Chapter 214

"Yunhua, kneel down!"

"Haotian Shangdi's aura surged around him like a tide, rushing toward Fairy Yunhua."

"Dare to hurt my mother, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Seeing Haotian Shangdi strike at his mother, Ao Bian no longer held back; water surged around him, forming a water dragon that lunged at Haotian Shangdi."

"Nonsense!"

"Seeing the water dragon charging at him, Haotian Shangdi raised his brow, and stellar power spread across his body."

"Boom—"

"With a deafening crash, water sprayed everywhere, and Ao Bian suddenly realized that his three-pointed double-edged blade was blocked by Haotian Shangdi's stellar power, unable to injure him in the slightest."

"So strong!"

"Feeling the stellar power surrounding him, Ao Bian clearly understood that this was an opponent far stronger than himself."

"Still, no matter how strong the opponent, if they dared to hurt his mother, Ao Bian would fight them to the death."

"After all, his father had said that as a son, even if he had to sacrifice his life, he must protect his mother well."

"Thinking this, golden light burst forth from Ao Bian's heavenly eye, blindingly bright."

"Your gaze is not bad, but your strength is too weak!"

"Seeing Ao Bian's determined face, Haotian Shangdi coldly lifted a finger, aiming it at the heavenly eye between Ao Bian's brows."

"Can't dodge!"

"Watching the finger slowly approach, Ao Bian clearly knew that with his own strength he could not resist."

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Father, help me!"

"As children of Ao Yifan, each of them had received a spell personally transmitted by him."

"Although it was the first time using it, the sudden surge of mighty power still allowed Ao Bian to adapt instantly."

"Is this the power Father bestowed? It's truly formidable!"

"Thinking this, a golden light shot out from Ao Bian's heavenly eye and landed on the Illuminate-the-World Lamp above his head."

"This is!"

"His heart jolted, Haotian Shangdi only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes."

"The next moment, a sharp pain shot from Haotian Shangdi's finger."

"At the same moment, under the gaze of the immortals, Ao Bian's body began to swell rapidly; his mighty physical strength instantly broke free of the stellar power binding him."

"Heaven and Earth Embrace! This boy actually can use Heaven and Earth Embrace!"

"Watching Ao Bian's transformation, Bian Zhuang nearly jumped up from his seat."

"One must know that Heaven and Earth Embrace is the ultimate refinement of physical strength; even those great divine abilities rarely master this power."

"Now, this great divine ability has actually appeared in a youth."

"In an instant, many immortals present felt that their countless years of cultivation had gone to waste, as if it had gone into a dog's belly."

"Moreover, this boy actually managed to wound His Majesty Haotian; his talent is truly terrifying!"

"The Barefoot Great Immortal wildly fanned his palm-leaf fan, gazing at Ao Bian as if beholding a perfect piece of uncarved jade."

"You actually managed to wound me— not bad!"

Seeing the inconspicuous wound that had appeared on his own finger, the August Jade Emperor's gaze toward Ao Qian also gained a hint of appreciation.

"Is this my nephew? No wonder it's the blood of my own sister; if he could go to the Heavenly Court to serve me!"

While the August Jade Emperor was thinking about how to recruit this nephew to work for him in the Heavenly Court, meanwhile, Ao Qian, who was manifesting Heaven and Earth, raised his three‑pronged double‑edged blade high and fiercely slashed at his maternal uncle.

"You bullied my mother—die!"

Accompanied by a low roar, terrifying power surged forth instantly.

Seeing this, the August Jade Emperor couldn't help but frown.

"This kid's abilities aren't weak; it's just his temperament—he won't submit to discipline, he deserves a lesson!"

Thinking that, he saw the August Jade Emperor wave his right hand, and the power of the Twenty‑Eight Mansions instantly condensed in his palm.

The next moment, a huge celestial chart appeared and swept sideways toward Ao Qian.

"Boom—"

The terrifying power shook out, and fortunately there were no weaklings among the immortals present; otherwise this blow would surely have sent everyone sprawling.

However, even so, the entire venue of the Peach Banquet was thrown into chaos.

The Twenty‑Eight Mansions formation chart, with the power it contained, directly pressed Ao Qian, who was manifesting Heaven and Earth, into a steady retreat.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan gave the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool a look, after all, he would not let his own son really be bullied.

"Enough!"

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool naturally dared not defy Ao Yifan's wishes, after all, she still had many handles in his hands.

Accompanied by a cold shout from the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool, the next moment a white flag fluttered above the Jade Pool, instantly dispelling the power of the Twenty‑Eight Mansions that had enveloped the Jade Pool.

"Junior Sister, you……"

The August Jade Emperor hadn't expected his junior sister to suddenly make a move.

Moreover, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool didn't stand on ceremony with him, coldly saying, "Senior Brother, don't forget that today is the Peach Banquet my palace is hosting for all the immortals; do you really want to ruin my banquet?"

"But, Junior Sister, Yunhua and Longji, they……"

The August Jade Emperor was still preparing to argue, but the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool paid no attention, merely beckoning to Ao Qian, Ao Ji, and the other children and saying, "You must be the children of Yunhua and Longji; come forward and let me take a look!"

Ao Qian and the other children looked at their parents, received an affirmative answer, and then all went over to the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool.

"Aunt!"

"Grandma!"

"……"

A group of children were quite well-behaved; after all, their mothers had taught them before they came.

Even Ao Xian, who had fought with his own maternal uncle, obediently called out 'aunt'.

Compared to their attitude when facing the Heavenly Emperor, this was worlds apart; the Heavenly Emperor standing nearby could not help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

So, this villain is just acting alone, right?

Originally, however, he and his junior sister had jointly decided to punish Long Ji, who had erred while thinking of the mundane.

Now it's alright; I've become the bad person, while my junior sister, as soon as she acts, becomes the sole good person.

With the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool protecting them, Immortal Yunhua and Princess Long Ji also let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, they hadn't expected that the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool's attitude would be surprisingly good.

After all, before coming, they had still been worried that the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool would join forces with the Heavenly Emperor to jointly cause trouble for them.

Now it's fine; the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool is on their side, so there's nothing to fear at all.

You should know that, in the heavenly realm, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool's strength is not inferior to that of the Heavenly Emperor.

Sister-in-law!

Mother!

Seeing the situation calm down, Immortal Yunhua and Princess Long Ji also affectionately stepped forward to cozy up to the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool.

You guys, sigh...

Looking at Immortal Yunhua and Princess Long Ji, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool let out a long sigh.

In her heart, she naturally also held resentment toward these two girls.

After all, if they hadn't provoked Ao Yifan, I wouldn't have...

But, things having come to this, what could the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool do? She could only protect this whole family, lest Ao Yifan become dissatisfied and reveal what happened between her and him.

If that were the case, in the three realms I would have no face to show anyone!
