Chapter 247

Since he had finally come out, Gu Xiu planned to do everything he needed to do.

"Wen Zhong has been out suppressing rebellions for a long time, and I don't know how it's going. Let's go and see..."

Passing through the fiefs of several rebellious feudal lords, he found many demons mixed in among them.

Gu Xiu looked down at the scene below.

He thought to himself: "The Chan Sect, in order to bring disaster to the Yin-Shang, used some demons to make trouble, mixed in among them. I guess they had the help of the Western Sect. Committing so much karma, no wonder after the Investiture of the Gods, they were willing to let the West come to preach."

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"In order to save the Twelve Golden Immortals and eliminate the killing calamity on their bodies, they really stopped at nothing..."

"Even at the cost of supporting the Western Zhou to replace the Emperor's status to pay back the Heavenly Court's karma just to protect the Twelve Golden Immortals. I have to say, Yuanshi is shameless enough when it comes to protecting his own."

"Of course, the key is that the Grandmaster is too honest and trusted his two brothers too much. He didn't expect them to collude with outsiders to deal with him. If he had seen the true faces of his two brothers earlier and acted sooner, he wouldn't have been so passive."

Gu Xiu shook his head and sighed.

After visiting several more feudal fiefs, he finally found the army led by Wen Zhong.

At this time, Wen Zhong was riding the Ink Qilin, his expression majestic, commanding the army to fight against the rebellious feudal lords.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sounds of shouting and screaming were intertwined.

He saw many demons mixed in the rebel army, charging and crashing.

Their bodies radiated an evil aura.

Wen Zhong shouted, rode the Ink Qilin to charge up, and the double whips in his hands danced with a momentum like a rainbow. Like a god of war, he led the army to charge, and wherever he went, the demons in the rebel army fell one after another.

Gu Xiu stood above the clouds, looking down at the battlefield below with a calm gaze.

He said indifferently: "The Yin-Shang is able to hold on for so long thanks to Wen Zhong."

Gu Xiu did not intend to help. Unless there was a generous reward, he would just watch quietly.

Under Wen Zhong's leadership, the rebellious feudal lords were killed and fled in panic.

It was only when Wen Zhong returned to the camp that Gu Xiu chose to visit.

The Water-Fire Qilin pulled the colorful treasure chariot and appeared above the military camp, which, like last time, caused a commotion in the camp.

Wen Zhong noticed the movement outside and walked out, looking up.

He saw the Water-Fire Qilin and Gu Xiu sitting on the treasure chariot.

He was slightly stunned and bowed: "Junior Brother, why are you here?"

Gu Xiu looked calm and relaxed: "I came out for a tour, passed by this place, and saw the Grand Preceptor here suppressing the rebellion, so I specifically came over to say hello."

"So that's how it is. I wonder if Junior Brother has time; I have some things I would like to ask."

Gu Xiu nodded: "Naturally, no problem."

"Thank you," Wen Zhong bowed.

After going into the military camp, Gu Xiu asked: "Grand Preceptor, you called me over; is there anything important you want to tell me?"

Wen Zhong's expression was slightly condensed: "Junior Brother, currently the various feudal lords are rebelling, and one can see the appearance of many demons in them. Is it related to the Chan Sect?"

Wen Zhong still remembered the trip to the North Sea vividly. If it were really related to the Chan Sect, he, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, would not be able to handle it at all.

Gu Xiu sighed softly: "Grand Preceptor, you should have the answer in your heart; why ask me? This matter cannot be separated from the Chan Sect. In order to achieve their goals, they stop at nothing, using demons to bring disaster to the world, attempting to overthrow the Yin-Shang world."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong gripped the double whips on his body tightly and gritted his teeth: "The Chan Sect's actions are truly intolerable by the laws of heaven!"

Then, he asked Gu Xiu: "I wonder if Junior Brother has any countermeasures?"

Gu Xiu shook his head: "Cutting ties with Cheng Tang, resigning from the position of Grand Preceptor, and returning to Mount Jin'ao to focus on cultivation is the most correct approach."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong felt a bit conflicted.

"I was entrusted by the late king; how can I leave at this time..."

It was as if he was asking Gu Xiu, but in reality, he was also asking himself.

Gu Xiu remained indifferent: "That is why I told you when I was in the North Sea. Now you have long regarded yourself as the Grand Preceptor of the Yin-Shang, more than a disciple of the Jie Sect. So when the Yin-Shang faces survival, please find a way yourself and do not implicate the sect. If you ever go back to the sect for help, I will definitely not spare you."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong's expression was complex: "Junior Brother, rest assured, if it really comes to the last resort, I will not implicate the sect."

