Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 205 More Terrifying Than Erlang Shen

He figured out Mo Youqian's intentions.

When Yang Jian came last time, he fought with Mo Youqian, but he was no match for Erlang Shen.

If Mo Youqian hadn't been sharp-eyed and pulled him to faint, he would definitely have taken two more blows from the axe.

This time the situation is different. Judging from Mo Youqian's personality, he probably wants to stop Longji but doesn't dare to. If he doesn't stop him, he will be punished by the heavens.

Fortunately, he rushed forward and got injured and fainted.

He gave the princess face on one hand, and on the other hand, he had an explanation when the higher-ups investigated, which was a way of giving an account to both sides.

But this guy collapsed without a care in the world, and what about me...?

Yun Yangzi's lips twitched, and a deep sense of struggle and difficulty flashed in his eyes.

He is no longer a heavenly soldier guarding the Heavenly Gate, but a curtain-raising general close to the Heavenly Emperor.

No, it should be called the former Heavenly Emperor, because that Heavenly Emperor has already gone through his tribulation, and the new Heavenly Emperor has not yet been chosen.

Whether or not to stop Longji at this moment... that is the question!
"General!"

Seeing that Mo Youqian had collapsed without even being able to withstand a single move, the heavenly soldiers were shocked and rushed forward to surround and protect him.

A heavenly soldier crouched down to investigate.

Longji glanced over, and the other heavenly soldiers, meeting his gaze, immediately looked at each other, their long spears hesitant to be raised.

"Aren't you going to move aside?"

Longji said coldly, a chillingly powerful aura emanating from her, her gaze carrying a compelling aggressiveness.

Several heavenly soldiers trembled under that gaze.

A celestial soldier, bracing himself and sweating profusely, said, "Your Highness... please... please forgive me, but the Heavenly Court has... has regulations that prohibit unauthorized persons from entering..."

Longji's eyes flashed: "You mean... who are these irrelevant people?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the heavenly soldier who had spoken was immediately startled, his body trembling, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

It's really bad luck that this old lady came back...

They knew the person standing before them all too well!

The Jade Emperor and the Jade Pool Queen Mother are princesses of the Heavenly Court, possessing the highest and most noble status.

What is the Heavenly Court? It's basically like this princess's home.

To put it nicely, they are called heavenly soldiers guarding the heavenly gate; to put it bluntly... aren't they just people who watch the gate for others?
Although this princess was a criminal and could not enter without the decree of the Golden Mother Goddess, ultimately this was a matter between that goddess and this princess and her daughter.

But now this princess wants to go home... Is there a problem with that?

Yun Yangzi stepped forward, releasing his True Immortal-level aura to offset Long Ji's oppressive power. He frowned and said, "Your Highness Long Ji, you are currently under investigation and cannot enter without the Empress's decree. Do you intend to disobey the Empress's order?"

He remembered a rumor in the Heavenly Court that this prince used to be most afraid of the Empress.

Well, actually, there aren't many people in Heaven who aren't afraid of the Empress...

In short, it is said that in the past, Prince Longji would be terrified at the mere mention of the Empress's name and would stay as far away as possible. This time, he had no choice but to bring up the Golden Mother Empress.

To be honest, his refusal to allow Longji to enter the Heavenly Court was not out of a desire to make things difficult for him, but rather out of genuine concern for Prince Longji.

After all, Longji is still a criminal and has been strictly forbidden by the Empress from entering the Heavenly Court. If he were to break in this time, the situation would change drastically.

Adding insult to injury!

Furthermore, setting aside his identity as the Curtain-Raising General, he had also received favors from the Primordial Emperor.

Even though the former Heavenly Emperor is now undergoing tribulation and is no longer in the Heavenly Realm, he cannot bear to see this prince act so foolishly, considering the kindness and appreciation he received from His Majesty when His Majesty was alive.

However, Yunyangzi soon discovered that the prince's reaction... seemed somewhat different from the rumors.

The rumored scene of Prince Longji turning away upon hearing the Empress's name did not materialize. Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked directly at her: "Are you using her... to intimidate me?"

Longji felt that she was really losing her temper at this moment.

From childhood to adulthood, how many years had she been suppressed by that person? Wasn't her past cowardly, timid, and submissive self a result of that person?

The reason she came to the Heavenly Court this time was definitely not just to find Fu Yuan, who disgusted her. In addition, she also wanted to see the Empress Dowager and ask her what she meant by letting Fu Yuan disgust her like this.
Do you still think of her as the girl who was easily manipulated and would silently endure anything?
No more!
Her previous lack of courage to resist was partly due to her lack of courage, but also because she had too many ties and considered too many things.

Her mistake will implicate Sister Qingluan, and even Father God...

But now she doesn't consider these things anymore, because her constant forbearance only leads to her bottom line being lowered again and again.

Then look at that kid Yang Jian. He was originally a mortal whom even the gods looked down on and despised, but under his domineering power, so many gods in the Heavenly Court actually compromised.

Isn't this interesting?
Stared at by Longji, the two exchanged glances in the void. Slowly, sweat began to bead on Yunyangzi's forehead, and his expression grew increasingly strained.

Because he noticed that the princess's aura was gradually increasing...

"Buzz!" Left with no other choice, Yunyangzi raised his hand and a divine light flashed in his palm, revealing a treasure staff.

The scepter was adorned with jewels that shone brightly on the outside, while its interior was filled with auspicious energy and appeared jet black.

