Chapter 302 - The White-Robed Jade Emperor’s Heart (1/2)
Da ~
The clear spiritual liquid fell from the stalact.i.te and landed in the small pond.
At the edge of the five continents, deep in the ground, in a cave that emitted colorful light, Jin Chanzi was sitting cross-legged beside the spiritual pool. His face was pale, and his long robe was stained with blood. His entire body was tense, and he would s.h.i.+ver from time to time. The smile on his lips was a little forced… Was he afraid?
What a joke. The grand Primordial Beast, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, was only subdued by the Western Sect because the Saint personally captured it! How could that be called being afraid?
He was just… scared. The fear came from his instincts and the blurry figure beside Jin Chanzi.
Beside Jin Chanzi, the woman in the sanguine dress swayed her lotus steps. Her enchanting figure seemed to have condensed into a fog. She touched Jin Chanzi’s forehead gently with her slender finger and slowly drew it across. “Senior.” Jin Chanzi smiled and said, “Thank you for saving my life, Senior.”
“Hehehe…” The laughter was light, but there was a hint of laziness in it. It was clearly gentle and sweet, but when it landed in Jin Chanzi’s ears, it sounded exceptionally ear-piercing. Jin Chanzi believed that if he was not injured, he would not be afraid of the Black-Winged Blood Mosquito. Even if he attacked, he would be able to escape with his mystical abilities.
However, at that moment, he had been injured by the divine sword in the eyes of the Heavenly Courts’ immortal. The woman beside him had seized the initiative…
“I saved you?”
“Of course.”
Jin Chanzi replied with a smile. However, just as he finished speaking, his Adam’s apple could not help but tremble slightly. Daoist Wen Jing stepped on the stone slab beside him with her jade-like feet and slowly leaned over. There was a hint of playfulness on her face, which could attract all living beings. She approached the side of Jin Chanzi’s face and sniffed gently. “Tsk, why is your blood so smelly that I have lost my appet.i.te…” Jin Chanzi smiled insincerely and said, “Thank you for taking care of me, Senior. We are both working for the lord. We naturally cannot have any internal conflicts.”
Hah.
Daoist Wen Jing’s figure flashed slightly and appeared on the other side of the pool. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with faint disdain.
“Don’t address me as Senior. I’m not familiar with you.
I saved you today because I happened to pa.s.s by. If I don’t save you, I’m afraid that the sect will blame me.
Remember, don’t be too ruthless. Leave some good things for others.
Otherwise, the next time I see you like this, it won’t be as simple as… taking a wisp of your essence soul.”
As she spoke, Daoist Wen Jing slowly raised her left hand. Wisps of blood energy surrounded her fair and jade-like fingertips, forming the figure of a blood cicada. She pinched it gently with her slender fingers and the blood cicada exploded. When?!
Jin Chanzi’s face turned pale. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
However, Daoist Wen Jing snorted coldly and did not look at him again. Her flexible waist swayed slightly, and her figure disappeared. All that was left was a faint smile, a hint of blood, and a sound that was piercing to Jin Chanzi’s
ears…
Buzz ~
Jin Chanzi’s delicate face trembled slightly. His left hand was clenched into a fist, and the ground within a five-hundred-kilometer radius rumbled continuously.
Wen Jing should know what to do next. Li Changshou pondered. He trusted Daoist Wen Jing’s ability to handle matters more than Master Zhao’s. Daoist Wen Jing naturally did not come here today to pay the Jade Emperor a visit. No one could predict the future. The human heart was the most unpredictable. Regarding the matters related to Daoist Wen Jing, Li Changshou could not bare everything to the Jade Emperor. There was no other reason. The ultimate beneficiaries of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation were the Heavenly Courts and the Western Sect. There was no need to make a fuss about it if the two of them were ‘connected during the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.
If he let the Jade Emperor know in advance that Daoist Wen Jing was a hidden p.a.w.n that the Ren School had buried in the West, she might become a “chip for bargaining” in the future.
During the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, the Jade Emperor was half a chess player. He could not be judged based on human nature. Li Changshou had been clear about that when he had been developing the dragon race’s strategy in the past few years.
Today, he wanted Daoist Wen Jing to act according to the situation. If Jin Chanzi could escape, he would let Daoist Wen Jing receive Jin Chanzi. It looked like she was giving him help in times of need, but in reality, she was just adding icing to the cake and putting up an act for the Western Sect. During the subsequent plans, if Daoist Wen Jing was not scheming enough, she would show kindness to Jin Chanzi. If Wen Jing had considered it more thoroughly, she would give Jin Chanzi two punches and warn him not to take credit for himself in the future. That way, she would gain the trust of the Western Sect…
There would be more insurance and more security. At that moment, Li Changshou, as the Sea G.o.d, had already arrived on the dragon race’s immortal s.h.i.+p with the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu.
The troops of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had already surrounded the place.
A few of the dragon princes bowed forward. Ao s.h.i.+ from the West Ocean Dragon Palace cried. He said that he had made a mistake by making the wrong friends and set a fox to keep the geese. “Minister Changgeng,” the Jade Emperor reminded him via voice transmission. “The essence souls of these dragon princes are a little strange.” Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, “Your Majesty, this is a commonly used method over there.
The experts of the dragon race have already noticed the abnormality. It’s not convenient for us to ask about this matter.” The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and did not say anything else. Soon, the Jade Emperor realized that the situation was more troublesome than Li Changshou had said. At that moment, two-thirds of the people who had surged out of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had cultivation levels that were equivalent to the Heaven Immortal realm of human cultivators.
In other words… they were surrounded by a large group of traitors.
Then, the Jade Emperor looked at Li Changshou who was chatting and laughing with the puppets of the Western Sect.
This is really…
The scene was filled with laughter and endless chatter. From afar, one could see that they were all pretending and had scheming tricks up their sleeves.
The Jade Emperor’s eyes revealed some thoughts and determination. However, he soon regained his clarity.
At the side, General Dongmu keenly sensed that the Jade Emperor seemed to be a little different at that moment. Li Changshou made some small talk in front of them. Hundreds of azure dragons flew from the south and north. When they approached the immortal s.h.i.+p, they transformed into human forms.
“Brother Sect Master!”
Ao Yi rushed over with hundreds of experts and cupped his fists at Li Changshou from afar.
Li Changshou nodded calmly and did not expose the Jade Emperor’s ident.i.ty.
This time, Li Changshou was not stingy with his praise for Ao Yi’s “foresight “. In front of the Jade Emperor, he ruthlessly… praised Ao Yi. After the dragon expert thanked Li Changshou, the Jade Emperor sent a voice transmission. “Changgeng, let’s go back. There’s nothing interesting here.”
Li Changshou bade farewell to the experts of the dragon race. Before he left, he reminded Ao Yi not to forget to arrange for the patrolling young G.o.ds to patrol the four seas. Before leaving, Li Changshou said to Ao Yi, “After settling everything, Ao Yi, come to Anshui City. I have something to give you.”
“Alright!”
Ao Yi lowered his head, cupped his fists, and bowed to send Li Changshou and the others
off.
After a while, Li Changshou maneuvered the wooden s.h.i.+p and continued to stroll around the West Ocean.
