I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Pity."

Thousands of miles away, sensing that the apricot tree had been burned to ashes, the dragon-human figure sitting cross-legged on the green grass of the mountaintop slowly opened its eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive golden crow appeared in a beam of light, manifesting as the eldest prince in front of the dragon-human body: "There is only one chance to ambush them. The longer it goes on, the more vigilant they will become."

The dragon gazed at the deity before it and tentatively asked in a soft voice, "What do you mean?"

"Mobilize the demons of Nanshan to fight those few. I know you are no match for them, but it doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will bring my Golden Crow brothers and heavenly soldiers to their aid," the First Prince said coldly.

The dragon's cheek twitched, and it remained silent.

These words sound very warm and gentle, but in reality, they are treating the Nanshan demons that he had finally managed to subdue as disposable items.

"What, you have an opinion?"

Seeing that he did not respond for a long time, the eldest prince's gaze suddenly turned cold, like the eyes of a snake.

The dragon gave a bitter laugh: "I wouldn't dare... I'm just very curious, what deep-seated hatred do you have for Hou Yi that makes you so determined to kill him!"

Upon hearing this, scenes from the past flashed through his mind, causing the eldest prince to silently clench his fists:
"Now, all the gods recognize me as cruel, but they do not know the source of my cruelty."

But in fact, I was once a benevolent ruler, and even thought that the Heavenly Emperor's inaction was lazy governance, and I was eager to find out what was wrong with him and make up for his shortcomings.

If nothing unexpected happens, when I succeed to the throne, I will naturally be a diligent and benevolent Heavenly Emperor, and the Three Realms will become even better because of me.

Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Chang'e and Hou Yi!
First, the Heavenly Emperor brought back Chang'e, his illegitimate daughter, from the mortal realm, which sparked conflict with the Heavenly Empress. In an attempt to make amends for his mistake, the Heavenly Emperor lost his mind and entrusted the marriage of the gods to the jealous Heavenly Empress.

The diva is currently immersed in pain, so how could she possibly grant happiness to others?

Therefore, an imperial decree was issued, prohibiting private affairs in the celestial realm from then on.

At that time, I had been in love with the Goddess of Volcano for many years, and we were almost able to get married, but it was all ruined. From then on, we could only meet in secret.

During a secret rendezvous, due to the Volcano Goddess's poor planning, the demons trapped inside the volcano escaped the forbidden zone and disappeared from the human world.

If she were to be punished for her crimes, the Goddess of the Volcano would surely be cast into the realm of ghosts, suffering inhuman torment for countless lifetimes.

So we decided to fake the fact that the demons were still around to deceive the inspectors.

At this moment, Hou Yi, who was upright and incorruptible and strictly adhered to the heavenly rules, appeared. He insisted on investigating to the end. I tried my best to stop him, but he still broke into the volcano and saw the empty forbidden area.

At that time, I begged him to be lenient, hoping he would show leniency, since government orders are temporary and might change in the future.
But Hou Yi, that beast, only cared about the law and had no compassion; he insisted on reporting it.

Therefore, the goddess of volcanoes was brought to the heavenly court for interrogation, but even under the most severe tortures, she did not confess to me.

She didn't betray me, and she didn't even look at me while enduring immense pain. In the end, after being tortured in every way, she was cast into the realm of ghosts to continue her punishment.

It was at this time that I learned that the volcano goddess was already carrying my child...

As a husband, I cannot save the volcano goddess. As a father, if I cannot even save my own child, what face do I have to be the eldest prince?

Therefore, after countless schemes, I finally managed to switch the child out and raise him in the human world.

Guess what? At that moment, Hou Yi reappeared. Because the child was tainted by ghostly energy, he mistook him for an evil spirit and shot him dead with an arrow…

At this point, the prince's sinister expression vanished, replaced by two streams of tears that slowly rolled down his cheeks, as if he were weeping for the poor child.

The dragon was completely bewildered.

He originally thought the eldest prince was purely evil, after all, there is no shortage of born bad people in this world.

But after hearing the eldest prince's story, he couldn't help but feel that Hou Yi was the bad one!

At this moment, the eldest prince slowly wiped away the tears on his face and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Do you know what the most ironic thing is?"

"What...is it?" the dragon asked.

"The most ironic thing is that Hou Yi changed later, he changed!"

The eldest prince gritted his teeth: "The guardians of the heavenly laws, who were once so steadfast in upholding them, have suddenly begun to pursue so-called human compassion."

For this, he even went to great lengths, even breaking the law to hunt down your brothers, which earned him the love and respect of the world.

How ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous! Why didn't he change his ways sooner or later, but only after he destroyed my family and killed my son?

