Chapter 398 - The Scheme of the White Deer Sect (2) (1/2)

As his eyes flickered, Li Ye was no longer in a trance.

The sky was a vast expanse of blue. Li Ye stopped frowning. The sharp light that penetrated into his eyes, turned into two pools of clear water.

At the empty altar, Chu Nanhuai and Li Xian stood before him. Feihong Bodhisattva was sitting on the white jade railing, and she tilted her head to look at the distant sky. Her pure white sleeves fluttered, along with her black hair in the wind. No one knew what was on her mind.

Several arhats stood behind her, secretly protecting her, and suddenly confronted the crowd across the air.

The Son of God, the Holy Child, Nangong Diyi, Su Emei, and the others surrounded Li Ye and listened intently. The demon rested in front of the altar. The breeze was gentle and there was nothing unusual in the field.

Li Ye looked at Chu Nanhuai, who was dressed in a well-worn robe, and said, “So I ask again, what is the layout of White Deer Sect?”

He said this in a harsh tone filled with hidden anger at being deceived.

Chu Nanhuai had a bitter look on his face and sighed helplessly. He did not answer immediately, but signaled to everyone to sit down.

When the crowds sat around in a circle, Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye and said slowly, “Your Highness, do you have any doubts about what I did? Wind damages the flourishing trees in the forest. Now, you are more powerful than those feudal princes. If there is any plan for an attack from a sect, they will likely be targeted at you. In addition, the Buddha Realm and the Immortal Court have a deep hatred for you, so they will never stop. ”

Li Ye nodded lightly, “That’s true.”

Chu Nanhuai managed to curb his usual disrespectful manner, and said severely to Li Ye, “Your Highness, I’d like to ask you some questions. Without the Battle of Hedong, will you be able to compete with Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Militarism? How difficult is it to be concerned only for yourself? Without the will to help the world, will you join the world’s great struggles? Since you decided to do something in these troubled times and intend to achieve great accomplishments, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Militarism, which are part of the world’s great struggle, are all enemies, and you will meet them sooner or later. How can we avoid fighting each other?

“If you want to seek stability and survival, you should not squash the Huang Chao Uprising, achieve great accomplishments, and establish your prestige in front of others. Since you want to collect artifacts, you must develop and grow your own power. Sooner or later, you’ll become the most influential person in the world. Only in this way can you remove the confusion in the world and achieve great achievements! How can those who want to gain great achievements be afraid of being coveted by others? How can they accomplish great achievements without sweeping them away?”

Hearing that, Li Ye was stunned for a moment. Then, he fell silent, and was lost in thought.

“Without the courage to be the enemy of the world, without preparation for being the enemy of the world, you are not qualified to participate in the disputes of the chaotic world, and you are not eligible to be the ultimate victor!

Chu Nanhuai whispered, “While the feudal princes of all parties envy the powerful people, the heroes from all sides will come to offer their services. They will depend on each other for the rise and fall. One either forges ahead or gradually falls behind.”

Li Ye could not refute this statement and suddenly cupped his hands. “I’m enlightened.”

Chu Nanhuai waved his hand to signal that there was no harm done, and then said, “Your Highness, since you know the layout of the White Deer Cave, why not? In fact, even if you did not ask, I also think it is time to tell you everything after the battle ended. You’re my master, and I’m your subordinate. I will never conceal the various plans from you. ”

Li Ye said expectantly, “I would like to hear the details.”

Everyone was curious and could not wait to know, including Li Xian. Red Boy was already scratching his head, and wanted to cut open Chu Nanhuai’s head in his impatience.

Chu Nanhuai said evenly, “Your Highness, without my help, you might have already failed, whether it is the battle of Fengqi Mountain, or the battle of Hedong. Therefore, you think that White Deer Cave and I are too… weird? ”

Li Ye said frankly, “It’s not weird, but it’s too strong.”

Chu Nanhuai said with a smile, “If you knew the origin of White Deer Sect, you would not think so.”

Li Ye looked at Li Xian curiously and thought. “What is the origin of White Deer Sect? Is it possible that he does not know? Even if he knows, what role did he play in this series of events?”

Facing Li Ye’s eyes, Li Xian said, “The White Deer Cave originated from Guiguzi, so the disciples are good at conquering and conspiracy, and they also learned the best from every school.”

Li Ye nodded slightly.

But in fact, he was not satisfied with this explanation. There were only seven disciples from each generation in the White Deer Sect. They were weak. If they wanted to stir up a big commotion and fight against the Taoist sect, the Immortal Court would not turn a blind eye.

For thousands of years, the White Deer Sect had stayed clear of troubled times, but the Immortal Court seemed to have not done anything to them.

Chu Nanhuai said, “Your Highness, you don’t need to look among my junior fellow apprentices. Only the head of each generation knows the secret. This secret is no big deal. You have mentioned it before – We do have people in the Immortal Court. ”

Li Ye felt relieved.

This explanation was reasonable. Instead of saying that the White Deer Sect had people in the Immortal Court, it was better to say that the White Deer Sect was originally a fairy agent in the secular world, which was supported by some fairies of the Immortal Court.

Su Emei had mentioned more than once before, that the Immortal Court was not a monolith, but it also had factional disputes. After all, that was due to everyone having a different philosophy. Just as politicians had different political views, there was also political contention. So too were the internal sections of the Immortal Court.

Obviously, the faction of Guanghan Fairy and God of Giant Spirit were different from the mainstream idea of the Immortal Court – that is, they were not in a group with the Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, they would not have descended to the world to help Li Ye, the Immortal Emperor’s enemy.

The fact was that the Quanzhen Temple, which was established by Wei Xiaozhuang at Li Ye’s behest, was indeed completely different from the Penglai Taoist sect. The Penglai Taoist sect had many worshippers. It regarded itself as the immortal’s sect and stood high above the masses. The Quanzhen Temple went deep into the countryside, helping people to eliminate disasters and heal diseases.

Under the gazes of curious eyes, Chu Nanhuai continued, “Do you still remember the battle where King Wu conquered King Zhou?

No one could remember this. Red Boy said impatiently, “Why are you bringing up something that happened so long ago? Were you alive at that time and participated in that war?”

Chu Nanhuai smiled, “Holy-child King, you’re half right. I did not participate personally, but the leader and other disciples did.

“Leader?” Li Ye was stunned. With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly thought, “Isn’t the leader called Tongtian?”

Chu Nanhuai gave a big smile, “Your Highness, you have wide knowledge and a retentive powerful memory. This is indeed true.”

However, the smile on his face soon disappeared and was replaced with a long sigh, “After the leader lost the war, he changed his name to “Taoist Dust.” It means that the world is full of filth. In the final analysis, he scolded the Emperor and his subordinates for their selfishness. They did not consider the common people and governed the world in utter disorder. They do not deserve to be called immortals!”

Li Ye opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
