Chapter 78

Since he finally came out, Gu Xiu planned to do everything he had to do.

"Wen Zhong has been out to suppress the rebellion for a long time, and I don't know how it's going. Let's go and see..."

Passing through the fiefs of several rebellious feudal lords, he found many demons mixed in among them.

Gu Xiu looked down from above.

He thought to himself: "In order to wreak havoc on the Yin-Shang, the Chan Sect used some demons to make trouble, mixed in among them. I guess with the help of the Western Sect, they have committed so much karma. No wonder after the Investiture of the Gods, they were willing to let the West come to preach."

Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"In order to save the Twelve Golden Immortals and eliminate the killing calamity on their bodies, they really stopped at nothing..."

"Even at the cost of supporting the Western Zhou to lower the status of the Human Emperor to pay back the karma of the Heavenly Court, they still had to protect the Twelve Golden Immortals. I have to say that Yuanshi is shameless enough when it comes to protecting his own."

"Of course, the key is that the Grandmaster is too honest and trusted his two brothers too much, not expecting that they would collude with outsiders to deal with him. If he had seen the true colors of his two brothers earlier and acted sooner, he would not have been so passive."

Gu Xiu shook his head and sighed.

After visiting a few more fiefs of feudal lords, he finally found the army led by Wen Zhong.

At this time, Wen Zhong was riding the Ink Qilin, looking majestic, and was commanding the army to fight against the rebellious feudal lords.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sounds of shouting and screaming were intertwined.

He saw many demons mixed in the rebel army, charging and crashing.

Their bodies exuded an evil aura.

Wen Zhong shouted, rode the Ink Qilin and rushed up, the double whips in his hands dancing with a momentum like a rainbow, like a god of war, leading the army to charge and break through. Wherever he went, the demons in the rebel army fell one after another.

Gu Xiu stood above the clouds, looking down at the battlefield below with a calm gaze.

He said lightly: "The Yin-Shang is able to hold on for so long thanks to Wen Zhong."

Gu Xiu did not intend to help. Unless there was a generous reward, he would just watch quietly.

Under the leadership of Wen Zhong, the rebellious feudal lords were killed and fled in panic.

It was not until Wen Zhong returned to the camp that Gu Xiu chose to visit.

The Water-Fire Qilin pulled the colorful treasure carriage and appeared over the military camp, causing a commotion in the camp just like last time.

Wen Zhong noticed the movement outside, walked out, and looked up.

He saw the Water-Fire Qilin and Gu Xiu sitting on the treasure carriage.

He was slightly stunned and bowed his hands: "Junior Brother, why are you here?"

Gu Xiu looked calm and relaxed: "I came out to play, passed by this place, and saw the Grand Preceptor here suppressing the rebellion, so I specifically came over to say hello."

"So that's how it is. I wonder if Junior Brother has time, I have some things I want to ask."

Gu Xiu nodded: "Naturally, no problem."

"Thank you," Wen Zhong bowed his hands.

After going into the military camp, Gu Xiu asked: "Grand Preceptor, you called me over, is there anything important you want to tell me?"

Wen Zhong's face was slightly solemn: "Junior Brother, currently there are rebellions by feudal lords everywhere, and one can see the appearance of many demons in them. Is it related to the Chan Sect?"

Wen Zhong still remembers the trip to the North Sea vividly. If it were really related to the Chan Sect, he, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, would not be able to deal with it at all.

Gu Xiu sighed lightly: "Grand Preceptor, you should have the answer in your heart, why ask me? This matter cannot be separated from the Chan Sect. In order to achieve their goals, they stop at nothing, using demons to wreak havoc on the world, trying to overthrow the world of the Yin-Shang."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong gripped the double whips on his body tightly and gritted his teeth: "The Chan Sect's actions are truly intolerable by heaven!"

Then, he asked Gu Xiu: "I wonder if Junior Brother has any countermeasures?"

Gu Xiu shook his head: "Cutting ties with the Cheng Tang, resigning from the position of Grand Preceptor, and returning to Jin'ao Island to focus on cultivation is the most correct approach."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong felt a bit conflicted.

"I was entrusted by the late king, how can I leave at this time..."

It was as if he was asking Gu Xiu, but in fact, he was also asking himself.

Gu Xiu was indifferent: "That's why I told you when I was in the North Sea. Now you have long regarded yourself as the Grand Preceptor of the Yin-Shang, more than a disciple of the Jie Sect. So when the Yin-Shang is facing survival, please find a way yourself, and please do not implicate the sect. If you ever return to the sect for help, I will definitely not spare you."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong's expression was complex: "Junior Brother, rest assured, if it really comes to the last resort, I will not implicate the sect."

