Chapter 42: Clearing Obstacles in Advance, Seizing the Money of Falling Treasures

Three Immortals Island.

Because Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao were not as unconcerned about their image as Bi Xiao.

Gu Xiu cut out the crane meat and put it on a plate.

"Master, Junior Uncle Qiong Xiao, please taste it."

Yun Xiao picked up a piece of meat, tasted it in small bites, and nodded.

"It's really good."

Seeing this, Qiong Xiao also stretched out her slender jade hand, took a small piece, and ate it elegantly.

"It seems that what Third Sister said is true, it's really delicious."

Gu Xiu was surrounded by three graceful figures, each with their own style.

Yun Xiao was dignified and quiet, Qiong Xiao was cold and moving, and Bi Xiao was lively and playful.

Since coming to Three Immortals Island, he found that Qiong Xiao spoke less and belonged to the cold and aloof type. It was rare to hear praise, which surprised Gu Xiu.

However, happy times are always short.

Before he knew it, night fell, the stars were dotted, and the crane meat had been eaten up.

The Three Xiao Sisters also went back. When Bi Xiao went back, she even brought a crane back.

Because he was too full, Gu Xiu leaned against a tree, satisfied, burped, and thought about the Investiture of the Gods.

Due to his intervention, many things had changed.

After Su Daji entered the palace, she hadn't plotted against the Queen until now.

As for the later things, he would let Wen Zhong worry about them after he returned.

He only worried about how to make the Jie Sect win in the Investiture of the Gods and save the Three Xiao Sisters and some important disciples of the Jie Sect first.

The moonlight shone on his face, but it couldn't cover Gu Xiu's attachment to his current life, so Gu Xiu couldn't let the damn Investiture of the Gods destroy his current life.

"I remember there were a few loose cultivators who, in order to be on the list, took the initiative to get involved in the Investiture of the Gods to help the Chan Sect. It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I'll start with those few loose cultivators."

"Although you haven't taken action yet, for my own sake, I can only kill you and this number of heaven in the cradle in advance."

The next day.

Gu Xiu left Three Immortals Island, intending to go to Wuyi Mountain to find Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. He had to get the Money of Falling Treasures in their hands, otherwise, Zhao Gongming would fall into the Money of Falling Treasures in the future.

On the other side.

Eight of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void were because their mounts were stolen by Gu Xiu and roasted to eat.

They returned from Mount Kunlun with a solemn face, returning to their respective cave dwellings, swearing to find the thief who stole the crane.

But Gu Xiu didn't leave any evidence at all.

Every Golden Immortal used all means in their own dojo, but in the end, they didn't find a clue or a trace.

Soon the other eight immortals gathered together again.

"My cave dwelling is unusual, and I can't find half a trace of the thief." Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun was the first to break the silence, his voice full of resentment.

Hearing this, Guangchengzi opened his mouth: "I am the same, the thief is very cunning and didn't leave half a trace."

Looking at everyone's expressions, they all shook their heads.

Perfected Lord Puxian thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very strange. Our eight people's cranes disappeared together, obviously this person knows we are not in the cave dwelling. Could it be a thief from the Jie Sect?"

"It's possible, but the Jie Sect disciples are far away in the East Sea, yet they know our whereabouts like the back of their hand, which is a bit unreasonable."

"Why don't we ask Teacher to perform a deduction?"

"Okay."

Guangchengzi and others immediately went to Mount Kunlun Jade Void Palace to visit Yuanshi Tianzun.

For the eight of the Twelve Golden Immortals to come to see him together.

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently, his face without any extra expression.

"Guangchengzi, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"Teacher, when we came to Mount Kunlun, the cranes in the dojo were stolen and have been harmed, but we couldn't find the murderer, so we implore Teacher to take action and deduce who the thief is."

Yuanshi Tianzun's face couldn't see joy or anger, only indifference.

"This matter is related to the Jie Sect."

"Sure enough, it's a Jie Sect thief. I don't know who it is in the Jie Sect." Guangchengzi was angry.

Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes slightly,

"The secret of heaven is obscure and cannot be explored."

