Chapter 614: The Situation Changes

　　No one expected Li Changshou to suddenly change the array formation.

　　When everyone’s eyes were focused on the matter of Bian Zhuang being framed by Chang’e, they wanted to see how the Heavenly Courts would be unyielding in front of the Saint’s sect. They wanted to see how Taibai Jinxing, who was extremely thorough, would be “thorough” in his actions today…

　　From the perspective of the Heavenly rules, the concept of “there is no distinction between noble and lowly spirits, and they cannot be forcefully respected”, which was advocated by the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Courts, was enough to punish Randeng and Ju Liusun.

　　However, that was just wishful thinking.

　　Everyone felt that it was not a huge sin to plot against Bian Zhuang this time.

　　The fact that the Heavenly Courts could stand up and act as if they were criticizing Chan School was already a pass.

　　Li Changshou had used Chang’e’s severe punishment and echoed the Moon Lord’s words. He had sealed the Dao Realms of Ju Liusun and Randeng and confiscated their Dao Repository treasures. He had already made use of this opportunity to achieve an outstanding result.

　　No matter how one looked at it, the Heavenly Courts had already won and handed in the least outstanding answer.

　　However, he did not expect…

　　It was just an appetizer.

　　Daoist Randeng would probably really suffer when he went to the Heavenly Courts this time.

　　At that moment, most of the living beings were like Perfected Huang Long. They saw the first level and felt that Li Changshou had an ulterior motive. Today, he wanted to burn the lamp to the end.

　　Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit were about the same level as the righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts. When they saw the second and third levels, they felt that the Lord Taibai Jinxing had made thorough preparations. They were worried that the Heavenly Courts would be able to establish an advantage against the Saint Sect today.

　　For example, Qiong Xiao, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding naturally saw the fourth level. Li Changshou was trying to kill Randeng and use it as tribulation ashes.

　　The interrogation of the “The Case of Bian Zhuang and Chang’e” just now could be said to be a preparation for subsequent attacks. It had achieved a series of goals.

　　He wanted to set up a righteous flag for the Heavenly Courts to manage the Three Realms and set the foundation for the Heavenly Courts to condemn mighty figures.

　　More importantly, in order to save Randeng and Ju Liusun, Guang Chengzi had already used the merit of Chan School in advance. He could not use such an excuse in the future.

　　If he used that reason twice, Chan School’s reputation and reputation would be greatly damaged. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning valued that.

　　What made Guang Chengzi feel even more helpless was that he had just pulled Ju Liusun back to his side. He had already accepted the Heavenly Courts on behalf of Chan School and had previously convicted the disciples of the Deputy Sect Master and the Saint.

　　In other words, as long as Randeng was charged with a legitimate crime, Guang Chengzi would not be able to plead for mercy on his behalf.

　　Chan School could no longer protect Deputy Sect Master Randeng.

　　Guang Chengzi sighed in his heart. He was already feeling vexed…

　　Why did he plot against Changgeng for no reason? He was asking to be humiliated.

　　Perhaps, he had thought of two moves.

　　Who led the second wave?

　　Youqin Xuanya, the famous female War God of the Heavenly Courts and the executor of the Super Heavenly Soldier Project!

　　As well as the current Human Emperor and the King of Shang!

　　The destruction of the Youqin Kingdom was indeed caused by Randeng.

　　At that time, in order to investigate Li Changshou and the Immortal Du Sect, Randeng had meticulously planned for twenty years. He had used the Dao Mini Immortal Sect and the Immortal Du Sect to fight for territory to conceal himself and launch a mortal war.

　　However, Li Changshou had reacted in time. Moreover, Kong Xuan and Zhao Gongming, the two experts, had helped him restrain Randeng and black him once.

　　Since then, Randeng had been much more well-behaved. This matter was also laughed at by the Qi Refinement Warriors outside the Dao Sect.

　　The Human Emperor had reported to the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. The foundation of Chan School’s sect was above the human race…

　　The majority of the Youqin Clan was killed and only the child in Youqin Xuanya’s sister-in-law’s womb was left…

　　Guang Chengzi could not speak. The evidence of the previous investigation was already in front of him…

　　The Jade Emperor was in charge of the trial and Li Changshou was the witness. Moreover, there would definitely be more and stronger evidence. It was already extremely difficult for Randeng to turn the tables…

　　Those were still not the highest levels.

　　Guang Chengzi looked at Li Changshou with a helpless expression. He smiled bitterly.

　　He finally understood what his junior brother of Ren School wanted to do.

　　Brilliant, truly brilliant.

