Chapter 117 You open the Lian Tian Shui Mirror, and I open the Merit Golden Lotus

"Junior Brother Ji said it well."

As soon as Cao Ziming appeared, he heard Ji Changsheng's heroic voice and felt like he had found a close friend.

"Donating three feet of noble spirit and washing the blue blood, this is what we monks pursue. Conspiracy is ultimately a minor path, and carrying out grand and open conspiracy is in line with our original intention."

Ying Hongye's face was dark, and he said helplessly: "Brother Cao, Changsheng is just playing it cool, don't take it seriously. Changsheng, you too, just fool yourself, don't fool your brothers. You dare to say it, and Brother Cao really dares to believe it. Don't you know that it is immoral to fool a fool?"

She could tell who Ji Changsheng was, but she was sure that Senior Brother Cao couldn't tell at all.

Although Senior Brother Cao has indeed made progress.

But Ying Hongye also understood that Senior Brother Cao's only improvement was in his methods, but there was no essential change.

At most, he changed from being Du Zongsheng's bootlicker to being Ji Changsheng's bootlicker.

He is still the same young boy.

Ji Changsheng waved his hand: "Hongye, this time it is Senior Brother Cao who understands me better."

Senior Brother Cao said proudly: "Of course, men understand men better. Hongye, you are still prejudiced against Junior Brother Ji. Although Junior Brother Ji has used many conspiracies and tricks, his ultimate goal is to be aboveboard."

Ji Changsheng nodded in agreement.

This is probably the resonance between men.

Ying Hongye has too narrow a vision and doesn’t understand him.

It’s hard to describe Ying Hongye in words.

She just sees too clearly and understands too much.

I really envy Senior Brother Cao. He believes whatever Changsheng says.

"So Changsheng, have you thought about how to deal with the aftermath?" Ying Hongye asked worriedly.

Although she complained, Ying Hongye was serious about her concern for Ji Changsheng.

A scumbag is a scumbag, but there are many good girls who like them seriously.

This is not a conflict.

Ji Changsheng nodded: "I've thought about it. Let Chao Yuntian open all the 'Liantian Water Mirrors' in the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce's inventory. They open theirs, and we open ours. Brother Cao, has your righteousness improved recently?"

"Of course." Cao Ziming nodded confidently.

The improvement is not just a little bit.

Cao Ziming added: "Ever since I started learning from Junior Brother Ji, my righteousness has been growing stronger every day. I even feel like I have reached the Nascent Soul stage."

The speed of this progress is really scary.

His teacher predicted that he would be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage within ten years.

But Cao Ziming felt that as long as he stayed with Junior Brother Ji, it wouldn’t take even a year, let alone ten years.

If he can advance to the Nascent Soul stage within ten years, he will be an outstanding disciple among the major sects.

But if he can advance to the Nascent Soul stage within a year, he will be second only to monstrous people like Du Zongsheng and Su Qiong.

There is even hope of competing for the position of successor to Danqing Pavilion.

Originally, Cao Ziming couldn't reach this level.

So his gratitude to Ji Changsheng came from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Changsheng nodded and said, "Brother Cao, please release your righteousness in the whole process. Hongye, you should be able to sense the energy of merit now, right?"

Ying Hongye understood what Ji Changsheng meant, and opened her red lips slightly: "Are you using moral kidnapping to defeat moral kidnapping?"

Chao Yuntian activated the "Liantian Water Mirror" in order to make Ji Changsheng cautious and respect the obvious rules and morals.

Ji Changsheng directly released the energy of merit and righteousness, using magic to defeat magic.

After all, the spirit of merit and righteousness are hard currency recognized by the whole world.

If I kill you, my merits will grow, and my righteousness will increase. Even if it goes against the rules, it is recognized by the heavens.

What do you say? Are your rules correct, or are the laws of nature correct?

Ying Hongye felt that although Changsheng was a bad person, he was actually quite smart.

What a pity! If our ancestor had someone like Changsheng by his side, he wouldn't have to confront others head-on every time. Now he has ended up with both praise and criticism.

Ji Changsheng corrected Ying Hongye's understanding: "I am not using moral kidnapping to defeat moral kidnapping. I am just explaining to the people of Shengguo how the spirit of merit and righteousness grows."

Ying Hongye understood the word "popular science" again and said with deep emotion: "Changsheng, you are such a bad person."

Cao Ziming blinked and gave Junior Brother Ji an assist: "Do you like Hongye?"

