263: Chapter 184 Attacking the Netherworld_2 263: Chapter 184 Attacking the Netherworld_2 At that moment, Yang Jian sat in the center of the courtyard while Nezha held a pair of scissors, trimming Yang Jian’s hair. “Getting a haircut in the first month is really a good omen. I hope all your wishes come true, second brother,” Nezha said with a laugh, fully aware of what was on Yang Jian’s mind and thus teasing him. Yang Jian offered a faint smile, sighed, and said, “I hope so. I also hope it’s a good omen, as it would save a lot of trouble.” The Jade Emperor’s face darkened. He knew well the common saying, ‘A haircut in the first month means an uncle’s death. With Yang Jian getting a haircut here during the first month, its implications were obvious. “Ahem.” He cleared his throat heavily. Suddenly, the two men and a dog in the courtyard all bristled. To think someone had silently entered the courtyard without their knowledge was utterly terrifying to them. Yang Jian’s hand flashed with light, and the Three-pointed Double-edged Sword appeared in his hand, pointing in the direction of the sound. Nezha wasn’t idle either; he armed himself with all his weapons, pointing them at the Jade Emperor. The barks-at-heaven dog bared its teeth, ready to leap forth and bite at any moment. However, upon seeing who the visitor was, the two men and the dog all shuddered. “The Jade Emperor,” Nezha exclaimed. Yang Jian also looked somewhat surprised, his eyes flickering as he stared at the Jade Emperor. Compared to Nezha, he handled it much better. The worst was the barks-at-heaven dog, which quivered and then peed, clearly scared out of its wits. Yang Jian and the others were speechless, looking disdainfully at the barks-at-heaven dog, which was an utter embarrassment. The dog’s hind legs trembled, clearly terrified. Dogs aren’t really that brave, and the barks-at-heaven dog was no exception. The identity of the person before them was too imposing; it was the Jade Emperor, after all. The barks-at-heaven dog knew the Jade Emperor wasn’t dead, but it never expected the Jade Emperor to come to the Yang Mansion. No wonder they hadn’t sensed his arrival; having sensed the arrival of the Jade Emperor would have been surprising. Yang Jian held his weapon towards the Jade Emperor and spoke coldly, “Who goes there?” The Jade Emperor gave a faint smile and said, “Yang Jian, don’t you recognize your own uncle? Or are you pretending not to recognize him?” Yang Jian was silent for a moment before he finally said, “What are you doing here?” Since the situation was already at this point, continuing to pretend not to recognize the Jade Emperor would only make him seem too unsophisticated. Now, with a slightly icy expression, Yang Jian openly questioned him. The Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said, “I’m here to see you.” “What for?” Yang Jian still looked displeased. His relationship with the Jade Emperor had never been particularly good, else he wouldn’t have been disobeying orders at the Guan River Mouth. The Jade Emperor’s feigned death and the resulting chaos in the Three Realms had only increased Yang Jian’s annoyance with him. Seeing the Jade Emperor now and not attacking immediately was already a concession considering he was his uncle. Otherwise, Erlang would have struck long ago. Observing Yang Jian’s face, the Jade Emperor sighed and said, “You look so much like your mother. If you were a girl, you would be her spitting image.” Yang Jian ignored him, just staring coldly. The Jade Emperor sighed again and said, “Alright, I came here hoping you would become my subordinate. I need your help with some matters.” “Ha, why should I?” Yang Jian countered. The Jade Emperor was taken aback and frowned, saying, “Isn’t it enough that I’m your uncle?” A mockingly amused smile played at the corner of Yang Jian’s mouth as he coolly replied, “Didn’t you notice I just had a haircut for the first month? My uncle is already dead; you are not my uncle.” The Jade Emperor’s brow furrowed, his Qi pulsing with a terrifying intent to kill that began to gather within the Yang Mansion. Yang Jian, unafraid, kept his eyes fixed on the Jade Emperor, ready to act at any moment. Nezha was even more excited, his fighting spirit high. Although the barks-at-heaven dog’s hind legs were weak, it still forced itself to stand and snarl at the Jade Emperor. Yet, it still seemed somewhat lacking in conviction. A fight was about to break out. However, the murderous intent surrounding the Jade Emperor dissipated in an instant. “Why won’t you help me?” The Jade Emperor stared at Yang Jian, truly unable to comprehend. Although they were uncle and nephew, Yang Jian would rather help others than assist him, which the Jade Emperor found hard to accept. “Whoever guards the common people, I will help them. Are the things you intend to do meant to protect the common people?” Yang Jian retorted. The Jade Emperor took a deep breath; naturally, he was not. “Murderers wear gold belts; no bodies lie where roads are built. Yang Jian, you should not live only for the common people. If you do, your end will be very miserable. Whether it’s an Immortal God, they should all live for themselves.” “Ha, if you don’t want to fight, then please leave.” Yang Jian pointed to the door. The Jade Emperor, furious inside, suppressed his urge to kill Erlang and turned to leave. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill Erlang, but rather he knew Erlang wouldn’t be easy to kill. Should any major disturbance occur, and others saw him, the situation would become problematic. People would say, “The Great Heavenly Venerate, neglecting the chaos of the Three Realms, faked his own death just to kill his nephew.” The thought of such rumors was thrilling and unacceptable. Thus, the Jade Emperor reined in his killing intent and held back from acting. Otherwise, there would be no way for Erlang to survive. If anyone thought the Jade Emperor was the type who cared about family ties, they would be exceedingly naive. Seeing the Jade Emperor leave, Erlang and Nezha finally relaxed. Nezha flopped down on the ground and couldn’t help but say, “That was terrifying. Only when you’re actually facing the Great Heavenly Venerate do you realize how frightening he is. I was scared to death just now.”
