Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 512 The Clown is Us
"What do you mean?"

The red-scaled python was puzzled.

"That's good. You will know it later. Just practice here with peace of mind."

Xuan Du smiled, turned into Hong and left.

Here, in Xian City, Zhu Bajie came to meet up with Chenxiang and the others. Upon learning that Zhu Bajie had succeeded, everyone went to a restaurant and ordered a large table to celebrate.

Yang Jian sat by the window as usual and had hardly left in the past five years.

Chenxiang and the others deliberately sat nearby, stimulating Yang Jian with their laughter.

"What's the use of some people being so powerful if they don't have any friends and become a loner." Ao Chun mocked deliberately.

Yang Jian ignored him. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and pointed at a cultivator below: "Follow him."

Diao'er, who was lying in Yang Jian's arms, suddenly opened her eyes and jumped down.

Chenxiang and others were stunned, then came over to observe the monk.

"It's nothing special. You just sit here for five years and you can find the murderer?"

Everyone was confused and didn't know what Yang Jian was going to do.

"The murderer may not be an evil cultivator, Chenxiang, do you know why you are still a mortal and can use the Precious Lotus Lantern without ever refining it?" Yang Jian looked at Chenxiang.

"I am my mother's biological child, so I can naturally use my mother's magic weapon."

Chenxiang spoke very unconfidently. In fact, he was also confused. Later, when he learned more and more about spiritual practice, he couldn't understand why he could use the Precious Lotus Lantern, when the Precious Lotus Lantern clearly recognized its mother as its master.

"Deceiving yourself and others only adds to the joke." Yang Jian shook his head.

"Could it be that before Chenxiang was born, the Three Holy Mothers fused the Precious Lotus Lantern with Chenxiang and gave it to Chenxiang as a companion magic weapon?" Nezha speculated.

"Almost, but Yang Chan doesn't have that ability. It was me who injected the Precious Lotus Lantern into Chenxiang's body before he was conceived, and it became his companion magic weapon." Yang Jian nodded.

"Are you so kind? You probably want me to die in the womb, so that my mother has no reason to blame you, and I'm lucky enough to survive." Chenxiang didn't believe it at all.

"You should know that I didn't want to kill you at first. I even wanted to teach you how to practice and train you. I have always suppressed your mother's matter."

"But the matter has been exposed by the Fairy of Flowers. There is no way out. In order to protect you, we must modify the Heavenly Law to silence others. If the Heavenly Law is changed to allow the gods to have feelings, there will be chaos in the Heavenly Court."

"Your grandmother has always felt that she owed the Jade Emperor. If the Heavenly Palace were to go into chaos because of you and your mother, how would your grandmother cope with it?"

"So, between you and your grandmother and your mother, I choose to kill you."

Yang Jian shook his head and expressed his difficulties.

Chenxiang was speechless for a moment, and the others were also speechless. From Yang Jian's point of view, Yang Jian did nothing wrong.

"That's true. Once the Heavenly Laws are amended to allow the gods to fall in love, they will definitely marry each other, form cliques and engage in selfish activities. The Heavenly Court will be in chaos and the Jade Emperor's authority will be damaged. The consequences will be very serious." Nezha nodded.

"Then why did you put the Precious Lotus Lantern into Chenxiang's body?" Sun Wukong also became interested. It seemed that Yang Jian was not so annoying after all. From Yang Jian's perspective, he did have to make a choice.

There is nothing wrong in choosing your mother over your nephew.

He also knew Princess Yao Ji, who was quite stubborn, but it was undeniable that she was a good mother. As a son, Yang Jian was probably helpless and could only let his mother do what she wanted.

Regardless of whether what Yang Jian did was right or not, at least Yang Jian is much stronger than Nezha. Yang Jian saved his mother, but Nezha forced his mother to death. Even if he realizes it now, it is too late.

Nezha looked at Yang Jian with a complicated expression, remorse, regret, loneliness and envy. It was obvious that Nezha regretted what he had done. If he could do it again, Nezha would definitely make the same choice as Yang Jian and protect his mother. Nezha probably wanted to be Yang Jian now.

"Chenxiang, do you know the origin of the Precious Lotus Lantern?" Yang Jian asked.

"Yes, during the battle of the Creation of Heaven, the Chaos Green Lotus was shattered and turned into many magical weapons. The lotus head was split into three. The largest piece turned into the Qiankun Cauldron, one turned into the Dividing Treasure Rock, and the smallest piece turned into the Precious Lotus Lantern."

"After the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, the Precious Lotus Lantern was given to Saint Nuwa by Daozu. Later, it fell into the hands of Saint Lingxiao and was given to my mother."

Chenxiang nodded. These were not secrets. Ao Chun had told him.

"Yes, the Precious Lotus Lantern is not outstanding among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures, but it wins in terms of comprehensiveness. It has both offensive and defensive functions. It can assist in cultivation and heal injuries. It also contains some of the purification power unique to the Pure World White Lotus."

"When I injected the Precious Lotus Lantern into your body, it was to save your life and your mother's life."

"Do you know that when I found your mother, you were already three months old? I used my heavenly eyes to check and saw that you were shrouded in demonic energy. You were a demon fetus, born a demon. The entire prehistoric world could not tolerate you and your mother."

"So I put the Lotus Lantern into your body to purify the evil spirit and prevent you from being plotted against again."

Yang Jian told the truth.

"Hmm? Demonic energy? Where does the demonic energy come from?"

Chenxiang and others were stunned.

"I don't know. I have many enemies, such as Lingshan and Xianjiao. Maybe it was their plan, or maybe it was revenge from the Xiantian Demon Clan. When the Xiantian Demon Clan escaped from the Demon Abyss, I killed many of them."

"Your grandfather and your uncle fell into the Demonic Abyss and became demons. They attempted to unify the Demonic Abyss. The innate demons were unable to defeat them and could only desperately escape from the Demonic Abyss. They were hunted down by me and have a blood feud with our family."

Yang Jian shook his head. He had been investigating but still had no clues.

Everyone was scratching their heads as they listened, wondering why things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

"What do you mean by telling me this? Saying that you saved me? Want me to be grateful to you?" Chenxiang frowned, very extreme.

"I got the news that the Devil Heart Grass has a great effect on the demons, and its power of purification is a natural defense against the demons. Use the Precious Lotus Lantern to sense that cultivator." Yang Jian smiled.

Chen Xiang frowned, but still did as he was told. He was shocked: "Is that a demon? You suspect that Fairy Peony was harmed by the demons, so you have been waiting here for the demons to appear?"

"Yes, since there really are demons here, it is very likely that Fairy Peony was harmed by the demons. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, as long as someone takes the blame. The demons are a perfect target." Yang Jian nodded.

Chenxiang and others looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they had worked for five years in vain. They had laughed at Yang Jian before, but in the end they themselves were the clowns.

It seems that my IQ has also been hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.

I feel so aggrieved and depressed.

"You told us, aren't you afraid that we will track it down before you?" Chenxiang frowned.

"So what? Do you think I care? Or do you think the Jade Emperor will really do something to me?"

"The Demonic Calamity will be started by your grandfather. Your mother, your grandmother and I are in Heaven, so Heaven will be safe during the Demonic Calamity. Just because of this, it is destined that the Jade Emperor must protect me before the Demonic Calamity."

"Moreover, some ambitious people want to change the Heavenly Laws to make profits. Without me to help the Jade Emperor guard the Heavenly Laws, the Jade Emperor may not be able to withstand it."

Yang Jian smiled playfully.
