The night was as deep as water. The stars in the sky rumbled as they revolved, and a dazzling river of stars traversed the sky. The numerous stars twinkled faintly within the river of stars, and the starlight that poured down illuminated the Earthly Immortal Realm, causing it to be peerlessly beautiful and mysterious.
Falling Cloud Mountain, East Palace.
The Extreme East Palace was named after Ye Xuan's Emperor title. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter. However, today, the Extreme East Palace welcomed a guest.
The Amethyst Dragon King, Ao Qing!
Ye Xuan had given Ao Qing twenty years of time. He had patiently waited for twenty years and was even more convinced that Ao Qing would come to see him.
Reality proved that Ye Xuan was right. The Amethyst Dragon King was standing before him, looking at him with a complicated gaze.
"I thought you would only come looking for me after a hundred years, but only twenty years have passed. It seems that you can't wait any longer," Ye Xuan said with a smile, his hands behind his back.
"Ye Xuan, can you really help me save my father?" Ao Qing's voice was low, but if one listened carefully, they would discover that his voice was trembling. It was proof of how excited he was.
"I am one of the four Celestial Emperors of the Celestial Court. I want to free the South Sea Dragon King and reunite you and your father. This is a very simple matter for me," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Please save my father, Celestial Emperor. Ao Qing will never forget your kindness."
Ao Qing bowed, lowering himself to the extreme. He knew that Ye Xuan was not lying. He was a Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Court. As long as he said the word, his father would no longer be tortured.
Ye Xuan looked at Ao Qing, who was no longer as arrogant as before and had a respectful and courteous expression. He suddenly smiled and said, "Ao Qing, in this world, there are only gains and losses. I can let you and your father reunite, and what can you do for me?"
Ao Qing raised his head, a bitter look on his face. Of course, he knew that Ye Xuan would not help him for no reason. Since he had come here, he was already mentally prepared.
"Emperor, it's impossible for you to subdue Mount Huaguo. Bai Hong is an Allheaven Golden Immortal and has a deep relationship with the Divine Fighting Buddha. Even if I'm willing to help you, it's just a drop in the bucket," Ao Qing said bluntly.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own decisions. I just need you to lend me a hand at a critical moment. That will be enough."
"Of course, before you help me, I will save the South Sea Dragon King first. That is my sincerity to you," Ye Xuan smiled, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
No one knew what the Violet Dragon King Ao Qing and Ye Xuan were talking about in the middle of the night. At the first glimmer of dawn, Ao Qing quietly disappeared from the Extreme East Palace.
Within the East Pole Palace.
Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ao Qing's departing figure. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Bai Hong, you're really funny. You use your so-called brotherhood to lead Mount Huaguo, but you don't know that the cheapest thing in the world is brotherhood. You've never considered what they want. In the face of true benefits, your so-called brothers will let you know the true cruelty of human nature."
… …
Celestial Court, Lingxiao Hall.
Thousands of rays of auspicious light shone brilliantly.
The Jade Emperor sat on his throne, the immortals flanking him. However, everyone's expression was somewhat gloomy, making the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Hall even more oppressive.
A full twenty years had passed. Ye Xuan's actions were naturally known to the immortals of the Celestial Court.
He was neighbors with demons, did not fight or kill, and was even on good terms with the demon kings. This completely overturned the Jade Emperor's and the immortals' worldview.
"Your Majesty, the East Pole Emperor is too daring. Not only did he not follow Your Majesty's orders, he even befriended demons in the lower realm. I implore Your Majesty to punish him."
"That's right. Right now, the entire Three Realms are mocking our Celestial Court for being useless. The so-called East Pole Emperor is even afraid of the demons of Mount Huaguo. Our Celestial Court's reputation has long been tarnished. If we don't punish the East Pole Emperor, our Celestial Court's prestige will plummet." Two immortal officials stepped out from the crowd, their words extremely intense.
"I second that."
"I second that as well."
The Chan School's immortals stepped out one after another. Clearly, Ye Xuan's actions had already displeased the Chan School immortals.
"What a joke."
Zhao Gongming walked out and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. The East Pole Emperor definitely has his own plans. Perhaps it's just that the time isn't right, so he's just temporarily enduring."
As Zhao Gongming took the lead to speak, the other immortals of the Chan School also rushed to agree. This also caused the Chan School and Jie School to be at odds with the Celestial Court. For a moment, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
The Jade Emperor, the Master of the Three Realms, had a terrible expression on his face right now. He wanted nothing more than to kill Ye Xuan. He could not understand why the trash of Mount Huaguo did not kill Ye Xuan. Instead, they allowed Ye Xuan to be their neighbor.
"Your Majesty …"
Just as the Jade Emperor was about to speak, a figure appeared silently in the Lingxiao Hall. Instantly, the Jade Emperor's words stopped, and the immortals fell silent.
"Greetings, East Pole Emperor."
Zhao Gongming was the first to snap back to his senses. His face was filled with joy as he bowed to Ye Xuan. This caused the immortals of the Chan School to bow to him as well.
Ye Xuan, dressed in a green emperor's robe, stood in the Lingxiao Hall. He first nodded to Zhao Gongming, then looked at the two immortal officials and said calmly, "Are the two of you the ones who want to punish me?"
Ye Xuan's appearance caused the two immortal officials' faces to turn pale. However, the two of them were censors of the Celestial Court and immortals of the Chan School. If they showed fear, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Chan School?
Furthermore, the two of them did not believe that Ye Xuan could do anything to them in the Lingxiao Hall with the Jade Emperor and the other immortals beside him.
"Ye Xuan, His Majesty asked you to go down to the lower realm to eliminate demons. Instead, you are stationed in the Huaguo Mountain and associate yourself with demons all day long. This is simply ruining the reputation of the Celestial Court. As censors of the Celestial Court, we naturally have to set things right and uphold justice."
"That's right. Ye Xuan, since you have returned to the Celestial Court, you can explain to His Majesty why you associate yourself with demons and disobey His Majesty's orders to eliminate demons."
The two immortal officials spoke with confidence and assurance. However, they did not notice the cold murderous intent in Ye Xuan's eyes.
Bang!
Without even a single word of nonsense, Ye Xuan struck out with his palm right in front of the immortals and the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Hall, instantly turning the two immortal officials into dregs and even causing their souls to scatter and die.
"Little immortal officials, how dare you be disrespectful to Your Majesty. You are courting death." Ye Xuan's voice was sinister, causing the entire Lingxiao Hall to feel extremely oppressed.
"Ye Xuan, how dare you kill immortals of the Celestial Court in the Lingxiao Hall?"
Grand Preceptor Wen was furious and reprimanded loudly. However, what he received was Ye Xuan's cold gaze.
"I am the East Emperor of the Celestial Court. I have the power of life and death. Even if you are Grand Preceptor Wen, not to mention two mere immortal officials, you have disrespected Your Majesty. There is nothing wrong with killing you." Ye Xuan said coldly.
"You …!"
