Chapter 138

After leaving the East Sea, Daoist Duobao made his way toward Mount Kunlun.

Treading on auspicious clouds, his figure moving like the wind, he was quite the agile fat man.

Along the way, wind and clouds swept past him rapidly, and mountains and plains retreated swiftly beneath his feet.

Daoist Duobao kept his gaze fixed straight in the direction of Mount Kunlun.

As his speed increased, the auspicious clouds beneath his feet seemed to transform into a streak of light, flying toward Mount Kunlun.

After a while, he arrived at Mount Kunlun, the mountain gate of the Chan Sect, and stated his purpose.

The disciples guarding the gate immediately went to report.

Antarctic Immortal had left, and Yuanshi Tianzun was in the midst of summoning the Twelve Golden Immortals to discuss the matter of Shen Gongbao and the current situation of the Investiture of the Gods.

During the discussion, the White Crane Boy entered.

"Master, the gate-guarding disciples report that Daoist Duobao of the Jie Sect has come to our Kunlun to seek an audience."

Upon hearing that Daoist Duobao was seeking an audience, the Twelve Golden Immortals were all in an uproar.

"Why has Duobao come to Mount Kunlun? Does he not know that our Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are as incompatible as fire and water?" Chijingzi asked in confusion.

Juliusun spoke up.

"Teacher, the three sects are currently involved in the Investiture of the Gods. Duobao coming at this time certainly bodes no good. Why don't we go and drive him away? While we're at it, we can teach Duobao a lesson, humiliate him properly, and make the Jie Sect lose face."

Master Lingbao stepped forward and chimed in, "Brother Juliusun is right. Duobao is the nominal eldest senior brother of the Jie Sect. If we humiliate Duobao severely, we will surely be able to infuriate that group of fur-clad and horn-wearing beings of the Jie Sect."

"What you brothers say is reasonable."

The Twelve Golden Immortals spoke one after another, all wanting to go and humiliate Daoist Duobao.

Yuanshi Tianzun was silent for a moment, then said, "Duobao is the chief disciple of the Jie Sect. He has come to visit Jade Void Palace; my Jade Void Palace is not so small as to be unable to accommodate him. Otherwise, if Tongtian finds out, he might think I am small-minded. Let Duobao come over."

"As you command." The White Crane Boy bowed slightly and retreated.

He arrived at the foot of the mountain and bowed to Daoist Duobao.

"Uncle Duobao, the Master has agreed to see you. Follow me."

Daoist Duobao wore his usual kind smile.

"I have troubled you, Nephew White Crane."

Inside Jade Void Palace.

The Twelve Golden Immortals were waiting impatiently, all wanting to see what Daoist Duobao had come to Jade Void Palace for.

After a moment, the White Crane Boy and Daoist Duobao entered together from outside.

After the White Crane Boy requested instructions, he withdrew.

Daoist Duobao stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully, "Duobao pays his respects to the Second Uncle."

Before Yuanshi Tianzun could speak, the Twelve Golden Immortals began to attack Daoist Duobao.

"Duobao, why have you come to Kunlun?"

"Do you really think we dare not do anything to you?"

Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "Do not be impatient, brothers. I wish to report this matter personally to the Second Uncle."

Seeing that Daoist Duobao ignored them, the Twelve Golden Immortals were a bit angry.

But seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was watching, they did not dare to argue further and had to quiet down.

Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly.

"Duobao, why have you come to Jade Void Palace? Was it my third brother who sent you?"

Duobao was Tongtian's first disciple and also the first disciple among the Three Pure Ones.

When Tongtian took Duobao in, the Three Pure Ones had not yet separated, and neither Yuanshi Tianzun nor Taishang Laojun had taken disciples, so they would occasionally offer guidance to Duobao, the junior.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun did not actually dislike Daoist Duobao.

Daoist Duobao said respectfully, "In reply to the Second Uncle, I did not come here under the instruction of my Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then what is the meaning of your coming to Mount Kunlun?"

Daoist Duobao said, "In reply to the Second Uncle, the Jade Void Palace traitor Shen Gongbao was executed by my Jie Sect disciples in the East Sea. Thinking that the Jade Void Palace had issued a Three Realms wanted order for Shen Gongbao not long ago, and that he was once a disciple of the Chan Sect, I felt that, in terms of both reason and sentiment, I should come to inform you."

"I have also brought Shen Gongbao's head and his remaining belongings, so that the Jade Void Palace may deal with them, and it may also serve as a warning to the later disciples of the Chan Sect."

As he spoke, Daoist Duobao took out Shen Gongbao's head and his belongings.

Looking at Shen Gongbao's head and belongings on the tray held by Daoist Duobao, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly.

But the Chan Sect had indeed issued a Three Realms wanted order for Shen Gongbao.

Daoist Duobao had been very humble from beginning to end, so he could not say much.

However, the malice revealed by the Twelve Golden Immortals was not concealed in the slightest.

"Duobao, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that there will be more people in our Chan Sect who will betray the sect?"
