Yao Ji turned into fairy light and returned to South Heaven Gate with a heavy heart.
When the gatekeeper saw that it was her, although he felt that her breath was a little unstable and her expression was strange, due to her identity, she did not ask any questions and respectfully let her go.
Yao Ji went straight to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. She knew that this matter could not be concealed and there was no need to conceal it.
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Haotian Shangdi was discussing important matters with several immortals. When he saw Yao Ji returning with a hint of exhaustion and panic in his expression, he could not help but frown slightly and waved his hand to retreat.
"Yao Ji, why are you in such a hurry? Why is your breath so disordered?"
Haotian's voice was calm and concerned, but there was an imperceptible sharpness in those deep eyes.
He has been in charge of Heavenly Court for a long time and has an extremely keen sense of energy. The abnormality in his sister is by no means a trivial matter.
Yao Ji knelt on the ground and stole Dragon Pearl from Three-Headed Divine Flood Dragon, the fourth level of the Desire Realm. He was forced to hunt down in the lower realm and almost suffered a disaster. Fortunately, Great Emperor Gouchen Kong Xuan rescued him in time. He explained everything exactly.
She concealed the details of her uneasiness and did not mention her injury. She only emphasized that the situation was urgent and she had to do it as a last resort.
"Kong Xuan His Majesty captured the monster dragon and returned to heaven first. My sister came here to plead guilty to my brother, and went down to the world privately to accept the punishment."
Yao Ji lowered his head, his voice carrying a hint of fear and grievance.
Haotian listened quietly, with no joy or anger on his face, but the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, as if there was invisible pressure permeating the air.
His fingers gently tapped the armrest of the throne, making regular soft sounds, each sound hitting Yao Ji's heart.
"Three-Headed Divine Flood Dragon... has been suppressed for many years and has been tamed for a long time. Why did you suddenly attack and still accurately grasp the gaps in your inspection?"
Haotian spoke slowly, his voice was calm, but it contained the repression before the storm.
"Swallowing Dragon Pearl, my strength skyrocketed to the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and I could even almost hurt you...Yao Ji, you are my sister. Although your cultivation is not top-notch, you are also extraordinary and invincible to monsters. What's more coincidental is that Kong Xuan happened to pass by and saved you in time..."
He didn't say any more, but the lingering sounds echoing in the hall made Yao Ji tremble all over, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Brother, you mean... someone is plotting against you?"
"Could it be His Majesty Kong Xuan?"
Haotian's eyes were like lightning, sweeping across the sea of clouds outside the hall, as if penetrating the endless void and landing in the distant west.
"No, Kong Xuan is Immortal Venerable Qing Xuan's person. He has a harmonious relationship with me, Heavenly Court. It's definitely not him. It's him who saved you by chance and broke his plan."
Yao Ji was relieved after hearing this.
"I am in charge of Heavenly Court and rule the three realms. I seem to be respected, but in fact I am walking on thin ice. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this Heavenly Court authority and staring at me, the emperor of heaven who was appointed by Dao Ancestor!"
Haotian's voice turned cold, with a hint of imperial majesty and anger.
"Human Race Destiny is solid and difficult to interfere with. My Heavenly Court has been getting better and better in recent years. Is there anyone who can't sit still? You want to use my relatives as a breakthrough point to mess up my mind and damage the majesty of Heavenly Court... It's a good plan. It's really a good plan!"
He almost instantly focused his suspicion on Two Sages of the West!
Although Primordial Heavenly Venerate had some disagreements with him, he still acted in a dignified manner, and Chan Teachings had made profits by integrating with Human Race.
Only the two in the West do everything possible and do whatever it takes to get good luck. They have been repeatedly frustrated in Human Race before, so it makes sense for them to turn their attention to Heavenly Court!
"They want to use this matter to cause turmoil in Heavenly Court. It would be best if they can create a rift between me and you, or force me to punish you severely, so as to weaken our close relationship; or make you feel resentful towards Heavenly Court, or even... induce you to violate even greater heavenly rules!"
Haotian's eyes returned to Yao Ji, with a hint of complexity.
"Yao Ji, have you often felt restless recently and longed for the mortal world?"
Yao Ji turned pale, bit his lip, and finally nodded slightly.
"My sister... I do feel this way."
"As expected!"
Haotian snorted coldly.
"Subtle and disturbing the mind are the usual tricks of those two! This Three-Headed Divine Flood Dragon incident is probably just a part of their plan, which is intended to lead you to the lower world. There must be a plan later!"
Yao Ji was frightened when she heard this. Although she was naive, she was not stupid. After some advice from her brother, she immediately understood the danger.
If His Majesty Kong Xuan hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid something might have happened to me. No matter whether he lived or died, he would have become the weakness of his brother and Heavenly Court!
"Brother, then... what should we do?"
Yao Ji asked eagerly.
Haotian pondered for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"I need to discuss this matter with others. You will go back to the palace to recuperate for the time being. All you have to say to the outside world is that you were injured while chasing the monster dragon and you need to rest for a while. I will have my own opinion on the rest."
Yao Ji Seeing that his brother had made a plan, he felt at ease and retreated as he was told.
After Yao Ji left, Haotian sat quietly alone in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall for a long time.
Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind.
Two Sages of the West is Heavenly Dao Sage. Even if there is speculation, it is difficult to attack directly without conclusive evidence.
Moreover, this matter concerns the reputation of Yao Ji and Heavenly Court, so it should not be made public.
What he needs is a method that can completely break the situation, and even turn an entire army against him, so that the other party can steal the chicken but lose the rice.
