"Elder sister, cousin, that wretched child is a disciple of Lishan Sect, yet he trespassed into the Underworld and stole immortal herbs from Heaven. For Xu Xian, it may seem like a good deed, but what if others follow suit in the future?"

Xuan Tian rebuked the two, "How dare she flood Jinshan Temple! What have the lives of those living beneath Jinshan Temple done? Have you considered how many lives will die in this flood?"

Yang Chan's eyes dimmed, but Xuan Tian sneered, "You two managed to disperse the flood in time and stop her, which prevented any harm. Otherwise, it would have been heavenly soldiers and generals arriving by now."

Longji sighed, "We know, but I cannot abandon her."

Xuan Tian's expression turned cold: "Does my royal sister intend to fight me? You're protecting this monster like this; don't you know she's already broken the heavenly rules?"

"Humans and immortals cannot unite, nor can humans and demons. If it weren't for my brother's sense of fulfilling his vow today, heavenly soldiers and generals would likely have come. Does Your Majesty also intend to rebel?"

Seeing Longji remain silent, Xuantian roared, "Turtle and Snake Generals, capture Bai Suzhen at once!"

"Buzz—"

A divine light, imbued with compassionate power, blocked the two. Yang Chan's lotus lamp emanated a powerful aura, causing the tortoise and snake generals to retreat continuously.

"The Lotus Lantern!" Xuan Tian's gaze froze, and he gave Yang Chan a deep look. "Is this how you use the magical treasure bestowed upon you by Father?"

Yang Chan looked ashamed, and Long Ji threw a pearl at her, saying, "Say less!"

"bite--"

A black divine spear, wreathed in malevolent energy, shot out, blocking the Creation Pearl in mid-air. Xuan Tian's well-defined hand slowly grasped the God-Slaying Spear, his expression turning solemn: "Sister, are you going to fight me?"

Longji said helplessly, "I didn't want to, but I really have some unspeakable difficulties."

Xuan Tian nodded: "If you don't want to talk about it, then that's fine."

He tilted his head and looked at the spirit official behind him: "You all form the True Martial Battle Formation to help the Turtle and Snake Generals capture that demon for me."

After speaking, the hundred spirit officials walked directly behind the Turtle and Snake Generals, and poured all their power into them. A phantom figure with disheveled hair and bare feet, wearing a black robe and golden armor, appeared. It stood on a divine turtle, with a black snake hidden in the shadows. The demon-slaying golden light filled the void as it rushed downwards.

The void was filled with surging spiritual energy and lurking killing intent. The God-Slaying Spear emitted its spear light, but it could not break through the defenses of the Creation Pearl.

Longji frowned. It was not a good look for siblings to fight, but this guy was really straightforward, and Bai Suzhen had given them a handle to use against him. It was really annoying.

Seeing that Yang Chan seemed to be backing down and didn't want to stop her, she was speechless. Who was she doing this for?

Little did she know that the Heavenly Flower Falling Flag and the Primordial Lotus Diagram were both on Yang Chan's person; the Three Treasures of Heaven, Earth, and Man could definitely withstand the True Martial Battle Formation.

"Young man, how about you make an exception?" Longji asked tentatively.

Seeing the cold light gleaming from her sleeve, Xuan Tian quickly took a few steps back: "You're going to use the Causal Divine Spear?"

A divine talisman appeared in his palm, and the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array was faintly visible.

"There's no need to go this far," Longji said with a wry smile.

"You struck first," Xuan Tian said calmly.

Looking at the situation before her, Yang Chan sighed deeply, "So be it!"

She put away the Lotus Lantern and made way for him. Xuan Tian was surprised, and Long Ji couldn't help but call out, "Chan'er."

"Cousin, cousin, please stop fighting!" Yang Chan shook her head. "Over the years, my master and aunt have been teaching me to understand human emotions. Now I have found Bai Suzhen, but a love tribulation is still a love tribulation. It is not something that can be easily seen through."

"My master and aunt only want me to safely pass through the tribulation, but in the end, one must rely on oneself to cultivate."

Xuan Tian nodded: "Cousin, you are right. It's just a love tribulation. With so many of us helping you, why should you be so afraid?"

Yang Chan shook her head: "It's just a waste of Master and Aunt's good intentions."

"If you can see clearly through this and have a clear understanding of the Dao, I'm sure your mother and Aunt Nuwa will be happy," Xuantian comforted him.

Seeing that the tortoise and snake generals were approaching Bai Suzhen, a look of worry flashed across Longji's brow.

