Hearing Nezha's impatient words, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King,'s eyelids twitched.

But in the end, he held back his anger and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the Heavenly Venerable going to preach for three months? Why don't you stay at the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain and run to Guanjiangkou?"

Nezha rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean by preaching for three months? That was just a lie that Master told you. He didn't want me to get involved in this mess, so he just thought of a way to coax me to Yuxu Palace..."

"ha?!"

Li Jing was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Then why did you come to court again?"

Nezha said as if it was a matter of course: "The Grand Master had something for me to do, so I sneaked back while he was away!"

Li Jing's cheek muscles twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his thousands of emotions into a long sigh.

Nezha's little cotton-padded jacket has always been leaking, and he has gotten used to it. However, he did not expect that the leak would be indiscriminate, and even his master Taiyi Zhenren was treated like this.

While Li Jing felt sorry in his heart, he suddenly felt balanced.

…

…

On the other side, the battle between Yamu and Huaguang Tianjiang has come to an end.

General Hua Guangtian felt that he had lost the meaning of continuing to fight, so he became perfunctory during the fight.

Yamu noticed this and instantly felt bored.

Finally, an envoy from heaven came and ended the meaningless fight between the two.

Hua Guang Tianjiang used wind and fire to ward off Yamu, and then retracted his three-headed, six-armed Dharma body, galloped over from a distance, landed on the Dragon-Slaying Platform, knelt on one knee with a respectful expression, ready to receive the order.

The angel, wearing a tall white hat, first glanced at Bai Lang under the Dragon-Slaying Stage and Yamu flying from afar, and then pretended to take out the Jade Emperor's golden edict and read it aloud.

Yamu flew from afar and landed beside Bailang, listening thoughtfully to the Jade Emperor's order.

Leaving aside those fancy words, the general meaning is that the chief judge who supervised the execution of the Jinghe Dragon King was absent due to some reasons, resulting in the failure of the execution. The Heavenly Court planned to detain the Jinghe Dragon King first and wait for future disposal.

"As for the two of you..."

The angel put away the golden decree, looked at Bai Lang and Ya Mu, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty has sent someone to meet the Emperor. The Emperor will make the final decision later."

"Look, let me tell you!"

Bai Lang sent a message to Yamu, winking and grinning.

Yamu twitched his lips and said in a voice transmission: "But in the end, Brother Long still became a prisoner..."

"Of course. Do you think the Heavenly Court doesn't care about its reputation?" Bai Lang smiled and transmitted his voice, "Just watch. When everyone forgets about this matter in the future, the Dragon King of Jinghe will be free again!"

As the two were communicating with each other, the angel seemed to have received some news.

His expression became strange, and then he coughed twice. In the puzzled look of Hua Guang Tianjiang, he spoke seriously, asking him to quickly take a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to take the Jinghe Dragon King to the prison in Heaven.

Hua Guang, the heavenly general, had no doubt about it and immediately accepted the order respectfully. He led five thousand heavenly soldiers and generals and took the Jinghe Dragon King away on a cloud.

Only then did the angel breathe a sigh of relief, glanced around, and then came to Yamu and Bailang who were looking surprised.

"Two true masters," the angel asked in a low voice, "You two are both the emperor's confidants. Do you know where the emperor is now?"

“…”

Bai Lang and Ya Mu were slightly startled, and then asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that the Heavenly Court had already sent someone to see the Emperor? Why are you asking me where the Emperor is now?"

The angel looked embarrassed and quickly explained in a low voice: "Earlier, the God of the Year, Li Bing, sent a message saying that the Emperor appeared near the Five Elements Mountain. As a result, Taibai Jinxing rushed there and found that the Emperor had already left!"

Bai Lang and Yamu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The former asked with some amusement: "So you can't find the Emperor now?"

The angel smiled awkwardly but politely, and explained in a low voice: "The Emperor is as noble as the sky. It is difficult to predict his whereabouts with ordinary means. We can only know a little bit by relying on the eyes and ears of the Three Realms."

"etc!"

Bai Lang smiled as he looked at the angel from heaven and said seriously, "Let me sort things out. You are planning to report us to the Emperor and you want us to tell you where the Emperor is... Old angel, do you think we are stupid?"

The angel was a little anxious, and quickly explained: "Master, you are joking. You and I both know the consequences of this matter. Why do we have to fuss over such a thing?"

"He's right."

Yamu stopped Bai Lang and said unhappily, "Old Bai, don't be so ungrateful. The boss is fearless, but we are not... Old angel, wait a moment, I'll ask for you."

