Lord Zengzhang pretended not to recognize him, gave a thumbs up and said with a hearty laugh, "Great Saint, that’s a fine capture indeed. Cultivators who create havoc across the Three Realms should be punished severely to prevent further chaos." He immediately beckoned with a gesture, saying, "Great Saint, please come this way." Sun Wukong strode inside proudly, for now, I, the Monkey King, am a legitimate god of the Heavenly Court. This is my first time visiting the Heavenly Palace as a Judicial Celestial, dragging Jiang Ziya with me and marching with a step that disowns all kinship. How impressive I am! Within the Bird’s Nest, Bai Jin suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside, completely baffled. What’s happening? Why has Sun Wukong brought Jiang Ziya to the Heavenly Court and is taking him to the Judicial Temple? Bai Jin felt speechless in his heart, isn’t this troubling me? Who is Jiang Ziya? He is the propagator of the Yuqing Daoist order in the Lower Realm. In the Lower Realm, the Taiching Daoist order at Shu Mountain, the Yuqing Daoist order at Kunlun, the Upper Pure Daoist order at Maoshan, and Buddhism at Shaolin Temple are the foundational sects of the Human Earth Immortal Realm. Now you’re telling me Sun Wukong has captured the leader of Kunlun, isn’t this a slap in the Chan Sect’s face? How could my Second Master, who cares so much for his reputation, let this go? Sun Monkey, are you trying to kill me? Anxiety surged within him. In the midst of Chaos, the Primordial Saint also slightly lowered his gaze, his eyes cold and indifferent as he watched over all beings in the Primordial World. Sun Wukong, carrying Jiang Ziya, continued to advance on his way. All the gods and immortals he encountered looked at him with strange expressions, each of them greeting Sun Wukong respectfully, then turned their heads and excitedly sold out Jiang Ziya. "Have you heard? Jiang Ziya was caught by Sun Wukong. They say it was for highway robbery." "Have you heard? Jiang Ziya, so poor he resorted to highway robbery, has been caught by Sun Wukong." "Did you hear? Jiang Ziya was robbing travelers, coveting Tang Sanzang’s flesh, and got killed by Sun Wukong." "Did you hear? Jiang Ziya was robbing travelers for lust and was torn to pieces by Sun Wukong." "Did you hear? Jiang Ziya attempted to ravage Tang Sanzang and was beaten by Sun Wukong until his Divine Soul was utterly destroyed, never to recover." Soon, the news of Jiang Ziya’s capture spread throughout the entire Heavenly Court, even the Jade Emperor and the Four Imperial Guardians were alarmed. The spread of the news was faster than Sun Wukong’s own speed. By the time Sun Wukong arrived at the Judicial Temple, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing were already waiting at the entrance of the great hall. Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up, he stepped forward, and with a laugh, said while clasping his fists, "Brothers, your old brother Sun is back, and I’ve brought you a gift." Yang Jiao looked at Jiang Ziya in Sun Wukong’s hands. On the battlefield back then, they had clashed frequently, and now, you are also having your day. Yang Jiao tried hard to suppress his smile and said calmly, "Great Saint, let’s put him down first." Sun Wukong carelessly tossed him down, smack—threw Jiang Ziya onto the ground, and exclaimed, "Brother Yang, this old man ran a shady inn in the Lower Realm to cheat your old brother Sun, even coveting my Master’s flesh. I caught him red-handed; he must be severely punished without leniency." He proudly declared, "This is the very first time your old brother Sun has caught a demon. I think we should press him under a mountain and have him copy scriptures for ten thousand years." Yang Jian and Nezha immediately bowed and greeted, "We pay our respects to Master Uncle~" "Gah~" Sun Wukong was suddenly dumbfounded. Master... Master Uncle? He slowly looked down at Jiang Ziya below. This old man is Yang Jian’s master uncle? He doesn’t look like it! Next to him, Ao Bing gloated and chuckled strangely, "Master Uncle, weren’t you quite smug back in the day? I bet you never