Chapter 399: Ao Qian Causes a Great Uproar in the Heavenly Palace

Ao Qian looked at his own father with a troubled expression.

On the other hand, Ao Yifan had actually already discovered that Ao Qian was following behind Yang Chan.

"Yo, Qian'er, have you been doing well these years?"

Ao Yifan naturally greeted Ao Qian.

"You've been coming back fewer times these years, and your mother often mentions you in front of me."

Upon hearing that, Ao Qian's face darkened.

Although he had known since childhood that his father was a bit unreliable.

After all, he wasn't Nezha, who would believe anything his father told him.

But Ao Qian never expected his own father to commit the act of stealing from his own post.

"Dad, does Aunt Yun Ying know about this?"

Ao Qian said.

"Well, I was about to bring Chan'er to see Yun Ying, and you just happened to run into us, didn't you?"

Ao Yifan said: "Right, go smooth things over with your uncle's side; after all, we're all family, don't let things get too stiff."

Upon hearing that, Ao Qian's little white face turned completely black.

"No way, the mess my father made has me, his son, cleaning it up."

Noticing Ao Qian's reaction, Ao Yifan said with a dejected look: "How come? Are you unwilling? If your younger brother Nezha were here, he'd surely gladly do this for me. Sigh, kids grow up and don't listen to their fathers anymore; I used to dote on you the most when you were little."

After hearing his father's words, Ao Qian's face grew even darker.

"Dad, the last time Nezha came to spar with me, he said you told him you loved him the most!"

"Cough cough"

Upon hearing that, Ao Yifan's expression became slightly hesitant and embarrassed.

"Oh? Is that so? Anyway, you're both your father's most beloved children; do you really think you've grown wings and can ignore your father's words?"

"I..."

In an instant, Ao Qian didn't know how to respond.

"Alright, that's it; handle things with your uncle's side, I'm taking Chan'er away, and you'll soon be an uncle yourself—cheer up."

After saying that, Ao Qian embraced Yang Chan and instantly vanished from the spot.

Watching the spot where his father disappeared, Ao Qian stood there dazed.

"Me? Become an uncle?"

Ao Qian shook his head helplessly.

According to Yang Chan's side, he was indeed going to become an uncle, but according to his father's side, it was as if he had gained another younger brother or sister.

And does he still lack younger brothers or sisters here?

"Forget it, I'll just be an uncle then!"

Although Ao Qian was a bit displeased with his uncle, he believed that being an uncle would certainly be far better than the August Jade Emperor.

"As for the Heavenly Court..."

Narrowing his eyes, Ao Qian waved his left hand, and the Illuminating World Lamp flew out at once.

Accompanied by the flickering candlelight, seven figures appeared in the flame.

They were precisely the Seven Brothers of Yuan Hong who had been subdued by Ao Qian using the Illuminating World Lamp back then.

"True Lord!"

The Seven Brothers of Yuan Hong cultivated within the Illuminating World Lamp, using its supreme treasure aura to cleanse their demonic fetuses and transform into immortal bodies.

Therefore, in the hearts of the seven brothers, Ao Qian owed them a great debt of re-creation.

"Grace"

Ao Qian looked at the seven, nodded satisfied, and said: "You seven have now accomplished your cultivation; right now, I have a task I need your help with—are you seven willing?"

"True Lord, without you, we seven would not exist; no matter what you wish to do, we seven will surely follow you unto death!"

Yuan Hong said with a determined expression.

The remaining six immediately echoed in agreement.

"Excellent!"

Ao Qian waved his right hand, and the Three-pointed Double-edged Blade flew out from his heavenly eye at once.

"Today, you seven will follow me to storm the Hall of the Imperial Heaven—I will cause a great uproar in the Heavenly Palace!"

Upon hearing that, the Seven Brothers of Yuan Hong trembled all over, as if they couldn't believe their own ears.

After all, Ao Qian is currently the Heavenly Court's divine judge of justice.

And the August Jade Emperor enthroned in the Hall of the Heavenly Clouds is Ao Qian's uncle.

Why would he want to attack the Hall of the Heavenly Clouds and still cause a great uproar in the Heavenly Palace?

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, a thought arose in the minds of the Seven Brothers of Yuan Hong.

"Plot to usurp the throne!"

"The nephew is dissatisfied with his uncle's rule over the heavenly realm, wants to kick him down, and take the Jade Emperor's throne for himself."

In an instant, all seven brothers' faces lit up with excitement—after all, this is the achievement of helping found a dynasty!

Although this sounds utterly absurd.

But the seven brothers know that Ao Qian's father is none other than the sage who launched the Divine-Slaying War back then.

As long as that sage stands behind him, Ao Qian's plot to usurp the throne is not without a chance of success.

The more they thought about it, the more excited the Seven Brothers of Plum Mountain became, and when they stormed the Southern Heaven Gate, they fought even more eagerly than Ao Qian himself.

This left Ao Bian dazed; after all, he had caused a havoc in Heavenly Palace merely to get Haotian Shangdi to withdraw the order to capture Yang Chan, not to lock horns with his maternal uncle to the bitter end.

No way; although he didn't want to admit it, Ao Bian also knew that, relying on the heavenly realm's fortune, even if he employed the divine ability 'Father's Aid', he could not possibly be a match for his maternal uncle.

All things considered, this havoc in Heavenly Palace was merely a formality, to get Haotian Shangdi to show an attitude.

But the Plum Mountain Seven Brothers were fighting so hard, Ao Bian also couldn't pour cold water on them.

Moreover, even if his maternal uncle later caused trouble, at worst he could suppress the Plum Mountain Seven Brothers beneath Plum Mountain for five hundred years, which would be a light punishment and a stern warning.

After all, out of respect for him, Haotian Shangdi could not possibly really kill the Plum Mountain Seven Brothers.

As for him, he would naturally continue as the Celestial Judge; at worst, he would take his maternal uncle's orders more seriously in the future.

In short, that day Ao Bian held the World-Illuminating Lamp in one hand and a three-pronged, double-edged blade in the other, leading the Plum Mountain Seven Brothers, who were fired up like they'd been injected with chicken blood, he broke through the Southern Heaven Gate and pressed on all the way to the Penglai East Road leading to the Hall of Soaring Heavens.

Finally, Ao Bian dueled Haotian Shangdi alone, fighting to the point where the sun and moon lost their light and heaven and earth changed colors.

You ask why only Ao Bian made it up to the Hall of Soaring Heavens?

That's because, before the Plum Mountain Seven Brothers could enter the Hall of Soaring Heavens, Tai Bai Jinxing slapped them unconscious with a single palm.

After all, in Tai Bai Jinxing's view, she was doing this to save those seven hot-blooded blockheads.

After all, Ao Bian could break into the Hall of Soaring Heavens because Haotian Shangdi is his maternal uncle, and more importantly, his father is a sage.

Even if he lost, it would amount to nothing more than a few reprimands.

If those seven blockheads managed to break into the Hall of Soaring Heavens, the offense would be much greater.

No matter what, she is also Ao Bian's maternal aunt; if there's anything she can help with in secret, she will lend a hand.

After all, she is a high-ranking official of the heavenly court; even if Haotian Shangdi noticed her little maneuvers, could he really blame her?

This battle between nephew and maternal uncle lasted three days and three nights.

But in the mortal realm, only three years had passed.

When the news of Ao Bian's havoc in Heavenly Palace spread to the mortal realm, Ne Zha, who was still training his younger siblings in Chen Tang Pass, could no longer sit still.

"No way, that Heavenly Palace—if that three-eyed brat can cause a ruckus, then I, Ne Zha, can too!"
