Chapter 583

Another letter-delivering person came to visit.

Lin Jue had to come out of his seclusion and cultivation to receive them.

At this time, he no longer had time to make snacks, but he had four disciples, so he could still have desserts and snacks to entertain guests.

"I heard that the Purple Emperor is investigating Mount Yishan," Daoist Jiang said as soon as she opened her mouth. "It should be because you fellow disciples have attained the Dao as True Ones one after another, and the commotion was too great, arousing the wariness of the Purple Emperor."

"When did this happen?"

"I don't know. I just heard it recently," Daoist Jiang said. "Incense divine beings are already wary of the immortals of the Lingfa Sect, and the Purple Emperor is particularly overbearing and has long noticed you. This is not a good thing for you."

Lin Jue was calm, only asking: "What does the fellow Daoist think the Purple Emperor will do?"

"If it were ordinary loose immortals, the Heavenly Emperor would not care much, but you are from the same sect, coupled with your prestige in the human world, the Heavenly Emperor will be more wary. If it were just like this, no matter how overbearing he is, he is after all the Human-Divine Heavenly Emperor, and his heart and strength are all on eliminating demons and monsters. As long as you do not take the initiative to provoke him, at least until he finishes eliminating demons and monsters, he will not bother you. After eliminating demons and monsters, as long as you are willing to go to heaven and show submission to him respectfully, he will not make things difficult for you, and perhaps there might even be some benefits."

Daoist Jiang said, shaking her head:

"However, your cultivation of magic arts and cultivation experience in Mount Yishan have an inseparable relationship with demons, ghosts, and natural divine beings. The Purple Emperor will inevitably be suspicious because of this and come to test you.

"If you do not want to conflict with the Purple Emperor so early, you must find a way to avoid it.

"Now above the Nine Heavens, among the divine beings, some support the Purple Emperor in eliminating demons and monsters, and some do not support it, but not supporting does not mean opposing, while those who oppose are another part.

"However, the Purple Emperor is after all the master of the Nine Heavens. Except for those who strongly oppose him, as long as he gives an order, and it is a legitimate order, most divine beings will comply.

"And precisely because he is the Heavenly Emperor, the master of humans and gods in the Nine Heavens, and you fellow Daoists are human, as long as you avoid him, he will not make things difficult for you. After avoiding him, he will also be unable to find a legitimate reason. Without a legitimate reason, even if he is wary of you fellow Daoists and wants to deal with you, he will have no way to start, and the pressure you fellow Daoists receive will be very small."

Lin Jue heard this and could guess how the Heavenly Emperor would test and how he would find a legitimate reason.

In the late years of the previous dynasty, when Lord Tianweng was in power, when the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Baosheng wanted to deal with him, he also had to find a legitimate reason. At that time, he started from Third Shixiong Hua.

"Then how can we avoid it?"

"Simple, yet very difficult," Daoist Jiang shook her head and said. "Just be appropriately heartless and unrighteous."

"Then we cannot avoid it!"

Lin Jue said freely, then poured tea for her: "Haha, fellow Daoist, no need to worry. My Third Third Shixiong has his own arrangements."

"I will help you."

"I know."

A stream of tea poured down.

A stream of true fire rolled back to the sky, but was cut off by the long-snake divine lord with a sword.

The sword energy cut through the flames, still carrying some fire, and happened to cut through the middle of the white clouds and dark clouds that were rapidly approaching from below, cutting into the earth below.

The next moment, the white clouds and dark clouds collided together.

There was no boom or trembling; the two clouds touched and merged. What replaced them in making the collision sound were the soldiers and generals of both sides.

More than four thousand armored soldiers were refined by the immortals and were unprecedentedly powerful. Regardless of their bodies or strength, they could almost fight with the celestial soldiers, but their flexible tactics were slightly inferior, and they could not fly.

The two sides collided fiercely, just like two surging rivers colliding here.

"Whoosh!"

A divine general flew over holding a long spear. With a sweep of the spear, the armored soldiers below were immediately swept away, some crashing into the military formation behind them, some falling directly off the white clouds.

However, the next moment, the wind wailed, and a huge iron rod smashed over.

The divine general hurriedly blocked with his spear.

With a boom! He was smashed away directly!

The one holding the iron rod was one of the armored giant gods.

The armored giant god swung the iron rod, looked down, and saw many celestial soldiers and small generals flying into the air, either holding knives and aiming at the parts of its armor not yet covered to slash fiercely, or holding spears and stabbing at its eyes.

But what surprised them happened—

Under the armor of this armored giant god was not a mortal body, but wood, and not ordinary spiritual wood, but the body of a demon king who had attained the Dao as a True One. Their slashing not only had difficulty leaving marks, but even when they finally left marks on its body, they recovered as before in the blink of an eye.

During the siege, another armored giant god holding a golden mace walked forward from the clouds with heavy steps, directly passing over them.

