Haotian Caves In!
The Four Brahma Heavens Heavenly Prisons...
Led by Bai Chen, the Queen Mother of the West arrived at this place.
Bai Chen pointed to Bai Fengjiu, who was trapped in the cage, and introduced her to the Queen Mother of the West:
"This Bai Fengjiu is the fox spirit from Qingqiu who had an affair with Donghua!"
Although Bai Fengjiu was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, she was not subjected to excessive torture.
It wasn't that Bai Chen was being merciful, but rather that Bai Fengjiu's cultivation was too weak, only at the Golden Immortal realm.
The tortures in this heavenly prison are so severe that Daluo Golden Immortal might not be able to withstand them.
Bai Fengjiu only at the Golden Immortal realm. If she were tortured to death, wouldn't there be no way to prove her innocence?
Bai Chen needs Bai Fengjiu to live in order to nail Donghua to the pillar of shame.
Actually, there's another reason for this: Bai Chen and Bai Fengjiu don't have any personal grudges.
When the Queen Mother of the West saw Bai Fengjiu's face, she was filled with rage.
What kind of lowly vixen is she, daring to look eight or nine parts similar to me?
This vixen must have bewitched Fellow Donghua by using a face that resembles his own, right?
If it weren't for this vixen, how could Donghua have been caught red-handed by Bai Chen?
That vixen deserves to die!
The Queen Mother of the West unleashed her killing intent, and at that moment she was contemplating whether or not to kill Bai Fengjiu.
After all, if Bai Fengjiu is killed, Bai Chen will have no witnesses.
Bai Chen sensed the Queen Mother of the West's murderous intent towards Bai Fengjiu, but it did not show any unusual reaction.
As long as the Queen Mother of the West dares to attack Bai Fengjiu, Bai Chen can openly and legitimately attack the Queen Mother of the West and defeat her.
As the Heavenly Emperor, isn't it reasonable for the Great God Bai Chen to protect the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison?
The Queen Mother of the West, who had originally intended to intervene, glanced at Bai Chen and immediately calmed down.
Intuition told the Queen Mother of the West that Bai Chen was definitely plotting against her and was waiting for her to make a move.
I can't beat this cat, so I have to be patient and not let it find an opportunity to attack.
Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West's murderous intent towards Bai Fengjiu had vanished instantly, Bai Chen felt bored.
Bai Chen then brought Queen Mother of the West to Donghua's side, where Donghua was soaking in the Weak Water, Weak Water was constantly corroding his Donghua and blood.
When Donghua saw the Queen Mother of the West arrive, he lowered his head in shame, realizing his mistake.
At the same time, he hated Bai Chen to the core. This cat had already scratched him, but why did it have to bring the Queen Mother of the West along?
Seeing Donghua being tortured, the Queen Mother of the West could no longer contain herself and questioned Bai Chen:
"Bai Chen, isn't this kind of vigilante justice going too far?"
The Queen Mother of the West believed that Donghua was the Head of Male Immortals bestowed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and that Bai Chen's actions of not only arresting him but also subjecting him to severe torture were truly excessive.
This isn't handling official business properly; it's clearly settling a personal score!
Faced with the Queen Mother of the West's questioning, Bai Chen pretended to reprimand Fei Lian, who was standing to the side:
"Fei Lian, what's going on? How many times have I, the Heavenly Emperor, said that punishments are forbidden to be used on criminals!"
Fei Lian bowed to Bai Chen and gave the excuse he had prepared:
"Your Heavenly Emperor, please forgive us. The Heavenly Prison has been short-staffed lately, so we transferred some temporary workers. These temporary workers are ignorant and incompetent!"
Bai Chen passed the task to Fei Lian, Fei Lian then passed it on to a temporary worker.
"Queen Mother of the West, did you hear that? It's all because these temporary workers are ignorant!"
Following Fei Lian's lead, Bai Chen pushed the responsibility onto the temporary worker.
"Bai Chen, you guys~"
When the Queen Mother of the West heard Bai Chen and Fei Lian's utterly perfunctory excuse, she was furious.
Since she couldn't win a fight or win an argument, the Queen Mother of the West could only suppress her anger and negotiate with Bai Chen, saying:
"Bai Chen, what conditions do you want for me to release them?"
The Queen Mother of the West only wants Bai Chen to release the people; as for the rest, she'll settle accounts with Bai Chen later.
"Queen Mother of the West, what are you saying?"
"I captured Donghua and the others to uphold the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws, not to gain any personal benefits!"
Bai Chen sternly rebuked the Queen Mother of the West, saying that his reputation as the Great God Bai Chen had been ruined by these people.
All right!
The truth is, Bai Chen didn't care for anything on the Queen Mother of the West's body.
