Chapter 658: Robbery and Murder
Gong Mengbi arrived late and did not witness the full picture of the fight between the two sides, but judging from the casualties of the heavenly soldiers and generals, it was obvious that the Holy Mother Jizhituo had not organized an effective resistance unintentionally.
Gong Mengbi felt a little regretful. Battles between the upper three ranks were rare, and if he could observe them, he would surely gain a deeper understanding. Especially after learning the Void Weaving Net technique from the Holy Mother Jizhituo, he would have a better understanding of the direction of divine power.
However, these slight regrets are insignificant and just seem like whining without any real reason.
The Immortal Jin Ting had been here for so long that he himself had been forced to disappear. Mixed among wolves and tigers, treated with false affection and hypocrisy, his own demonic nature grew wildly.
Now that great things have been accomplished, the haze has been swept away, the big stone has been removed, and my body and mind feel relaxed.
The two ghosts who were blocking the road let them pass and said, "Gong Huzheng, you can pass now."
Gong Mengbi went to pay a visit to Zhang Yuanshi, who put a talisman on the treasure box and sent a team of divine generals to escort it carefully.
Seeing Gong Mengbi, he smiled and said, "You are here safely, which shows that everything is going well."
Gong Mengbi thanked him and said, "If it weren't for the court envoy's words and the blessing of heaven, I'm afraid the court envoy would have to see me at the mansion master's place."
Zhang Yuanshi laughed heartily and said, "Don't blame me, the Lord will blame me later."
Gong Mengbi also laughed and pulled out five gems from his sleeve, some as dark as the sky, some as yellow as the earth, tied together by a string made of moonlight. Among them was a red bead that slowly rotated, pierced by countless strands of moonlight and fixed in the string.
Gong Mengbi handed the treasure to Zhang Yuanshi and said, "I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission."
Zhang Yuanshi smiled even more and said, "This trip to Tianfu will bring you more merits."
Afterwards, he carefully locked the spirit of the Five Gods in another jade box and ordered another team of heavenly generals to guard it strictly.
Gong Mengbi did not dare to take credit for it, saying, "The ability to subdue Wutong was not achieved by me alone. It was achieved by the righteous men who sacrificed their lives."
Zhang Yuanshi glanced at him with a hint of surprise, but then his expression softened. He said, "You're not greedy for credit, which is rare."
He advised, "You have accomplished such a great deed, and you will be favored by heaven. Don't waste this opportunity."
Gong Mengbi agreed.
Envoy Zhang glanced at the heavenly soldiers and generals who had already formed their battle array and said, "I'll be leaving first. We'll meet again later."
Gong Mengbi watched the group of gods fly away into the sky. Zhang Yuanshi sat in the middle, his divine power vast and awe-inspiring without even being angry.
The clouds retreated and the moon set above.
The two ghosts and gods who blocked his way did not leave with the main force, but were responsible for finishing up here and came forward to talk to him.
Gong Mengbi was clearly a Taishan native. Although he wasn't employed by the Heavenly Palace and was a ghost or fox, he was a leader of Taishan's immortal register, making him a legitimate immortal. Furthermore, he was acquainted with Zhang Yuanshi and seemed to be quite impressed by him, which inevitably led the two ghosts and gods to want to get close to Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi actually didn't know much about Tianfu, so it was great to have these two enthusiastic people willing to talk to him.
The three of them chatted happily, and when they talked about today's events, the two ghosts said, "It is a great relief to be able to capture this old demon, and the court officials will also be praised. This matter has far-reaching implications. I heard that the Heavenly King is personally involved, and everyone is very nervous."
"Now we can breathe a sigh of relief." Gong Mengbi echoed.
The two ghosts looked relieved, as if a matter of concern had been resolved. "After this busy period, I'll feel a little more relaxed."
But Zhang Yuanshi, who left first, did not look relaxed.
To return to Tianfu from Shangfang Mountain, one must take the Cloud Road. Standing high above the heavens, the Cloud Road offers a breathtaking view of the earth and its inhabitants, the stars and the bright moon, and the wonders of nature, all created by heaven and earth.
