Chapter 578 Ten Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals (First Update)

"Yes, senior brother, please leave Master to us!"

The three Yang siblings immediately nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and together they used magic to ride the clouds, taking Jade Cauldron Immortal back to Jade Spring Mountain.

Before parting ways, Master Yuding reminded Li Chuan to make sure to buy plenty of his favorite Green Bamboo Wine.

After parting ways with his master and fellow disciples, Li Chuan turned around and immediately flew towards Guanjiang Estuary.

According to the timeline, the Jade Emperor will send the Golden Crow and Marshal Tianpeng with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to capture Yao Ji today, so he naturally has to go and see.

He wouldn't stop Yao Ji from being captured and imprisoned on Peach Mountain, because without this incident as a starting point, Yang Jian's strength wouldn't have increased so quickly, and he wouldn't have rebelled against the Heavenly Court.

In this way, the Jade Emperor would not realize the Heavenly Court's lack of strength, nor would he take the subsequent Investiture of the Gods seriously, which would go against Yuanshi's calculations.

Moreover, Yao Ji violated the heavenly rules first, so his direct rescue was not in the right.

Of course, there are still some things that can be done, such as saving Yang Tianyou.

The Heavenly Laws stipulate that the gods in Heaven cannot have the seven emotions and six desires. As a goddess of the fourth heaven of the Desire Realm, it is indeed reasonable for Yao Ji to be arrested for violating the Heavenly Laws.

To be honest, if immortals were to fall in love every day, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Three Realms.

However, Yang Tianyou was just a mortal, and there were no heavenly rules that forbade mortals from having the seven emotions and six desires, so he did not violate the heavenly rules.

Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan were all innocent and had not violated any heavenly rules.

Only Yao Ji violated the heavenly rules.

The Jade Emperor ordered them to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell because they had no powerful backers. Just like an emperor can kill a commoner with a simple order.

If a commoner gains power and has a powerful backer that even the emperor fears, then as long as he doesn't commit a crime, the emperor can't do anything about him.

"Thankfully, we're not too late!"

Seeing the sky above Guanjiang Estuary filled with countless heavenly soldiers and generals from afar, Li Chuan knew that things were not over yet.

"Change!"

Using the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he transformed into a bee and quietly sneaked inside.

"By imperial decree, Yao Ji is to be apprehended and brought to justice, and Yang Tianyou, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan are to be executed on the spot and cast into the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reborn!"

Holding the Golden Wheel of the Sun, the Great Golden Crow looked coldly at Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou opposite him and announced.

Behind him stood the reluctant Marshal Tianpeng and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals clad in armor.

"Great Golden Crow, you were raised by your aunt. Your aunt is willing to go to the Heavenly Court with you to accept punishment. I only beg you to spare your uncle, cousin, and younger cousins ​​for the sake of our blood ties."

Upon seeing this, Yao Ji's face showed a pleading expression.

However, the Great Golden Crow was clearly not a god who valued family ties; his answer was very firm:

"The Great Golden Crow only cares about imperial edicts, not kinship!"

At this moment, Yang Tianyou stepped forward, taking full responsibility upon himself, attempting to exchange his own life for the safety of Yao Ji and the three children.

He believed that he was just a mortal, the only one who was not related to the Jade Emperor by blood, while Yao Ji was the Jade Emperor's sister and her three children were also related to the Jade Emperor by blood. He thought that as long as he died, this matter should be over.

Although he will be cast into the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated, Yao Ji and her three children will be able to go to heaven and become immortals.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the ruthlessness of the Jade Emperor and the Great Golden Crow. Even with Marshal Tianpeng's support, the Great Golden Crow remained unmoved and directly waved his hand to issue the attack order.

Countless arrows shot towards Yang Tianyou from the sky, but Yao Ji instantly dissipated them with her Heavenly Eye.

Then came a chaotic battle.

Yao Ji possesses the cultivation level of a peak Golden Immortal, and with the assistance of the innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Eye, she is already close to the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, due to the damage to his physical body and the fact that he shares a heart with the mortal Yang Tianyou, his cultivation level has been significantly reduced. At most, he can now only exert the strength of a peak Golden Immortal, and he also has to protect Yang Tianyou, who is a mortal.

As the leader of the Ten Golden Crows, the Great Golden Crow is blessed with a natal golden wheel and has a cultivation level close to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Marshal Tianpeng, who was standing next to him, was also at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm as the commander of the Milky Way. Even though he was holding back, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were not to be underestimated.

So in the end, Yang Tianyou was stabbed to death with a sword, and Yao Ji, who was in a state of mental chaos, was also seriously injured and captured by the Golden Crow.

"We have not found Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan. According to the servants of the Yang family, the three of them were sent away by the eldest princess ten years ago and only come back occasionally. It has been half a year since they last came back."

After a search, a celestial soldier reported to the Great Golden Crow.

The Great Golden Crow immediately turned to look at Yao Ji:

"Yaoji, tell me where you sent the sinners Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan?"

His mission this time was not only to capture Yao Ji, but also to execute the other four. Now that he had only killed Yang Tianyou, he obviously could not go back and report.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ji let out a bitter laugh:

"You think I'd tell you? You'll never find them!"

She is now extremely grateful that she sent her three children to the Golden Cloud Cave on Jade Spring Mountain; otherwise, they would all have been killed by the Great Golden Crow, except for her.

She truly never imagined that the Jade Emperor would be so ruthless towards her, his younger sister, and the Great Golden Crow towards her, his aunt.

"I think Your Highness, why don't we go back first? The Princess will definitely not reveal the whereabouts of her three children. If we keep dragging this out, His Majesty will blame us, and we won't be able to bear the consequences."

At this moment, Marshal Tianpeng suddenly spoke up to persuade the Great Golden Crow.

He felt guilty towards the eldest princess because when the three-headed dragon descended to the mortal realm, he stopped Yao Ji for a while out of sympathy, which prevented Yao Ji from catching up with the three-headed dragon and led to all the subsequent events.

So at this moment, he wanted the Golden Crow to withdraw its troops first, and perhaps if Yao Ji went up and made peace with the Jade Emperor, he would not kill Yao Ji's three children anymore.

"Marshal Tianpeng, then you shall escort Yaoji back to the Heavenly Court to report to His Majesty. I will lead the troops to continue guarding this place. I refuse to believe that with Yang Tianyou's body here, his three children will not return."

If one year isn't enough, try two. If two years aren't enough, try three.

After pondering for a moment, the Great Golden Crow glanced at Marshal Tianpeng and replied.

Marshal Tianpeng, carrying his nine-toothed rake, immediately made a troubled expression:

"My strength is no match for Your Highness's. If I escort her alone, and the princess runs away halfway, the consequences would be dire."

"I'm allocating 50,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to you. If they still run away, then it will be your responsibility, Marshal Tianpeng. Don't blame me for reporting this truthfully when the Jade Emperor blames you!"

The Great Golden Crow warned expressionlessly.

Marshal Tianpeng had no choice but to approach Yao Ji and bow respectfully.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Meanwhile, the eldest princess overheard their conversation. Despite her severe injuries, she secretly channeled her inner power and quietly moved the innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Eye, from underground onto Yang Tianyou's corpse.

Li Chuan naturally saw all of this.
