Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.
Chapter 232 Zhunti suffers a setback and is injured again.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty. I have brought the Princess back and have come to report."
Bo Huang and his ten companions, along with Long Ji, stood in the hall, respectfully bowing to the head of the table. Behind them, Yun Hua looked dazed, as if this scene also existed in her memory.
Yang Tianyou's face was pale, but he tightly protected Yao Ji and Yang Chan behind him.
Zhunti's eyes were bloodshot: "Bohuang, they have three children, how come they only brought back this one!"
"Heavenly Emperor, you guaranteed that ten Great Luo Golden Immortals would go, and absolutely nothing would go wrong!"
Haotian lowered his gaze, which flashed across Yang Tianyou's face before moving to Zhunti, causing him to involuntarily take two steps back.
"Bo Huang, you have released the son of a human immortal without permission. Do you know your crime?" Haotian's voice was full of majesty, and the immortals in the hall could not help but lower their heads.
"Your subject dares not, but did the Sage Zhunti not see what happened when we returned?" Bo Huang bowed, his voice not trembling at all, but filled with doubt and confusion as he looked at Zhunti.
"What happened?" Zhunti was taken aback. "After you received Princess Yunhua, I saw you heading straight for the Heavenly Court."
Haotian's voice was stern: "Bo Huang, with the Sage before you, quickly tell the truth, and do not disobey!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you." Bo Huang said, word by word, "When we returned, we encountered the three Ancestral Witches, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and Ju Mang, who said that they were acting on the orders of the Goddess Pingxin to take away my cousin Yang Jiao."
"Princess Yunhua seems to have lost her memory, but this human man and his cousins have no magical powers. We were afraid that they would be harmed and that we would be disobeying the Emperor's decree, so we thought of settling the matter peacefully and let them take Yang Jiao away."
"Saint Zhunti, as you know, the three Ancestral Witches are all in the late Quasi-Saint stage, while we are merely Great Luo Golden Immortals. Not to mention the sworn enmity between the Witches and Demons, we also have to protect the Eldest Princess. Is it really impossible for us to resist?"
Zhunti snorted, "Why didn't you call for help?"
Bo Huang said helplessly, "The Ancestral Witch brought the token of Lady Pingxin, which sealed the space, so we really can't move."
"What about the last one? It can't have been taken away by Dijiang, can it?" Zhunti sneered.
"No, not at all," Bo Huang replied honestly. "After parting ways with the Ancestral Witch, I met the Jade Cauldron Immortal of the Chan Sect. He said that he was destined to be a disciple of the Chan Sect, and that I should become a disciple of the Chan Sect."
"Yu Ding is merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how could he possibly defeat you all? Even if all twelve Golden Immortals joined forces, it wouldn't be enough!" Zhunti sneered, looking up at the heavens. "Heavenly Emperor, you deliberately let them release Yang Jian. As fellow Great Luo Golden Immortals, I don't believe they wouldn't dare to make a move."
"Zhunti, you have wantonly slandered the Heavenly Emperor! Do you know your crime?!"
"You want to punish me to protect these golden crows, is that it!" Zhunti sneered, sweeping his gaze across the assembled immortals in the hall. "What a selfless Heavenly Emperor!"
Bo Huang quickly said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. We really dare not make a move."
"What a joke! You dare to capture my disciple, but you dare not lay a hand on the direct disciple of the Chan Sect? Could it be that the Primordial Sage has arrived?"
"Exactly!" Bo Huang nodded directly. "The Sage's wisdom is as sharp as a torch. It is indeed the Primordial Sage himself who has come. Moreover, he did not descend as a phantom using the Dao-proving treasure as you did before. Instead, he has descended in his true form, just like you are now standing in the Lingxiao Palace."
"You..." Zhunti was furious, and he could easily tell that the giant golden crow was mocking him.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be shocked. Would someone as proud as Yuanshi Tianzun personally descend to the mortal world for the sake of a human immortal's son?
"Zhunti, how dare you be so presumptuous in my Heavenly Court!" Haotian shouted, and Zhunti spat out blood with a "pfft." He felt an overwhelming sound wave attack him, and he was injured without any power to fight back.
