That little Daoist attendant Haotian had mysteriously disappeared. Given his unusual identity, if the gods learned that he was missing, they would surely suspect Gungun and Ao Yue of secretly doing away with him. As an Iron-Eating Beast with a spotless reputation, how could Gungun endure such slander?
Thus, finding someone to impersonate Haotian was imperative. And, truth be told, Gungun's tolerance for Haotian had already reached its limit. The Heavenly Court had been conquered jointly by its Iron-Eating Beast Clan and the Dragon Race, yet that little Daoist attendant had relied on Hongjun's backing to come here and become some Great Heavenly Venerable, standing on equal footing with Gungun while constantly scheming to seize power.
Later, he and Donghua had joined forces to plot against Gungun, only for it to beat them both into reincarnation. After his true spirit awakened, he became the Jade Emperor and once again relied on Hongjun's backing to obtain the Heavenly Dao Divine Sword, dreaming of taking a share of divine authority. Gungun had used Taiyi to kill him, but out of compassion, it had spared his primordial spirit and even allowed him onto the Investiture of the Gods List, granting him a place among the three hundred and sixty-five Orthodox Gods. It could safely say that it had shown him mercy time and time again.
Now, that little Daoist attendant had mysteriously disappeared and caused it yet more trouble. Taken together, all these things made Gungun decide to remove him from the Heavenly Court for good.
Henceforth, the Heavenly Court would still have an Immortal Lord Haotian, but this Haotian would no longer be the old, obnoxious Haotian who harbored extravagant ambitions and overestimated himself. He would be an honest, obedient Haotian who did exactly as the bear told him!
Whoosh! The Yellow