　　He was indeed the most difficult fellow to fool…

　　That wave was because this junior brother wanted to strengthen the effect of the Dao Sect’s battle agreement. He wanted to sever the connection between Chan School and the Western Sect and achieve the vision that he had once said—

　　“When the Great Tribulation comes, the Dao Sect will work together to kill the Western Sect first.”

　　Guang Chengzi had asked his teacher if Changgeng would really side with Chan School, but his teacher told him not to think too much about it.

　　Li Changshou’s personality had decided that he would not really stand on the side of Jie School. He would only stand on the balance between the Chan School and Jie School.

　　Guang Chengzi remembered that when the Jade Emperor cried and caused the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he went to the small courtyard to meet his teacher and chatted with him for a long time.

　　Teacher had once said that three thousand years ago, the Saints had already sensed that the Great Tribulation was about to arrive.

　　Uncle-Master Tongtian, the Grandmaster of Heaven did not seem to mind. He felt that he had many disciples and was confident. In fact, he was worried and secretly searched for the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell.

　　The Western Sect began to accumulate merit. They wanted to create a large number of fake Golden Body of Merit and use it to survive the calamity.

　　Chan School was the most confident. Their luck was not bad, and their merit was not lacking. The luck of the sect was far away, and their luck was deep. Therefore, everything in Chan School was normal. They waited for the Great Tribulation to officially descend before they began to deal with it.

　　However, everything suddenly changed.

　　His teacher had deduced that the tribulation, which was originally clear and aimed to cause the Chan School and Jie School to lose their Essence Energy and reduce the power of living beings in the world, had suddenly become confusing.

　　The originally clear meridians had become chaotic and difficult to understand. The fixed numbers had become variables. There were many unknowns.

　　Later on, Junior Brother Changgeng’s identity as a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou, was exposed. Only then did Teacher deduce what had triggered the Heavenly Dao.

　　It was very likely that it was Junior Brother Changgeng’s Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

　　To the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, that seemed to be a crucial node.

　　Suddenly, he felt someone looking at his face. Guang Chengzi followed the gaze and saw Randeng, who was about to collapse.

　　However, Guang Chengzi did not say anything. He closed his eyes and sighed, looking helpless.

　　He really had no choice.

　　Although he could indeed protect Randeng at that moment, the Chan School would become extremely passive. He would not be able to report to his teacher.

　　When Randeng appeared previously, he was in his teacher’s courtyard. It was unknown what his teacher had said to Randeng.

　　However, Teacher must have seen this scene and made some arrangements…

　　Right?

　　“Eldest Senior Brother?”

　　Suddenly, he heard Perfected Huang Long ask via voice transmission, “Are we really not going to do anything? Although we usually don’t like Deputy Sect Master Randeng, he is still our Deputy Sect Master…”

　　“At this moment, don’t be a good person,” Guang Chengzi replied helplessly. “Junior Brother Changgeng’s schemes are too deep. I’m afraid he had already thought of today’s situation when the incident in the Youqin Kingdom happened. This matter is no longer something that you and I can resolve. Just wait for Teacher’s orders. Fortunately, we don’t have any old grudges with Junior Brother Changgeng.”

　　Huang Long was stunned. He turned to look at Li Changshou, then at Randeng, and then at Zhao Gongming. He could only feel puzzled…

　　Perfected Yu Ding suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the steps of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

　　When Li Changshou saw that, he bowed to the Jade Emperor and apologized. After obtaining the Jade Emperor’s permission, he walked over quickly.

　　Li Changshou smiled and asked, “Senior Brother Yu Ding, what’s wrong?”

　　Yu Ding asked, “Can you leave now? Let’s talk at the side.”

　　Li Changshou frowned slightly and pointed at his sleeve.

　　Yu Ding nodded solemnly and turned to leave the crowd.

　　Due to Yang Jian’s matter back then, Li Changshou’s paper effigy was left at the jade cauldron.

　　Although time is traceless and time does not leak… ahem!

　　Although it had been a long time, the paper effigy that Perfected Yu Ding was in still had some spiritual energy left. It was naturally not a problem for him to communicate with Perfected Yu Ding.

　　At that moment, Li Changshou returned to the Jade Emperor’s side and smiled warmly at Yun Xiao, who was sitting quietly and watching him. Then, he continued to discuss how to make the Human Emperor “complain”.

　　Youqin Xuanya’s “status in the pugilistic world” was indeed insufficient. Compared to that, the current human emperor’s accusation of the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School killing his ancestor was more significant.

　　It was the same anyway.

　　After waiting for a while, Li Changshou heard Perfected Yu Ding’s call in his heart. Therefore, he multitasked and responded with his spiritual will.

　　He sent a voice transmission. “Senior Brother Yu Ding, just speak frankly. Even if you plead for Randeng, it will not affect our friendship.”

