Chapter 484: Made People Laugh and Cry

~20 min read 3,866 words

Master Fajie heard the Tiger King's voice, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he rose and slowly walked toward those present.

"The 'Vajra Indestructible Formation' originates from one of the supreme formations in Buddhism." Master Fajie's gaze swept over the crowd.

His voice carried a sense of solemnity and reverence.

"Vajra Indestructible means unbreakable, like the vajra pestle in Buddhism—nothing can withstand it, nothing can destroy it."

"Moreover, the establishment of the Vajra Indestructible Formation is related to a high monk in Buddhism.

It is said that this was a monk named Vajra Wisdom, who, with unsurpassed wisdom and boundless magical power, combined Buddhist vajra scriptures to create this formation.

Once this formation is deployed, it can resist all evil forces in the world and protect those within from external disturbances."

Master Fajie then looked toward the partially seated monks of Xiguangsi chanting sutras, paused briefly, and continued.

"The deployment of the Vajra Indestructible Formation requires Buddhist high monks to chant sutras together, using Buddhist power to activate the formation's might.

Once activated, the formation will form an invisible barrier around it—this barrier is as hard as vajra and can resist any form of attack."

He then pointed at the runes flashing on the light shield, explaining: "These runes are Buddhist scriptures.

Each rune contains Buddhist compassion and wisdom, and together they constitute the defensive system of the Vajra Indestructible Formation.

Under this light shield, any demon or heretic shall be unable to intrude; Lihu City already has the Startling God Formation, and with this Vajra Indestructible Formation added, it will become even more impregnable."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Peng King and others were all deeply shocked.

They gazed at the golden light shield, their hearts filled with reverence.

The Tiger King and Heavenly Pivot True Person Hu Xiaocao exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in the other's eyes.

With the protection of the Vajra Indestructible Formation, Lihu City will be able to resist any external invasion,.

They can also focus more on utilizing the resources of the Tianji Holy Realm, transporting them to Earth's Longyuan Mountain, allowing more cultivators stuck at the Golden Core bottleneck to swiftly break through into the Original God Realm.

Under Master Fajie's leadership, the monks of Xiguangsi continued chanting sutras, their voices echoing above Lihu City, bringing a sense of tranquility and harmony to the city.

And the Vajra Indestructible Formation, like an insurmountable barrier, guards this city.

"Master Fajie, what orders does the Demon Master have?" Zhenyang True Person Zhang Berdu asked earnestly.

"The Demon Master has already sent Huang Daxian and Heifeng, disguised as cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land, wearing mourning clothes to spread the news of the Taiyin Holy Maiden's fall in Lihu City.

To use this opportunity to lure cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land training in the Tianji Holy Realm into anger, wanting to avenge the Taiyin Holy Maiden and others, drawing them together to swindle the Taiyin Holy Land of a fortune.

Lihu City, taking advantage of Huang Daxian and Heifeng drawing the attention of Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, will have all the cultivation weapons transported from Earth fully installed."

Upon hearing this, Master Fajie spoke carefully, simultaneously handing a scroll to the Tiger King.

After receiving the scroll, the Tiger King's eyes flashed with a sharp light, deeply admiring the Demon Master's wisdom and strategy.

They had not expected the Demon Master to take the initiative, and moreover to scheme against the Taiyin Holy Land in this way—if this plan succeeds, it will surely cause a great uproar among the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land.

A flash of cold smirk also appeared on the Golden Peng King's face.

"This plan is not only cunning but also ruthless, exactly the Demon Master's consistent style—I still haven't learned the essence of the Demon Master, alas."

"Master, can Huang Daxian and Heifeng's disguise technique fool the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land?" the Tiger King asked, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Master Fajie nodded slightly and said confidently: "Huang Daxian and Heifeng are capable aides of the Demon Master; their disguise technique has long reached perfection, making it very difficult for Taiyin Holy Land cultivators to see through."

The Golden Peng King pondered: "Even so, we cannot be careless.

