Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 257 - 257 256

257: 256 257: 256 Dou Niu Palace, Lingxiao Palace.

Yang Jian stood arrogantly in the center among the Group of Immortals, exuding an unrivaled aura that made even the Heavenly Gods dare not breathe too loudly.

In terms of Daoist lineage, Yang Jian was the premier disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect.

In terms of Cultivation, he was a Luotian Golden Immortal soon to step into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, and was known as the foremost War God in the Three Realms.

From the Heavenly Court above to Yama’s Underworld below, spanning all four states and seas, wherever Yang Jian went, he was the brightest star that no one could overshadow.

The immortals of Heaven internally sighed.

If Ye Xuan had fled, it would have been good.

But if he truly came to Lingxiao Palace, even if not killed by Yang Jian, his fate would still be extremely tragic.

“Guang…

the Guanghan Fairy has arrived!”

Suddenly,

An Immortal Official, trembling slightly, spoke as a path of the Moonlight Sky Bridge unfolded.

The Guanghan Fairy, her face veiled with a light silk, gracefully stepped along the Moonlight Sky Bridge toward them, ultimately arriving at the Lingxiao Palace, rendering the assembled immortals utterly speechless.

No one had expected that the Guanghan Fairy, who had not left the Moon Palace for ten thousand years, would today appear in the Heavenly Court, astonishing the Group of Immortals profoundly.

At that moment, the Jade Emperor’s body stiffened, and in Yang Jian’s absence, all eyes turned to the Guanghan Fairy, their gazes filled with infatuation, almost tangible.

“Greetings to the Jade Emperor!”

As the Supreme of the Three Realms and the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the Guanghan Fairy naturally did not forget her manners, slightly bowing to him.

“Fairy… there’s no need for such formality.”

The Jade Emperor instantly came back to his senses, his voice trembling slightly.

Disregarding his own dignity, he quickly stepped down from Lingxiao Palace, apparently wanting to help the Guanghan Fairy up.

Unfortunately, before the Jade Emperor could approach, the Guanghan Fairy gracefully stepped back three paces, and with a gentle cough from Gold Star Taibai reminding him, the Jade Emperor came fully to his senses.

His face slightly flushed, he sat back on his imperial throne.

“Chang’e, why have you come!”

Yang Jian, overjoyed, strode toward Guanghan Fairy, only to see her frown slightly and say, “Please respect yourself, True Monarch.”

Although the Guanghan Fairy’s face was veiled, she still emanated a pure and untouchable aura, causing Yang Jian to awkwardly smile, realizing he had been too forward.

“Yang Jian pays his respects to the Guanghan Fairy.”

Yang Jian bowed deeply with his fists clasped toward the Guanghan Fairy, making the surrounding immortals look on with a mix of emotions, a sense of helplessness crossing each of their faces.

Indeed, even heroes have difficulty overcoming the allure of a truly beautiful woman.

Yang Jian had come to the Heavenly Court without even greeting the Jade Emperor, but the arrival of the Guanghan Fairy prompted such a solemn bow from him.

From this, it was clear how significant the Guanghan Fairy was in Yang Jian’s heart.

“I heard the True Monarch is about to be promoted to Daluo Golden Immortal.

Having some idle time in the Moon Palace, I specially came to the Heavenly Court to observe the True Monarch’s Daoist Magical Powers,” lightly spoke the Guanghan Fairy.

Without mentioning her relationship with Ye Xuan, the Guanghan Fairy instead used the excuse of wanting to witness Yang Jian’s Daoist Magical Powers, which brought a delighted expression to Yang Jian’s face.

He returned the gesture, saying, “If the Fairy wishes, I can impart all my skills to you.

Today is merely for teaching a lesson to this Daoist Ye Xuan, to spare him from not knowing the customs of the Heavenly Court.”

Though Yang Jian did not explicitly say he came to Heavenly Court for the Guanghan Fairy, his flattering words towards her were obvious, causing the gathered immortals to shake their heads in resignation, silently pitying Ye Xuan.

Who could be so unfortunate as to provoke the Guanghan Fairy?

At this moment!

The Jade Emperor sat atop his throne, his expression calm and unruffled, displaying the majesty of the ruler of the Three Realms.

However, when his eyes met Yang Jian’s, a flicker of sinister intent secretly passed through them.

