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

Chapter 586 Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain (First Update)

Heavenly Court, Queen Mother's Palace.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother listened to the old dragon recounting, with tears streaming down his face, how his son, the Third Prince Ao Bing, had been killed by Nezha. Looking at Li Chuan standing there with a smirk, they were both quite exasperated.

Normally, they would naturally side with the old Dragon King, but they had just promised Li Chuan that if any disciples of the Chan Sect made a mistake, they would be lenient as long as it wasn't serious.

Going back on your word now would be a huge slap in the face.

Moreover, the recording stone is still in Li Chuan's hands. If he goes back on his word and Li Chuan causes trouble, the Heavenly Court will lose face, and the Great Golden Crow will also be in trouble.

"Ahem, Ao Guang, you see, Nezha is still just a child. Just like Li Qing said, let him take him back and let Taiyi Zhenren discipline him properly. There's no need to go to the point of paying with his life."

Finally, it was the Queen Mother who spoke first.

The Jade Emperor couldn't say this too openly; she could only hint at it.

In her eyes, the son of the mere Dragon King was nothing but an ant, how could he compare to the Great Golden Crow? If it weren't for the sake of the Heavenly Court's reputation, she wouldn't bother with such troublesome matters.

"But Your Majesty, my son is dead! His soul has vanished! How can this be allowed to end like this?"

Ao Guang was dumbfounded when he heard this; it was not what he had expected at all.

At this moment, Li Chuan also spoke up:

"As far as I know, Ao Bing often brings his sea patrol yakshas ashore. Relying on his status and the fear that mortals have for dragons, he has done a lot of bad things and killed more than one or two innocent mortals."

If the Dragon King's wish of exchanging lives for lives were truly followed, Ao Bing would have to endure many such exchanges.

In a way, Nezha acted on behalf of Heaven, restoring the reputation of the East Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon King should be grateful.

"You're talking nonsense! When did my third brother ever kill a mortal?"

The fourth princess, standing next to the old dragon king, retorted angrily, saying that she did not know what Ao Bing had done in the mortal world.

The old Dragon King remained silent. Of course he knew about it, but the lives of a few mortals were nothing to him. However, such matters could not be discussed openly.

"I think the Dragon King and the Fourth Princess must not have known, otherwise they would not have allowed Ao Bing to wreak havoc on the human world."

So how about this: now that things have come to this, let's ask Your Majesty to send some heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to the mortal realm with us.

Go find those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace, and then go to the mortal world to investigate the mortals living on the coast. Do a thorough investigation.

That way, the truth will be revealed.

Li Chuan turned to look at Ao Guang:

"Dragon King, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Go now! If Nezha is lying, Nezha will willingly pay with his life. If it's true, I will exterminate every single one of your dragon sons and grandsons who have harmed the people!"

Nezha pointed his Fire-Tipped Spear at Ao Guang, and the powerful magic within him made the Queen Mother above raise her eyebrows.

She hadn't expected that the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect would all be so powerful.

"Nezha, how dare you! Put away your fire-tipped spear! Lord Ao Guang is the mighty Dragon King of the East Sea, a righteous god of the Heavenly Court. If he truly had dragon sons and grandsons harming mortals, why would he need you to do it?"

Li Chuan had a beaming smile on his face, while Ao Guang looked utterly miserable.

"There's no need for such a big fuss. My son Ao Bing would never harm mortals. There might be some misunderstanding."

Master Li Qing is right. It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. Nezha is still a child, and being too calculating would make the old dragon seem narrow-minded.

Let's just drop this matter.

Finally, Ao Guang said helplessly.

If this were to be investigated, it wouldn't just be Ao Bing who would die; countless dragon sons and grandsons would be implicated. He himself had killed many mortals who disrespected him.

The Fourth Princess's expression changed upon hearing Ao Guang's reply.

By now, she understood perfectly well that what Nezha and Li Qing said was true; Ao Bing had indeed harmed many mortals.

"Hmph, me."

At this moment, Nezha still did not want to let the old Dragon King go, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Chuan reached out and blocked his voice.

"Nezha, let's stop here. If we really anger the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, even a small trick they pull will be enough to make those ordinary mortals on the shore suffer."

Li Chuan knew that even if the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother looked down on the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, they wouldn't really let this matter discourage the Dragon Clan.

So going down to investigate is impossible; we just need to force the old Dragon King to back down.

Besides, the Four Seas Dragon Clan isn't truly without powerful experts; offending them too severely could bring about negative consequences.

"It's good that you think this way, Ao Guang. I'll have someone pick two immortal peaches for you to take back later. You have so many children, you can raise them well."

Seeing that Ao Guang had made concessions, the Jade Emperor also gave him some appropriate compensation.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, Li Chuan grasped Ao Guang's hand with a sincere expression.

"Dragon King, although the Dragon Palace and the Chan Sect had some misunderstandings today, I believe it will not have any impact. In the future, when the Dragon King has time, you may visit the Golden Cloud Cave on Jade Spring Mountain."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we sat down and discussed philosophy, drinking wine and tea?"

"Master Li Qing is right. I have always held the three religions in high esteem and have absolutely no other intentions."

"Master, you must visit Old Dragon's Crystal Palace when you have time. I have some top-grade immortal wine that I've treasured for ten thousand years, and I've never been willing to drink it."

The initial sorrow on Ao Guang's face had vanished, replaced by enthusiasm.

As the leader of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, Ao Guang was not one to act on emotion. Now that the facts were settled, he had to quickly make the decision that was most beneficial to the Dragon Clan.

Offending the Chan Sect is clearly unwise, and Li Qing is not Nezha who killed his son; associating with him would not be a disgrace to the dragon.

Moreover, just now when he came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, he heard about Li Qing beating up the Great Golden Crow. It's best not to offend such a powerful, resourceful, and shrewd Taoist priest unless absolutely necessary.

"Haha, no problem, no problem."

Seeing Li Chuan and Ao Guang laughing at the same time, as if they had known each other for thousands of years, Nezha and the Fourth Princess behind them were stunned.

After parting ways with the Dragon King of the East Sea and the Fourth Princess, Li Chuan asked Nezha:

"Has Master Taiyi gone into seclusion on Mount Kunlun?"

"No, Master said he will be in seclusion at Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain this time."

He now completely admires his cousin, who is stronger and smarter than him. After Ao Guang was willing to give up his revenge, he even treats his cousin as a friend.

It completely shattered his worldview.

"Come, take me to my senior master. I have important matters to discuss with him."

Without hiding anything from Nezha, Li Chuan told him everything about Yang Jian's family.

Nezha, after hearing this, also showed great loyalty:

"That old Jade Emperor is too heartless. Don't worry, cousin, I'll take you to find Master right now and see if he can come up with any way to help rescue the Princess."

"The main problem is that Yuquan Mountain is no longer safe, and Master Taiyi's Qianyuan Mountain is even more secluded."

Li Chuan nodded and flew with Nezha on a cloud to Qianyuan Mountain.
