Think You Can Get Away with That?

Just as Bai Chen bowed and prepared to leave, Dao Ancestor Hongjun Bai Chen out to him and instructed him:

"Bai Chen, however, Donghua and Haotian are destined to perish according to the Great Dao's Destiny, so we spared their lives."

"Furthermore, Yaoji has nothing to do with this matter, so release her!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt that by speaking up and asking Bai Chen to release Yaoji, thus saving Haotian and Donghua a sliver of hope, he had already done everything he could.

"Go!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, indicating that Bai Chen could leave. He believed that with Bai Chen's wisdom, he would handle this matter well.

The Four Brahma Heavens Heavenly Prisons...

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

No sooner had Bai Chen arrived at the prison than Ji Meng and Fei Lian arrived with their men to greet him.

Led by Ji Meng and Fei Lian, they arrived at the lowest level of the Heavenly Prison, where the most heinous criminals were imprisoned.

Haotian, Donghua, Yaoji: Are we vicious villains?

We are clearly high-ranking officials in Heavenly Court!

Seeing Yaoji engulfed in flames, Bai Chen pretended to scold Ji Meng and Fei Lian, saying:

"Didn't I tell you to interrogate Heavenly Emperor properly? Why are you torturing Yaoji like this?"

There was no other way; Yaoji was about to be released, and now they needed an explanation to shut up the outside world.

Chapter 574 You think you're so great?

Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, Ji Meng and Fei Lian immediately sensed something was amiss, bowed respectfully, and apologized, saying:

"Your Heavenly Emperor, these people in the Heavenly Prison are all newcomers. It's all our fault for not managing them properly. We beg Your Heavenly Emperor to punish us."

Ji Meng and Fei Lian, true to their reputation as seasoned veterans of the Primordial World, promptly shifted the blame to the other party.

According to Ji Meng and Fei Lian, Bai Chen had previously gone to see Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so Bai Chen's current attitude must be related to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"I, the Heavenly Emperor, do not wish to hear of such things again."

Bai Chen pretended to scold Ji Meng and Fei Lian, saying that some things were clear to everyone and there was no need to point them out.

"Rest assured, Heavenly Emperor!"

Ji Meng and Fei Lian bowed to Bai Chen, but at the same time, they were troubled. This excuse was no longer valid; they would have to use another excuse next time.

Next time, let's push it onto the temporary workers!

Bai Chen turned to Ji Meng and instructed:

"Ji Meng, Yaoji is innocent, release her!"

Although Bai Chen didn't want to release the person, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already said there was nothing he could do.

"I will obey the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Decree!"

After bowing respectfully, Ji Meng removed the divine fire that had been burning Yaoji's body and Primordial Spirit True Spirit, released the Talisman Lock binding her, and completely freed her.

Extremely weak, Yaoji glared at Bai Chen and the others and said fiercely:

"Bai Chen, you've forced a confession out of us. We will definitely report this to the Dao Ancestor!"

After Yaoji entered the Heavenly Prison, she received 'special treatment' at the behest of Ji Meng and Fei Lian.

It was either divine fire that burned her, or lightning that scorched her bones, and even divine winds that tore at her...

They even put her into the Nine Heavens Weak Water to soak, letting the Nine Heavens Weak Water devour her flesh and blood.

Their main tactic is to deny their crimes and then keep finding new ways to torture them.

Yaoji had considered the possibility that Bai Chen would force a confession through torture, but she hadn't expected them to be so ruthless. If it weren't for her strong Bai Chen heart, she might not have been able to withstand it.

"Yaoji, don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that the new jailers in the Heavenly Prison are ignorant. What does that have to do with us?"

Bai Chen sternly rebuked Yaoji, saying that the torture had nothing to do with them; it was all the fault of the new jailers who were ignorant.

When Yaoji saw that Bai Chen denied it, she angrily rebuked him:

"Bai Chen, stop pretending. If it weren't for your instructions, how dare those jailers torture us?"

Yaoji dared to say that Bai Chen was the mastermind behind everything. Without Bai Chen's instruction, given their status, not to mention the prison guards, even Ji Meng and his group might not dare to torture them.

"Yaoji, this is malicious speculation and slander against me, the Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Emperor. However, considering that I failed in my duty to manage my subordinates this time, Heavenly Emperor will not hold it against you. Now get out of here!"

Bai Chen sternly rebuked Yaoji, turning the tables on her, and then pretended to be magnanimous.

"You~"

The victim, Yaoji, wanted to continue blaming Bai Chen, but Bai Chen had already raised his chubby little paws, threatening her:

"Get out of here, or I, the Heavenly Emperor, will beat you!"

