Chapter 308: Obtaining the God-Slaying Spear, Zhao Gongming Arrives

Facing the anger of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Duobao smiled indifferently.

"Fellow junior brothers, I know it is painful for you that a traitor has appeared in the Chan Sect. Now that Shen Gongbao has been executed, I hope you will restrain your grief. But where there is one traitor, there may be a second; there is no guarantee that others will not follow in his footsteps."

Daoist Duobao's words were calm, but they were full of implications, and the Twelve Golden Immortals were all burning with rage.

Guang Chengzi said: "Duobao, stop trying to sow discord here."

Daoist Duobao remained composed, a smile always hanging on his face: "Junior Brother Guang Chengzi, you have misunderstood. My intention was to inform you all to take this as a warning. You wouldn't want the Chan Sect to suffer the shame of another traitor, would you?"

Guang Chengzi sneered, his laughter full of disdain: "What a joke. My Chan Sect disciples are of one heart; stop slandering us here. Duobao, if you have the spare time, you had better manage your Jie Sect well. Your Jie Sect disciples only cultivate magic power and not virtue; they are all crooked in their ways and are not worthy of being compared to my Chan Sect disciples."

Duobao shook his head gently and sighed: "Alas, not long ago, the matter of our sect's Dingguangxian betraying the sect was discovered, and my Jie Sect has already been rectifying itself. The recent successive decrees from the Sect Master are because of this. I came to Kunlun today with good intentions, not wanting the Chan Sect to repeat the same mistakes and have more traitors. Junior Brother Guang Chengzi, as the head of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void, I thought you would understand this point. It seems I overestimated you."

Guang Chengzi was slandered to his face by Duobao and was furious.

"You bastard, Duobao, this is Kunlun, not Jinao Island. Do you think we wouldn't dare do anything to you?"

Facing Guang Chengzi's threat, Daoist Duobao said unhurriedly: "I naturally know this is Kunlun, but Second Uncle-Master is here. Second Uncle-Master is of high virtue and prestige, fair and selfless; how could he allow you to act recklessly?"

Yuanshi Tianzun was the number one person in the Investiture of the Gods for protecting his own.

Duobao's words were a bit harsh and had angered the Twelve Golden Immortals.

He had originally wanted to punish Duobao to regain face for his disciples, but hearing Duobao's flattery, he found it difficult to challenge him and had to let it go.

Duobao remained calm and composed, and the Twelve Golden Immortals were increasingly annoyed, but Yuanshi Tianzun had not expressed his stance, so they could not act out.

Meanwhile, Duobao stole a glance at Yuanshi Tianzun and saw no movement.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuanshi Tianzun was famous for protecting his own, and he had been worried about angering him at first, but now it seemed his flattery had worked well.

Seeing that he had angered the Twelve Golden Immortals enough, Daoist Duobao intended to withdraw and said with a pained expression.

"I came with good intentions to remind you, with no other meaning, but I did not expect to anger you all. Shen Gongbao's head and relics have been delivered. Since you all do not welcome me, I shall take my leave."

Then, he looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and bowed slightly, respectful yet dignified.

"Second Uncle-Master, now that this matter is settled, this disciple will return to Jinao Island to report to my Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the cloud bed, pondering for a moment, and believed from the bottom of his heart that Duobao's visit to Kunlun this time must have been instigated by Tongtian.

The purpose was to provoke.

But since the Jade Void Palace had already issued a decree to the Three Realms regarding Shen Gongbao being a traitor of the Chan Sect, he could not vent his anger on Duobao because of Shen Gongbao's matter.

He spoke slowly.

"Give my regards to my third brother."

"Second Uncle-Master, rest assured, this disciple will." Daoist Duobao bowed slightly and exited the Jade Void Palace.

After Daoist Duobao left, the Twelve Golden Immortals no longer restrained themselves.

Master Huanglong cursed sharply: "This Duobao is clearly here to provoke us. How unreasonable."

Master Taiyi's gaze was cold: "Does he really think there is no one in our Chan Sect? Teacher even allowed us to teach Duobao a lesson."

"Damn it, that wretch Shen Gongbao, making us lose so much face." Daoxing Tianzun also couldn't help but curse.

The Twelve Golden Immortals were all filled with righteous indignation.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at them from the cloud bed and spoke slowly: "Stay calm. Duobao is the nominal eldest disciple of the Jie Sect and is not as vulnerable as other Jie Sect disciples. You are no match for him. It would be fine if you won, but if you lost, where would the face of our Chan Sect be?"

"Besides, he came to return Shen Gongbao's head and relics. If we attack him now, wouldn't we be a laughingstock?"

Currently, large-scale conflicts had not yet broken out between the two sects, and Yuanshi Tianzun still cared about his reputation.

"Teacher's lesson is correct, it was this disciple who was rash." The Twelve Golden Immortals said in unison.

Seeing that the Twelve Golden Immortals had listened, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly.

Guang Chengzi stepped forward to ask.

"Teacher, Shen Gongbao was an important part of our Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods to lure Jie Sect disciples onto the list, but now that Shen Gongbao is already on the list, what should we do?"

Yuanshi Tianzun narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression calm yet carrying a depth that was hard to fathom, and said slowly: "The Investiture of the Gods was formulated by the Dao Ancestor. Even I cannot take the true spirits on the list out of the Investiture of the Gods to resurrect them. Fortunately, although Shen Gongbao is already on the list, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods has not yet reached a conclusion, and the situation is still under our control. We can think of other ways..."

As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun thought of the two Western Saints.

Jieyin and Zhunti had previously planted pawns in the Jie Sect; perhaps they had some good ideas.

On the other side.

Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu was waiting for news.

The notification sound of the system task completion suddenly rang out.

"Ding!"

"Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: God-Slaying Spear!"

With the reward in hand, Gu Xiu was full of joy and couldn't put the God-Slaying Spear down.

"It seems Duobao has completed the task, and the God-Slaying Spear is now in my hands."

There were many rumors about the God-Slaying Spear, but no one had obtained it except Luo Hou.

So Gu Xiu planned to go to the seaside to experience the God-Slaying Spear.

But just as he arrived outside Three Immortals Island, he noticed a powerful aura coming this way.

Looking over, a middle-aged man with a golden crown, a burly figure, and thick, slanted eyebrows was riding a black tiger toward him.

The person arriving had his brows tightly locked, looking absent-minded.

Gu Xiu spoke first: "Who is the fellow Daoist? Do you have business coming to my Three Immortals Island?"

Gu Xiu's voice woke the other person up. Noticing Gu Xiu's presence, the middle-aged cultivator asked.

"Who are you? This Three Immortals Island is the dojo of my three younger sisters; when did it become yours?" ===== CHAPTER 309 =====
