"You would stand in my way too!?"

The towering Yang Jian, like an Ancient Divine Mountain, stood erect in the vast starry sea, his crimson eyes glaring malevolently at Yu Yuan, who had suddenly appeared before him.

"Out of my way!"

A beam of golden light, thicker than a thousand arms, shot out from the third divine eye on Yang Jian's forehead, sweeping across towards Yu Yuan.

The ceaselessly regenerating strength of the mystical bird could revive all things but also possessed the divine might to clear all obstacles.

Under the drive of this power, even the Three-legged Golden Crow, transformed from the heavenly mandates, could be cut down as easily as slicing through vegetables by him!

However, to his surprise, Yu Yuan did not dodge in the face of this strike, simply standing in place, allowing the golden light to envelop him.

Yang Jian's brow furrowed, and the golden light shooting from his divine eye instantly dissipated.

"I do not wish to fight you!"

"What I seek is the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Let me pass!"

He was a clever man.

Even now, filled with extreme rage, he had still not lost his reason.

He knew that Yu Yuan was not to be trifled with.

Even though the divine power he inherited from his mother had fully awakened, increasing his strength greatly once again, he still was not entirely confident when facing Yu Yuan.

Under the current circumstances, he wanted nothing to do with Yu Yuan.

In his eyes, the most important thing now was to find that devious Heavenly Emperor!

Even if he were to fall in the Heavenly Court, he would have no regrets!

But if he were to waste his life on Yu Yuan, that would be utterly meaningless.

Therefore, he withdrew the power of the mystical bird.

"What a pity..."

Yu Yuan clicked his tongue.

Though it was brief, he had just tasted the power of the mystical bird.

Indeed, this power of the mystical bird was strong, capable of inflicting significant damage on him, but amid this power of destroying and sweeping away everything, there was an infinite vitality...

For Yu Yuan, this power was a real wound!

It was fortunate that Yang Jian was sensible and had withdrawn the power of the mystical bird at once; otherwise, Yu Yuan might have found it hard not to take action.

"Martial brother Yu Yuan!"

Marshal Tianpeng, suppressing the sourness in his heart, called out loudly: "Yang Jian has barged into the Heavenly Court by force, causing wanton destruction and injuring numerous Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!

As a Jie Sect Immortal, you surely cannot turn a blind eye to such conduct, can you?

I implore you to extend a hand and help me capture him!"

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look at him, his expression slightly surprised.

"Sorry, may I ask who you are?"

Tianpeng: "..."

Originally, he did not have a favorable impression of Yu Yuan for some reasons, and now, he was even more enraged, retorting indignantly: "My name is Tianpeng, and I am the Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy!"

"So it's Marshal Tianpeng!"

Yu Yuan, recognizing this renowned Water Army Grand Marshal from his memories, appeared slightly surprised.

Currently, the Marshal indeed seemed to have an imposing and formidable air.

"It's an honor that martial brother remembers my name!"

Marshal Tianpeng proudly said: "As a martial brother from the Inner Sect Disciples of Jie Sect, you are naturally esteemed... However, I too have attended sermons at Daluo Mountain under the tutelage of Young Master, which qualifies me as a nominal disciple of the Human Sect. It would be appropriate to address you as a martial brother, would it not?"

Yu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly; Tianpeng's tone seemed quite hostile towards him.

But before he could respond, he saw Yang Jian wielding his Mountain Opening Axe and cutting through the air towards them.

Clearly, Yang Jian was enraged.

Still, his strike still avoided Yu Yuan and headed straight for Marshal Tianpeng.

Tianpeng: (▼ヘ▼#)(〝▼皿▼)(▼へ▼メ)

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, is that it?

I knew it from the beginning!

You don't dare to strike at Yu Yuan, so you vent all your anger on me, do you?

Although he was extremely frustrated inside, he still charged towards the Mountain Opening Axe.

He dared not dodge!

If he were to dodge and Chang'e Fairy was not quick enough to get out of the way...

However, he did not end up catching that axe.

Because someone was faster than him.

With just a slight sway, Yu Yuan had already moved in front of the Mountain Opening Axe and then produced a colorful hammer in his hand, swinging it upward with force.

"Boom!"

The hammer and axe collided, creating a thunderous roar.

A ripple visible to the naked eye swept out in all directions.

Marshal Tianpeng, being the closest, bore the brunt of it and was sent flying, his three-headed and six-armed divinity dissipating instantly, and he heavily crashed into the ruins of Guanghan Palace.

"Why do you obstruct me!"

Unable to help himself, Yang Jian bellowed with rage.

He had been sufficiently forbearing, yet Yu Yuan still chose to oppose him!

This was unbearable, no matter who it was!

Since it had come to this, then let this man witness the might of the Mountain Opening Axe!

Yang Jian, without hesitation, spurred the Mountain Opening Axe with all his strength, chopping down.

The target was straight at Yu Yuan!

Enhanced by the Heavenly Earth Transformation divine power, the Mountain Opening Divine Axe, as large as a mountain, glowed with brilliant golden light, fully demonstrating the majesty of the Human Path Holy Artifact.

In the Primordial Heaven and Earth, there was no mountain that could not be split by it!

Naturally, this included the mountain of Yu Yuan that weighed heavily on his heart!

But in the next instant, a whisper of Primordial Spirit Transmission quietly echoed in the depths of his heart.

