Chapter 348 is a scheme orchestrated by those two Western sages.
Upon hearing Haotian's shout to retreat, all the celestial officials and generals in the hall were taken aback.
After all, Chen Changsheng clearly showed disrespect to Haotian.
The gods and immortals originally thought that Haotian would be angry.
To everyone's surprise, judging from Haotian's expression, he didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter further.
Besides, Chen Changsheng trespassed into the forbidden area of the Heavenly Court, and in principle, he should have been suppressed.
But in the end, it was resolved by the giant spirit god sent by Haotian.
Moreover, judging from the fawning and flattering attitude of the Giant Spirit God towards Chen Changsheng, it seems that Chen Changsheng has other unknown identities.
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, are you... going to condone this human race?"
"What exactly is the relationship between this child and His Majesty?"
"..."
Many celestial officials and generals were filled with hesitation.
"Um?"
Just as they were stunned, Haotian, sitting on the throne, suddenly frowned and said coldly:
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Upon hearing this, the celestial officials and generals in the hall finally came to their senses and hurriedly bowed to Haotian.
"We take our leave!"
Then, no one dared to linger any longer. They left the Lingxiao Palace in fear and trepidation.
Seeing this, the giant spirit wisely retreated to stand guard outside the palace gate.
While the other celestial officials and generals were unaware of what was going on, he knew.
Haotian dismissed everyone at this time because he wanted to have a good talk with his nephew-in-law.
At this moment, the numerous celestial officials and generals who had emerged from the Lingxiao Palace were all whispering among themselves:
"Tell me, what is the relationship between those human beings and His Majesty?"
"Who knows!"
"However, it seems that there must be a close relationship between the two."
"It's best not to speak recklessly. If you anger His Majesty, you'll be in deep trouble!"
"..."
At this moment, inside the Lingxiao Palace.
The imperial aura emanating from Haotian suddenly subsided, and the pressure that had been lingering in the hall vanished instantly.
Chen Changsheng stood still, his expression calm.
After a slight pause, Haotian waved his hand lightly, and an invisible surge of magical power instantly emerged, completely enveloping the Lingxiao Palace.
Chen Changsheng remained calm despite this.
It was obvious that Haotian had set up a protective barrier inside the Lingxiao Palace to prevent divine sense from probing.
After setting up the barrier, Haotian let out a long sigh of relief. His originally dignified face suddenly became much more weathered and profound.
Then, his gaze sharpened and fell on Chen Changsheng.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng also looked straight at Haotian.
Their eyes met.
After staring at each other for a while, Haotian spoke first and asked:
"Is Chan'er doing well at Nuwa Palace?"
When Haotian said this, his tone was very calm, and his expression was full of concern.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew that Haotian must have taken notice of his previous trespassing through the Southern Heavenly Gate and then climbing the Heavenly Road to head straight for the Chaos Beyond the Heavens.
It can be guessed that her journey to the outer chaos was to visit Yang Chan at Nuwa's Palace.
Moreover, Chen Changsheng had already guessed this.
Thinking about how he had climbed the Heavenly Road without encountering any obstacles, he wondered if it was related to the Heavenly Emperor.
Otherwise, the vast Heavenly Realm wouldn't be something he could climb as he pleased to ascend the Heavenly Path.
In fact, it was just as Chen Changsheng had guessed.
After he passed through the South Heavenly Gate, the Giant Spirit God immediately went to see Haotian and informed him of Chen Changsheng's unauthorized trespassing into the Heavenly Realm.
After learning of this, Haotian used the Haotian Mirror to create a Heavenly Emperor's Edict, which has been hovering above Chen Changsheng's head ever since.
Chen Changsheng himself was unaware, but the people of the Heavenly Court in each of the heavens could see it.
It was precisely because Chen Changsheng was focused on Haotian's edict that he was able to travel unimpeded to the border between the Heavenly Realm and Chaos.
After a moment's thought, Chen Changsheng came to his senses and said calmly:
"Chan'er is doing well in Nuwa Palace."
"Her cultivation has improved day by day, and the Sage Nuwa has treated her well."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's reply, Haotian nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, that's good!"
Chen Changsheng glanced at Haotian, then, without beating around the bush, said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, you summoned me here alone, not just to ask about Chan'er's recent condition, were you?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian paused for a moment, staring directly at Chen Changsheng, his eyes filled with an unyielding heaviness.
He could naturally tell that Chen Changsheng harbored a lot of resentment towards him; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted this way upon seeing him.
After a brief pause, Haotian spoke:
"Chang Sheng, I know you harbor many grievances against me!"
"Back then, I suppressed your mother-in-law, who is also my younger sister, Fairy Yaoji, under Peach Mountain. The reasons for this were complicated and involved a great deal of people."
"Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and even I have my own reasons for not being able to do them."
"That's why I was so ruthless just now, suppressing her."
At this point, Haotian sighed helplessly.
He knew that Yang Chan's children resented him deeply, and he was probably the same way about his nephew-in-law, Chen Changsheng.
That's why he had the Giant Spirit God bring Chen Changsheng to meet him, in order to clear up some misunderstandings.
After listening to what Haotian said, Chen Changsheng's expression remained largely unchanged.
Seeing his expression, Haotian was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that after he said these things, he would inevitably be questioned by Chen Changsheng.
But Chen Changsheng remained extremely calm and didn't ask any questions.
Just as Haotian hesitated, Chen Changsheng suddenly spoke:
"I know."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Haotian was immediately shocked and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"What? You...you know?"
"Could it be that your grandmaster told you?"
Haotian thought of the Sage Tongtian.
After all, all the saints knew the reasons behind Yao Ji's incident, including Tongtian, the leader of the Jie Sect.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was slightly taken aback.
He naturally knew that Yao Ji was suppressed under Peach Mountain by her own brother Haotian not because she had violated the heavenly rules.
Behind this incident lies the scheming of two Western saints.
Upon hearing what Haotian said, Chen Changsheng's heart stirred slightly. He thought that since Haotian had said so, he might as well take the opportunity to back down and save himself the trouble of coming up with an excuse.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng did not deny it, a hint of understanding flashed in Haotian's eyes.
"call!"
He paused for a moment, then let out a long breath, his heart filled with mixed emotions. What he feared most was not being understood by his family.
After a brief silence, Haotian spoke:
"In that case, you should understand that Yao Ji was suppressed under Peach Mountain. In name, it was a violation of the Heavenly Laws, but in reality... it was a scheme orchestrated by those two Western saints."
"Their intention was to sow discord among the people of Heaven, and they also wanted to use this matter to interfere with the destiny of the East."
"Back then, I had no choice but to do it."
"Back then, my foundation was not yet stable, and I was beset by internal and external troubles. Faced with the schemes of a sage, I had no choice but to... compromise and suppress my own sister to quell the trouble and buy time and space."
