"Earth?"
Yun Zhongzi was taken aback.
He had never heard of the word 'Earth' before and was completely baffled.
"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave. Don't be such a tagalong and keep following us around!"
Li Yao disliked the Jade Emperor, and by extension, he also disliked the Jade Emperor's own son.
He guessed that the Jade Emperor's son was no good either!
"Wait!"
Yun Zhongzi quickly stopped Li Yao.
He glanced at Yang Chan and asked, "You must be Yang Chan?"
"How...how did you know?"
Yang Chan was surprised.
"Don't you understand? Of course, it was Taiyi Zhenren who told him!"
Linglong, standing to the side, pouted.
"Where is your second brother, Yang Jian, now?"
Yun Zhongzi asked.
"this……"
Yang Chan hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Li Yao.
Li Yao sneered and said, "Yun Zhongzi, what brings you inquiring about your second cousin's whereabouts?"
"Second cousin?"
Yang Chan was taken aback at first, then asked in surprise, "Master, do you mean that this Taoist priest is my and my second brother's cousin?"
"Yes, he's the Jade Emperor's own son, so of course you're cousins!"
Li Yao nodded and said.
"He is also the Jade Emperor's son?"
Not only Yang Chan, but also Xiao Bai, Linglong, and Nezha were all surprised.
"I didn't expect this fellow Daoist to know so much!"
Yun Zhongzi was also surprised.
He always kept a low profile and rarely left the temple. Not many people knew that he was the son of the Jade Emperor; most of those who did were bigwigs.
"You really are the Jade Emperor's son!"
Yun Zhongzi's words just now were tantamount to acknowledging his identity.
"Yun Zhongzi, you suddenly came to me not just to inquire about the whereabouts of your cousins, right?"
Li Yao speculated that Yun Zhongzi's sudden appearance was most likely related to the fact that his sudden appearance had disrupted Yuanshi Tianzun's plan to confer the gods.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you hiding Yang Jian and his sister?"
Yun Zhongzi stared at Li Yao and asked.
Chapter 680 Daring to use the Demon-Revealing Mirror against me? Confiscated!
"Hidden away with Yang Jian and his sister?"
"Yun Zhongzi, you're really hilarious. With your status, you couldn't possibly not know that the Jade Emperor intends to exterminate the entire Yang family!"
"No matter what, Yao Ji is your aunt, and the three Yang siblings are your cousins!"
"If I hadn't intervened to save Yang Jian and his sister, they would probably still be being hunted down by the Great Golden Crow!"
"Not only did you not step in to help the Yang siblings, but now you come here to question me about why I secretly harbored Yang Jian and his sister?"
"I don't know what your intentions are?"
Li Yao said with great disdain.
He hates people who stand idly by but love to interfere.
Even though they did nothing wrong, they jump out and criticize others for doing this or that wrong.
Yang Chan, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Cousin, you've misunderstood. Master, he..."
"Shut up, who's your cousin?"
Yun Zhongzi's expression suddenly darkened.
Yang Chan was taken aback, not expecting Yun Zhongzi to suddenly change his expression.
"Hehe, Yun Zhongzi, are you trying to deny your relationship with Yang Jian and his sister?"
Li Yao chuckled.
"Yao Ji had an affair with a mortal, violating the heavenly law. Her children should not be born into this world!"
Yun Zhongzi said decisively, his tone as ruthless as his father's.
"Hmph, no wonder he's the Jade Emperor's son, he's got the same character!"
"Even if we take a step back and assume that Yao Ji has violated the heavenly law and is unforgivable, what wrong have the three Yang siblings done?"
"Even if Yao Ji made a mistake, her children shouldn't be implicated!"
"Is it also their fault that the three Yang siblings became Yao Ji's children?"
There is still a saying among people: "Misfortune should not befall one's wife and children!"
"But the high and mighty Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor insisted on exterminating them all!"
"This Heavenly Court, this Jade Emperor, is truly extraordinary!"
