Rebirth of Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods

It was certain that the young man was none other than Aoguang's son, but it was unclear which son he was. His good fortune lay in just narrowly avoiding Li Mingzhu, who returned from Chaos.

If Li Mingzhu had encountered him, it would have been impossible for him to escape the same fate as Ao Bing.

The Starship shot through the thirty-three layers of heaven like a meteor, breaking through the fierce winds and entering the mortal world. Within half an hour, Li Mingzhu had already brought Yang Chan back to Chentang Pass.

Li Mingzhu's return was a major event for the entire Chentang Pass.

As soon as Li Mingzhu set foot in Chentang Pass, word quickly spread and reached the General's Mansion.

"The Third Young Master is back!"

"The Third Young Master is back!"

....

The entire Chentang Pass erupted with excitement, regardless of age or gender.

Seeing Li Mingzhu, the poor citizens were overjoyed and directly bowed down. After all, Li Mingzhu had previously done much to repair Chentang Pass by dealing with its scoundrels and ruffians.

The wealthy merchants and officials were also grateful. Although Li Mingzhu had disciplined their descendants, Li Jing nevertheless arranged military roles for them, turning misfortune into a blessing.

The young maidens were even more extravagant. Those who had yet to marry all rushed out to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of Li Mingzhu.

The main reason for this was the result of exaggerated rumors. It was said that the Third Young Master of the General's family was a handsome young man just three months after birth, and everyone wanted to see him, leading to this scene.

This was something Li Mingzhu had not anticipated, but fortunately, both he and Yang Chan were experts with Daoist skills. With an Earth Escape Skill, they went directly to the General's Mansion.

Upon returning to the General's Mansion, Madam Yin was overjoyed that her beloved son had finally returned.

She initially wanted to celebrate grandly and ask about the beautiful girl beside her son, but Li Mingzhu stopped her and quickly had someone fetch Li Jing.

When Li Jing arrived, Li Mingzhu did not conceal anything and recounted what happened after going to sea, excluding the secrets of the Jie Sect.

"The power of the Dragon Clan is indeed formidable, but since Mingzhu is fully prepared, our Li Family will not fear the Dragon Palace!"

After hearing everything, although Li Jing was quite unhappy with Li Mingzhu's troublesome nature, he knew this was not his son's fault. Li Mingzhu was, after all, his son.

How could he not protect his own family over outsiders?

"Exactly! If it comes to it, we'll fight that old dragon to the death!" Madam Yin said assertively, exuding killing intent from her battlefield experiences, fearless and formidable!

"Aunt Yin, it won't be as exaggerated as that. If it's just that old dragon, Mingzhu and I should be able to handle it." Yang Chan said gently with a smile.

"Chan'er is right. You both have the secret treasures bestowed by Nuwa, so I am reassured." Madam Yin said with a smile, evidently very fond of Yang Chan.

When Li Mingzhu recounted the events, he had also explained Yang Chan's identity, and Madam Yin had much affection for the girl who, despite her noble identity now, had once led a pitiful life wandering.

"Li Jing! Li Jing!"

"Hand over Li Mingzhu, or I shall flood Chentang Pass today!"

Just as Li Mingzhu was about to discuss some specific countermeasures, a thunderous shout exploded over Chentang Pass, actually just the sound of thunder, but to Li Mingzhu and company it became Aoguang's threat to Li Jing.

As soon as Aoguang's voice was heard, Li Mingzhu immediately sent people to inform the citizens to prepare.

In an instant, the previously clear skies turned threateningly overcast, with violent winds and thundering storm clouds.

"Let's go! Let's take a look."

Without Li Mingzhu's command, Li Jing was undoubtedly the backbone.

Once Li Jing spoke, Li Mingzhu, along with Yang Chan and Madam Yin, swiftly followed, flying into the air.

The mid-air was relatively calm compared to the howling winds on the ground, and above the clouds, a golden aura was already awaiting them.

A five-clawed golden dragon, rolling and flickering amid the clouds, transformed upon seeing Li Mingzhu and company into a tall and majestic middle-aged man, exuding an extraordinary presence. He wore a golden crown, his head adorned with dragon horns, and was clad in a golden dragon robe.

"Aoguang! What is your intent in coming to Chentang Pass?"

Before Aoguang could speak, Li Jing took the initiative, perhaps driven by the confidence that the Nuwa's gifts provided, or it was Aoguang's overbearing attitude that provoked him. Regardless, Li Jing, at this moment, was no longer the weak image in Li Mingzhu's mind.

In that moment, Li Mingzhu forgave Li Jing entirely.

In that moment, Madam Yin's face bloomed like a peach blossom, as Li Jing's youthful brilliance returned!

In that moment, Yang Chan was stunned, never having imagined a mere mortal body could dare question a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Insolent! Li Jing, your son dared to kill my third son, and now you still dare question me? This is outrageous. It is said that the General of Chentang Pass loves the people like his own children, but now it seems otherwise, as you abandon the common people for your own kin!"

Aoguang sneered coldly, and a storm-like dragon might pressed down, as deep and hellish as a chasm!

But just as that dragon might was about to descend, a faint blue aura emanated softly from Li Mingzhu, dispersing the terrifying dragon might instantly.

Aoguang expressed a sound of surprise, but didn't overly concern himself. After all, disciples of great sects wielding several spiritual treasures was nothing new to him, yet he underestimated the supreme innate spiritual treasure in Li Mingzhu's possession.

As the dragon might failed, Aoguang raised his left hand, evoking a roar of myriad dragons behind him. Countless ice arrows and hail gathered rapidly, sweeping towards Li Mingzhu and company like a tempest.

Aoguang had made up his mind, no matter what, he had to subdue Li Jing first.

Unfortunately, even such a grand attack from Aoguang was still neutralized by Li Mingzhu, who secretly activated the Treasure Lotus Lamp.

Li Mingzhu looked at Aoguang with a playfully derisive expression. Despite not speaking, it fueled Aoguang's anger further.

"Humph! Spiritual treasures are powerful, but can only protect a few of you. I shall see if you can protect the entire city!"

Aoguang snorted coldly, his mind clear of his strategy, aware that unless he united the strength of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, it would be challenging to kill Li Mingzhu with his strength alone.

Therefore, it was better to leverage Li Jing's concern for the people to bind Li Mingzhu. But, alas, contrary to the rumors, Li Jing revealed unexpected resilience.

But now Aoguang couldn't be bothered with such matters; regardless of Li Jing's response, he was determined to flood Chentang!

As soon as Aoguang finished speaking, the weather changed again, with torrential rain mixed with hailstones and ice arrows cascading down like a landslide, suffocating just to watch from the sidelines.

Needless to say, the citizens of Chentang Pass caught in the midst were much more affected. However, thanks to Li Mingzhu's pre-emptive preparations, they handled it quite well.

As for the torrential rain, it was entirely blocked by the innate Earth elements. These innate Earth elements had been used by Yu the Great's father to control floods, and though ultimately unsuccessful, their innate restraining existence was undeniable.

The innate Earth elements transformed into vast lakes, unaffected by the fiercest storm from the heavens.

This displayed the power of the innate Earth elements!
