decisive.

If this matter was not handled well, he would definitely be punished after returning. He smiled apologetically: "If the High Immortal feels that this condition is unacceptable, you can wait a moment. I will return to Heaven now and inform His Majesty, trying my best to persuade His Majesty to lower the conditions."

Gu Xiu had long known about Haotian's wishful thinking, and he said lightly.

"No need, bring the imperial decree. I accept this condition. Go back and tell Haotian that when the Investiture of the Gods ends, the Twelve Golden Immortals will definitely all be on the list."

Taibai Jinxing did not expect Gu Xiu to agree to such a condition. If he went back and boasted about it, Haotian would definitely reward him heavily, and he began to flatter Gu Xiu.

"The High Immortal is truly wise and martial. This is the imperial decree. High Immortal, take a look, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Gu Xiu opened the imperial decree, took a look, and then closed it.

"I have one more request that you need to go back and explain to Haotian."

Taibai Jinxing was full of humility: "I wonder what request the High Immortal has?"

Gu Xiu said lightly: "The Investiture of the Gods of the Three Religions will not end for a while. Go back and tell Haotian to lighten the shackles of the Heavenly Dao order pressing on Tao Shan, so that Yao Ji can feel a little better. If he does not agree, I can only ask my Jie Sect Uncles to take action, and at that time, it will be very difficult to negotiate."

After several contacts, Gu Xiu's attitude had always been humble, not using power to suppress others, but suddenly he spoke harsh words.

Knowing that Gu Xiu attached great importance to this matter, Taibai Jinxing did not dare to neglect it.

"High Immortal, rest assured. The Eldest Princess worked diligently in the Heavenly Court in the past and was deeply respected by us. We also cannot bear to see her suffer under Tao Shan. I will definitely inform His Majesty of the High Immortal's proposal when I return, and by the way, lead the immortals to plead for the Eldest Princess together during the morning court."

Gu Xiu said: "In that case, I will trust you once."

Taibai Jinxing had a fawning smile on his face: "High Immortal, rest assured, this matter is on me. If there is nothing else, I will return to report."

Gu Xiu nodded.

After Taibai Jinxing left.

Yang Jian walked up.

"Master, why agree to such harsh conditions from the Heavenly Court? Although this disciple wants to save Mother, I do not want to involve Master and the Jie Sect in it."

Yang Chan was also waiting for Gu Xiu's explanation. Although she did not speak, one could see from her eyes that she held the same view as Yang Jian.

Facing their gazes, Gu Xiu smiled.

"You underestimate the matter of the Investiture of the Gods of the Three Religions."

"This Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has long been destined for the three religions to fight to the death,"

"There is only one result: either we destroy them, or they destroy us. If our sect wins the Investiture of the Gods, sending the Twelve Golden Immortals to the list is inevitable. Saving your mother is just a side benefit, but before the Investiture of the Gods ends, Yao Ji may still have to suffer under Tao Shan for a while."

Hearing this, Yang Jian's heart was full of gratitude, and he knelt down with a "thump".

"Master's great kindness and virtue, Third Sister and I will never forget!"

Gu Xiu raised his hand and used his magic power to lift Yang Jian up.

"Jian'er, what are you doing? You are my disciple, this is what I should do. Initially, my plan was to wait until the Investiture of the Gods ended to help you rescue Yao Ji. Now that Haotian is willing to loosen his mouth, there is no need to use force."

He pondered secretly in his heart.

Now that Haotian has loosened his mouth, it is estimated that there will be no such thing as Yang Jian splitting Tao Shan to save his mother later.

But Haotian is willing to accept Yang Jian and Yang Chan to hold office in Heaven.

This shows that the True Lord Erlang Xiansheng and the Three Holy Mothers of Mount Hua might still be conferred upon them.

At this time.

Xiqi.

Ji Chang was suffering from a serious illness and was already terminally ill, with not much time left.

Wen Zhong was stationed outside Xiqi City and also learned of this from the news sent back by scouts.

His expression was solemn.

This expedition was originally intended to capture Ji Xi and Jiang Ziya.

He did not expect that before he could capture them, Ji Chang would be about to die.

Wen Zhong's mood was complex for a moment.

At the same time, he was also puzzled in his heart.

Ji Chang was in his prime, and he was fine not long ago, so how could he be terminally ill.

The person in charge of Xiqi now is Jiang Ziya.

Ever since the Chan Sect sent third-generation disciples down the mountain to help, Wen Zhong found it difficult to deal with them alone.

He had no choice but to withdraw his troops to the vicinity of Si Shui Pass.

It was only after transferring the four generals of the Mo family from Jia Meng Pass to assist that he fought his way back.

Now Xiqi City has hung up the "no-war" sign again.

Wen Zhong shook his head, not knowing where Jiang Ziya came up with such a shameless trick; if he couldn't fight, he would hang up the "no-war" sign, just like playing house.

But Xiqi has mysterious protection, and once they force an attack on the city, they are always obstructed, otherwise, they would have taken Xiqi long ago. ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
