Arresting the Third Holy Mother

"Ding~ Best Uncle in the Three Realms has joined the Loser Chat Group."

Aside from Tsunade, who was drunk, both Zhang Sanfeng and Chen Huang saw the message.

This has to be Erlang Shen, right? Chen Huang thought. Erlang Shen had been one of his childhood idols—dressed in a handsome black True Lord robe, with a divine Heavenly Eye on his forehead. Of course, he meant the Erlang Shen from Precious Lotus Lantern. As for the one from Journey to the West, forget it.

And wasn't "Best Uncle in the Three Realms" referring precisely to the Erlang Shen from Precious Lotus Lantern? No matter how much he disliked Chen Xiang, he had still fulfilled the duties expected of him as an uncle.

In the early stages, Chen Xiang had just been a brat who possessed a little power. In Chen Huang's eyes, he was about the same as Nezha, who skinned and dismembered the Dragon King's Third Crown Prince.

Loli Connoisseur: Welcome, newcomer!

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Welcome, newcomer!

Yang Jian sat upon the throne in his Heavenly God of Justice Mansion, unexpectedly receiving such a message.

"An opportunity?" he murmured.

The next second, he chose to accept.

"Second Master!"

A subordinate came before him and spoke, deliberately lowering his voice as though he had a guilty conscience.

"What is it?"

"Second Master! Our brothers in the lower realm have reported that the Third Holy Mother has been having an affair with a mortal from the lower realm, Liu Yanchang. She has... already borne him a son!"

Yang Jian's expression changed drastically, his face turning grim. Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Is what you said true?"

"Second Master! They are on Mount Hua. If you do not believe it, you can personally make the trip."

Yang Jian clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. Honestly, because of what had happened to his mother, Yao Ji, he absolutely could not believe that his younger sister would do such a thing.

But his subordinate spoke with such certainty that he could not simply disbelieve him.

He thought to himself, Third Sister, becoming the Heavenly God of Justice was never what I wanted. Why can't you understand me? And why did you have to be the one to stand out? Have you already forgotten Mother's example?

Yang Jian said coldly, "Gather the troops! March to Mount Hua! Arrest the Third Holy Mother and her family of three!"

"Yes, Second Master!"

Thinking of his own past experiences, Yang Jian added, "Remember! Take them alive only!"

"Yes!"

Earlier, when Yang Jian had accepted the invitation, the Chat Group had already poured all kinds of explanations and common knowledge into his sea of consciousness.

Seeing the welcomes sent by Zhang Sanfeng and Chen Huang, Yang Jian replied, "I have matters to attend to! We can talk next time!"

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: I have matters to attend to! We can talk next time!

Chen Huang muttered, "He has matters to attend to? This is the Loser Chat Group, so what point in time is he from? Is he secretly in love with Chang'e? Or has he lost his Magic Power and been abandoned by everyone?"

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Young friend, do you know this newcomer?

Loli Connoisseur: I do.

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: How do you know everyone?

Loli Connoisseur: .

Loli Connoisseur: This newcomer is very special. You have probably heard his name as well.

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Oh? I would like to hear the details.

Loli Connoisseur: The Three Realms refer to the Heavenly Realm, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Human Realm. The newcomer is Yang Jian, the Heavenly God of Justice of the Heavenly Court. His honorific title is True Lord Erlang of Manifested Holiness, and he is also known as True Lord of Pure Source and Wonderful Dao. Among mortals, he is called "Erlang Shen," and he has many other titles as well.

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: True Lord Erlang? An immortal?

Loli Connoisseur: What? You have never heard of him?

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: This old Daoist naturally knows of True Lord Erlang. It is just that...

Loli Connoisseur: You do not know how to talk to him, do you? You cannot sit still and feel awkward all over, while also feeling a little happy and excited inside?

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Yes, that is exactly how I feel.

Loli Connoisseur: To be honest, I feel about the same.

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin:

Loli Connoisseur: All right, I was joking. In truth, this Erlang Shen is somewhat different from the Erlang Shen you imagined.

Chen Huang knew that when Zhang Sanfeng said he knew him, he had to mean the Erlang Shen from mythology. But just as this Zhang Sanfeng was not the historical Zhang Sanfeng, but rather the Zhang Sanfeng from Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Chen Huang figured this Erlang Shen had to be the one from Precious Lotus Lantern. There was no mistake.

Loli Connoisseur: @Chat Group, shouldn't there be a notification sound when a newcomer joins? You woke me up with it last time, so why didn't Tsunade get woken up?

Chat Group: Because you were the only group member last time, I specifically woke you up.

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin:

Loli Connoisseur: You are ruthless! I'll remember this!

"Ding~ Loli Connoisseur has been muted for one hour."

Chen Huang slapped his forehead and said, "Well done! Forget it, I'm going to train!"

Over these past days, Chen Huang had successfully raised his Soul Power by two levels. This was not even his normal cultivation speed.

Chen Huang would often train until he was exhausted and had nearly depleted his Soul Power before beginning his cultivation technique. That was also when the results were best.

However, he could feel some medicinal power in his body that had not yet been digested. It was probably from the supplements he had consumed before, which had not been fully absorbed. That was why his improvement had been so rapid.

There was no need to mention Immortal Grade herbs. Even ordinary medicinal tonics could increase Soul Power. What a pity he knew nothing about such things. Otherwise, he would find more tonics in the future and eat them every day.

As he continued cultivating, his physical fitness and the amount of training he could endure had unknowingly increased greatly.

Xiao Shan also trained with him every day, running laps around the Back Mountain before going to the foot of the Back Mountain by the Horizon to practice the use and control of Soul Power. She truly had kept following Chen Huang all along.

This also put Chen Huang under tremendous pressure.

It was not frightening for someone to be talented. What was frightening was for a genius to work hard. If they put in the same effort, Chen Huang's aptitude meant he was destined never to catch up to Xiao Shan.

Fortunately, Xiao Shan had yet to obtain her First Soul Ring, so her Soul Power Level could not increase. However, according to Master's theory, although her Soul Power Level could not rise, the effects of cultivating Soul Power would still accumulate. Once she obtained a Spirit Ring, all those effects would manifest at once.

After running five kilometers, Chen Huang and Xiao Shan were both panting heavily as they found two large rocks to sit on. Given their current physical fitness, running five kilometers was still far too strenuous. In fact, in Chen Huang's previous life, some adult couch potatoes who lacked exercise would have found running even harder than he did. Their physical fitness was not even as good as his.

"Xiao Shan."

"Hm? What is it?"

"Actually, you do not need to run and train with me. Your talent is very good, and you will easily become strong in the future. Unlike me, my aptitude is poor, so I need to make up for it with hard work."

"No. I said I would protect you, so I need to become even stronger," Xiao Shan said.

Chen Huang could not help smiling. "Do you know what it means to be powerful?"

Xiao Shan rolled her eyes at Chen Huang. "I do not know, but I know I am not strong enough yet. I said I would protect you, but if I cannot even surpass you, then what can I use to protect you?"

She felt that she could finish five kilometers because her Soul Power was more abundant than Chen Huang's. Chen Huang being able to finish five kilometers showed that his physical fitness was better than hers. Beyond that, Chen Huang also possessed an innate advantage in controlling Soul Power. This was all thanks to his powerful Mental Power.

She did not know that if Martial Souls were used, she would be much stronger than Chen Huang. After all, Chen Huang's Martial Soul was a genuinely useless Martial Soul, completely worthless.
