Chapter 583 The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's Headache (Second Update)

"Hahaha, your master, Jade Cauldron Immortal, is too kind. This is simply my duty. As for this contribution to the world, the Heavenly Venerable is no less deserving."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately smiled and stroked his beard.

Back when the Jade Emperor was still a pageboy by Hongjun's side, the Three Pure Ones were already powerful beings in the Three Realms.

Later, he was fortunate enough to be granted the identity of the Jade Emperor by Hongjun and became the ruler of the Three Realms, but he was still very wary of the Three Pure Ones.

Because he knew that if he angered the Three Pure Ones, any one of them could overturn his Heavenly Court.

Although he will inevitably anger Hongjun in the end, he will also lose face in Hongjun's eyes as the Jade Emperor, and there is a very high possibility that he will be replaced.

So when he heard Yu Dingzhen, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, praise him so highly, he was quite pleased, which showed that Yuanshi Tianzun respected him.

"However, I never expected that some immortals in the Heavenly Court would dare to abuse the power of the Heavenly Court and the majesty of His Majesty to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the mortal realm. While my master, Jade Cauldron Immortal, was in seclusion in Kunlun, they forcibly broke into the cave I was guarding and even openly peeked at the secret manuals of my Chan Sect."

This is utterly disrespectful to His Majesty, the Chan Sect, and the Heavenly Venerable!

With a sudden change in tone, Li Chuan immediately became angry.

"Hmph, who dares to be so audacious!"

The Jade Emperor was also furious upon hearing this.

Li Chuan raised his hand and immediately pointed at the Great Golden Crow:

"Your Majesty, it is indeed the Great Golden Crow. Today, I was in my cave cultivating in accordance with my master's orders when the Great Golden Crow, along with heavenly soldiers and generals, suddenly surrounded Jade Spring Mountain and tried to force its way into my cave."

I tried to reason with him, but he attacked me directly.

After finally breaking into the cave, he even took advantage of his identity as the Great Golden Crow to forcibly peek at the various techniques and Taoist arts of the Chan Sect that my master had placed in the cave. It was simply outrageous!

"You audacious Golden Crow, is this true?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor frowned and looked at the Great Golden Crow, asking angrily.

Is this a joke?

Forcibly breaking into the cave of a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect and secretly observing the Chan Sect's techniques and arts—if this gets out, what will become of the Heavenly Court's reputation? What will become of the Jade Emperor's reputation? Moreover, if the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were to use this as an excuse to punish him, it would be even more troublesome.

"Your Majesty, that is not the case; it is your subject who is..."

Just as the Golden Crow was about to explain, Li Chuan interrupted him again.

"Your Majesty, I have a photographic stone as proof!"

As he spoke, Li Chuan took out a stone, infused it with his magic power, and a virtual image appeared in the Lingxiao Palace.

In the video, the Great Golden Crow, accompanied by celestial soldiers and generals, surrounds Jade Spring Mountain. Li Chuan appears, smiling as he explains something. The Great Golden Crow's expression is threatening, while Li Chuan continues to chuckle and say something.

Then the Great Golden Crow threw its golden wheel at Li Chuan to attack, but Li Chuan deflected it with his hand.

The Great Golden Crow launched another attack.

The scene pauses here, then shifts to the cave, settling on the golden crow staring intently at a pile of Taoist books.

The recording stone contained no sound, only images, but even this incomplete image was sufficient to corroborate Li Chuan's words.

Throughout the entire process, Li Chuan was very polite, while the Great Golden Crow had a bad expression and still took the initiative to attack. The final frozen image was also very intriguing.

The Jade Emperor was so enraged by what he saw that his veins were bulging.

If the Great Golden Crow weren't his eldest son, he would have ordered it to be banished to the mortal realm to avoid displeasing the Primordial Celestial Lord.

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for my own cultivation, I might have been beaten to death from the start. When my master returned, he would have only seen my corpse and the empty cave."

Even if the Great Golden Crow were His Majesty's son, His Majesty would surely handle such matters impartially!

Li Chuan made the situation even more serious, expanding it from forcibly breaking into the cave to steal the Chan Sect's cultivation techniques to murdering witnesses and forcibly seizing the techniques.

"Great Golden Crow, is the scene depicted on this photo stone fake? Confess the truth!"

At this time, the Jade Emperor still hoped that the image on the image stone was fabricated by Li Chuan using magic.

The equally furious Golden Crow quickly bent down to explain:

"The image on this photographic stone is not fabricated, but the events are not as they seem."

The Great Golden Crow wanted to say that the images were incomplete and misleading. He was only ordered to capture the three Yang siblings and had no intention of taking the Chan Sect's techniques from the cave.

But Li Chuan, standing to the side, wouldn't give him a chance to explain:

"Your Majesty, since the Great Golden Crow has already admitted that the images are real, there is nothing more to say."

"If Your Majesty, out of consideration for family ties, is unwilling to take action, then this humble Taoist can only wait in the Heavenly Court for seven days until the disciples of the Xuanmen sect finish their seclusion, and then report this matter to the Heavenly Venerable, who will then decide on behalf of the disciples!"

"You audacious Golden Crow, how dare you commit such a heinous crime! Guards, seize the Golden Crow and banish it to the mortal realm like Yao Ji!"

The Jade Emperor slammed his hand on the table and gave the order to those below.

He certainly didn't want to do this, but the facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to make this decision.

"Father, that's not how it is. Please let me explain."

Seeing two heavenly generals approach and seize him to be taken to the South Heavenly Gate, the Great Golden Crow panicked.

Unfortunately, the Jade Emperor was in a bad mood and didn't want to hear the Golden Crow's explanation at all.

"Wait!"

Just then, a beautifully dressed and powerful female immortal flew over, surrounded by a group of fairies, and sat down next to the Jade Emperor.

It was after Yao Ji was demoted that the Queen Mother, who had gone to the Fourth Heaven to take over the power of the Desire Realm, returned.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Your Majesty, please calm your anger! What crime has the Great Golden Crow committed that warrants his banishment to the mortal realm?"

The Queen Mother asked the Jade Emperor in a soft voice.

The Jade Emperor immediately told the Queen Mother the whole story.

"Tell me about this great golden crow; it's so muddle-headed! If I don't banish it to the mortal realm, how can I convince the people? How can I explain this to the Heavenly Venerable?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. Let's hear what the Great Golden Crow has to say first. If it is indeed the case, then it is not too late to demote him."

The Queen Mother was not as easily fooled as the Jade Emperor; she immediately sensed something was amiss.

She knew the Golden Crow's personality well. He was somewhat inflexible and only knew how to follow orders, but she absolutely did not believe that he coveted the teachings of the Chan Sect and would kill and rob.

"Alright, Great Golden Crow, tell me what exactly happened?"

After being persuaded by the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor's anger subsided considerably, and he gave the Great Golden Crow a chance to explain.

The Great Golden Crow then recounted in detail what he had learned from the Yang family servants that the three Yang siblings might be near Yuquan Mountain, and everything that happened afterward.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother realized that if what the Great Golden Crow said was true, then the Great Golden Crow's actions could not be considered wrong; at most, they were just a bit reckless.

"Words are meaningless. Who knows if you really want to catch the wanted criminal or if you're just after my Chan Sect's techniques? Anyway, I have a recording stone as proof. If that doesn't work, I'll just summon all the gods and immortals of the Three Realms to judge this matter together."

Li Chuan raised his head, looking like he was going to make things as big as possible, which instantly gave the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother a headache.