"You... broke through again?" Zhunti stared wide-eyed in disbelief, not even bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He just stared blankly at the throne, where he had just defeated his senior brother Yuanshi with a single word.
Haotian smiled disdainfully, "Do you think that I, who have been in charge of the two paths of Earth and Man for 50,000 years, cannot make any progress?"
"Since Senior Brother Yuanshi has come in person, you can't be blamed," Yaochi sighed. "You may join the ranks."
Bo Huang and the others bowed and said, "We obey the Empress Dowager's command."
Zhunti's face turned red, then white, then pale, and he stammered, unsure of what to say!
If all three sons of immortals were here, he could have taken the opportunity to make things difficult for them. But now that two saints have appeared, he has no right to comment on the matter with either of them.
Even he hadn't noticed anything unusual when these people returned. Zhunti looked suspiciously at the person above him, thinking it must have been this guy's doing.
"Princess Yunhua has had an affair with a mortal and given birth to a child of a celestial being. We beseech the Heavenly Emperor to punish her according to the Heavenly Rules!"
A smug glint flashed in Zhunti's eyes. "The dignified princess has broken the law. Let's see how you punish her!"
"Your Majesty, I think Yao Ji's condition is not quite right. She seems not to recognize us!" Yao Chi's eyes flickered, and she said in a deep voice, "Sage Zhunti, if the Princess has amnesia, it is not considered that she has knowingly broken the law, but rather that she has gone astray."
"Over the years, I have never heard of the Princess relying on her magic to cause trouble in the Nine Provinces. Moreover, even the Heavenly Court, which monitors the Three Realms, has not discovered this matter. Yet you have run into it."
"Fellow Daoist, this doesn't make sense!"
Zhunti's eyes were filled with rage: "You're spouting nonsense!"
Haotian also sighed, "I am also very curious, how come I didn't even sense Yao Ji's whereabouts, but you were the one who discovered them."
"However, the city gods and local deities near Wushan have never reported this over the years, and the laws of heaven and earth have been operating normally, which is enough to show that Yunhua has not abandoned his duties as a deity."
"And she's lost her memory!" Haotian's tone turned stern. "Zhunti, could it be that you were behind this, injuring Yaoji and then stirring things up so that you could report this to the Heavenly Court, causing us to lose face!"
"No...no..." Zhunti stammered. Amitabha, what's going on? When you think about it, it seems that's really the case.
Although he did discover Yao Ji's affair with a mortal early on, he only wanted to use it as leverage to threaten the Heavenly Emperor. He really didn't do it!
The immortals in the hall exchanged knowing glances, their expressions varied. Although they dared not discuss the sage, based on what His Majesty had said and the sage Zhunti's style of doing things, he was entirely capable of doing such a thing.
Zhunti trembled with rage: "Heavenly Emperor, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"
"No," Haotian sighed regretfully, "It's just a deduction based on your conduct, which fits perfectly, doesn't it?"
Zhunti closed his eyes briefly: "It wasn't me who did it!"
"Do you dare swear an oath to Heaven that you knew nothing about this from beginning to end?"
"On what grounds do I have to make a Heavenly oath!" Zhunti said angrily. "How can a sage make an oath so easily? You can't produce any evidence against me, but the evidence of Yao Ji's affair with a mortal is conclusive. She should be dealt with according to the Heavenly Rules as soon as possible."
Haotian smiled sarcastically, "How can a sage make an oath so easily?"
That's ridiculous. Anyone in the primordial world has the right to say that, except you and Jieyin. Have you forgotten how you two became saints?
The immortals looked at each other strangely, but in their hearts they were all laughing heartily.
Zhunti's expression stiffened. He had been careless and forgotten about this matter. However, he was used to being embarrassed. As long as he gave up the dough, it was no big deal.
Haotian noticed that although Yaoji's face was deathly pale, her brows held a stubbornness. Yang Tianyou noticed his gaze and stepped forward.
"Seducing the fairy was my fault alone, and it has nothing to do with the princess. I, Yang Tianyou, will bear all the blame."
