Chapter 342: Contemplating the Creation Jade Disk, sending a message to Wen Zhong

The East Sea.

The Three Immortals Island.

After sending off Taibai Jinxing and talking to Yang Jian and Yang Chan about the Investiture of the Gods.

Gu Xiu went back into seclusion.

A fragment of the Creation Jade Disk hung above his head.

Three thousand incomplete laws circulated, and the Dao rhyme lingered on his body.

Using the Creation Jade Disk to assist in contemplation, Gu Xiu found that his cultivation speed had leaped forward by a thousand miles.

His understanding of the Dao was also clearer.

After a while, Gu Xiu opened his eyes from his contemplation.

"It is worthy of being the Creation Jade Disk; the auxiliary effect of just one fragment is visible to the naked eye."

"The only pity is that it is just an incomplete fragment of the Creation Jade Disk, and the laws on it are also incomplete, but it is not a big problem to use it to assist in breaking through to the Quasi-Saint."

Just as he wanted to continue using the Creation Jade Disk fragment to contemplate the laws.

The system's task prompt sounded.

"Ding!"

"Ji Chang has passed away, the Chan Sect has completely mastered Xiqi, Ji Fa is about to succeed to the throne, triggering event options."

"Option 1: Go to Xiqi, attend Ji Chang's funeral, reward: a low-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"Option 2: Go to Xiqi, attend Ji Fa's succession ceremony, reward: a high-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"Option 3: Ignore this matter, continue seclusion and cultivation, reward: ten flat peaches!"

Looking at the options popped up by the system.

Attending Ji Chang's funeral and Ji Fa's succession ceremony was impossible.

"System, I choose three, ignore this matter."

"Ding!"

"Selection successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining ten flat peaches!"

Having obtained the reward, Gu Xiu took out a flat peach and took a bite.

He thought about the current situation in Xiqi.

Although the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality was seriously injured, other Twelve Golden Immortals would definitely come to help Jiang Ziya.

Once Ji Chang's funeral was completed and Ji Fa announced his succession, it would be time for Xiqi to counterattack.

He thought for a moment.

He raised his hand in the air and wrote a message talisman to Wen Zhong.

Xiqi.

The news of Ji Chang's illness and death spread throughout Xiqi.

Wen Zhong also received the news.

Currently, Xiqi was holding Ji Chang's funeral.

Out of respect and martial virtue, Wen Zhong had not sent anyone to challenge them these past few days, intending to let them finish Ji Chang's funeral before competing.

While handling affairs in the camp, a message flew in from the horizon.

There was doubt in Wen Zhong's eyes.

Which fellow Daoist sent the message?

After reading the content of the message talisman, Wen Zhong frowned.

"It is actually a message from Junior Brother Gu Xiu."

The content of the message informed him.

The Chan Sect recently wanted to send the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality to Xiqi to help Jiang Ziya, but he was intercepted by Jie Sect members on the way and seriously injured. He is currently healing and will not appear in Xiqi for the time being.

But the Chan Sect will send other Twelve Golden Immortals, who are likely already in Xiqi.

Wen Zhong's expression was solemn.

"According to Junior Brother's words, once Ji Chang's funeral is completed and Ji Fa announces his succession, it will be the time for the Chan Sect to counterattack."

"The Twelve Golden Immortals and the four generals of the Mo family are not enemies. It is best for me to retreat to Si Shui Pass and plan before moving, otherwise, the four generals of the Mo family will surely die, and I will lose four great generals in vain?"

Wen Zhong believed Gu Xiu's words.

If Gu Xiu hadn't told him, Wen Zhong would have thought that the Xiqi rebellion was just a simple rebellion of princes, which he could suppress easily.

But after seeing the skills of the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect in Xiqi, he knew that this rebellion, as Gu Xiu said, involved the Chan Sect.

The Chan Sect wanted to use Xiqi to complete the Investiture of the Gods and support Xiqi to overthrow the Yin-Shang.

After weighing it in his heart, Wen Zhong immediately summoned his adjutant.