Although he got Wen Zhong's guarantee, Gu Xiu did not believe it at all.

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the auspicious clouds, surrounded by laws, turning into various terrifying visions.

Antarctic Immortal stood aside, looking respectful: "Teacher, the matter of killing Bo Yikao has been framed on Di Xin. Now Ji Chang already has the heart to raise the flag and rebel."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, his expression calm: "Very good, continue to send people to pressure Ji Chang, making him have to rebel."

"Teacher, please rest assured, although there have been some changes, Ji Chang has been following our arrangements."

"After letting Ji Fa complete the handover, there is no need to keep Ji Chang," Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was extremely indifferent.

Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Ziya.

"Jiang Ziya has been down the mountain for some time. When he sees the people in the mortal world living in misery and the feudal lords rebelling, and knows that the Yin-Shang's fortune is coming to an end, he can obediently go to the Investiture of the Gods."

"Teacher is wise," Antarctic Immortal bowed his hands.

Suddenly, a golden text flew in from outside and landed in the hands of Antarctic Immortal.

After extracting the information, Antarctic Immortal's face tightened slightly.

Sensing that Antarctic was not right, Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

"Antarctic, has something happened?"

Antarctic lowered his head slightly: "Teacher, just now information came from Xiqi that Di Xin suddenly sent a group of people with gifts to Xiqi to express condolences."

Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly: "This matter cannot affect the overall situation, but since they have come, don't let them go back."

"Teacher, rest assured, leave this matter to your disciple."

The peaks are towering, covered by clouds and mist.

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya stood in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by ancient trees reaching the sky, and spiritual birds and beasts shuttling between them.

Shen Gongbao specifically brought Jiang Ziya from East Kunlun to West Kunlun.

Since he was not allowed to preside over the Investiture of the Gods, he did not want Jiang Ziya to go to the Investiture of the Gods either.

He wanted Yuanshi to regret the decision to expel him from the sect and drive him down the mountain.

Shen Gongbao looked at the scene in front of him, excitement flashing in his eyes, and spoke first: "Senior Brother Jiang, the spiritual energy here is rich, just suitable as the location for our cave dwelling."

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "Junior Brother is absolutely right."

"Senior Brother, watch closely."

Having said that, Shen Gongbao operated his magic power and blasted toward the mountain wall.

Only hearing a loud "Boom—" sound, the mountain rocks collapsed and flew, and the dust rolled.

Jiang Ziya was just a mortal, and such things as opening a cave dwelling were not his turn, so he had to watch.

Shen Gongbao also liked to show off what he had learned in front of Jiang Ziya.

He performed magic to condense the collapsed stones together, turning them into the foundation of the cave dwelling.

As time passed, the prototype of the cave dwelling gradually appeared.

The interior was spacious and bright, filled with spiritual energy.

Shen Gongbao was panting with exhaustion, but still full of interest: "Senior Brother, look at this cave dwelling, it must be an excellent place for cultivation."

Jiang Ziya responded with a smile: "Thanks to Junior Brother, but it still needs to be arranged to be perfect."

So, the two of them searched for spiritual wood everywhere to make tables, chairs, and beds, collected spiritual herbs to decorate the surroundings of the cave dwelling, and set up defensive arrays at the entrance of the cave dwelling to prevent invasion by external enemies.

After several days of hard work, a brand-new cave dwelling was finally completed.

Outside the cave dwelling, clouds and mist swirled, like a fairyland;

Inside the cave dwelling, it was properly arranged and filled with the aura of immortals.

Shen Gongbao said: "Senior Brother Jiang, you spent your time in the Jade Void Palace watering and doing chores. Now that you are a loose cultivator, you can focus on cultivation."

"Indeed," Jiang Ziya recalled his life in the Jade Void Palace.

Doing chores was a waste of time.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have failed to become an immortal after forty years of cultivation in the Saint's sect.

"Junior Brother Shen, I heard that the main force of the West Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West's Palace. I don't know where the Queen Mother of the West's Palace is. I will try to avoid it in the future so as not to collide with some female immortals."

Shen Gongbao laughed: "Senior Brother, rest assured, our cave dwelling is not within the scope of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace. As long as Senior Brother doesn't go too far, you won't encounter the female immortals of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace."

Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can rest assured."