Jiaolong: "..."

"Now you understand? I didn't target him on purpose. I just want revenge for my wife and son. Hou Yi must die!"

I secretly let you escape, just so I could use you as a weapon to completely destroy him.

"If you can't complete this task, you'll be of no value to me." The eldest prince said coldly.

The dragon sighed, "I understand everything. I'll return to Nanshan now, mobilize the demons, and hunt down Hou Yi."

He knew very well that once he heard this secret, he would have no reason to refuse.

Or rather, if he refused again, the eldest prince would really dare to kill him.

As the other party said, once a knife has lost its value, there is no need to keep it...

half a month later.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Valley.

Upon entering the valley, Qin Yao scanned the entire picturesque Taoist temple with his Heavenly Eye and shook his head, saying, "There isn't one here either."

They recently visited an underground temple on the banks of the Yellow River, but did not find the true form of Fuxi there.

After many more days of travel, they finally arrived at the second residence of Fuxi, only to find that they had come up empty-handed again...

"If it's not in the Yellow River Palace, nor in the Immortal Valley, then there's only one place left," Consort Luo said, glancing sideways.

"Where is it?" the Jade Rabbit asked curiously.

"Fire Cloud Cave!" Consort Luo said in a deep voice.

Qin Yao's eyes flashed, and he instantly thought of the Earth Emperor and the Human Emperor.

"How far is it from here to Huoyun Cave?" Chang'e asked.

Consort Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Based on our previous walking speed, it would take at least ten days to half a month to walk."

"Since we know the road is long, let's set off as soon as possible," Qin Yao said with a smile.

The three women nodded in agreement, but just as they turned around, they suddenly saw a dark cloud rushing towards them, along with a cloud of dust on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the dark clouds were not clouds at all, but rather countless ferocious birds of prey; the smoke and dust were indeed dust, but they were stirred up by countless hideous beasts as they ran.

"They're coming for us!"

Sensing the chilling killing intent surging within the beast tide, Qin Yao silently drew the Four Fiends Swords and spoke in a deep voice.

Consort Luo immediately said, "Let's go into the Valley of Immortals to avoid their sharp edge."

"You all go in, I'll deal with them to prevent them from damaging Immortal Valley." Qin Yao manipulated the Four Fiend Swords into a chaotic sword domain, which, like a thick fog, swarmed back at the countless beasts.

In his view, although these two ferocious beasts were powerful, they were not powerful enough to make him, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

Just kidding, he's a true master of the Dao, not some narcissist.

"Consort Luo, you may go in." Chang'e summoned a celestial sword with a flick of her wrist and smiled.

Seeing the ferocious beast getting closer and closer, Luo Pin, feeling a chill in her heart, immediately grabbed the Jade Rabbit's robe and flew into the barrier with her: "Don't be reckless. If you can't resist, escape in quickly."

Chang'e smiled and nodded, then flew up and rushed towards the birds that resembled dark clouds in the sky.

On the ground, the moment the Chaos Sword Domain made contact with the beasts in front, it chopped many of them into mincemeat. It continued to advance in this way, and in the face of absolute level suppression, all that was left behind was a pool of blood, with not even a single piece of intact bone to be found.

Not far away, the dragon standing beside the eldest prince watched this scene through the Heavenly Mirror, its face twitching with heartache.

These were his soldiers, the foundation of his revival, but under Hou Yi's sword, they were all reduced to nothing!

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer. He transformed back into his original form and charged towards Qin Yao with a dragon's roar that shook the heavens and the earth. His body shone with divine light, like a vast ocean crashing down.

Qin Yao raised his head slightly, then suddenly changed his sword stance, letting the other party rush into his domain: "Dragon, my domain can block the Heavenly Mirror's prying eyes. Tell me, what exactly are you up to?"

The dragon suddenly stopped, pointing to the golden headband on its head: "I had no choice... Now that I think about it, how ridiculous were the ambitions I told you back then. The Crown Prince released me with the intention of turning me into a knife to kill you."

Qin Yao nodded and said, "If you trust me, I might be able to help you remove this golden hoop."

The dragon seemed to be deep in thought, and gradually withdrew its divine radiance: "Taking it down is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be able to keep it from the Crown Prince."

"Let me consider."

Qin Yao raised his hand and pressed it on the golden hoop, exploring it with the laws of nature several times. Then he said with certainty, "I can take it off at any time. If you are worried that the First Prince will attack you once you take it off, you can wear it for now. I will help you remove this golden hoop when it is safe to do so in the future."

The dragon fell silent, or rather, struggled.

So, does that mean he doesn't have to follow the Crown Prince down this path to the bitter end?