Seeing that Bai Chen didn't want to downplay the matter, the Queen Mother of the West said:
"Bai Chen, it seems you were behind this incident involving Donghua, weren't you?"
"After all, you used the Marriage Red Thread to tie the Marriage Red Thread between Fellow Daoist Fuxi and Fellow Xihe, nailing Fuxi to the pillar of shame!"
Tell the Queen Mother of the West directly that Donghua's current situation is closely related to Bai Chen.
After all, Bai Chen had learned from past mistakes, having used similar methods to deal with Fuxi and Xihe.
Donghua, who was submerged in the Weak Water, glared at Bai Chen after hearing what the Queen Mother of the West said, and said fiercely:
"Bai Chen, so it was you plotting against me again! I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Although Donghua didn't know whether Bai Chen had plotted against him or not, now that the scapegoat had been identified, he naturally had to shift the blame and try to salvage his image in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West.
Seeing the Queen Mother of the West and Donghua singing in harmony, Bai Chen immediately rebuked them sternly:
"Queen Mother of the West, Donghua, you two, don't talk nonsense!"
"Donghua and Bai Fengjiu are Marriage Red Thread, I, the Great God, swear to guarantee it!"
Bai Chen really dared to make a vow, because Donghua and Bai Fengjiu were originally bound by a Marriage Red Thread.
The ribbon I tied around Donghua and Bai Fengjiu's heads was simply a thicker version of the original one.
"Furthermore, if it were I, the Great God, who harmed him, how could the Dao Ancestor possibly agree to my severe punishment?"
In an effort to clear his name, Bai Chen even invoked the name of Dao Ancestor Hongjun as a shield.
Chapter 577 Haotian chickened out!
"This..."
Bai Chen's words left Queen Mother of the West and Donghua speechless.
Only Fei Lian, who had been a lackey for many years, knew that there was a flaw in Bai Chen's words.
The cat only said that Donghua and Bai Fengjiu Bai Fengjiu already had a predestined Marriage Red Thread, but it didn't say that it didn't tie a second Marriage Red Thread for Donghua.
Just then, Bai Chen stared at Donghua and said:
"Donghua, you have been caught red-handed, yet you maliciously slander this Heavenly Emperor in an attempt to escape punishment. Your crime is now doubled!"
Bai Chen has pinned another new charge on Donghua.
Before Donghua could retort, Bai Chen swung his hand, giving him a powerful blow, and then turned to the Queen Mother of the West, saying:
"Queen Mother of the West, it won't be long before this great deity publicly judges Donghua."
You may not see each other again then, so say goodbye properly!
After Bai Chen finished speaking, he gestured for Fei Lian to leave.
Fei Lian wisely led everyone away, leaving them with their private space.
After everyone had left, Donghua looked at the Queen Mother of the West and said regretfully:
"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, I'm sorry to have made you laugh at what happened!"
Donghua now regrets it a bit. Why didn't he hide Bai Fengjiu better back then? He actually listened to Haotian's nonsense and kept her in a golden house in the Heavenly Court.
It's important to know that Bai Chen's territory is located above, and no one can guarantee that Bai Chen hasn't planted spies in Haotian's territory.
If Bai Fengjiu had been left in Qingqiu back then, Bai Chen certainly wouldn't have been able to find any fault with her.
Seeing Donghua's remorse, the Queen Mother of the West advised and comforted him:
"Donghua, this matter is definitely related to Bai Chen."
"It's too much of a coincidence that you did something like this and were caught red-handed by Bai Chen."
Although the Queen Mother of the West had no evidence, her intuition told her that given Bai Chen's wicked nature, it was absolutely impossible for him to be unrelated to this matter.
Just as the Queen Mother of the West and Donghua were talking, Haotian, who was hanging there like a light bulb, spoke up at an inopportune moment:
"Bai Chen doesn't seem like he'll let us off easily!"
Haotian didn't want to disturb the Queen Mother of the West and Donghua, but he didn't even consider the situation.
Haotian was genuinely frightened by Bai Chen's harsh words.
After a moment of contemplation, the Queen Mother of the West said in a deep voice:
"Given Bai Chen's personality, it's highly likely he'll send you to keep the Di Jun brothers company."
This conjecture was inspired by the method Queen Mother of the West Bai Chen used to deal with the Di Jun brothers.
"!!!"
"Isn't that for suppressing the South Bright Undying Volcano?"
Haotian was startled; to be honest, he was terrified.
Although he had never been to the South Bright Undying Volcano, he had heard of how powerful it was.
To put it bluntly, if he were like the brothers Di Jun, he would be eternally suppressed by the South Bright Undying Volcano, enduring endless torment from the burning flames of the Southern Ming.
He felt it would be better to be killed; that would be much more swift.
