Chapter 135 Blind Frogs Meet Dead Mosquitoes

　　It’s tough being a Sect Master.

　　Li Changshou could only temporarily hang the wooden sign that stated the Immortal Cat was not in. He sat in the Pill Chamber and deduced in his head.

　　What he sensed this time was an ominous sign accompanied by bloodshed.

　　Why did he feel that way?

　　Li Changshou could not be sure either. He could understand it as the protection of the Heavenly Dao to those who were protected by merit.

　　If he had thought about it more, he could see it as a possibility that the Saint of Ren School had given him a push.

　　Sitting in the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou put on a cultivation stance. He counted the power of incense and karma on his body and gathered it around his Essence Soul, before making a thin… pair of briefs.

　　There was no choice. He did not have much incense offerings now. He had not accumulated enough and furthermore, his essence soul did not have any vital parts. It was a complete sublimation of his soul.

　　To put on clothes for the essence soul paper effigy, he naturally had to start from the first piece of clothing. He could not wear socks first…

　　Back to the main topic.

　　Li Changshou first used his senses of the statue to carefully investigate the situation of the entire South Ocean Sea God Sect.

　　Everything was stable and there was no disaster.

　　A large area on the South Ocean Coast of the South Continent and a small area on the East Ocean Coast were popular places for offering incense to the South Ocean Sea God Sect.

　　There were more than ten dragon experts stationed in various locations, together with two Golden Immortals and twelve immortals who were at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm. They were Guardians of the South Ocean Sea God Sect and could also obtain some incense offerings.

　　Li Changshou would not let them put in the effort for nothing, although the main task of the dragon race was to protect the Second Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Yi.

　　Could this ominous sign be about the Heavenly Courts?’

　　Now, the South Ocean Sea God Sect is about to be conferred by the Heavenly Courts, and there are only one or two hundred years left before then. The Jade Emperor had already spoken about it in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall…

　　Is there really someone who does not want to see the Heavenly Courts grow stronger and wants to lay a finger on the South Ocean Sea God Sect?

　　It does not make sense. Going against the Heavenly Courts is going against the Jade Emperor.

　　Going against the Jade Emperor would be going against the Dao Ancestor.

　　If the Dao Ancestor judged it to be “defiance of Heaven’s will”, the biggest winner of the Primordial World would not have to personally take action. The Three Pure Ones would also be able to defeat the mastermind…

　　No, once the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder fell, there would be no more ashes left!

　　No matter how he looked at it, the Jade Emperor was a lifeline of the South Ocean Sea God Sect.

　　Although the heavenly secrets of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation had yet to be revealed, the tiny Sea God Sect of the South Ocean was under the protection of the Heavenly Courts. Who would target them because of that?

　　Moreover, the Heavenly Courts’ influence was too low. They did not have any presence before the Saint…

　　Although Li Changshou could not rule out that possibility, he gave it a 10% chance.

　　Li Changshou left the remaining ninety percent to the worst situation possible-The Western Sect was about to take action.

　　If it’s really them, what’s their motive? Just to snatch the incense?

　　Li Changshou felt that his thoughts were a little chaotic. He activated the array formation in the Little Qiong Peak and went to the secret underground chamber.

　　He placed the paper and pen on the ground and began to analyze and write.

　　Since he could not read the Saint’s name, he naturally could not write down the latter’s name. Li Changshou used some “code names” that he understood.

　　If he were to make a deduction that involved the Grand Pure One of his sect, he would use a drumstick to show that it was a huge supporter.

　　When it came to the Grandmaster of Heaven and the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, he used a night-luminescent cup and a bamboo basket to symbolize them.

　　The two Saints of the Western Sect were represented by an orchid and a slingshot.

　　All of that was meaningless, and they were mainly meant for preventing people from thinking of the Saints.

　　Even if the deduction was that the Saints were plotting against each other, Li Changshou would only rub orchids against the slingshot and use the slingshot to send the night-luminescent cup flying…

　　Of course, Li Changshou would never do such a deduction. He only did some analysis and speculation based on his own body and the South Ocean Sea God Sect.