"Princess, calm down!" Yunyangzi exclaimed in alarm.

This precious staff was bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Emperor when he was appointed as the Curtain-Raising General, and its origin is quite extraordinary.

Legend has it that the material used to forge this divine weapon came from a sacred tree in the Moon Palace. Wu Gang cut off a branch and it was then crafted by the skilled artisans of Heaven, weighing a total of 5,048 catties.

Furthermore, this divine weapon can change size at will, making it very convenient to carry around.

"Step aside!"

Longji suddenly opened his eyes wide and roared, the violent sound waves sending the heavenly soldiers staggering about.

The unconscious Mo Youqian was blown around by this force and silently rolled a few times until he arrived at the foot of a pillar. Looking at the surrounding scene, Yun Yangzi smiled bitterly, sighed after a moment of silence, took his staff and walked to the side to make way.

The Heavenly Emperor is currently undergoing tribulation and is not in the Heavenly Court, while the Queen Mother of the West is in seclusion at Yaochi...

If this princess were to go inside, she would find that the Heavenly Court is somewhat different now than it was in the past.

"Wow!"

With a soft cry, the blue phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Yunyangzi, leaning on his Solo Staff, slowly sat down next to Mo Youqian.

“Unlike you, who always follows the rules, you let Prince Longji in without even fighting.” The voice of the unconscious Mo Youqian came from beside Yunyangzi.

Yunyangzi looked into the South Heavenly Gate and gave a bitter smile: "Who said I didn't?"

"Could it be..." Mo Youqian's expression changed.

The next moment, Yun Yangzi, who was sitting with his back against the pillar, blushed, his throat moved, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

"Yours isn't as realistic as mine. None of you actually got hit, so the spitting blood looks too fake," Mo Youqian complained. Suddenly, his nose twitched, and a fragrant aroma entered his nostrils.

"True blood?" Mo Youqian's eyes snapped open and his expression changed. He saw Yun Yangzi waving his hand with a bitter smile, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.

The so-called true blood is actually the most important blood in the body of an immortal. It contains the divine essence of countless years of cultivation. A single drop of blood is enough to shatter a mountain or transform into a lake.

The amount of blood he vomited was nothing; with the regenerative abilities of immortals, they could produce as much as they wanted. But this real blood…

"No, Lao Yun, don't scare me!" Mo Youqian exclaimed in surprise.

Yunyangzi waved his hand, looked into the Heavenly Gate, and moved his lips as if he were muttering something.

"No, Lao Yun, you lost your voice after being beaten?" Mo Youqian asked in surprise.

Yunyangzi looked at him with such anger that his liver ached. He clutched his chest and gritted his teeth, saying, "Mo Youqian, you bastard! Didn't you say... that His Highness is most afraid of... that Empress?"

"Ahem, then you must have remembered it wrong."

Mo Youqian waved his hand guiltily and said with a dry laugh, "I never said that."

Yunyangzi was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but he groaned as soon as he moved.

"No... Old Yun, is that young prince really that powerful?"

Mo Youqian said suspiciously, "If I didn't know your character, I would think you were faking it."

"Shut up, you!"

Yunyangzi looked into the Heavenly Gate and gave a bitter smile: "This prince... how should I put it, he just used a secret technique within sound waves. In terms of strength, he is no weaker than Erlang Shen back then... I think he is even stronger and more terrifying."

"How so?" Mo Youqian asked.

Yunyangzi gave a bitter smile and said, "Back then, Erlang Shen wielded an axe and hacked at anyone he saw, but afterward, how many had actually died? But just now..."

At this point, his expression suddenly turned serious.

"What just happened?" Mo Youqian asked suspiciously.

"I sensed a killing intent that wasn't strong, but it was very pure."

Yunyangzi turned to look at him, his face serious, and said, "If I don't step aside, I feel that His Highness will not hesitate to cut me down with his sword."

Mo Youqian scratched his head and looked into the Heavenly Gate: "My goodness, so I guess I hid correctly just now? But who angered this prince?"

“I think I heard a talisman…” Yunyangzi suddenly stopped.

The two exchanged a glance, then tacitly moved away from each other.

"How about... you don't get involved?" Mo Youqian suggested.

Yunyangzi said without hesitation, "What you... says seems to make some sense."

……

At this time, the lower world.

Shen Gongbao, Jiang Shang, and Guang Yaozi were surrounded by a swarm of mosquitoes that exuded an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

Shen Gongbao and Guang Yaozi used their magic to create a shield that barely held them off.

The mosquitoes slowly approached.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment, let's talk this out..." Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

Jiang Shang nervously peered out and said, "King Mosquito, we're just passing by. Your group activities like this might attract predators."

"Natural enemy?"

Hearing this, the mosquitoes laughed. The one in the center, about the size of an adult, sneered, "Even our natural enemies would run away when they see us."

Boo!
Before the words were finished, suddenly the air was filled with steam, and dark clouds began to gather from all directions.

A black lightning bolt shot out from the dark clouds, scattering the mosquito swarm with a few wild dashes...

"We are saved!"

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed.

In the sky, Yu Ding, who had rushed over, saw this scene and his expression changed slightly: "A black bird?"

The black lightning was striking a divine bird resembling a swallow, but larger and more ferocious, its jet-black body shrouded in mist.

And this bird... is none other than the legendary divine bird, the Black Bird!
