Chapter 642: Study of Speech

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Senior Sister, in the next few days… Ahem, I accidentally deduced that many things will happen. If one day, the immortals of Jie School followed Senior Brother Duobao to surround the spiritual mountain, the Western Sect would definitely deny it. According to my deduction, the Western Sect’s quibbles are mainly divided into three types. Firstly, they would deny it at all costs and say that they did not do those insulting things. If that’s the case, don’t bother about it. Just pretend that I did not say those words. Senior Brother Duobao and the others can easily deal with it. At that time, it should have been irrefutable evidence. Secondly, the Western Sect will admit their mistake and find a scapegoat to try and extinguish the anger of Jie School. That is the usual method of the Western Sect. They will even kill that scapegoat in front of you. At this moment, you can choose to stand up or not… If you stand up, use your advantage. Act a little melancholic and a little worried. Stand in the position of the Western Sect and distinguish a few words. Then, apologize on their behalf. I will designate what to say later.”

“The third scenario is that the Western Sect will produce the so-called evidence to prove that the stone monuments were framed by others and can justify themselves. At that time, you have to stand up and bite them to death.”

“Bite me to death? Should I just pounce forward and bite me? Ahwooh, is that so? However, I cultivate my essence soul mystical abilities and defensive mystical abilities…”

“…Wait, I’m thinking about whether I should hand such a crucial plan to you.”

“Huh?”

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit controlled her expression and observed the situation in front of her.

She could do it.

However, it was her first time playing dirty tricks. She was a little nervous. Her Dao heart, which had been silent for hundreds of years, was beating wildly.

Junior Brother Changgeng is really a good person.

He is handsome and smart. He always has all kinds of schemes. There are no problems that could stump him.

Occasionally, she would hear her master praise Junior Brother Changgeng and say that he had probably been scheming against the Heavenly Dao…

It was scary.

Ah, I can’t think too much. I have to pay attention to the situation.

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit woke up secretly and stared at the Western Sect’s response.

Before they came, Eldest Senior Brother Duobao had already sent a voice transmission to them and asked them to surround them first and not move. He wanted Senior Sister Jin Ling to unleash her abilities at will. His goal was to force the two Saints of the Western Sect out.

In order to prevent the Saint from killing the experts on their side, they had to wait for the Saint to start the battle. The disciples would fight again. It was the situation that Jie School wanted to see the most.

Of course, the two Saints of the Western Sect would definitely deal with it. The battle today was far from as simple as “surround and kill”. There were layers of schemes inside.

Just as Junior Brother Changgeng had said, the key to victory was whether he could force the Saint of the Western Sect out.

That meant that Jie School was in the right. Moreover, it could create an endless pressure on the Western Sect.

The “mission” that Junior Brother Changgeng had arranged for him was difficult and important.

What the Goddess of Turtle Spirit saw…

The few old Daoists of the Western Sect were so frightened that they could not say anything.

Thousands of immortals on their side had surrounded the spiritual mountain. Almost all the elites of Jie School had attacked, and they were suppressing everything within a 50,000-kilometer radius.

Heaven and earth changed, and the universe distorted.

It was as if he wanted to sink the Aparagodānīya Continent from the Primordial World.

That was because his junior brothers and sisters had restrained themselves and did not reveal their Dao Realm. They had adopted a threatening posture.

The Dragon-Tiger Ruyi in Senior Sister Jin Ling’s hand shone brightly. Senior Sister Yun Xiao’s Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice also shone brightly.

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit understood. Her eyes emitted green light, and the jade flute in her hand emitted waves.

The immortals of Jie School, show your Dharma treasures!

“Wait! Wait!”

An old Daoist priest from the Western Sect shouted, “There seems to be a misunderstanding between us!”

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit almost broke her cultivation.

OT These people are really like what Junior Brother Changgeng had said. Usually, when they bullied good people, they would be rude and overbearing. They would smile coldly and say, “You and the Western Sect are fated.” They would do all kinds of bad things and not have any good intentions.

However, when they encountered such a predicament and were suppressed by a faction stronger than them, they would be like turtles hiding in their shells and shirking their responsibilities.

The Western Sect was rotten from the roots. It was completely because of the Sect Master’s bad character.

With that thought, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit no longer felt any guilt in her heart. She began to prepare her battle tactics and was prepared to say her lines.

It would depend on which script the Western Sect chose!

According to their agreement on the way, Junior Sister Qiong Xiao stood up…

Qiong Xiao’s face turned slightly cold. The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in her hand let out a roar. The Dragon Binding Ropes circling around her were like an azure dragon that had come to life.

