Chapter 130 True Immortal Dao Fruit (4,000 words)
Now that the secret has been revealed, Zhang Ling has realized that there is a dark plot involved based on the feedback from heaven and earth.
Since there is a shady deal, no matter who the other party is, we must get an explanation.
Zhang Ling's real body walked forward, taking a step in the air, and stepped into the surface of the Jing River. It seemed as if there was an invisible lotus platform under his feet supporting him, making him look ethereal and extraordinary.
This action immediately attracted the attention of the monsters and demons that were gnawing on the dragon's corpse. They stared with red eyes and were extremely alert, but they did not expect that this seemingly ordinary mortal could be such a hidden existence.
"I am the patrolling god of good and evil. Following the command of the Daoist ancestors and the will of Heaven, I have officially intervened in the case of the Dragon King of Jinghe River as a patrol officer. I only have the name of an inspector. No matter who is at the forefront, I will trace the blame and assign the blame. There is no limit to the consequences!"
After saying this, Zhang Ling's true form appeared, and a fairy light suddenly appeared around him. The divine rainbow that burst out was radiant, and behind him there was a rosy glow gushing out and surging, like mist spreading out. The wind and clouds surged between heaven and earth, and there was a whistling sound. Suddenly, a purple canopy spread out, covering 30,000 miles of the earth. The distant sky was brilliant and the fairy mist and light enveloped the world.
At this moment, Zhang Ling's whole body seemed to be bathed in the golden sun, steaming and shining brightly, his long hair was flowing freely, his face was as handsome as jade, his clothes were fluttering, and he looked cold and solemn.
"Oh no! It's that holy one, run—"
Some demons realized something was wrong in an instant and were thinking of escaping, but the next second they were enveloped by the fairy light and had nowhere to escape. Their bodies froze in mid-air and they couldn't move.
The demons that tried to escape from all directions were fixed in mid-air and unable to move.
They were terrified and their hearts were broken. They never expected to encounter that sacred being. Anyone who came here would tremble with fear and their scalp would go numb.
Zhang Ling gently waved his sleeve, gathering the demons before him. Seeing that they were as humble as dead dogs and dared not speak, he also spoke: "I only want to ask one question: who is the sacred one behind this? Who is plotting this?"
The cold words spread and swept across like the bone-chilling cold of the north wind.
"Your Majesty, we are following the orders of the guardian deities under the throne of the Great Emperor Si Tian Zhao Sheng. We were all forced by him. Every wrong has its perpetrator. You can't just use us as an excuse and let those sacred beings go!"
Nanyue Sitian Zhaosheng Emperor?
Zhang Ling frowned slightly. He naturally knew this great emperor. He was the great emperor who was in charge of the rivers, lakes, seas and beasts in the mortal world. He was one of the Five Great Emperors.
There are four other mountains, namely the Eastern Mountain Tianqi Rensheng Emperor, the Western Mountain Jintian Yuansheng Emperor, the Central Mountain Zhongtian Chongsheng Emperor and the Northern Mountain Antian Xuansheng Emperor.
Just to say that the Nanyue Sitian Zhaosheng Emperor works together with the West Sea to manage the rivers, lakes and seas of the mortal world. He is considered to be a more senior existence in the Mountain and Water Department than the Dragon King of the East Sea. Only the Mountain and Water Department is appointed by the Heavenly Court, and it can be regarded as directly under the Heavenly Court.
After all, all the waters in the world are under the jurisdiction of the dragon clan, so the heavenly court will naturally send direct immortals to perform supervisory duties.
Just like in the Nine Netherworld, the Great Emperor Tianqi Rensheng of Dongyue and the Great Lord Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun are both directly appointed by the Heavenly Court and also have the responsibility of direct supervision.
But why would the great Emperor Zhaosheng of Nanyue Sitian target Ao Xin, the son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?
What exactly happened behind this?
These monsters and demons didn't know too many secrets, and Zhang Ling was unable to obtain any more useful information.
Just as he was thinking about it, a sacred being descended from the sky.
"I am the guardian deity under the throne of the Great Emperor Si Tian Zhao Sheng. I have come here to apprehend these demons by the Great Emperor's order. I wonder who you are, my fellow immortal?"
Coming so soon?
Zhang Ling looked at the other party with some suspicion, but he didn't expect that as soon as he captured these monsters, the guardian god under the throne of the rumored Emperor Si Tian Zhao Sheng hurried over, as if waiting for him.
"Why did you set up this trap to lure me out?"
Zhang Ling looked at the other party with some confusion.
The guardian deity nodded and said, "This is the will of the Great Emperor. This world is about to face a great chaos. The gods in the sky want to take action against the dragon clan and take back the real power of the Mountain and Water Tribe. This is due to the factional struggle. The Great Emperor and the Dragon King of the East China Sea have been close friends for many years. Ao Xin's unjust death is just the beginning. More dragons will die unjustly in the future. Unfortunately, the secret of heaven is obscured by the gods above the nine heavens. The Great Emperor cannot blatantly pass this news to you, fearing that he will be targeted. So he summoned some demons to gnaw on Ao Xin's corpse, so that the secret of heaven can be revealed!"
Zhang Ling counted on his fingers after hearing this, and then said, "There's a termite in Heaven, so why is everyone so tight-lipped and afraid to speak out? Could it be that the termite is so powerful that all the immortals and gods dare not act rashly?"
"No, no, the termite you're talking about might be a savior in the eyes of some other gods. They don't want the four seas and the five lakes and rivers to be occupied by the dragon clan. You also know that this involves the water affairs of the Mountain and Water Department, which is the dragon clan's private territory. It's difficult for outsiders to interfere. What those gods need to do is to innovate and give other immortals and gods the opportunity to join the Mountain and Water Department and serve in one or two positions!"
"How can you satisfy the needs of another group of immortals and gods by unjustly killing dragons? How can you be so logical? I've killed many dragon gods during my patrols, but the Dragon King of the East China Sea has never held a grudge against me. On the contrary, he thinks the killing was a good thing. The vision and magnanimity of his elders make me feel deeply moved. Why did things develop to this point? If there are any termites in the Dragon Clan, kill them one by one, even if there are ten thousand, kill ten thousand. Even though I have such a good personal relationship with the Dragon King of the East China Sea, I have never wavered in my determination, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea is the same..."
"But this is no reason for the Dragon Clan to be plotted against and completely exterminated! Which saint in this world dares to say that his subordinates are all clean? Don't think that just because I investigated the Dragon Clan of the Mountain and Water Tribe and the Underworld Tribe, it means that the saints above the Nine Heavens can rest easy. It's just that I haven't truly ascended to the Nine Heavens yet. Originally, I wanted to let nature take its course and wait for the right time to naturally ascend to the Nine Heavens to stir up the breeze. It seems that today is the time for me to change my mind!"
