Chapter 165

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had a relatively urgent temper. After listening to Gu Xiu's words, she calmed down.

"Junior Brother, you said the Chan Sect intends to use Wen Zhong to let my Jie Sect fall into a trap so they have a reason to take action against us?"

Gu Xiu nodded slightly.

Thinking of the Investiture of the Gods, he didn't tell the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit much.

He had to explain patiently.

"Senior Sister, everything the Chan Sect is doing now is to complete the Investiture of the Gods, otherwise they wouldn't waste time supporting Xiqi and overthrowing the Yin Shang."

"Wen Zhong is the disciple of Senior Uncle Jin Ling. Under normal circumstances, being blocked by the Chan Sect when attacking Xiqi, he would definitely return to Jinao Island for help."

"My Jie Sect disciples are all very united. If Wen Zhong comes to invite, we will definitely go to help. This is exactly what the Chan Sect wants to see. At that time, we can logically send the Jie Sect disciples who went to help on the list."

"Then other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters know the news and will definitely go down the mountain to seek justice and revenge. This cycle repeats, one by one going to send heads, being defeated by the Chan Sect one by one, filling the list."

Hearing this, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit frowned slightly, her eyes revealing thought.

"I didn't expect Junior Brother to think of this step. No wonder my Master wants to ask your opinion about the Investiture of the Gods."

"But if we don't go to rescue, wouldn't Wen Zhong be in danger? He is the disciple of Senior Uncle Jin Ling. If something happens to him, Senior Uncle Jin Ling will definitely not ignore it."

Gu Xiu's lips curled up slightly, smiling indifferently: "Senior Uncle Jin Ling has profound cultivation and a heart beyond the world. If it doesn't involve the survival of the Jie Sect, she will not take action rashly."

"Wen Zhong is foolishly loyal, wholeheartedly for the Yin Shang, and has long regarded himself as the Grand Preceptor of the Yin Shang rather than a Jie Sect disciple. But for the sake of Senior Uncle Jin Ling, I will take action to save his life at the critical moment, so Senior Sister doesn't have to worry."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit's eyes were confused, and she asked curiously: "I don't know, Junior Brother, how do you intend to do it?"

Facing the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit's gaze, Gu Xiu smiled: "Very simple, your Master gave me a Universe Bag before. I will put Wen Zhong in it when the time comes, and let him out after the calamity passes."

"Junior Brother, don't tease me. Are you sure this is a good idea?" This idea was too simple and rude, making the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit feel like he was joking.

Gu Xiu said very solemnly: "Of course, does Senior Sister feel that there is something inappropriate?"

"This..." Seeing Gu Xiu's serious look, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit knew he wasn't joking. After thinking carefully, there was nothing inappropriate, just that the method was relatively rude.

"Junior Brother, you have to be careful. I can't guarantee whether Senior Uncle Jin Ling will be angry if she knows you put her disciple in the Universe Bag and come to settle the account with you."

Gu Xiu's expression was indifferent, and he smiled gently: "I only told Senior Sister about this. If Senior Sister doesn't tell Senior Uncle Jin Ling, won't it be fine?"

"And Senior Uncle Jin Ling is the head of my Jie Sect's female immortals and understands reason. Even if she knows, I believe she won't say anything. Maybe she will even praise me for saving her disciple's life."

Seeing Gu Xiu's confident look, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit smiled helplessly: "I hope everything is as Junior Brother said. I will return to Jinao Island to reply to my Master."

"Respectfully send Senior Sister off, Senior Sister walk slowly."

Watching the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit leave on auspicious clouds, Gu Xiu smiled indifferently.

"Should no one come to disturb me now?"

Knowing the current situation in Xiqi, Gu Xiu stopped paying attention.

Sitting on the reef, looking at the vast and boundless sea in front of him.

The waves surged, the sea wind howled, and the waves surged one after another, hitting the reef, splashing white waves.

When he was alone, Gu Xiu remembered the days of seeking immortality and asking for the Dao.

Walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, just wanting to find an immortal to cultivate, he didn't expect to meet Yun Xiao of the Three Xiao sisters.

Is this a coincidence, or is it destined?

His thoughts drifted, memories flooded his heart, and Gu Xiu sighed softly.

Seeing the sun set, he got up and intended to go back.

Suddenly, the system sounded.

"Ding!"

"The Four Generals of the Mo family won a great victory in Xiqi, helping Wen Zhong, winning consecutive victories, attracting the attention of the Chan Sect. The Twelve Golden Immortals will take the field, triggering an event option. Please make a choice, host."

"Option 1: Go to Xiqi to help Wen Zhong, defeat the Twelve Golden Immortals, reward one drop of Pangu essence blood!"

"Option 2: Avoid getting involved in the trap designed by the Chan Sect, do not involve the disputes of the mortal dynasty, find an excuse to intercept and defeat the incoming Twelve Golden Immortals halfway, indirectly helping Wen Zhong, reward one fragment of the Creation Jade Plate!"

Looking at the options that appeared in front of him, Gu Xiu pondered slightly.

The first option, rewarding one drop of Pangu essence blood, was quite tempting.

But if he got involved in the dispute in Xiqi, he would fall into the Chan Sect's scheme.

A mere Yin Shang and Xiqi are not worth taking risks for the Jie Sect to exclude directly.

When he saw the second option, actually rewarding a fragment of the Creation Jade Plate.

Gu Xiu's eyes lit up.

Creation Jade Plate, a supreme treasure of Chaos, carrying the laws of the three thousand Great Daos.

But it couldn't withstand the resistance of opening the sky and shattered.

One of the largest fragments was found by Hongjun.

Hongjun could have this achievement, also thanks to the Creation Jade Plate in his hand.

If he could get a fragment to comprehend and assist in cultivation, it would be enough to comprehend more laws from it.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu silently recited in his heart.

"System, I choose two!"

"Ding!"

"Choice successful. Task time limit is half a month. Please complete it as soon as possible, host. Once the deadline passes, the task will be void!"

Receiving the task, he obtained information in his brain, knowing that it was the True Monarch of Pure Void Morality, who intended to go to Xiqi to help Jiang Ziya defeat the Four Generals of the Mo family.

"True Monarch of Pure Void Morality?" Gu Xiu frowned slightly and thought: "I must find a good excuse to beat up the True Monarch of Pure Void Morality, and I cannot let the Chan Sect find an excuse to bite back."

"The Chan Sect wants to use Wen Zhong to lure Jie Sect disciples down the mountain to participate in mortal disputes, so they can defeat them one by one."

"In this way, the Jie Sect can conversely keep beating the Twelve Golden Immortals, angering the Twelve Golden Immortals, letting them come to find trouble, so they can be sent on the list."
