Chapter 459

But the Grand Boss didn't know that Xiao Sanshao had been guided by Ximen Wudi.

He had already concluded that these two damned sons of his were the originators of the millennium calamity.

Therefore, he was already on his way to deal with these two damned sons.

Had the Xuanhua Company not kept its existence a secret, Xiao Sanshao would have arrived long ago.

"Enough!"

The Grand Boss no longer wished to discuss it further,

"Second point, pay attention to this as well."

"The Bu Clan of the Divine Race, descendants of the Heavenly Gods."

"For the Heaven's Dao Golden List to give such an evaluation, I find it far from simple."

"Send one of you to the Central Plains to see if you can uncover any information about the Bu Clan of the Divine Race."

When the Heaven's Dao Golden List bestows martial arts, it usually specifies the rank of the Wu Gong.

For example, the Immortal-ranked "Buddha's Divine Palm" and "Demon Heart Seeding Dao Art."

But this time, for the "Transcend Heaven Divine Art," the Heaven's Dao Golden List made no indication.

The Grand Boss's first thought: this was abnormal!

Moreover, could a descendant of the Bu Clan of the Divine Race really become a Land Immortal at twenty?

Although my elder brother and I, through the "Hun Tian Si Jue" and "Ten Thousand Dao Forest," also cultivate rapidly,

we certainly were not Land Immortals at twenty.

This means the Bu Clan of the Divine Race and the "Transcend Heaven Divine Art" are highly abnormal!

"Yes!"

The several Grand Bosses responded to the order.

……

In Hangzhou, Song Dynasty, within Xihu, the Search God Palace.

Master Changsheng, the Immortal Who Never Dies, returned here due to news of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

Upon seeing the message from the Heaven's Dao Golden List, he was utterly stunned.

"This… Bu Yuanting? Does our Bu Clan of the Divine Race still have someone like this alive?"

Indeed, Master Changsheng was a member of the Bu Clan of the Divine Race!

"Divine General!"

"Present!"

"Summon Old Fahai to see me at once."

"As you command, Master!"

Not long after, an old monk with white hair and beard walked in slowly.

"Master, you called me?"

"Old Fahai! The descendant of the Bu Clan of the Divine Race has finally appeared. You know what I want, don't you?"

Master Changsheng's eyes were filled with urgency.

Had he not needed to remain in the Search God Palace, he would not have merely sent for Old Fahai.

"The old monk knows."

Old Fahai nodded and raised one finger,

"But after this matter is settled, only one task remains."

"I know! Go quickly!"

Master Changsheng waved his hand impatiently.

As Old Fahai was about to leave, he called out again,

"Also, investigate whether Bu Yuanting left any descendants behind."

"If so, bring them to me as well."

"Good, good!"

Old Fahai chanted a Buddhist mantra and withdrew from Master Changsheng's bedchamber.

Outside, he happened to meet a stunningly beautiful white-robed woman.

"Huh? Master Fahai, where are you going?"

"Divine Princess, you'd better not ask."

Old Fahai gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and ignored the Divine Princess, walking slowly away.

"Hmph, the more you refuse, the more curious I am…"

The Divine Princess pouted, ready to sneak after Old Fahai.

But a man clad entirely in armor blocked her path,

"Divine Princess! Where are you headed?"

"Divine General? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"

The Divine Princess pouted, looking haughty and imperious.

"Naturally not."

The Divine General's expression remained calm,

"But just now, the Master summoned the Divine Mother inside…"

"Ah?"

The Divine Princess immediately abandoned thoughts of Old Fahai and headed toward Master Changsheng's bedchamber.

290—The Past of Flooding Jin Shan!

Great Tang, Great Ming Palace.

"What is the story of Flooding Jin Shan within Great Song territory?"

Wu Zetian did not bring up the Bu Clan Divine Race first; instead, she turned her attention to this Scripture King.

"Reporting to Your Majesty."

Shangguan Wan'er was erudite and had a powerful memory; many intelligence reports, as long as she thought about them briefly, she could recall them at once.

"Legend has it that fifty years ago, in Hangzhou of Great Song, there was a juren named Xu Xian."

"He fell in love with a snake demon, and their union was not accepted by the world."

"The abbot of Jin Shan Temple, the monk Fahai, took action, wanting to subdue the snake demon."

"He never expected his dharma power to be insufficient, no match for the snake demon."

"With no other choice, he came up with the underhanded scheme of luring Xu Xian into monastic life, then forcing the snake demon to submit."

"He disguised himself as a wandering monk, found Xu Xian, and pointed out that his wife was a snake demon."

"Xu Xian, in terror, immediately followed Fahai back to Jin Shan Temple to take monastic vows."

"The snake demon, in a rage, together with her younger sister the green snake Xiao Qing, cast a spell."

"It caused the waters of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, Great Song, to surge violently, flooding Jin Shan Temple."

"Hangzhou's common folk suffered countless casualties as a result, and monks of Jin Shan Temple also met with disaster in no small number."

"In the end, the snake demon thereby violated the Heavenly Laws, and was justly suppressed beneath Lei Fengta by Fahai."

"Lord Shangguan, this…"

The assembled civil and military officials listened, exchanging uncertain glances.

What kind of ghost intelligence is this?

A snake demon?

Are you sure you haven't gotten it wrong?

Not only does this world have dragons, but now demons too?

And violating the Heavenly Laws?

Does that mean there's a Heavenly Court as well?

Lord Shangguan, we've read few books, you mustn't speak nonsense!

Wu Zetian, upon hearing this story, did not laugh; instead, she burst into furious cursing,

"The men of the world are mostly fickle and unkind."

"What kind of dog-fart Xu Xian is this—even if the snake demon is not human, isn't she still his wife?"
