Chapter 177 Vicious Meets Vicious

　　Zhao Gongming rode a cloud and floated towards the island where his target was…

　　With his third sister’s help, the number of people they had scammed had increased once again.

　　In the current situation, what Zhao Gongming wanted to do was simpler than usual…

　　The moment Zhao Gongming revealed his tracks on the deserted island, Daoist Wen Jing noticed him.

　　At that moment, she was about to escape quietly, but just as she was about to move, a strong sense of danger arose in her heart.

　　For a ruthless person like Daoist Wen Jing, who had been through the ancient times but only had her background known by a few people, their senses were the most sensitive.

　　At that moment, her instincts were reminding her that if she escaped, she would be in grave danger today.

　　On the contrary, as long as she did not move, there would not be any danger…

　　She had the support of the Saint of the Western Sect who sealed off the heavenly secrets and hence, her background would not be easily discovered.

　　At her cultivation level, it would be difficult for the other experts, except the Saint, to see her true form unless she took the initiative to transform into her main body.

　　Furthermore, Daoist Wen Jing’s negative karma had long been washed clean by the merit from incense offerings. Although she now had zero merit, she would not be easily recognized as a sinister devil…

　　Therefore, Daoist Wen Jing remained calm and composed. She continued to pretend to be meditating and observed a disciple secretly. She felt that she should have just passed by him, the eldest outer sect disciple of Jie School.

　　Daoist Wen Jing naturally recognized Zhao Gongming. She also knew that Zhao Gongming was extremely powerful. With the appearance of the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, only a few experts below the Saint could deal with them.

　　However, she did not believe that the outer sect disciple of Jie School would kill her for no reason, given her charming appearance, lack of negative karma, and hidden background! As expected, Zhao Gongming seemed to be… just passing by. Daoist Wen Jing held her breath and waited

　　ietly for Zhao Gongming to pass by. He was also prepared to escape or attack at any time.

　　S

　　The place was actually very well hidden. Yet, she actually met such an expert… Soon, Zhao Gongming flew above Daoist Wen Jing. Something unexpected happened! Before Daoist Wen Jing could react, Zhao Gongming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on the cloud in the sky. He clutched his chest and fell from the cloud onto the ground…

　　He was barely breathing and his Dao runes were chaotic. The first thing that people would think was that he was seriously injured and suddenly acted up!

　　With a soft thud, a suave man descended from the sky. He faced the sky, spread his arms open, and fell in front of Daoist Wen Jing.

　　Daoist Wen Jing was speechless.

　　Could it be that the Heavenly Dao had finally thought of me? He had given me such a bloody meal?

　　The blood of such an expert must be…

　　“You, you!” Zhao Gongming suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head with great effort. He pointed at Daoist Wen Jing with trembling fingers as he shouted with emotion, “Fellow Daoist, why… why did you ambush me?”

　　Daoist Wen Jing, who was still excited, could not help but be stunned. She was stunned.

　　What is this?

　　It was the first time she had encountered something like that ever since she had been in the Primordial World…

　　“Big Brother! Big Brother, what’s wrong?”

　　All of a sudden, Daoist Wen Jing was alarmed. An aura appeared out of thin air a hundred kilometers away. A young girl appeared without warning and rushed over in a few steps.

　　Immortal Qiong Xiao?

　　Could it be that Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao had already seen through my identity and had set up an ambush here?

　　However, why did she not launch a sneak attack? Instead… she did this…

　　Daoist Wen Jing opened her eyes and sat there, pretending to be calm. Her eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at the situation in front of her. She was secretly prepared to lose ten thousand years of her Dao and risk her life to escape!

　　However, what happened next made Daoist Wen Jing feel that she was… overly naive, and helpless.

　　At the same time, at the venue of the Three Sects’ Meet, Li Changshou’s mind was slightly shaken.

　　Suddenly, he had a feeling that something joyous had happened somewhere.

　　While meditating, Li Changshou frowned slightly and secretly made deductions with his fingers.

　　Based on his many years of deductions, he felt that he would very soon… be sure that he could not deduce anything.

　　Ever since the Sea God temple had more than ten thousand devotees, Li Changshou would receive some warnings in advance if anything happened to the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean. It could be considered as the concern of the Heavenly Dao.

　　That seemed to be a good thing.

　　However, according to the three laws of the Primordial World, good things might not necessarily be good.

