Throwing accusations? Anyone can do that. As long as the three Yang siblings remain unseen, he could fabricate countless reasons to prevent the Great Golden Crow from entering the cave.
Even if they were discovered, the matter could be dragged to the Celestial Court for further debate. After all, when the Yang siblings took a master, they weren’t considered criminals by the heavens. Strictly speaking, they hadn’t violated any celestial laws.
“So, you’re determined to stop me?”
After a fierce verbal exchange, the Great Golden Crow realized he couldn’t best Leo and slowly raised his golden wheel.
He was ready to force his way in. If nothing was found later, he’d just apologize. As long as he didn’t kill the opponent, it wouldn’t be a major issue.
“Seems I’ve been too kind to you. If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and try. Let’s see if I don’t break all three of your chicken legs.”
Seeing the Great Golden Crow prepare to charge, Leo dropped his act.
“You’re courting death!”
Enraged by Leo’s humiliating words, the Great Golden Crow unleashed his Solar True Flame, and his golden wheel shot towards Leo.
*Clang!*
However, with a simple wave, Leo deflected the golden wheel.
With the Great Achievement of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, his physical strength was unparalleled. Even the Golden Wheel of the Great Golden Crow, let alone the mighty Heaven-Overturning Seal of Guangchengzi, couldn’t faze him.
In the later stages, if he reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level and perfected the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, he would achieve a body akin to a saint. Such a physical form would be nearly indestructible except by another saint.
“So, this is all the Great Golden Crow of Heaven has to offer?”
After deflecting the golden wheel, Leo mocked with disdain.
Furious, the Great Golden Crow retrieved his weapon and charged at Leo.
Leo met him head-on without hesitation.
As the son of the Jade Emperor and a Three-Legged Golden Crow embodying the sun itself, the Great Golden Crow could unleash power at the peak of a Golden Immortal. Even the Yaoji, with her heavenly eye, had once been gravely wounded by his careless attack.
Unfortunately for him, he faced Leo, whose Eight-Nine Arcane Art had reached its pinnacle. Not only was his physical strength superior, but his magical power also surpassed the Great Golden Crow by a whole level.
Even without any magical artifacts, Leo dominated the Great Golden Crow with bare hands. Had he employed his mastery of the Ninth Sense or the techniques of the Saint Seiya, he could’ve easily killed the Great Golden Crow.
“Weren’t you arrogant? I’ll show you how to be truly arrogant!”
After knocking the Great Golden Crow to the ground, Leo kicked him mercilessly, aiming straight for his face.
“Don’t just stand there! Attack him!”
Unable to endure the humiliation, the Great Golden Crow shielded himself with his golden wheel and roared at the stunned 50,000 celestial soldiers and generals.
They finally snapped out of it, drawing their weapons and arrows to attack Leo.
“Dragon Soul Tear!”
Leo sneered, then let out a full-powered dragon roar.
Instantly, all 50,000 celestial soldiers and generals screamed in agony, falling from the sky, clutching their heads in pain.
Kicking away the obstructive golden wheel, Leo stepped on the bruised and battered Great Golden Crow, speaking gently:
“Your Highness, shall we have a proper discussion now?”
“You filthy Taoist, don’t think this is over. You’re harboring celestial criminals. Once I report to the Jade Emperor, not even the Primeval Lord of Heaven can shield you.”
Though the Great Golden Crow was pinned underfoot, his tone remained defiant. He was convinced that Leo had been sheltering the three Yang siblings. He suspected that this very disciple of Chan Sect had been the one to trick him with his avatars and take away Yang Tianyou’s body.
Otherwise, why would someone go to such lengths to block his entry into the cave?
“You accuse me of harboring criminals? Fine, fine! Who would’ve thought the noble First Prince of Heaven would be so unreasonable, hurling baseless accusations? Is this how you view my Chan Sect?”
“Very well, since that’s the case, I’ll let you inspect the cave. If you find nothing today, I’ll take it upon myself to visit the Jade Emperor for a proper debate. We’ll see if my Chan Sect truly holds no standing in the Three Realms.”
Feigning outrage, Leo grabbed the Great Golden Crow and dragged him into the cave.
“Search all you want. See if there are any celestial criminals here.”
The Great Golden Crow shot a fierce glare at Leo. Knowing he wasn’t strong enough to fight back, he begrudgingly searched the cave, hoping to find traces of the Yang siblings.
However, aside from a collection of Taoist scriptures, the cave was empty.
“Hmph, I knew you were after our Taoist texts. How do you explain this?”
Seeing the Great Golden Crow’s gaze land on the scriptures, Leo immediately seized the opportunity to accuse.
“I wasn’t! Since there are no celestial criminals here, I must apologize.”
The Great Golden Crow hastily averted his gaze, bowed, and turned to leave.
Having failed to find the Yang siblings and suffering a beating, he felt utterly humiliated. All he wanted now was to leave as quickly as possible.
But Leo wasn’t about to let him off that easily.
“Leaving already? Not so fast. Today, I’m going with you to Heaven to seek justice from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.”
Seizing the Great Golden Crow, Leo flew towards the Heavenly Court.
“Let me go! Release me!”
The Great Golden Crow struggled fiercely, even igniting his Solar True Flame, but he couldn’t break free from Leo’s grip.
“Who goes there? Oh, Your Highness, you’ve returned.”
The celestial guards at the Southern Heavenly Gate, seeing a white cloud swiftly approach from below, raised their weapons. Upon recognizing the Great Golden Crow, they quickly lowered them, showing respect.
Leo released the Great Golden Crow.
“Your Highness, dare you debate with me before the Jade Emperor?”
“Hmph, why not?”
The Great Golden Crow, shaking off Leo’s grip, replied angrily.
Just as they were about to pass through the gate towards the Hall of Celestial Harmony, they encountered Marshal Tianpeng, General Juanlian, and a host of celestial soldiers escorting Yaoji.
“Your Highness, what happened to you? Why is your face bruised?”
Marshal Tianpeng, suppressing a grin, asked with feigned concern.
The Great Golden Crow glared coldly.
“Marshal Tianpeng, mind your business.”
“Well, well, the legendary Marshal Tianpeng. It’s an honor to meet you.”
Leo praised.
Hearing the compliment, Marshal Tianpeng straightened his belly and responded courteously:
“You flatter me. And you, Taoist, must be a master. Which celestial mountain do you hail from?”
