"Qingxu, stop!"
With a furious shout, the Longevity Dragon Staff in the hands of the Boundless Immortal Elder suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, instantly transforming into a huge wooden dragon that swept across the space between the Pure Void Moral True Lord and Wen Zhong like a bolt of lightning.
The wooden dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, possessed an imposing aura and forcefully blocked both sides' attacks simultaneously.
Upon seeing this, the True Lord of Pure Void Morality's expression changed slightly. He looked closely and realized that the wooden dragon before him was actually transformed from his senior brother, the Immortal Elder Wuliang's Longevity Dragon Staff. A surge of dissatisfaction immediately welled up within him.
"Senior Brother, why are you stopping me?"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than King Zhou's voice reached his ears.
Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly turned his head to look.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal, which was blocked in front of Wen Zhong by the giant wooden dragon, was emitting a powerful aura, and around it, even more powerful auras were emerging.
The displeasure on Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's face instantly turned into fear.
"Senior Brother, these people are up to no good. What should we do?"
Ignoring the Pure Void Moral True Lord who quickly hid behind him, the Boundless Immortal's expression hardened, and he solemnly looked at the crowd that had appeared beside Wen Zhong:
"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of your large-scale mobilization here?"
King Zhou of Shang immediately burst into laughter:
"Immeasurable Immortal Elder, Immeasurable Immortal Elder, you members of the Chan Sect attacked my Yin Shang National Preceptor in public in Chaoge, and now you still have the nerve to question our intentions? I would like to ask you, what exactly are your intentions?"
The Immortal Wuliang paused in his speech.
However, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, who had just hidden behind him, immediately poked his head out when he saw that King Zhou and the others did not attack directly:
"What do you mean we attacked your Yin Shang National Preceptor? It was Wen Zhong who attacked my junior brother Jiang Ziya first. This time, my junior brother Jiang Ziya descended to the mortal realm with my master's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Wen Zhong still dared to attack my junior brother Jiang Ziya even after seeing the sacred treasure. I would like to ask, do you people of Yin Shang still have even a shred of respect for the sage?"
Upon hearing this, everyone noticed the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in Jiang Ziya's hand.
"This Jiang Ziya is actually a sage in person!"
"I wonder what kind of imperial decree the Primordial Sage sent Jiang Ziya with!"
At this moment, even King Zhou of Shang, the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, couldn't help but become solemn.
That is the value of a saint.
Even without his personal intervention, the sense of oppression he exudes is unparalleled.
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's face was full of pride.
What good is your high level of cultivation?
As long as you haven't reached the Saint realm, what ability do you have to point fingers at him, a disciple of a Saint?
Turning his gaze to Jiang Ziya beside him, the corners of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's mouth curled up slightly:
"Jiang Ziya, this time you brought Master's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to Chaoge. With the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in hand, you are as if a saint has come in person. What did Master tell you? Now tell us the truth. With us senior brothers here, I want to see who dares not to give you face."
The words of the Pure Void Moral True Lord revealed his arrogance to the fullest extent. If Jiang Ziya hadn't seen the Pure Void Moral True Lord hide behind the Boundless Immortal Elder the moment King Zhou of Shang and his entourage appeared, he might have actually believed that the Pure Void Moral True Lord didn't take the cultivators present seriously at all.
However, it doesn't matter if Qingxu Moral True Lord is unreliable, as long as Senior Brother is reliable.
He came to Chaoge this time with the imperial edict of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, which concerned the Investiture of the Gods, which he was in charge of. No matter what, he could not let Shen Gongbao escape.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya first bowed to the three immortals, then turned his gaze to Wen Zhong again, his expression solemn:
"Wen Zhong, I am here to find Shen Gongbao on the orders of the Primordial Sage. You'd better think carefully. Do you want to disregard the Sage's orders for the sake of Shen Gongbao?"
Wen Zhong sneered:
"Jiang Ziya, can't you understand human language? How many times have I told you, Uncle Shen Gongbao has already left Chaoge. If you don't believe me, go find him yourself. If you want to accuse me of disregarding the Emperor's decree, then please produce evidence first."
I knew you'd deny it to the death.
Jiang Ziya sneered and turned to look at the three people beside him, including Qingxu Daode Zhenjun:
“My three senior brothers, the reason I came to Chaoge this time on Master’s orders is because Shen Gongbao once again stole my Investiture of the Gods list without warning, causing the Investiture of the Gods calamity to be hindered again. Master also told me personally that Shen Gongbao’s whereabouts are. There is absolutely no way that Shen Gongbao is not in Wen Zhong’s Grand Tutor’s mansion.”
After speaking with great confidence, Jiang Ziya saw only a complicated look in the eyes of the Pure Void Moral True Lord.
Just as Jiang Ziya was about to speak again, Ju Liusun's faint voice came:
"Junior Brother Jiang, when did Master tell you that Shen Gongbao was in Wen Zhong's Grand Tutor's mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya's heart skipped a beat.
Yuanshi Tianzun gave him the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi three days ago. Could it be that Shen Gongbao really left Chaoge in these three days?
Now Jiang Ziya was even more anxious:
"My three senior brothers, my Investiture of the Gods is still in Shen Gongbao's hands. If he has now confirmed that he has left Chaoge, it must be to hide the Investiture of the Gods so that the Investiture of the Gods War can not continue, as a way to take revenge on my Chan Sect. What should we do in this situation?"
The three immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya panicked even more:
"Three senior brothers, could it be that Shen Gongbao really absconded with the Investiture of the Gods? What will happen to my Investiture of the Gods then?"
"Haha, what a clever scheme to abscond with the Investiture of the Gods!"
Wen Zhong laughed loudly.
He was internally complaining non-stop.
Normally I don't laugh unless I really can't help it.
"Wen Zhong, what's so funny? Even if Shen Gongbao escaped, you must know where he went. If your concealment leads to the loss of the Investiture of the Gods, do you think you can escape the punishment of the Sage?"
The Investiture of the Gods is lost?
Upon hearing this, King Zhou and his companions, who knew the inside story, all joined in the commotion:
"Wen Zhong, if you know where the Investiture of the Gods went, you must tell us. If you ruin the Sage's important plans, you will suffer the consequences."
"Absolutely, absolutely! Our Yin Shang dynasty, a mere human dynasty, cannot afford to offend a sage sect like the Chan Sect. Grand Tutor Wen, if you know the whereabouts of the Investiture of the Gods, you must tell this Fellow Daoist Jiang!"
What exactly happened?
Why are these people helping me persuade Wen Zhong instead? That shouldn't be happening.
The moment this thought arose, the voice of the Boundless Immortal Elder reached Jiang Ziya's ears.
Jiang Ziya was immediately dumbfounded:
"How could Shen Gongbao bear to hand over the Investiture of the Gods again? What kind of conspiracy is he plotting?"
"He actually bestowed upon Shiji the title of Qingfu Zhengshen. From now on, all those who are listed during the Investiture of the Gods will be personally guided by Qingfu Zhengshen, and all bestowals will be suspended. In that case, what use is I, the one destined to be the one to bestow the title of God?"
"Shen Gongbao, you've really gone too far!"