With a kick, seven or eight celestial soldiers flew up.

With a swing of the golden mace, the front of the dark clouds was cleared.

There were twelve such giant gods, more than ten feet tall, made entirely of long-lived wood, carefully carved by immortals, refined for many years, originally extremely spiritual and mysterious, and also possessed infinite strength.

If it is said that the bean soldiers and armored soldiers were slightly at a disadvantage against the celestial soldiers, these twelve armored giant gods were completely not something that ordinary divine generals could deal with.

The two sides collided and fought fiercely.

And in the sky above the continuous white clouds and dark clouds, the three Daoists were also circling and confronting the long-snake divine lord.

"Long-snake divine lord, you are a divine being of the Nine Heavens, and these celestial soldiers and divine generals are also soldiers and generals of the Nine Heavens. We have no intention of opposing the Nine Heavens, but the Purple Emperor does not distinguish between good and evil, and wants to eliminate all non-humans. It is too overbearing, and it just happened to find the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan who has kindness to us, so we had to come here helplessly. Fighting like this will only increase casualties in vain!"

The First Third Third Shixiong was an honest man, persuading while casting spells.

One hand, Mountain Pressing Down!

Making the long-snake divine lord's body become extremely heavy, almost unable to fly.

One hand, Stone Sealing Technique!

Making the long-snake divine lord's body gradually become stiff.

He also always used the immobilization technique to affect him at the critical moment when the long-snake divine lord was fighting with the Third Third Third Shixiong who was holding a large sword, and from time to time, a sentence of "Persuading the Lord to Frown" made him distracted.

"Noisy!"

The long-snake divine lord was furious. Just as he turned his head to the right, wanting to angrily rebuke the Daoist who looked like an old farmer, he saw nine fire dragons surging over from the left, almost occupying half the sky.

That was a silent middle-aged Daoist.

This was originally the most common fire-element spell, but it was precisely this kind of common spell that, when cultivated to the peak, also had the great power to burn cities and destroy countries. I don't know what this Daoist usually does; it seems he only cultivates this spell, to the point that he actually has quite a bit of the majesty of the main god of the Fire Department in heaven, and even he dared not resist it hard.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The long-snake divine lord slashed out several sword energies in succession, crushing several fire dragons one after another.

"Please, Yili Shenjun, stop and withdraw your troops!" the First Third Third Shixiong requested. "Freeze!"

The long-snake divine lord's movements paused, and immediately a fire dragon found a gap and pounced on his face.

"Hiss!"

Such strong true fire!

The long-snake divine lord felt severe pain all over his body, but in his heart, he only sighed, gripped the long sword in his hand, and blocked horizontally with the sword. With a clang, he blocked a thick and large sword.

The firelight dissipated, and a Daoist with messy long hair was close to him, looking at each other.

"Hmph!"

The long-snake divine lord exerted force with his hand and pushed this Daoist away for who knows how far:

"Although your swordsmanship is not bad, it is still far from this lord! The sword in your hand is large, but it does not mean that the larger the sword, the greater the strength!"

Saying this, he threw the long sword in his hand—

In an instant, the long sword turned into tens of thousands, like a river of swords, shooting at the Daoist opposite together.

The Daoist turned into a clear breeze and left, and the river of swords chased the wind.

For a time, the sky was full of sword light shuttling endlessly.

The long-snake divine lord saw this Daoist fly off the clouds and head straight for the earth, and the river of long swords also turned down with him. The long-snake divine lord only guessed a little, and knew that this Daoist probably had some magical power to escape into the ground, wanting to use the earth to wear down these long swords and escape.

But he didn't care, just turned his head, staring fixedly at the Daoist who looked like an old farmer, gritting his teeth:

"I will slash you first!"

The divine lord's armor all over his body was burned red and bright, his hair curled, and his face scorched black, but he ignored it, holding his sword and going.

Usually, he could fly to the Daoist's side in an instant, but now, carrying a mountain on his back, it took a breath of time. Usually, he could cut off the Daoist's head in an instant, but now, with sand falling all over his body, it was also much slower.

He saw the Daoist dodge sideways, avoiding the precious sword:

"If we were to eliminate evil demons and monsters, we could have fought side by side with the Yili Shenjun. Why must it be like this today?"

While speaking, he slapped out with a palm.

What great courage!

Bare-handed, he actually dared to move against a Husheng Husheng Zhenjun!

The long-snake divine lord was truly pressed by the mountain and sealed by the stone, making it difficult to dodge, but he also disdained to dodge, because the palm of most Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Martial Gods would not hurt him, let alone an immortal who cultivates magic arts?

Yet he never expected that under one palm, the extremely hard armor on his body actually shattered in response, and even turned into animal powder.

The body under the armor was equally hard and equally painful.

"The Ancestor of Mount Tianshan is virtuous and highly esteemed, and is of advanced age, and has not committed evil. Please let her go, Yili Shenjun."

