Haotian visited the Human Clan, seeking Houtu to preside over the Heavenly Court

Huoyun Cave.

Auspicious clouds swirl around, and auspicious energy rises.

But the atmosphere deep inside the Cave Abode was heavy.

Haotian, dressed in imperial robes, appeared in the Cave Abode with a gloomy expression.

Opposite him, several ancestors of the Human Clan, including Wu, Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan, were already waiting.

"Fellow Daoist Haotian, please have a seat." Wu gestured with his hand.

"Fellow Daoists, Haotian... has arrived uninvited."

Looking at his appearance, Wu had already guessed what was going on and sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Haotian, there's no need for such politeness."

"Fellow Daoist, have you come here regarding Princess Yaoji?"

Haotian gave a self-deprecating laugh, a laugh filled with bitterness and anger.

"Good."

"I have already imprisoned Yaoji beneath Peach Mountain."

Xuanyuan raised an eyebrow. "Suppressed? You're willing to do that?"

Haotian gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth, a smile that was more painful than a grimace.

"Whether I'm willing to part with it or not is not for me to decide."

Without wasting any words, he directly recounted everything that had happened in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

From the arrival of Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole, to how they used Yuanshi Tianzun and Dao Ancestor Hongjun to pressure him.

Then, how they gradually pushed Yaoji into the abyss, and finally imprisoned her forever on Peach Mountain.

His narration was calm, but everyone Huoyun Cave could sense the calm beneath.

What a terrifying torrent of fury it was suppressing!

Shennong frowned and shook his head repeatedly.

"A disciple of Saint acts so domineeringly and without any moral compass; this is no blessing for the Three Realms."

In Suiren's eyes, rage burned.

"This isn't upholding the Heavenly Rules; it's clearly using this as an excuse to utterly trample on your dignity, Fellow Daoist Haotian!"

Fuxi shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

"Saint Primordial Lord, this action... has indeed gone too far."

Only Wu remained expressionless from beginning to end.

He simply listened quietly, without any fluctuation of his aura, like an ancient, unmoving statue.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Haotian felt a little less humiliated.

That's the attitude he wants.

"The humiliation I suffered today is a minor matter."

"But Yaoji... is my sister. I cannot stand by and watch her be imprisoned under Peach Mountain for eternity, suffering endless torment."

"I have come here today to ask you fellow Daoists a question."

"Could you... lend me a hand and rescue Yaoji?"

A brief silence fell over the main hall.

After a moment, Fuxi spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Haotian, we are naturally willing to assist in this matter."

"But... it's not convenient for us to take direct action."

"The matter of Yaoji is, after all, a matter of the Heavenly Court."

"Without a suitable reason, if we intervene directly, we will be acting without a legitimate cause."

"At that point, things will only escalate and become even more uncontrollable."

Upon hearing this, Haotian frowned.

He had naturally thought of that as well.

But if the Human Clan doesn't intervene, who else in the Three Realms can help him?

Just as Heavenly Heart disappointed, Wu's calm voice rang out.

"We cannot act, but... someone can."

"Who?" Haotian suddenly raised his head.

Haotian suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu.

Wu's gaze then turned to the other side of the Cave Abode.

There, the three siblings, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan, were quietly cultivating.

"Them?"

Haotian instantly understood Wu's meaning, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist...?"

Wu spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but firm and resolute.

"As a son, unable to bear seeing his mother suffer eternal oppression, he angrily split the mountain to save her."

Is this reason sufficient?

Upon hearing this, Haotian felt a sudden sense of clarity dawning upon him!

Yes!

It is a child's duty to save his mother!

This reason is absolutely perfect!

Who can say that, within the Three Realms, it is a sin for children to save their mother?

The gloom in Heavenly Eye was instantly replaced by a ray of light.

"Excellent! What a brilliant act of splitting the mountain to save one's mother!"

"Fellow Daoist, this plan is brilliant!" Haotian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"This plan is good, but... those three children's cultivation is still too shallow."

"To possess the power to split Peach Mountain, who knows when that will be?"

"During this time, Yaoji will have to suffer... at the foot of Peach Mountain."

Wu sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

At this point, this is the only way.

This is already the best solution.

Haotian took a deep breath and nodded.

"Good!"

"We will follow your advice, fellow Daoist!"

"I have another concern."

Even if the three siblings successfully rescued Yaoji.

"But... given Primordial Lord's temperament, he will never let this go so easily."

"He will definitely use this as an excuse to launch another attack."

Haotian's voice turned cold.

"At that time, he will probably punish not only Yaoji, but also Yang Jian and his two children!"

"I cannot allow Yaoji to escape her suffering only to plunge her children into danger again."

"Therefore, we must prepare in advance in case Primordial Lord launches an attack!"

Fuxi nodded, agreeing with Haotian's concerns.

"What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist."

"I wonder, what are your thoughts, fellow Daoist?"

A glint of light flashed in Heavenly Eye.

"I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Fuxi to go to the Empress Wa's Palace and request a favor from the Nuwa."

"If she were to step in, she could plead for Yaoji and the children at a crucial moment."

Even if Primordial Lord is domineering, he still has to give Nuwa some face.

Fuxi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Can."

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Fuxi!" Haotian bowed solemnly to Fuxi.

Having received Fuxi's affirmative reply, Heavenly Heart somewhat relieved.

With a Saint as their backer, they felt much more confident.

But that's not enough.

A Saint might make Primordial Lord wary, but he might not be able to make him completely stop.

Haotian paused, then turned his gaze to Wu.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Hongyun is currently in the Huoyun Cave?"

Wu shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun went to the Pangu Hall some time ago, and I'm afraid he won't be returning anytime soon."

"You're looking for Fellow Daoist Hongyun, is there something else important you need to discuss?"

"I originally intended to invite Fellow Daoist Hongyun to accompany me to pay a visit to Sage Zhou Ming."

"I'd like to ask for his help. While Yang Jiao and the others are rescuing my mother, could you perhaps have Empress Houtu... go to the Heavenly Court to oversee things for a while?"

"As one of the Six Imperial Jade Masters of Heavenly Court, it is perfectly legitimate for Empress Houtu to go to Heavenly Court to oversee things, and no one can say anything about it."

"At that time, the Empress Houtu will be in charge of the Heavenly Court."

"Outside the Heavenly Court, the Nuwa spoke up to intercede."

"With the combined power of the two saints! I don't believe that Yuanshi Tianzun would dare to risk offending two Saint at the same time and attack Yaoji and the children again!"

Using Saint to suppress Saint?

Wu looked at Haotian and said in a deep voice.

"Although Fellow Daoist Hongyun is not here, I can act on his behalf in this matter."

"I'll go with you to see Sage Zhou Ming!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian was overjoyed!

"Good!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Wu!"

He looked at Wu and nodded solemnly.

"Let's not delay, let's set off now!"