　　Li Changshou pinched his fingers to calculate for a while, but he did not obtain anything. He could not help but use the paper effigy in the South Ocean to patrol around the mortal world near the Sea God Temple.

　　To him, regardless of whether it was good or bad, it was better for there to be no issues.

　　I can only wait and see.

　　Li Changshou kept his guard up and tried to analyze which side the news would come from.

　　Of course, he could not deduce what was happening on a deserted island in the South Ocean…

　　At that moment, a wisp of Dao runes appeared in Li Changshou’s heart. Li Changshou was shocked.

　　It was a transmission of comprehension

　　again!

　　Li Changshou cultivated the Dao of Inaction. Previously, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had used the ways of gaining insight into the Great Dao several times, and those words were condensed in his heart.

　　At that moment, the situation appeared again!

　　However, this time, the Dao runes were so obscure and mysterious!

　　Li Changshou immediately focused all his attention on his body. He felt, sensed, and realized. His mind gradually became unstable.

　　Those were not the Dao runes of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du!

　　In the Primordial World, apart from the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, only the Grand Pure One himself could use the Dao of transmission!

　　Master Saint…

　　Not only did he remember Li Changshou, he had also skipped the middleman and communicated with him directly!

　　The Dao runes slowly circulated, and a complicated sense of enlightenment appeared in Li Changshou’s heart. However, there was a blurry image mixed in it.

　　It was indeed an image…

　　The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could only send a simple message. At that moment, the big shot who was sending a message through Li Changshou directly placed a portion of enlightenment and a scene in Li Changshou’s heart!

　　The difference in Dao was obvious!

　　The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was still in the stage where he could use his small mystical ability to send out short messages. The Grand Pure One had already opened the “five blessings” and sent him a video!

　　In the image:

　　A fist-sized black-winged Blood Mosquito secretly flew into an uninhabited Cave Abode filled with golden light. It landed in the treasure pool in the middle of the Cave Abode and turned into an enchanting figure.

　　A golden lotus with twelve petals rose from the pool. The woman raised her hand and touched the golden lotus. Wisps of golden light rushed into her body…

　　Vile creature!

　　A loud roar was heard and the scene stopped.

　　Li Changshou was stunned. There was too much information.

　　Could this be… the scene of Daoist Wen consuming a twelfth-grade golden lotus!?!

　　Daoist Wen’s figure is actually so good. She’s only slightly inferior to Aunt-Master Jiu!

　　Ahem, a certain part of the Primordial World’s scene was out of his expectations…

　　Following that, Li Changshou slowly understood all the insights.

　　They were mysterious and indescribable.

　　Li Changshou could not explain the precise interpretation of those insights. According to his general comprehension, he could translate them slightly…

　　This scene was deduced by the Saint. There is a possibility that this will happen in the future.

　　This possibility would have something to do with the other important matter that the Saint would have to do in the future.

　　However, the possibility of the future had been shaken. It had to be corrected. He had to use the method of “taking action” to change the matter into an “effect” that could be achieved with “inaction”.

　　After understanding all of that, Li Changshou was shocked…

　　He had always known that the combat power ceiling of the Primordial World was extremely high.

　　However, he could not imagine that a Saint could have such power!

　　The Grand Pure One had already deduced one of the scenes of the Great God-Conferment War at this time…

　　No, that was not all!

　　Daoist Wen had consumed a twelfth-grade golden lotus. The other important matter that was related to the Grand Pure One and the Western Sect was very likely to be ‘Going to the Han Valley in the West and removing my beard to become Buddha’!

　　That was actually easy to deduce.

　　The Saint lived in a well-known old residence in the Primordial World…

　　Uh, peace and quiet!

　　The Grand Pure One had connections with the Western Sect. On careful thought, he had only worked with them during the Great God-Conferment War to destroy the Ten Thousand Immortals Array and the Immortal Vanquishing Sword Array, as well as the transformation into a Buddha afterward.

　　Li Changshou was speechless…

　　Those were the means of the Sage!

　　There were some changes in something that was related to the Saint but had yet to happen, and the Saint had already sensed it!

　　The obscure and mysterious Dao runes gradually dissipated, and the image in Li Changshou’s heart gradually dissipated. However, he gained some enlightenment.

　　4,500 kilometers away in the South Ocean, Li Changshou did not hesitate. The paper effigy that was disguised as an old immortal-skinned and was still moving a moment ago, flew towards the south on a cloud.

　　He focused his mind and tried his best to understand the message the Sage had sent…

　　There was actually a logic in that.

