Chapter 148 This is the Eastern Territory, under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court!
Before long, Haotian's men arrived outside the cave where Yao Ji was being suppressed.
Before Haotian could even step inside, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a monk wearing a kasaya appeared, sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus platform.
In addition, this monk exuded a powerful aura, indicating that he was actually a Great Golden Immortal.
"Ananda greets His Majesty the Jade Emperor!"
The monk clasped his hands together and bowed to the heavens in Buddhist salutation.
The tone seemed respectful, but it carried a subtle hint of obstruction.
This monk named Ananda was a disciple of the Western Saint.
Ordered to assist in guarding Taoshan.
"Um?"
Seeing Ananda blocking his way, Haotian's eyes turned cold, his imperial might radiating, and he said in a deep voice:
"Ananda, what do you mean by this?"
"Does this mean I need your permission to enter?"
Upon hearing what Haotian said, Ananda smiled slightly and said:
"His Majesty."
"This humble monk is also acting on the orders of the sage."
"To ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Upon hearing this, Haotian's expression grew even more somber.
He knew very well that his younger sister, Yao Ji, had descended to the mortal realm and married a mortal named Yang Tianyou.
Behind this is the influence of Western religions.
Nowadays, they even send people to guard this Peach Mountain, ostensibly to assist the Heavenly Court, but in reality, it's for surveillance.
To prevent Yao Ji from slipping out of control and disrupting the Western sage's plans.
After a moment's thought, Haotian's anger flared up, and he stared coldly at A'Nan:
"This is the eastern territory, under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court!"
"I, the Heavenly Emperor, need not inform anyone before entering."
"Furthermore, don't try to intimidate me by invoking saints!"
As he spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Haotian's body, pressing directly towards Ananda in front of him.
"this?"
Upon sensing Haotian's aura, Ananda's soul trembled.
Although Haotian is not a saint, his strength is extraordinary as he has become the ruler of the Three Realms.
It was far beyond what a Great Immortal like Ananda could contend with indefinitely.
Before Ananda could even react, Haotian coldly snorted:
"snort!"
"Open the cave door for me now!"
Ananda paused for a moment, realizing that he had no way to stop Haotian on his own.
Moreover, his purpose here is to assist the Heavenly Court in guarding Yao Ji; if he goes too far, it would be overstepping his bounds.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a moment's thought, Ananda responded and then gently waved his hand, thus opening the restriction on the cave entrance.
"Boom boom..."
At the same time, the gate to the cave slowly opened.
Seeing this, Haotian ignored Anan and walked straight into the cave.
Ananda saw this and sighed helplessly. Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
Soon, Haotian arrived at the place of confinement inside the mountain.
"Um?"
Upon seeing Haotian arrive, Yaoji immediately frowned, a complex emotion flashing deep in her eyes.
It should be noted that it was Haotian who, in his rage, suppressed her on Peach Mountain.
Yao Ji harbored resentment towards her brother.
After all, if it weren't for Haotian...
Their family will not be separated.
Seeing Yao Ji looking at him with resentment, Hao Tian felt very uncomfortable.
After a moment of silence, Yao Ji asked coldly:
What are you doing here?
Upon hearing Yao Ji's question, Hao Tian took a deep breath, suppressing his heartache, and replied:
"I have come here to tell you some news."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ji frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes:
"What news?"
Haotian didn't hide anything and replied directly:
"News about your children!"
As soon as Haotian uttered these words, Yaoji was immediately moved.
"My child?"
"How are they now?"
"Has he... already met a tragic end?"
As she spoke, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in Yao Ji's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Haotian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sister, do you really think of your brother as so heartless and cold-blooded?"
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Yaoji was taken aback, and her expression softened slightly.
After a slight pause, Haotian continued:
They are all fine.
"It was even... better than expected."
At this point, Haotian paused briefly, then added:
"Yang Jian became a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Immortal at the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Spring Mountain."
"As for Yang Chan, she has gained the favor of the sage Nuwa and has been taken to the Nuwa Palace in the Chaos Beyond the Heavens to cultivate."
"As for Chen Changsheng, he is now a direct disciple of Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect."
After listening to what Haotian said, Yaoji's icy expression softened considerably, and her eyes glistened with tears.
After all, what she was most worried about was her family.
Hearing that Chen Changsheng and the others are safe and sound, I am naturally relieved.
After a moment of silence, Yao Ji quickly asked:
"What about my husband and Jiao'er?"
"How are they now?"
Upon hearing Yao Ji's question, Hao Tian paused for a moment, then replied with a hint of helplessness:
"After Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao went to the West, their whereabouts became unknown, and I do not know their exact location either."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ji's expression darkened, and sorrow reappeared on her face.
Seeing this, Haotian quickly said:
"You don't need to worry too much."
"This Peach Mountain... I'm afraid it won't hold you for long."
After saying that, Haotian gave Yaoji a meaningful look.
Without waiting for Yao Ji to say anything more, the man turned and left.
Watching Haotian leave, Yaoji parted her lips slightly, as if she had something else to say, but she swallowed the words back down.
Before long, Haotian had disappeared from Yaoji's sight.
"Could it be...could it be that I've misunderstood my brother?"
Yao Ji muttered to herself, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
At that moment, she seemed to understand something.
Even his elder brother, the ruler of the Three Realms, had many helpless situations.
The laws of Heaven cannot be violated. If he were to act out of personal favoritism, how could he govern all the immortals?
Suppressing himself here is the maximum he can do within the rules.
……
Meanwhile, around Jin'ao Island, Chen Changsheng and Bixiao continued their travels.
Before we knew it, a year had passed.
During this time, the two visited countless wonders.
To Chen Changsheng's dismay, no more treasures fell into the hidden locations during this period.
"It seems that opportunities don't come all the time."
Chen Changsheng sighed inwardly, then turned his gaze to Bixiao standing to the side:
"Uncle-Master, we've been traveling for a while now, it's time for me to return to Mount Emei."
"good!"
Bixiao nodded, then turned around and prepared to escort Chen Changsheng away.
Just then, a system notification sounded in Chen Changsheng's mind:
【Ding! 】
[Level 5 treasure map discovered!]
[Shall we proceed with the excavation?]
Upon hearing the system's sudden notification, Chen Changsheng was taken aback and immediately stopped.
"What's wrong, nephew?"
Seeing this, Bixiao asked with a hint of doubt, and a thought involuntarily popped into her mind: Could it be that Chen Changsheng has discovered some kind of opportunity again?
