He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 580 Standoff at the Cave (First Update)

Yuquan Mountain, Jinxia Cave.

Li Chuan returned Yang Tianyou's soul to his body, then took out the Nanming Li Huo Sword and pierced Yang Tianyou with a single strike.

A moment later, under the influence of the rebirth power of the Nanming Li Huo Sword, Yang Tianyou woke up completely unharmed.

"Father, what exactly happened? Who killed you? Where did Mother go? And why are those heavenly soldiers and generals surrounding our house?"

Looking at his three children, Yang Tianyou's eyes reddened, and he recounted the whole story.

"What? Your wife is actually the Jade Emperor's sister?"

No wonder, no wonder my three disciples are so talented!

Upon hearing this, Master Yuding was greatly shocked. He had never known that the mother of his three disciples was Yao Ji, a goddess from the fourth heaven of the Desire Realm; otherwise, he might not have accepted the three disciples.

Yao Ji violated the heavenly rules by secretly marrying a mortal, which meant she was destined to be arrested by the Heavenly Court. Taking her three children as disciples would inevitably cause her trouble.

Although the Chan Sect was not afraid of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor was, after all, the nominal ruler of the Three Realms.

"I must go save my mother!"

Upon hearing that his mother had been captured, Yang Jian, who was still quite impulsive at the time, immediately wanted to use his escape technique to go to Guanjiang Estuary to rescue his mother.

"I'm going too!"

Yang Jiao was more composed than Yang Jian, but he still couldn't sit still.

Only Yang Chan remained somewhat calm and pulled her two older brothers aside to persuade them:

"Eldest brother, second brother, when our eldest brother rescued our father from Guanjiang Estuary, he didn't see our mother. This means that our mother has already been captured and taken back to Heaven. If you go now, you will only encounter those heavenly soldiers and generals who are preparing to capture us."

"Then let's storm the Heavenly Court and rescue Mother!"

Yang Jian gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Master Yuding quickly stopped Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, saying in a panic:

"My two little devils, are you looking for death?"

With your meager cultivation levels, you think you can storm the Heavenly Court? You can't even get through the South Heavenly Gate.

"Your mother, Yao Ji, was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, yet she was still defeated!"

"Master, don't stop me, I must go to Heaven to rescue my mother."

Yang Jian tried to get around Yu Ding Zhenren, but Yu Ding Zhenren simply grabbed Yang Jian's waist and wouldn't let go.

He knew that if his three disciples stayed in the cave, they could still be protected in the name of the Chan Sect disciples. However, if they left to go to the Heavenly Court to save their mother, it would be a blatant violation of the Heavenly Laws, and they would not be able to be protected at all.

"How dare you! Stop right now!"

At this moment, Yang Tianyou spoke up.

"None of you are allowed to leave here. Your mother instructed you to cultivate diligently here and obey your master's words. Have you all forgotten?"

He was heartbroken that Yao Ji had been captured, but his priority now was to ensure the safety of his three children. He couldn't bear to watch them go to their deaths in Heaven.

"But what about Mother?"

Yang Jiao and Yang Jian dared not disobey their father's words, but they were very unwilling in their hearts.

At this moment, Yang Chan's eyes darted around, and she turned to look at Li Chuan, who had remained silent:

"Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

In her eyes, her senior brother Li Qing was much more reliable than their master, and in this situation, it was best to listen to his opinion.

Li Chuan pretended to ponder for a moment before replying:

"Of course we must save your mother, but we can't be so reckless. The Heavenly Court is the legitimate authority in the Three Realms, and it has many powerful experts. Your strength is too low. Stay in your cave and cultivate properly while I, your senior brother, go to the Heavenly Court to gather information!"

After saying this, he smiled at the hesitant Jade Cauldron Immortal and said:

"Master, rest assured, I have now mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and can transform into all things. No one will be able to see through my disguise, nor will the Heavenly Court be able to find any fault with my Chan Sect."

He knew what Jade Cauldron Immortal was worried about.

"Okay, you'd better be careful and make sure there's no conflict."

Yu Ding Zhenren released Yang Jian and gave him two instructions.

He was quite confident in his eldest apprentice, who had a steady personality and shouldn't cause any trouble.

"Before that, we need to deal with these people outside."

At this moment, Li Chuan suddenly turned his head to look at the cave entrance.

A voice just then came from over there:

"There's a cave over there. You few go in and search it. His Highness said that every corner of Jade Spring Mountain must be searched. We must find the three Yang siblings and execute them on the spot!"

"They are heavenly soldiers and generals!"

Upon hearing the conversation outside, Master Yu Ding scratched his head in a panic.

"You've come at the right time. You all go inside one of the spatial magic treasures I made and hide there. I'll handle things."

Li Chuan roared as he absorbed Yu Ding Zhenren and the others into the Tsukuyomi world:

"Who goes there, daring to trespass into Jinxia Cave!"

Immediately afterward, the Unyielding Dragon Roar roared out, and a small team of heavenly soldiers who were preparing to search the cave were immediately blown into the sky.

Meanwhile, the Great Golden Crow, having heard the commotion from afar, quickly led a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals over.

Who are you?

Seeing that the person in front of him was dressed in a Taoist robe, the Great Golden Crow did not make a move immediately.

Li Chuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the cave entrance:

"I am Li Qing, a disciple of Yu Ding Zhenren under the tutelage of Yuanshi Tianzun. And who are you, daring to trespass into Yu Ding Zhenren's cultivation cave? Do you wish to become enemies of my Chan Sect?"

A big label was slapped on their head first.

Upon hearing this, the Great Golden Crow frowned:

"I am the Great Golden Crow of Heaven, sent down to the mortal realm by order of the Jade Emperor to capture the wanted criminals Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan. I did not intend to offend them."

Being an enemy of the Chan Sect is a huge accusation. Even his father, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, had to give way to Yuanshi Tianzun. Naturally, he would not want to clash with the Chan Sect unless absolutely necessary.

Li Chuan laughed upon hearing this:

"So it was Your Highness from Heaven. It seems to be a misunderstanding. This Jade Spring Mountain is the Daoist temple of my master, True Man Jade Cauldron. There are no criminals from Heaven here. Please have Your Highness lead your men out and leave so as not to disturb our secluded cultivation."

"As far as I know, September 9th is the day when Xuanmen disciples go into seclusion in Kunlun. Did you and Master Yuding not go?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Great Golden Crow.

The entire Jade Spring Mountain has been searched, but the Yang siblings have not been found. Either the Yang siblings are not on Jade Spring Mountain, or they are hiding in the cave of Jade Cauldron Immortal below.

"My master has naturally gone, but he left behind his worthless disciple to guard the cave."

Li Chuan replied with a smile.

The Great Golden Crow nodded:

"In that case, please step aside. Once we have searched the cave, if there are no criminals from the Heavenly Court, we will immediately withdraw from Jade Spring Mountain."

"Your Excellency, are you perhaps deaf? I have already stated that I was left behind to guard the cave. Without my master's orders, no one is permitted to enter the cave, not a single person!"

Li Chuan explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Great Golden Crow's suspicions deepened:

"How dare you obstruct the Heavenly Court from apprehending a wanted criminal! What is your punishment?!"

"The cave is filled with the cultivation techniques and Taoist arts of the Chan Sect. What are you, Great Golden Crow, trying to force your way in?!"

The Golden Crow's voice was loud, but Li Chuan's voice was even louder.
