Cao Guojiu finally realized that it was Zhang Guolao and his gang who had stolen the exam questions.
Subsequently, Cao Guojiu ordered the arrest of Zhang Guolao and others.
Because Zhang Guolao and the others did not possess any magical powers, they were no different from ordinary people.
In the end, only Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu managed to escape, while Zhang Guolao and the others were captured by Cao Guojiu's men.
Therefore, their attempt to convert Cao Guojiu ended in failure.
Right now, Han Xiangzi, He Xiangu, and Lan Caihe are discussing what to do next.
"Let's break them out of prison!"
Lan Caihe crossed his arms and suddenly spoke.
"No, if we try to break him out of prison now, it's like walking into a trap. We don't have any magical powers now. If we get caught, how can we save Lü Dongbin?"
Han Xiangzi immediately shook his head and said.
"If we don't break them out of prison, how can we rescue Zhang Guolao and the others?"
Lan Caihe said anxiously.
"I've got it! We can steal the official seal."
"If Cao Guojiu loses his official seal, he'll definitely be in a lot of trouble. We'll take the opportunity to rescue Zhang Guolao and the others!"
He Xiangu suddenly suggested.
“But Cao Guojiu has already seen us, so we can no longer sneak into Cao’s residence.”
"Besides, Cao Guojiu is currently wanted by the authorities, so we have no way to show ourselves."
Han Xiangzi said.
Lan Caihe said, "Have you forgotten that I have never been to the Cao residence?"
"Yes, we can have Lan Caihe infiltrate the Cao residence and steal the official seal!"
He Xiangu nodded in agreement.
Han Xiangzi then nodded in agreement.
Li Yao did not participate in their discussion.
He's already got his hands on the Reincarnation Disc; now he's just a bystander.
He was waiting for Han Xiangzi and the others to convert Cao Guojiu so that they could return to the Tang Dynasty through the Wheel of Reincarnation.
...
It was late at night.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past the window of Li Yao's room.
"They're here again!"
"I wonder who came this time?"
"Could it be Nezha?!"
Li Yao made a guess in his mind.
After he drove the Eight Immortals away, they would definitely call for reinforcements from Heaven.
The Heavenly Court of today is the Heavenly Court after the Investiture of the Gods, where all the main gods, the Four Heavenly Kings, Nezha, Li Jing and other deities are all in the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor now has someone to rely on.
However, the deities that the Jade Emperor often sent out to handle matters were usually Nezha and his son Li Jing.
That's why he made that guess.
He moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of light, and chased after the figure outside.
Before long, he followed the figure in front of him and arrived at a vast, desolate wilderness.
"Little Nezha?!"
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Li Yao couldn't help but blurt out.
Although the Nezha before us looks somewhat different from the Nezha in the world of "The Legend of Nezha", he is much taller.
However, their facial contours and the expressions between their brows are still extremely similar.
Beside Nezha was a tall and imposing middle-aged man.
This person was dressed in golden armor and was carrying a pagoda in his hand.
Clearly, this person is Nezha's father, Li Jing!
"You recognize me?"
"Have we met before?"
When Nezha heard Li Yao call out his name, he was startled.
At the same time, he saw Li Yao's appearance clearly and had a feeling of déjà vu.
However, he clearly had never met this Li Yao.
What exactly happened?
"No, no!"
"I guessed your identity from your clothes and appearance!"
"Look at you, wearing the Universe Ring on your head, the Hunyuan Ribbon on your shoulders, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, and riding the Wind-Fire Wheels."
"Your image has long been deeply ingrained in the public consciousness."
"I can recognize you at a glance: you are Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas!"
Li Yao smiled faintly.
"You know quite a lot!"
Nezha heard that Li Yao recognized him by his clothes and appearance.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
This shows that his image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Those who become immortals do so simply to achieve lasting fame.
"This must be Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!"
Li Yao's gaze shifted to Li Jing.
Li Jing felt a little smug when he heard that Li Yao had also recognized him.
However, he remained expressionless and did not react much.
He asked, "Are you Li Yao, the one who injured the Eight Immortals before?"
"It is me!"
Li Yao nodded, without denying it.
"You've already killed the Crocodile God of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Jing continued to ask.
"good!"
Li Yao nodded.
Why did you kill him?
Li Jing asked.
I don't like him!
Li Yao replied without hesitation.
"You just want to kill him because you don't like him?"
Nezha and Li Jing exchanged a glance, both of them stunned.
Is this also the reason for killing the Crocodile God?
"Why did you travel to this time and space with Tieguai Li and the other six immortals?"
Li Jing asked again.
"curious!"
"I'd love to travel to the Song Dynasty a hundred years from now!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"It's that simple?"
Li Jing was filled with suspicion.
How complicated can it get?
Li Yao asked a question in return.
Chapter 737 The Hot-Tempered Li Jing
"Okay, you've asked me so many questions."
"I'd also like to ask you a question!"
"Why did you two lead me here in the middle of the night?"
Li Yao asked the question.
"The Jade Emperor, recognizing your merit in eliminating the Crocodile God, is preparing to bestow upon you the title of a Righteous God in Heaven!"
"You will then come with us to the Heavenly Court to receive the Jade Emperor's investiture!"
"Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, said with a serious expression."
