Chapter 249 Huang Tianhua
The fact that Li Anran did not kill Liu Yanchang was not because he was soft-hearted.
It is because there is a very deep causal entanglement between San Sheng Mun and Liu Yanchang, and there are obvious signs of human manipulation.
In other words, someone had somehow managed to connect the very weak causal connection between the Third Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang.
The most likely cause and effect line is that Liu Yanchang and the Three Holy Mothers had an intersection in their previous life. For example, the Three Holy Mothers had saved Liu Yanchang in his previous life, and Liu Yanchang had a one-sided love for her in his previous life.
It was intensified and even distorted to the point of becoming a bad fate or even a love disaster.
If he killed Liu Yanchang directly, it would not only alarm the people behind the scenes, but also hurt the Three Holy Mothers.
And the mastermind behind this only needs to pick someone who has had some connection with the Three Holy Mothers.
It's not worth the loss.
"Fourth Princess, when did you discover that Third Sister was abnormal? What happened during this period of time?" Li Anran asked.
"Third sister was fine this morning, but a fox demon caused trouble just now..."
Long Si told Yang Jian everything he knew.
From the fox demon causing chaos and besieging the City God Temple in Huayin City, to the Third Holy Mother going to kill the fox demon after learning about it, to her discovering that the Third Holy Mother was consuming a large amount of power from incense and merits and hurried over, only to see the Third Holy Mother standing there motionless.
As well as the abnormal behavior of the Third Holy Mother that she noticed when she came to her senses and asked the City God to send the fox demon's soul to the underworld at Mount Tai for punishment.
Long Si did not personally witness the fight between the Third Holy Mother and the fox demon, so his account was somewhat unclear.
However, Li Anran only took a glance at Huayin City and noticed the power of incense that was still shrouding Huayin City, and he knew everything that had happened.
"That fox demon must have overestimated her own strength and deliberately led my third sister to Huayin City, wanting to threaten the lives of the people in the city and force my third sister to take her attack. In the end, she was killed by my third sister with one sword."
"Third sister mobilized the power of incense and merit only to protect the people of Huayin City and prevent them from being affected by the aftermath of the magic power."
"The spell that Third Sister was hit by was very powerful. It is not something that this fox demon can use. She must have been used as a pawn by someone."
Li Anran said, "Fourth Princess, I will not go to Huashan Villa. When you go back, tell Fairy Yaoji what happened and try to keep the Third Holy Mother in the villa and don't let her go out."
After thinking for a while, Li Anran took out the Skylight Mirror from his arms and handed it to Long Si: "If Third Sister insists on going out, you can use this Skylight Mirror to freeze her. In half an hour at most, I can find out the mastermind behind this."
Long Si said, "Prison God, don't worry, it will be fine in half an hour."
Li Anran said nothing more and performed the Rainbow Transformation Technique. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the underworld of Mount Tai.
"Stop, who are you? How dare you trespass into the underworld of Mount Tai!" The ghost soldier guarding the gate stopped Li Anran.
Li Anran ignored them. He did not rush in directly, but stopped here to give face to Huang Feihu. He immediately used the thousand-mile sound transmission technique and said loudly: "Is the Emperor Dongyue in the mansion? The prison god Li Anran has something to see you."
When the two Yin messengers saw Li Anran speaking loudly, they were about to scold him to stop him. But when they heard the words "Prison God", they immediately swallowed their words and knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings to the Prison God."
Li Anran, Yang Jian and Nezha have long been known as the three great war gods in heaven.
Even after Bull Demon King and Red Boy surrendered to Heaven and made many military achievements, they were still inferior to the three of them.
After the previous battle with the Demon Master's Mansion, Li Anran and Yang Jian became famous again, and Nezha also benefited from it.
Nowadays, the three brothers are no longer the three war gods in heaven, but the three war gods in the three realms.
The only controversy is who ranks first and who ranks second between Li Anran and Yang Jian.
Nezha: ???
"I didn't know the prison god was coming, so I failed to welcome him. Please forgive me."
Not long after, Emperor Huang Feihu of Dongyue came out quickly with the judges on his left and right and welcomed Li Anran into the Taishan Temple.
The reason why he was so polite to Li Anran was not only because of Li Anran's own strength, but more importantly, Li Anran was the direct disciple of Taiyi Tianzun.
Taishan Yinsi is the power of Xuanmen in the underworld, and Taiyi Tianzun can be said to be Huang Feihu's immediate superior.
Both sides exchanged polite greetings.
Li Anran stated his purpose: "Emperor Dongyue, the City God of Huayin City, under the order of the Three Holy Mothers, sent the soul of a fox demon to you. I wonder where the fox demon is now?"
