After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"Please welcome the Heavenly Venerable Zhang Daoling, the Demon-Slaying and Protector of the Dao!"

Immortals and gods cannot descend to the mortal realm at will. Even if they hate Bai Ze to the core, they can only stay in the Heavenly Court. But if they have an accomplice on Earth, then things become much simpler.

I can't descend to the mortal realm, but can't I at least send an incarnation to lend a helping hand?

Behind Su Yinjun appeared the phantom of a Taoist priest in a red robe, with a thick beard and a pair of long swords at his waist.

The phantom spoke with a tongue that seemed to crackle like thunder.

"You wicked beast, be punished!"

Two sword lights flew out from the waist of the phantom.

It was the Three-Five Male and Female Demon-Slaying Swords that Zhang Daoling was bestowed upon him by the Daoist Ancestor, Laozi.

Behind Zhou Yan, another golden-armored deity with three heads, nine eyes, six arms, and a blue body appeared. This deity held a fire bell and a fire rope in both hands; a golden spear and a golden brick in both hands; and a sword with a fighting gesture in both hands. After appearing, as Zhang Daoling used the Three-Five Male and Female Demon-Slaying Swords, the golden spear, golden brick, and longsword in his hands fell towards Zhou Yan. The fire bell rang, and Zhou Yan was covered in flames. The fire rope was placed around Zhou Yan's neck, which was already trapped by flames.

He was none other than Marshal Ma, one of the Great Spirit Officials of the Zhengyi Daoist sect founded by Zhang Daoling, and the Golden-Armed Round Zero Light Fire Rhinoceros Great Immortal.

Zhou Yan waved his hand, and five Gouchen sword energies flew out. Two of them blocked Zhang Tianshi's Three-Five Male-Female Evil-Slaying Sword, while the rest fought against Ma Lingguan's weapon. After all, it was just an avatar, and its supernatural powers were less than one-tenth of the real body. The Gouchen sword energies given by the Great Emperor Gouchen by Zhou Yan easily entangled Zhang Tianshi's Three-Five Male-Female Evil-Slaying Sword and Ma Lingguan.

Zhou Yan used his teleportation ability to run out of the restaurant, and said mournfully to Su Yinjun, who was still making hand seals and preparing to call for help (in the voice of the Immaculate Heavenly Maiden).

"Su Jun, how cruel you are! I clearly love you so much, and I've kept every single love letter you gave me..."

The power of the Eight Trigrams was so great that Zhang Tianshi, Ma Lingguan, and another golden-armored general, who were originally attacking Zhou Yan, all looked at Su Yinjun with a playful expression on their faces.

If Su Yinjun were a mortal cultivator, based on Zhou Yan's words and the surrounding atmosphere, he could be so enraged that his Dao heart would shatter and his body would explode and he would die.

But he wasn't, so even though he was furious, he still made another hand seal and roared.

"Please welcome the Celestial Venerable of Eternal Wind—Sa Shoujian!"

Behind Su Yinjun, another old Taoist priest appeared, wearing a blue Taoist robe and with a high hairline. As soon as the old Taoist priest appeared, he shouted.

"Where are the generals and commanders of the Qian Battalion?!"

Just as Zhou Yan stepped out of Qi Restaurant, feeling as if the world was vast and boundless, he was suddenly enveloped in a golden light.

Zhou Yan looked up.

Today is a cloudy day, not raining, but the clouds are thick and block out the light. But at this moment, the clouds disperse, revealing groups of heavenly soldiers and generals standing on the clouds, clad in armor and surrounded by golden light.

"I am still inside the restaurant," Sa Shoujian shouted.

"When will we ever have time to vanquish demons and monsters?!"

The heavenly soldiers and generals immediately descended on clouds, the fastest of whom rushed to Zhou Yan and brandished their weapons at him.

In an instant, Zhou Yan understood what it meant for arrows to rain down like a storm, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Zhou Yan shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Master, you and I have done such a thing, how can I face people after this..."

