General Curtain-Roller can be considered a die-hard fan of the Jade Emperor.
Basically, he did whatever the Jade Emperor told him to do.
Although he occasionally raised objections, they were mostly ineffective.
Moreover, the roller blind is very honest.
The Jade Emperor told him to get out, and he actually rolled out.
When the Jade Emperor saw the curtain roll out, his frustration immediately subsided.
"What a pity!"
"If only the Five Extremes War God had been killed by that monstrous Li Yao!"
Only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother remained at Yaochi.
The Jade Emperor said with a regretful expression.
"Yes, if that monster kills the Five Extremes War God, Gou Chen will definitely not let it go."
"With Gouchen taking the lead, we can sit back and watch the tigers fight!"
The Queen Mother also let out a long sigh.
"No matter what, that monstrous Li Yao must die, or I will never be able to quell my hatred!"
The Jade Emperor slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne, his face contorted with rage.
"But Your Majesty, that monster is truly formidable. Even with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and the assistance of the Five Extreme War Gods, Tianpeng was no match for that monster."
"But now, our Heavenly Court has almost no capable people left."
"How are we supposed to capture that monster?!"
The Queen Mother said with a helpless expression.
"No!"
"We still have one move to make!"
The Jade Emperor's gaze suddenly became much deeper.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the Golden Crow Formation?"
The Queen Mother immediately guessed what the Jade Emperor was thinking.
"That's right, as long as the Golden Crow Formation is activated, I refuse to believe we can't kill that monster!"
The Jade Emperor's eyes flashed with endless ruthlessness.
"But Your Majesty, once the Golden Crow Formation is activated, the area within hundreds of miles will be scorched dry by the Golden Crow, causing widespread suffering and death!"
It must be said that the Queen Mother was a tiny bit more benevolent than the Jade Emperor.
Unlike the Jade Emperor, she wasn't brainless; she considered things more thoroughly.
"Hmph, mere ants among humans, a few deaths are nothing to regret."
"I'm willing to pay any price to get rid of that monster!"
The Jade Emperor said fiercely.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, why not be patient for a while longer? After the Investiture of the Gods, when the Heavenly Court has enough manpower, it won't be too late to take action against that monster!"
The Queen Mother advised.
"We'll have to wait until after the Investiture of the Gods, but who knows when that will be!"
"If the Heavenly Court weren't short-handed, I wouldn't be at a loss as to how to deal with that monster!"
The Jade Emperor said with a resentful expression.
Because the flow of time is different in the celestial realm and on earth.
One day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth!
Furthermore, Tianpeng did not report to the Jade Emperor about Li Yao's defeat of the Chan and Jie sects in the mortal realm.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor was unaware of this matter.
Otherwise, he would have been overjoyed and immediately joined forces with the Chan and Jie sects to deal with Li Yao.
Despite being the ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor is actually unaware of many things happening in the mortal world.
In the original story, after Yang Jian became the God of Justice in Heaven, he secretly carried out many underhanded actions behind the Jade Emperor's back, without the Jade Emperor's knowledge.
Chapter 697 Ancient Ice Beast
The Kunlun Mountains cover a very large area.
However, Li Yao, Xiao Bai, and others all possess various amazing supernatural abilities.
Therefore, finding an ice cave in the Kunlun Mountains is not a particularly difficult task.
Soon, they discovered a very secluded cave.
Li Yao and his group entered the cave.
The cave was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and it was filled with a murky atmosphere.
Li Yao asked Yang Chan to take out the Lotus Lantern.
Yang Chan activated her magic, and the Lotus Lantern immediately shone brightly, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.
Moreover, the murky air in the cave was immediately dispelled by the magic of the Lotus Lantern.
The group walked for a while.
Soon, a huge, heavy stone gate appeared before them.
"Master, is the Heaven-Opening Axe hidden inside?"
Yang Jian asked anxiously.
I think so!
This was also Li Yao's first time here, and he wasn't sure if the Heaven-Opening Axe was hidden here.
"Then let this disciple open this stone door!"
Yang Jian said impatiently.
He tried to push the stone door, but found that it wouldn't budge.
Moreover, he did not find the mechanism to open the stone door.
Therefore, he planned to use his magic to forcefully break open the stone door.
"How dare you!"
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Ice Cave!"
A sound suddenly rang out.
Immediately, a burly man, over two zhang tall, suddenly appeared before the crowd.
"And who are you?"
Facing such a tall person, Yang Jian showed no fear whatsoever.
"I am the mountain god of Kunlun Mountain, and I have been ordered to guard the Ice Cave once again!"
The mountain god spoke in a deep, muffled voice.
His voice was so loud that it caused rubble to fall from the cave ceiling and the surrounding area.
"Is the Heaven-Opening Axe inside?"
Li Yao pointed to the stone gate and asked.
"You want to take the Heaven-Opening Axe?"
The mountain god frowned.
"So, the Heaven-Opening Axe really is here!"
Li Yao smiled faintly.
"good!"
"However, with me here, no one can even dream of opening the Heavenly Axe!"
"I urge you to leave this place immediately!"
The mountain god raised an eyebrow, looking very confident.
"Mountain God, we only wish to borrow the Heaven-Opening Axe to save our mother. We will return it immediately after we are done using it. Please grant us this request."
Yang Chan is kind-hearted and hopes to borrow the Heaven-Opening Axe peacefully.
"No, the Heaven-Opening Axe is a divine artifact left behind by the Great God Pangu. How can anyone borrow it!"
The mountain god resolutely refused.
"Yang Chan, there's no need to waste words with him."
Li Yao looked disdainful and said to Yang Jian beside him, "Yang Jian, beat him up!"
A minor mountain god is not worth his personal attention.
"Yes, Master!"
Yang Jian reached out and drew his three-pointed double-edged sword, immediately charging towards the mountain god.
"Hmph, you're asking for death!"
The mountain god snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, and a huge fist slammed towards Yang Jian.
Yang Jian had already accumulated a lot of practical experience through his previous battles with the heavenly soldiers and generals and Marshal Tianpeng.
Moreover, his mother, Yao Ji, was a celestial being, so he was a demigod.
