Chapter 244 Separation
I never expected the Jade Emperor to be like this!
Everyone looked at the Jade Emperor in astonishment, and even Laozi couldn't help but shake his head, thinking it was simply too unscrupulous.
After the Yang family members finished their farewells, the Jade Emperor immediately conjured a great mountain and suppressed Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou in a secret chamber at the foot of the mountain. The two secret chambers were adjacent but not connected, separated by a wall, making it impossible for Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou to see each other again.
That's not all. The key point is that, unlike ordinary people who use talismans to suppress, the Jade Emperor directly used the Heavenly Laws to suppress!
If breaking through the talisman's suppression is level one, then breaking through the Heavenly Laws' suppression is level one hundred! The Jade Emperor is really going all out to obtain the Purple Qi, he's not putting on an act at all.
Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Jade Emperor remained calm and composed, chuckling to himself. He'd lived for countless years; his skin was thick enough to withstand any temptation of the purple aura! In any case, once it was in his hands, he would never allow it to leak out!
Even though he still looked down on Yang Jian and Yang Chan's strength, that didn't stop him from preemptively eliminating any possibility of losing their purple aura.
With Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou suppressed, and the Jade Emperor possessing the Purple Qi, he had no intention of lingering and left with the Heavenly Court.
Yang Jian and Yang Chan stared with red eyes at the direction their parents were suppressing, still reeling from the shock, when they had to say goodbye to Yang Jiao.
"Young friend, it's time for us to set off."
Jieyin and Zhunti stood in the courtyard, radiating a peaceful yet irresistible aura, signaling to Yang Jiao that it was time to depart.
Yang Jian and Yang Chan held onto Yang Jiao's arms tightly, one on each side, their eyes reddening and tears welling up, their faces filled with reluctance.
"Big brother, don't go, we can't bear to part with you." Yang Chan's voice was choked with sobs as she gripped Yang Jiao's sleeve tightly with both hands, as if her brother would disappear if she let go.
Yang Jian was also trembling and shedding tears. No matter how well he thought about it, he still couldn't bear to let go. Once he let go, he didn't know when they would meet again.
Yang Jiao's eyes were filled with tenderness and reluctance as he gently stroked their heads and softly comforted them, "Second Brother, Third Sister, don't cry. You must support each other and live well. Little Five will always be with you and protect you."
He paused, his eyes filled with anticipation: "I believe that one day, our family will be reunited."
Yang Jian and Yang Chan nodded frantically, as if this would make them see each other again sooner, much sooner.
Yang Jiao gave them a gentle smile one last time, gently pried their hands apart, and turned to follow Jieyin and Zhunti.
Yang Jian and Yang Chan stood frozen in place, watching Yang Jiao's departing figure. Only after the three figures completely disappeared, leaving only them and Xiao Wu in the empty courtyard.
"Big brother..."
Yang Jian cried out in anguish, embracing Yang Chan tightly, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. Little Wu, understanding their distress, nestled close to them, letting out a few soft sobs. For a moment, their cries echoed through the courtyard.
Xiao Wu was the first to compose himself and jumped onto Yang Jian's shoulder: "Alright, stop crying. Xiao Liu is with the Madam and the others, and Master is a mature adult now. Only you are left. Don't forget, you still need to learn how to split mountains."
"You're right, we need to learn skills."
Yang Jian wiped away his tears and nodded firmly. Yang Chan looked somewhat confused: "Then where should we go to learn skills?"
Yang Jian and Yang Chan both turned their gazes to Xiao Wu, who scratched his head with a paw: "This... my skills aren't something humans can learn..."
"What should we do then?" Yang Chan asked, somewhat dejected.
Yang Jian pondered for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we go and inquire about which powerful masters we can apprentice under?"
Xiao Wu nodded: "That makes sense." Then, his eyes darted around and he had an idea. "Let's go, let's recruit a few underlings for you and find out some information."
"What underling?"
"You'll find out when you come with me."
...
Meanwhile, Tiger and his two companions, who had been resting in the mountains for a long time, finally recovered from the fear of facing the White Tiger's oppressive aura. They were able to control their true forms and not reveal them. Tiger, however, couldn't stay still and wanted to go down the mountain.
