Chapter 427: Revengeful and narrow-minded
This fox demon came from Taihu Lake, first sat on West Dongting Mountain, and then subdued the evil dragon, all for the purpose of practicing.
This evil dragon follows the orders of the Great Immortal Jin Ting to go up to the sky to collect the essence of heavenly thunder every day, without end. A dignified fifth-grade true dragon is like a tenant farmer, toiling every day for the Great Immortal Jin Ting's practice.
However, this fox demon was indeed very bold and had a large appetite. Not satisfied with the help of a real dragon in his cultivation, he even sought to use the power of the Taihu Water Palace to cultivate. He was not afraid of being greedy and reckless, and thus becoming possessed.
Although he secretly criticized the fox demon, the Taihu God had to bow to him and accept his kindness.
Putting away the Taihu God and the Cloud-Rain-Traveling Banner, the Taihu God did not want to stay any longer. Although the fox demon had no hostility towards him and still needed his strength, he had been repeatedly frustrated by it and did not want to have any further contact with it. However, before leaving, he had one more thing to do.
The Taihu God said, "Great Immortal, I have another request."
Jin Ting Daxian raised his brows and said, "Please speak."
The Taihu God asked, "My adopted son gave the dragon pearl to the Great Immortal as a gift for his cultivation. I wonder if the Great Immortal can return the dragon pearl to you?"
The Immortal Jin Ting refused without hesitation, "Since it's a tuition fee, how can I return it?"
The Taihu God said, "A rebellious son who has become your teacher must pay tribute. I am willing to offer other treasures in place of the Dragon Ball. Please, Great Immortal..."
Before he could finish his words, the Immortal Jin Ting said with a smile, "Does the Venerable God think that I covet his dragon ball?"
He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. He said, "He's gifted with a clever tongue, so he wants to take advantage of me." He added meaningfully, "If I don't teach him a lesson, won't I be humiliated in vain?"
Revengeful and petty! A senior and wise man is arguing with a child!
Taihu God cursed inwardly, but could only echo, "Tie Chen simply spoke out of haste, it was an unintentional mistake. I beg the Immortal to forgive me."
Jin Ting Daxian said, "Alright, I'm just teaching him a lesson. I'll pay him back in the future."
The Taihu God couldn't stand this, so he said goodbye, "Great Immortal, I still have to go and regulate the water veins. I'll take my leave now."
Jin Ting Daxian would not try to keep him and just watched him leave.
Cai Leiguan was full of doubts and asked, "With the Taihu Divine Lord in your hands, the Great Immortal's ability is such that he can control him however he wants. Since the Great Immortal promised Tiechen to help him regain the throne, why did you let him go so easily?"
The Immortal Jin Ting glanced at the Thunder Officer and said, "You don't understand."
The Thunder Officer was frustrated and felt annoyed. Why didn't he understand? How could he understand without being told?
But Jin Ting Daxian didn't want to say it, and he had no way to pry open the fox demon's mouth.
The mine officer felt sorry and said, "That old fellow got a bargain."
Jin Ting Daxian laughed and said, "He got away with it? What that evil creature Du Heng did last night was enough to make the God suffer."
The evil dragon Cai Leiguan lacks respect for life, otherwise he would not have been suppressed under Guishan by Master Shenzhao a thousand years ago.
What Du Heng did last night was no different from the rebellion he caused in Taihu Lake a thousand years ago. It was just that Du Heng had a Taihu Lake God holding him back, but it was hard to say how long that would last.
Thinking of Du Heng, the Immortal Jin Ting looked at the evil dragon with some displeasure and asked, "Why are you still standing here?"
The Thunder Collector was puzzled for a moment, then figured it out and asked, "The Immortal has already made the Heavenly Thunder Pill. Does he still need me to collect the Heavenly Thunder Essence?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "The Heavenly Thunder Pill has just been formed, and it's time to refine it. Didn't you hear me tell the Taihu God that I wanted to use the Taihu Water Palace for cultivation? You're still a long way from perfecting the precious pill, so go quickly."
The black dragon was annoyed, but he had to obey the order and went to the sky to collect the essence of heavenly thunder.
The Immortal Jin Ting summoned the Inspector and said, "Chong Jing, how are the sheep grazing in the back mountains? Have they recovered?"
Taoist Chong Jing reported: "He has recovered. He has drunk the mountain spring and is eating grass."
The Immortal Jin Ting nodded and said, "Okay, you take good care of it. In a few days, two more dragons will come to help me collect thunder, and I'll need these sheep then."
After Chong Jing received the task, he transformed himself into a shepherd boy and went to guard the rainmaker.
After seven days, the Taoist magic left by the Immortal Jin Ting in Du Heng finally dissipated, allowing his soul and body to merge and he could finally move.
As soon as he was able to move, he immediately caused unrest in the Shui Mansion and chased Tiechen to his mansion to fight with him.
Tiechen lost the dragon ball and was no match for him. He was beaten until he vomited blood.
Prime Minister Turtle went to stop him, but he also suffered an unexpected disaster and was hit by his sword, injuring his arm.
Had the Taihu God not returned in time, two of his generals would have been killed. The Taihu God traveled thousands of miles for seven days, mobilizing all the divine soldiers of the Water Palace to re-regulate the water veins. Although he had the Taihu God's assistance, it was still a tremendous drain on his energy. He also had to deal with the stream and river gods downstream to prevent them from complaining to the Golden Dragon King.
As soon as he returned to the Water Palace, he saw this rebellious son hurting people again, and he was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end.
"Evil creature! Who do you want to kill?" asked the Taihu God.
"Of course we have to kill this traitor!" Du Heng pointed his sword at Tie Chen.
The Taihu God stepped forward to grab his sword, but Du Heng refused to give it to him. He turned the blade towards the Taihu God and said, "Who is your son? Are you helping him and not me?"
Taihu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. A dragon shadow appeared behind him, and he stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed it fiercely.
Du Heng attacked with his sword, but was knocked away by the dragon's claws.
The Taihu God grabbed Du Heng and threw him to the ground, his face livid as he said, "You truly disappoint me!"
Du Heng fell to the ground, looked at the Taihu God, and cursed: "You killed my mother. Do you think you are worthy of my mother by treating me like this?"
The Taihu God transformed into a dragon, grabbed Du Heng by the collar, and said, "You evil creature, how dare you insult your mother?"
Du Heng struggled, looking at the Taihu God with only hatred in his eyes.
The God of Taihu looked at his spoiled child, and his anger became extremely exhausted under his hateful eyes.
"Forget it." Taihu God let go of his hand, and Du Heng fell to the ground.
"I didn't teach you well. Go to Shenjing Palace tomorrow. The Immortal Jinting promised me that he would teach you well."
"I'm not going!" Du Heng shouted.
The Taihu God said indifferently: "You have to go even if you don't want to."
Du Heng was naturally no match for the Taihu God, so he could only turn his hatred towards Tie Chen and said, "Tie Chen, you and I grew up together, and you're my sworn brother, yet you betrayed me in front of the demon fox and forced me to go to him to be humiliated. You deserve to die!"
Tie Chen was silent.
Taihu God said, "If it weren't for Chen'er's intercession, you would have died long ago. He interceded for you and even gave the Dragon Ball to the Immortal Jin Ting. Otherwise, do you think you could hurt him?"
Tie Chen shook his head and said, "Godfather, stop talking."
Du Heng looked at Tie Chen in shock, but felt even more humiliated. He said, "Who cares! When did I ever need you to save me?"
The Taihu God no longer wanted to listen to him and locked him up in his mansion.
