Chapter 459 A Makeover
"Thank you, Master." The saints breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they had passed this test with their master.
Lao Tzu, in particular, was in a difficult situation where he could neither truly take action nor refrain from doing so. It was far more difficult than Tongtian being confused and knowing nothing, thus finding peace and freedom.
Yuan Shi glanced at Chang Hao discreetly; it was truly unexpected that his master would so casually overlook him.
The surprise came so suddenly, does this mean Master... has tacitly agreed?
Chang Hao winked at Yuan Shi. How could he let Yuan Shi face Hong Jun's accusations on his own? A responsible man would naturally handle things clearly before any conflict arises.
"Hmph," the two exchanged glances, and Hongjun wasn't blind.
Hongjun deeply regretted it; three conditions were far from enough. He should have asked for a hundred or eighty conditions instead.
Fine, Chang Hao is considerate of him, so he should consider Chang Hao's feelings too.
"You scared me to death, you know that?" Tongtian immediately pounced on him after getting up, giving him a bear hug.
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other blankly, wondering what was going on. Di Xin and Tongtian were fighting to the death just now, how come they are now being all lovey-dovey? Have they been set up?
Tongtian, with nothing to hide, was at ease, while Yuanshi, with something to hide, was envious and jealous. He also wanted to give Chang Hao a hug at this moment, but unfortunately, under his master's watchful eye, going against the grain would be tantamount to provoking his master and would render Chang Hao's efforts futile.
As soon as his master's attitude softened, Yuanshi dared not waver in the slightest. He had a premonition that sneaking around would become his norm in the future, but Yuanshi was happy to accept it.
"Really?" Chang Hao raised an eyebrow, not quite believing it. "But you were crying and shouting, you were calling for the Jie Sect, not me."
"I wasn't trying to put some pressure on you or make you feel guilty. Maybe with a little stimulation, you'll come back to life." Tongtian spoke with conviction. There are many people who have turned adversity into opportunity and survived by bursting forth at crucial moments. He believed in Chang Hao. As long as Chang Hao's belief remained, he would definitely turn defeat into victory.
Tongtian has his own thought process. Among those present, his second brother is the one who cares about people's feelings. Pressure and guilt are the best magic weapons that he can accurately apply to Chang Hao, making it impossible for Chang Hao to feel relaxed and dissipate.
Chang Hao secretly rolled his eyes. He was seeking enlightenment, not going on a quest for revenge.
"Chang Hao, my Jie Sect!!!" Tongtian thought of his pitiful Jie Sect's fortune that had been severed by Chang Hao's sword. "I don't care, you cut off the Jie Sect's fortune, so you have to be responsible for restoring it."
Tongtian silently shed a tear of sympathy for himself. A saint who has lost his luck will be unlucky wherever he goes, and he will never be able to have a day of peace again.
His carefree and unrestrained life would now only be a memory in his dreams.
As for his apprentice, Tongtian shrugged, "He's too busy taking care of himself right now."
Originally, he intended to select his more capable disciples to be included in the Investiture of the Gods. Although there was a slight mishap, it didn't matter. They should just obediently go and make a living under Chang Hao. It didn't matter what form they took to be on the list. As long as they were diligent and honest, Chang Hao wouldn't treat them unfairly.
“This calamity has come from heaven without any way out. You have done this yourself and you should suffer the consequences,” Chang Hao tore the Tongtian sword that was stuck to him. “Stand still and listen. If you don’t have any crooked thoughts, this disaster has nothing to do with you.”
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me... forgive me... forgive me..." Tongtian persisted and pestered him again, "Please help me think of a way, please think of something..." He had no other choice but to resort to his twisted pestering technique. Fortunately, Tongtian had a youthful mindset and maintained his youthful appearance, so his twisted pestering did not seem outrageous.
"Let him go first. This matter needs to be discussed carefully." Chang Hao looked at Tongtian's body covered in wounds and felt a little soft-hearted. Although Tongtian had brought this upon himself and did not deserve his sympathy, he had indeed suffered a lot this time.
"Let's plan this over a longer period?" Tongtian's eyes lit up. "I knew it. You're the best to me." Unlike his two heartless brothers, who completely ignored his plight.
Hongjun stared at Tongtian with an extremely threatening gaze. He couldn't bear to look at him. Even Yuanshi was behaving properly. Only you were so capable, taking advantage of Chang Hao's feelings to do whatever you wanted.
Tongtian's success reminded Hongjun of the incident on the small mountain outside Chaoge City, where Tongtian forcefully made Chang Hao become his disciple. Chang Hao was soft-hearted, but Hongjun was as hard as iron. He had never made Chang Hao kneel even once in his entire life, but Tongtian was something else.
Yuanshi glared fiercely at Tongtian. If Hongjun hadn't been there, Yuanshi would have already taken out the Pangu Banner.
He hadn't forgotten that Tongtian had some unreliable ideas. He had tried to cause trouble while Chang Hao was undergoing his tribulation, but he was careless and fell into his master's trap, resulting in a complete defeat.
Tongtian felt a chill run down his spine. When he turned around, he saw that the combined coldness from his master and second brother was like the oppressive force of Mount Buzhou, making it almost unbearable for him.
Laozi pulled Tongtian to his side. Yuanshi is petty, and with his second brother as a precedent, Master definitely doesn't want another 'Yuanshi' to appear. Tongtian, you'd better stay obediently by his side.
Laozi glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti without leaving a trace. Although his third brother was unreliable, he was right about one thing: the Jie Sect had indeed lost its fortune.
The fortune of the Jie Sect has a far-reaching influence and is closely related to all its disciples. Tongtian himself is already a saint, so even if he is abandoned by the fortune, he is just unlucky.
However, Duobao and the others were not going to let it go so easily. If they were abandoned by the heavens and their cultivation was to stop, they would eventually die and their cultivation would be destroyed unless they started anew. For the sake of the remaining disciples of the Jie Sect, this problem really had to be solved.
“Tongtian…” Hongjun suddenly spoke.
"Master," Tongtian bowed respectfully, "what brings you to me?"
"Come with me to Zixiao Palace later." Hongjun knew that Tongtian was naturally restless, like the wind, and hated staying in one place for too long.
However, as the master, he ordered his disciple to calmly cultivate Zen. How could the disciple dare to disobey his master's orders?
"Yes, Master." Tongtian readily agreed, unaware of the impending disaster.
Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, then looked at Tongtian with sympathy and sighed inwardly. Well, Tongtian really deserved to be taught a lesson. If he hadn't acted recklessly, the Jie Sect would never have been wiped out.
And then his two older brothers had to clean up the mess again.
Laozi shifted his gaze to the two Western sages and subtly gave Yuanshi a wink.
Yuanshi glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti without leaving a trace, then looked at his elder brother and nodded slightly. It was them. There was no sect more suitable for the transformation of the Jie Sect than them.
The Buddha is the Tao. Jieyin and Zhunti have great religious titles, but they lack the most important scriptures to support their doctrines. The Jie sect has them, so they can modify them and deceive everyone.
Laozi nodded. This plan is feasible. I'll leave it to you, brother.
As for asking Chang Hao to do it, I crossed that out without even thinking about it. Forget it, the plan is feasible, but it's too underhanded.