　　Perfected Yu Ding pondered for a while and his voice sounded heavy.

　　He said, “Changgeng, are you going to kill Randeng today because of Eldest Senior Brother’s schemes that made you unhappy? Or do you have to be prepared and set up a trap?”

　　Li Changshou was silent for a while before replying, “Both. I just took the opportunity to bring some plans forward.”

　　“Alright.” Perfected Yu Ding rubbed his glabella. His ordinary face was filled with worry.

　　Perfected Yu Ding sighed and said, “I’m not good with words. I just want to remind Junior Brother. Teacher cannot be clearer about Randeng’s problem. All these years, Teacher had always turned a blind eye and never summoned Randeng. It was definitely not normal. Teacher will probably have a backup plan for Randeng. If you plot to kill him today, you will definitely attract Teacher’s messenger in the future. Moreover, when Randeng appeared, he came out of the courtyard… Changgeng should be more reliable. Unless necessary, don’t go against Teacher.”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　For some reason, he felt touched.

　　How many years has it been!?!

　　How many years has it been!?!

　　Finally, he had a good friend. At such a crucial moment, he did not persuade him to attack when it was time to attack. Instead, he advised him to be more stable!

　　My Dao is not lonely!

　　Perfected Yu Ding’s words sounded like he was thinking about Randeng. After careful analysis, he realized that he was thinking about him.

　　Li Changshou replied, “Senior Brother Yu Ding, don’t worry. I actually did not really have the intention to kill. I was also fully prepared. It would be best if he could kill him. It would be good if he could not. I have already expected what will happen later. I’ll tell Senior Brother. If the first person to save him was Second Uncle-Master’s messenger, Randeng would definitely die. If the person who saved him first was an expert from the Western Sect, the Western Sect would pay double the price.”

　　Perfected Yu Ding blinked and asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

　　“There are many things that are difficult to explain in a short period of time. Let me explain in detail later,” Li Changshou reminded. “Senior Brother, please take care of Senior Brother Taiyi later. I didn’t want him to follow me, but he sneaked up on me. If the situation gets out of control later, I can’t let him make a sound. Otherwise, a battle between Saints might break out!”

　　Perfected Yu Ding was shocked when he heard that. He frowned and focused. He nodded seriously and stuffed the paper effigy in his sleeve deeper. He quickly walked towards his original seat.

　　When he returned to his seat, he immediately turned to stare at Perfected Taiyi.

　　Perfected Taiyi, who was originally discussing the sutras with Ling Zhuzi, subconsciously trembled and turned to look at Perfected Yu Ding.

　　“Why are you looking at me like that?”

　　“Um…”

　　Perfected Yu Ding squinted and a hint of determination flashed across his eyes.

　　He suddenly attacked and moved as fast as lightning. With lightning speed, he pressed Perfected Taiyi onto the chair and put on his personal Dharma treasure!

　　The immortals looked over and saw Perfected Taiyi kicking his legs and Perfected Yu Ding pressing them down. The former even made a sound of assent.

　　Many fairies blushed. They thought to themselves that the experts of Chan School were so indiscriminate.

　　The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals frowned and tilted their heads. They did not understand why Perfected Yu Ding suddenly suppressed Perfected Taiyi…

　　After a while, the Perfected Taiyi’s hair was disheveled, his mouth was sealed, and his immortal power was restrained. His hands and legs were tied up by the immortal rope, and his face was filled with despair.

　　It was stable.

　　Perfected Yu Ding heaved a sigh of relief. He tidied his messy clothes and sat upright at the side.

　　Tsk, another day of saving the Primordial World silently.

　　…

　　Less than four hours after Youqin Xuanya appeared and reported to Randeng, the Jade Emperor personally issued a decree to carry out the “Heavenly Dao Interrogation” on the case of the Youqin Kingdom being schemed against by Randeng back then.

　　Youqin Xuanya was protected by the Heavenly Courts. She temporarily went to the side to rest and waited for the official interrogation to begin.

　　The Dao Sect forces involved in this matter included the Immortal Du Sect and the Dao Immortal Sect.

　　Li Changshou remembered clearly that the founder of the Daowei Immortal Sect, Dao Weizi, had also appeared that day. He was the one who had given the order to the Daowei Immortal Sect.

　　That Dao Weizi was the key.

　　Therefore, Li Changshou invited the Jade Emperor’s decree and sent the Golden Roc to lead more than ten Heavenly Generals. He did not bring the Heavenly Soldiers to the Jade Void Palace and invited the founder of the Daowei Immortal Sect to the Heavenly Courts for questioning.

　　Moreover, Li Changshou had given him an order to avoid death. As long as Dao Weizi came to the Heavenly Courts and said nothing fake, there would not be any risks. The Heavenly Courts would understand his difficulties.