Ying Hongye laughed: "I would rather not look for a man for the rest of my life and jump off the city wall, but I will never like a bad man."

Cao Ziming spread his hands to Ji Changsheng: "Junior Brother Ji, I tried my best."

Ji Changsheng patted Senior Brother Cao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother Cao, it's settled now. But Hongye, I still want to emphasize to you again that the legal wife belongs to my senior sister, and you can only be a concubine."

Ying Hongye kicked Ji Changsheng on the butt.

Senior Brother Cao wanted to cry: "Hongye, why did you kick me?"

Ji Changsheng smiled and let go of his hand that was pinching the seal, and said with emotion: "Yaoguang Luohuan, the best in the world, Senior Sister is not lying to me."

Ying Hongye: “…”

So angry.

I really want to hit someone.

But for the safety of Senior Brother Cao, she could only control herself.

Then he vented his anger on Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.

"Junior Brother Ji, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has gathered everyone together. Can we hold out?" Cao Ziming asked, "Tongtian Chamber of Commerce doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of spirit stones. It can still gather a lot of Jindan loose cultivators."

He had gone to interrogate Du Zongsheng before, so Cao Ziming didn't know what happened later at the palace banquet. Naturally, he didn't know that one of his people had infiltrated the headquarters of the Shengguo branch of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.

Ji Changsheng said calmly: "Letting them gather together will make it easier for us to catch them all in one fell swoop. Senior Brother Cao, how is your interrogation of Du Zongsheng going?"

Cao Ziming felt a little ashamed: "...I didn't find out anything during the interrogation. Du Zongsheng is very stubborn and I can't torture him."

"It's okay. I'll use it to do some good deeds later."

Ji Changsheng didn't care at all.

"As long as the golden lotus of merit grows, he is naturally guilty. No evidence is needed."

Cao Ziming: "...What if the Golden Lotus of Merit doesn't grow?"

After a pause, Cao Ziming added: "Du Zongsheng has also done a lot of good deeds. After all, he cultivates righteousness."

Ji Changsheng expressed his understanding of this.

Great philanthropists are usually wealthy people.

The rise of wealthy people is usually full of blood and sin.

It is not surprising that angels and demons are often one and the same.

The fact that Du Zongsheng is favored by countless people in Danqing Pavilion must be due to his merits.

But Ji Changsheng said confidently: "The Merit Golden Lotus will definitely grow."

Cao Ziming really wanted to ask why.

Ying Hongye glanced at Cao Ziming and said sarcastically, "You forgot what Changsheng just said."

"What?"

"Yaoguang Luohuan, number one in the world."

It doesn’t matter if the golden lotus of merit doesn’t actually grow.

Changsheng will be able to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.

Ying Hongye has great confidence in Ji Changsheng in terms of having no lower limit.

Cao Ziming: “…”

He was too naive.

…

Ji Changsheng gave Tongtian Chamber of Commerce an hour to react.

However, half an hour later, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce had basically completed the assembly of its personnel.

Under the pressure from Ji Changsheng, the Shengguo branch of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce headed by Chao Yuntian showed an efficiency that even shocked themselves.

Regardless of the cost, the teleportation array was opened in all major cities of Sheng Country. Within half an hour, all the personnel of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce with sufficient combat effectiveness in Sheng Country were mobilized to the headquarters. Chao Yuntian deeply realized a sentence:

"Sure enough, people's potential is forced out!"

Before this, he had never felt that Tongtian Chamber of Commerce could act so efficiently.

No wonder he is always beaten by Ji Changsheng.

Or maybe they just don't work hard enough.

Meng Zhenzhen and Sheng Jiayan were also somewhat surprised by the execution ability shown by Chao Yuntian this time.

Sheng Jiayan couldn't help but complain: "Brother Chao, if you had been so decisive before, the situation wouldn't have come to this."

She wouldn't have to be Ji Changsheng's dog anymore.

Chao Yuntian smiled bitterly and said, "I wouldn't make up my mind to do such a thing unless I was in a desperate situation. Now I am doing all this just to survive, but in fact, I have disrupted the overall deployment of our Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. After tonight, even if we can successfully stop Ji Changsheng, the overall operation of our Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in Shengguo will be seriously affected. The losses will be very heavy, and I will definitely be held accountable afterwards."

These were all decisions he made without consulting anyone before making the decision.

Not everyone has this kind of courage, especially disciples from large sects.

