"What? You're saying Huang Tianhua abandoned you and ran away with Shi Zhan?"
The Boundless Immortal looked at the crowd in front of him with astonishment and disbelief.
"Moreover, he even broke the Nine Star Soul Binding Curse on Shi Zhan halfway through, only to be killed by Shi Zhan in the end?"
The more he listened, the uglier the immortal's face became, and his lips trembled slightly.
The next moment, the Boundless Immortal suddenly looked up and stared intently at Ju Liusun beside him:
"Ju Liusun, Shi Zhan and Shi Wu are imprisoned in the Fiery Prison under your jurisdiction, right? Tell me, why are they here?"
"this…"
Ju Liusun broke out in a cold sweat. He had sent Shi Zhan and Shi Wu to increase the chances of killing Shen Gongbao, but he never expected that not only would Shen Gongbao not die, but Shi Zhan would also betray him.
Ju Liusun stammered:
"Senior Brother, I was just worried that Yunwu and the others wouldn't be able to defeat Shen Gongbao, so I had them bring Shi Zhan and Shi Wu along."
At this moment, the Pure Void Moral True Lord also pleaded for Ju Liusun:
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Ju Liusun didn't do it on purpose. After all, none of us expected Shi Zhan and Shi Wu to suddenly betray us."
Upon hearing this, the icy aura on the face of the Boundless Immortal solidified even further:
"You still have the nerve to plead for him? How have you taught your disciples? Abandoning fellow disciples, running away alone, and arbitrarily removing the Nine Star Soul Binding Curse from criminals of the sect—which of these is strictly forbidden within the sect? But look at your disciple, what has he done?"
The Pure Void Moral True Lord paused for a moment.
A rare silence fell over the scene.
After a long while, Julusun finally spoke slowly, his voice low and revealing a hint of helplessness and determination:
"But Senior Brother, Yunwu was indeed killed by Shen Gongbao, you can't deny that, can you?"
Wuliang Immortal felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He looked at Julusun and Qingxu Moral True Lord with disbelief, a surge of anger and disappointment rising within him.
"First, you took it upon yourself to mobilize criminals from your sect and sent disciples to assassinate Shen Gongbao without permission, resulting in two disciples of the Jie Sect being seriously injured and on the verge of death. Now, instead of thinking about how to explain this to your master and Uncle Tongtian, you're still agonizing over whether Shen Gongbao killed Yun Wu. Where are your brains?"
The voice of the Boundless Immortal grew louder and louder until it was almost a roar.
His words struck Ju Liusun and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun like a heavy hammer blow.
Their faces turned deathly pale instantly, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
"Senior Brother, what are we going to do? You must save us!"
The Boundless Immortal Elder sneered:
"Now you're begging me? Where were you before? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"You all think that if more people are listed on the Investiture of the Gods, your chances of being listed on the Investiture of the Gods will decrease. But have you ever considered the actual situation? Right now, Jiang Ziya's Investiture of the Gods list can't even accommodate everyone."
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
At this moment, Ju Liusun and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun were utterly shocked.
"Didn't Junior Brother Jiang Ziya already go down the mountain a long time ago? Why can't the Investiture of the Gods be used now?"
"Where is Senior Brother Guang Chengzi? Wasn't he accompanying Junior Brother Jiang Ziya down the mountain? How could he allow this to happen?"
At this moment, Ju Liusun and his companion could not help but be shocked. The fact that the Investiture of the Gods failed to summon the spirits of heaven and earth meant that even if someone died during this period, it would be impossible for them to be included on the Investiture of the Gods.
In other words, everything they had done not only offended the members of the Jie Sect for no reason, but also failed to achieve any practical results. They had truly lost both their wife and their army.
Seeing the panicked expressions on Ju Liusun and his companion's faces, this time it was the Immortal Wuliang who remained calm:
“You all know about how Jiang Ziya was kicked out by Ji Chang before. Although Jiang Ziya returned to Xiqi after Guang Chengzi intervened, he cannot enfeoff the gods on behalf of Zhou as long as he does not gain Ji Chang’s trust.”
"But that's not right either."
A hint of doubt appeared on Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's face:
“We saw Shen Gongbao write his name on the Investiture of the Gods with our own eyes in the Jade Void Palace. If he could do it, why can’t others?”
The Boundless Immortal Elder wore an expression that said, "I knew you'd ask that."
"That's because he was the one destined to be a god, but the others weren't."
"Before the Investiture of the Gods, the three religions jointly discussed the Investiture of the Gods list. The Daoist Master once said that the leaders of the three religions would jointly write the Investiture of the Gods list, but the leaders of the three religions could not bear to personally send their disciples onto the list. That is why we have the current Investiture of the Gods war where the destiny of heaven determines the gods. The destiny of heaven has not yet appeared, so there is no name on the list. But Shen Gongbao, who is destined to be an Investiture of the Gods, is the only exception. Now you know why Shen Gongbao can be included in the Investiture of the Gods list, but others cannot, right?"
The face of the Pure Void Moral True Lord turned pale instantly:
"Junior Brother Jiang Ziya has misled me!"
The Boundless Immortal Elder smiled coldly:
"Junior Brother Jiang Ziya has misled you? Do you know that even if Junior Brother Jiang Ziya is out of trouble right now, with what you've done today, you can forget about getting through this Investiture of the Gods tribulation unscathed? Do you think you can just persecute the disciples of the Jie Sect at will?"
"Senior Brother, when did this become a problem?"
The True Lord of Pure Emptiness and Morality still showed dissatisfaction on his face:
"This great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods should befall our Eastern Xuanmen. In the entire Eastern Xuanmen, apart from our Chan Sect, the only ones qualified to enter the Investiture of the Gods are the members of the Jie Sect. If we don't include them, are we supposed to include all of us fellow disciples?"
The Boundless Immortal looked at the Pure Void Moral True Lord with a disappointed expression, and sighed deeply:
"Even if you want to put people from the Jie Sect on the list, couldn't you have investigated their identities beforehand? Shi Ji is alright, but who is Qiong Xiao? She is the younger sister of Yun Xiao from the Three Immortal Islands, the adopted sister of Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, and one of the most favored disciples of the Tongtian Sect Leader. If she dies here today, do you think they won't try every means to kill you?"
With each name announced by the Boundless Immortal, the Pure Void Moral True Lord couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. By the time the Boundless Immortal had finished reciting all the names, the Pure Void Moral True Lord's face had turned completely pale.
"Senior Brother, all of this was done by my wicked disciple Huang Tianhua. I really didn't know he would be so bold. If I had known he would dare to attack Qiongxiao, I would never have let him leave Yuxu Palace. You must help me!"
At this moment, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was truly terrified. The thought of being constantly hunted down by Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and even Tongtian Jiaozhu made him feel like he was going crazy.
The Boundless Immortal hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly:
"Shi Ji's lifespan has ended, and it was that evil cultivator Shi Zhan who injured her, which has nothing to do with our Chan Sect. We don't need to worry about it. Our most important thing now is to protect Qiong Xiao's life. As long as Qiong Xiao's life is safe, there is still room for maneuver."
