Chapter 43 This sister is such a jerk to her brother!

Haotian Golden Palace, Miluo Palace, Lingxiao Palace.

This is the place where the Supreme Lord of the Three Realms governs and discusses affairs.

However, at this moment, the entire hall was empty, with only the Jade Emperor sitting alone on the throne, staring solemnly at the precious mirror floating in the air in front of him.

This magic mirror was bestowed by the Taoist himself. It can see through everything that happens in the three realms, allowing him, the Emperor of Heaven, to know everything about the world without leaving his home.

At this moment, the Haotian Treasure Mirror shows the scene in the Xianglengquan Secret Realm—

The sky was grey, with no sun, no clouds, no green, no people, only the gloomy grey haze and biting gale, telling of the desolation and ruin of this small world.

Finally, the picture freezes on a young man and woman walking side by side.

This perfect couple, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is unparalleled beauty. They look very well matched when standing together.

But you are the god of justice, and you should know that the rules of heaven do not allow gods and mortals to get together!
Haotian God's eyes gradually became complicated.

There is anger, blame, disgust, and helplessness...

"Your Majesty!"

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, a spiritual official on duty said respectfully through the palace door: "Taibai Star Lord has something important to ask for!"

The complex expression in the Jade Emperor's eyes disappeared instantly. He waved his hand to put away the Haotian Treasure Mirror and said expressionlessly: "Announce!"

"Here!"

Soon, Taibai Xingjun Li Changgeng walked quickly into the palace and bowed respectfully to Haotian God at the top, "Your Majesty!"

Lord Haotian looked down and said, "Please stand up, my dear minister. What did you ask from that casual cultivator in the lower realm?"

Li Changgeng did not stand up, but said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yuan Hong has already fled to the lower world!"

"Escaped?!"

Lord Haotian's expression changed, and he frowned and said, "The Pixiang Hall is a forbidden place in the Heavenly Palace. There are many restrictions in the hall. How can a mere casual cultivator from the lower realm escape?"

Li Changgeng said sternly, "Yuan Hong used the art of controlling the heavens and the earth to break the restriction with one strike, and then used the magical power of flying golden light to travel thousands of miles in an instant. The heavenly soldiers and generals had no time to react, so he broke out of the South Heaven Gate..."

"The law of heaven and earth! The golden light of the earth?"

There was a hint of surprise in Haotian God's voice, and his face turned slightly cold, "How could a mere casual cultivator from the lower realms cultivate such magical powers?"

Li Changgeng did not answer, he knew that His Majesty was not asking.

He lowered his head, his expression was solemn, and even his breathing stopped.

The depressing atmosphere made the entire Lingxiao Palace seem extremely heavy.

Without looking up, Li Changgeng knew that the Emperor's expression at this moment must be as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds.

Fortunately, the next words from Lord Haotian made Li Changgeng feel relieved.

"Your Excellency handled this matter properly. Although Yuan Hong escaped, it was not your fault.

On the contrary, if you hadn’t brought him to the Pixiang Palace in time and prevented the situation from escalating, I’m afraid that Yao Ji’s violation of the Heavenly Rules would have become known to everyone.

If this matter can be handled properly, your contribution will be credited to you.

However, now we need to strengthen vigilance, repair the restrictions in various places, and send an order to the Gou Chen Palace, ordering the Five Pole War Gods to take turns guarding the South Heavenly Gate to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

In addition, go to the North Pole Exorcism House and order Tianpeng Zhenjun to lead the four generals Tianhai, Tianyu, Tianyu and Tianqiong, and three thousand heavenly soldiers to the lower world to track down Yuan Hong's whereabouts.

Once discovered, they will be executed on the spot!"

Taibai Xingjun bowed deeply and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that when His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven issued such an order, it was obvious that he had already made the final decision, and he only needed to carry it out.

"I will go and convey your order now." Taibai Star Lord left the Lingxiao Palace and floated away on a auspicious cloud.

Lord Haotian had a stern look on his face and summoned the Haotian Divine Mirror again.