Li Yao ridiculed Yun Zhongzi and the Heavenly Court.
"You are just making excuses. No matter how you try to justify yourself, the Yang siblings should accept the Heavenly Court's punishment!"
"Furthermore, you have committed an unforgivable crime by harboring a wanted criminal from the Heavenly Court."
"Now, you have even killed the Great Golden Crow and the Second Golden Crow, which is an even greater crime."
"I advise you to surrender immediately, reveal Yang Jian's whereabouts, and come with me to the Heavenly Court for trial!"
Yun Zhongzi spoke with righteous indignation.
"Hahaha... You finally remembered your two brothers!"
Li Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This Yun Zhongzi is really interesting. After appearing, he didn't immediately care about his two nominal Golden Crow brothers. Instead, he talked to Li Yao about Li Yao's identity and the matter of Yang Jian and his sister.
It seems that Yun Zhongzi is not particularly concerned about the life and death of his two Golden Crow brothers.
Instead, he was more concerned about Li Yao's identity and Li Yao's purpose in rescuing Yang Jian and his sister.
"You harbored a criminal wanted by the Heavenly Court and even killed a Heavenly Court general without authorization."
"I believe you must be some great demon in disguise, attempting to overthrow the Heavenly Court and disrupt the order of the Three Realms!"
Yun Zhongzi's face darkened.
As soon as he finished speaking, he gestured with his right hand, and a bronze mirror appeared in his hand, its design simple and ancient, its gold gleaming.
Immediately afterwards, he shone the bronze mirror in his hand at Li Yao and shouted, "Demon, quickly reveal your true form!"
Immediately, a golden light burst forth from the mirror and shot towards Li Yao.
"Heh heh, so it's a demon-revealing mirror!"
Li Yao chuckled, stood still, and let the light from the Demon-Revealing Mirror shine on him.
This demon-revealing mirror can reveal the true nature of demons.
In the world of Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian received the power from Yun Zhongzi and used it to reveal many monsters on several occasions.
However, when Yang Jian used the Demon-Revealing Mirror to examine Kong Xuan, he was unable to see Kong Xuan's true form.
This time, Yun Zhongzi was disappointed again.
The Demon-Revealing Mirror did not reveal Li Yao's true form!
"You...you're not a monster?"
Yun Zhongzi was greatly surprised.
He originally thought that Li Yao was a great demon in disguise, otherwise how could Li Yao dare to challenge the Heavenly Court, how could he dare to oppose the Primordial Heavenly Lord, and obstruct the Investiture of the Gods?
His ultimate goal in coming to find Li Yao this time was not to capture Yang Jian and bring him to the Heavenly Court for trial, but to find out the true purpose of Li Yao's rescue of Yang Jian.
It should be noted that Yang Jian was someone whom Yuanshi Tianzun had long favored, and Yang Jian played a crucial role in the Investiture of the Gods.
According to Yuanshi Tianzun's plan, Yang Jian should have been accepted as a disciple by his apprentice, Yu Ding Zhenren.
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable ordered his disciples to remain in seclusion, but Jade Cauldron Immortal dared to disobey his master's orders and swagger around the city, yet he was not punished by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
This is because Yang Jian had already been designated by Yuanshi Tianzun as his grand-disciple and a key figure in carrying out the Investiture of the Gods plan.
But now, Yang Jian has been saved by Li Yao and has even become Li Yao's disciple.
In doing so, Li Yao essentially ruined the Grand Plan of the Primordial Heavenly Lord to confer the gods.
Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun sent Yun Zhongzi to investigate Li Yao's background.
Yun Zhongzi hadn't expected Li Yao to be so cunning; even now, he still hadn't figured out Li Yao's true origins!
"I am not a monster, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!"
"Originally, I had no intention of having anything to do with your Chan Sect!"
"But you dare to provoke me!"
"Then I'm sorry, but I always seek revenge!"
