Chapter 193 Stop
He just needed 'a little' time to dissuade Di Jun from his idea.
Having made his decision, Chang Hao decided not to let go of Zhen Yuanzi, who had offered himself up as a laborer. He turned and headed towards the main hall.
As soon as Chang Hao appeared, Yuanshi immediately stood up to greet him, picking up a plum blossom that had inadvertently fallen on Chang Hao's hair ornament with two fingers, and asked with an ambiguous meaning, "What have you been busy with?"
Yuan Shi remembered that Chang Hao was wearing this same Taoist robe yesterday. He was in a hurry and didn't even have time to tidy his appearance. This was rare for Chang Hao. Usually, no matter how busy he was, Chang Hao was meticulous and his appearance was always perfectly in order.
Chang Hao glared at him secretly. There were outsiders around; couldn't he be more careful?
Zhen Yuanzi's expression shifted slightly, and he rose to greet him. Fellow Daoist Chang Hao and Fellow Daoist Yuanshi were no ordinary acquaintances; their close and natural relationship suggested they were true confidants.
"What have you been busy with?" Tongtian asked sarcastically, secretly feeling sorry for Chang Hao. He used to control him in every way, but now that Chang Hao had become a saint, his second brother had finally relaxed his control over him.
Now look what's happened! They've started controlling Chang Hao, and now they're questioning his whereabouts right in front of him. They're clearly too familiar with him; his old habits have kicked in again. I hope Chang Hao can become a saint soon and escape this sea of suffering.
"I traveled to several major human tribes overnight," Chang Hao explained succinctly, then quickly sat down at the head of the table. "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, please sit down. May I ask what brings you to my Lishan?"
Zhen Yuanzi watched as Fellow Daoist Yuanshi naturally sat down next to Fellow Daoist Changhao. His eyes flickered slightly. Fellow Daoist Changhao indeed had a close relationship with the Three Pure Ones.
It seems that if we cannot gain Fellow Daoist Chang Hao's understanding, it will be difficult to collect the Red Cloud Primordial Spirit attached to the Primordial Purple Qi.
“Fellow Daoist Chang Hao, I had no choice but to attack you in the Blood Sea. I have come here to apologize. This is one reason.” Since Chang Hao asked so directly, Zhen Yuanzi answered frankly.
Chang Hao raised an eyebrow, waiting for Zhen Yuanzi to continue; if there was one, there would be another.
Sure enough, Zhen Yuanzi continued, "I wonder how Fellow Daoist Chang Hao can forgive my mistake? Just tell me, and I will help you achieve it, no matter how difficult it may be."
"Secondly," Zhen Yuanzi looked up at Yuanshi, "as far as I know, after Hongyun self-destructed, the Primordial Purple Qi also scattered into countless forms. I heard that Fellow Daoist Yuanshi happened to pass by and collected a portion of the Primordial Purple Qi. I wonder if Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi would be willing to allow me to collect Hongyun's primordial spirit from it?"
"Fellow Daoist, you've asked the wrong person. There is no Red Cloud Primordial Spirit on the Primordial Purple Qi." Yuanshi's expression was gloomy. How could there be any Red Cloud Primordial Spirit on the Primordial Purple Qi? It had long been dealt with and was probably transformed into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
How could he possibly give Chang Hao a gift containing someone else's primordial spirit, especially since that "someone else" was his love rival?
Previously, Yuanshi, who had never understood the matter, naturally couldn't comprehend why Changhao had so severely punished Hongyun, and felt frustrated by the words Hongyun uttered.
But now, if Hongyun were in front of him, Yuanshi would guarantee that Hongyun would die faster than anyone else. He dared to let Changhao lie on the cloud bed that his true form had transformed into, and Changhao never even had the chance to hold his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
Zhen Yuanzi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yuanshi had...
Chang Hao, using his wide sleeves to conceal his intentions, secretly tugged at Yuan Shi, "Shut up, okay? Don't ruin my plans. Look at Zhen Yuanzi's pale face. I don't want to turn a favor into an enemy."
“Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, don’t listen to Yuanshi’s nonsense. He doesn’t need the Primordial Purple Qi. It’s already in my hands.” Chang Hao took the blame.
Zhen Yuanzi's expression returned to normal. "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chang Hao would be willing to do me a favor? This humble Daoist is willing to offer a Primordial Spiritual Treasure as a reward."
"Let's leave this matter aside for now," Chang Hao said, having no time to bring up the matter of Hongyun's revival. "Just now, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi said he was coming to apologize, so let's settle this matter first."
Zhen Yuanzi thought about it and agreed. "Fellow Daoist Chang Hao, please speak. Even if you want the Bodhi Tree branch, I will risk my life to get it for you." He had to show his sincerity in order to continue the transaction with Fellow Daoist Chang Hao.
Chang Hao twitched his lips. What did he want with the branches of Zhunti's main body? He could tell that Zhen Yuanzi was very resentful towards Zhunti Jieyin.
“Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you flatter me,” Chang Hao smiled. “There is no need for Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi to make such a great sacrifice. I just need Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi to do me a small favor.”
"What help do you need from him? You have me, that's enough," Yuanshi transmitted his voice, he had no intention of letting Hongyun rebuild his cultivation.
"It's a matter concerning the demon race." Chang Hao didn't even look up.
Yuan Shi fell silent. He had promised Chang Hao he wouldn't interfere, and he couldn't break his promise.
"Please speak freely, Fellow Daoist Chang Hao." Zhen Yuanzi secretly made up his mind that he would help no matter what the matter was.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, please look..." Chang Hao waved his hand, and a teleportation array appeared in the center of the hall.
It was the main formation set up in Lishan that Chang Hao always carried with him.
Chang Hao waved his hand again, and several water mirrors appeared, displaying the various human tribes in real time.
"I need Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi..." Just as he was about to continue explaining, Chang Hao's expression suddenly changed drastically, and in the next instant, he arrived at the Buzhou Mountain human tribe through the teleportation array in the main hall.
"Taiyi, stop..." Chang Hao appeared in the clouds and reached out to grasp the Eastern Emperor Bell.
The Eastern Emperor Bell, which had just displayed its divine power and was about to break through the defenses of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, was now obediently held in Chang Hao's hand.
"Chang Hao, it really is you, it really is you!" Taiyi exclaimed in disbelief.
Fuxi's expression changed slightly. He remembered what Nuwa had said in front of Buzhou Mountain: no unfamiliar powerful beings would pass by. But if the powerful being who passed by was Chang Hao, then it would be perfectly reasonable for Nuwa to cover for Chang Hao.
"Why you? Why did you do this?" He had seen this black lotus twice before. When Kunpeng reported it, Taiyi thought it was someone impersonating him to frame Chang Hao.
However, it's impossible for Taiyi to mistake Chang Hao.
"Taiyi, that was a misunderstanding." Chang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the good things he had done with the Black Lotus of Annihilation. It had been so long that he had forgotten that he had almost killed Di Jun.
"Misunderstanding? Let's just treat it as a misunderstanding. Tell me, I'm listening." Taiyi thought about their past and quietly waited for Chang Hao's explanation.
Chang Hao opened his mouth, but it was like swallowing a bitter pill; he had no way to express his suffering. "We'll talk about this later. But Taiyi, listen to me. The Slaughtering Witch Sword is just a conspiracy, its purpose is only to ruin the fortune of the demon race. The demon race should not commit unnecessary killings."
"Later? Fine, but right now you're stopping the demon race from refining the Witch-Slaying Sword. Do you have a way to break the Witch Race's Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation without sacrificing the lives of the demon race?" Taiyi couldn't bear to do it, so he had to send Kunpeng instead.
To his surprise, Kunpeng returned defeated, and the news he brought made him change color. He simply couldn't accept that Chang Hao wanted to kill Di Jun.
So Taiyi couldn't sit still any longer and rushed to Buzhou Mountain. When he saw the black lotus, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
But with Chang Hao's arrival, Taiyi's anxiety finally died.
