Chapter 198 Yang Jiao is alive!
The Lingxiao Palace.
The Great Golden Crow looked at the Jade Emperor, who had suddenly lost his composure, and then turned its gaze to the Queen Mother of the West.
Her solemn face showed no sign of distress.
Looking at the distraught Yao Ji, he questioned:
"Yao Ji, as a goddess of the Heavenly Court, you have descended to the mortal realm without permission to marry a mortal and have children. Do you know your crime?"
The already numb Yao Ji looked at the Queen Mother of the West and suddenly roared with heart-wrenching pain:
"Yao Ji had no desires. It was Tianyou who gave me his heart to save me. What wrong did he do? What wrong did the child do? Why must we kill them all? He was only a few decades old! Why!"
"Why?" the Queen Mother repeated, then suddenly laughed.
There was no lust in her eyes, only the strictness of heavenly rules and regulations.
"Because gods cannot have feelings!"
Yao Ji felt a sharp, pricking sensation in her heart. She threw her head back and laughed, shifting her gaze from the Queen Mother's face to the Jade Emperor's.
"Gods cannot have feelings, so how did you come to have children? Although I have feelings, have I ever disregarded the well-being of all living beings because of my personal emotions?" she rebuked angrily, her eyes wide with fury.
"Yao Ji did nothing wrong. If there is any fault, it is only in being a heartless and desireless goddess!"
At this point, she was hoarse and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face darkened, and she said sternly:
"What a ridiculous statement! 'You shouldn't be a god!' How dare you utter such arrogant words!"
After saying that, she turned to look at the Jade Emperor, who remained silent and indifferent to the side.
In fact, the Queen Mother of the West knew very well that the Jade Emperor naturally felt sorry for his own sister, Yao Ji, and was reluctant to punish her severely.
Therefore, as early as when the Great Golden Crow descended to the mortal realm on the Jade Emperor's orders to capture Yao Ji, the Queen Mother of the West had already secretly sent someone to inform several saints of this matter.
The Jade Emperor's own sister has violated heavenly laws, which is a major incident in the Three Realms.
If a sage were truly aware of this, he would surely have known long ago.
Out of courtesy and custom, the Queen Mother of the West still sent someone to inform them one by one.
She did this simply to use the power of the crowd to put pressure on the Jade Emperor, to make him understand that the matter was already known to everyone, thereby forcing the Jade Emperor to be unable to show favoritism towards Yao Ji.
After all, the Heavenly Laws are the cornerstone of maintaining order and fairness in Heaven, and absolutely cannot be trampled on or violated by anyone!
As the Queen Mother glared angrily, a servant hurriedly approached from the side and whispered in her ear:
"Your Majesty, the Primordial Celestial Venerable said, 'This is a matter for the Jade Emperor's family, and he has no right to interfere,' so he will not be coming."
"The Tongtian Sect Leader said he has something more important to do. He has already calculated the end, so don't even bother asking him to come, let alone how many children the Jade Emperor's sister has.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression turned sour.
Tiannu glanced at it cautiously, bowed even lower, and said respectfully:
"Laozi said he had no interest in knowing."
"Since there is no one there, Nuwa must have gone to the Fire Cloud Cave."
The Queen Mother's fingernails dug deeply into her palms, and her fists trembled uncontrollably.
These saints really show no respect to the Heavenly Court!
The Queen Mother was furious and about to lash out at Yao Ji when she suddenly heard Tian Nu's words:
"Fortunately, the two saints of the Western Sect are here. Not only are they here, but upon hearing of this matter, both saints promised to come to the Heavenly Court to speak on behalf of the Empress."
Upon hearing this, her expression relaxed slightly.
The Western religion is impoverished, and I have sent them quite a bit of things. I suppose the two saints will still give me this much face.
The Queen Mother of the West looked coldly at Yao Ji, then turned to the Jade Emperor with a look of disappointment at her lack of ambition.
He silently thought to himself:
"If the Jade Emperor could truly abandon everything, that Primordial Purple Qi would have been his for the taking long ago. How could someone in a position of power still retain a benevolent heart?"
