Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 406 Swearing is Really Useful
"I always thought that the coming of the great era was just a trick of those old guys, but I didn't expect that..."
Zhong Sanyuan put down his teacup and sighed.
"They actually stumbled upon Lord Li's plan by accident. How lucky they are."
In addition to expressing his feelings, Zhong Sanyuan couldn't help feeling a little regretful and unwilling.
Don't be fooled by his nonchalant attitude, as if he doesn't care about anything, that's because he knows whose shadow he is living in. Caring about something means pretending to be covered in blood and being beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind him.
But this is clearly an advantageous situation. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of it?
What’s more, it is a moment of creating new history.
Dai Qianqiu and the other two had the same idea, but some things cannot be participated in just by thinking about it.
Just as the four were sighing, Shen Ziqing received another message from Li Yanmo. In short, he invited Zhong Sanyuan and others to get together and play a game of chess.
Zhong Sanyuan's hands trembled and he stood there in a daze, while the other three opened their mouths wide.
Shen Ziqing was the first to break the silence, raising his hands and applauding, "Congratulations——"
Dai Qianqiu, Yang Tianding, and Luo Tong had different expressions, some were jealous, some were jealous, and some were still jealous, but in the end they all chose to applaud and say congratulations.
“Uhhhh—”
Zhong Sanyuan clenched his fists as if he had won the lottery, and roared excitedly. Only in this way could he vent his excitement at the moment.
"Master! Lord Li invited me to play chess! Play chess!"
Zhong Sanyuan was the first to report the good news to Kong Pu.
When Kong Pu heard this, he smiled calmly, "Don't call me Sect Master. From today on, you are the Sect Master of the Xinghe Three Transformations Sect."
"Okay - call me Sect Master."
"...But your cultivation is too shallow now, I will keep it for you for a few days." After saying that, Kong Pu stood up and waved his hand. The mahjong tiles in front of him fell one by one, "Big Four Happiness + One Color + Four Gangs + Four Concealed Cuts."
Liexuan, Tianqiong and Xia Tian stared at Kong Pu's rotten cards with their eyes twitching wildly and their faces full of envy.
Kong Pu clasped his hands together and said, "Excuse me, everyone. My disciple is really too smart. I have to leave first."
"…Should I tell Hong Menglian about this?"
"She must be notified!"
The four of them stopped playing mahjong and ran towards Hong Menglian. At that moment, Hong Menglian was screening the invitation list with Taoist Hunyuan and Taoist Tianxuan.
Seeing the four people walking side by side and swaggering, Hong Menglian's pupils suddenly shrank. Just as she was about to leave, Kong Pu suddenly spoke up, "Hey - how did you know that my apprentice Zhong Sanyuan was invited by Lord Li to play chess?"
Hong Menglian felt a tightness in her chest.
Everyone knew that Li Yanmo was playing chess, but those present knew in their hearts that the game Li Yanmo had set was too big, and they had just entered the game, so they didn't even know who the mastermind behind the Immortal Palace was. Any rash action would only cause trouble for Li Yanmo.
Therefore, Hong Menglian felt that she was the one with the highest status among all people and was qualified to help Li Yanmo select who could join the group.
Who could have thought that Kong Pu’s disciples would be directly invited to play chess? Could it be just a simple game of chess? Even if it looks like a simple game of chess, there must be a deeper meaning behind it, maybe it is conveying some message! For example, tell others that he is very optimistic about Zhong Sanyuan.
Anyway, it is definitely much higher than the position of screening who can join the company.
"Master Hong, your expression doesn't seem right. By the way, has your disciple been invited to play chess?"
The corner of Hong Menglian's eyes jumped fiercely, and she said stubbornly, "Mu'er has the Supreme Golden Pill! And, she was regarded as a surprise weapon!"
"But my apprentice was invited to play chess."
Hong Menglian clenched her fists tightly, with veins bulging on her forehead.
So envious!
In the end, it was the Taoist Hunyuan who smoothed things over. “Congratulations to Mr. Kong—no, congratulations to Master Kong, but don’t forget our main business this time.”
When talking about business, the four smiling people also turned serious. You can show off as much as you want, but you only have this one chance to get things done.
"At present, I have selected twenty-seven super sects. None of them has anything to do with the Immortal Palace. In the matter of Yanzhou, the performance of their disciples can only be described as... very reliable!" Kong Pu thought of the information he had collected. If it were in the past, he would have slammed the table and denounced the current Taoist geniuses for being mentally ill and not striving for progress.
But now he only felt that each of those Taoist geniuses had a promising future, and they were immediately distinguished from those geniuses who had ties with the Immortal Palace.
Xia Tian also added at this time, "We are now discussing whether to test their leader."
"Let's go now!"
Seven semi-immortals came to the super sect Xianyue Tower in a mighty procession. The moment the sect leader Xiantian Daoist saw Kong Pu and Xia Tian leading the charge, his face darkened. “Since you two came to report me when that crazy woman Hong Menglian took my stamp collection, I won’t report your stupid behavior to Dayu! But I don’t want to see you again!”
Kong Pu smiled calmly and said slowly, "It was Master Li Yanmo who asked me to do that in order to expose the eternal black hand of the Immortal Palace! You may not know that Dayu has long been infiltrated by Master Li. Even Emperor Yu is just resisting stubbornly. In fact... Emperor Yu has already stepped into Master Li's net."
"You think you..."
"I swear on my realm, my Dao heart, and my sect's entire fortune!"
Kong Pu's straightforward and poisonous oath scared the Xiantian Taoist. You know, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the effect of the oath. Kong Pu is a half-immortal. If there is any mistake, Kong Pu will lose his own people, but the entire Galaxy Three Transformations Sect will be destroyed as well.
Taoist Xiantian stuttered and looked at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian blinked, suddenly realized, smiled, raised his hands above his head and swore the same oath.
Taoist Xiantian fell silent, while Kong Pu and Xia Tian became excited as if they had discovered the secret to passing the level.
This oath is very useful, since they are not lying anyway.
"I... swear on my cultivation and the fortune of my sect that I will not tell anyone about this conversation," Xiantian Taoist sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, you two, I don't know what you know, but I can't gamble with you on the safety of my sect's disciples."
"The Emperor Yu has extraordinary means. He is the most powerful Emperor Yu in history, and is very likely the most powerful cultivator. Moreover, he also has Xiao Yun, who has the unprecedented bones of a saint."
"Even if Tianxu Tower has infiltrated the prince and princess, so what? When Xiao Yun's Saint Bone is fully developed, no one will be able to shake the rule of the Dayu Dynasty!"
"But Xiao Yun is Master Li's apprentice."
“…”
"Oh—I swear it's true."
“…My two good brothers, I knew you were the best to me. You thought of me first when something good happened,” Xiantian Taoist smiled instantly.
Liexuan and others also came out. Xiantian Taoist hesitated for a moment and then said, "Anyway, just think of me."
