Grand Preceptor Wen's expression changed. Only then did he remember that Ye Xuan was the East Emperor. Although he wasn't as strong as Daluo Jinxian, he was a supreme existence in the Celestial Court.
"Alright, the two celestial officials offended their superiors. It's understandable that the East Emperor killed them. Let's end this here."
Although the Jade Emperor couldn't wait to kill Ye Xuan, an emperor was an emperor. He wasn't someone anyone could slander. This was also the etiquette of the Celestial Court. If everyone offended their superiors, wouldn't he be the Jade Emperor in name only?
"East Emperor, why did you return to the Celestial Court instead of subduing demons in the lower realm?" The Jade Emperor asked in a dignified manner.
Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Ye Xuan smiled and directly stated his purpose for returning to the Celestial Court.
"I've heard that the South Sea Dragon King's ability to summon clouds and summon rain is extremely impressive. I hope that the Jade Emperor can ask the South Sea Dragon King to lend me a hand when I return to the Celestial Court."
"The South Sea Dragon King?"
The Jade Emperor's expression froze as his eyes gradually narrowed. A trace of doubt flashed through his eyes as he looked at Ye Xuan.
"The South Sea Dragon King violated the heavenly rules. He's a sinner. Why don't the East Emperor choose someone else? I can give the East Sea Dragon King a decree to help you destroy Mount Huaguo," the Jade Emperor said.
"Although the East Sea Dragon King's ability to summon clouds and summon rain is extremely impressive, he's a Water Dragon. The South Sea Dragon King's Fire Divine Ability is very useful to me. I hope that the Jade Emperor can fulfill my wish," Ye Xuan said.
The Jade Emperor was hesitant about Ye Xuan's request. However, before he could make a decision, Zhao Gongming and the others all spoke up. This made it difficult for him to reject, so he could only agree to Ye Xuan's request.
After all, the Jade Emperor had only given Ye Xuan 30,000 Heavenly Soldiers. If he could not even agree to such a simple request, it would be too obvious that he was targeting Ye Xuan. He would definitely be criticized.
However, the Jade Emperor did not know that the Purple Dragon King was the crown prince of the South Sea Dragon Palace. After all, he was in charge of the entire Three Realms. There were seventy-two demon monarchs in Mount Huaguo. He would not investigate them one by one. If the Jade Emperor knew that the Purple Dragon King was the crown prince of the South Sea Dragon Palace in the past, he would definitely not agree to Ye Xuan's request.
Perhaps some people would ask why Ye Xuan knew about the relationship between the Amethyst Dragon King and the Southern Sea Dragon King. This was a long story, and it would be explained slowly in the future.
The Jade Emperor bestowed a decree, and an immortal official took the decree to the South Sea in the lower realm. Seven days passed. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals brought an old man in ragged clothes into the Lingxiao Hall. The old man knelt in the Lingxiao Hall and kowtowed to the Jade Emperor.
"Little dragon Ao Lie of the lower realm greets the Jade Emperor."
Ao Lie had a head of fiery hair, and his body was bound by immortal iron chains. His dragon horns were cracked. At that moment, he was kowtowing to the Jade Emperor with tears in his eyes.
"Ao Lie, you violated the Heavenly Law in the past. You should have suffered a thousand generations in the Sea Eye of the South Sea. However, His Majesty understood the will of the heavens and ordered you to follow the East Pole Emperor to redeem yourself. Hurry up and thank His Majesty," Venus Taibai said pretentiously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ao Lie's tears flowed down his face. He kept kowtowing to the Jade Emperor.
"East Pole Emperor, the person you want is here. I hope that you can return in triumph soon," the Jade Emperor said sternly.
Then, he stood up and left the Lingxiao Hall. He did not look at Ao Lie from beginning to end. The immortals also left one after another. They did not stay in the Lingxiao Hall.
"Ao Lie, this is the East Pole Emperor. If the Emperor did not speak, you would still be suppressed in the Sea Eye of the South Sea. Hurry up and thank the Emperor for his kindness," Zhao Gongming said softly.
The Dragon King of the South Sea, Ao Lie, did not know who the East Pole Emperor was. He had never heard of such a person in the Celestial Court. However, he was not stupid. He quickly kowtowed to Ye Xuan, thanking Ye Xuan for saving him from his misery.
"You, come with me."
Ye Xuan looked deeply at Ao Lie. Then, he rode on an auspicious cloud and walked out of the Lingxiao Hall. Ao Lie did not dare to delay. He followed Ye Xuan and disappeared from the Lingxiao Hall.
…
Earth God Realm, Falling Cloud Mountain, East Pole Palace.
The Purple Dragon King, Ao Qing, was excited. He was pacing back and forth in the East Pole Palace. As Ye Xuan had sent a message yesterday, saying that he and his father could be reunited today, he had been waiting here for a long time. However, Ye Xuan had not returned.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a divine light flashed. Ye Xuan and the Dragon King of the South Sea appeared in the East Pole Palace.
When Ao Qing saw the Dragon King of the South Sea, he clenched his fists tightly. Tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably. He even knelt before the Dragon King of the South Sea.
"Father, I have made you suffer!"
Ao Qing kept kowtowing. This made the Dragon King of the South Sea weep. He helped Ao Qing up and said in a trembling voice, "It is all thanks to the East Pole Emperor's help. Otherwise, you and I would not be able to see each other again."
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Ao Qing bowed to Ye Xuan. His eyes were filled with gratitude. It was obvious that Ye Xuan had helped him save his father. He would remember this kindness in his heart.
Seeing Ao Qing and his father reunited, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "You and your father have just been reunited. This emperor will not keep you any longer. Let's drink and chat again in a few days."
Ao Qing was stunned when he heard Ye Xuan's words. Bitterness flashed through his eyes. He knew what Ye Xuan wanted him to do. This was also the condition of their exchange.
"Emperor, I will take my leave first. I will definitely pay you a visit in a few days." Ao Qing bowed to Ye Xuan again, then left the East Pole Palace with his father.
Inside the East Pole Palace.
As Ao Qing and his father left, the smile on Ye Xuan's face gradually disappeared. A sinister and cold aura emanated from his body.
"Emperor, I don't understand. Why did you help him save the South Sea Dragon King and even let them reunite now? Aren't you afraid that Ao Qing will go back on his word?" Zhao Gongming walked out from the shadows with a worried look on his face.
It was no wonder that Zhao Gongming was worried about this matter. One had to know that Ye Xuan could use the South Sea Dragon King as a bargaining chip to prevent Ao Qing from taking action. But now that the father and son were reunited, it was equivalent to losing the ability to coerce Ao Qing. If the other party were to turn hostile and not recognize him, wouldn't that be a double loss?
Hearing Zhao Gongming's worried words, Ye Xuan smiled strangely and said, "This emperor has allowed them to reunite. This shows that this emperor is open and aboveboard. This also shows this emperor's sincerity. As for what Ao Qing's choice will be, that will be up to him."
"Emperor, I have to remind you. Although you helped Ao Qing save the South Sea Dragon King and he is grateful to you, I'm afraid he won't betray Bai Hong."
Zhao Gongming's expression turned solemn as he continued, "In the past, Ao Qing was being chased by celestial soldiers and celestial generals. He fled all the way to Mount Huaguo. It was Bai Hong who killed all the celestial soldiers and took him into Mount Huaguo. He even nurtured him like a teacher and a father, allowing him to step into the Overarching Heaven Xuan Immortal Realm in just a few hundred thousand years.
"Bai Hong's kindness to him is greater than the heavens. I am certain that Ao Qing will never betray Bai Hong."
