Chapter 354

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun returned from Jinao Island, sitting cross-legged on his auspicious clouds with a face full of rage.

He immediately summoned the remaining ten Golden Immortals to see him.

Guang Chengzi and the others had been staying on Mount Kunlun waiting for news.

Hearing the summons, they went to the Jade Void Palace to see Yuanshi Tianzun at the first opportunity.

When they saw Yuanshi Tianzun's extremely gloomy face, no one dared to provoke his anger.

"Disciples pay respects to Teacher." The ten Golden Immortals prostrated themselves, none daring to lift their heads or even breathe loudly.

Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze swept over the ten Golden Immortals and finally rested on Ju Liusun, shouting angrily: "Ju Liusun, do you know your crime!"

Ju Liusun, prostrate on the ground, trembled all over, cold sweat streaming down.

He did not know what Yuanshi Tianzun meant by these words, or if he knew that to save his own life, he had pushed Master Lingbao toward the Golden Dragon Scissors to buy time for his escape.

"Ju Liusun, do you know your crime!" Yuanshi Tianzun shouted angrily again, his voice filled with endless fury.

Ju Liusun trembled all over, kowtowing repeatedly on the ground, his voice shaking: "Disciple knows his crime, I beg Teacher for mercy."

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?" Yuanshi Tianzun's tone was icy.

Ju Liusun said tremblingly: "Disciple failed to protect Junior Brother Lingbao, causing him to be sent to the list."

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from Yuanshi Tianzun.

Ju Liusun was sent flying, crashing into the palace pillar behind him, vomiting a mouthful of blood. But he dared not mind his pain, hurriedly getting up to prostrate and kowtow, not daring to look Yuanshi Tianzun in the eye.

Thinking of the scene Tong Tian had released from the recording stone on Jinao Island, Yuanshi Tianzun became furious, fire erupting from his eyes: "Still not telling the truth at this point?"

"You were cowardly and feared death when facing the three sisters of Yun Xiao, and you actually harmed your fellow disciple, causing the death of Master Lingbao to exchange for your own survival. You have committed such a grave error, yet you still hope for mercy? Have you treated my daily teachings as nothing but wind in your ears?"

Hearing this, the Golden Immortals present were all stunned.

No wonder Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry; it turned out Master Lingbao had been killed by Ju Liusun.

And he had caused them to be punished here together.

At the same time, the Golden Immortals present began to harbor their own thoughts.

In the future, when going on missions, even if it was a fellow disciple, they would have to be on guard.

Ju Liusun's face was deathly pale, cold sweat rolling down his forehead, and he stammered: "Teacher, disciple... disciple was confused for a moment and already knows his mistake. Please, Teacher, spare this disciple this once; I will definitely reform and never commit such an act again."

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a cold snort: "Reform? The error you committed should be punished by expulsion from the sect, but currently, two of the Twelve Golden Immortals have already been lost, leaving only ten; we cannot afford any more losses. You shall reflect on your errors under Qilin Cliff."

Having said this, Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, and Ju Liusun vanished from the hall.

Following this, a tremor came from the direction of Qilin Cliff on Mount Kunlun.

The Golden Immortals present knew Ju Liusun had been suppressed under Qilin Cliff.

Soon, Yuanshi Tianzun's figure appeared on the auspicious clouds again, his mood having calmed down quite a bit.

He glanced at the Golden Immortals prostrate on the ground.

He spoke slowly.

"I do not wish to see a repeat of Ju Liusun's affair, or I will certainly not be lenient!"

Guang Chengzi lifted his head slightly: "Teacher, rest assured. If we had noticed earlier that Ju Liusun had developed a demonic heart and evil intentions, and stopped him in time, perhaps Junior Brother Lingbao would not have met with such a calamity."

"When we go out, we will definitely recite the Yellow Court Scripture with all our junior brothers to cultivate our hearts and prevent the growth of inner demons."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "Manjusri and Puxian, you two go to Xiqi to assist Jiang Ziya."

"We obey the decree!"

