550: Chapter 235 Yang Jian Leaves the Heavenly Court_7 550: Chapter 235 Yang Jian Leaves the Heavenly Court_7 After this, Sun Wukong probably had no further dealings with the Ziwei Heavenly Court.
When the Jade Emperor received the news, he furrowed his brows and then couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.
“Why does Your Majesty laugh?”
Lady Houtu couldn’t help but ask.
She too had heard the news, but didn’t see what was amusing about it.
According to the Jade Emperor’s guess, Master Erlang was merely pretending to defect.
If that were the case, Sun Wukong and his group were merely putting on an act.
“I, on the other hand, think that this matter is real,”
said the Jade Emperor.
Lady Houtu looked surprised and stared at the Jade Emperor, not speaking and indicating for him to continue.
The Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said, “Ziwei, as we both know, is adept at the Art of Sovereignty, a skill of mortals.
While the achievement of overshadowing one’s superiors may not exist for us, for him, it is definitely an issue of great concern.
Thus, his wariness towards Sun Wukong is perfectly normal.”
“What does this have to do with Yang Jian leaving the Heavenly Court?”
asked Lady Houtu, frowning.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Do not forget, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong are very close.
Since Ziwei is wary of Sun Wukong, he naturally feels the same towards Yang Jian.
Now that Yang Jian is a Judicial Deity and extremely close to Wukong, Ziwei naturally feels insecure.”
“So, Yang Jian was indeed expelled from the Ziwei Heavenly Court by Ziwei.
Such a narrow heart Ziwei possesses.
He won’t achieve greatness.”
Lady Houtu shook her head as she spoke.
The Jade Emperor, looking pleased with himself, said, “I never held Ziwei in high regard before precisely because of their Art of Sovereignty.
This might work in the Mortal World, but for true Immortal Gods and powerful deities, it only causes annoyance.
Hence, Ziwei will meet his downfall due to his own cleverness.”
Lady Houtu burst out laughing and said, “Having lost Sun Wukong, the Ziwei Heavenly Court has lost at least half its strength, and those strong allies of Wukong may not necessarily assist Ziwei.
Ziwei really backed himself into a corner.”
Neither of them thought highly of Great Emperor Ziwei’s actions.
Such acts of self-diminishing strength were things they would never foolishly attempt.
“This time, I am indeed determined to obtain Erlang,”
a spark of determination flickered in the Jade Emperor’s eyes.
For this nephew, his desire was strong.
If he could win over Erlang, under his guidance, Erlang would certainly bring a huge surprise to the Three Realms.
At that time, even The Three Pure Ones would be alarmed.
“Will Erlang join Your Majesty?”
Lady Houtu was somewhat worried.
Erlang and the Jade Emperor were almost irreconcilable enemies, and she thought it unlikely that Erlang would join the Jade Emperor.
However, seeing the Jade Emperor’s confidence, Lady Houtu thought that he probably had another strategy in mind.
Otherwise, why would he look so assured?
“To make Erlang of the Yang Family comply, we need to start with his mother,”
the Jade Emperor said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lady Houtu was instantly shocked.
Was the Jade Emperor planning to strike at his own sister again?
“You must not harm Fairy Yunhua,”
Lady Houtu immediately said.
The Jade Emperor laughed and said, “Don’t worry, how could I be that kind of person?
I definitely will not hurt her.”
Seeing the Jade Emperor so sure, Lady Houtu was slightly relieved.
Although the Jade Emperor was profoundly scheming and could use anyone to his advantage,
if he promised something, he would definitely fulfill it – a trait Lady Houtu greatly admired.
Seeing the Jade Emperor promise not to harm Fairy Yunhua, Lady Houtu felt reassured.
A flicker of coldness passed through the Jade Emperor’s eyes.
He summoned Lu Yue and gave a few instructions.
Lu Yue immediately set off to carry out his tasks.
At Guan River Mouth, Yang Jian felt uneasy.
He did not know why, but a sudden sense of unease arose in his heart.
“What could be wrong?
Could something be about to happen?”
Yang Jian thought to himself, worried.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
asked the barks-at-heaven dog.
Nezha also cast his gaze over, showing a questioning look.
Seeing Yang Jian’s uneasiness and his inability to sit still,
“I don’t know, but there’s a sense of unease in my heart, like something is about to happen?”
Yang Jian said, his expression growing solemn as he felt an indescribable unease.
Nezha thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have that feeling, it must not be something concerning us, oh no, Erlang, let’s go to Mount Hua.”
Hearing the words “Mount Hua,” Yang Jian also realized where the problem lay.
“Let’s go.”
Without any hesitation, Yang Jian and his group immediately set off for Mount Hua.
At that moment, atop Mount Hua, a fierce battle was unfolding.
Liu Chenxiang was fighting several Celestial Immortals, with a Heavenly Venerate leading, watching Liu Chenxiang closely.
Liu Chenxiang was extremely powerful, no less formidable than Yang Jian who hadn’t yet become a Heavenly Venerate.
However, the Celestial Immortals and the Heavenly Venerate present were equally strong.
They were ganging up on Liu Chenxiang alone, behind whom stood a man and two women, currently glaring angrily at the attacking Immortals.
Seeing Liu Chenxiang at a disadvantage, they were anxious.
Fairy Yunhua was about to step forward to aid her grandson,
when suddenly a roar came from a distance.
The Heavenly Venerate’s expression changed, and without a word, he struck Liu Chenxiang, then fled with the several Celestial Immortals, disappearing in an instant.
Shortly after they left, Yang Jian arrived at the scene.
Liu Chenxiang appeared surprised, then respectfully called out, “Uncle.”
Yang Jian nodded and his gaze settled on Fairy Yunhua 和 Lady San Shengmu.
Seeing them safe, Yang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Who was it just now?”
Yang Jian said through gritted teeth.