This passage is spoken in a beautiful male voice—yes, a male voice.

Then came Zhang Daoling's voice.

"Don't worry, heaven and earth know about this, you and I know... My good disciple, I will now teach you the method of dual cultivation."

Inside the restaurant.

Sa Shoujian, Su Yinjun, and Ma Lingguan all turned to look at Zhang Tianshi.

Zhang Tianshi roared.

"It's all fake, it's all fake, you scoundrel, how dare you slander me."

Zhou Yan shouted as he ran outside the restaurant.

"Sa Shoujian, are you even a man? You have to take this child into your care, whether you like it or not!"

"This child... let's call him Changxing..." ←≡久々,|〈〗四≮≤『≡√蒐≮⊥索≈ｑn:

Zhang Tianshi, Ma Lingguan, and Su Yinjun then looked at Sa Tianshi.

Chang Xing was a disciple whom Sa Shoujian had taken in several hundred years ago. It's important to know that a figure as extraordinary as Sa Shoujian rarely took on disciples due to his high seniority. For him to personally accept Chang Xing, there must have been a very subtle reason. Now, Zhou Yan is making a fuss…

Master Sa was a little unsure how to explain.

Because that child was indeed the child of Master Sa, but he was born when he was reincarnated as a woman. After the child was born, he had the talent to cultivate Taoism and was taken as a disciple by Sa Shoujian after ascending to heaven.

If I don't know how to explain it, then I won't.

Master Sa reached into his robes and when his hand came out, he had a handful of soybeans in his palm.

"Beast! Die!"

Master Sa scattered soybeans. Master Sa was still inside the restaurant, but after the soybeans were scattered, they penetrated the hotel walls, crossed a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers from Zhou Yan, and all fell around Zhou Yan.

Then hundreds of divine generals and heavenly soldiers emerged from the soybeans.

At the same time, Fox King Su Yinjun made another hand seal and summoned the remaining two Celestial Masters.

"Please welcome the Divinely Skilled and Miraculously Healing True Lord—Xu Xun!"

"Please welcome the True Lord Chongyingfu—Ge Xuan!"

Two Taoist figures appeared from behind Su Yinjun, while Zhou Yan, who was dodging the heavenly soldiers who were turning beans into soldiers, continued to shout.

"Xu Xun, I know you have a crush on the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Do you know that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden called you a mangy dog?"

"Ge Xuan, you shameless old man, don't think I don't know you spend all day refining aphrodisiac pills and Dragon Tiger Powder. As an immortal, you can't even do that?"

Upon seeing Ge Tianshi reveal his true form, both Ge Tianshi and Xu Tianshi changed color and cursed angrily.

"How dare you, you scoundrel, talk back!"

"You wicked beast, today I will make sure your soul is scattered and your spirit is destroyed!"

Chapter Eight: Successful Escape

Bao Niu Mountain, Gui Men Pass, Si You Pavilion.

Little Yama entered the Siyou Pavilion, went up to the second floor, stopped in front of a room on the second floor where there were sounds, pushed open the door and went in. Inside the door was Wuqu Star sitting at an eight-immortal table, eating Yuanbao San Dan.

Little Yama sat down next to Wuquxing, who spoke indistinctly.

"Has the matter of the underworld been resolved?"

Little Yama cupped his face with one hand.

"It's just a small matter."

In the underworld, there aren't many things that can bother Little Yama.

The door behind Little Yama opened, and the little devils, each carrying a plate, walked in. One of them walked up to Little Yama and put down the braised noodles on his plate.

Another person walked up to Wuquxing and put down a bowl of noodles with soybean paste.

Wu Quxing stirred the noodles with chopsticks, slurped a mouthful, and then asked.

What's next?

Little Yama picked up his chopsticks, took a sip of the braised noodles, and then turned to the little devil beside him and asked.

"Where's the garlic?"

Eating noodles without garlic diminishes the flavor by half.