Among the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land, there are no shortage of strategists; we must make thorough preparations."

Master Fajie clasped his hands and said slowly: "I have already had the disciples of Xiguangsi deploy the 'Vajra Indestructible Formation' around Lihu City; anyone with ill intentions will find it difficult to approach."

The Tiger King and the Golden Peng King exchanged a glance, feeling delighted in their hearts.

Huang Daxian originally could not stay still as a demon king; letting him go to wear mourning clothes for the Taiyin Holy Maiden and others is fundamentally not grief, but rather to embarrass the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land.

Before long, the dignity of the Taiyin Holy Land will be completely swept away, reduced to a laughingstock in the Universe Cultivation World.

"Master, the Demon Master's move is indeed brilliant; if the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land learn of the Holy Maiden's fall, they will surely be filled with grief and indignation, at which point their emotions will be dominated by anger and hatred, creating favorable conditions for our subsequent actions." the Tiger King said in a deep voice, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

The Golden Peng King also nodded in agreement: "Not bad—anger makes people lose reason; once the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land are controlled by emotion, they are likely to act impulsively, giving us an opportunity to exploit."

Master Fajie gave a slight nod, his face still maintaining that solemnity and calm.

"The Demon Master's plan is indeed ingenious, but we cannot afford to be careless.

The Taiyin Holy Land has stood firm in the Cultivation World; its foundation and strength are not to be underestimated.

We must remain vigilant at all times, prepared to respond to any possible changes."

The Tiger King and the Golden Peng King took Master Fajie's words to heart.

They knew that in this chess game against the Taiyin Holy Land, the leader of the righteous path in the Cultivation World, the Demon Master must proceed with caution in every step—any small mistake could lead to total defeat.

"Master, the cultivators of Lihu City have also made preparations and can cooperate with the Demon Master's plan at any time." Hu Xiaocao said delightedly.

The Golden Peng King added: "Once the cultivation weapons from Earth are transported, Lihu City's attack power will increase manifold, and we will be able to unleash our fists and feet without restraint."

Upon hearing this, Master Fajie clasped his hands and recited a Buddhist name.

"Good, good—with everyone's joint efforts, I believe we will surely succeed."

"Haha, Master, Huang Daxian and Heifeng disguising themselves as cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land—this scene is really hard for us to imagine." the Golden Peng King suddenly laughed, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

The Tiger King also wore an expectant look: "Indeed, Huang Daxian usually appears mighty and imposing, while Heifeng is mysterious and unfathomable—I don't know what a bizarre sight they will make wearing mourning clothes."

Master Fajie gave a slight smile and said: "Two Kings, although this matter is a strategy, it is also an unavoidable measure.

If the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land learn of the Holy Maiden's fall, they will surely be filled with righteous indignation, forcing us to prepare in advance to deal with possible changes."

The Golden Peng King nodded: "Master's words are absolutely correct; we will naturally cooperate fully with the Demon Master's plan.

Only, if we could catch a glimpse of Huang Daxian and Heifeng's disguise, it would also count as a bit of enjoyment in this operation."

The Tiger King echoed: "Exactly, I really want to see how they act as those grief-stricken cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land—this would be more exciting than watching a play."

Master Fajie clasped his hands and said: "Two Kings, do not underestimate the abilities of Huang Daxian and Heifeng.

Since they were chosen by the Demon Master to carry out this mission, they must have exceptional qualities.

We should still focus on our duties and ensure the smooth progress of the plan."

The Golden Peng King and the Tiger King exchanged a glance, both putting away their playful minds and nodding solemnly.

Under the guidance of Master Fajie, the cultivators of Lihu City began to busy themselves.

They strengthened the city's defenses according to the deployment diagram on the scroll drawn by the demon master, while simultaneously secretly observing the movements of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators.

The entire Lihu City was filled with a tense yet excited atmosphere.

……

At the same time, Carefree Wanderer City in the Tianji Holy Realm.

Heifeng and Huang Daxian had already completely disguised themselves as cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land.

