Chapter 211: Clearing obstacles in advance, seizing the Falling Treasure Money

Three Immortals Island.

Because Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao were not as unconcerned about their image as Bi Xiao.

Gu Xiu cut out the crane meat and placed it on a plate.

"Master, Junior Uncle Qiong Xiao, please taste it."

Yun Xiao picked up a piece of meat, tasted it in small bites, and nodded.

"It's indeed not bad."

Seeing this, Qiong Xiao also stretched out her slender jade hand, took a small piece, and ate it gracefully.

"It seems Third Sister was not lying, it's really delicious."

Gu Xiu was surrounded by three beautiful figures, each with their own style.

Yun Xiao was dignified and quiet, Qiong Xiao was cold and moving, and Bi Xiao was lively and playful.

Since coming to Three Immortals Island, he found that Qiong Xiao spoke less and belonged to the cold and aloof type. It was rare to hear praise, which surprised Gu Xiu.

However, happy times are always short.

Before he knew it, night fell, the stars were twinkling, and the crane meat had been eaten up.

The Three Xiao Sisters also returned. When Bi Xiao returned, she even brought an immortal crane back.

Because he was too full, Gu Xiu leaned against a tree, satisfied, burped, and thought about the Investiture of the Gods.

Due to his intervention, many things had changed.

Since Su Daji entered the palace, she hadn't harmed the Queen until now.

As for the later matters, he would let Wen Zhong worry about them after he returned.

He only cared about how to make the Jie Sect win in the Investiture of the Gods, and save the Three Xiao Sisters and some important disciples of the Jie Sect first.

The moonlight shone on his face, but it couldn't hide Gu Xiu's attachment to his current life, so Gu Xiu couldn't let the damn Investiture of the Gods destroy his current life.

"I remember there were several rogue cultivators who, in order to be on the list, took the initiative to get involved in the Investiture of the Gods to assist the Chan Sect. Since there is nothing to do recently, I will start with those few rogue cultivators."

"Although you haven't taken action yet, for my own sake, I can only stifle you and this number of heaven in the cradle in advance."

The next day.

Gu Xiu left Three Immortals Island, intending to go to Mount Wuyi to find Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. He had to get the Falling Treasure Money in their hands, otherwise Zhao Gongming would fall to the Falling Treasure Money in the future.

On the other side.

Eight of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void, because their mounts were stolen by Gu Xiu and roasted to eat.

They returned from Mount Kunlun with solemn faces, returning to their respective cave dwellings, vowing to find the thief who stole the immortal cranes.

But Gu Xiu didn't leave any evidence at all.

Every Golden Immortal used all means in their own dojo, but in the end, they couldn't find a clue or a trace.

Soon the other eight immortals gathered together again.

"My cave dwelling is completely normal, and I can't find half a trace of the thief." Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun broke the silence first, his voice full of resentment.

Hearing this, Guangchengzi opened his mouth: "I am the same, the thief is very cunning, leaving no half a trace."

Looking at everyone's expressions, they all shook their heads.

Puxian Zhenren thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very strange. Our eight immortal cranes disappeared together. It is obvious that this person knew we were not in the cave dwelling. Could it be a thief from the Jie Sect?"

"There is this possibility, but the Jie Sect disciples are far away in the East Sea, yet they know our whereabouts like the back of their hand, which is a bit unreasonable."

"Why don't we ask the teacher to perform a deduction?"

"Okay."

Guangchengzi and others immediately went to the Jade Void Palace on Mount Kunlun to visit Yuanshi Tianzun.

For the eight of the Twelve Golden Immortals to come to see him together.

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently, his face without any extra expression.

"Guangchengzi, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"

"Teacher, when we came to Mount Kunlun, the immortal cranes in our dojos were stolen and have been harmed, but we cannot find the murderer, so we implore you, Teacher, to take action and deduce who the thief is."

Yuanshi Tianzun's face could not see joy or anger, only indifference.

"This matter is related to the Jie Sect."

"Sure enough, it's a Jie Sect thief. I don't know who it is in the Jie Sect." Guangchengzi was angry.

Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes slightly.

"Heavenly secrets are obscure, unable to investigate."

Hearing this, Guangchengzi didn't dare to ask any more questions and saluted and retreated.

Primordial land.

Mount Wuyi, majestic and vast, winding and undulating.

The mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dream.

This place is a blessed land for immortals, and many rogue cultivators have opened cave dwellings here, and the cave dwellings of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are in Mount Wuyi.

Gu Xiu came here specifically to find them.

On a towering peak, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were sitting opposite each other, focusing on the chess game in front of them.

Xiao Sheng's green shirt fluttered in the wind, his expression focused, holding a chess piece in his hand, pondering slightly, thinking about where to place the next piece.

Cao Bao's eyes were bright, and a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth, as if he had already had a plan for the chess game.

"Brother Xiao, playing chess on this

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, "Brother Cao, what opportunity for a turnaround?"

"I heard that the world is facing another great calamity. This calamity involves the Saint's orthodoxy. Disciples of the three sects will enter the calamity; those who die will be on the list and can enter the Heavenly Court to be ranked among the immortals."

"Isn't this the business of the three sects? What does it have to do with us?"

"Brother Xiao, we can make connections with the three sects and get involved in the calamity, can't we?"

Xiao Sheng hesitated in his eyes: "But we have to die to be on the list. Won't this be dangerous?"

"Brother Xiao, for us cultivators, the physical body is just a skin bag; what is there to be reluctant about? Our origins are inferior and our fortune is shallow; we can only reach the True Immortal stage in our entire lives. Unless you really want to be a rogue cultivator for your whole life?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Sheng was also a bit tempted: "Brother Cao, what brilliant plan do you have?"

"The brilliant plan lies in the Treasure-Falling Money in your hands, Brother Xiao. As long as we save people from the three sects, they will have karma with us. If we express our willingness to help them, they naturally won't dare to refuse."

While the two were discussing how to get involved in the Investiture of the Gods of the three sects, Gu Xiu suddenly appeared, watching them with a cold expression.

"I'm afraid your plan is going to fall through."

Suddenly someone broke in. Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao frowned and stood up.

Xiao Sheng bowed and asked, "I don't know who you are, fellow Daoist. What is the reason for coming to our cave dwelling this time?"

"The disciple of the three sects you are thinking of day and night." Gu Xiu spat out these words briefly.

The expressions of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao changed instantly.

Cao Bao bowed: "I don't know why you came here, Brother Daoist. Which of the three sects are you from?"

Gu Xiu ignored Cao Bao, his gaze falling on Xiao Sheng.

"Hand over the Treasure-Falling Money, and I can consider sparing your lives."

"You want the Treasure-Falling Money?"

Upon hearing that someone had come to snatch the Treasure-Falling Money, Xiao Sheng became vigilant.

"The Treasure-Falling Money is my magic treasure, Xiao's. You are a disciple of a Saint, yet you do such things of robbery. Are you not afraid of ruining the reputation of your sect and the Saint? Are you not afraid of being blamed by the Saint?"

Gu Xiu smiled and said indifferently: "I'm really not afraid."

The Jie Sect has always been scolded by the Chan Sect for having fur and horns; Gu Xiu didn't mind one more person scolding.

Besides, these two would soon be dead men.

At this moment, the system rang.

"Ding!"

"Detected that the Host has bumped into the matter of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao plotting to get involved in the Great Calamity of the three sects. Event options triggered. Please make a choice, Host."

"Option 1: Ignore this matter and leave now. No reward!"

"Option 2: Kill Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to seize the Treasure-Falling Money. Reward: Phantom Color Treasure Chariot!! (The entire chariot body is made of seven-colored glaze, with flowing light and endless changes. The flying chariot is surrounded by dreamlike rosy clouds, and the interior is filled with soft cloud cushions. Riding it feels like being in a gorgeous dream.)"

The system suddenly finished issuing the task and also rewarded a treasure chariot, which was exactly what Gu Xiu needed.

"System, I choose Option 2."

"Ding!"

"Selection successful. The mission time limit is one hour. It will be void after the deadline!"