　　At the same time, two more troops rushed to the Shang Nation and the Immortal Du Sect of the South Continent.

　　They took the initiative to ask the Shang Lord for a Human Emperor’s declaration. It was considered the Shang Lord’s complaint.

　　The Jade Emperor originally wanted to let the human emperor rule the sky and promote the prestige of the Heavenly Courts.

　　However, firstly, he was afraid that the Human Emperor would have the desire to live forever. It would be disadvantageous to the current situation. Secondly, it would take too much time. It would be far inferior to using a dream to warn him.

　　Of course, most importantly, the declaration was more reliable.

　　The Human Emperor’s declaration was controlled by the ancestor of the Human Emperor, Youqin Xuanya. It was reasonable and logical.

　　Before the Golden Roc left, Li Changshou did not remind it. However, on the way, the paper effigy muttered in the Golden Roc’s ear.

　　Whether he could “invite” Dao Weizi was the deciding factor in whether he could successfully kill Randeng today.

　　The Golden Roc did not dare to be careless. He remembered his teacher’s words and led the Heavenly Generals back to the Jade Void Palace.

　　The Kunlun Mountain was really lively today.

　　The three immortals of the Heavenly Courts had arrived at the Jade Void Palace. It had become a “grand occasion” for the gathering of the secret cultivators of Kunlun Mountain.

　　Fortunately, this place was too close to the Jade Void Palace of Chan School. No one dared to say that Chan School was not one of them. However, as the news spread, all kinds of rumors were exciting.

　　Some said that Chan School had deliberately given in and did not want to conflict with the Heavenly Courts.

　　It was also said that this was the sign of the rise of the Heavenly Courts. The Six Saints Era was about to end.

　　For such a huge matter in the world, there was naturally no lack of “big shots” with low cultivation levels but high standards. They would give pointers and analyze the pros and cons. Then, they would come to conclusions that had nothing to do with their daily cultivation.

　　Overall, the changes in public opinion were within Li Changshou’s calculations.

　　Due to the fact that Chan School had never incurred hatred, the immortals of Chan School were relatively low-key compared to the immortals of Jie School and the disciples of the Western Sect. At that moment, there were not many people who mocked Chan School.

　　The Golden Roc had arrived at the Jade Void Palace. Chi Jingzi and a few of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School were waiting on the cloud.

　　According to Li Changshou’s instructions, the Golden Roc directly explained the purpose of his visit. He also explained in detail the matter of the Youqin Clan suing Randeng before the Jade Emperor arrived. He also pointed out that the Youqin Clan was the current human emperor…

　　Chi Jingzi looked troubled. He told the Golden Roc to calm down and turned around to fly to the back mountain.

　　Soon, Chi Jingzi entered and left the Three Friends Courtyard. He rushed to a corner of the Jade Void Palace and brought Dao Weizi over. On the way, he reminded him softly.

　　Although Dao Weizi was considered an expert, he could only smile bitterly when he realized that he had been embroiled in a battle between the top factions in the world because of old scores.

　　The Golden Roc said that there would be no punishment. He was hinting.

　　Dao Weizi could only smile bitterly. However, he had made up his mind to send a voice transmission to ask Eldest Senior Brother Guang Chengzi how he should deal with this matter after he arrived at the Heavenly Courts.

　　He was just a small immortal from a major sect. He did not dare to say anything.

　　At the same time, in the small courtyard of the three friends, on the rocking chair under the tree.

　　The middle-aged Daoist lying on the ground sighed slightly. An old Daoist priest walked out from behind the tree. His peach-shaped head was rather festive. He had white hair, white eyebrows, and a kind face. He was naturally an South Pole Immortal.

　　“Teacher, Junior Brother Changgeng seems to have exceeded your expectations.”

　　“This 98% has really given me a difficult problem. I’m afraid that half of the arrangements of the Primary Order will be destroyed.”

　　“Why don’t you tell him that we are plotting against the Western Sect?”

　　“There’s no need for that.” The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning waved his hand. “Make a trip to the Heavenly Courts. Save him if you can. If not, forget it. He has his ways of protecting the Dao Sect. I have my own considerations. As long as he is loyal to the Dao Sect, he can do whatever he wants. If I argue with him, wouldn’t Junior Brother Tongtian laugh at me and say that I’m not tolerant? Changgeng is upright and has good fortune. He is adaptable and thorough. I think he likes him.”

　　As he spoke, the Saint chuckled and said, “Everything is preordained. If he breaks my plan, he will have to think of a way to replace me in the future. He understood that logic. Since he was determined, he would let him be. It’s not bad if we can have some peace in this Great Tribulation.”
