Chapter 238 Heavenly Soldiers Descend

"Big brother, we're all packed up."

"What...what is that?"

The package in Yang Jian's hand fell to the ground. Looking at the dark, approaching clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, the densely packed figures on the clouds were enough to make one's blood run cold.

"It's so hot."

Yang Chan hurriedly hid behind Yang Jiao, feeling the rising temperature around her, and couldn't help but feel uneasy and afraid.

Yao Ji held the sword and shielded the children behind her.

Soon, the Great Golden Crow, clad in golden armor, and Marshal Tianpeng led a group of heavenly soldiers in.

"The Jade Emperor decreed that Yao Ji be arrested and brought to justice, and that Yang Tianyou, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan, father and sons, be executed on the spot and cast into the Land of Eternal Calamity."

The Great Golden Crow's voice was icy cold and carried an invisible pressure.

Yao Ji met his gaze without flinching, then turned to look tenderly at her three children: "Children, do not be afraid. Have the courage to face all difficulties and disasters."

The Great Golden Crow stepped forward and coldly questioned, "Yao Ji, are you going to defy the imperial decree?"

“Big Golden Crow, you were raised by your aunt, and your aunt is willing to go to heaven with you. But please, for the sake of our blood ties, spare your uncle and your cousins.”

Yao Ji pleaded with the Great Golden Crow, whose eyes flickered but quickly hardened: "In the eyes of the Great Golden Crow, there is only the imperial decree, not kinship."

The heavenly soldiers arrived too quickly; the servants of the Yang household hadn't even had time to leave. Yao Ji immediately asked, "Now, shouldn't the servants and maids be able to leave?"

Before the Great Golden Crow could speak, Marshal Tianpeng behind him coughed lightly and stepped forward to whisper in the Great Golden Crow's ear, "The Jade Emperor only ordered the capture of Yao Ji. I think we shouldn't implicate others."

The Great Golden Crow did not refuse, and Tianpeng waved his hand directly: "Let's all go."

The servants glanced at the Yang family members, and Yang Jiao nodded slightly. Without further hesitation, the servants hurriedly left the Yang residence.

At this moment, Yao Ji turned around and told the three children about her origins. The Great Golden Crow stared intently at them and noticed this scene. It narrowed its eyes slightly and looked at Yang Jiao, whom it had previously ignored.

Strangely, upon seeing Yang Jiao, the Great Golden Crow faintly sensed a slight surge of blood within its veins.

"Mother has broken the heavenly law, but you are innocent. Mother will now release you from your restraints..." As she said this, Yao Ji looked at Yang Jiao with a complicated expression. She was not sure what changes would occur to Jiao'er after the restraints were released, but she had to act quickly.

Looking at the celestial soldiers and generals densely packed above the clouds, Yao Ji continued to instruct, "Remember, only by fighting the celestial soldiers and generals to the death will you have a chance to survive."

After saying that, Yao Ji's hand emitted a faint light, which touched Yang Jian and Yang Chan, while when it came to Yang Jiao, she formed a very complex hand seal.

Tianpeng, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly: "What's the background of Yaoji's eldest son?"

Even the Great Golden Crow couldn't help but frown and stare intently. Thirty-six Spirit-Locking Techniques! Just how outstanding is Yang Jiao's talent that he needs thirty-six Spirit-Locking Techniques?

A pale golden light emerged from Yang Jiao's body, dissipating like chains. When the light faded, Yang Jiao looked no different from Yang Jian and Yang Chan, showing no obvious changes.

But only Yao Ji, who had opened her Heavenly Eye, stared in shock at the purple aura above Yang Jiao's head. How could it be purple aura? How could Jiao'er possess primordial purple aura!

Sensing Yao Ji's loss of composure, Yang Tianyou, unaware of the situation, knew this must be something that couldn't be known by others. He quickly stepped in front of Yao Ji, blocking the view of others towards Yang Jiao.

"Wait a minute, Great Golden Crow, you only know that Yao Ji has fallen in love with mortals, but do you know how she did it?"

Seeing that attention had been drawn to him, Yang Tianyou continued, "Her heart was shattered by the Three-Headed Flood Dragon, and she had already died once. To save her, I gave her my heart. Now she has my heart inside her body, so for all these years, I have been the one controlling her."

"Yao Ji did not violate the heavenly rules; it was I who violated them..."

"Tianyou." Yaoji tried to stop him, but Yang Tianyou still looked at the Great Golden Crow with determination: "If you want to capture someone, just capture me."

Tianpeng pursed his lips and looked at the Great Golden Crow: "Your Highness, what Yang Tianyou said makes sense. I think we should report the truth to the Jade Emperor and then decide whether to exterminate the entire family."

The Great Golden Crow seemed unmoved: "Marshal Tianpeng, the Jade Emperor's meaning is already very clear!"

Tianpeng took a deep breath: "No matter what, this princess is your father's own sister. She may have been angry and wanted to kill him, but she will be reasonable once she calms down. Even gods should have a compassionate heart, right?"

The Great Golden Crow gave him a cold look: "Our orders are to capture Yao Ji and exterminate the entire Yang family. You have something to say to the Jade Emperor."

Without giving Tianpeng a chance to plead further, the Great Golden Crow looked up at the heavenly soldiers and generals on the clouds: "Fire the arrows!"

Countless arrows shot down from the clouds. Before Yao Ji could make a move, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu leaped out, transforming into the enormous bodies of a white tiger and a qilin. With a roar, all the arrows reversed direction, knocking the heavenly soldiers to the ground.

Everyone was surprised. If the Yang family was delighted, then the Great Golden Crow and Tianpeng were astonished. How could the White Tiger and the Qilin appear here?

The Great Golden Crow waved its hand, signaling the heavenly soldiers to stop and retreat. The clouds receded slightly, and the Great Golden Crow looked at the two beasts and questioned, "White Tiger and Qilin, what do you mean by this? Are you going to oppose the Heavenly Court?"

"laugh"

Xiao Wu sneered, "I've got the Yang family under my protection, don't you understand? This is self-defense!"

Xiao Liu doesn't like to reason, and he loves to expose people's shortcomings: "Hey, little Golden Crow brat, were you out of your mind in Tang Valley? The Heavenly Court has been reorganized, and you've already recognized a Daoist boy as your father. You wouldn't recognize whoever sits on the throne as your father, would you?"

"presumptuous!"

The Great Golden Crow was furious. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Tianpeng hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Your Highness, Your Highness, today's matter is too complicated, involving the White Tiger and Qilin clans. Judging from their strength and longevity, we may not have the upper hand in a fight. Why don't we report to the Jade Emperor first?"

This time, the Great Golden Crow did not refuse immediately, clearly wary of their existence. Of course, only he knew whether he had any doubts about Xiao Liu's words.

Noticing his hesitation, Tianpeng pressed on: "Your Highness, this is no longer just about capturing Yaoji. It involves the Qilin clan, which has been living in seclusion for a long time, and the White Tiger clan, which has a close but distant relationship with the Heavenly Court. The waters are very deep. We can't handle this if we don't report back."

The Great Golden Crow glared at him, clearly seeing that Tianpeng wanted to exonerate Yaoji. But he had something on his mind, coupled with an inexplicable feeling, and ultimately gave Yaoji a deep look before ordering, "Go!"

The celestial soldiers instantly rode away on the clouds. In mid-air, the Great Golden Crow looked back one last time, seeing Yang Jiao being shielded by Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji. He had a premonition that the appearance of the White Tiger and the Qilin was inextricably linked to this kid...
