The kneeling and bowing that Dong Wanggong requires is not a common bow and reverence. Dong Wanggong is now holding a dragon-headed cane, which represents the Grandmaster Taoist Hongjun. However, the master-servant relationship between Hongjun and Haotian has not been dissolved because of his becoming the ruler of heaven.
Eastern King Gu's eyes turned to the old sand and a group of fairies, and added another blow: "Does the emperor need this celestial general and all the fairies to temporarily avoid it?"
Formerly, Emperor Hao believed it to be true. A matter of shame should not be seen by his subordinates. However, Eastern King Gu had already blocked his way out with words, so he could not say such a thing now.
If Hongjun knew, what? Do you think it would be degrading for me to be a child? If you say so, let's dissolve the relationship.
The layer of child skin of Dao An is the biggest asset on his body.
In all his helplessness, he could only kneel down and bow deeply before the dragon-headed cane, "The young boy pays homage to his master."
The old sand on the side was just a dead face. Hao Tian's humiliating scene was seen by himself, and as a bystander, what would be his fate? He had just stood up for two years, and now he would have to go back to his original form. Being able to go back to the North Gate to continue guarding it seemed like a luxury to him. He estimated that his fate would be very sad. If necessary, he would apply to raise horses in the Milky Way.
His peripheral vision swept over the several fairies who were preparing to perform dances; they were also extremely frightened. However, as they belonged to the Queen Mother of Yáo Chí, they were not directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Hao, and thus their situation would ultimately be somewhat better.
Eastern King Gu had no care for the opinions of these minor characters. Only after Hao Tian had fully knelt down and bowed did he speak up, saying, "Your Majesty, please rise."
After that, he also used a grand gesture to return the salute to Hao Tian, the supreme ruler of the Three Realms.
The position of Eastern King Gu, the supreme ruler of male immortals in the world, is almost equivalent to what Hao Tian is doing now. In theory, Hao Tian can manage everything in the Three Realms, not to mention female immortals. However, in reality, he does not manage female immortals as that falls within the power range of the Queen Mother of Yáo Chí. If he tries to interfere forcefully, it would disrupt the harmonious relationship between the two.
The atmosphere of this meeting was extremely solemn from the very beginning. The two parties took their seats, with the female immortals singing and dancing gracefully. Old Sha stood stiffly below the steps, and he had a bit of a trick up his sleeve; from Emperor Hao's perspective, he was standing just behind a pillar. Would that trick work? Who knew. But he was definitely not going to move closer.
Eastern King Gu waited until the dance was over, as is the custom, he drank a sip of wine, put down the cup, and began to explain his purpose.
"Long ago, I was attacked by Dijun and narrowly escaped death. After enduring many hardships, I have now made my reappearance. On my way, I heard several Daoist friends mention an event that truly concerns me."
Emperor Hao asked stiffly, "What matter?"
Eastern King Gu asked, "I heard that there is a demon god from Chaos who wants to invade the Huánhuā world. I wonder if this is true or false?"
This matter is not only confirmed by the peaceful Lady, but Emperor Hao himself has admitted to it in the new Lingxiao Palace. Words once spoken cannot be swallowed back, can they?
"This matter is true."
Eastern King Gu sighed and said, "In that case, Huánhuā is in danger!"
After pondering, he said, "As a part of Huánhuā, I have felt ashamed of not living up to the expectations of the Daoist Ancestor. I hope Your Majesty can give me an opportunity to atone for my sins through merit."
Emperor Hao was too lazy to speak, he looked at him directly, waiting for the next sentence.
Eastern King Gu said excitedly, "I have the title of Yuhuang Jun, and this time I plan to use the dragon-headed cane of Dao An as a token of my good faith. After obtaining the permission of Your Majesty, I will establish another Daoist platform in Penglai and gather all male immortals from the world to build a Jade Emperor Hall in order to defend against demon gods."
He spoke at length about the scene of leading his followers to resist the chaos demon gods after establishing the Jade Emperor Hall, according to his words, he is old and no longer keeps pace with the times. Now that a great calamity is approaching, he wants to contribute his share of effort. After the chaos demon gods retreat, he will dissolve the Jade Emperor Hall and continue his previous life of leisurely wandering clouds and wild cranes.
Emperor Hao's face was as serious as water. The Jade Emperor is not one of the four pillars of heaven, and Eastern King Gu opening his mouth to govern all male immortals in the world is not a matter of dividing the cake. It seems like he wants to take the whole dish away.
But Eastern King Gu spoke of Dao An and closed his mouth about Dao An, he dared not refute.
He sat there, as still as a clay statue, hoping for someone to come and rescue him from his predicament as soon as possible, anyone would do!
Perhaps his hope was effective, or maybe it was Daoist Ancestor who secretly helped him.
"Nonsense!" "What is the Jade Emperor? Where is the Jade Emperor? Come out and let me see him!" Deng Chanyu and Yun Xiao, along with Li Baijin, strode into the Lingxiao Palace.
She was extremely angry. I endured it when the title of Yuqing Taoism was taken and the name of Zixiao Palace could not be used. Now what do you say? You're also going to take over the honorific title of the Jade Emperor?
You are specifically targeting me!
The guards at the door tried to block her, but she pushed them aside directly. The guards attempted to draw their swords and scold her, but were scared off by Emperor Hao's gaze that seemed like it could devour anything. The guard was terrified and uneasy in his heart, had he just batted on the wrong horse?
At this moment, Emperor Hao looked at Deng Chanyu with complete satisfaction. This person really can cause trouble on a daily basis, but when there's business to be done, she really gets the job done. She is truly a trustworthy ally!
Deng Chanyu didn't even look at him, and Emperor Hao was happy to be a transparent person at this moment.
Deng Chanyu bluntly asked, "Great demon god, since we parted ways in Chaos a long time ago, how are you? Have you healed from the injury I split you in half before?"
Eastern King Gu's face showed a look of confusion: "What are you talking about? Who is this young scamp, so crude and disrespectful? When you see an elder, don't you know to bow and ask after their well-being?"
The old sand standing in the column behind him again stepped forward. He realized that the situation was not going well, as a celestial general, he couldn't just hide behind the pillar at this time.
Li Baijin stepped back two steps instead. It's better to keep a distance from the killing and fighting. He didn't want to get splashed with blood.
Deng Chanyu pointed a finger at Eastern King Gu's nose: "You disguise yourself very well, and because it's not a technique from Huánhuā, the immortals of Huánhuā can't calculate your true form through divination with celestial omens. But I'm different; I recognize you. I remember that stinking smell on you. In the past, I split you in half, and if it weren't for you running away so fast, there would have been a place for you among the three thousand demons slaughtered by the Great Ancestor Pangu."
Emperor Hao did not turn and run upon hearing that this one was a demon god from Chaos. He still possessed the responsibility of a supreme deity at this moment, but he simply frowned. If a demon god equivalent to a saint were to descend, the few present would not be their match. However, this is Huánhuā, and without mentioning the tranquil Lady or the backup left by various saints, Dao An would intervene in critical moments.
He thought of Dao An, and so did Eastern King Gu. He raised the dragon-headed cane: "I don't know what you're talking about. This is a gift from Dao An, so it can't be fake, can it? To question my identity is to question Dao An!"
Deng Chanyu smiled: "The respect for Dao An should be in the heart, not on the lips. You have a part of the spirit and soul of Eastern King Gu inside you, and the dragon-headed cane did not reject you, which is also reasonable."