But at that moment, the dazzling golden sunlight, like countless golden spears, forcefully pierced through the Chaos Sword Domain.

Immediately afterwards, eight golden crows roared in, clearing away all the sword energy and forcibly suppressing the Four Fiend Swords back to their original forms.

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow.

These eight golden crows are much stronger than the golden crows in the Lotus Lantern!
However, this is understandable, since these eight were the eight golden crows of the ancient Heavenly Court. Their father was the ancient emperor Di Jun, who was equivalent to a demon emperor in the primordial world...

"Hou Yi, do you think you can start over just because you've changed your appearance? Dream on!" the Great Golden Crow roared. "This day next year will be your death day!"

Having said that, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of true solar fire, which distorted space and time, and charged fiercely toward Qin Yao.

Qin Yao knew that he could not disperse this true fire, otherwise even a tiny bit of it falling on the mountaintop would turn the entire mountain into scorched earth.

Therefore, he directly summoned the Heaven-Slaying Sword. On both sides, eight lifelike golden crow statues appeared, releasing a powerful suction force that drew the true fire of the sun directly into the sword.

The eldest prince was stunned.

The power of the Golden Crow?

If a golden crow is carved on the sword, can one possess the power of the golden crow?

The key question is, can this golden crow also absorb its own solar fire?

This scene severely challenged his understanding, leaving him momentarily stunned.

However, he was stunned, but Qin Yao was not. He poured all his old and new grudges into the Heaven-Slaying Strike.

The eldest prince suddenly realized what was happening and tried to escape, but he was too slow. The sword blade grazed his right foot, severing his Achilles tendon.

"what!"

The eldest prince cried out in anguish, his voice shaking the heavens and startling the emperor and empress who were playing chess in the celestial palace.

Emperor Jun immediately activated the Heavenly Mirror, only to see his eldest son running desperately, with a divine sword carrying the aura of the blazing sun chasing after him.

"presumptuous!"

Empress Xihe was furious and her body vanished from the spot in an instant.

Di Jun was slightly startled and hurriedly followed to the battlefield, only to see Xi He knock away the Fiery Sun Divine Sword with a flick of her sleeve and protect the eldest prince behind her.

"Empress... Mother, my Achilles tendon has been severed!" the eldest prince cried out in terror.

Actually, what terrified him was not that his Achilles tendon was severed, but that he couldn't heal it on his own.

Xihe reached out and touched the wound on the eldest prince's foot, trying to reconnect the tendon. However, the tendon, which had been severed in two, did not respond, causing her expression to turn sinister: "Houyi, you deserve to die!"

Qin Yao recalled the Heaven-Slaying Sword, with the four swords circling around him, and said coldly, "You seem to have misunderstood the situation. The current situation is that your son has gathered demons to kill me, a hero of the human race. As for me, I am merely acting in response."

Feeling the gazes of powerful beings from all over the Three Realms, Xihe fell silent.

The emperor and empress descending to the mortal realm together, exuding their full power, was a momentous event that shook the world and naturally attracted all sorts of attention.

However, this very normalcy has become a shackle for her now.

After all, she couldn't lose all face and distort the truth in front of so many powerful figures.

Even so, you can't sever his Achilles tendon.

After a long silence, Xihe suppressed her anger and said, "In that case, without a divine medicine to cure him, he will become a cripple."

Qin Yao said coldly, "Is that what you're saying? You're allowed to bring men to kill me, but I'm not allowed to lay a finger on him?"

Xihe said, "There must be some misunderstanding here!"

The eldest prince shouted, "That's right, I'm not here to kill him, I'm here to save Chang'e; this guy actually kidnapped Chang'e, his crime is unforgivable."

Xihe was overjoyed and immediately said, "So that's how it is. Houyi, are you afraid to admit your mistake?"

Chang'e immediately stepped forward and said, "I wasn't abducted by him."

"you shut up."

Xihe angrily rebuked, "You are clearly with him now, not the other way around. Is it fate?"

What a coincidence!
"Your Majesty, Hou Yi has abducted a celestial maiden without permission and violently resisted arrest, even severing the eldest prince's Achilles tendon. I beg you to punish him severely."

At this moment, three terrifying divine rainbows suddenly streaked across the sky, manifesting as three people of different ages in front of the Immortal Valley.

Among them, the old man had a full head of white hair, wore hemp clothing, and held a medicine hoe in his hand.

The middle-aged man wore a red robe, had long hair draped over his shoulders, and had a kind face.

The young man held a long sword, had a well-proportioned figure, and bright, star-like eyes.

Three people, three different auras, three different divine charms, but they had one thing in common: they were all very strong, all supreme immortals... (End of this chapter)
