Chapter 140 Shocking the Crowd With One Move

Li Changshou was in a good mood as he rode the clouds along the green mountains and rivers. He was much more confident than before.

He looked up to see the essence of the Earth and spat the essence of the Sun and Moon.

Warm sunlight suddenly shone into the dark, cold, and dark Primordial World…

“I’m not alone.”

Finally, he found a rare sense of approval!

Li Changshou felt a little poetic. He pondered for a while and said, “Although I have a huge backer now, I can’t relax.”

The Great Daoist Master’s arrival had indeed given him a booster. He now had a safety net. He had truly cozied up to the powerful big shot of Ren School.

However, there were two core members of Ren School. From the Sect Leader to the Head Disciple, they were all compliant and quiet.

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du gave Li Changshou that warning so as to prevent Li Changshou from being conceited and complacent just because he had obtained the favor of the Saint…

Actually, the Great Daoist Master’s warning did not mean much to Li Changshou.

As soon as he bid farewell to the Great Daoist Master, Li Changshou thought about something…

“Why would I gain the favor of the Saint Lord?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and slowly thought about it.

Firstly, the Sea God Sect of the South Ocean involved the karma of the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race. That was why he had impressed the Sage.

Secondly, his previous actions should have been in line with the old Saint’s intentions. That was why he helped him to conceal the heavenly secret and tasked him with the mission to lead the dragon race to heaven. After piecing the clues together, Li Changshou began to figure everything out. Li Changshou knew very well that the founder did not give him benefits just because of his handsome face.

In order to obtain the protection of the Saint, he had to prove that he had a certain value. He had to maintain the principle of “keeping calm with inaction and avoiding karma”!

At the same time, he could not lower his cultivation level. Only by entering the Golden Immortal Realm would he be able to continue working for the Saint and obtain his protection.

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and sighed in his heart…

Those who are good at using tools could not help but become tools.

This is probably… the same meaning as “the young man who slays dragons will eventually become an evil dragon”.

He scanned the valley with his immortal senses and realized that the Great Daoist Master was indeed not around. Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed in the forest below.

He sneaked underground and returned to the Immortal Du Sect.

In Li Changshou’s opinion, there were only two real meanings for him to cozy up to the powerful Great Daoist Master…

Firstly, his previous lies had come true.

He had more confidence in the matters of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean.

Secondly, he had directly reduced most of the pressure on “Daoist Wen”.

As long as the Great Daoist Master appeared in the South Ocean and said “don’t hurt mortals”, he would be able to achieve the effect of shocking many with one stone.

The dragon race would probably think that the Great Daoist Master had appeared to support the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean, thus confirming that the Sea God Sect was the incense-merit machine of Ren School.

The dragon race would naturally place more importance on the Sea God Sect. Their pride, their current predicament, and the fear in their hearts would make them clutch at their last straw, the Sea God Sect, tightly.

As for the Western Sect, Daoist Wen should be a little wary.

However, the Great Daoist Master only said “don’t harm mortals” and did not say anything else. What he meant was actually… “You can go to the sea to fight.”

Those words do fit the image of the Senior Brother of Ren School.

When the Western Sect converges their merit in the western part of the South Continent, they should also pay attention.

If Li Changshou was right, the Western Sect would continue to plot against the dragon race and integrate them into the Western Sect’s factions.

He had to plan carefully and make full use of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean. When the dragon race felt that they could no longer bear the burden, he would pull the dragon race into the Heavenly Courts and make them provide support for the Jade Emperor…

Fighting for the dragon race with the Western Sect would be no different from snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.

Before today, there was only a vague existence of the Jade Emperor behind Li Changshou. Naturally, he did not dare to do

So.

However, Li Changshou now had a Saint who had helped him to deceive the heavens. Moreover, he was the strongest person among the six Saints… Next, as long as Li Changshou was careful enough and did not expose his true body or implicate his karma, he could give it a try!

That was the first mission given by the Sage.

It concerned his future and fate. He had to be cautious and give it his all.

After Li Changshou returned to the mountain, he had originally wanted to invite his master and junior sister to a meal of frog and fish hotpot to celebrate and study the two jade tokens that he had just obtained…

Now, he felt that…

He first listed out the possible reactions that the Western Sect and the dragon race might have. Then, according to those possibilities, he would make plans for the future. It was the most important thing to plan, lest he got flustered!

He traveled underground until he was three hundred kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect.

Li Changshou changed his direction and rode the cloud at the speed that a disciple of the Dao Requital realm should have. He slowly returned.

For example, when the Great Daoist Master heard that he was the Sect Master of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean, he was slightly surprised…

As long as Ao Yi did not expose himself, who would have thought that the Sect Leader of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean would be a young disciple of the Immortal Du Sect who had yet to become an immortal?

To Li Changshou, that disguise was one of his trump cards.

It was more important.

In Daoist Wen Jing’s Cave Abode near the spirit mountain in Aparagodānīya Continent, a buzzing mosquito sounded as Daoist Wen Jing appeared out of thin air and stood in front of the two maidservants who were cultivating.

The two maidservants trembled. Before they could open their eyes, Daoist Wen Jing swiped her hand and the two maidservants immediately turned into ashes…

“Did I let you cultivate?” Daoist Wen Jing said coldly. As her dress fluttered, the sound of water came from the Cave Abode.

When her dress fell, she was already seated in the treasure pool that was emitting a dense spiritual aura. She pinched a spiritual lotus with her slender fingers and slowly tore the petals of the lotus into pieces…

That was an effective method for her to stay calm.

After all, most people who had lived for that long had little fetishes that others did not understand.

