Going Too Far! Chan Sect Forces Haotian's Hand!

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on a cloud bed, his Surrounding Body exuding a profound and majestic Dao Rhyme, as if he were one with the entire world.

Two Dao Body stood respectfully before him, namely Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole.

"Guangchengzi, Nanjixian Weng."

"Disciple is here."

Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole bowed and responded.

"You two, go to the Heavenly Court."

"The matter of Yaoji has been announced to the Three Realms, Haotian will soon begin the trial."

"You are to go on my behalf... to observe the trial."

Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi's heart stirred, and he cautiously asked.

"Master, I wonder if my trip is merely a formality, or..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already very clear.

Should we save Haotian some face, or... completely break off relations?

Primordial Lord looked at Guangchengzi, his voice turning cold.

"Yaoji had an affair with a mortal and bore him a child, which violated the Heavenly Laws and shook the order of the Three Realms."

"Such a heinous crime cannot be lightly forgiven."

"How can Haotian, as the Heavenly Emperor, rule the Heavenly Court if he even bends the law for his own sister?"

"Moreover, once this precedent is set, the Heavenly Rules will become meaningless!"

"You are going there to tell him that there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter."

"We must severely punish and strictly enforce the law to give an explanation to all sentient beings in the Three Realms!"

"We can't give him any chance to cover this up."

Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole were startled, instantly understanding their master's meaning.

This is a complete breakdown in relations, leaving Haotian no room for maneuver.

"Disciple understands."

The two dared not ask any further questions and bowed in unison to accept the order.

"Go."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand.

"Yes."

Without daring to delay, the two transformed into two streaks of light and sped straight towards the Heavenly Court beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Heavenly Court.

The Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Haotian sat on the Emperor Throne, Surrounding Body Emperor's Might emanating from him, yet he could not conceal the trace of irritability and gloom between his brows.

Yaochi sat beside him, a lingering worry between her brows.

"Senior brother, judging by the time, Taibai should be returning with Yaoji soon."

"What... do you plan to do with Yaoji?"

Haotian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart.

This matter cannot be delayed.

"This must be resolved as quickly as possible; a swift and decisive solution is needed!"

He looked at Yaochi and revealed his plans.

"Once Taibai Jinxing returns, the trial will begin immediately."

"Although Yaoji committed a grave mistake, she was ultimately seduced by Yang Tianyou."

"Now that the culprit Yang Tianyou has been executed, although she cannot escape punishment, she can be given a lighter sentence."

"Then... she was thrown into the Heavenly Prison and imprisoned for ten thousand years, as a warning to others."

This was the best outcome Haotian could have come up with.

This gives the Three Realms an explanation.

This would also ensure Yaoji's safety to the greatest extent possible.

"As long as we quickly resolve this case and announce it to the Three Realms, once the storm has passed, this matter... will be considered over."

Yaochi nodded, agreeing with Haotian's proposed solution.

This is undoubtedly the best solution at present.

Imprisonment for eternity.

For immortals, it's nothing more than a snap of the fingers.

Just as the two had reached an agreement and were quietly waiting for Taibai Jinxing to return.

A celestial soldier rushed in.

"Your Majesty, Your Ladyship!"

"The Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole request an audience at the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain!"

Boom!

Upon hearing this statement...

Haotian's expression, which had just eased slightly, instantly darkened again.

Guangchengzi? Immortal Weng of the South Pole?

These two people are up to no good!

An ominous premonition instantly enveloped Haotian's heart.

His worst fears came true.

Primordial Lord had no intention of giving him that respect at all!

Yaochi's delicate body trembled, and she looked at Haotian in disbelief.

"Senior brother, That One... really intend to go to such extremes?"

This is outrageous!

Haotian could no longer suppress his anger and slammed his fist on the table in front of him!

"This is outrageous!"

"I have compromised to this extent! I have even thrown my dignity to the ground to be trampled upon!"

"He still won't let Yaoji go! He still won't let me go!"

Does he really think I'm made of clay?

"Does he think that I can't do anything to him?"

Yaochi looked at the enraged Haotian, and was both shocked and furious.

She stepped forward and grabbed Haotian's sleeve.

"Senior brother, what... what should we do now?"

Haotian's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were blazing with fury.

After a moment, he forced himself to calm down.

"Let's meet them first."

"I want to see what this Yuanshi Tianzun really wants!"

He coldly gave the order to the outside of the hall.

"Let them in!"

Soon, Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole entered the Lingxiao Treasure Hall one after the other.

"This humble Daoist priest, Guangchengzi (Nanjixian Weng), greets Your Majesty and Your Ladyship."

The two men gave a perfunctory bow to the direction above.

Haotian sat on the imperial throne, coldly watching them.