She shouted coldly, “Misunderstanding? Then we have too many misunderstandings. Western Sect! You have begun to poach the disciples of Jie School from the ancient times to enter the Western Sect. You even used all your methods to force them! My master took into account that the two Saints of the Western Sect were listening to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace and did not mind. You actually think that Jie School is easy to bully! All these years, you have been sowing discord between the three sects of my Dao Sect! The two sects of Chan School had clashed and bled several times. Every time, there was a shadow of your Western Sect! The Western Sect is looking forward to prosperity. You claim that you have the destiny, but you are unscrupulous in order to prosper. You are really not ashamed! Ugh! Now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, you have offended my brother-in-law and have been arranged to enter the Great Tribulation. You don’t even think about how to survive the Great Tribulation. You are still using your schemes to entice Chan School to join forces and go against Jie School. You treat the relatives of the three sects of the Dao Sect as nothing! Are you deliberately making up stories with these stone monuments? Why? Do you want to make people feel that the battle between Chan and Jie was set in ancient times? You can kill me! Jie School and you will die today!”

After saying that, Qiong Xiao’s chest kept rising and falling. She was really angry. She threw the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors at the five old Daoists in front of her.

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit was shocked. She was really afraid that Qiong Xiao would lure the Saint out.

The Golden Flood Dragon shears transformed into the Primordial Azure Dragon. The old Daoists were already on guard. They attacked together. Treasure light bloomed. Under their combined efforts, they blocked the Golden Flood Dragon shears.

Since he could be chosen as the Deputy Sect Master, he naturally had his own skills.

Qiong Xiao glared and immediately wanted to move forward, but she was stopped by Fairy Yun Xiao’s gaze.

Yun Xiao took a step forward.

With just one step, the old Daoists retreated. Their eyes were filled with fear as the treasure light in their hands shone brightly.

An old Daoist priest hurriedly shouted, “Fairy, don’t attack! Could it be that Jie School is so unreasonable that they want to destroy my spiritual mountain without any explanation?! They are both from the Saint’s sect. They are too much!”

Yun Xiao opened her thin lips and her voice floated into the clouds, echoing throughout the spiritual mountain.

“It’s right and wrong. No matter how you quibble about this matter, it’s already done. Since the Western Sect has chosen to oppose Jie School and is vicious, wanting to make Jie School and Chan School fight to the death, is it unreasonable for Jie School to come today and fight to the death with you?”

“I haven’t found out the origins of these stone tablets!”

“The Immortal Alliance is clearly framing us!”

“The Western Sect and Jie School have always minded our own business. Why… why can’t it be Chan School’s scheme?”

Yun Xiao frowned and was about to attack.

Qiong Xiao snorted and pointed at the old Daoists.

“Did you just say that the Immortal Alliance is framing you? Then, do you mean that the Heavenly Courts are deliberately targeting you? In other words, are you saying that my brother-in-law is deliberately slandering your spiritual mountain?”

The old Daoists frowned. One of them hurriedly said, “No…”

“Alright, I understand!” Qiong Xiao turned around and left. “Wait for me for a while. I’ll go to the Heavenly Courts to call my brother-in-law and let him uphold justice!”

“No need!”

A Deputy Sect Master of the Western Sect shouted, “Fairy, wait. There’s no need to trouble Taibai Jinxing! This matter… Ah! I don’t want to wash dirty linen in public.”

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit, who had been waiting, felt her heart skip a beat.

It’s here!

Many gazes landed on the old Daoist priest. The latter sighed and said slowly, “This matter was indeed done by a disciple of the Western Sect. However, he acted rashly without permission. It has nothing to do with the Western Sect. Recently, the killing tribulation has appeared. Everyone in the Western Sect is rather anxious. A disciple has reported to Teacher that he wants to sow discord between the Dao Sect and the Tribulation Sect. He wants the two tigers to fight and get injured first. How childish and disgraceful! Teacher had reprimanded that junior brother and expelled him from the spiritual mountain. We can testify to that. We saw it with our own eyes. I never expected that he would use his identity to go to the trichiliocosm and find a place where incense is burning brightly. He did such a shady business…”

The old Daoist priest was really sincere when he told the story. When he spoke of the grievances, his eyes were filled with tears.

His feelings were simply…

In front of the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak in the Grand White Palace of the Heavenly Courts.

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but mutter, “Is that true?”

“Of course not,” Li Changshou said slowly. “It’s clearly a plan that the Western Sect has prepared. It’s just a common trick that they want to make matters smaller and trivial.”