The Daoist who looked like an old farmer flew back, his gaze low while speaking, looking at the injury on the Yili Shenjun's chest.

Unfortunately, his attainments are not as good as the Junior Sister's...

"Your Majesty, the long-snake divine lord has returned."

"How is the battle situation?"

"The Western Regions are too far, lacking incense offerings, and the Yili Shenjun's divine power has been weakened, and there is a lack of follow-up. A total of three immortals came out, plus the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan. The long-snake divine lord did not have the advantage and had to withdraw his troops."

"Meaning they fought?"

"They fought."

"Hmph!"

The Purple Emperor stood up and suddenly smiled: "A good Mount Yishan! As human immortals, they actually resisted the celestial soldiers because of different kinds! This path to immortality for the Lingfa Sect should have been blocked long ago!"

Then he turned his head and asked:

"What about the Mount Tianshan snow lotus?"

"Before those three immortals arrived, it was almost burned clean by us."

"That's good..."

The Purple Emperor nodded and began to ponder:

"A Mount Yishan, producing several immortals one after another, yet not living in seclusion, but entering the world very deeply!"

"Gathering beasts and birds, associating with demons!"

"Living in Mount Yishan, taken care of by the Mountain Yili Shenjun of Mount Yishan!"

"And there is an 'Ji Xianren Lin', who not only relies on human prestige to shield demons, dares to move against Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect, but also secretly communicates with the Southern Divine System, and even lives with a nine-tailed demon fox, taking demons as disciples!"

The Purple Emperor seemed to be smiling and angry, and also seemed to be listing their crimes:

"If they didn't associate with demons, that would be fine, but as immortals, they don't stand on the side of humanity, but run to shield demons. They truly deserve to be executed!"

"Your Majesty means..."

"Originally, I said I would tolerate them for a few more decades. Now it seems that in a few decades, I am afraid there will be more immortals."

The Purple Emperor paused and asked again: "What does the Heavenly Secret High Yili Shenjun think should be done?"

The voice of another old god came from the side:

"Teachers must have a name, and blaming people must have etiquette. We should first send divine officials to Mount Yishan to question why they blocked the celestial soldiers from eliminating demons, then start clearing Mount Yishan, check how many demons in the mountain have committed evil, and how many people have entered Mount Yishan. After finding out, mobilize the Nine Heavens True Lords and divine beings to first take down the demons in Mount Yishan and the Mountain Yili Shenjun of Mount Yishan, and return the mountain to human gods and the human world.

"If they do not block, there is no need to make things difficult for them. If there is blocking and resistance, we can order the long-snake and giant-defense divine lords to attack, and order the White Rainbow Ji Xianren Old Man and the Dan Fire True Person to assist, and wipe out Mount Yishan in one fell swoop!

"Arrest these immortals to warn others, and it also happens that after eliminating demons and monsters, we can block the cultivation of the Lingfa Sect and not let people become immortals again."

The Purple Emperor listened and nodded.

The divine official on the side also hurriedly wrote it down.

He came from the north. When this Heavenly Emperor was the Northern Great Emperor, he knew the thunderous means of the Northern demons and the miserable state of the Northern demons like the back of his hand, so he was not surprised at all. After thinking about it, he just asked another sentence: "There were some demons in Mount Yishan who had a deep relationship with the Fuqiu Temple. They were a group of cat demons, but they were conferred as righteous gods in the previous dynasty and later dismissed."

"Actually conferring demons as gods! Truly muddled!" the Purple Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious," the Heavenly Secret High Yili Shenjun said. "We can first ask, how did they perform during their time as gods?"

"It seems they were quite diligent, and their reputation was not bad."

"In that case, we can conscript them to cooperate in eliminating demons. If they cooperate, we can let them go, as a favor to the 'divine being'. If they don't cooperate, it's not too late to punish them!"

The Purple Emperor closed his eyes and nodded.

"Yes!" the divine official said. "And Ji Xianren Lin..."

"Ji Xianren Lin..."

When it came to this one, the Heavenly Secret High Yili Shenjun did not dare to speak.

This was neither a demon nor a monster, but an immortal with high merit, Dao practice, and prestige. Logically speaking, he should be an object of respect for the Nine Heavens divine beings.

"Investigate him too!" The Purple Emperor suddenly opened his eyes. "No matter how high his merit and prestige are, as long as he shields demons, it won't work! As long as the fox by his side is indeed related to Lady Yao Hua, it is subsidizing the revival of the Great Ji Xianren of the Many Yaoguai Race, turning the battle achievements of Lord Tianweng into ashes, and is an enemy of the Nine Heavens!"

"Will the Nine Heavens divine beings recognize it?"

"Does Lady Yao Hua dare not recognize it? Have you forgotten the great battle of that year?"

"Hmm..."

The divine official and the Heavenly Secret High Yili Shenjun looked at each other and nodded.