Ji Changsheng dares to rush around recklessly, but he doesn't dare to do so because he is the beneficiary of the rules.

Only by playing with them within the rules can he exert his greatest fighting power.

Ji Changsheng directly broke the rules, and Chao Yuntian simply didn't know how to play.

Now he has been forced into a desperate situation by Ji Changsheng, otherwise he would never do such a thing.

"It will take time for Ji Changsheng to take action. Princess Yan, I am going to officially activate the Liantian Shui Mirror and inform everyone of all the situations. Princess Yan, please stand with me." Chao Yuntian said.

He wanted to take someone down with him.

Moreover, Sheng Jiayan herself is one of the five core members of the Xianmen investigation team and a disciple of the Guanyin Temple.

Sheng Jiayan's identity can prove that his words are not nonsense, and it can also boost the morale of his own personnel and the support of the people of Sheng State.

Sheng Jiayan naturally would not refuse.

That's why she's here.

Although Chao Yuntian also believed in Meng Zhenzhen's sincerity in helping Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, he still guarded against Meng Zhenzhen. After all, Meng Zhenzhen was a witch from the Hehuan Sect.

But Chao Yuntian will not be on guard against Sheng Jiayan.

It’s not just because Sheng Jiayan is a disciple of Guanyin Temple and a member of the Xianmen Investigation Team, the more important reason is that Sheng Jiayan is also a beneficiary of the "Cihang Blessed Land".

His interests and Sheng Jiayan's are deeply intertwined.

In the eyes of businessmen, money relationships are always the most important, so they often ignore the importance of swords.

Spirit stones are indeed important, but when faced with swords and life and death, they are actually not that important.

Sheng Jiayan has already understood this truth, but Chao Yuntian has not.

So he had to be taught a lesson by Sheng Jiayan.

After a moment.

Countless people in Sheng Country were awakened from their sleep.

Because their rooms were compulsorily illuminated.

It wasn't just their room, the entire night sky of Sheng Country was illuminated.

It was already night.

It was a dark and windy night.

This is the perfect environment for murder and arson.

But now the night sky of Shengguo seemed to be covered with a layer of white water mirror, covering all the night and replacing it with infinite light, as if it were daytime.

In the water mirror, the scene of the Shengguo branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce quickly appeared.

Countless people of Sheng State stood up, looking confused.

"what happened?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Someone's rebelling? That shouldn't make such a big fuss."

"This is obviously a method used by the immortals."

"It looks like the Liantian Water Mirror from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."

"Liantian Water Mirror? Why would they suddenly use this? The last time Tongtian Merchants used the Liantian Water Mirror was when Shengguo was founded, right?"

"Yes, last time Emperor Gaozu founded the country, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce activated the Liantian Water Mirror and projected the heroic images of Emperor Gaozu and the founding ministers to various places in Shengguo as a founding gift. It has never been activated since then. It is said that activating the Liantian Water Mirror once costs a huge amount of money."

It was the first time for most people in Sheng State to see the Liantian Water Mirror being activated.

After all, the last time Tongtian Chamber of Commerce used this kind of powerful weapon was a long time ago, and most of the people who had seen it had already died.

The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce made such a big fuss that it quickly aroused huge momentum.

And Chao Yuntian's words instantly made the dark night of the entire Sheng Kingdom boil.

"Everyone, this is a critical moment for the survival of our Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, and it is also a turning point for the destiny of Sheng Nation."

"Xuan Du Temple's outer sect elder Ji Changsheng—he has gone crazy!"

"Because Ji Changsheng committed atrocities and killed people in Shengguo, the Xianmen formed an investigation team to come to Shengguo to investigate this man. But Ji Changsheng did not repent and openly detained the Xianmen investigation team in the palace. The team leader Yu Qingqing was placed under house arrest, Senior Brother Du Zongsheng of Danqing Pavilion was suppressed, and my junior sister Lu Xingzhen, the youngest daughter of the president of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, was ambushed and seriously injured. If it weren't for Princess Yan of Guanyin Palace who came to my rescue, my junior sister would have been killed by now."

"Not only that, Ji Changsheng also planned to completely destroy our Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, burn, kill, rob, and usurp the throne. Such behavior is outrageous to both humans and gods. We must work together to get rid of this traitor."

