In a small courtyard of the Thunder Division of the Celestial Court, Xiang Haochu stood outside the door and looked inside with concern.
Since Xiang Tiandi returned to the Celestial Court, he had been placed under house arrest in this small courtyard. All kinds of rumors were spreading in the Thunder Division, which made Xiang Haochu very worried about his father's condition.
Especially when he saw the heavy protection outside the small courtyard, and even three upright gods guarding it, Xiang Haochu felt the seriousness of the situation.
His father, Xiang Tiandi, was being guarded like a prisoner.
This time, he finally got permission to visit Xiang Tiandi because he wanted to ask his father what he could do to help him.
Opening the door of the small courtyard, he saw a winding stone path and verdant old trees. The scenery was green like a real mountain forest, not at all like the house where Xiang Tiandi was imprisoned.
A familiar figure appeared in a small pavilion. He was sitting cross-legged, looking at the mountains and rivers in the small courtyard, not moving at all.
"Father …" Xiang Haochu walked to the pavilion and whispered, "Are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?" Xiang Tiandi said without turning his head, "It's a mess outside, isn't it?"
Xiang Haochu said, "Everyone is talking about the failure of the encirclement against the Heaven-Defying Sect. Now most people think that you are being punished for the failure, so they are keeping you in custody."
"Humph." Xiang Tiandi sneered, "What about the other upright gods of the Thunder Division?"
Xiang Haochu shook his head, "No upright gods have spoken."
Xiang Tiandi's voice became lower and lower, like the muffled thunder in the summer sky, resounding in the small courtyard, "What about the Island of Immortals? What's their reaction? Did Ming Yue make any more trouble? "
Xiang Haochu said, "No, after Immortal Ming Yue returned to the Island of Immortals, he seems to have gone into closed-door cultivation to recover his cultivation. Tu Guishen was called for questioning by the Celestial Master and has not returned yet … "
One by one, Xiang Tiandi told him everything that had happened inside and outside the Heaven. He told him about the righteous gods, the immortals, and the cultivators in the central city. Basically, he answered everything Xiang Tiandi asked.
This made Xiang Haochu feel like he had returned to the time when he was instructed by his father and answered all kinds of questions every night.
After a long time, Xiang Tiandi sighed faintly and said, "Haochu, you've worked hard these days."
Xiang Haochu asked worriedly, "Father, what should we do next?"
Xiang Tiandi's voice gradually became indistinct again. "Don't worry. As long as the God Emperor hasn't said anything, there's still a chance."
"Haochu, you have to be careful outside. Try not to leave the Thunder Clan, and don't provoke the people of Myriad Immortal Island. If they can't deal with me, maybe they'll deal with you. "
Feeling the care in his father's words, Xiang Haochu's mouth revealed a warm smile. Among all the immortal god seeds, he was the only one who could feel a father's love. This kind of care from Xiang Tiandi made him respect his father very much.
Thus, Xiang Haochu finally could not help but ask the question that had been stuck in his heart ever since the Battle of Heaven, "Father … You … Do you really have the Demon Bloodline? If the God Emperor finds out about the demon bloodline, will he still stand on our side? "
"Silly child." Xiang Tiandi smiled. "Come up, I'll tell you."
Xiang Haochu took a few steps forward and heard the man say, "A little closer …"
"A little closer …"
With every word Xiang Tiandi said, his voice seemed to become sharper and sharper, as if a knife was scraping in his throat, revealing a kind of anxiety.
Xiang Haochu walked into the pavilion and asked hesitantly, "Father, are you all right?"
"What can happen to me?" Xiang Tiandi suddenly turned around, a trace of struggle in his eyes, and finally said with a gentle smile, "Recently, I've been a little impatient while practicing, and some of my Qi went astray."
Looking at Xiang Haochu in front of him, he stretched out his palm and touched his head. "Haochu, you've grown up without me knowing."
"During the time I'm not here, you have to continue to practice the Ninth Heaven Devil Sweeping Thunder Technique. Don't relax."
"I left you some pills and some treasures in your room. Use them for yourself, but don't show them."
"In the future, when you do things, you must leave a way out. Before thinking about winning, think about losing first. Always learn to keep a trump card. "
"Remember to sweep your mother's grave every year …"
Listening to Xiang Tiandi's long-winded explanation, a sense of sorrow welled up in Xiang Haochu's heart. He couldn't help but ask, "Father … is it that serious this time?"
"Don't worry, I'll be locked up for a while at most." Xiang Tiandi only comforted Xiang Haochu, and finally said, "If anything happens in the future, go find Marshal Nine Firmaments. He's someone you can trust."
With that, Xiang Tiandi waved his hand, and a gentle primordial spirit lifted Xiang Haochu up and sent him out. "Alright, you can go."
"Father!" Xiang Haochu felt a sense of fear welling up in his heart. He instinctively felt that after leaving this time, he would never be able to see his father again.
He struggled to go back, but his father's primordial spirit firmly and gently pushed him towards the door of the small courtyard.
Xiang Haochu's eyes reddened. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly smelled a fishy smell.
He turned around and saw that the door of the small courtyard had become a large mouth at some point.
Pfft!
…
Half an hour later, Xiang Haochu's eyes widened as he stared at Xiang Tiandi, who was in the gazebo.
Suddenly, a foot landed on Xiang Haochu's cheek, and his head flew out.
"Don't eat things everywhere. You should change this bad habit."
The Heaven Monarch of Death Pestilence retracted his right foot, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and then looked at the figure in the gazebo. He laughed excitedly. "This is the real Xiang Tiandi. Congratulations, you've finally overcome your mental demons."
"Our Demon-Buster Marshal is back."
Xiang Tiandi turned around, revealing the bloodstains on his lips. As he opened and closed his eyes, a cold glint flashed in all directions. He was filled with a disregard for life, and there was no trace of emotion.
He said lightly, "Are they satisfied now?"
The Heaven Monarch of Death Pestilence smiled and said, "Don't worry … we will help you deal with this matter. Now that you've overcome your mental demons, your value has greatly increased. Now, you should focus on cultivating and strive to break through to 140% Dao Transformation Proficiency as soon as possible. "
Xiang Tiandi asked, "Why didn't anyone from the Celestial Court come to help?"
The Heaven Monarch of Death Pestilence said coldly, "Someone suppressed the news."
"Who?"
The Heaven Monarch of Death Pestilence looked up at the sky and sneered. "Who else in the Celestial Court can suppress such a huge matter?"
Xiang Tiandi was silent for a while, and then he asked, "Where is Zhou Bai?"
The Heaven Monarch of Death Pestilence said, "Right now, the Celestial Court looks calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging underneath. We don't have the time to care about Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai for now. Everything has to wait until we settle the matter at Myriad Immortal Island. Why? You want to find him for revenge? "
Xiang Tiandi sneered, his eyes emitting a cruel glint. He licked the bloodstains on the corner of his lips and said, "Nothing, I just want to taste him."
