Chapter 659 Haotian won't hit me, will he?
Unless Niu Ben's cultivation level has surpassed that of a saint.
But that's unlikely.
Niu Ben's face was expressionless.
He simply gave a faint "humph".
That soft hum was like a pardon.
The terrifying aura that had been pressing down on Haotian, the entire Lingxiao Palace, and the hearts of all the immortals and gods vanished without a trace in an instant.
"You should all leave this place."
Niu Ben's voice rang out again, still in that calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"Haotian and I have some things to discuss."
These words were like heavenly music to the celestial officials below who were terrified!
"Yes! Yes! We will take our leave! We will take our leave immediately!"
The closest celestial officials, as if their backsides were on fire, scrambled to their feet and rushed out of the hall without looking back.
At this moment, they couldn't care about anything else. Celestial demeanor and the majesty of the Heavenly Court were all thrown to the winds.
They now have only one thought in mind: to escape.
Escape this place.
They would rather go back and face the furious Haotian than stay here for even a second longer!
With one person taking the lead, the rest of the immortals and gods surged towards the gate of the Lingxiao Palace like a tidal wave.
In an instant, the sounds of pushing and shoving and exclamations rose and fell.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
However, Niu Ben, sitting on the dragon throne, didn't even lift his eyelids.
These gods and immortals, who were no different from ants in his eyes, were not worth his attention at all.
In just a dozen or so breaths.
The Lingxiao Palace, which was originally filled with celestial officials, became completely empty.
Only Haotian and Niu Ben, who was sitting on the dragon throne, remained.
"I wonder... what Senior Brother Niu Ben... wants to say?"
Haotian finally spoke, his voice hoarse and dry, filled with endless exhaustion and humiliation.
He no longer dared to refer to himself as "朕" (the imperial "I"), but instead used the title "师兄" (senior brother).
Faced with absolute power, his pitiful saintly dignity has been completely shattered.
Niu Ben did not answer him immediately.
He simply rose slowly from the dragon throne, then stretched out his hand and gently waved it towards the empty hall.
hum!
An invisible wave, unseen by the naked eye, instantly spread out from him.
At this moment, the entire space of the Lingxiao Palace seemed to have become an independent canvas, forcibly peeled off from the primordial world.
An incredibly profound array silently enveloped the entire hall.
It has isolated all heavenly secrets and blocked all investigations.
When Haotian saw this scene, his heart clenched!
What's going on?
What is he going to do?
Drive everyone away, then set up a grand formation to isolate the secrets of heaven...
A thought that sent chills down his spine and nearly made his soul fly away uncontrollably rose from the depths of his heart.
He...he's not going to hit me here, is he?
The moment this thought appeared, it was like wildly growing weeds, instantly occupying Haotian's entire mind.
The hairs on his body stood on end once again!
Hit me?
Is a saint going to take action against another saint here?
This is absolutely insane!
If sages were to fight, how huge would the commotion be? Let alone the Lingxiao Palace, probably half of the Heavenly Court would be reduced to ruins!
More importantly, the sage's primordial spirit resides in the Heavenly Dao, making him immortal and indestructible. A battle between them would be impossible to determine a winner, only adding to the karmic burden and disrupting the workings of Heaven.
Therefore, after the great calamity of the Lich King, a tacit understanding was formed among the sages: if they could use words, they would never use actions.
But the Niu Ben in front of us is clearly not a madman who can be judged by common sense!
He even dared to sit on the Heavenly Emperor's dragon throne and force me to kneel in front of the entire court of officials. What else wouldn't he dare to do?
Thinking of this, Haotian's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He subconsciously took half a step back, his saintly magical power instantly reaching its peak, ready to deal with any possible thunderous blow.
Although he knew he was no match for his opponent, sitting idly by and waiting for death was never Haotian's style.
However, the anticipated attack did not occur.
After setting up the grand formation, Niu Ben simply put his hands behind his back again and quietly looked at him with his seemingly cloudy but actually all-seeing old eyes.
That look in his eyes was very complex.
Gone was the previous mockery and oppression; instead, there was a hint of... pity?
Haotian was taken aback.
mercy?
Why is he looking at me like that?
Just as Haotian was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Niu Ben finally spoke.
"Haotian, you have truly been a saint for too long, and have been completely blinded by the Heavenly Dao."
Niu Ben's voice drifted over, carrying an indescribable sense of emotion.
Haotian was completely dumbfounded.
What does that mean?
Wasn't he going to hit me? Why is he suddenly saying such strange things?
Have they been blinded by the will of Heaven?
What does this mean?
I am a sage of the Heavenly Dao, my body is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, and I govern the Three Realms on behalf of Heaven. How could I be deceived by the Heavenly Dao?
What exactly is Niu Ben trying to do?
For a moment, Haotian's mind couldn't quite process it.
He simply couldn't keep up with Niu Ben's train of thought.
One moment they are domineering and trample on their own dignity, the next they adopt the posture of an elder lecturing a junior and say some profound and unfathomable things.
This stark contrast made Haotian feel like a clown being manipulated.
"Senior Brother Niu Ben... what do you mean by that?"
Haotian forcibly suppressed the shock and anger in his heart and cautiously asked.
He was genuinely scared now, and could only go along with Niu Ben's words, afraid that he might say something wrong and upset the madman again.
"What do you mean?"
Niu Ben looked at his cautious and timid appearance and gently shook his head.
"Do you really think that I came to your Lingxiao Palace today just to humiliate you and vent my anger for my disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian's heart stirred.
Is not it?
Given your unreasonable and overprotective nature, isn't it normal for you to do something like this?
Of course, he only dared to think these words in his heart and would never dare to say them out loud.
"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother." Haotian bowed even lower.
Niu Ben stopped keeping everyone in suspense.
He looked at Haotian, his eyes becoming somewhat profound.
"Do you think that your sister Yaoji descended to the mortal realm without permission, mated with a mortal, and gave birth to an illegitimate child, causing you to lose face and deserving of death?"
Upon hearing the name "Yao Ji," Haotian's body trembled violently!
This is a thorn in his side!
A thorn that has been stuck for thousands of years, painful to the touch!
His face instantly turned ugly, and a hint of barely suppressed anger and pain flashed in his eyes.
"That lowly maidservant who yearned for the mortal world has violated the Heavenly Rules and disgraced my Heavenly Court! I... I have already shown her mercy by imprisoning her under Peach Mountain!"
When this matter was mentioned, Haotian could hardly control his emotions.
That was a stain on his life!
