Chapter 663 The show begins.
"Yao Ji is imprisoned under Peach Mountain, which is an insult to the Emperor. Yet Yang Jian is determined to split the mountain to rescue his mother. You, the Heavenly Emperor, are caught in a dilemma and are in a terrible predicament."
"Finally, you 'plead' with them, hoping that the Western Sect can lend a hand to help you suppress Yang Jian, or strengthen the seal of Peach Mountain, so as to save face for your Heavenly Court."
Haotian's heart pounded wildly upon hearing this!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
That move was absolutely brilliant!
Those two guys from the Western religion love to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Xuanmen and the Heavenly Court, in order to show that their Buddhist teachings are boundless and that they can save all sentient beings.
Since the Heavenly Emperor himself has come to them for help, they will absolutely not refuse!
This is not just about doing a favor for the Heavenly Court, but also a golden opportunity to extend their reach into the Heavenly Court and expand their influence!
They've always dreamed of doing this!
"They...they will definitely agree!" Haotian said excitedly.
"Nonsense." Niu Ben rolled his eyes at him. "Those two guys are insatiable. If they see an opportunity to interfere with the Heavenly Court's fortune and disrupt the Daoist sect's karma, they'll be more eager than anyone else."
"Once they get involved and step into the trap of Momoyama... Hmph."
Niu Ben didn't say anything more, but that cold snort sent a chill down Haotian's spine.
Momoyama!
So, the real killer move was here!
Lead the Westerners to Peach Mountain!
"What does Senior Brother mean?"
"Beneath Peach Mountain lies your younger sister. Yang Jian is going to split the mountain, and you, her uncle, are going to suppress her. And then, the Western Sect, wanting to interfere and reap the benefits, will join the fray..."
Niu Ben looked at Haotian and said, word by word.
"Won't this completely muddy the waters?"
"At that time, how the situation develops and who gets to decide will not necessarily be them."
"All you have to do is get them involved in this."
"Leave the rest to me."
Niu Ben's words, though spoken casually, were filled with unparalleled confidence and domineering presence.
It was as if the two Western Saints, who had schemed for countless eons, were nothing more than two prey about to step into a trap in his eyes.
Haotian felt a surge of hot blood rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
He could almost see the miserable state of Jieyin and Zhunti, those two guys, when they were humiliated in Peach Mountain and had their saintly faces slapped down!
This game is far too big!
Using the Heavenly Court as a chessboard, Yang Jian as bait, and Haotian as the actor, the ultimate goal is to lure the two high-ranking Western Saints into this meticulously planned trap!
Please step into the trap!
"Haha...hahahaha!"
Suddenly, an uncontrollable burst of wild laughter erupted from the silent Lingxiao Palace.
"Western Religion! Amitabha! Cundi!"
Haotian gritted his teeth as he muttered those two names, his eyes burning with a furious rage that could consume the heavens.
"Don't you like to scheme? Don't you like to be chess players, treating everyone as your pawns?"
"Good! Very good!"
"This time, I... I will make you taste what it's like to be used as a pawn, led step by step into a dead end!"
"You want to interfere with the destiny of my Heavenly Court? I'll give you that chance! I'll personally beg you, offering my face for you to slap!"
"I'm afraid you... won't have the guts to take it!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Haotian was like a madman. All the frustration, regret, and anger in his heart transformed into an extreme desire for revenge.
He had never felt so clear-headed and so full of energy.
Although he was still the saint who was being schemed against, he was no longer the fool kept in the dark.
He is now an actor with a script in his hand!
Avenger who is about to lure his enemies onto the stage and then watch them get hacked to death!
This feeling is so exhilarating!
Niu Ben watched his frenzied state, but simply stood calmly to the side without disturbing him.
He needs Haotian's crazy drive.
Only utter hatred could allow him to perform this act flawlessly and deceive those two cunning old monks.
A Heavenly Emperor who is driven to the brink and has to ask outsiders for help to save face is a reasonable Heavenly Emperor who will not arouse suspicion.
After a long while, Haotian's laughter gradually subsided.
He straightened his somewhat disheveled imperial robes. Although his face was still pale, his overall demeanor was completely different from that of the lost and dejected statue just moments before.
His back straightened again.
In those empty eyes, the flames of "ambition" and "hatred" were rekindled.
He bowed deeply to Niu Ben once again.
"I will never forget your great kindness, Senior Brother!"
"Once this matter is settled, I am at your service, Senior Brother!"
This time, his words contained less pleading and more solemnity and determination.
He was no longer just asking Niu Ben for help; he was also making his stance clear.
From this day forward, Haotian, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, will be completely bound to Niu Ben on the same chariot.
"Remember what you said today."
Niu Ben replied indifferently, then turned and walked out of the main hall.
"I've said everything I needed to say. How you perform this play, and to what extent, depends on your own abilities."
Don't let me down.
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already reached the entrance of the Lingxiao Palace.
The mysterious array that had enveloped the entire hall and isolated all heavenly secrets also silently dissipated with his footsteps.
It was as if it had never existed.
"Respectfully seeing off my senior brother!"
Haotian bowed again to Niu Ben's retreating figure.
He only slowly straightened up after the figure had completely disappeared from sight.
He glanced at the empty and messy Lingxiao Palace, then at the high and mighty dragon throne that Niu Ben had once sat on, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Once upon a time, this place was a symbol of his power and dignity.
Today, this power and dignity have been shattered by Niu Ben himself.
But it was precisely because he was shattered that he was able to see the bloody truth behind it.
Do not break or stand!
From this day forward, he will no longer be the puppet emperor who is controlled by the Heavenly Dao and the sages!
He wants to take back everything that is rightfully his!
He will make those who schemed against him and manipulated him pay a bloody price!
Western religion, Jieyin, Zhunti.
The show is about to begin.
This time, I'll see who the ultimate winner is!
The lower realm,
The mortal realm.
Meishan, however, presents a completely different scene.
The mountains are layered and shrouded in mist, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
In a wide valley, a young man dressed in a gray robe, with a third eye on his forehead, and holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, stood with his hands behind his back.
It was Yang Jian.
Before him, seven monsters of different shapes and sizes were kneeling respectfully on the ground, the leader of whom was a white ape holding a long staff.
"Yuan Hong (Jin Dasheng, Dai Li, Zhu Zizhen, Wu Long, Chang Hao, Yang Xian), pays respects to Second Master!"
