Chapter 423 Made a Mess
Chang Hao smiled and glanced back at him from the mountaintop. "Yuanshi Tianzun is pursuing me so relentlessly. Could it be that he really wants to take me as his disciple?"
Yuanshi Tianzun hesitated for a moment, wanting to agree but feeling unwilling. Oh no, could it be that severing the three corpses really has some aftereffects, or that his three corpses were never united?
Otherwise, how could they be of two minds and be mutually opposed?
The expression of the Primordial Celestial Venerable gradually became solemn.
Chang Hao glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun and said, "Since that's not the case, Tianzun, please move aside and don't follow me."
He's busy, and has put aside his personal feelings for the time being. Of course, if Yuanshi Tianzun really wanted to stay by his side, he wouldn't send him away.
“My disciple is still in your hands,” Yuanshi Tianzun said, using his long-forgotten disciple as a reason, “Please return him.”
A strange emotion gradually arose, and Yuanshi Tianzun did not want to let this person leave.
“No,” Chang Hao refused resolutely. “Now that the Twelve Golden Immortals have come to Yin Shang, how can I not fulfill my duty as a host?”
“Now that we’ve come to Yin Shang, we can come as we please, but when we leave, it’s all up to fate. Once everything is settled, no one’s face will matter.” Chang Hao preemptively interrupted Yuanshi Tianzun before he could speak.
It's a fact that the Twelve Golden Immortals are against him; if he wants to see the light of day again, he'll have to wait a long time.
“They are my disciples, the Primordial Celestial Venerable. Considering that you did not harm their lives, I can let bygones be bygones. Hand them over to me, and I will let you go.” The Primordial Celestial Venerable found a reason, his tone was harsh, and his attitude was firm.
Her cold eyes were fixed on Chang Hao, as if afraid that if she looked away for even a moment, he would disappear without a trace.
"Does the Celestial Venerable truly intend to do this?" Chang Hao suddenly realized why the Primordial Celestial Venerable had said that if they met again, he should be more patient and tolerant, and give him time.
If you didn't know the situation, you might think that the Primordial Celestial Venerable was forcing him, and his arrogant attitude was quite hateful.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable remained silent, but his expression clearly conveyed affirmation.
"Fine, I can grant your wish to have a beloved disciple." Chang Hao slashed at Yuanshi Tianzun with his sword.
This will be a good opportunity to show him how powerful the Primordial Celestial Venerable is after his three corpses have been combined.
Upon seeing this person move and blood seep from his body, Yuanshi Tianzun's pupils contracted. "Stop! You're injured."
Chang Hao did indeed have the wounds left by Jieyin and Zhunti. He was injured even more severely when he fought Tongtian before, but he didn't take it seriously then. Now, he felt even less of a concern.
Primordial Celestial Venerable prioritizes defense. He only takes real action to keep Chang Hao from leaving after he swings his sword, saying, "You are no match for me, and I do not wish to harm you."
Although Chang Hao did feel that the outcome of the two was evenly matched after he made his move, he did not want to show weakness after Yuanshi Tianzun said that.
The sword intent of 'a glimmer of hope' was most suitable for this moment. Chang Hao held nothing back in every move. His sword strikes were like the Milky Way turning upside down, the sun and moon tilting, and the colors of heaven and earth changing. He was aiming to imprison Yuanshi Tianzun as well.
Seeing the bloodstains spreading across Chang Hao's body, Yuanshi Tianzun blocked another sword strike, 'A Glimmer of Hope,' and then turned to leave for the time being.
They had no choice but to leave. Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't bear to see this person covered in blood. He wanted to help heal him, but he couldn't speak up because of their positions.
Chang Hao sheathed his sword, stood there for a while, and then left?
Chang Hao tentatively continued towards Chaoge. During his absence, Bai She claimed to be ill, but there was a backlog of official business to attend to. He needed to go back and clear things up before sneaking back to Lintong Pass to close the net.
Suddenly, Chang Hao sensed someone following him. He pretended not to know, thinking, "Since Yuanshi Tianzun likes to follow, then so be it."