Huang Feihu was stunned. He did not expect that Li Anran came here for such a small matter. He turned to look at the judges on the left and right and asked, "Is this true?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Judge Zuo nodded repeatedly and said, "When the fox demon was alive, she ate many mortals to satisfy her appetite. I have had her thrown into the Hell of Evil Cao."
It is not a sin for people to eat wild beasts, people to kill monsters, wild beasts to eat people, and monsters to eat people!
However, indiscriminate killing for desire is a sin and must be paid for by punishment after death!
The Evil Hell is where the underworld of Mount Tai punishes criminals, and it is also the earliest area between heaven and earth.
The Eighteen Hells of Buddhism were developed based on the Hell of Evil. They are more systematic and more frightening.
The purpose is naturally for the sake of worship and faith.
Li Anran said, "Emperor Dongyue, in addition to killing innocent people, the fox demon is also involved in a serious crime. I am here to bring it to the Heavenly Prison for interrogation."
"No problem." Huang Feihu did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered Judge Zuo: "Send someone to bring the fox demon's soul here and give it to..."
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
A nine-foot-tall man with a face as white as sheep fat, wearing a flaming golden crown, a red robe with a dragon pattern, and a chain of golden chain mail, with a revealing look in his eyes and the gait of a tiger strode in and said in a cold voice: "The prison god wants to take the fox demon's soul back to the prison. Do you have an order from the Jade Emperor?"
Before Li Anran could speak, Huang Feihu's face darkened and he shouted, "Evil creature, I am talking to the prison god, how can you butt in! Get out of here!"
"Father."
Huang Tianhua glanced at Li Anran and said in a cold voice: "Although he is the prison god of heaven, according to the heavenly rules, without the Jade Emperor's order, he can't take away our prisoners from the underworld of Mount Tai. He has already violated the heavenly rules by coming to the mortal world without permission."
"If my father doesn't capture him and escort him to the Heavenly Palace to ask the Jade Emperor to punish him, it would be suspected of shielding him. How can you agree to hand over the fox demon soul to him? Who knows whether what he said is true or false? Is he deliberately bringing the fox demon soul back to the Heavenly Prison to please Yang Jian and take revenge?"
According to the rules of heaven, gods must obtain approval from the Jade Emperor before they can descend to earth to subdue demons.
However, in recent years, demons have been rampant in the mortal world, and the Heavenly Court has sent several batches of heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal world almost every day to subdue the demons.
The Jade Emperor did not bother to ask Yang Jian for permission to execute first and report later.
To put it simply, if there is something going on, Yang Jian can first send people down to earth to subdue the demons, and then wait for the morning court session to submit a supplementary memorial together.
However, this was only spoken verbally by the Jade Emperor, and he did not issue an order to the three realms.
Over the years, no one has ever argued about this truth.
This idiot is here again!
Li Anran felt somewhat unhappy.
Huang Tianhua and Yang Jian had a falling out over the Lei Zhenzi incident. Since then, Huang Tianhua has been causing trouble for the Temple of the God of Justice for everything.
It was simply because the way he caused trouble for the Temple of the God of Justice was that he relied on his authority as Duke Bingling to punish evil, eliminate evil, and slay demons, and he intercepted the monsters that the Temple of the God of Justice wanted to catch halfway and took them back to the underworld of Mount Tai to be punished.
Yang Jian did not argue with him.
Huang Tianhua was unyielding and even complained to his master Qingxu Daode Zhenjun and Taiyi Tianzun about the matter, but in the end he was scolded and sent back, telling him not to get involved in the matter anymore.
Nezha also spoke up to help Yang Jian explain that Lei Zhenzi’s death had nothing to do with Yang Jian and that Huang Tianhua had wronged Yang Jian.
Yang Jian admitted at that time that he accidentally killed Lei Zhenzi in order to deal with the attacks from the gods in heaven who hated him.
However, because Huang Tianhua saw with his own eyes the remnant soul of Lei Zhenzi dissipate in the hands of Yang Jian, Nezha could not directly say that Lei Zhenzi's death was because he accidentally discovered the Jiejiao's plan for the Yellow Turban Army and used Zhang Jiao's power to break the Investiture of the Gods -
It is no longer a secret to Li Anran and Yang Jian that the powerful beings from the three realms have joined forces to deal with the catastrophe.
But for the vast majority of gods and immortals in the Three Realms, it is still a hidden secret of the world.
Including Nezha, logically, he shouldn't know about this.
Not to mention, this also involves the tacit consent of Taiyi Tianzun and others.
Out of respect for the respected emperor, Nezha was not in a position to tell the truth.
However, this made Huang Tianhua feel that everyone was biased towards Yang Jian, and his hostility towards Yang Jian grew deeper and deeper.
He stood up to cause trouble at this time, seemingly targeting Li Anran, but in fact he was targeting Yang Jian.
However, this method is really childish!
Li Anran ignored Huang Tianhua and just looked at Huang Feihu in front of him.
