Chapter 409: The Victim Arrives, a Golden Invitation
The Three Thousand Years Old puffed out his chest. Despite his age, he remained neither humble nor overbearing. His eyes were stern as he said, "I have come to seek an explanation from the Great Immortal Jin Ting."
Jin Ting Daxian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Explanation? What explanation?"
The Three Thousand Years Old said in grief and anger, "Last night, I was returning to Taihu Water Palace from Lingyan Mountain when that evil thief intercepted me halfway. He attacked me, severely injured me, and stole my treasure."
The Three Thousand Years Old stared intently at the Immortal Jin Ting and said coldly, "Immortal, this evil villain is your servant. He committed such a wicked act, and you didn't do anything about it?"
Jin Ting Daxian showed some surprise and asked, "Is this really true?"
The Three Thousand Years Old revealed his true form, revealing the cracks in his tortoise shell. He said, "This evil villain has committed such a cruel act, and has even taken my red clam pearl. Great Immortal Jin Ting, I am a veteran of the Taihu Water Palace, having served the Water God for three dynasties. Although I am now old, I cannot tolerate this bullying. Please give me an explanation."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I am also filled with righteous indignation at the old Prime Minister's cruelty. So, I will call the Thunder Officer to confront him. If he is the one who did it, I will definitely give the old Prime Minister an explanation."
Even as he was speaking, the dark clouds in the sky had been completely dispelled.
The sunlight fell on the waves, like shining on a piece of clear crystal, creating a gorgeous rainbow glow.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked up and called out, "Grandmaster Cai Lei, why don't you come down?"
The black dragon roared and descended from the sky, stirring up the water of Taihu Lake and dispersing the huge waves for thousands of miles. The huge waves rising under Young Master Chen's feet kept surging and were in danger of capsizing at any time.
Young Master Chen took off the sword from his waist, held the hilt with both hands, and pressed the scabbard against the waves, and the surging water gradually stabilized.
Before the black dragon arrived, it had already started fighting with Young Master Chen.
Young Master Chen steadied Hong Bo, and the huge black shadow slowly descended and stood behind the Immortal Jin Ting. He bowed and said, "Immortal."
The Immortal Jin Ting said leisurely, "Officer Cai Lei, the old Prime Minister just complained to me, saying that you robbed him on the way and attacked him by surprise. Not only did you injure him, but you also stole his treasure. I wonder if this is true?"
The Thunder Officer was immediately furious, his eyes flashing with coldness. He looked at the old Prime Minister and asked, "What evidence do you have?"
The Three Thousand Years Old felt a sharp pain on his back and cursed, "You evil thief! What proof do I have? You thought you could knock me out with one palm and steal my treasure without anyone noticing? You didn't know I have the skill to hold my breath. I was still awake when you reached into my shell and took something out!"
The Thunder Officer's face suddenly turned grim. He said, "How can your words alone be counted? How do you know it wasn't you who lost the treasure, but instead you blamed it on me?"
"Hahaha, how ridiculous." The Three Thousand Years Old looked at the Thunder Officer with a look of pity on his face. He said, "A thousand years ago, although you committed many evil deeds, you were at least a man who dared to take responsibility for your actions. I didn't expect that now that you've been born, you've become a villain who dares to do things but not to take responsibility for them."
The Thunder Officer couldn't stand such a look of pity and immediately scolded, "Old man, it was you who spoke rudely and slandered me at the old monk's birthday party that caused me to take revenge."
"You're so talkative, but why didn't you dare to say anything when I took your treasure? Are you pretending to be dead? Are you afraid that I'll find out you're awake and beat you to death?"
"You...you..." Three Thousand Years Old was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He looked at the Great Immortal Jin Ting and cried, "Great Immortal Jin Ting, this evil dragon under your command is behaving like this, and you won't do anything about it?"
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the Thunder Officer with a forced smile, and the Thunder Officer immediately shrank back. The Immortal Jin Ting's warning from yesterday was still ringing in his ears. If he was discovered, he would punish him.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the Three Thousand Year Old and said, "I failed to discipline my subordinates, injured the old Prime Minister, and stole the treasure. This was indeed wrong. But the old Prime Minister's lack of moral integrity is the cause of this matter."