"Why do you two, instead of cultivating in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain, come to my humble Heavenly Court? What brings you here?"

These words already carried a hint of questioning.

Guangchengzi seemed oblivious to the dissatisfaction in Haotian's words and smiled slightly.

"We two have come here on the orders of our master."

"Having heard that Your Majesty is about to try Princess Yaoji, my master specifically ordered the two of us to come and observe the trial."

"Listen in?"

Haotian sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The matter of Yaoji is a matter for my Heavenly Court, and I will make a fair judgment."

"Gentlemen, don't you think you're meddling too much?"

Faced with Haotian's questioning, Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole exchanged a glance, their faces still bearing that composed smile.

Your Majesty is mistaken.

"As Heavenly Dao Saint, my master has the responsibility to educate the Three Realms and uphold the Heavenly Rules; this is his duty."

"Moreover, back in the In Purple Sky Palace, the Dao Ancestor also made it clear that my master should provide more assistance to His Your Majesty in ruling the Heavenly Court and jointly governing the Primordial Wilderness."

"Princess Yaoji has now violated the Heavenly Rules and shaken the order of the Three Realms; this matter has far-reaching consequences."

"My master sent us here to remind His Your Majesty."

"Do not let brotherly and sisterly affection cloud your judgment, lest you betray the Dao Ancestor's expectations and disrupt the laws of heaven and earth."

They addressed him as "Master" and "Dao Ancestor" repeatedly.

Every word, though veiled as a threat, is filled with coercion!

Upon hearing this, Haotian abruptly stood up from his throne and looked down at the two of them.

"I have said I know what I'm doing!"

"There's no need for you two to trouble yourselves, much less for the Saint Primordial Lord to fuss over this!"

"Please leave, gentlemen!"

This is already a blatant invitation to leave.

However, Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole seemed not to hear them and remained standing in the same spot, not moving an inch.

Guangchengzi still wore that fake smile.

"Your Majesty, we two are here on our Master's orders."

"We dare not disobey Master's Imperial Edict."

"If we return now, we will be unable to explain ourselves to our master. We beg Your Majesty not to make things difficult for us."

"Making things difficult for you?" Haotian laughed angrily.

"It is you who are making things difficult for me!"

"Your Majesty calm your anger," said the Immortal Weng of the South Pole.

"Your Majesty, our Master takes this matter very seriously; it concerns the dignity of Heavenly Rules, and we dare not disobey."

"If His Your Majesty insists on this, we have no choice but to return and report the truth to our master."

"At that point, it probably won't be as simple as just the two of us sitting in on the conversation."

This is a blatant threat!

Use Saint to suppress this Heavenly Emperor!

Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Are you threatening me?

Guangchengzi shook his head.

"We wouldn't dare. We were merely following orders."

"My master said that the Heavenly Rules are as ironclad as nails. As the ruler of Heavenly Court, Your Majesty should set an example."

"If Your Majesty can even protect your own sister, how will you command respect in the future? How will you uphold the Heavenly Laws?"

"At that time, I'm afraid not only my master, but all living beings in the Three Realms will have some complaints about His Your Majesty."

"You!"

Haotian suddenly stood up from his Emperor Throne, his boundless rage transforming into a tangible killing intent that locked onto the two of them.

The atmosphere in the main hall froze instantly!

However, Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole remained calm.

They are disciples of Saint.

They didn't believe that Haotian would dare to actually attack them here.

a long time.

The killing intent emanating from Haotian slowly subsided.

He sat back on the Emperor Throne, his face filled with exhaustion and humiliation.

He really wanted to disregard everything and suppress these two bullies on the spot!

But... he can't.

If he were to take action, he would be openly making an enemy of the Saint!

At that point, things will only get more out of control.

Primordial Lord!

I will remember this humiliation!

After a long silence, Haotian finally spoke slowly.

"Good..."

"Very good."

"Since you two wish to hear, then... you may stay."

Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole exchanged a glance, a victorious smile appearing on their faces.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Just then...

The sound of heavenly soldiers reporting came again from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty! Taibai Jinxing has escorted Princess Yaoji to the Heavenly Court and is waiting outside the palace!"

Guangchengzi couldn't wait to speak.

"Your Majesty, since Princess Yaoji has already been brought back to the Heavenly Court..."

"There is no time to lose; Your Majesty, please begin the trial immediately!"

The Immortal Weng of the South Pole also chimed in from the side.

"A swift resolution will restore justice to the Three Realms and uphold the majesty of the Heavenly Court."

They sang in unison, giving Haotian no chance to catch his breath or delay.

Haotian suddenly opened his eyes, his icy gaze sweeping over Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole.

He snorted coldly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

"Issue my decree!"

"Bring Yaoji up here!"