Bai Chen felt that if Yaoji didn't know what was good for her, he wouldn't mind giving her another beating.

Haotian, who was being tortured while hanging nearby, saw that Bai Chen might attack Yaoji at any moment and spoke up:

"Bai Chen, release us right now, we'll leave immediately!"

Haotian felt that there was no need to cause trouble with Bai Chen in the current situation. He would settle accounts with the Evil Cat slowly after leaving the prison.

"Hahaha!"

Bai Chen chuckled upon hearing this, turning his gaze to Haotian and saying teasingly:

"Haotian, you've made a mistake, haven't you?"

"Yaoji is innocent, but you are not!"

Bai Chen thought Haotian was out of his mind. How could he possibly leave the Heavenly Prison so easily after all the shameful things he had done?

Now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has abandoned Haotian and Donghua, and left Great God Bai Chen to handle things normally, they still think they can easily leave the Heavenly Prison? They're just daydreaming.

"Bai Chen, are you really not going to release them? Aren't you afraid I'll report your evil deeds to the Dao Ancestor?"

When Yaoji saw that Bai Chen was unwilling to release her brother Haotian, she mentioned the name of Dao Ancestor Hongjun in an attempt to intimidate Bai Chen.

(●ˉ(工)￣●~)Cut~~

Bai Chen looked disdainful. "Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun doesn't care about you anymore, so who are you trying to scare by threatening this great god?"

"Smack!"

Yaoji wanted to speak again, but Bai Chen's chubby hand had already slapped her face.

With a single swipe of its claw, Bai Chen sent Yaoji crashing to the ground.

If Bai Chen hadn't controlled his strength, that swipe of his paw wouldn't have just knocked Yaoji Yaoji to the ground; it would have smashed her head to pieces.

"You dare threaten this great god? You think you're so great?"

"I told you to get lost, but you wouldn't leave, insisting on forcing this great god to beat you up!"

Bai Chen originally didn't want to hit anyone; he just wanted to release Yaoji simply. But the other party kept trying to challenge his authority.

"Throw out the Four Brahma Heavens!"

Bai Chen casually gave an order, Ji Meng waved his hand to summon a Demon God, Demon God then carried the unconscious Yaoji away from the Heavenly Prison.

After Bai Chen released Yaoji, he approached Donghua and Haotian, the two unfortunate brothers, and said with a smile:

"You two, guess why this great god released Yaoji?"

As soon as Bai Chen said this, while Haotian was still pondering, Donghua already had the answer in his heart and replied:

"Bai Chen, for you to release the person, it must be Imperial Decree from the Dao Ancestor, right?"

According to Donghua's knowledge, ever since Houtu became the Earthly Dao Spokesperson and Nuwa became the Human Dao Spokesperson, the cat's status in the Primordial World has risen accordingly.

Although this cat is not a saint, its two closest friends are on the same level as Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Saints of the level of the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti might not be able to command this cat!

If this cat doesn't want to release Yaoji, even the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Donghua, do you still have any brains?!"

Bai Chen, seeing that Donghua had guessed it, admitted it.

Bai Chen thought Donghua had some brains, but not many.

Because this guy's brain is mostly filled with romantic thoughts!

Originally, I had no grudge against Donghua (East Prince Gong), but this guy insisted on showing off in front of Queen Mother of the West, and ended up getting beaten to a pulp!

"It is the Imperial Decree of the Dao Ancestor!"

Upon hearing the Imperial Decree from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Haotian was both shocked and overjoyed, and then said to Fellow Daoist Bai Chen:

"Bai Chen, now that the Dao Ancestor has issued Imperial Decree, why don't you release us?"

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Dao Ancestor for detaining us without permission?"

Haotian felt that since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had asked Bai Chen to release his younger sister Yaoji, he would surely ask Bai Chen to release him and Donghua as well.

You should know that you were appointed the Jade Emperor by the Dao Ancestor, ruling over the Three Realms and Twenty-Eight Heavens!

If Bai Chen keeps me locked up in the Heavenly Prison of the Four Brahma Heavens, who will manage the Twenty-Eight Heavens of the Three Realms?

"Well!"

Donghua sighed and explained to Haotian, who was still unaware of what was happening:

"Haotian, we have disgraced the Dao Ancestor this time!"

From the moment Bai Chen captured them, Donghua had no hope that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would intervene and issue Imperial Decree to save them.

After all, what Haotian and I did this time was truly shameful.

Not only did they lose face themselves, but they also disgraced Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

It's mainly Haotian's fault; he actually got caught by Bai Chen while he was learning a foreign language.

"Donghua, what do you mean?"