The palace has its own place where Yuanshi Tianzun (the Primordial Celestial Venerable) stayed. Revisiting this place might just trigger Yuanshi Tianzun's memories.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable secretly followed behind. Seeing this person traveling with injuries, he was extremely anxious. He clutched the holy medicine for healing that he had found, but could not give it away. He could only wait for a good opportunity.

"My son," the Empress Dowager glanced at Di Xin, who was leaning against the bed, "I couldn't sleep at night after hearing about your assassination attempt. Now that I see you are all well, I am relieved."
Chang Hao (White Snake) glanced cautiously at Quan Chang, and seeing that Quan Chang was looking down and indifferent, he had no choice but to follow the script Quan Chang had given him and put on his acting skills: "I am fine, thank you for your concern, Mother. Mother has had a long journey. If there is nothing important, you do not need to stay in Qiankun Palace for long. Go back to Wanshou Palace to rest."
"You are my son. No matter how tired I am, I must come back. Otherwise, I will be uneasy." The Empress Dowager's words were not untrue. This was the key to her wealth and honor for the rest of her life.
Chang Hao (White Snake) immediately replied, "Now that you have seen it, Mother, please go back and rest. If you fall ill from exhaustion, it would be my fault for being unfilial."
"Since you say so, my son, I dare not put you in a difficult position, Bai Su..."
A graceful and charming beauty slowly bowed with lotus-like steps: "This servant, Bai Su, greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be well."
"rise……"
"Does the prince like her?" The Empress Dowager's eyes held a hint of flattery. This was a palace maid she had discovered by chance in the imperial palace, and she was immediately captivated by her beauty. Upon returning to the palace this time, she immediately brought her back.
"This..." Chang Hao (White Snake) felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and hesitated to speak. Quan Chang hadn't told him this beforehand, so what should he say?
"My son, there's no need to be so polite with your mother. I know you like her. I'll make the decision to bestow a title of concubine upon her. If the future queen knows it's my idea, she won't make things difficult for you." Upon seeing Chang Hao's (White Snake's) expression, the Empress Dowager immediately misunderstood it as him playing hard to get. Men are all like that.
"Then thank you very much, Mother." Chang Hao (White Snake) directly chose the easiest option, since it was a demon, not a human.
Quan Chang's expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed sympathy. He wondered how furious the king would be when he returned.
"Quan Chang, arrange a palace for Consort Bai that is closer to Qiankun Palace," the Empress Dowager said, thinking that the prince had no experience in this matter, so she simply ordered Quan Chang to do it.
“Yes…” Quan Chang gave Quan Sheng a wink, signaling Quan Sheng to help out more.
This woman is so alluring and seductive; she's clearly not an ordinary person.
"I won't disturb your rest." The Empress Dowager was relieved. Since her son had accepted her gift, there was no grudge between mother and son overnight. He must have already forgiven her.
"Get up and quickly practice how His Majesty walks again." Quan Chang was furious when he returned. Today, the Taoist priest Yun Zhongzi passed by Chaoge and said that the Chaoge royal palace was filled with demonic energy. He presented a giant pine sword.
They had only walked a few steps to the throne when, had it not been for Quan Chang and Quan Sheng's quick thinking and their prompting to step forward and help him up, explaining that His Majesty had been assassinated and was still unwell, his steps unsteady, they would have already escaped the notice of Prince Bi Gan.
And just now, fearing that the Empress Dowager would find out, he didn't even dare to walk. If people knew that the King hadn't inquired about the Empress Dowager's well-being, that would be a huge problem.
Chang Hao (White Snake) was filled with despair and complained to Yuan Hong beside him, "Learning alchemy can help me make my own life-saving elixirs, learning formations can help me fight, and learning weapon crafting can help me create spiritual treasures, but why am I learning to walk like the Great King?"
"There are so many tricks to walking." Chang Hao (the White Snake) stared blankly. "Your Majesty, please come back soon. This is no life for a snake."