The gods escorted the Holy Mother Jizhituo and the Five Gods back to heaven. When they were halfway there, suddenly a divine light appeared.
"Be on guard!" Zhang Yuanshi shouted, then swung his whisk and shouted, "Which fellow Taoist is blocking the road?"
The flowing divine light was not dazzling, but it was endless and mighty. The divine light was hidden in the clouds, disappearing without a trace, and its identity could not be distinguished at all.
The man in the divine light did not answer, but stretched out a giant hand that could capture the sky, and turned into boundless flames, like a burning cloud, rolling towards the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the two prisoners.
Zhang Yuanshi was furious and said, "How dare you!"
He waved his whisk and suddenly mobilized the pure energy of the sky. The light of the stars and the moon fell all over the sky, and the clouds in the sky flowed like waterfalls. The clear light and clouds turned into a rain of swords, and suddenly stabbed towards the divine light.
The giant hand that was like a blazing cloud suddenly lifted up and blocked the rain of swords from the sky. Then, a deep voice came from the clouds: "Leave!"
The void was filled with a buzzing sound, and Zhang Yuanshi felt dizzy and disoriented. The whole world seemed to be moving away in front of him, but he continued to sink deeper into the boundless void.
Zhang Yuanshi secretly thought that something was wrong. He concentrated his mind and got rid of the influence of the sound of the word "li". His spirit returned.
That moment seemed to last an extremely long time, but in fact, from the time he was hit to the time he woke up, it was just a matter of a second.
But in just a flash of thought, all the spirits of the heavenly soldiers and generals were frightened, and two giant hands reached out to the heavenly soldiers and generals, grabbing the jade box containing the Holy Mother Jizhituo and the Five-Directional God.
Zhang Yuanshi's expression was extremely cold and hard. He ordered: "Return to your positions!"
At the command, divine thunder filled the void clouds. The heavenly soldiers and generals immediately woke up and immediately deployed their troops. The divine light shone, the thunder shook, and it turned into a huge thunder array, trapping the two giant hands inside.
Zhang Yuanshi was already furious. He bowed to the north and said, "Please, Great Emperor, grant me divine power!"
For a moment, the stars in the North Pole shone brightly, hanging down from afar, bringing blessings.
The divine light hidden in the clouds sighed, knowing that nothing could be done. The two giant hands no longer tried to rescue the Holy Mother Jizhituo and the Five-Directions God, but suddenly struck the two magical instruments with a cracking sound.
After the giant hand of fire and cloud struck, everything disappeared into thin air, and the divine light in the cloud also quietly vanished.
Envoy Zhang borrowed the divine light from the North Pole and pierced through the obscuring clouds in an instant, but he was a step too late and the person hidden in the clouds had disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yuanshi snorted coldly and said, "You run so fast!"
In the distance, heavy clouds rose up, layer upon layer, and the cloud paths flowed. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the heavy clouds were flying towards him or the cloud paths were flowing into the heavy clouds.
Zhang Yuanshi and others were covered by heavy clouds, and all they could see was the towering Tianmen.
Several generals in armor rushed out of the Heavenly Gate and looked outside. When they saw Envoy Zhang, they breathed a sigh of relief. The leading general said, "It's Envoy Zhang. I just saw the thunder on the Cloud Path and thought something had happened."
Zhang Yuanshi looked at the two broken jade boxes with a gloomy expression and said, "It was just an accident."
The two jade boxes were covered with cracks and emitted a frightening aura of death.
"unlock!"
The jade lock broke, the treasure box shattered, and the things contained in the box had turned into a handful of burnt ashes.
All the little spiders transformed by Our Lady Jizhituo died, and the thick aura of death turned into black smoke rising into the sky under the divine light of Tianmen.
Zhang Yuanshi flicked his whisk to clear away the black smoke, then looked at the other jade box. He saw that the red beads dimmed and the magic faded. The five gems transformed by the spirits became five constantly changing water balls and no longer had any shape.
“Damn it!”