Thinking that the Jie Sect currently recorded everything with recording stones, and the Chan Sect had already fallen for it twice.

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly.

"That group of fur-clad, horn-bearing creatures in the Jie Sect records images favorable to themselves every time they act. You must be careful in your future actions."

Guang Chengzi said: "Teacher, rest assured. That group of fur-clad, horn-bearing creatures in the Jie Sect always likes to tinker with these useless things; we will be careful to deal with them when we act."

Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes slightly: "You may withdraw."

Hearing this, all the Golden Immortals felt relieved: "Disciples take their leave."

After all the Golden Immortals had withdrawn, Yuanshi Tianzun's brows furrowed tightly.

Currently, the Chan Sect had suffered heavy losses; two of the Twelve Golden Immortals were lost, and one was suppressed under Qilin Cliff, making it very difficult to deal with the Jie Sect's subsequent counterattacks.

Thinking of this, he summoned Antarctic Immortal Weng inside.

"Antarctic pays respects to Teacher." As soon as he entered, Antarctic Immortal Weng bowed respectfully.

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly.

"Antarctic, I believe you already know about Ju Liusun's affair, right?"

"Teacher, Ju Liusun harmed his fellow disciple and brought shame to our Chan Sect. Senior Brother Guang Chengzi and the others have already told me about this." Antarctic Immortal Weng lowered his head slightly and answered respectfully.

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment: "Currently, two of our Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals have been lost, and Ju Liusun is suppressed under Qilin Cliff. We are somewhat short of manpower and must find a way to make up for the lost personnel."

"Teacher, you mean...?" Antarctic Immortal Weng did not quite understand Yuanshi's words; the Chan Sect, which had always valued lineage and background, actually wanted to rely on outsiders.

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was solemn: "Antarctic, you shall travel to the three mountains and five sacred peaks to see if you can get those long-renowned great powers to assist our Chan Sect in completing the Investiture of the Gods. You may agree to some conditions as appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Antarctic Immortal Weng felt this task was somewhat difficult and had to ask clearly, otherwise, if he failed to handle it well, he would inevitably face Yuanshi's fury upon his return.

"I wonder which great powers Teacher is referring to?"

"Zhen Yuanzi, Ming He, and others. They are veteran great powers; no one can take them down unless a Saint takes action. If we have their help, our Chan Sect will surely be able to win the Investiture of the Gods."

Antarctic Immortal Weng bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Teacher, rest assured, this disciple will definitely do his utmost to persuade them to come and assist the Chan Sect."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, said nothing more, and closed his eyes.

Antarctic Immortal Weng tactfully retreated.

After exiting the Jade Void Palace, he looked into the distance, mounted his white deer, and rode the clouds away.

At this time.

Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya had been planning to escape Xiqi and defect to Wen Zhong for days.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside.

"Junior Uncle, Lei Zhenzi has something to report."

Jiang Ziya opened the door and walked out, looking at the youth before him, who was ugly in appearance, with hair like cinnabar and wings on his back.

He asked.

"Lei Zhenzi, is there something the matter?"

Lei Zhenzi bowed slightly.

"Junior Uncle, my Master just sent word that Senior Uncle Ju Liusun and Senior Uncle Lingbao were attacked by Jie Sect disciples. Among them, Senior Uncle Lingbao was sent to the list, while Senior Uncle Ju Liusun, because of some matters, was suppressed by the Sect Master under Qilin Cliff and cannot come to assist us for the time being."

Jiang Ziya was shocked: "You say Senior Brother Lingbao was sent to the list?"

"Junior Uncle, that is what the message from my Master says, but Junior Uncle need not worry; Master said other Senior Uncles will come to assist us."

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed; his chance to escape had come: "Lei Zhenzi, you tell me this news is very important; you may withdraw for now."

"Yes, Junior Uncle." Lei Zhenzi's eyes were full of confusion; he didn't know if it was his imagination, but upon hearing that Master Lingbao had been sent to the list and Ju Liusun had been suppressed under Qilin Cliff, a trace of joy had appeared on Jiang Ziya's face.