……
The mortal realm.
The Yang residence.
Yang Jiao was well aware of her current predicament.
The people in Heaven will assume that the Yang family is all dead and won't investigate for a while. Yang Jian and Yang Chan will have time to catch their breath and walk the path they once followed. The only difference is that they were penniless before, but now, at least they are both at the starting line.
She truthfully told these few of her own people who wouldn't reveal the secret:
"Yang Jian and Yang Chan are not dead, but they were hit by the Age-Cursing Palm. Yang Jiao thanks everyone and hopes you will take good care of them."
"Still alive?!" Master Yu Ding's dead heart was revived.
His highly talented disciple didn't die, which was good. After he died, he recited all the contents of the Buddhist scriptures to him.
"Yang Jiao, what do you plan to do?"
Yun Zhongzi didn't want anything to happen to Yang Jiao, who had barely survived, so he asked anxiously.
"I?"
Yang Jiao looked toward the location of the Heavenly Palace.
"Of course I will go to save my mother."
Now that everyone in Heaven thinks she's dead, they won't be on guard. As long as I can come up with a way before Yao Ji gets too excited and tries to assassinate the Jade Emperor, I'm sure I can bring my mother back.
Upon hearing this, the four men wore expressions of distress once again.
It seems like one problem after another is brewing.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva pondered for a moment, then frowned and told Yang Jiao about the pros and cons of the matter:
"The Jade Emperor is a quasi-saint, and the Queen Mother is not much different. Not to mention the numerous heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court, how could you possibly save Yao Ji right under their noses?"
Yang Jiao already had a plan.
He took out a drop of Yao Ji's essence blood from his bosom and said:
"Although my transformation technique is clumsy, if one can consume the essence and blood of the person being transformed, as long as one remains still, no one can decipher it."
Then, I can replace Yao Ji with myself.
The biggest difference between Yang Jiao and Yao Ji is that she wouldn't be foolish enough to kill the Jade Emperor. As long as that plot isn't triggered, Yao Ji's fate would at most be imprisonment in Peach Mountain, and she wouldn't be subjected to the Heavenly Law.
It's like Erlang Shen locking up his own sister; it's just a cave dwelling, and he didn't even use chains to restrain her.
Maitreya disagreed, saying:
"No, this is too dangerous for you. We barely escaped with our lives."
"I have to follow you."
As soon as Maitreya finished speaking, Jade Tripod Immortal shook his head again.
"We can't go with them. We're all just ordinary people with little influence. Why don't we ask our own master for help?"
Thinking about this...
Suddenly, a red light shone from the background of the four people.
They were all disciples of a sage!
Regardless of whether Yuanshi Tianzun would actually give Yuding Zhenren any face, just the fact that Maitreya is the future leader of the Western Sect and their personal disciple might actually earn him some favors.
In the end, it's still possible that a major issue will be minimized.
Maitreya immediately made a decision:
"Alright, let's go back and fetch our respective people."
Even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother care about the dignity of a saint.
After all, even if they were gone, other people would come up to manage the Heavenly Court, but the Sages are fixed.
Yang Jiao was deeply moved.
Yang Jiao felt that he was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the sage, but because he had met these people, he was able to benefit from some of the sage's light. He truly felt that he was very fortunate.
Master Yu Ding nodded vigorously.
"Alright, I'll go back and ask my master right away!"
Yun Zhongzi immediately interrupted:
"I'll go to Master's place. Given Senior Brother's pace, you should just stay in the Yang family's courtyard."
A junior brother who disrespects his senior brother is better off without!
Master Yu Ding was so angry that he fanned himself with a palm leaf fan, but what Yun Zhongzi said made sense.
He came up with such a great idea, so why doesn't anyone praise him?
Just as he was feeling wronged.
Yang Jiao, however, bowed solemnly to him and requested:
"We will never forget your kindness to Yang Jiao, and we will definitely repay you in the future."
"I need to trouble Master Yuding with one more thing. I entrust Yang Jiao's younger brother and sister to you."
Master Yu Ding sighed softly:
"What entrustment or not, that's my apprentice."