“What a cunning dragon! My children have been buried by you people like this! You even scattered their ashes!” Daoist Wen Jing gritted her teeth and cursed. However, she slowly exhaled right after.

It was just that she was not doing well.

This time, the Second Sect Master had given her 30% of her clansmen. She had arranged for 10% of her clansmen to ambush that batch of dragons. She had thought that she would win.

She did not expect that the other party was way too cunning. She was not stable enough!

With so many clansmen dead, as the queen, she naturally felt heartache.

However, even though her heart ached, as long as the batch of old mosquitoes in the clan were still around, they would be able to be born again after tens of thousands of years…

As she gradually suppressed his anger, that figure appeared in Daoist Wen Jing’s heart again…

The Great Daoist Master Xuandu!

She wanted to grit her teeth and vent her anger, but her heart trembled a few times. She recalled the fear and helplessness she felt when Xuan Du came looking for her…

That man could not be provoked.

“Next, I have to avoid the humans… The Sea God Sect in the South Ocean is indeed a shadow of Ren School.”

Daoist Wen Jing groaned softly. The petals had been torn into pieces and scattered in the

water.

It seemed that she had to start with the dragon race.

Normally, she would have to produce results within a thousand years after receiving orders from the Second Sect Master.

Are there any weaknesses in the dragon race that can be exploited?

Daoist Wen Jing pinched her fingers and deduced. Her narrow, phoenix-like eyes were slightly squinted. The smile on her lips was extremely charming, but it was also cold.

She remembered that a few years ago, some Immortal Flood Dragon troops were unhappy with the dragon race and had rebelled…

“I can make use of this.”

At the same time, in the ocean south of Anshui City.

“Is he really the Great Daoist Master Xuan

Du?”

“Absolutely. He is indeed the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. We should not have missed anything.”

“So what if he’s the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du? Do we dragons still need to rely on them?”

“That’s right. The Sea God Sect’s incense offerings are originally for Nephew Ao Yi.”

Sitting in the flood dragon carriage, Ao Yi could not help but laugh bitterly when he heard the words of his uncles who were outside.

After all, there were people who did not want to admit the fact that the dragon race was weak. They forced themselves to be stubborn and even said that the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect was nothing.

Ao Yi saw that the jaws of his two uncles, who were shouting the loudest, had almost dropped when the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du appeared!

Shaking his head, Ao Yi took out a palm-sized mirror and activated the restrictions on it.

*Buzz*

The mirror trembled a few times, and an image immediately appeared.

Ao Yi saw his father lying on the rainbow coral throne. There were a few gentle sea maidens beside him who were fanning him, massaging his legs and shoulders, and serving tea.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean was also the current Patriarch of the dragon race. He sat in the four seas and had countless treasures. That was what the life of a dragon was like…

It was boring, absurd, and mundane. He heard an old and shaky voice at the side. “Your Majesty, His Highness wishes to see you.”

Ao Yi naturally knew that the voice belonged to his father’s subordinate, Prime Minister Turtle.

“Ao Yi.” The Dragon King opened his eyes and waved to motion for the sea maiden to go away. He looked at Ao Yi through the mirror.

Ao Yi immediately sat up straight and tensed

up.

“Father, I’m here!”

“Yes, I know about the battle over there. You did well.”

Ao Yi’s lips curled up slightly when he heard that. However, he quickly lowered his head and said, “It’s all thanks to the guidance of the expert. I don’t dare to take credit.”

The Dragon King of the East Ocean smiled and said, “You didn’t cultivate for nothing in Golden Ao Island.

“Remember to place more treasures in the Sea God Sect later. Our race cannot owe the Sea God a favor.”

“I understand. I will arrange it later. Father, I want to return to Golden Ao Island to cultivate.”

“Go ahead.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean waved his hand. “My son is hardworking and kind. I am very happy. You don’t have to bother about the matter of gifting treasures. I will make the arrangements.”

Then, the mirror vibrated and the image in the mirror gradually disappeared.

Ao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and put away the mirror.

He was actually very afraid that his father would ask him who the Sect Leader of the Sea God Sect was. If his father really asked, Ao Yi did not know if he would answer…

“Brother Changshou, what should I do to repay you?”

The East Ocean Dragon King’s decree was quickly sent over. When Ao Yi left the army and was escorted back to Golden Ao Island, a group of Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers carried dozens of huge boxes and headed towards Anshui City.

Not to mention what was inside the box, just the boxes themselves… were rare materials for refining artifacts…

Two days later, in the empty Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the Nine-layered Celestial Palace, General Dongmu rode on a cloud and headed straight into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He bowed and said,

“Your Majesty, we have investigated what happened to the Sea God Sect two days ago.”

“Oh?”

The white-robed young man, who was on the pedestal, put down the jade pen in his hand.

“Speak.”

“I’ll do as you say. Someone has schemed against the dragon race and used the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean to ambush the dragon race’s troops. However, they were pulled into an ambush by the dragon race. I could not deduce and investigate the people who schemed against the dragon race. However, the ones who appeared were the ancient ferocious beasts, Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes. There are only two clans that can release so many Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes now…”

The white-robed young man nodded slowly. He naturally understood who General Dongmu was referring to.

“They never took me seriously.” The white-robed young man sighed slowly. A glint flashed across his eyes, and he instantly smiled again as usual.

“Later, bring some rewards to the Sea God Sect, General Dongmu.

Since the decree has not been completed, I can only comfort this… this… beloved

guest…”

The Jade Emperor paused and pinched his fingers to deduce. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “General Dongmu, remember to ask for the name and Dao name of the Sea God this time.”

General Dongmu was stunned. At that moment, he suddenly realized that he did not know of the Sea God’s name.

He did not even know about his alias.