"He is a minister under my command. The old Prime Minister spoke rudely, but is he dissatisfied with me as his master?"
The golden eyes of the Great Immortal Jin Ting were dangerous and cold. He was three thousand years old and had not spoken yet, but he was already timid in his heart.
Young Master Chen stepped forward, blocking half of the Three Thousand Year Old Man's body. He had already drawn his sword, his silver armor and silver sword, his eyes piercing. "The old Prime Minister's words were indeed wrong, but the evil dragon had severely injured him, and he had already taken revenge. It was even more unreasonable to steal the treasure."
The Immortal Jin Ting's gaze fell on the young general in silver armor and asked, "Who are you?"
Young Master Chen said, "My name is Tiechen, also known as General Taihu. The God of Taihu is my adoptive father."
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "So it's the General who's here. I wonder what advice you have for me?"
Tie Chen looked at the Three Thousand Years Old and said, "Old Prime Minister."
The Three Thousand Years Old straightened his clothes and said, "Today we have come to seek justice, but we are not here for myself, but for my master, the Taihu God."
"The treasure stolen by the evil dragon was guarded by the Taihu God. Now that the evil dragon has stolen the treasure, the Taihu God has asked me to come here to ask the Great Immortal to come to the Water Palace for a talk."
The Three Thousand Years Old presented the golden invitation to Gong Mengbi, saying, "Great Immortal Jin Ting, the Taihu God will be waiting for you at the mansion at 12:00 tonight."
The Immortal Jinting took the golden note and unfolded it. He saw a message written in flowing calligraphy: an invitation from the God of Taihu Lake. He said he had heard that a master of Taoism had arrived in Taihu Lake and wanted to invite him to the Water Palace for a chat.
However, the words between the lines were filled with the divine power of the Taihu God. When the Great Immortal Jin Ting opened the golden letter, the divine power rushed towards him like a knife, a sword, a wind, and lightning. The words on the golden letter seemed to come alive, lined up like an army, and rushed towards the face of the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
The Immortal Jin Ting laughed and blew gently. A white cloud blew out, which rolled back the divine power and turned it into smoke. The words about the marching troops also turned into a pool of ink and fell back on the golden letter.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Please ask the old Prime Minister and the General to take my reply back and report it to the Taihu God. I will come as invited."
He handed the golden card back to Sanqiansui. When Sanqiansui took it in his hand, he felt that the golden card had become three points heavier.
The Three Thousand Years Old man put away the golden note, glanced at the Immortal Jin Ting, then looked deeply at the black dragon, and then walked back behind Tie Chen.
Tie Chen looked at the Immortal Jin Ting and said, "Then I will wait for you in the Water Palace."
The Taihu Lake sailors rode the waves away, and the mountain-like waves merged silently into the Taihu Lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jin Ting Daxian turned around to look at the Thunder Officer who was sneaking back, and said with a fake smile: "Thunder Officer, where are you going?"
The black dragon shuddered, stopped, and bowed, "Great Immortal, spare my life!"
The Great Immortal Jin Ting snorted coldly, and a black wind emerged from the void and rolled towards the black dragon.
Black Dragon saw clearly that it was the elixir of the Immortal Jin Ting that he had accidentally eaten that day. It was called Taixu Evil Wind, which could corrode flesh and blood and destroy the soul.
The black dragon turned around and fled, running towards the sky.
The evil wind from Taixu was chasing relentlessly, and the entire sky seemed to be drawn by a stroke of thick ink, sweeping the black dragon into it.
The Taixu evil wind transformed into strands of silk threads, tightly binding the black dragon and constantly trying to get into his acupoints.
The black dragon had no choice but to spread the dragon energy throughout its nine orifices to prevent the evil wind from entering its body.
The Immortal Jin Ting turned into a wisp of green smoke, and when he reappeared, he was already stepping on the black dragon's head and pressing him down the West Dongting Mountain.
"Officer Cai Lei, did I warn you? Now that the victim has come to you, how are you going to deal with him?"