Their attire, makeup, and even demeanor had been meticulously designed to ensure no flaw was exposed.

On the square of the city, they wore sackcloth and showed filial piety, their faces smeared with ash symbolizing grief, kneeling on the ground, beginning a carefully arranged weeping.

Subsequently, they spread the news of the Taiyin Holy Maiden's fall in various corners, their words filled with resentment and anger toward Lihu City.

Their superb acting quickly drew the attention of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators.

Some Taiyin Holy Land cultivators who were training in the Tianji Holy Realm, upon hearing this news, all burst into tears, their anger spreading in their hearts.

"Heavens, our Holy Maiden, our hope, has fallen just like that!" Heifeng's voice trembled.

He lowered his head, letting tears slide down his cheeks, as if truly grieving for his lost fellow disciples.

Huang Daxian covered his face with both hands, his body slightly trembling, his weeping low and powerful, each word filled with sorrow.

"Holy Maiden, how could you just leave us like this?

The glory of the Taiyin Holy Land has dimmed because of your departure."

The surrounding cultivators began to notice this sudden scene.

They gathered around, whispering.

Heifeng and Huang Daxian's performance attracted many gazes, their weeping filled with loyalty to the Taiyin Holy Land and mourning for the Holy Maiden and others.

"Look, that is the attire of the Taiyin Holy Land, could it really be..." a watching cultivator said softly, his voice filled with disbelief.

"The Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Holy Land, isn't she a legendary figure in the cultivation world? How could..." another cultivator continued, his eyes filled with shock.

Heifeng and Huang Daxian's weeping gradually grew hoarse, their performance becoming more immersed, as if truly drowned in grief.

They knew this performance was crucial to the success of the entire plan, and they must make everyone present believe that the Holy Maiden of the Taiyin Holy Land and others had truly fallen.

"Holy Maiden, your departure is an unbearable pain for us of the Taiyin Holy Land." Heifeng continued to weep, his voice carrying a heartbreaking despair.

Huang Daxian then lifted his head, gazing at the sky, as if searching for the Holy Maiden's soul: "Your heroic spirit, are you watching us from the heavens?

We will surely avenge you, making those who caused this pay the price!"

However, in the city of the Tianji Holy Realm, Heifeng and Huang Daxian's disguise was meant to provoke the anger of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, but they did not expect their performance to be so exaggerated that it instead drew laughter from other Huanyu cultivators present.

"Haha, look quickly at that Huang Daxian, his weeping is even more exaggerated than opera singing—is he crying or laughing?" a cultivator couldn't help but laugh out loud, his words resonating with those around.

"Exactly, and that Heifeng—wasn't he usually called the Cold-Faced Killer?

Now this appearance in sackcloth and filial piety is truly laughable." Another cultivator joined the mockery.

"Are these two here to make fun?

If the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators saw them like this, they'd probably be so angry they'd jump out of their coffins." A female cultivator covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, her words making those around laugh until they doubled over.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng's faces turned extremely grim, yet inwardly they were pleased, for this was exactly the feeling they wanted.

Your mockery will make the Taiyin Holy Land in the Tianji Holy Realm utterly become a laughingstock.

"Who dares mock the Taiyin Holy Land, tired of living too long?"

Soon, above the entire Carefree Wanderer City, an angry voice exploded.

This was the cultivators of the nearby Taiyin Holy Land who had heard the news and rushed over.

After receiving the news of the Holy Maiden's fall, their hearts were already heavy, after all, they had lost the revered Holy Maiden and many fellow disciples and elders.

However, when they arrived, they instead heard a series of piercing mockery and ridicule, undoubtedly like sprinkling salt on their bleeding wounds.

"You shameless wretches, dare you laugh at our Taiyin Holy Land's tragedy!" a Taiyin Holy Land cultivator shouted, his face turning iron-blue, his eyes seeming to spit fire, his voice trembling with anger.

