Fortunately, Nezha arrived in time and rescued Yao Ji’s children Yang Jian (Jiao Enjun) and Yang Chan (Zhou Yang) from the Jade Emperor’s butcher knife. After growing up, Yang Jian became the apprentice of Daoist Taiyi and acquired an amazing ability.

Yang Jian is determined to let go of his grievances with the Jade Emperor first, and go to the world to control the water with his sister.