　　During the Divine Seal Battle, the two Saints of the Western Sect continuously raided the Dao Sect. They had done too many things both in the open and in the dark. They had schemed so much that the twelfth-grade golden lotus became a ninth-grade golden lotus after being kissed by Daoist Wen.

　　It was precisely because he had lost the twelfth-grade Merit Lotus to suppress the destiny of the Western Sect that the Grand Pure One was able to successfully implement the plan of transforming into Buddha…

　　Everything was seen by the Grand Pure One!

　　At that moment, Li Changshou did not dare to think too much. He followed the Sage’s advice and flew all the way south. He was ready to become a paper effigy at any time.

　　Li Changshou could not help but think to himself, What exactly happened that would affect Daoist Wen’s absorption of the golden lotus?

　　Why did the Saint put this matter on my shoulder?

　　Could there be some reason for this?

　　About an hour later, Li Changshou flew 4,500 kilometers and looked at the vast ocean. He did not know if he should head east or west. He could only wait quietly in the air. His previous premonition was correct.

　　It was indeed a good thing.

　　It was a good thing that he had turned into the human Dharma treasure of the Saint!

　　His backer suddenly became clear and stable…

　　At the same time, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Li Changshou’s paper effigy in the southeast direction, Daoist Wen Jing rode a white cloud and slowly floated in the sky. She rarely revealed her tracks when she traveled, but she now had no choice…

　　Daoist Wen Jing was originally clad in a chiffon dress and a pure white, translucent silk skirt.

　　She raised her hand and grabbed her collar. She had turned from an enchanting woman to a virtuous female immortal and was heading west…

　　Her expression was a little dazed, and she looked a little sad.

　　Daoist Wen Jing recalled the long and complicated Great Dao oath she had just sworn. A hint of grief and indignation appeared in her eyes. The Three Sects of the Dao Sect… What the hell is that!?!

　　Who is the evil devil?

　　Huh?

　　Who is the ancient ferocious beast?

　　Who is the Blood Sea Demon that killed without blinking!?!

　　I, the queen of the Black-Winged Blood Mosquitoes, actually… got… The tricks of the Dao Sect’s disciples are too dirty!

　　No, their blood must be black, dirty, and so shameless that it makes mosquitoes puke.

　　It’s over, it’s over…

　　The disciples of the Saint from the Western Sect who thought that they had schemed against others before are no match for the disciples of the Dao Sect!

　　They are on completely different levels!

　　Naturally, no matter how crazy she was, she did not dare to show it.

　　The other party was still observing her performance!

　　What kind of joke is this?

　　Daoist Wen did not have the confidence to deal with Qiong Xiao. The famous Golden Scissors was a famous killing treasure among Connate Numinous treasures.

　　Besides, there was also Zhao Gongming and his twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!

　　Although she, Daoist Wen Jing, was the queen of the Black-Winged Blood Mosquitoes, she was only a puppet who was being controlled by the Western Sect. She did not have any powerful Dharma treasures, so she could only rely on her mystical abilities to survive.

　　Daoist Wen Jing tightened her collar again. Her enchanting face looked more pitiful because of the grievance…

　　That was naturally her pretense. Daoist Wen Jing could sense that the two ruthless people were monitoring her using some Dharma treasure.

　　If she used an escape technique, she would definitely be exposed.

　　Slowly, the feeling of being monitored gradually disappeared. Daoist Wen Jing grunted softly and continued flying towards the West Ocean on the cloud.

　　All of a sudden, her immortal senses captured a white-haired old Daoist priest standing five thousand kilometers away on the sea. His cultivation level was at the early-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm.

　　If it was any other time, Daoist Wen Jing would have casually sucked the old Daoist priest in.

　　However, at that moment, she pretended not to see him and flew past him.

　　3,000 kilometers, 1,500 kilometers…

　　Li Changshou suddenly perked up and captured Daoist Wen Jing’s figure in the sky.

　　Li Changshou had just seen the scene of Daoist Wen Jing and the lotuses in his heart. He immediately recognized Daoist Wen Jing and realized that her current state…

　　It seemed…

　　Eh? Why does she look so much like General Dongmu when he was in a daze and out of sorts…

　　At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly understood why the Grand Pure One would ask him to “correct” the matter…

　　Daoist Wen Jing flew extremely fast. Just as she was about to “pass by” Li Changshou, Li Changshou immediately snapped out of his daze and shouted,

　　“Fellow Daoist! Please hold on!”
