Chapter 386

"Don't hit! Don't hit!"

"Who are you people?"

"Let go of my brother quickly!"

A round of punching and kicking, accompanied by a flurry of chaos, Gu Qing and the lecherous Daoist priest were pulled apart. The man and woman who rushed up had unfamiliar faces, but Gu Qing recognized Yang Tianyou on the side.

"So, this is Yang Jiao?"

Gu Qing pointed at the round-faced, bearded man and said.

Yang Tianyou showed a bitter look and said, "When my wife left, she cast a spell on them, letting them reach adulthood a step early."

The fusion of human and god is not tolerated by heaven.

Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji gave up staying together, just wanting the next generation to be safe and healthy.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan were already adults at this time. Among them, Yang Jian was naturally heroic and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing, while the adult Yang Chan had a quiet spirit and jade bones and flower soul, making her an even more top-tier beauty.

"I was just curious about what they were talking about, and they hit me as soon as they came up."

Yang Jiao covered his face, feeling very aggrieved. He was born with strong tendons and bones and loved to exercise his body. As he grew older, his hair became thick, which was something he couldn't help, but it just happened to make people have prejudices.

He was just a simple young man.

"Didn't talk about anything."

Gu Qing and the lecherous Daoist priest shook their heads together.

"Sir, you brought back my son back then, a deep kindness. At that time, my family left in a hurry and I haven't asked for your name yet."

Yang Tianyou was originally a poor scholar, but after being a couple with Yao Ji for ten years, his demeanor also carried a bit of elegance, looking both dashing and steady.

"A wandering person, Gu Qing."

Gu Qing reported the name of a wandering person.

The lecherous Daoist priest looked at Gu Qing. He had a photographic memory and had read many classics. In these classics, there was no record of the wandering person Gu Qing. Therefore, he suspected that this name was fake.

"So it's Mr. Gu."

Yang Tianyou addressed him and looked at the lecherous Daoist priest beside him.

"I am Master Yuding of the Golden Glow Cave on Mount Yuquan!"

The lecherous Daoist priest held his fan high and reported his name.

As soon as this name came out, the eyes of Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan beside him all lit up, and they called out in unison, "You are one of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect!"

Master Yuding shook his fan lightly, very satisfied that his name could shock everyone.

"Please, Master, take us as disciples!"

Yang Jiao and Yang Jian knelt down together and hugged Master Yuding's thigh.

When Yao Ji left, she told them all the names of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect. Now the three Yang brothers were just waiting for seven years later, when the immortals of the Chan Sect would come out of seclusion to take them as disciples. They didn't expect to run into a wild Twelve Immortal directly on Mount Hua.

"Please, Master."

Yang Jian said with tears, "For our safety, my mother went to the Weng Tianjie, and her life or death is unknown. We have shallow magic power now and no way to save our mother. I want you, Master, to take us as disciples so we can be reunited as a family."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Master Yuding shook his feather fan lightly, indicating that everything was under control, and then asked for the name of Yang Jian's mother to see if he could use Master Yuding's name to save her.

"My mother is Yao Ji."

Yang Jian said.

Master Yuding loosened his feather fan, feeling that he had gotten into trouble.

The Jade Emperor is the master of the Three Realms, and Yao Ji is the Jade Emperor's sister. Offending such a deity could be said to have endless future troubles. He lowered his head and looked at the hopeful eyes of Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan. Master Yuding pinched his beard in distress and said, "As long as you can walk on foot to the Golden Glow Cave on Mount Yuquan, I will take you as disciples."

Hearing this, the three members of the Yang family were all happy and hurriedly kowtowed to Master Yuding.

This walking on foot was considered a test of their mental state before they cultivated immortality.

"Let's go, let's go."

Master Yuding shook his fan, like a moth, and ran hurriedly toward the bottom of Mount Hua.

"Mr. Gu."

Yang Tianyou's words carried a bit of verification as he asked, "Can they really learn skills when they get to Master Yuding?"

"You can rest assured."

Gu Qing said. In this *Lotus Lantern* world, Master Yuding is a top-notch famous teacher, it's just that before taking them as disciples, Yang Jian needs to suffer a bit.

Afterward, Gu Qing thought of Yang Jian's suffering before taking a master, suffering after taking a master, suffering in the Great War of Investiture, and suffering during the Journey to the West. He could keep suffering until he cultivated his nephew into a talent, and then he would be out of the sea of suffering.

With such a dutiful uncle, it would be unreasonable not to soak his sister!

"A sharp sword is honed from sharpening."

Gu Qing said to Yang, "As long as they can pass the test, your good days will come."

The Yang family, Yang Chan holding the Lotus Lantern, Yang Jian as the first war general of the Heavenly Court, plus a Yang Jiao who had achieved success in cultivation, and Yao Ji, this female war god of the Weng Tianjie, could be said to have a solid foundation. Yang Tianyou's good days were all ahead.

