Chapter 1005 - 488: The Turmoil of the Heavenly Court Is up to Yu Ding (Part 3)
The Daoist's figure was ethereal, as if merged with the entire Yuquan Mountain, his aura deep like the sea.
"Fellow Daoists have been watching outside my mountain gate for so long. Why not come in for a cup of tea and a chat before you leave?"
True Master Yu Ding wore an interested smile, his gaze leisurely sweeping over the heavenly soldiers and generals whose expressions had completely frozen in the void.
"Marshal."
All the heavenly soldiers shivered in unison, turned their heads, and stared angrily at Tian Peng with extremely resentful eyes.
They knew their black-hearted Marshal would never be so agreeable at such a time.
This was clearly a huge pit he had dug for them long ago.
Tian Peng, however, ignored the mournful cries of his subordinates, acting as though he hadn't heard a thing.
As soon as he saw True Master Yu Ding appear, he instantly shed his previous lazy and casual demeanor.
With a shake of his figure, a boundless aura soared skyward, immediately rejuvenating all his spirits.
The Upper Treasure Golden Rake in his hand radiated divine light, his golden armor glittered with brilliance, and his robe flapped fiercely under the surging divine power.
In an instant, he transformed into a figure of imposing majesty, with an aura that was both overwhelming and awe-inspiring, resembling a true War God.
Holding the rake in hand, Tian Peng pointed at the Daoist before him, eyes glaring with rage.
He gathered his immortal power and let out a shout that shook the Jiuxiao.
"Hey, True Master Yu Ding, do you know your crime?!"
This unexpected shout caught all the heavenly soldiers and generals off guard, leaving them dumbfounded.
What did they see?
What did they hear?
Their Marshal, who usually knew how to protect himself best, was briskly berating a Chan Sect Golden Immortal at this moment?
After all, that's a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Oh Jade Emperor.
Now, this seems to be really troublesome.
Faced with Tian Peng's thunderous reprimand, True Master Yu Ding's eyes quickly flickered with surprise that seemed perfectly appropriate, without any unnecessary movements.
He still stood calmly on the cloud, brushed his sleeve, and responded quietly, "What crime has this poor Daoist committed?"
Tian Peng shouted sternly, his voice rolling like thunder.
"I am acting on the order of the Heavenly Emperor to capture Yang Jian, a wanted criminal of the Heavenly Court. He has escaped into your Yuquan Mountain and has not been seen for a long time. You must be hiding him."
"Harboring a wanted criminal from the Heavenly Court, isn't this a grave crime?"
After hearing this, True Master Yu Ding suddenly laughed.
His smile contained three parts ridicule, six parts pride, and one part casual indifference. (Manually humorous)
"From your words, Marshal, are you trying to slander this poor Daoist for harboring a criminal?"
"Then today, this poor Daoist must engage in some serious discourse with Marshal."
"After all, disciples of the Yuxu Lineage practice great virtue and follow the righteous path; each one is a sincere and upright cultivator, and can never be falsely tainted with such a stigma."
As the last word "stigma" dropped, True Master Yu Ding's eyes suddenly opened.
In an instant, the ancient sword behind him rang out, transforming into millions of dazzling rainbow lights, illuminating the void and piercing through the sea of clouds.
An explosion of infinite divine power erupted, the intensity of the sword intent seemed to want to pierce a hole in the Nine Heavens.
Tian Peng's face changed drastically.
He desperately raised the Nine-toothed Nail Rake in his hand, swiftly forming seals with both hands, and let out an earth-shattering shout.
"Well, Yu Ding, you have great guts, not only harboring criminals but also daring to threaten the lives of my eighty thousand Heavenly River Navy to compel me to conform?"
True Master Yu Ding was momentarily stunned, evidently not expecting Tian Peng to respond so swiftly.
But his reaction was also remarkably quick; he immediately cooperated by controlling his sword with divine thought.
The boundless sword qi, transformed by millions of sword lights, instantly turned into a giant Sword Qi Cage, tightly encircling the eighty thousand Water Army.
Eighty thousand Water Army: "..."
Seeing this, Tian Peng was so angry that he "trembled all over," pointing at True Master Yu Ding with another tragic and furious shout that resonated throughout Jiuxiao.
"Rest assured, my men, I will return with reinforcements and rescue you from this cage."
After shouting these aggressive words for the occasion,
Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, amidst the watchful eyes of countless Great Powers across the Three Realms, made a shocking move.
He directly abandoned the entire Heavenly River Navy behind him, body shining with golden light as he ascended, dashed into the divine rainbow, and ran off without a shred of hesitation.
True Master Yu Ding, seeing this, also shouted towards the sky, starting his freestyle effort.
"Does the Heavenly Court feel chaotic? This poor Daoist decides!"
He held his head high, his voice echoing throughout the Three Realms.
"Tian Peng, hurry back to inform the Heavenly Emperor to lift the wanted notice for Yang Jian as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, when my disciple's divine skills are complete, he will personally bring the sword to the Heavenly Court to present the pros and cons."
With these words, silence fell over the Three Realms, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
The golden divine rainbow hurriedly fleeing toward the Heavenly Realm suddenly braked in mid-air, abruptly halting.
Under the gaze of countless onlookers, Marshal Tian Peng's eyes turned upward, his legs softened.
His figure, like a meteor losing propulsion, plummeted straight from the clouds outside Jiuxiao.
From within the golden light, the chilling screams of Marshal Tian Peng could faintly be heard.
"Such… such great divine skills, it pains me so."
In his heart, he bellowed wildly.
[Daoist, your freestyle was simply amazing, but please refrain from doing it next time.]
To deceive people so profoundly.
You've left me no face to return and report back to the Emperor.
If the Emperor doesn't hit me with three thousand hammers to release anger, it would be a surprise.
Can't do it, can't do it.
This job can't be done at all.
I'm slipping away now, goodbye.
In a moment of clarity, Tian Peng decisively abandoned plans to return to the Heavenly Realm, steering the precarious golden light toward a direction in the Mortal World to lay low for the time being.
True Master Yu Ding brought back memories only after realizing he might have overdone his freestyle earlier.
But with the atmosphere already built up, and the words already spoken, there's no turning back now, right?
"It's nothing but rebellion against the Heavenly Court, what's there to fear?"
True Master Yu Ding stroked his chin, quickly devising the perfect solution for himself.
"At worst, let Yang Jian steer in the direction of Doushuai Temple when he attacks then."
"Second Uncle will understand."
He swiftly cleared his thoughts and happily turned back to Yuquan Mountain.
He was eager to educate his extraordinarily gifted disciple.
Anyway, since the boast or promise was made, he must find a way to fulfill it, even if with tears.
If it really can't be fulfilled, it's fine; if the heavens collapse, naturally, Master above will hold it up.
Just like this.
Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy fled in disgrace.
True Master Yu Ding contentedly returned to the mountain.
Leaving the eighty thousand Heavenly River Navy surrounded by boundless Sword Qi, stranded alone in the cold void.
"Marshal… is gone."
A heavenly soldier murmured.
"What… what do we do?"
Another heavenly soldier asked blankly.
They looked at the vast sky over their heads, and then the unfathomable earth beneath their feet.
Lastly, they looked at the shimmering sword qi around them, exuding terrifying killing intent, seeming ready to fall at any moment.
Eighty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals collectively fell into long silence.
Fine.
Just stay there.
Anyway, they are divine generals of the Heavenly Realm, with prolonged lifespans.
Won't starve.
Out of boredom, the heavenly soldiers and generals sat cross-legged in the void and began to observe the sword qi cage.
"Hey, don't you say."
"This sword is really a sword!"