He ordered the order to be passed down to immediately withdraw from Xiqi and retreat to the vicinity of Si Shui Pass.

The four generals of the Mo family did not understand, and the four of them came to find Wen Zhong together.

"Grand Preceptor Wen, what is the meaning of this? Why suddenly withdraw from Xiqi and retreat to Si Shui Pass?" Mo Liqing, holding the Azure Cloud Sword, was the first to speak.

"Yes, Grand Preceptor, we currently have the upper hand. Although we always encounter strange things every time we attack the city, if we surround Xiqi for a few more months, they will definitely run out of food, and they will definitely come out of the city to surrender. Wouldn't retreating now mean all our previous efforts are wasted?" Mo Lihai asked, holding the Jade Pipa, puzzled.

Mo Lihong held the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella, and Mo Lishou had the immortal pet Purple Gold Flower Fox Marten standing on his shoulder. Although the two did not speak, they both cast puzzled gazes, waiting for Wen Zhong's explanation.

Wen Zhong shook his head and sighed softly.

"Four fellow Daoists, you don't know that the Xiqi rebellion is not an ordinary rebellion of princes. It involves the Saint's orthodoxy, and there is a Saint's Great Sect involved, wanting to use Xiqi to overthrow the Yin-Shang."

The four generals of the Mo family were shocked.

"Is what the Grand Preceptor said true?"

Wen Zhong nodded: "It is not false, I have no need to joke about such things."

The four generals of the Mo family looked at each other.

Mo Liqing asked: "I wonder which Saint's Great Sect it is?"

Wen Zhong spat out two words briefly: "Chan Sect."

Hearing that it was the Chan Sect, the expressions of the four generals of the Mo family suddenly became solemn.

The leader of the Chan Sect is one of the Three Pure Ones, and the Chan Sect is one of the top Saint's Great Sects in the Primordial.

"Grand Preceptor, the Chan Sect is a Saint's Great Sect, why do they want to interfere in the war in the mortal world and support Xiqi to overthrow the Yin-Shang?" Mo Liqing asked, very puzzled.

A group of high-and-mighty immortal figures, how could they interfere in the war in the mortal world.

Wen Zhong pondered for a moment and finally said: "I don't know the specific reason. It is said that the Chan Sect wants to use the war in the mortal world to complete the Investiture of the Gods."

"According to the events of my previous suppressions of rebellions, the rebellious princes in various places are basically inseparable from the Chan Sect."

Hearing this, the four generals of the Mo family were all furious.

Mo Lihong said angrily.

"How unreasonable! I was wondering, under the King's rule, the country was prosperous and the people were at peace in the early days, so why did princes in various places suddenly rebel? It turns out that the Chan Sect, in order to complete the Investiture of the Gods, was the mastermind behind the scenes, causing constant war in the mortal world."

Mo Liqing said: "Grand Preceptor, I know that facing a Saint's Great Sect, we are too small, but we have long been prepared to fight to the last moment."

Mo Lihai said: "Grand Preceptor, my eldest brother is right. So what if Xiqi has the help of the Chan Sect? Are we people who fear death?"

Mo Lishou said: "Since my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are so righteous, I, Mo Lishou, will naturally follow!"

The four generals of the Mo family were impassioned and had already prepared to fight for the Yin-Shang to the last moment.

Wen Zhong was also deeply moved by the loyalty of the four.

"Your loyalty and courage are truly the fortune of our Yin-Shang, but the courage of a brute is not desirable."

"I have received news that the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void have already arrived in Xiqi. The Twelve Golden Immortals all have heaven-reaching means. Since Xiqi has not been taken for a long time, the four of you should listen to me and temporarily retreat with the army to Si Shui Pass. After we find out the situation, we will make plans. You four fellow Daoists are great generals of the Yin-Shang, and losing any one of you would be a heavy blow to the Yin-Shang, so we will not make meaningless sacrifices."

Wen Zhong's words were firm and powerful, every word from the heart.

The four generals of the Mo family were deeply touched.

"Grand Preceptor, we were reckless just now. We will retreat to Si Shui Pass with the army now." ===== CHAPTER 343 =====