The little devil took a clove of garlic out of his body.

Little Yama took it and said as he peeled it.

"Going to Mount Ling to rescue people... to be honest, Mount Ling seems like a good place. That guy Xiao Yan said..."

Little Yama took a bite of the peeled garlic and ate it with his noodles.

"If we can make good use of the Ling Mountain..."

While eating his noodles, Xiao Yanqi recounted what Zhou Yan had said about things that could alter reality. ^.baˉ?

"...Old Wu, what do you think?"

Little Yama popped a clove of garlic into his mouth.

Wu Quxing shook his head.

“I don’t recommend doing that. Lao Yan, do you know how houses are built? To build a house, you first need to choose a site with a stable surface, and then you need to dig the foundation. Only when the foundation is solid can you avoid the house collapsing.”

Little Yama understood what Wuqu Star meant.

"Old Wu, do you suspect that altering reality too much will cause the world to collapse?"

Wu Quxing shrugged.

"I don't know, but I'm not hoping for the kind of wonderful thing that would happen if we didn't have enough resources and could just change reality."

After finishing the last bite of his braised noodles, Little Yama spoke.

"Okay, Xiaoyan and I will talk later..."

"Ok?"

Little Yama suddenly looked in one direction.

……

The Hall of Reincarnation, the Mirror of the Underworld.

A phantom appeared inside the Yin-Yang Mirror. The phantom was initially just a dot, but then it solidified, growing hands, feet, a head, and then colors and lines.

A moment later, Zhou Yan, covered in marks from fire, ice, knife cuts, and axe blows, jumped out of the mirror.

As soon as he came out, Zhou Yan collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Sweat poured out like water from a tap that had been turned on.

A small foot landed in front of Zhou Yan at that moment.

Zhou Yan turned his head slightly.

"Brother Yan..."

The owner of the tiny feet was none other than Little Yama.

Little Yama squatted down and looked at Zhou Yan, who was lying on the ground.

"What's wrong with the little one?"

Little Yama looked at the Yin-Yang Mirror behind Zhou Yan. This was one of the magical treasures that connected him with Zhou Yan's small world. Zhou Yan could use his small world to come to this magical treasure and then escape from it.

This can be considered as a way out left for Zhou Yan by Little Yama.

Of course, under normal circumstances, given Bai Ze's abilities and Xiao Yanjun's understanding of Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan wouldn't need to use this escape route.

Unless Zhou Yan encounters extremely great danger.

Little Yama guessed.

"What, is the Third Prince here to kill you?"

With Nezha's god-like fighting prowess, let alone Zhou Yan in his current state, even Bai Ze in his prime would probably be no match for Nezha.

Therefore, it's understandable that Zhou Yan would need to use the escape route he had prepared when he actually faced Nezha.

Zhou Yan straightened up with difficulty.

"It wasn't that dangerous. It was just that the four Heavenly Masters from the Heavenly Court came together to kill me."

The Four Celestial Masters...

Together……

Little Yama felt that there was something slightly off about Zhou Yan's statement that it wasn't as dangerous as he thought.

Zhou Yan said bitterly.

"But when those bastards were chasing me, I didn't just keep quiet and run away. I embellished their dirty deeds and cursed them out."

Zhou Yan had been chased by the gods of Heaven at the East Heavenly Gate before. During the chase, he collected all the information that these gods could see, and thus learned a lot of rumors about the Four Heavenly Masters. Of course, he didn't need to confirm whether they were true or not. While being beaten, Zhou Yan talked about the four Heavenly Masters, spouting all sorts of nonsense.

The four celestial masters were so enraged that they used every trick in the book, almost coming down in their own bodies to beat him up.

However, it was just a clone after all. Zhou Yan found an opportunity to hide in a small world and escaped with the help of Little Yama's backup plan.

Zhou Yan struggled to get up, but collapsed to the ground halfway up.

"Brother Yan, help me up."
