How to Handle the Chan Sect Disciples
After the Interception Sect members left, Haotian moved and also left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, heading straight for the Yaochi Immortal Realm.
Just now in the palace, he maintained the majesty and demeanor of the Heavenly Emperor, showing no emotion whatsoever.
But now, once he was out of the sight of the immortals and gods, he could no longer suppress his inner joy.
The moment they stepped into the Yaochi Immortal Realm, the long-suppressed, joyful laughter erupted.
"Hahaha! Good! Great!"
Laughter echoed within the vast expanse of the Jade Yaochi, filled with boundless comfort and joy.
Yaochi, who was tending to the fairy flowers by the pond, heard this undisguised laughter and slowly got up.
As she watched Haotian approach quickly, a genuine smile appeared on her beautiful and dignified face.
"Judging from His Your Majesty's expression, it seems he has reached an agreement with them."
Haotian's laughter gradually subsided, and he strode to Yaochi's side, his majestic face filled with excitement.
"Great! Everything's settled!"
"I have bestowed upon the Saint Mother Jinling the title of one of the Six Imperial Jade Masters, the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole!"
"She has agreed that from now on, all members of the Interception Sect will obey my commands!"
How could he not be happy?
Countless Eon passed since he ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor; when has he ever felt as at ease as he does today?
The Jie Sect Disciple, however, were to enter the Heavenly Court and obey his commands!
In exchange for a position as one of the Six Imperial Jade Masters, four Quasi-Sage and three Daluo Golden Immortal were given the right to obey him.
More importantly, it won over the powerful Jie Interception Sect.
This deal was incredibly profitable!
Yaochi was overjoyed to see Haotian's beaming face.
"Your Majesty's move was truly a stroke of genius."
"The disciples of the Interception Sect are all highly skilled and arrogant; ordinary official positions are simply not enough to win their loyalty."
"His Your Majesty, by assuming the position of one of the Six Imperial Jade Masters, has completely bound the interests of the Saint Mother Jinling to those of our Heavenly Court."
"In this way, the Jie Sect Disciple under her command will naturally become the most loyal allies of my Heavenly Court."
"With their addition, the strength of my Heavenly Court has increased by more than just a large margin."
Upon hearing this, Haotian's smile deepened.
"You, Yaochi, truly understand me."
He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing eastward at the churning sea of clouds—the direction of the Kunlun Mountain.
"The disciples of the Interception Sect have already arrived; the disciples of the Clarify Sect should be arriving soon as well."
When the Clarify Sect was mentioned, Haotian's words carried an undisguised hint of sarcasm and glee.
"Although the Clarify Sect is now mostly dead or has betrayed its members, leaving only Yun Zhongzi and some incompetent Third-generation disciples."
"But the thought of the disciples of the Yuanshi Tianzun coming to my Lingxiao Palace to bow down and submit to me is unbearable."
"I feel incredibly happy!"
He would never forget how Yuanshi Tianzun sent Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole to coerce him, treating him as nothing at all.
Now, his disciple is about to become a subject of the Jade Emperor, whom he despises.
What Heavenly Dao Reincarnation!
Haotian sneered and continued.
"What a pity, what a real pity."
"Both Guangchengzi and the Immortal Weng of the South Pole have perished."
"Otherwise, I would be even happier to see the two of them bowing to me in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall."
Seeing his state, Yaochi gently comforted him.
Why should Your Majesty worry about this?
"The Dao Ancestor has Imperial Edict that even if they are reincarnated and achieve success in their cultivation, they must still enter my Heavenly Court and await my command."
"They couldn't escape after all."
Haotian felt even more pleased after hearing this.
"Indeed, Yaochi, you are right. They will eventually come to serve as subjects of my Heavenly Court!"
Yaochi then changed the subject and asked softly.
"So, what are Your Majesty's plans for the disciples of the Clarify Sect?"
Mentioning this, Haotian's mockery deepened, and he already had a plan in mind.
"Yun Zhongzi was a man of simple tastes, indifferent to worldly affairs, and a breath of fresh air within the Clarify Sect."
"I don't intend to make things difficult for him. I'll give him a sinecure and find him a blessed mountain in the heavenly Heavenly Court so he can stay there peacefully."
Haotian didn't have much ill will towards Yun Zhongzi.
But he wasn't so polite to others.
"As for the remaining Third-generation disciples of the Clarify Sect, hmph, send them all to be Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and generals to patrol the South Heaven Gate!"
Once the most outstanding Clarify Sect for Third Generation Prodigy, and a high-ranking Saint, he has now been reduced to a lowly gatekeeper.
This huge disparity in their social status is the greatest humiliation for them.
Upon hearing this, Yaochi smiled gently.
She knew that Heavenly Heart been holding back his anger for far too long.
"What about Guangchengzi and the others?"
The smile on Haotian's face turned incredibly playful at that moment.
"After they are reincarnated and return to Heavenly Court, I will arrange for them all to work under the Saint Mother Jinling."
Imagine that scene.
"The Golden Immortal of the former Clarify Sect must now obey the commands of the Jie Sect Disciple; their former mortal enemies have become their superiors."
"Their expressions then will be hilarious, hahaha!"
"I'd really like to see what happens when Yuanshi Tianzun learns that his most valued disciple is serving as a slave to the Jie Sect Disciple."
"What a spectacular sight it will be!"
The Holy Mother Yaochi listened quietly until Haotian's laughter subsided, at which point she slowly nodded, her phoenix eyes filled with approval.
"His Your Majesty's handling of the situation was excellent."
She knew in her heart that Haotian's actions, which seemed like a childish act of revenge, actually contained a deeper meaning.
Placing the Chan Sect Disciple under the Jie Sect Disciple would not only cause them to restrain each other and engage in endless infighting, but also...
This would completely eliminate any possibility of the two religions secretly collaborating.
From then on, they could only be subjects of the Heavenly Court, fighting each other for their respective power and status.
Haotian, on the other hand, can sit high atop the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, calmly controlling everything.
In fact, they didn't have much of a problem with the disciples of the Clarify Sect.
Those Chan Sect Disciple were nothing more than pawns in their eyes.
What they truly resented was That One high and Yuanshi Tianzun who regarded them as mere ants.
However, Primordial Lord is Saint, immortal and indestructible, and they cannot harm him at all.
Since he could not avenge himself against the culprit, he could only vent his endless resentment on his disciples.
All they could do was vent their Eon resentment by humiliating his disciples.
This... is also the tragedy of the weak.
