This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

With Zhang Daoling’s announcement of the “Heavenly Emperor’s decree,” the wailing began in front of the South Heaven Gate.

“Your Majesty!”

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

“We didn’t interfere in the mortal world, we just congratulated Celestial Master Xu on becoming an immortal…”

“Humph!”

Zhang Daoling rolled up the decree and stepped down from the immortal cloud, scolding, “Do you really think your little tricks and schemes can deceive the Heavenly Emperor?”

The group of immortals fell silent.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Daoling sighed, lowered his voice, and said, “To be honest with you, the Heavenly Emperor saw through this matter from the very beginning, but he did not stop you… You should understand the meaning behind it.”

“It’s just that someone downstairs is unhappy.”

Zhang Daoling pointed down at his feet.

At this moment, the group of immortals all stared blankly, and those with quick reactions already had their faces changing colors.

The Heavenly Emperor didn’t stop them at first… but someone downstairs was unhappy?!

Downstairs?

The “downstairs” referred to by Celestial Master Zhang must not be the mortal world.

Although the mortal world’s waters are deep, they are not enough to interfere with the Heavenly Emperor’s will!

So, this “downstairs” must represent the Underworld Palace!

And Xu Yang, is the son of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu!

This matter is no longer a secret in the Heavenly Court… In this situation, everyone secretly helping Xu Yang, even the Heavenly Emperor didn’t say anything, but someone in the Underworld Palace is unhappy?!

Who is this person?

Their identity must not be ordinary if they can interfere with the Heavenly Emperor’s will!

A name flashed through the minds of the immortals-@@novelbin@@

Emperor Dongyue!

“Emperor Dongyue has not appeared for hundreds of years, and there are rumors in the Underworld… that Emperor Dongyue was seriously injured in the battle with the Blood Emperor and had to be reincarnated. Could it be that his reincarnation has returned to the Underworld?”

Holy crap!

Qianli Yan’s eyes shifted, and he suddenly caught a whiff of gossip!

If Emperor Dongyue really returned… why did he do this?

Could it be that he wants to compete for power with Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu City?

It’s not impossible.

After all, in the Underworld Palace, the only ones who can interfere with the Heavenly Emperor’s will are Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu and Emperor Dongyue. If it’s not Emperor Dongyue, could it be Emperor Beiyin himself?

Who would set their own son up like this?

Shunfeng Er, on the other hand, covered his mouth and dared not speak.

Unlike Qianli Yan.

He knew Xu Yang’s true identity!

So…

The story that popped into his head was a different version!

Could it be…

Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu doesn’t want him to return?

Seeing the group of immortals deep in thought, Zhang Daoling said, “Alright, don’t think too much… You should thank the Heavenly Emperor quickly. I need to report back to him.”

The group of immortals knelt down and thanked the Heavenly Emperor, accepting the imperial edict.

Qianli Yan’s eyes popped out, secretly scanned the edict, and exclaimed in surprise, stopping Zhang Daoling who was about to return and report-

“Huh!”

“Celestial Master Zhang, is there a mistake in the Heavenly Emperor’s edict?”

“The edict only mentions a penalty of ten years’ salary and demotion to the mortal world, but it doesn’t say anything about being pushed onto the Immortal Execution Platform, having our immortal bones removed, being cast into the mortal world, experiencing reincarnation, and suffering for countless years of pain… Wooo… Wooo…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence before Shunfeng Er covered his mouth with one hand and scolded, “Shut up, are you a fucking idiot?”

The surrounding immortals gritted their teeth in anger.

Sirius Star Lord couldn’t help but say, “Qianli Yan, if you can’t speak properly, just say less… Look, you’re so annoying that Shunfeng Er, a mute, started to talk.”

Once Zhang Daoling left, the group of immortals were immediately excited.

Shunfeng Er let go of Qianli Yan.

Qianli Yan jumped straight up from the ground and said, “So, we can just go straight to the mortal world? With our cultivation level, won’t we be able to walk sideways on Earth?”

“We’re sin-bearing gods; I think we shouldn’t be too high-profile.”

Lord Thunder solemnly said, “But eating and drinking in the mortal world shouldn’t be a problem… Let me tell you, nowadays, the mortal world is developing rapidly. Beauties on the street can wear just a bellyband and walk around, hehe!”

After discussing among themselves, the immortals went back to their respective homes, packed their things to take to the mortal world, and met outside the South Heaven Gate the next day. They arrived in the mortal world together.

…

Mortal world.

2023, November 14th, Lunar September 18th.

Wu City.

In the villa.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged on his bedroom bed, carefully sensing the immortal Daoist rules within his body and the vast, sea-like heavenly power. He opened the system attribute panel in his mind.