"What a vile act!" another cultivator clenched his fists, nails digging deep into his palms, his voice filled with anger and sorrow, "Do you have no heart? Our brothers and sisters have fallen, yet you here rejoice in our misfortune?"

"The strong of the Taiyin Holy Land cannot be defiled!" an elder cultivator roared, his voice like thunder echoing in the city, "Today, you must pay for your ignorance and foolishness!"

The anger of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators erupted like a volcano, their aura becoming extraordinarily strong, the surrounding air seeming to tremble from their fury.

In their eyes, sorrow was replaced by blazing fury.

"We cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land, even if trapped in desperation, will never bow our heads!" a young cultivator shouted loudly.

His voice filled with defiance and challenge, "Today, let everyone know, the price of insulting the Taiyin Holy Land!"

The other cultivators in the city were shaken by the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators' anger, the original mockery gradually fading, replaced by a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

They realized they might have truly angered a group they should not have provoked.

The Taiyin Holy Land cultivators did not immediately act, but their anger had been clearly conveyed to everyone present.

The Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, their anger like a long-brewing storm, finally erupted at this moment.

In their eyes, there was no hesitation left, only firmness and resolve.

That anger was not only due to the fall of their fellow disciples, but also because of the mockery and insults from the ignorant.

"Our Holy Maiden, her sacrifice—could you clowns possibly understand?" a cultivator roared.

His voice echoed in the city like thunderbolts, shaking every soul.

"What you mock is not only our Taiyin Holy Land, but also the dignity of the orthodox forces of the cultivation world!" another cultivator gripped his sword hilt, sword tip pointing at the mockers.

His voice icy and filled with killing intent, "Today, we shall use your blood to offer sacrifices to our fallen comrades!"

"The Taiyin Holy Land is not something you rats can defile!" a female cultivator's voice sharp and angry.

Her long hair danced wildly in the angry aura, like a lioness about to pounce on prey, "You will pay the heaviest price for your ignorance and foolishness!"

The mocking voices in the city had vanished, replaced by utter silence.

The anger of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, like a sharp sword, hung over every head.

"Hmph..." a cultivator who appeared to be the team leader shouted loudly, his voice filled with fighting spirit, "Today, we must not only avenge the Holy Maiden and our fellow disciples, but also let the entire cultivation world know that the dignity of the Taiyin Holy Land cannot be violated!"

"Kill!" the other cultivators shouted in unison, their voices gathering into a powerful force that shook the entire city.

The cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land began to form a formation, their auras began to connect, forming a powerful whole.

And now, in their hearts, there is only one thought.

That is, for the Taiyin Holy Land, for the fallen fellow disciples, they will fight until the last moment.

Their anger will turn into fighting power, their sorrow will turn into unyielding will.

Today, they will use their actions to defend the dignity of the fallen disciples of the Taiyin Holy Land.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng saw the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land furious and about to target the cultivators watching the spectacle in Carefree Wanderer City, and immediately realized the situation was dire.

The mocking expressions on their faces instantly turned into expressions of utter grief, and they hurried forward, grabbing the thighs of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators.

"O fellow cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land, you must decide for us!" Huang Daxian's voice trembled with tears.

His acting reached its peak at this moment, "We also learned of the Holy Maiden's tragic news, and our hearts are filled with sorrow, that is why..."

"Yes, yes.

We are merely too grief-stricken, wanting to express our sorrow for the Holy Maiden in this way." Heifeng also quickly echoed.

Tears glistened in his eyes, as if he were truly moved by the fall of the Taiyin Holy Maiden.

Seeing this, the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land found their original anger involuntarily stalled.

They looked at Huang Daxian and Heifeng's appearance of utter grief, and the anger in their hearts slightly subsided.

Seeing this, Huang Daxian quickly intensified his performance: "We fully understand the loss of the Taiyin Holy Land, the fall of the Holy Maiden is a great loss to the entire cultivation world. We are willing to contribute our modest strength to the Taiyin Holy Land, to avenge the Holy Maiden!"

