264: Chapter 184: Assaulting the Netherworld_3 264: Chapter 184: Assaulting the Netherworld_3 Yang Jian forced a smile, “Don’t mention that Nezha is now just a Celestial Immortal.” Even if he had already become a Heavenly Venerate, and joined forces with Sun Wukong, able to battle Great Emperor Gou Chen, he would still be sweating bullets at this moment. It was then that Yang Jian realized, the Jade Emperor was the Jade Emperor, and the Four Heavenly Kings were the Four Heavenly Kings. The gap in strength between them was truly vast, not even on the same level at all. “He won’t kill us, at least not now,” Yang Jian affirmed. “Why not?” Nezha seemed puzzled. Did one need to pick a time to kill someone? “Even when the position of Great Heavenly Venerate was snatched away by Great Emperor Ziwei, he was reluctant to show himself. Do you think he’d expose his whereabouts just because he wants to kill me? I’m not just any Celestial Immortal that he can say kill and then kill,” Yang Jian said confidently. Nezha was hit hard by those words. Just any Celestial Immortal? Isn’t that him? He glanced at Yang Jian with annoyance and said, “So for me, just an ordinary Celestial Immortal, he’d definitely say kill and just do it.” Yang Jian looked at Nezha and comforted him, “That’s not what I meant. But you can rest assured, the Jade Emperor won’t target you. Killing you wouldn’t serve much purpose.” Nezha expected some consolation, but ended up with a double blow instead. What Yang Jian meant was not only that he was weak but also useless, meaning even the Jade Emperor wouldn’t bother to kill him. Nezha wanted to spew out a mouthful of old blood; it was too insulting. The Jade Emperor was furious; he had not held back from dealing with Yang Jian simply because he was his nephew. His main concern had been not to draw attention, which was why he had not acted. At this moment, his heart was filled with fury. “Heehee, isn’t this our Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate? Rumor had it you died; how come you’re still alive?” A light laughter rang out, and the Jade Emperor quickly turned around. “Shao Siming.” He stated, identifying the person who had arrived. Shao Siming appeared not far from him, her expression a mix of delight and annoyance. The Jade Emperor’s gaze sharpened; indeed, it was Shao Siming. Without betraying any emotion, he stared at Shao Siming and asked, “What are you doing here? Surely you haven’t come to make fun of me?” Shao Siming, however, saw through his intent. She chuckled and said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. Do you really think I’ll give you the chance to capture me while I’m not paying attention?” The Jade Emperor immediately abandoned the thought of attacking. After all, there wasn’t much difference in their strength; it wouldn’t be easy for him to capture Shao Siming. Staring at Shao Siming, the Jade Emperor said, “What have you been hiding in the Three Realms for so many years? If it’s just about letting the Ancient Gods return, I can tell you now, you don’t need to do it yourself, I can let the Ancient Gods return.” Shao Siming’s expression was ambiguous, neither confirming nor denying. This caused the Jade Emperor’s brows to furrow, and he couldn’t help asking, “Could it be that your goal isn’t to bring back the Ancient Gods?” “You guess.” Shao Siming said with a playful smile. The Jade Emperor, of course, couldn’t guess; he didn’t even bother trying. His expression darkened as he said sternly, “Don’t stand in my way. Get out.” He was anything but polite in speaking with Shao Siming. The main reason was the anger burning within him, and he was loath to put on any pretense. If Shao Siming weren’t afraid of exposure, then she could just fight it out with him. But was she really unafraid? At the very least, the threat posed by the Three Pure Ones was something she couldn’t ignore. Sure enough, a cold light flashed in Shao Siming’s eyes, and she decided to hold back. “The Jade Emperor is truly domineering. It’s a pity you’re no longer in the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate. By the way, who is the current Great Heavenly Venerate? It seems to be that Ziwei fellow, heehee.” Although she held back, she still uttered some provocative words targeting the Jade Emperor. A flash of coldness appeared in the Jade Emperor’s eyes as he said icily, “Don’t force me to kill you.” Shao Siming’s figure turned ethereal and disappeared. This darkened the Jade Emperor’s expression; he had only been threatening Shao Siming, after all. If he really had to kill Shao Siming, it would cause an uproar. After taking a deep breath to suppress his raging fury, the Jade Emperor finally departed, returning to Houtu Palace. “Suffered a setback, huh?” Seeing the Jade Emperor’s expression, Lady Houtu said with a light smile. The Jade Emperor glanced at Lady Houtu and huffed. He said indifferently, “It has nothing to do with you.” Lady Houtu was about to offer some words of comfort, but hearing the Jade Emperor’s reply, she coldly huffed in displeasure and turned to leave. The Jade Emperor, however, was unconcerned. A flicker of sharp light danced in his eyes. Lately, too many anomalies had been surfacing between heaven and earth. He had thought that among these anomalies, only the Demon Beast Baize was not to be taken seriously. Who would have thought that Shao Siming was also lying in wait? I thought I had the Three Realms in my grasp, completely under control. It turns out that is only what I believed. There are still things in the Three Realms that I have yet to clarify. A cold smirk appeared on the Jade Emperor’s face, “Since you all are so capable, jumping beyond my control, don’t blame me for being ruthless, cutting down all these variables.” Just then, an aura of majesty enveloped the Jade Emperor. His expression shifted slightly; he looked towards Doushuai Temple with a very unpleasant look. The Jade Emperor was seething with anger, well aware that this was a warning from the Elder Lord, telling him to restrain himself, not to act rashly. This was an unspoken rule between him and The Three Pure Ones: before things became clear, he was not to act carelessly on his own, nor to use his trump cards lightly. Otherwise, The Three Pure Ones might step in to stop him personally from doing certain things. With a snort, the Jade Emperor, though greatly dissatisfied, dared not provoke a conflict with the Elder Lord. Even if he was the Supreme of the Three Realms, confident that he could avoid defeat by the Elder Lord, The Three Pure Ones were not just one entity, but three.