Although he got Wen Zhong's guarantee, Gu Xiu did not believe it at all.

……

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the auspicious clouds, surrounded by laws, turning into various terrifying visions.

Antarctic Immortal Weng stood to one side, his expression respectful: "Teacher, we have already framed Di Xin for the killing of Bo Yikao. Now Ji Chang already has the heart to raise the banner of rebellion."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, his expression indifferent: "Very good. Continue to send people to pressure Ji Chang so that he has no choice but to rebel."

"Teacher, please rest assured. Although there have been some changes, Ji Chang has always been following our arrangements."

"Wait until Ji Fa completes the handover, then there will be no need to keep Ji Chang," Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was extremely indifferent.

Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Ziya.

"Jiang Ziya has been down the mountain for some time. When he sees the people in the mortal world living in misery and the feudal lords rebelling, and knows that the Yin-Shang's fortune is coming to an end, he can obediently go to the Investiture of the Gods."

"Teacher is wise," Antarctic Immortal Weng bowed.

Suddenly, a golden text flew in from outside and landed in the hands of Antarctic Immortal Weng.

After absorbing the information, Antarctic Immortal Weng's face slightly condensed.

Sensing that Antarctic was not right, Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

"Antarctic, has something happened?"

Antarctic lowered his head slightly: "Teacher, just now information came from Xiqi that Di Xin suddenly sent a group of people with gifts to Xiqi to offer condolences."

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently: "This matter cannot affect the overall situation, but since they have come, don't let them go back."

"Teacher, rest assured, leave this matter to this disciple."

……

The peaks were towering, covered by clouds and mist.

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya stood in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by ancient trees reaching the sky, and spiritual birds and exotic beasts shuttling between them.

Shen Gongbao specifically brought Jiang Ziya from East Kunlun to West Kunlun.

Since they wouldn't let him preside over the Investiture of the Gods, he didn't want Jiang Ziya to go either.

He wanted to make Yuanshi regret the decision to expel him from the sect and drive him down the mountain.

Shen Gongbao looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he spoke first: "Senior Brother Jiang, the spiritual energy here is rich, which is perfect for our cave dwelling."

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "Junior Brother is right."

"Senior Brother, watch closely."

After saying that, Shen Gongbao operated his magic power and blasted toward the mountain wall.

Only a loud "Boom—" was heard, and the mountain rocks collapsed and flew, with dust and smoke rolling.

Jiang Ziya was just a mortal, so it was not his turn to do things like opening a cave dwelling, so he had to watch.

Shen Gongbao also liked to show off his learning in front of Jiang Ziya.

He cast spells to condense the collapsed stones together, turning them into the foundation of the cave dwelling.

As time passed, the prototype of the cave dwelling gradually appeared.

The interior was spacious and bright, with spiritual energy swirling.

Shen Gongbao was panting with exhaustion, but still full of excitement: "Senior Brother, look at this cave dwelling; it must be an excellent place for cultivation."

Jiang Ziya responded with a smile: "Thanks to Junior Brother, but it still needs to be arranged to be perfect."

So, the two of them searched for spiritual wood everywhere, made tables, chairs, and beds, collected spiritual herbs, decorated the surroundings of the cave dwelling, and set up defensive arrays at the entrance of the cave dwelling to prevent foreign enemies from invading.

After several days of hard work, a brand-new cave dwelling was finally completed.

Outside the cave dwelling, clouds and mist swirled, like a fairyland;

Inside the cave dwelling, it was properly arranged and full of immortal spiritual energy.

Shen Gongbao said: "Senior Brother Jiang, you used to do miscellaneous work like watering and planting in the Jade Void Palace. Now that you are a loose cultivator, you can focus on cultivation."

"Indeed," Jiang Ziya recalled his life in the Jade Void Palace.

Doing miscellaneous work was really a waste of time.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have failed to become an immortal after forty years of cultivation in the Saint's sect.

"Junior Brother Shen, I heard that the main force of West Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West Palace. I don't know where the Queen Mother of the West Palace is. I will try to avoid it in the future so as not to offend some female immortals."

Shen Gongbao laughed: "Senior Brother, rest assured, our cave dwelling is not within the scope of the Queen Mother of the West Palace. As long as Senior Brother doesn't go too far, you won't encounter the female immortals of the Queen Mother of the West Palace."

Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can rest assured."