Heifeng also immediately followed up: "Exactly, we are also cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land,

Our reverence for the Holy Maiden is no less than anyone's.

Please let us join you, to together seek justice for the Holy Maiden!"

The cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land looked at each other, some of them began to be moved by the words of Huang Daxian and Heifeng.

After all, at this time, anyone willing to step forward to contribute to the Taiyin Holy Land is worthy of respect.

"Since we are disciples of the Holy Land, we must share weal and woe!

You are good." An elder cultivator said in a deep voice.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Huang Daxian and Heifeng knew their performance had achieved its purpose, at least temporarily easing the anger of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators.

They secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface they still maintained expressions of grief, continuing to plead with the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land.

"Thank you for considering us fellow disciples." Huang Daxian's voice carried a hint of sobbing.

Heifeng secretly observed all this, his heart gradually relaxing.

It is not easy for us to stir up the mockery of the city's cultivators toward the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, so naturally we will not let the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators draw their slaughtering knives.

As long as those cultivators leave Carefree Wanderer City, the rumors of the Taiyin Holy Land will become increasingly violent.

This is the power of rumors, spreading and spreading, that becomes a major issue, contrary to the original intention of refuting.

Now, after the incident in Carefree Wanderer City, I have already gained the trust of these Taiyin Holy Land cultivators. The demon master's plan has already succeeded halfway.

Then comes waiting for the action of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, and then seizing the opportunity to guide them toward the trap set by the demon master.

Now, in this carefully planned conspiracy, the cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land have become pawns, while Huang Daxian and Heifeng are the players.

Now, in the Universe Cultivation World, the ancient clans, the Ancient Emperor clan not appearing, the ten major heretical forces and the ten major orthodox forces are in mutual balance.

What the demon master needs to do is to let them fall apart, and then defeat them individually.

Thus, earth cultivators can, in the game with the Universe forces, take advantage of the situation and gain benefits from danger.

"Fellow disciples, we cannot linger here too long." Huang Daxian suddenly said.

A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "We must act immediately, to avenge the Holy Maiden."

"Exactly, we must let the entire cultivation world know that the Taiyin Holy Land is not to be provoked." Heifeng echoed.

His tone carried a hint of firmness.

The cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land were infected by the words of Huang Daxian and Heifeng, their emotions reignited.

They know, now is the time to act.

"Good, set out immediately, head to History Tiger City." An elder cultivator said in a deep voice.

A light of resolve flashed in his eyes.

"Because of the predecessors, please listen to the junior's words, or still issue the transmission jade slip, summon the Taiyin Holy Land's training cultivators. All are those who came to gather in Carefree Wanderer City.

After all, attacking History Tiger City, the Holy Domain and Xi Zhu affairs all ended in utter defeat, we these people going there, this..."

Huang Daxian hurriedly called out to these Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, his face showing a difficult expression.

"Fellow cultivators of the upper path, what this junior brother said is correct.

Better to issue the transmission jade slip to summon people, otherwise our going to History Tiger City will surely be a one-way trip."

At this moment, a Taiyin Holy Land cultivator nearby, upon hearing this, also echoed in agreement.

"Papapa..."

Soon, piece after piece of transmission jade slips were crushed, the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators were all contacting their training fellow disciples whom they knew in the Taiyi Holy Domain.

The cultivators of the Taiyin Holy Land began to gather in Carefree Wanderer City.

At the same time.

In History Tiger City, the demon master was quietly observing all this.

A hint of a smug smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Huang Daxian and Heifeng's performance was outstanding." The demon master said slowly, his voice carrying a hint of satisfaction, "They successfully stirred up the anger of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, while also gaining their trust."

"Next, we only need to wait for the action of the Taiyin Holy Land cultivators, and then seize the opportunity to guide them toward our preset trap." The demon master's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

Meanwhile, in other parts of Tianji Shengyu, cultivators from all major powers were closely watching this dispute, each seeking their own opportunity.

They sought to survive in this world full of variables, with every faction scheming for their own interests.