"Oh, you're going out again..."
Fox Girl was somewhat reluctant; she had been genuinely frightened last time, and she didn't want to go out again.
"Tsk," Fifth Brother gently tugged at her, then turned to Tiger Brother with a fawning smile: "Tiger Brother is still missing a wife, so it's good to go out and take a look. Last time was just an accident."
“That’s right,” Tiger waved his hand, his momentum returning, “It was all an accident. I will definitely get my wife back this time!”
"The bandit's wife..."
"What are you doing? Your clothes are torn."
Fifth Brother moved his arm helplessly. Wasn't this all to prevent the tiger spirit from coveting her? Why was Fox Sister interrupting at this time?
The fox spirit tugged at his sleeve again in a panic, pointing ahead: "No... no, Ancestor, Ancestor..."
"I've already said I have nothing to do with this tiger spirit! Who is his ancestor!"
Before they could even see him, they heard his voice. Before Tiger and Fifth Brother could even look up, they heard that familiar, nightmarish voice and immediately knelt down.
Fox Girl was a little stunned, and hurriedly knelt down as well.
"Xiao Wu, is this the little... underling you found for us?"
Hearing a somewhat familiar female voice, Fifth Brother quietly looked up and saw Yang Chan holding "Little Ancestor" and Yang Jian following beside her.
“That’s right,” Xiao Wu nodded. “These three are the underlings I found for you. The one in the lead is a tiger demon, and the two behind him are fox demons. They were caught by me before when they secretly followed you to the Yang mansion.”
"Following us? Wouldn't that mean you have ulterior motives?"
Yang Jian frowned. Having experienced such a great change, he was now on high alert, and the Heavenly Eye that Yao Ji had fused with him before she left unconsciously opened on his forehead.
The golden light swept over the three kneeling figures below, and a faint killing intent emanated from them, causing them to freeze involuntarily.
Fifth Brother hurriedly explained, "It was an accident, it was all an accident. We're just ordinary people, we haven't done anything bad."
"Yes, yes," Tiger nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, I've checked them. The three of them don't have any evil energy, so they probably haven't done anything bad yet," Xiao Wu said. "It's just that their cultivation level is really average, so I don't know if they'll be of any use..."
"It's useful!" Fifth Brother quickly exclaimed, regardless of the two children's background. But he was determined to seize the opportunity to curry favor with this "little tyrant." "It's useful, it's useful. Just give us your orders, and we'll definitely be able to do it for you."
Yes, yes, yes.
At this point, Tiger could only nod, and Fox Girl nodded in agreement, staring at them expectantly. As wild fairies, without any backing, it was truly difficult to survive.
Yang Jian and Yang Chan exchanged a glance. Because they trusted Xiao Wu, they chose to believe them for the time being. Yang Jian asked, "Alright, then we'll believe you for now. What are your names?"
Without even thinking, Tiger was the first to speak: "Everyone calls me Tiger..."
"Tiger Brother? Who are you calling brother?" Xiao Wu slapped the tiger spirit to the ground in mid-air. The tiger spirit quickly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I come from the mountains and don't have a proper name. Why don't you give me one?"
Xiao Wu looked at Yang Jian and Yang Chan, clearly uninterested in the matter. Yang Chan thought for a moment and said, "Since you are a tiger spirit, then let's call you Mountain Lord."
"Alright, from now on, the little one will be called Mountain Lord."
The mountain king grinned, never expecting to receive such an elegant name.
The gaze shifted to Fifth Brother, whose eyes darted around before he humbly said, "My name is Xiao Wu..."
"Smack!"
Xiao Wu slapped him again, "I'm called Xiao Wu, and you're called Xiao Wu too?"
"My fault, my fault," Fifth Brother said in a panic. He hadn't expected his ancestor's name to be so simple. "Fox Five, I am the fifth in my family, so I am called Fox Five."
Xiao Wu barely managed to suppress his anger, and everyone's eyes turned to Fox Girl, making her tremble with fear, afraid of being slapped: "I, my name is Fox Girl."
After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one reacted.
At this moment, Yang Jian couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know of any suitable places to become an apprentice and learn martial arts?"
