Chapter 677: Staying in Shenjing Palace
The situation in Shenjing Palace was changing rapidly. Through the palace gate, the expression of Cai Leiguan was suffocating. Just by looking at Tiechen, he felt a sense of pain.
Tiechen raised his foot and wanted to step forward to explain, but Cai Leiguan just stretched out his hand and grabbed Chong Jing who was blocking the palace gate, and pulled him into the door by the clothes on his back.
The moment Chong Jing entered, the palace gate slammed shut, locking Tie Chen out.
Before Tiechen even raised his foot, he was warned that he was not welcome.
Tiechen stood at the door, the rain pouring down from the sky made him dispirited. He could only turn around and follow the water trail, disappearing step by step into the Shenjing Palace.
Chong Jing flew backwards into the garden and landed in front of Cai Leiguan, who held his shoulders.
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Chong Jing turned around and looked up at him. He couldn't see the expression on Cai Leiguan's face, but he could feel the feeling of loss that was constantly sinking.
Chong Jing looked at the letter in Cai Leiguan's hand. Despite being attacked by wind and rain, the letter was not stained with moisture at all.
"Officer Cai Lei, why don't we just not open this letter?"
The mine officer was upset and asked, "Will it be useful if we don't tear it down?"
Chong Jing suddenly sneezed, his nasal tone becoming heavier, and said, "Anyway, the immortal didn't come."
The thunder officer pushed him, and the two of them went to the eaves of the Golden Palace together.
Officer Cai Lei said, "He's already here."
As he opened the letter, he heard the rustling sound of wind in the letter. The ink on the letter turned into a fox shape in the wind, blew open the door of the golden palace and fell into it.
A brilliant light lit up in the golden palace, and the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture, which had not been active for a long time, woke up again. Its eyes lit up, and the entire golden palace was dotted with stars.
The fox transformed into the Great Immortal Jin Ting and stood in the Golden Palace. The Thunder Officer and the Supervisory Envoy looked at each other, then followed him in and saluted the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the Thunder Officer and said, "You have indeed never slacked off in your cultivation. Your hostility is gradually weakening, and your dragon nature is growing stronger. You have lived up to my expectations."
"Thank you for the compliment, Great Immortal." The Thunder Officer was still a little moved. The influence of the Great Immortal Jin Ting on him was so profound that it even exceeded his own imagination. Especially since the Great Immortal Jin Ting was not known for his compliments, it was not easy to get a compliment from him.
Cai Leiguan originally thought that the Immortal Jinting would punish him as soon as they met, but unexpectedly his tone was quite gentle, which was rare.
Jin Ting Daxian looked at the Inspector again, stretched out his hand to him, and Chong Jing walked to his side.
The Immortal Jin Ting took a closer look at him and said, "Indeed, the Shenjing Palace has a successor."
"Ah?" Chong Jing asked in confusion, but knowing it was a good thing, he smiled happily and asked, "I haven't seen you, the Immortal, for quite a while. Where have you been?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "The Five-Power God has given me my life, and I am now free. However, due to my previous entanglement with the Five-Power God, I am now being punished in the Heavenly Fox Court. I don't know when I can be released."
Chong Jing said, "The Great Immortal is not in the same group as them, so why should he be punished?"
The mine officer curled his lips and said nothing.
"Chong Jing, go tell your master."
The young Taoist priest responded and walked out the door.
After sending the brat away, the Immortal Jinting looked at the Thunder Officer carefully, which made him feel creepy and he had to beg for mercy, "What are your instructions, Immortal?"
The Immortal Jin Ting sneered and said, "I was going to kill Tie Chen and Du Heng together before, but you stopped me. I just thought you were an old subordinate of the former Taihu Dragon God, but I didn't expect you to be his illegitimate child left behind."
The officer's face flushed red, perhaps out of shame or anger, as he said, "That old bastard was a traitor. I dare not acknowledge him."
The Immortal Jin Ting sighed and said, "If you had asked me to kill Tie Chen that day, there wouldn't be any trouble today. You were soft-hearted back then, and now that Tie Chen wants to recognize you, you're taking your anger out on him. Aren't you suffering from both sides?"
The mine officer stopped talking.
Jin Ting Daxian said, "Well, I'm not here to bring you two brothers together. One of you is my disciple, and the other is my subordinate. I can't be partial to either of you, so I'll just leave it to you."
The Thunder Officer looked at the Immortal Jin Ting with some surprise.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "But I do have something I want you to do. Tiechen is not just your brother, he's also my disciple. I can't help but consider him, so even if you want to hold a grudge against me for this, I won't let you refuse—you asked for it."
Outside the hall, thunder roared, wind and rain rolled, just like the mood of the thunder official.
The sky grew darker, the lights in the hall brightened, and many flying dragons began to move slowly in the hall.
Taoist Xiao and Chong Jing hurried over. When they reached the edge of the Golden Palace, they slowed down and waited outside the palace.
From inside the hall came the call from the Immortal Jin Ting: "Master Xiao, please come in."
When Taoist Xiao brought Chong Jing into the hall, he saw the dejected Black Dragon, who seemed to have suffered many blows.
Taoist Xiao didn't dare to comment and just pretended not to see it. He just walked over to Jing and pulled his clothes, asking with his eyes if the Immortal Jin Ting had punished him.
Officer Cai Lei slowly shook his head, and Chong Jing didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Taoist Xiao had already greeted the Immortal Jin Ting when he heard him say, "Chong Jingfei has practiced the Dragon God Transformation well. Your Shenjing Palace has a successor. I plan to pass the Golden Palace to him as well."
Taoist Xiao was immediately surprised and asked, "Is the Immortal no longer staying here?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I don't know when I can come out of seclusion. Even if I do, I won't stay in West Dongting Mountain for long. It would be a shame to leave this Golden Palace empty. I'll hand it over to Chong Jing and Cai Leiguan to take care of it in the future. It will be a good thing to return it to its rightful place."
Now not only Taoist Xiao was surprised, but even Cai Leiguan was anxious.
The Thunder Officer suddenly remembered something extremely important and blurted out, "Since the Great Immortal is not here, could you please unlock the secrets of my Dragon Ball and set me free?"
The Immortal Jin Ting slowly opened his narrow eyes, looked into the eyes of the Thunder Officer, and asked, "What do you think?"
Officer Cai Lei felt the murderous intent, shuddered, and dared not mention it again.
Chong Jing didn't dare to chime in. Jin Ting Daxian was nice sometimes, but he was a bit too overbearing, and nothing he said or did could be contradicted.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Inside the temple is the Ten Thousand Dragons Painting left by Xue Daoqing. You already know about it. I moved in there and used the moonlight to make offerings. Every time the moon is full, it has its own wonders."
"This idiot will stay in Shenjing Palace. Please ask Chong Jing to take care of him. Come back and summon him after I come out of seclusion."
The fool was indignant and felt insulted. He wanted to refute but didn't dare.
But Taoist Xiao and Chong Jing were both very happy, and their faces were full of smiles.
Taoist Xiao assured, "Don't worry, Great Immortal, we will take good care of the Thunder Officer."
Chong Jing held onto Cai Leiguan, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing, which was really ugly. Cai Leiguan covered his face with his hand, and he couldn't get away no matter how hard he struggled.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I will teach you a Taoist method. You can practice with peace of mind for the time being and wait for me to come out of seclusion."
As he spoke, the Immortal Jin Ting had weathered away and turned into ink, which fell again on the letter, but there was only a signature and nothing else.