"Your mother's True Spirit is in my hands! For her safety, you'd best calm yourself first."

Yang Jian's body jolted, his eyes reflecting an incredulous hue.

In the next instant, his towering figure, as majestic as the Ancient Divine Mountain, rapidly shrank.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Jian had returned to his original form, and looked towards Yu Yuan excitedly, transmitting his voice: "Is… is what you said true?"

Yu Yuan promptly took out the Qiankun Ruyi Bag, and in the moment of opening the bag, Long Ji and "Ao Yi" who had waited for a long time, stuck out half of their bodies.

"Erlang!"

"Ao Yi," looking at Yang Jian with tears streaming down, called out, "Quickly listen to the Immortal's words, don't be reckless anymore!"

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking at "Ao Yi" filled with disbelief.

As the saying goes, there is an unbreakable bond between mother and child; even though Fairy Yun Hua appeared before Yang Jian in the guise of Ao Yi, he still saw the shadow of his mother in her at first glance.

"Mother… is it really you?"

Yang Jian could hardly believe it.

He had clearly witnessed his mother being burnt to death by the Three-legged Golden Crow transformed by the power of the Heavenly Laws.

At that time, he was powerless to stop anything.

He could only watch helplessly as all of this unfolded.

But now, his mother had somehow reappeared in front of him, albeit in a different guise, how could this not make him doubt?

However, the aura of the mythical bird's power emanating from "her" could not be faked!

Moreover, "her" tone and demeanor were identical to those from his memories!

How could he not believe?

At this moment, Yu Yuan had already retied the Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

He looked at Yang Jian, transmitting his voice via Primordial Spirit: "If you want to see your mother, from now on do as I say… Of course, you can also choose not to believe."

Having said that, he paid no further attention to Yang Jian and flashed directly to the ruins in front of Guanghan Palace.

"Are you alright?"

The Chang'e Fairy, holding a jade rabbit in her arms, expressed her concern with a hint of worry.

"Whoosh!"

The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, having returned to his normal size, burst out from the rubble with a mix of shock and joy, shouting, "Thank you Immortal for your concern, this Marshal's skin is thick; these minor injuries…"

Before he could finish his sentence, his voice faded to a whisper, and the joyful smile on his face slowly froze.

He saw the Moon Palace Fairy he had been yearning for, standing in front of Yu Yuan, her bright eyes fixated on the tall man before her, as if there was room in her gaze for no one else but him.

The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy felt his face grow hot.

Evidently, Chang'e's "Are you alright" was not meant for him, but for that suddenly-appeared Yu Yuan!

He had been so miserably beaten by Yang Jian, his body covered in wounds, yet she didn't care to ask him a single word; instead, it was the unscathed Yu Yuan who received her immediate inquiry.

Is this the Chang'e he knew?

That aloof and detached fairy, one who stayed above the fray of the Human World, how did she become a goddess engulfed in the Red Dust and full of worries the moment Yu Yuan appeared?

How could this be!

They seemed to have only shared one perilous experience together during the Peach Banquet, right?

But although Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy felt bitter, he did not forget what was important.

However, when he looked up, he saw that Yang Jian had already retracted his Heavenly Earth Transformation Divine Skill and stood motionless in the starry sky, his expression incredibly complex.

The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy was stunned.

What exactly had happened in that brief moment when he was sent flying?

While he was lost in thought, Yu Yuan had already briefly communicated with Chang'e through Primordial Spirit Transmission.

Just now, although the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy did not see it, Chang'e had vaguely seen and heard some things.

Yu Yuan temporarily did not want to reveal the existence of the Luck God Dragon, nor could he allow the news of Fairy Yun Hua's spirit still being alive to spread publicly.

Thus, he asked Chang'e to keep the secret for now.

Chang'e, with her cool nature, as a senior homebody, was reluctant to take even a step outside Guanghan Palace, so she was considered trustworthy in terms of keeping secrets.

However, the little rabbit in her arms was not so trustworthy.

Hence, they needed to be expressly cautioned.

At this time, Yang Jian stepped forward, holding the Mountain Opening Axe in his hand, his face still hesitant, he looked at Yu Yuan and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy shivered slightly, gave Yu Yuan a glance, his mind turning swiftly, and preempted with a shout, "You have trespassed into the Heavenly Court, injured the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, destroyed the Heavenly Palace, and violated the Heavenly Laws, your crimes are heinous!

What you should do now is obediently follow me to confess your sins to the Emperor of Heaven!"

Yang Jian snorted coldly, glancing disdainfully at Tianpeng.

"Me confessing to that old thief of the Emperor of Heaven? Dream on!"

Before his words fell, Yu Yuan spoke, "Now, you will follow me to the Palace of the Polestar to see your uncle!"

Yang Jian's face changed, his right hand gripping the Mountain Opening Divine Axe tightly.

In the next moment, Yu Yuan's voice echoed in his heart.

"Don't forget, your mother is in my hands, you wouldn't want her to…"

"Fine!"

Yang Jian gritted his teeth and nodded, "I will go with you to the Palace of the Polestar!"

"That's more reasonable."

Yu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, looked at the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and said, "I'll trouble you, friend, to lead the way, let's not keep the Emperor of Heaven waiting."

The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy looked at Yang Jian with suspicion.

Weren't you acting tough just now?

Why did you suddenly become so docile the moment Yu Yuan talked?

Afraid of the strong but bully the weak, is that it?
