Chapter 23: Heading to Chaoge, Yun Zhongzi's failure to eliminate the demon

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes suddenly while meditating.

"It seems that another true spirit has entered the Investiture of the Gods list just now?"

There is a gap between the time of listing and the time of the Chan Sect's layout.

He was curious about who was on the list.

He raised his hand, and the Investiture of the Gods list appeared in his hand. He opened it and looked.

Seeing the name of the person on the list, Yuanshi Tianzun was a little surprised.

"Ding Guang Xian?"

He frowned.

"Could it be that Tong Tian has figured it out, knowing that his Jie Sect disciples are all people with fur and horns, wet and egg-born, only cultivating magic power and not cultivating virtue, with shallow fortune, and that it is a good fortune to be on the list?"

"If he really figured it out, that would be good. As long as the Twelve Golden Immortals can be protected, I can let bygones be bygones."

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti rushed over to pay respects outside the Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi was suspicious; what are these two doing here, but he still called them in.

As soon as they entered, Jieyin said: "Senior Brother Yuanshi, was there a true spirit on the Investiture of the Gods list just now?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's face was indifferent, but he was thinking about what Ding Guang Xian's listing had to do with them.

"There was indeed a true spirit on the list just now."

"Is it Ding Guang Xian?"

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly: "That's right."

Jieyin and Zhunti sighed that it was all because they climbed the clouds to Mount Kunlun, wanting to see if there was anyone with a connection to the West on the way, which led to this anomaly.

Putting their hands together, Jieyin said compassionately.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, Ding Guang Xian has a connection with our West and should not have been on the list, but he is now on the list. I am afraid that Tong Tian is not as simple as we thought. He has long been prepared, otherwise, anomalies would not have appeared one after another."

These words awakened Yuanshi Tianzun, who remembered the incident of snatching the Chan Sect's predetermined protector, and the incident of being rejected outside Biyou Palace when he went to Biyou Palace last time.

"Then two fellow Daoists, do you have any good ideas?"

Jieyin shook his head: "We don't know Tong Tian's layout yet, so it's hard to be prepared."

Zhunti echoed: "The Jie Sect is powerful. If Tong Tian is prepared, I am afraid there will be variables in the Investiture of the Gods."

Yuanshi Tianzun was arrogant and did not want to destroy his own prestige, so he snorted coldly.

"Tong Tian's Jie Sect is filthy, full of people who only cultivate magic power and not virtue. Even if he is prepared, can he withstand our joint efforts?"

Jieyin looked embarrassed and said earnestly: "That's what you say, but Senior Brother Yuanshi, it's always good for us to be careful."

Golden Turtle Island.

The matter of Ding Guang Xian having the heart to betray the sect, committing many evil deeds outside, and ruining the reputation of the Jie Sect, and being scattered of his primordial spirit by Tong Tian and expelled from the Jie Sect was announced to everyone.

All the disciples were extremely angry and wished they could tear Ding Guang Xian into ten thousand pieces.

But Gu Xiu did not participate and returned to the Three Immortals Island with the Three Xiao sisters.

On the Three Immortals Island.

Upon returning, the Three Xiao sisters surrounded Gu Xiu and praised him, making Gu Xiu embarrassed.

At this moment, the system sounded.

"Ding!"

"Yun Zhongzi is heading to Chaoge to eliminate the demon. An event option has been triggered; please make a choice, host."

"Option 1: Ignore it, let Yun Zhongzi hint to the civil and military officials that Su Daji is a demon, and let the situation develop; reward: 10,000 years of cultivation!"

"Option 2: Head to Chaoge, destroy Yun Zhongzi's plot, and avoid many ministers trying to find ways to eliminate the demon, which would anger Su Daji and cause them to lose their lives; reward: 100,000 Great Dao merits!"

Looking at the options in front of him, Gu Xiu didn't even have to think and directly chose the second option.

"Ding!"

"Choice successful, task time limit is five days; please complete the task as soon as possible, host."

Five days is enough to rush to Chaoge. He did not dare to delay, said goodbye to the Three Xiao sisters, returned to his residence to explain some things to Yang Jian and Yang Chan, and Gu Xiu set off for Chaoge.

Chaoge.

Yun Zhongzi had been in Chaoge for several days.

As soon as he arrived, he headed to the imperial palace, pretending to be a wandering Taoist, saying that there was a demon in the imperial palace, and requested to see Di Xin to eliminate the demon.

Unexpectedly, Di Xin did not meet him and even sent someone to drive him away.

The event developing in such a direction made Yun Zhongzi suspicious, so he stayed in Chaoge for a few days.

He discovered that Chaoge was not developing in the direction the Chan Sect had planned in advance.

King Zhou was neither muddleheaded nor dissolute, nor was he addicted to wine and women; although the common people had minor complaints, it had not reached the point of widespread resentment.

On the contrary, Di Xin went to the Nuwa Temple to offer incense and pray every day after the early morning court before returning to the palace.

This made Yun Zhongzi puzzled, and he intended to investigate to find the reason.

After inquiring for these few days and sneaking into the imperial palace to understand the situation, Yun Zhongzi roughly understood the reason why Di Xin did this.

Since the poem was written after offering incense at the Nuwa Temple, terrifying anomalies appeared over Chaoge City, and various rumors spread in Chaoge City.

And Di Xin would have nightmares every night, feeling mentally exhausted.

Only by going to the Nuwa Temple to repent every day could he sleep a little better.

Understanding the reason, Yun Zhongzi's face was solemn.

"The matter of Chaoge has changed. The fox demon did not confuse Di Xin at all. I must find a way, otherwise, I cannot explain it to the teacher."

Looking at the storytellers selling their arts on the street, and the people of all kinds talking about heaven and earth in the restaurants.

Yun Zhongzi had a flash of inspiration.

"Since I am not allowed to enter the imperial palace, I can spread the news in Chaoge that Su Daji is a demon, and that it is she who makes Di Xin increasingly thin and mentally exhausted. I will find a way to make the ministers aim their spears at Su Daji. In order to protect herself, the fox demon will definitely kill those ministers who target her, suspect her of being a demon, and want to eliminate the demon."

"At that time, the fortune of the Yin Shang will definitely be reduced, and my Chan Sect will have hope of winning in the Investiture of the Gods." ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