"How dare you!" A stern shout came from below, and Xuan Tian's expression changed, while Long Ji and Yang Chan felt a pang of guilt.

"You...you two..." Xuan Tian's finger trembled as he pointed at the two of them, his gaze shifting to Bai Suzhen's abdomen, where a life force was emerging, which had been previously concealed by the two of them.

Xuan Tian was furious, his voice spitting out through clenched teeth: "You sons of demons and humans, how dare you! Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your father?"

Longji remained silent, while Xuantian's expression changed: "Does Mother know?"

If the Empress Dowager also knew, this matter would be extremely serious. As the Empress Dowager, she actually allowed the birth of a child born to a human and a demon. The previous union between a human and a demon had already violated the heavenly rules, and this matter would be even more serious.

"I don't know." Longji took a breath. "Otherwise, why would the two of us help her hide it?"

Xuan Tian was in a bind. It was difficult for a child born to be both human and demon, so they were extremely rare in the Three Realms. Who would have thought that it would happen by such a coincidence?

Longji helplessly shrugged: "It was an accidental discovery. Chan'er and I couldn't very well abort the child!"

"A child of a human and a snake demon!" Xuan Tian rubbed his temples. "A mortal and a snake demon, what, you're actually planning to send them before Aunt Nuwa?"

Longji rolled her eyes at him: "Stop making sarcastic remarks!"

Xuan Tian closed his eyes. Bai Suzhen was pregnant. She might give birth to a pure human, or she might give birth to a half-demon, half-human child. By the time the child was born, it would be too late!

"Let's skip the Heavenly Lightning Punishment, shall we?" Longji whispered.

"Am I such a heartless person?" Xuan Tian said irritably, then ordered the Turtle and Snake Generals, "Capture her and suppress her under the True Martial Pagoda!"

Seeing the two of them looking relaxed, Xuan Tian sneered, "Don't be too happy yet. Suppressing her for ten thousand years would be too little. This demon child is enough to exhaust all her merits."

Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian practiced medicine among humans for many years and did many good deeds, so they had accumulated some merit.

"You've kept this a secret for a long time!" Xuan Tian was somewhat speechless. "This matter can't be hidden from Father and Mother. You will come with me to Heaven later to apologize to Father and Mother."

Longji and Yangchan nodded repeatedly; they had to admit their mistake!

"Amitabha!" A Buddhist chant came from afar, the air was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and the phantoms of grass and trees appeared. The Buddha, with a halo of light floating behind his head, slowly appeared.

"Pharmacist, what brings you here?" Longji frowned.

Xuan Tian's heart sank. Since the rise of Buddhism, the Nine Provinces could be said to have countless families living as Buddhists. The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had been openly and secretly fighting for fortune. Confucianism was a little better, as it had the imperial court as its foundation, but Buddhism and Taoism were truly in direct confrontation.

This Jinshan Temple is the lineage of the Medicine Buddha, and there is one of his relics in the Leifeng Pagoda.

"I sensed something unusual happening at Leifeng Pagoda, and on a whim, I came to take a look." The Medicine Master chuckled. "The Crown Prince and Princess are gathered here, and the Pure Moonlight Bodhisattva is also here. It's quite lively."

Yang Chan remained silent, accepting the pure moonlight. Indeed, there is a Bodhisattva position in Buddhism.

"Pharmacist, you've only come here for the sake of the people at Jinshan Temple. We haven't harmed them," Xuan Tian said calmly, giving a wink to the Turtle and Snake Generals, signaling them to capture Bai Suzhen and take her back immediately.

Fortunately, the elixir given to her earlier dispelled Bai Suzhen's demonic aura; otherwise, the pharmacist would have recognized it immediately.

The pharmacist smiled and looked at Jinshan Temple. It was indeed a good place; there was a mortal who practiced medicine. It was truly a connection between him and the temple.

He slowly descended from the clouds, about to enter Jinshan Temple, when he unexpectedly approached the Turtle and Snake Generals.

"How dare you!" Long Jixuantian roared, but the pharmacist had already arrived beside Bai Suzhen. The Leifeng Pagoda shot out a divine light that blocked the tortoise and snake generals for a moment. He had already detected Bai Suzhen's condition.

"The son of a demon?" The pharmacist looked surprised. Feeling the sharp light behind him, his expression changed slightly. A phantom of a world appeared and devoured it. Soon, he showed a look of heartache. His treasure!

Seeing Longji and the other two land, the pharmacist sneered, "How can such monsters be allowed to live!"

As he spoke, he slapped Bai Suzhen in the abdomen!