Gu Qing thought of Master Yuding going down the mountain, said goodbye to Yang Tianyou, scanned with his divine sense, leaped, turned into light, and came before Master Yuding.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this method, Master Yuding asked with a bit of timidity.

Gu Qing had previously said he suspected he was a gay man, but Master Yuding thought about it afterward. Gu Qing first said things like "protecting the man," and then said such things to him, making Master Yuding feel that Gu Qing was testing his orientation.

"This Daoist is devoted to the Dao..."

Master Yuding didn't have these messy thoughts.

"The immortals of the Chan Sect are all in seclusion. It's not easy to run into one, I just want to discuss the Dao with you."

Gu Qing didn't think so much. He intercepted Master Yuding just to get Master Yuding's secret manuals.

"Discuss the Dao, discuss what?"

Master Yuding was even more evasive on this issue.

"Just discuss it casually."

Gu Qing looked at Master Yuding and said, "You say some things, I say some things, perhaps we can both learn from each other."

Gu Qing really wanted to explode things from Master Yuding's hands.

"The things in the Jade Void Palace are not allowed to be spoken of randomly."

Master Yuding said in a dilemma.

"Then let's talk about things that can be spoken of randomly."

Gu Qing wanted to open Master Yuding's chatterbox first. "Things that can be spoken of..."

Master Yuding said in distress, "Because I only know how to recite books, I don't know what can be said and what cannot be said at all."

"Then..."

Gu Qing was about to communicate well with Master Yuding, when suddenly he heard thunder ringing above the Heavenly Court. In the clouds, there were shadows, all of them were human figures. Seeing this formation, Yang Tianyou's family on Mount Hua all turned pale, feeling that they would be captured today. But after Gu Qing's gaze cast upward, passing through layers of clouds, he saw Nezha wearing armor, stepping on Wind and Fire Wheels, holding a Fire-Tipped Spear, fighting back and forth with a fat man.

"Third Prince Nezha."

Seeing Nezha already surrounded, Marshal Tianpeng fighting with Nezha, and the surrounding heavenly soldiers and generals all setting up formations, letting Nezha break through several times without being able to jump out, Gu Qing saw it.

"You have old ties with him, then go save him quickly."

Master Taiyi felt he couldn't talk about the immortal Dao, so he hurriedly said.

Marshal Tianpeng...

Gu Qing looked at that fat figure, really didn't talk too much nonsense with Master Yuding, leaped, turned into golden light, and in an instant rushed into the sky. Watching Marshal Tianpeng's Nine-Toothed Rake fighting with Nezha, and the surrounding heavenly soldiers and generals pressing in, Nezha was also at a critical moment. Suddenly his figure flashed urgently, his fists ignited, splitting hundreds of weapons, carrying infinite power, and blasted toward Marshal Tianpeng with all his might!

Marshal Tianpeng was one of the few war generals in this Heavenly Court. This matter of besieging Nezha suddenly had a change. Marshal Tianpeng also went all out, using the rake in his hand to resist Gu Qing's fist.

"Clang!"

Above the Heavenly Court, it sounded like a thunderclap. Gu Qing's fist came out without a shadow, and the fist momentum was like thunder and lightning moving. Facing Marshal Tianpeng, Gu Qing didn't choose any fancy methods. His fist was flat and straight, blasting repeatedly at Marshal Tianpeng's rake. Marshal Tianpeng held the rake, raised his hand to block, and felt that the opponent's speed was extremely fast. The series of blasts came at the rake, and although the offensive was like a storm, the person seemed to have no ill intent.

"Hey!"

Marshal Tianpeng's rake linked, using powerful force, suddenly flipped in a disadvantageous position, pressing down hard toward Gu Qing.

Where the rake fell, a black and white vortex was produced. Gu Qing's figure jumped out of the vortex, flames in his hand formed a seal, and he blasted fiercely toward Marshal Tianpeng's belly!

"Boom..."

Marshal Tianpeng's massive body retreated repeatedly. Nezha took this opportunity, his Fire-Tipped Spear propped up, picking away the siege around him, and stood with Gu Qing.

Both sides temporarily stopped at this time. Gu Qing and Nezha stood in the encirclement, calm and composed, while Marshal Tianpeng and General Juan Lian were panting, calling for the heavenly soldiers and generals to set up formations quickly to avoid the two escaping, and then felt the Nine-Toothed Rake was rolling hot and hard to hold, almost falling out of their hands.

"What's going on?"

Gu Qing asked Nezha, saying, "How could Marshal Tianpeng catch you?"

Marshal Tianpeng was clearly going down to the mortal world to catch Yao Ji.

"It's all that old dragon's fault."

Nezha said unhappily, "I didn't lie to him, I just beat him up. Who knew it happened to be seen by the Golden Crow. They had many people, so I ran out of the Weng Tianjie, and then these people turned back."

Nezha pointed at the Jade Emperor and snatched flat peaches, which was also a great crime in the Heavenly Court. After the people in the Heavenly Court discovered it, after Nezha broke out of the South Tianmen, they beat the war drums, and Marshal Tianpeng turned back to crusade.