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Could it be that these are your masterpieces, Junior Brother?”

Li Changshou nodded and said, “How is that possible? Of course not. Senior Brother, you don’t know how busy I have been recently. I’ve been running around. It’s obvious that the Western Sect is deliberately trying to sow discord between the Dao Sect. Their crimes cannot be forgiven.”

The people present immediately understood something. They did not say anything and continued to pay attention to the development of the situation. The Taiji Painting was on standby.

The bronze mirror revealed that after the old Daoist priest finished telling the story, the Western Sect handed over a Golden Immortal Daoist who had been beaten to the point of being on the verge of death. Before Jie School could speak, they directly killed that person, destroyed his essence soul, and handed over his head.

The Goddess of Golden Spirit cursed the Western Sect for being shameless and immediately wanted to throw out the jade Ruyi.

The few Deputy Sect Masters of the Western Sect cried and shouted that Jie School was unreasonable because they wanted to bully others.

The immortals of Jie School approached 1,000 feet forward. However, an ice-cold Dao rune circulated everywhere, causing the Zenith Heaven and Golden Immortals to be frightened.

Those were the Dao runes of the Saint.

The words of the Deputy Sect Masters of the Western Sect changed.

An old Daoist priest shouted, “Jie School is really good. Are they going to dominate the Primordial World?”

“Since you’re doing this, have you ever seen the pride of a Saint? If we dare to take half a step forward, we will risk our lives to protect the sacred ground of the spiritual mountain! I will definitely ask Teacher to take action and leave all of you at the foot of the Spirit Mountain!”

Jin Ling was extremely angry. She immediately wanted to fight and touch the Saint.

Daoist Duobao, who was hiding in the dark, sighed when he saw that. He knew that he had to appear and would be in a passive position.

The Western Sect had two Saints. That was the most troublesome problem.

Today, Jie School was determined to beat the Saint of the Western Sect into a tree stump without leaves. They had to first force Zhun Ti or Jie Yin out and let the Grandmaster of Heaven drag him to the battle in the outer space.

The eldest senior brother, Duobao, was at the opposite position of Jie School and the Saint Zhun Ti.

Therefore, Duobao was the first to hide. He was prepared to appear when the situation became passive later. As long as Duobao appeared after Saint Zhun Ti or at the same time, Jie School would win half of the battle today.

It was not impossible for them to forcefully push the spiritual mountain away. That would result in heavy casualties. The immortals of the Jie School would have to face the anger of at least half of the Saints.

Although there were usually many handsome, elegant, and lovable human Qi Refinement Warriors who liked to talk about the strength of the Sixth Saint, the Saint realm completely crushed the Zenith Heaven realm.

Unless he killed three corpses and was a quasi-saint who was only a step away from the Saint realm, he could only persist and fight when he faced the Sixth Saint. It was impossible for him to win.

At that moment, the “large half of the sky” of Jie School was clearly not enough for the Western Sect. Duobao had no choice…

“That, that!”

A clear voice suddenly sounded. The tense spiritual mountain seemed to have been hit by the pause button.

Many gazes and immortal senses looked towards the source of the clear voice. They saw a fairy dressed in a thin green dress holding a jade flute in her hand nervously. She slowly floated to Fairy Yun Xiao’s side and whispered, “Senior Sister Jin Ling, I think we’re… a little too domineering today.”

The immortals of Jie School were puzzled. A few of them were stunned.

The Western Sect was stunned at first. Then, they were overjoyed. When they looked at the fairy, it was as if they had seen a brand new Saint.

Does Jie School have different opinions?

At this juncture, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, one of the eight disciples, actually stood up for the Western Sect?

A god-given opportunity!

However, what the Daoists of the Western Sect did not realize was that at that moment, they could only shout, “Fairy, you are righteous! The sin of the Western Sect is not like this!”

He did not know what to say.

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit said gently, “Let’s talk about it. Indeed, they don’t seem to be guilty.”

Qiong Xiao hurriedly sent a voice transmission. “What are you talking about?! This is the moment of the survival of the sect!”

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit could only look at her apologetically and continued, “Senior Sister Jin Ling, Senior Sister Yun Xiao, aren’t we a little too radical? The Western Sect has already used the lives of their disciples as compensation. Are we going to destroy their spiritual mountain today?”

The immortals of Jie School frowned. They did not understand what was going on.

The Daoists of the Western Sect sighed.

The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned slightly but said, “Junior Sister, I know that your heart is soft and you can’t bear to see the living beings suffer. However, it was the Western Sect who wanted to kill us first today.”

