Departure

"Can you tone it down a bit? You scared my friend away." Yang Chan complained to Richard after the Third Princess had walked a distance.

"I've already been very restrained; I haven't even shown much of my strength," Richard said innocently.

"Okay, if it were me before I joined the Chat Group, I would also feel pressured when I'm with you."

"It's certainly not easy for us minor gods and immortals to get along with you ancient gods and powerful beings," Yang Chan, expressing her understanding to the Third Princess.

"But it seems you don't show much respect for Taishang Laojun either?" Richard asked, puzzled.

"That's because nobody knew this guy was so important. We really thought he was just an old alchemist."

"Was he really a great figure on par with Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu in other worlds?" Yang Chan asked.

This world only has the concept of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, not Daode Tianzun. Naturally, the Taishang Laojun who refines elixirs in the Heavenly Court is not an Clone of this person.

But Richard still dared not underestimate this one; only these Earth God would be so ignorant and fearless.

"I don't know, who can say for sure? How could I possibly know the state of these big shots?"

"If I knew that, wouldn't I be a big shot too?" That was the only answer Richard could give.

He genuinely didn't know the state of these powerful figures, or how mysterious the so-called "Daluo" was.

Everything will only become clear once he reaches a certain level of strength. Without sufficient strength, one can only observe these powerful figures from a distance, like looking at flowers through a fog.

Like blind men touching an elephant, they can't see the whole picture.

Just as Yang Chan was preparing to take Richard to visit the Moon Palace again, the Fire God she had left behind on Mount Hua sent her a message through her mind, telling her to return.

Xiao Yao added at the same time, "Father, that Erlang Shen is back again, and he's waiting for us on Mount Hua."

Okay, so we can't go shopping now.

I wonder how Yang Jian's investigation is going in Heavenly Court. It's only been a little over a month, and only a little over an hour has passed in Heavenly Court, right?

What information can be found from this?

One step and the world is within reach.

The next instant, Richard appeared on Mount Hua with Yang Chan and Xiao Yao.

Although he couldn't use his divine sense to scan a wide area or freely use the Space Dao, Richard could still quickly travel back and forth to the places he had been through using spatial teleportation.

"Fellow Daoist, your Way of Qiankun and Earth is truly convenient for traveling," Yang Chan said enviously.

"Want to learn? Just buy it in the group. I've already uploaded it to the group files, but you didn't look at it carefully, so who's to blame?"

Richard said irritably.

"Okay." Yang Chan reminded herself once again that she must carefully review the group files in the future.

Then he looked at the master and servant in front of the Daoist temple.

"Let's go inside and talk," Yang Jian said as soon as he saw them.

Judging from his tone, he seems to have genuinely discovered something.

Richard and Yang Chan followed him into the Daoist temple.

The Howling Celestial Dog stood outside the door, also keeping Xiao Yao outside as well.

Xiao Yao glared at him angrily. "You naughty dog, what are you doing? Let me in."

"Hey, little guy, what did you call me?" The Howling Celestial Dog. "You little brat, you dare call me a dog?"

Okay, he does have canine blood, but in Heavenly Court you can call him Howling Celestial Dog, and he won't complain.

When he arrives in the mortal realm, please call him the Sun-Swallowing Divine Lord.

He is a unique being, not just an ordinary dog demon.

Richard ignored the lawsuit between Xiao Yao and Howling Celestial Dog behind the scenes and let her have fun.

It's just an avatar anyway, so it can't harm Xiao Yao's real body.

Moreover, the Howling Celestial Dog might not actually be a match for Xiao Yao in her avatar.

Yang Jian set up a restriction before speaking, "My little sister's marriage line is indeed strange. Recently, she has been vaguely connected with a mortal."

Yue Lao the old man who was supposed to be the matchmaker couldn't give a clear answer.

Yang Chan looked completely bewildered; she didn't sense anything was wrong.

"Did the Yue Lao, the god in charge of marriage, not notice anything amiss?" Richard asked.

"I didn't investigate in detail because I was worried about problems with my third sister, so I rushed back first."

I've already asked the Six Brothers of Meishan to keep an eye on things in Heavenly Court.

"My priority is ensuring my third sister's safety. As for those treacherous villains plotting behind the scenes, I'll deal with them when I have the time." Yang Jian helplessly.