He knew that Yuan Hong's appearance and escape were no accidental events, but were the result of someone plotting behind the scenes, and his target was none other than him, the Emperor of Heaven who was in charge of the three realms!
He was somewhat glad that Li Changgeng handled the situation properly and prevented Yuan Hong from making the matter of Yao Ji violating the Heavenly Rules known to everyone.

In that case, there are only two options left for him.

Either he severely punishes Princess Yao Ji who violated the Heavenly Law and upholds the dignity and order of the Heavenly Law with a spirit of sacrificing her own relatives for the greater good; or he overthrows the Heavenly Law at all costs in order to protect his sister who has fallen into a love disaster.

No matter which of these two paths he chooses, it is not what he wants to see, and it will cause great damage to his prestige as the Emperor of Heaven.

Heaven is not a monolithic entity!
What's more, there are many powerful beings in the Three Realms who are eyeing the position of the Heavenly Emperor. Once he makes a serious mistake, he may be reported to the Zixiao Palace and may be pulled down from the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!

After all, what Daozu needs is a Heavenly Emperor who can manage the Three Realms in an orderly manner, rather than an incompetent person who can be schemed and bullied by others!
Even though he is a Taoist boy beside the Taoist Master, it is not certain that the Taoist Master will favor him in such matters.

Fortunately, everything can still be salvaged.

Lord Haotian looked at the handsome young man in the mirror, and his eyes gradually became cold.

As long as Yao Ji is brought back to heaven and all traces are erased, who would dare to say that his sister violated the heavenly rules?

With this thought in mind, Lord Haotian slowly exhaled a breath of immortal air, which fell to the ground and transformed into a middle-aged man in a brocade robe. He had a wealthy figure and a kind smile, like a wealthy businessman in the mortal world.

At this moment, a voice from the spirit official outside the palace came: "The Golden Mother has arrived!"

Then, a female figure in a golden court dress appeared in the hall, graceful and elegant, with extraordinary bearing.

As soon as the Queen Mother of the Golden Realm entered the hall, she saw the middle-aged wealthy businessman and could not help but frowned slightly, "What is your majesty going to do?"

"It's all about Yao Ji." Lord Haotian rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I plan to go to the human world and bring Yao Ji back to heaven. This should help her get over her emotional calamity and sever her relationship."

“I’m afraid this is not an easy task.” Queen Mother Jin shook her head and said sternly, “Yao Ji has a strong character and will never look back once she decides on something.

If Your Majesty forcibly takes her back to Heaven, it may backfire and cause even greater disasters."

Lord Haotian felt even more troubled and could not help but complain, "If I had known that she would encounter this love calamity, I would have never let her become the God of Justice!

Now, my own sister, who is also the God of Justice appointed by me personally, actually broke the law knowingly and ran to the underworld to marry a mortal and have children!
If this gets out, how can I convince the people?

Isn't this just to trick me?"

The Golden Mother pursed her lips slightly, "Your Majesty, since you took the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, you haven't shown your true nature like this for a long time."

"Ahem..." Lord Haotian coughed twice and said with a little embarrassment: "Isn't this in front of you, Your Majesty..."

The Queen Mother of the Golden Realm was obviously very pleased with this, and she pursed her lips and said softly, "Then why hasn't Your Majesty come to Yaochi Palace these days?"

"Cough cough!"

Lord Haotian coughed twice and changed the subject abruptly, "Let's talk about serious matters first! Since Your Majesty feels that it is not appropriate to bring Yao Ji back to Heaven directly, then according to Your Majesty's opinion, what should I do?"

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him unkindly, "The most reliable method is naturally to remove Yao Ji from her position as the God of Justice and demote her to a mortal.

After this life is over, I will bring her back.

This way, even if something happens in the future, His Majesty can use this excuse to reduce her punishment...

As for that mortal and the two children, Your Majesty can let them practice on their own.

If they can cultivate to become immortals, they can still be reunited in this life; otherwise, let them live out the rest of their lives like ordinary mortals..."

Lord Haotian nodded upon hearing this, "It seems that this is the only way."

As he spoke, without seeing how he moved, the clone that looked like a middle-aged wealthy businessman stretched out his hand, tore open a dark space crack and went in...