Hearing this, Guangchengzi didn't dare to ask more and retreated.

Primordial land.

Wuyi Mountain, majestic and vast, winding and undulating.

The mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dream.

This place is a blessed land for immortals, and many loose cultivators have opened cave dwellings here, and the cave dwellings of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are in Wuyi Mountain.

Gu Xiu came here specifically to find them.

On a towering mountain peak, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were sitting opposite each other leisurely, focusing on the chess game in front of them.

Xiao Sheng's green shirt fluttered in the wind, his expression focused, holding a chess piece in his hand, pondering slightly, thinking about where to place the next move.

Cao Bao was dressed in a plain robe, his eyes shining, and a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth, as if he had already had the chess game in his chest.

"Brother Xiao, it's not a thing for us to play chess on this mountain every day. I heard a piece of news that might be our chance to turn over."

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and responded: "Brother Cao, what chance to turn over?"

"I heard that heaven and earth have ushered in another calamity. This calamity involves the Saint's orthodoxy, and the disciples of the three sects are involved in the calamity, dying and being on the list, and can enter the Heavenly Court to rank in the immortal class."

"Isn't this the matter of the three sects? What does it have to do with us?"

"Brother Xiao, we can get in touch with the three sects and get involved in the calamity, can't we?"

Xiao Sheng hesitated: "But we have to die and be on the list, will there be danger?"

"Brother Xiao, for us who cultivate the Dao, the flesh is just a skin bag, what is there to be reluctant about? We have poor roots and shallow fortune, and we can only reach the True Immortal in our whole life. If you really don't want to be a loose cultivator for a lifetime?"

After pondering for a while, Xiao Sheng was also a bit moved: "Brother Cao, what is your brilliant plan?"

"The brilliant plan is in the Money of Falling Treasures in Brother Xiao's hand. As long as we save the people of the three sects, the other party will have karma with us. We express our willingness to help the other party, and the other party naturally dare not refuse."

While the two were discussing how to get involved in the Investiture of the Gods among the three sects, Gu Xiu suddenly appeared, watching the two with an indifferent expression.

"I'm afraid your plan is going to be ruined."

Suddenly a person broke in, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao frowned and stood up.

Xiao Sheng cupped his hands and asked: "I don't know who the Fellow Daoist is, why did you come to our cave dwelling?"

"The disciples of the three sects you are thinking about." Gu Xiu spat out these words briefly.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's faces changed slightly.

Cao Bao cupped his hands: "I don't know why you came here, which sect of the three sects are you?"

Gu Xiu ignored Cao Bao, his gaze falling on Xiao Sheng.

"Hand over the Money of Falling Treasures, I can consider sparing your lives."

"You want the Money of Falling Treasures?"

Xiao Sheng became vigilant when someone came to grab the Money of Falling Treasures.

"The Money of Falling Treasures is Xiao's magic treasure. You are a Saint's disciple, yet you do such a thing of robbery? Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of your sect and the Saint? Being blamed by the Saint?"

Gu Xiu smiled and said indifferently: "I'm really not afraid."

The Jie Sect has always been scolded by the Chan Sect for wearing hair and horns, Gu Xiu doesn't mind one more person scolding.

Besides, these two would soon be dead people.

At this time, the system sounded.

"Ding!"

"Detected that the Host bumped into Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao planning to get involved in the three sects' calamity. Event options triggered; please make a choice, Host."

"Option One: Ignore this matter, leave now. Reward: None!"

"Option Two: Kill Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to seize the Money of Falling Treasures. Reward: Colorful Treasure Carriage!! (The entire carriage body is made of seven-colored glaze, with flowing light and endless changes. The flying carriage is surrounded by dreamlike rosy clouds, and the interior is covered with soft cloud velvet cushions, making one feel as if they are in a gorgeous dream when riding.)"

The system suddenly issued a task and also rewarded a treasure carriage, which was exactly what Gu Xiu needed.

"System, I choose two."

"Ding!"

"Selection successful. Task time limit: one hour. Expired and void!" ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
