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

Chapter 585 A Benefactor's Help (Second Update)

After some conversation, Nezha learned that Li Chuan was not only a disciple of Master Yu Ding, but also related to him by blood.

Ten years ago, when he was still in his mother's womb and had not yet been born, this distant cousin was actually pushed to his uncle, Master Taiyi Zhenren, by his master, Master Yuding Zhenren. He has not returned to Chentang Pass since then, which is why he does not recognize him.

"Cousin, don't stop me! Let me kill this old mudfish, then level his East Sea and wipe out his dragon descendants!"

"You fiend! How dare you threaten me, the Dragon King of the East Sea! If you dare to touch my East Sea Dragon Palace, His Majesty will surely exterminate your entire clan!"

The old Dragon King was protected behind his fourth daughter, but he was not one to back down.

"You old mudfish, you're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha became even angrier. He immediately launched his Universe Ring, bypassing Li Chuan and smashing it towards the back of the Dragon King's head.

If this hits, the old Dragon King will surely die just like his third son, and probably won't even have the chance to enter the underworld.

"Nezha, don't be impulsive, listen to your elder brother."

Seeing this, Li Chuan flashed and instantly appeared behind the old Dragon King, catching the Qiankun Ring in one fell swoop, startling the old Dragon King so much that his dragon soul almost emerged.

He never expected Nezha to be so audacious as to actually dare to kill him, the dignified Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Dragon King and Fourth Princess, please calm down. Let me persuade my younger brother first."

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, neither the Dragon King nor the Fourth Princess dared to further provoke Nezha.

"Cousin, don't save this old mudfish! They're no good!"

Seeing Li Chuan easily block the Dragon King's full-force attack with the Universe Ring, Nezha felt both admiration and some anger.

She was angry that her older brother, who was also her senior, always sided with outsiders and not with her.

"Nezha, I know they are no good, but the Dragon King of the East Sea is different from the Third Prince Ao Bing. He is an official of the Heavenly Court. Killing him is to go against the Heavenly Court head-on."

Even if you are a disciple of the Chan Sect, the Heavenly Court will definitely pursue the matter to the end in order to uphold its authority.

Even Master Taiyi won't be able to protect you then.

Li Chuan pulled Nezha aside and explained through telepathy.

Nezha let out a cold snort:

"I'm not afraid of the Heavenly Court; there aren't many in the Heavenly Court who can defeat me!"

"I know you, Nezha, possess profound magical powers, but you should think about your uncle and aunt. They are, after all, mortals. If the Heavenly Court can't subdue them, surely you can subdue them too?"

Li Chuan slowly explained the dangers to Nezha.

Although Nezha was only seven years old, or ten years old if you add the three years in his mother's womb, he was not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have come to the South Heavenly Gate to stop Ao Guang in advance.

"But cousin, even if I don't kill them, they'll still go and appeal to the emperor. Won't it all be the same then?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Leave it to me, I'll take care of it!"

After calming Nezha down, Li Chuan went to Ao Guang and the Fourth Princess.

"I, Li Qing, disciple of the Jade Cauldron True Man under the tutelage of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, greet the Dragon King of the East Sea and the Fourth Princess!"

"Disciples of the Chan Sect!"

When Ao Guang heard Li Chuan announce his name, his heart skipped a beat.

All he knew was that Nezha was the son of Li Jing of Chentang Pass, and that he was pregnant for three years and six months before being born, so he thought he was some kind of monster.

And just now, he heard the person who suddenly stopped Nezha claim to be Nezha's cousin, but he didn't know that this person was actually a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

As an old dragon who had lived for thirteen thousand years, how could he not know how terrifying the Chan Sect was?

If this were any other ordinary matter, he would certainly not pursue it further out of respect for Li Chuan, a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect. But this time, it was his own son who was beaten to death.

"Old Dragon greets Daoist Li Qing and thanks him for saving my life. When Daoist Li Qing visits my East Sea Dragon Palace in the future, Old Dragon will certainly treat him with the utmost hospitality. However, Nezha killed my son Ao Bing, and Old Dragon cannot let this go."

"It is true that Nezha killed the Third Prince, but it was not entirely without reason. Moreover, Nezha was a disciple of his master, Taiyi Zhenren. Even if you, Dragon King, complained to the Jade Emperor, you might not get your wish."

"Why don't we turn hostility into friendship and call it quits? When we get back, I'll definitely have my master teach Nezha a lesson. What do you think?"

Li Chuan offered his advice with a smile.

When Ao Guang heard that Nezha was also a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, he was stunned.

Indeed, if he were not a disciple of the Chan Sect, how could a mere seven-year-old child possess such magical powers?

"I don't care whose disciples you are, you killed my third brother, and you won't let this go. If you want us to stop reporting you, then kill Nezha and pay with your life!"

The fourth princess glared, clearly dissatisfied with Li Chuan's statement.

Li Chuan ignored the Fourth Princess and continued to stare at Ao Guang. The Fourth Princess's words didn't count; it was mainly Ao Guang's response that mattered.

Ao Guang hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and replied:

"I cannot comply; I must seek justice from His Majesty!"

The murder of his son not only concerns him, but also the reputation of the entire Dragon Clan. If he backs down because of two third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, who will respect the Dragon Clan in the future?

No matter what, he was a Heavenly Official who served the Heavenly Court diligently, and he didn't believe that the Jade Emperor would favor the Chan Sect.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that the Jade Emperor did not have much affection for the three religions to begin with, and that he might be able to use this matter to suppress the three religions.

"Alright, in that case, let's go in together!"

Li Chuan calmed Nezha down with his divine sense, who was once again contemplating killing, and then said nothing more.

Ao Guang knew exactly what he was thinking. Normally, even if the Jade Emperor wouldn't actually use Nezha to pay for Ao Bing's life, he would still hold Li Jing accountable and give the Chan Sect a warning.

But now, because of his intervention, the situation is naturally different.

He had previously exchanged the release of the Golden Crow for the promises of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, all for the sake of protecting Nezha at this moment.

Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi, who was originally a treasure in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun. Later, it was passed on to Taiyi Zhenren and reincarnated into Li Jing's family. He was born after three years and six months.

His talent for cultivation was astonishing; he reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm in just seven years.

If the spirit hadn't suffered a calamity and ultimately lost its physical body, only able to reside in a lotus dharma body, its final cultivation level would definitely not be inferior to Yang Jian or the future Monkey King.

Even if he doesn't become a saint, he certainly has a chance of becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

If he can help Nezha overcome this calamity, the Chan Sect will gain another great general, which will benefit the future rebellion against Heaven and the Investiture of the Gods, and will also bring them closer to Taiyi Zhenren.

At the same time, in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, the Taiyi Zhenren, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.

He did a quick calculation with his fingers, and a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.

"Nezha met a benefactor, and his life-threatening calamity was averted!"

A thousand years ago, he learned from his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, that he would have a worthy disciple, but this disciple would face an inescapable calamity.

So he offered to help the goddess Nuwa wait for the owner of the innate spiritual baby lotus lantern in exchange for a petal from the lotus lantern. If his disciple was in dire need of life, he would use the petal to help him steal a chance to live.

Therefore, he did not even attend the discussion with Kunlun about the Investiture of the Gods.

Unexpectedly, the disciple's near-death ordeal ended so soon.
