What?
Monk Yuan Ye looked at Li Dao, unable to conceal the astonishment in his eyes.
One had to know that immortals were real existences. How could the immortals just leave it at that? What would he do then?
The emperor's interest was piqued as well, and he was in high spirits as he asked, ”Daoist Master Li, quickly tell me which deity spread this plague to us.”
”There are a total of five gods in charge of the plague, and they are known as the Five Plague's Messengers. They are Chun Chuang Zhang Yuan Bo, Xia Chuan Liu Yuanda, Qiu Chuan Gongming, Zhong Shigui of the East Plague, and Shi Wenye, the General Manager of the Plague.”
”So the plague was spread by these five people?”
”No, Zhao Gongming is my senior brother. He should be a loyal person and would not do such a thing. According to what I see, it should be Shi Wenye's doing. ”
Li Dao did not hide the truth and directly said it. Shi Wenye was directly under the Jade Emperor, and his senior brother, Zhao Gongming, whom he had never met, would not listen to the Jade Emperor's orders.
However, Li Dao could not say that this was something the Jade Emperor had ordered him to do. If the Emperor's mind was riled up and he wanted to destroy all the temples belonging to the Jade Emperor, what would happen then?
If the Jade Emperor were to pursue the matter, even if he had his back against the school, Li Dao would still not be able to predict the outcome. But Shi Wenye was different. So what if his temple was destroyed?
Could it be that he, Shi Wenye, dares to come here and settle the score with Li Jun. I'm afraid he thinks Li's sword is not sharp enough?
Seeing how confident Li Dao was, the Emperor believed him and asked, ”If that's the case, then why would you teach me?”
”No, Shi Wenye's goal is not himself, but the Eight Immortals of the Cave of Immortal. The Eight Immortals of the Cave of Immortal, who have descended to the mortal world, to open a Dao meridian. And Shi Wenye is building up momentum for them! ”
”Abominable, abominable to the extreme. For the sake of preaching, people are not allowed to care about water and fire. Such behavior is not worthy of being worshipped by incense!”
Listening to Li Dao tell the truth one by one, Lin Mu was immediately filled with righteous indignation and cursed incessantly.
The old monk, Yuan Ye, wore a forgiving expression as he proclaimed the name of Buddha.
”In that case, I will destroy their temple and not allow the Eight Immortals to establish their sect. What does Daoist Master think?”
The Emperor probed with a gloomy face. Of course, he would not completely believe Li Dao.
”This is exactly how it should be. This kind of god who has an unrighteous mind is unworthy of preaching in the human world!”
Li Dao nodded. Using the power of the secular dynasty, he would not allow the Eight Immortals to establish their own sects. They would see how the number of people they could teach would increase.
”Three masters, you only said the reason for the spread of the plague, how should we solve that?”
The emperor could not possibly be a fool, or else he would not be able to rule the world.
Lin Xie glanced at Li Dao, clasped her hands and bowed towards the Emperor, before speaking in a righteous tone, ”This matter is easy. I plead for Your Majesty to give the order to build an altar and invite my ancestor, the Divine Firmament Ancestral Master, to descend to the mortal world. Furthermore, with senior granduncle here, I believe that senior granduncle will have a better way. ”
Yuan Ye's way of speaking was similar to Lin Mu's. He was asking the Bodhisattva to descend to the mortal world to save all living beings.