After saying that, Yamu took out the Void Jade Card and started a private chat with Lin Zhongtian.

Bai Lang spread his hands and gave the old angel a friendly smile.

Soon, Yamu put away the Void Jade Plate, looked at the angel and said, "I got it."

The angel was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Where is it?"

Yamu looked a little strange, and said softly: "Guanzhou in Shuzhong, Guanjiangkou."

…

…

But after the morning court session, Nezha left the Lingxiao Palace and went straight down the Nantianmen to Guanjiangkou in Shu.

When they arrived at the mansion complex, in front of Erlang Temple, Nezha put away his lotus armor, transformed himself into a handsome young man in white clothes, then smiled, and walked forward to knock on the door.

"Second brother! Second brother!"

"Open the door quickly, Nezha is here to drink with you!"

“Crack—”

The gate of Erlang Temple was opened from the inside.

But what caught Nezha's eyes was not the familiar handsome face, but an old Taoist with a serious expression and a long white beard.

The old Taoist looked Nezha up and down, then said expressionlessly, "Are you here?"

Nezha was stunned. After a long time, he swallowed and nodded reluctantly.

The old Taoist opened the door and said unhappily, "Come in, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Nezha smiled awkwardly, quickly jumped into the temple, and diligently closed the door for the Taoist priest.

Turning around again, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear - there was a different world inside the Erlang Temple.

The first thing that appeared in front of Nezha was a magnificent training ground. The training ground was filled with weapon racks filled with eighteen kinds of weapons. Further away were training rooms and arenas, which were specially used for the soldiers under Erlang Shen to practice and compete.

As a special existence in the heavenly palace, Erlang Shen Yang Jian always obeys orders but not instructions.

He has his own undisciplined private armed force, which consists of the Six Friends of Meishan and the 1,200 Grass-Headed Gods.

The so-called Grass-Headed God is not a god made from plant spirits, but is taken from the meaning of "grass-roots troupe". It is a god that has not been pardoned by the Heavenly Court. It is different from regular immortals and gods, but like Yang Erlang, it accepts the incense and faith of the human world, so it is called Grass-Headed God.

At this moment, on this training ground, hundreds of grass-headed gods with the cultivation level of true immortals and celestial immortals were training hard.

Some of them were fighting in martial arts competitions, some were drawing strong bows, and some were arranged in battle formations and practicing battle tactics under the command of the two generals.

One of the two generals wore iron armor with gold threads, a bright red brocade robe, and a steel mace at his waist.

The other one wore a forehead ornament, a black chain mail, a goose yellow brocade robe, and held a spear in his hand.

They were the fifth and sixth of the Six Friends of Meishan - Generals Guo Shen and Zhi Jian.

At this moment, seeing Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha walking into the training ground, the two generals immediately smiled and hurried forward to greet them.

"Third Prince, you are here as expected!"

"……really?"

Nezha looked surprised and could not help but turn his head to look at his master Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren just snorted lightly, looking calm and composed, without replying.

Guo Shen smiled and explained, "As early as half an hour ago, Taiyi Zhenren came to visit you and said that you left the cave without permission and would come to Guanjiangkou to visit the Second Master in a few days, so he came here to wait in advance."

Nezha: “…”

After coming back to his senses, Nezha couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "It's true that the higher the virtue, the higher the evil!"

When Taiyi Zhenren caught Nezha's words, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You... evil disciple!"

Nezha shrank his neck, sneered, and ran behind Taiyi Zhenren to massage his shoulders and back attentively.

"snort!"

Taiyi Zhenren snorted lightly, and his anger, which was just pretense, gradually dissipated with his disciple's diligence.

Seeing that his master was no longer angry, Nezha became bolder and asked with a smile, "Master, where is my second brother?"

Hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren's expression became somewhat solemn.

He shook his head and said, "There are distinguished guests visiting Guanjiangkou today, so Junior Brother Yang may not have time to see you."

"Distinguished guest?" Nezha looked puzzled. "What distinguished guest? More important than me...than you, Master?"

"Stop flattering me!" Taiyi Zhenren gave him a displeased look, then turned his head and looked forward, saying softly, "Master originally intended to lock you up in the Golden Light Cave to avoid the chaos in the Heavenly Palace that will follow."

"But who would have thought that you would actually sneak out of the cave by yourself, and happen to come to Guanjiangkou today."

At this point, Taiyi Zhenren paused, looked at Nezha's confused face and sighed, "Well, well, since you can't avoid it, Nezha, you should follow me to pay respect to the Emperor..."

Emperor?

Nezha was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Could it be that Zhongtian Emperor?"

"Why is he here?!"