Richard turned to look at Yang Chan; he too understood the principles of Karma Law and effect, Fate, Way of Desire.

Unfortunately, after a thorough investigation, nothing was found to be amiss.

The paths of Karma Law and Fate, destiny, Way of Desire are ultimately not his primary focus, and he cannot be considered proficient in them. It is insufficient for him to discover the schemes of the powerful beings in this world against Yang Chan.

Although his path of Fate led him to become Mid-level God, it differed considerably from the Way of Karma and Fate in this world, and he could not use much of it.

As for the Way of Desire, it is merely based on insights provided by a Master of Rules.

That Master of Rules wasn't particularly strong to begin with, and Richard could only be considered to have a rough grasp of them.

In this situation, it seems that one can only passively respond to the other party's schemes.

"I previously discussed with the Third Holy Mother a way to protect herself. Although it was a bit shabby, it was still a good idea," he said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? What method?" Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

"Let the Third Holy Mother tell you." Richard turned and walked out.

He didn't care how Yang Chan confessed to Yang Jian afterward.

It looks like we won't be able to play in this world this time.

There's no need to guess what Yang Jian will choose; to protect Yang Chan, he will definitely agree to let Yang Chan run away.

For Yang Chan, having a way to access Heavens and Myriad Worlds was already a great opportunity, so why should she cling to the small God Position of the Third Holy Mother?

He will definitely find a way to free Yang Chan from the position of the Third Holy Mother, and then let Yang Chan transition to the world of other group members for a period of time.

Once Yang Chan left, and this weakness was gone, Yang Jian was able to get more serious work done.

This character, who in the original story was able to scheme against the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, was no ordinary person.

With the plot advantage and without Yang Chan as a weakness, he can definitely perform even better.

When they came out, they saw that Xiao Yao had already tied up Howling Celestial Dog and was idly whipping it with a tree branch.

The Howling Celestial Dog struggled to break free, but was powerless against the Xi Zhi binding him.

It looked like a fragile, thin branch, but no matter how much it struggled, grew larger or smaller, or even tried to change its form, it couldn't get rid of it and couldn't break free.

It would be strange if it could be broken. These are branches from Xiao Yao's true form. With Xiao Yao's current strength, even High-level God in his own world wouldn't be able to break free if bound like this.

In order to restrain the Howling Celestial Dog, Xiao Yao had to use her true skills.

As expected, even the Howling Celestial Dog couldn't defeat Xiao Yao's incarnation; he's really weak.

"Father." Seeing Richard come out, Xiao Yao quickly came over.

"Why hasn't the Third Holy Mother come out yet?" She looked behind Richard and, not seeing the Third Holy Mother emerge, asked.

"She and her brother still had some things to say, so I came out first."

"Let the Howling Celestial Dog go." Keeping him tied up all the time isn't proper; he's Yang Jian's dog after all. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner.

Before he came out, it was fine for Xiao Yao and Howling Celestial Dog to play around, but now that he's out, Howling Celestial Dog is still tied up. That's really disrespectful to Yang Jian.

"This naughty dog wouldn't let me in, and it even tried to bite me." Xiao Yao waved her hand and retracted the Xi Zhi binding Howling Celestial Dog.

After being released, the Howling Celestial Dog quickly hid to the side, not daring to provoke the little witch again.

Who knew this little girl was so incredibly strong?

Not long after, Yang Jian and his sister Yang Chan came out.

Yang Jian certainly knew what was happening outside, but like Richard, he wouldn't interfere.

Even the Howling Celestial Dog couldn't beat a little girl, so he was too embarrassed to stand up for the Howling Celestial Dog.

I just thought that Howling Celestial Dog had indeed been slacking off lately, and I would definitely supervise him to make him cultivate properly in the future.

"Have you reached an agreement?" Richard asked.

"My third sister has already told me, but I didn't expect you to have such a background. I'll have to trouble you all to take care of my third sister in the future," Yang Jian replied.

The Heavens and Myriad Worlds? Chat Group? How wondrous! At this moment, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel a slight interest in what lay beyond the chaos.

Perhaps one day in the future, after he lays down his burdens, he too will wander far into the chaos to see the scenery of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds?

"I'll have to trouble you to look after my third sister for a while longer. I need to return to Heavenly Court to remove her divine God Position. She can't leave before God Position happens," Yang Jian said.

"No problem, no problem," Richard readily agreed.