"Now Ji Changsheng has blocked all contact between Shengguo and the outside world. Ji Changsheng has also completely joined forces with the demons of the Demon Cult and is ready to raise the butcher knife against righteous people like us. At this critical moment of life and death, I hope you can unite to fight the enemy. As long as we can hold on for two days, the technical blockade of the remnants of Yingguo will collapse, Ji Changsheng's conspiracy will be exposed, and help from the outside world will surely come in droves."

"Fairy Linglong will definitely not protect someone like Ji Changsheng who has committed evil deeds. Ji Changsheng is not a disciple of Xuandu Temple at all. He is clearly an undercover agent of the Demon Cult. Moreover, Yu Qingqing, the leader of the Xianmen Investigation Team, has been placed under house arrest by him. He has completely turned to the Demon Cult. There is no need for us to be cautious. Anyone can punish the demon from the Demon Cult."

…

Chao Yuntian’s speech could be seen by the people of Sheng State, and Ji Changsheng could naturally see it as well.

Ji Changsheng shook his head and commented: "Among Chao Yuntian's nonsense, only the last paragraph is useful."

The Linglong ban is the huge mountain weighing on everyone's heads.

As long as the Linglong Sword Order is not cancelled, cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage will not be able to enter Sheng Country. With Ji Changsheng's current reputation, it would be difficult for others to even think of resisting Ji Changsheng.

Chao Yuntian must tell everyone that Ji Changsheng's behavior has exceeded the limits of the rules and even offended Fairy Linglong, so that many people will side with him.

"Do you want to listen more?" Ren Suqiong looked at Ji Changsheng.

They are ready and can take action at any time.

If Chao Yuntian had not been given time to gather his men, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce would have already opened its doors and welcomed them in.

Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "We will take action after Sheng Jiayan takes action."

"Are you sure Sheng Jiayan will really do it?" Ren Suqiong frowned and said, "After all, she is a disciple of Guanyin Temple. If she sides with you in public, it will be difficult to clear her name afterwards."

"No problem. Don't worry, I will help her. A puppet technique will solve the problem. Besides, she still has the 'tonic' I gave her in her body."

"Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has no shortage of elixirs. What if she finds out?"

"It's useless. It can't be solved. And Fairy Ren, you don't understand traitors. Converts are the most fanatical."

Based on his experience of watching so many anti-Japanese war dramas and spy films, Ji Changsheng said that once a traitor becomes a dog, he will be as loyal to his former comrades as he is to his loyal dog master.

Ji Changsheng felt it was great to be able to keep a princess as his dog in the Guanyin Temple.

Sheng Jiayan should be given enough stage to perform.

Sheng Jiayan did not disappoint him.

Chao Yuntian also gave Sheng Jiayan a stage to perform.

"This is a disciple of Guanyin Temple and one of the five core members of the Xianmen investigation team. She is also Princess Yan, a genius from Sheng Country. Princess Yan witnessed Ji Changsheng slaughtering the Xianmen investigation team in the palace. Please tell us what happened at that time."

Sheng Jiayan has become the focus of everyone's attention in Sheng State at this time.

After a moment of silence, Sheng Jiayan slowly spoke: "What Chao Yuntian said is not true."

"Um?"

Chao Yuntian looked at Sheng Jiayan in confusion.

At this point he hadn't realized what was happening.

Until a willow branch pierced his chest.

A hint of fanaticism flashed in the depths of Sheng Jiayan's eyes: "Everything Elder Ji does is to make the people of Sheng Country live a better life. He is the embodiment of justice."

Ji Changsheng must be just.

Only then can she be just.

This major premise must not be shaken.

Anyone who dares to question Ji Changsheng's justice is her sworn enemy.

"Eliminate the exploitation of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Shengguo belongs to all the people of Shengguo. I think Elder Ji is doing justice. Jiayan is willing to lend a helping hand to Elder Ji. Open the door and welcome Elder Ji!"

Under the stunned gaze of everyone in the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, the door of the Shengguo branch headquarters of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce slowly opened.

Meng Zhenzhen opened it.

Ji Changsheng, wearing a golden lotus of merit surrounded by golden light, walked into the headquarters of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce branch in a dignified manner.

Following behind him are a group of messengers of justice.

The people of Sheng State were also dumbfounded.

What's going on? Chao Yuntian finally reacted and said in disbelief: "Sheng Jiayan, you joined Ji Changsheng? Why?"

He doesn't understand.

Chao Yuntian is not dead yet.

Sheng Jiayan didn't dare to kill him in person.

Moreover, Ji Changsheng had told her that she didn't have to kill anyone, she just needed to make her position clear.

