Chapter 449: Being a Lobbyist, the King Misled Me
Jin Ting Daxian just listened and did not respond.
King Tonghui said quietly, "I just don't know why the Immortal Jinting wants to oppose me, Shangfangshan?"
King Tonghui looked at the Immortal Jinting. Their eyes met, and in just a moment, the Immortal Jinting seemed to be caught in a torrent.
This vast torrent is constantly changing, like the void of the universe, or like the rotation of the galaxy, with pictures flashing in it, like a kaleidoscope, just flashing by, and nothing can be seen clearly.
The Immortal Jin Ting was swept up in this torrent, and he could vaguely see that the changing pictures and scenes in it were his own past.
The first thing he saw was the thunder roaring over Taihu Lake, and then the moonlight pouring down from the Shenjing Palace.
This revolving lantern actually reflected the past of the Immortal Jin Ting.
But this torrent, from beginning to end, was just a pair of eyes of King Tonghui. These eyes of his were spying on the past of the Immortal Jinting.
A loud thunderclap erupted in the void.
The Immortal Jin Ting stood at the tail end of the torrent. He simply raised his hand, and the universe trembled, thunder roared with might. The ever-shifting torrent suddenly twisted, and then the illusion of the spiritual confrontation suddenly shattered, turning into millions of fragments, each as sharp as a mirror.
A flash of lightning appeared in King Tonghui's eyes, and then his magic was broken by the Immortal Jinting.
The Immortal Jin Ting laughed and said, "King Tonghui has great magical powers. He can see the past and the future, and know the past and the future. Why do you say that?"
King Tonghui showed a surprised look, looked at the Immortal Jin Ting and praised him, "Not bad."
"If you didn't intend to oppose me, Shangfang Mountain, then why did you send your disciples to kill the rampant gods under my command?"
Jin Ting Daxian said: "I see, this is really a misunderstanding."
"My two students are the crown prince and marshal of the Water Palace, and it's their duty to wipe out evil spirits and protect the Water Palace. I guess there have been more refugees recently, and the rampant gods under the command of several kings have been frequenting the waters, so they were accidentally injured."
King Tonghui said, "Since it was an accidental injury, I hope the same thing won't happen again in the future."
Jin Ting Daxian smiled and said, "They are now training under my tutelage. I can stop them from interfering. But they are just a few rampant gods. I'm afraid it's not worth the king's trouble. The king has called me here because he wants to discuss something else."
King Tonghui looked intently at the Immortal Jinting and said, "The Immortal is truly a wonderful person."
He stepped down from the main seat and personally poured wine for the Immortal Jin Ting. He said, "Your student is a small matter, and the death of a few rampant gods is also a small matter. It's really not something that I need to worry about."
"The Immortal is extremely wise. I asked him to come here because I hope he can help me with something else."
The Immortal Jin Ting took the wine cup from King Tonghui. He was not afraid of King Tonghui. He looked into his eyes and said, "This is for the Water Palace."
King Tonghui clapped his hands and said, "That's right. When talking to an intelligent person, there's no need to beat around the bush."
"I don't want those two little dragons to stop, I want the Water Palace to withdraw."
"Wu County is our territory. The sky, the earth, the mountains, and the water are all our hunting grounds. The Taihu God is in charge of the waters of Taihu Lake and is extremely noble, but he should no longer be involved in the affairs of Wu County's rivers and lakes."
"The Taihu God should just take care of his own Taihu Lake. Being a respectable god is better than anything else. What do you think?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "King Tonghui's words are quite reasonable. The Five-Powered God possesses immense powers, and is more than capable of managing the rivers and lakes of Wu Commandery. There is no need for the God of Taihu to distract him."
"But I am only a teacher in the Taihu Water Palace. What is the point of your telling me all this, Your Majesty?"
King Tonghui said with a chuckle, "The Immortal is not a teacher. You were able to make that old dragon bow down, and even coax him to use the power of Taihu Lake to help you cultivate. This shows how important you are to him."
"I would like to ask the Great Immortal to be a middleman. Please speak to the Taihu God on my behalf. As long as the Taihu God agrees to this matter, I can pay a sufficient price."
King Tonghui placed a jade egg on the table of the Immortal Jinting and said, "This is my sincere request to the Immortal. If you can help me accomplish this, I will also give you a generous gift."
The Immortal Jin Ting stared at the jade egg intently, took a deep breath, and said, "Among those who practice Taiyin in this world, I'm afraid there are few who can refuse the king."
King Tonghui smiled and said, "This is just my sincerity, not my reward for asking the immortal to come forward."
The Immortal Jin Ting lowered his eyes slightly, thought slowly, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want the waters of Wujun, you are cutting into the flesh of the Taihu God. Please tell me what price you are willing to pay to get the Taihu God to release you. Otherwise, I will go back and speak out, which may anger the Taihu God, which will be disastrous."
When King Tonghui saw that the Immortal Jinting was willing to come forward, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to refuse my price."
King Tonghui did not say anything else, but placed a jade note in the hands of the Immortal Jinting.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked slowly, then suddenly stood up and stared intently at King Tonghui. His face turned grim and he said, "Your Majesty, you have misled me."
All the arrogant gods sitting at the table stood up, led by the fifth-grade arrogant god sitting opposite the Jin Ting Great Immortal, and vaguely blocked all the retreat routes of the Jin Ting Great Immortal.
King Tonghui laughed and said, "Why? Great Immortal, do you think our plan cannot be accomplished?"
The Immortal Jin Ting looked around.
The White Elephant Dragon had collapsed, his legs trembling under the table and he couldn't stand up.
The Thunder Officer managed to withstand the pressure and managed to stand up, but he was already on the verge of exploding at the slightest touch.
He sighed softly and said, "It's not that I think the five kings' plan can't succeed. If they can accomplish this, it will open up a new path for the monsters in the world. But why involve me in this?"
King Tonghui said, "Great Immortal, you are extremely wise and profound in your Dao. Shangfang Mountain is willing to reserve a seat for you. Furthermore, we must convince the Taihu Lake God. This is absolutely necessary. Please bear with us."
Jin Ting Daxian closed his eyes and calmed down. He said, "Well, I will do my best to fulfill the task entrusted by the king."
King Tonghui bowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal."
The Immortal Jinting drank the wine poured by King Tonghui himself, and waved his hand to put the jade egg on the table into his sleeve.
King Tonghui was very happy and said, "Everyone, sit down. Come, drink!"
The God of Chang was very happy, and King Tonghui was also very happy.
Only the Great Immortal Jin Ting was in low spirits. It wasn't that he was unhappy, but his enjoyment was different from that of everyone else.
Just as everyone was feasting, the entire temple suddenly lit up with a faint light.
King Tonghui said happily, "My sister is here."
He waved his hand and a door opened in the shrine.
A slender girl walked gracefully into the temple.
The girl was dressed in brocade clothes, with jade hairpins and golden rings, and she walked gracefully like a blooming flower.
When he arrived at the shrine, he smiled and said to King Tonghui, "Fourth brother, are there guests here?"
Her eyes were as clear as autumn water as she looked at the Immortal Jin Ting.
The Immortal Jin Ting nodded slightly. This was exactly the Qiong Niang he had seen that day. She was full of pure energy and Taoist spirit, completely different from King Tonghui.