“Why do you say that?”

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit said seriously, “The Jie School is known as the Immortal Dynasty. We have the most disciples in the Saint’s sect. Moreover, we are cultivating on Immortal Island. There is no direct conflict with the Western Sect. Logically speaking, they should not have the intention to go against us. We should investigate clearly if there are any other schemes. It’s not too late to look for them.”

“Junior Sister, you…”

The Goddess of Golden Spirit’s eyes flickered with golden light, as if it wanted to see through the Goddess of Turtle Spirit.

At that moment, Yun Xiao, who had already figured out the plan, said gently, “Their Western Sect has a direct conflict with us.”

“Senior Sister, please teach me.” The Goddess of Turtle Spirit looked at various parts of the spiritual mountain and said gently, “I feel that since I can become the Saint, I’m naturally a noble person recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Since it’s a Saint’s sect, it will naturally be restrained by the Saint. It can’t be that bad, right?”

On the Little Qiong Peak, the Great Daoist Master and Kong Xuan looked at the scene in the copper mirror in confusion.

Kong Xuan was puzzled. “Is there a traitor in Jie School? Or is he the eldest disciple? Why is he jumping back?”

“Changshou, what do you mean?”

The Great Daoist Master was puzzled. “Why did Junior Sister Turtle Spirit defend the other party?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother, don’t be anxious. Yun probably already knows. I’ve given Yun some hints previously. At this moment, I can act with Senior Sister Turtle Spirit.”

“What kind of logic is that?” Kong Xuan asked in confusion.

Li Changshou looked at Ling’e, who was beside him. The latter blinked and whispered, “Could it be that move?”

“Which move?” Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with mischief. “Tell me in detail.”

Ling’e giggled. “I don’t know either.”

Li Changshou was about to explain when a conversation sounded in the copper mirror.

Yun Xiao sighed softly and said, “Junior Sister, your thoughts are too pure.”

The Goddess of Golden Spirit said coldly, “Let’s not talk about their actions in the past few hundred years. Just before the Great Tribulation, the Western Sect prospered for themselves. They only spread some teachings in the mortal world that numb the temperament of mortals. They only hope that they will have a good life after reincarnation. Needless to say, they built the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and accepted the demonic beasts and ferocious beasts. They forcefully sent people and harmed everyone. In the eyes of the Saints, the world is not as important as the prosperity of the Western Sect. Do you still have any expectations for them?”

“Why is the Saint doing this?”

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit’s eyes were filled with indignation and disbelief. “The Saints of the Western Sect should be reasonable and benevolent.”

“Goddess Jin Ling, don’t spout nonsense!”

An old Daoist priest from the spiritual mountain roared, “You have to pay the price for spouting nonsense! The Goddess of Turtle Spirit is right. My teacher is noble and virtuous!”

“Senior Sister.” The Goddess of Turtle Spirit continued to persuade her. “I think we should be safe today. The Western Sect has already admitted that they were wrong and admitted that they were the ones who did those stone monuments. They are trying to sow discord between the three sects of the Dao Sect and make us fight with Chan School. However, they only have one thought and have not really done it…”

“My silly junior sister!”

Goddess Wudang said firmly, “Isn’t it enough that they have such thoughts? They have already taken action. They are just short of spreading these stone monuments! This is already a huge sin. He has formed a death feud with us!”

“That’s right!”

Lu Yue said loudly, “If I don’t settle this spiritual mountain today, my anger will not be appeased!”

The immortals of Jie School shouted, “Senior Sister Gui Ling, you’re too gentle! You’ve been deceived by the hypocritical side of the Western Sect!”

“The Western Sect still dares to mention the word ‘virtue’! Are they really not afraid of the Heavenly Punishment!?!”

“Let the people of the Western Sect swear a Great Dao oath and tell me what you just said!”

“Trash Western Sect! I’ll fight it out!”

At that moment, the immortals of Jie School were excited. They were already on the verge of exploding!

The immortals of the Western Sect were still in a daze. For some reason, the eldest disciple of Jie School appeared to plead for mercy. However, it seemed to have angered the immortals of Jie School.

Today, they had already pretended to fight a bloody battle. However, they did not dare to answer directly. After all, they had too much dirt and guilt.

Why did they suddenly become so passive?

“Ah…”

The sigh slowly floated over. The Saint’s Dao runes turned into clear immortal light. The noise of the surrounding immortals of Jie School was suppressed by the sigh.

The Saint of the Western Sect had no choice but to appear.