thought you’d have a day !" Ao Bing, as a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, was not inclined to give face. Sun Wukong scratched his monkey’s head, eh~ Ao Bing doesn’t seem very respectful either. Could it be they don’t get along? What’s going on with them, their relationship seems rather complicated! Yang Jiao said calmly, "Bring Jiang Ziya to the Judicial Temple and wait for trial." "Yes," two Heavenly Soldiers immediately stepped out. "Divine Monarch, please spare this person!" A voice echoed through the air. A handsome young man with two glinting small horns atop his head and a smile on his face, holding a folded fan in his hand, floated over from the south. He was the very mount of the Immortal Elder of the Southern Pole, the Bai Lu. Everyone at the Judicial Temple turned their heads to look. Ao Bing demanded, "Who are you? How dare you obstruct the Heavenly Court’s administration of justice?" Bai Lu’s expression stiffened. Don’t you recognize me? I am the closest mount of the Southern Polar Emperor of Longevity, known throughout the Heavenly Court. Are they trying to make a fool of me? With a forced smile on his face, Bai Lu Child said, "I, of course, would not dare to obstruct Divine Monarch’s enforcement of law, but the Great Emperor was overjoyed to hear of Master Jiang’s arrival, and had sent me to invite Master Jiang to the South Pole Longevity Realm. I kindly ask for the Divine Monarchs to do us this favor." After finishing, he looked at Yang Jiao and others arrogantly. You dare to look down on me, but would you dare to disrespect the Great Emperor? In the surrounding void, wisps of Divine Thought began to appear, communicating with each other. "It really is Jiang Ziya!" "Sun Wukong has actually caught Jiang Ziya, this will be something to watch." "Hehe~ Chan Sect is really losing face this time." "They caught Jiang Ziya, but they won’t be able to keep him." Although the gods of the Heavenly Court were personally present, they all watched secretly from the shadows. Most of the Heavenly Court divinities were former Jie Sect Disciples; they found the misfortune of Jiang Ziya either gloatingly delightful or joyfully interesting, only hoping that the Judicial Temple wouldn’t release them easily. It would be better if they were put to labor reform, so we could go and snoop around as well! In front of the Judicial Temple, Yang Jiao said calmly, "Please return and inform the Southern Polar Emperor of Longevity that Jiang Ziya has violated the Heavenly Rules and must enter the Judicial Temple for trial and therefore cannot attend the meeting in the Southern Heaven." The expression of Immortal Deer Child froze — rejected? The humiliation burned his face, and a nameless fury rose in his heart as he shouted indignantly, "Yang Dalang, do you realize what you are saying? How dare you defy the Emperor’s Dharma Decree?" "Our Judicial Temple was established under the Jade Emperor’s Decree and honors the Gouchen’s laws; no one shall interfere! "Bring Jiang Ziya into the interrogation room!" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 "Yes," immediately, two Heavenly Soldiers came forward, lifting Jiang Ziya and carrying him inside. The Bai Lu mount became anxious; this was a mission given by the Great Emperor. If it were not completed, what consequences would I face? He quickly called out, "Yang Erlang, Nezha, he is your Master’s brother." Yang Erlang frowned and said, "Go back and tell the Southern Polar Emperor of Longevity that our Judicial Temple will never wrongly accuse any good deity." Nezha added, "Nor will it fail to punish a bad Immortal." Bai Lu Child twitched his lips. What’s the difference between what you said and saying nothing at all? A clear voice suddenly rang out, "Yang Jian, Nezha, are you going to betray your master and ancestors?" Above the White Clouds, a Child dressed in a Daoist robe floated down, clean-faced with a hint of Jing Guang, he was the Golden Rosy Clouds Child, a disciple of the Taiyi True Man. The Heavenly Soldiers walking inside also stopped their steps. Nezha subconsciously shrank his neck. Why did my Master’s Child also come?