If the Jade Emperor saw Ye Xuan as a stumbling block, then Yang Jian was a thorn in his heart, one he dearly wished to remove swiftly.

But that was merely a wish, for the Jade Emperor knew it was impossible.

“The Slayer of Demons and Revealer of Saintly Truth has arrived.”

Suddenly, the voice of an Immortal Official resonated from outside the hall, causing a slight change in the expressions of the Group of Immortals present, as they all looked towards the entrance.

Clothed in black, with his dark hair cascading down his back, Ye Xuan’s face was smooth and undisturbed, without any hint of an aura emanating from him, as he leisurely walked into the Lingxiao Palace.

Only when Ye Xuan stood in the center of the hall and caught sight of the Guanghan Fairy, did his eyes slightly constrict—unexpectedly, this woman was also here.

“Ye Qingjia, Erlang, the Revealer of Saintly Truth, has journeyed to the Heavenly Court.

Hearing of your outstanding Daoist Magical Powers, he specifically came to seek your guidance.

What say you?” the Jade Emperor stated majestically.

The Group of Immortals glanced sideways, their expressions varied.

Regarding Ye Xuan’s presence, each harbored within a sigh, secretly blaming Ye Xuan for not knowing the severity of the matter.

Didn’t he know that Yang Jian had come specifically for him, and yet he dared to appear?

Regrettably, Ye Xuan did not respond to the Jade Emperor’s question.

Instead, he squinted slightly at Yang Jian standing beside the Guanghan Fairy and then slightly smiled, saying, “I, a mere Taiyin Mystic Immortal, how could I possibly be a match for Erlang, the Revealer of Saintly Truth?

Perhaps we should forgo this lesson?”

Upon Ye Xuan uttering these words, the Group of Immortals nodded collectively, showing no trace of surprise.

Clearly, Ye Xuan was aware of his limits in not being a match for Yang Jian, and his statement was within reason.

At that moment!

Yang Jian, no longer smiling, stared fixedly at Ye Xuan, a hint of contempt flickering through his eyes, as he saw clearly that Ye Xuan was just a Taiyin Mystic Immortal; suppressing him would be but an easy task.

Had the Guanghan Fairy not been present, with Ye Xuan holding a token from the Yuqing Sect, Yang Jian might have simply taught Ye Xuan a slight lesson out of respect for their shared sect.

But now with the Guanghan Fairy by his side and seeking to demonstrate his own cultivation, Yang Jian naturally would not easily let Ye Xuan off.

Perhaps some might ask, Yang Jian, a mighty War God of the Three Realms, why would he display such arrogance and pride?

Does he truly fit the identity of the Three Realms War God?

In reality, in other matters, Yang Jian was an extremely aloof and wise person and would not bother Ye Xuan.

However, as the saying goes, even heroes find it hard to overcome the barrier of beauty.

In front of the Guanghan Fairy, Yang Jian lost all his wisdom and calm, focusing solely on displaying his valor and might before the Fairy.

“Are you Ye Xuan?” Yang Jian strode towards Ye Xuan, drawing the onlookers’ attention.

“I am indeed Ye Xuan,” Ye Xuang greeted with a Daoist bow, his demeanor neither arrogant nor humble.

“I’ve heard that you once subdued Yuan Mo and were awarded merit in Heaven, being titled as the Slayer of Demons and Revealer of Saintly Truth.

However, I was also informed that upon your initial entry to Heaven, you sneaked into the Guanghan Palace, is this true?” Yang Jian looked down at Ye Xuan, his voice growing increasingly cold.

Since the Guanghan Fairy was present, Yang Jian felt no need to conceal anything and took the opportunity to express his sentiments towards the Guanghan Fairy indirectly through Ye Xuan.

“I have known the Guanghan Fairy since the Primordial times,” Ye Xuan responded calmly, facing Yang Jian’s authoritarian attitude.

“We met as old friends, where does this talk of sneaking in come from?”

“Hmph!”

Yang Jian snorted coldly, “Ye Xuan, Heaven has its rules.

No male Immortal may enter a Fairy’s residence freely.

Anyone who violates this decree shall have their Immortal Record erased and be demoted to the Lower Realm to become a mortal.

Are you not aware of this?”

“Or are you saying, as the Law Enforcement God of Heaven, I am not someone you take seriously?”
