Chapter 307: Delivering Shen Gongbao
After leaving the East Sea, Daoist Duobao traveled all the way toward Mount Kunlun.
Treading on auspicious clouds, his figure swift as the wind, he was quite the agile fat man.
Along the way, clouds and winds swept past him rapidly, and the mountains and earth retreated swiftly beneath his feet.
Daoist Duobao kept his gaze fixed straight toward 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 just gathering 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 request an audience."
Upon hearing that Daoist Duobao requested an audience, the Twelve Golden Immortals were in an uproar.
"What is Duobao doing coming to Mount Kunlun? Does he not know that our Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are at odds like 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 surely bodes no good. Shall 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 echoed, "Senior Brother Juliusun is right. Duobao is the nominal eldest senior brother of the Jie Sect. If we humiliate Duobao severely, we can certainly anger those fur-clad, horn-bearing creatures of the Jie Sect to death."
"What the fellow disciples 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. Since he has come to visit the Jade Void Palace, my Jade Void Palace is not so small as to be unable to accommodate him. Otherwise, if Tongtian finds out, he will think I am narrow-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-Master Duobao, the Master has agreed to see you. Follow me."
Daoist Duobao wore his usual kind smile.
"Thank you, Nephew-Disciple White Crane."
Inside the Jade Void Palace.
The Twelve Golden Immortals were waiting impatiently, all wanting to see what Daoist Duobao had come to the Jade Void Palace for.
A moment later, the White Crane Boy and Daoist Duobao entered together from outside.
After the White Crane Boy requested instructions, he retreated.
Daoist Duobao stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully, "Duobao pays respects to Second Uncle-Master."
Before Yuanshi Tianzun could speak, the Twelve Golden Immortals began to challenge Daoist Duobao.
"Duobao, what are you doing in Kunlun?"
"Do you really think we wouldn't dare do anything to you?"
Daoist Duobao laughed: "Fellow junior brothers, do not be impatient. I wish to report this matter personally to Second Uncle-Master."
Seeing that Daoist Duobao ignored them, the Twelve Golden Immortals were a bit angry.
But seeing Yuanshi Tianzun watching all the while, they did not dare to argue further and had to quiet down.
Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly.
"Duobao, what are you doing in the 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 have any dislike for Daoist Duobao.
Daoist Duobao said respectfully, "In reply to Second Uncle-Master, this visit was not instructed by my Master."
Yuanshi Tianzun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then what is the purpose of your coming to Mount Kunlun?"
Daoist Duobao said: "In reply to Second Uncle-Master, 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 arrest warrant for Shen Gongbao not long ago, and that he was once a disciple of the Chan Sect, I felt it was only right and reasonable to come and inform you."
"I have also brought Shen Gongbao's head and his relics, so that the Jade Void Palace may handle 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 relics.
Looking at Shen Gongbao's head and relics on the tray Daoist Duobao was holding, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly.
But the Chan Sect had indeed issued a Three Realms arrest warrant 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 traitors in our Chan Sect?" ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