"The prison god, please calm down. This kid is so rude. God, please don't bother with him!"
Huang Feihu quickly apologized to Li Anran, feeling angry and helpless.
Although Huang Tianhua was also a third-generation disciple of the Chan sect and a disciple of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, his fortune was a little poor. He died in the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods and was not listed on the Conferred God List.
Also because he was the third-generation disciple of the Chan sect, he was named "Bingling Gong, the Orthodox God of the Three Mountains" after his death, ranking second on the List of Gods, second only to Bai Jian, a subordinate of Emperor Huangdi, and first in the Zhou Dynasty, even surpassing his father Huang Feihu.
However, the most fundamental thing for a Qi Refiner is his cultivation strength.
After Huang Tianhua was included in the list, his cultivation stagnated, and the relationship between him and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun as master and disciple became weaker, not to mention being compared with Li Anran, the direct disciple of Taiyi Tianzun, and Yang Jian, the almost predetermined leader of the third generation of Xuanmen.
Huang Tianhua has been making things difficult for Yang Jian in recent years, and Huang Feihu is extremely worried. He has tried to persuade him countless times, but it is all in vain.
Instead, Huang Tianhua felt that he had changed after becoming a god. He became afraid of Yang Jian's power and deliberately tried to please Yang Jian.
Huang Feihu was so angry that he was furious and even blurted out such treasonous words as "In these three realms and this Xuanmen, you, Huang Tianhua, are the only one who is upright and incorruptible and cannot tolerate any injustice. Taiyi Tianzun and your master are all blind and deaf, and cannot compare to you."
But it still doesn't work.
Huang Feihu's original intention was to hint to Huang Tianhua that there must be some hidden story behind the incident of Lei Zhenzi.
Huang Tianhua, however, felt that Taiyi Tianzun and the others were deceived by Yang Jian, and was determined to expose Yang Jian's true face.
Huang Feihu: ...Tired, destroy it!
After a long time, Huang Feihu could only let it go.
Fortunately, Yang Jian didn't care about this matter and never caused trouble for Huang Tianhua.
Huang Tianhua also had little chance to go to heaven.
The two sides are living in peace.
Unexpectedly, today, when Huang Tianhua heard that Li Anran, who had a close relationship with Yang Jian, had come to the underworld at Mount Tai, he actually jumped out to cause trouble for Li Anran.
"What are you still standing there for?" Huang Feihu was too lazy to explain to his foolish son. He simply shouted at Judge Zuo who was in a dilemma, "Didn't you hear what I said? Bring the fox demon to me immediately!"
"Yes." Judge Zuo quickly accepted the order and walked quickly out of the hall.
"I said, you are not allowed to go!" Huang Tianhua flashed and blocked Judge Zuo.
Judge Zuo was about to cry: "Third Prince, this is the Emperor's will, please don't embarrass me."
Huang Feihu was furious: "You evil creature! You must be mad at me to death! The fox demon was sent by the Third Holy Mother, so why not take it back now?"
"This matter has nothing to do with who caught this fox demon and sent it here!"
Huang Tianhua said: "Without the Jade Emperor's order, bringing evildoers from the lower world into the Heavenly Palace privately is a serious crime that violates the Heavenly Law! I can't watch you, my father, being dragged down by him!"
"You! You!" Huang Feihu was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Li Anran lost his patience and said, "Emperor Taishan, since the fox demon is still in the Hell of Evil Cao, I will go there by myself. There is no need to trouble Judge Zuo."
He took the fox demon away through Huang Feihu to give face to Huang Feihu, the person in charge of the underworld. Since Huang Feihu has agreed to this matter, that is enough.
Li Anran swept his spiritual sense and instantly locked onto the fox demon's location, then turned and walked out of the palace door.
Unexpectedly, Huang Tianhua suddenly appeared in front of the palace door and said, "Prison God, since you can't produce the Jade Emperor's edict, you may have come to the mortal world privately. Wait for me to report this matter to the Jade Emperor. You can leave only after I get the Jade Emperor's order."
"Get out of the way!" Li Anran shouted impatiently.
"I told you, where are you going today!"
Huang Tianhua snorted coldly, grabbed Li Anran's arm and tried to pull Li Anran back.
But, the next second, he flew out.
Li Anran just waved his arm casually, as if he was chasing away a fly, and did it lightly.
Huang Tianhua felt an irresistible force coming at him, and he was thrown out. His back hit the wall with a heavy bang, and he sat down on the ground again.
The entire Taishan Temple was shaken by the collision and broken bricks, tiles and stones fell down.
Huang Tianhua was stunned for a long while before he came to his senses. His face instantly turned red and he felt humiliated.
"Li Anran!"
Huang Tianhua struggled to stand up, angry and humiliated, and wanted to attack again.
Li Anran has disappeared.