As for the ten Golden Crows, before Hou Yi's arrow was investigated, they wouldn't take a step out of the South Tianmen.

"So that's it."

Gu Qing went through the cause in his mind and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"

Nezha nodded repeatedly. Now that the great disaster had been caused, Nezha could only go find his master and let his master cover him.

"Alright!"

Gu Qing leaned into Nezha's ear and said, "Then you take someone along the way." Among the three Yang siblings, Yang Chan's fortune was with Master Taiyi. Because of Gu Qing, although Nezha didn't rob the execution ground in the Heavenly Court, he could still take Yang Chan to Master Taiyi.

"Bold demon!"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Gu Qing and Nezha and said in a scene-setting way, "You disturbed the Heavenly Court, your crime is unforgivable. Report your names quickly and surrender."

Gu Qing reached out and covered Nezha's mouth, not letting Nezha be quick-tongued and leak his background. Instead, he circulated his methods. In an instant, his whole body was like fire, and the True Essence of the Sun spread outward. The heavenly soldiers and generals who were setting up formations felt a burst of heat. Marshal Tianpeng, who was facing Gu Qing, also had sweat flowing on his face.

"Who do you say I am?"

Gu Qing asked Marshal Tianpeng with a smile.

Marshal Tianpeng was dumbfounded... How is this possible?

At this very moment, this battle was not only watched by people underground, but the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in the Heavenly Court were also in front of the South Tianmen, watching the situation. After seeing Gu Qing emitting the True Fire of the Sun, they all had surprised expressions, looking at the Jade Emperor in the middle one after another.

The ten Golden Crows of the Heavenly Court were all there. This one who suddenly popped out could only be made up from the Jade Emperor.

"This is impossible."

The Jade Emperor rubbed his chin, feeling very incredible, and said, "Could it be that some great power is playing a joke on me?"

The Seventh Princess was behind, quietly giving the Jade Emperor a sideways glance... Keep pretending!

"Marshal Tianpeng!"

Gu Qing called out, "Watch my Five-Wheel Leaving Fire Method!" While speaking, Gu Qing's Sun True Essence circulated, and the sunlight and vitality in the sky gathered rolling. Marshal Tianpeng watched Gu Qing's fist shake, and there were shapes of wolves, leopards, lions, tigers, and dragons in his hand. Then, groups of flames condensed, turned into shapes, and came to bite toward Marshal Tianpeng.

This True Fire of the Sun was originally a top-notch flame in the world. Marshal Tianpeng didn't even want to touch the things condensed by Gu Qing's fist momentum, and retreated repeatedly with General Juan Lian.

The Sucking Power Method in *The World's Number One* could manipulate dead objects. Gu Qing condensed it into true Qi, and now it turned into immortal essence. With a single thought, the true essence flowed, each with its own momentum, making Marshal Tianpeng in the middle unable to cope, resisting together with General Juan Lian. And then he saw the flames condense, and Gu Qing's whole body turned into golden light, crashing toward Marshal Tianpeng!

Seeing this, Marshal Tianpeng held the rake tightly with both hands, and his body suddenly began to grow huge... In *Lotus Lantern*, although this one often slacked off, that was mostly facing the Yang family. In Marshal Tianpeng's view, Gu Qing and Nezha had no ties with him, so he naturally went all out at this time.

"Boom!"

Gu Qing's golden light crashed into Marshal Tianpeng's body. In an instant, the clouds scattered, and light was born in the air.

"Don't think you can run away!"

Marshal Tianpeng looked fiercely at Gu Qing and Nezha. He was going down to the mortal world this time to capture the Yang family, and if he could make contributions in this matter, perhaps he could forgive Yao Ji's crime, so he went all out.

Gu Qing looked at Marshal Tianpeng's face and couldn't help but reveal a trace of apology.

You are apologizing?

Just as Marshal Tianpeng was unable to figure it out, the front suddenly burst open. The indescribable massive force made his body roll uncontrollably in the clouds. General Juan Lian and all the heavenly soldiers and generals scattered and flew. Marshal Tianpeng's gaze in the air saw a cluster of brilliant golden light, and the bursting light almost occupied the entire firmament.

"Boom..."

Mount Hua shook.

The South Tianmen shook.

"Sun Golden Carriage?"

The Jade Emperor's face was as gloomy as water.

"So it was him!"

Master Yuding put his hands together at this time and said excitedly, "So it was this wandering person!"

"Which wandering person are you talking about?"

Beside Master Yuding, the fox demon Fifth Brother crawled out and asked tentatively. He had his whole body's tendons and bones broken by Gu Qing and was healing, waiting for recovery before going to the Jie Sect to learn skills. At this time, he also saw the movement in the sky and heard Master Yuding's words, feeling that there was some incredible secret, so he asked.

Master Yuding gave the fox demon a sideways glance and said indifferently, "Of course it's Lu Ya. Besides him, who else can make this kind of movement?"