These are all seeds of merit. It would be a waste to leave them for Sheng Jiayan to kill.

Ji Changsheng prepared to do it himself.

Facing Chao Yuntian's questioning, Sheng Jiayan said solemnly: "Jiayan will not rely on anyone, Guanyin Temple will always stand on the side of justice."

She knew it was not easy to justify herself by doing so.

But it's better than losing your life.

And just because it’s hard to whitewash doesn’t mean it can’t be whitewashed.

As long as the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is nailed down, all those who stand against it will not have any major problems.

So Tongtian Chamber of Commerce must die.

Chao Yuntian's eyes showed despair.

He realized that there was no way out.

Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is actually capable of fighting. There are quite a few Jindan-level cultivators gathered at the branch headquarters. In terms of numbers alone, they are even more numerous than Ji Changsheng's men.

But this has nothing to do with him anymore.

Even if Tongtian Chamber of Commerce won, he would definitely be dead.

And they may not win.

Before the two armies officially clashed, the commander-in-chief had already been captured.

How to fight this? Chao Yuntian couldn't think of any way to turn the tide of the battle.

He could only feel helpless and furious: "Ji Changsheng, what you did is a blatant violation of the "Immortal Sect Convention". You even put Yu Qingqing under house arrest, and Fairy Linglong will never protect you. Today you destroyed the branch of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in Shengguo, and tomorrow countless masters of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce will come to Shengguo to cut you into pieces."

Ji Changsheng smiled: "Chairman Chao, you have lost your composure. When things go well, don't be overly happy; when things go badly, don't be panicked; when things are safe, don't be extravagant; when things are dangerous, don't be frightened. Only those who have thunder in their chests but calm faces can be promoted to generals. Your current performance is not even as good as that of a general in the mortal world. It is really a disgrace to the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."

"Fuck you...Pfft..."

Chao Yuntian directly spat out two teeth, stained with blood.

A slap from Ji Changsheng.

He didn't listen to anyone scolding his hobby.

"Think before you speak." Ji Changsheng kindly reminded.

Chao Yuntian was beaten awake.

Ji Changsheng didn't seem to have any intention of killing him.

Yes, the Liantianshuijing is on.

"Ji Changsheng, the Liantian Water Mirror has been activated, and the entire Sheng Kingdom is watching you. You dare not kill me, and you cannot touch the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, you will be openly violating the "Xianmen Convention". Xuandu Temple will never protect your behavior. Are you cutting yourself off from the right path?"

"Really?" Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Why would I cut myself off from the righteous path if I kill the most evil people?"

Chao Yuntian said angrily: "You don't have the final say over the evil ones."

"But the group of people who have the final say, such as you, are guilty of heinous crimes." Ji Changsheng gently patted Chao Yuntian's face, his expression cold: "Chao Yuntian, do you think Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is worthy of being called the righteous path?"

"Of course we are qualified. All the business methods of our Tongtian Chamber of Commerce are within the scope of the rules and have not violated the "Xianmen Convention." Chao Yuntian roared: "We are seeking profits in a reasonable and legal manner, but you are different. You are just robbing."

"If your actions are reasonable and legal, then there must be something wrong with the Immortal Gate Convention."

Chao Yuntian was shocked by Ji Changsheng's outrageous remarks: "The Immortal Sect Convention was jointly formulated by all the major immortal sects. Are you questioning them?"

"What's wrong with questioning the major immortal sects?" Ji Changsheng said coldly: "The truth can withstand all doubts. The fact that Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has survived until now has made me very disappointed in the major immortal sects. Therefore, I want to change the criteria for judgment."

Ji Changsheng pointed at the golden lotus of merit above his head and said, "Isn't the golden lotus of merit recognized by the Heavenly Dao fairer than the "Immortal Sect Convention" formulated by the major immortal sects? Chao Yuntian, do you think my merit energy will increase if I kill you?"

Chao Yuntian's eyes were red with anger: "You dare?"

Ji Changsheng swung his knife.

Facts have proved that he is really brave.

The golden lotus of merit shines even brighter.

Under the illumination of the Liantian Water Mirror, a brand new petal is striving to grow.

With this strike of the sword, Ji Changsheng cut himself off from all the major immortal sects.

But with this one slash of the knife, Ji Changsheng forever entered the hearts of the people of Sheng State.

"Today I want to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. I need to add at least two petals of the Golden Lotus of Merit. Please help me!"