　　He could only think of a way to deal with what the enemy might do.

　　Li Changshou picked up his pen and started writing. Very quickly, he fell into deep thought.

　　However, Li Changshou did not expect that he had made a miscalculation this time. He had made a mistake with the logic…

　　Three days later…

　　In a magnificent temple in the headquarters of the Sea God Sect in Anshui City, there were no more visitors because it was late at night.

　　The doors of the Sea God Temple were also closed by the strong Divine Envoys. There were six Divine Envoys in charge of guarding the place all night.

　　The thirty-feet-tall Golden Sea God statue gradually emitted a wisp of immortal light that quickly faded.

　　A gaze seemed to dart out from the blurry face of the Sea God statue. “The gaze” made a turn at a corner and landed on the statue of the Second Sect Master which was twenty feet tall, and was made of jade that was inlaid with gold, had a coral bottom, and was wearing a cloak.

　　Ao Yi…

　　Ao Yi?

　　Between the two statues, strands of spiritual will were secretly transmitted.

　　At the same time, in the Golden Ao Island’s Treasure Pool at the intersection between the South Ocean and the East Ocean,

　　Ao Yi, who was meditating on a lotus platform, suddenly opened his eyes. He thought of something and immediately closed them again.

　　In a daze, Ao Yi arrived at a dream where the clouds were dancing. He saw a huge Sea God statue.

　　Li Changshou stood beside the statue and waited for him from afar…

　　In such a situation, Li Changshou’s identity as a merit assignee was confirmed. The true expert was still behind him…

　　A single point, a small detail.

　　Ao Yi quickly walked forward and bowed to Li Changshou. “Greetings, Brother Sect Leader!”

　　Li Changshou, on the other hand, looked worried. He said softly, “Let’s not talk anymore. Let’s get down to business first. Brother Yi, the dragon race is in trouble.”

　　“How… how did the calamity come about?” Ao Yi was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly asked, “Please tell me, Brother Sect Leader!”

　　Li Changshou sighed.

　　He did not want to deceive Ao Yi either. However, he had to get the dragon race to do something about it. He could only change his words.

　　In Li Changshou’s deductions, the ominous omen that followed would most likely be that the Western Sect had taken action to “recapture the land of incense” and would launch an immortal attack.

　　The battle between the disciples of Ren School and the attacks launched by the experts who ambushed and destroyed the Sea God Temple were carried out simultaneously…

　　If he told the dragon race about it directly, they might retreat from the South Ocean Sea God Sect because they were afraid of the Saint of the Western Sect.

　　Therefore, Li Changshou could only try his best to stabilize the dragon race, which was his strong backer.

　　If the dragon race suffered too great a loss, he would give forty percent of the incense offerings from the South Sea God Sect to the dragon race as compensation…

　　Li Changshou said, “Brother Yi, do you know that the two existences in the west have been spying on the dragon race for a long time?”

　　Ao Yi was stunned for a moment. He recalled that he had heard the conversation between the two old dragons during the dragon race’s banquet.

　　The Western Sect had once attempted to subdue the Dragon Palaces of the four seas and make the Dragon King the guardian dragon of the Western Sect. They had also promised to use a twelfth-grade Golden Lotus to suppress the dragon race’s destiny. However, how could the Dragon race not know that the twelfth-grade Golden Lotuses now controlled numerous experts that were recruited by the Western Sect!

　　No matter how powerful a Connate numinous treasure was, it had its limits.

　　The Dragon race’s great fortune could not be suppressed by the Western Sect.

　　Therefore, the dragon race rejected him directly.

　　That happened a few years ago.

　　Now that Li Changshou mentioned it, Ao Yi immediately reacted and thought of many things… “Brother Changshou, what do you think?” Li Changshou pondered for a while and said seriously, “Display both dominance and graciousness. Subdue them. If the other party is both in the open and in the dark, they will secretly injure the dragon race and reveal their tracks at the crucial moment. How can the dragon race not accept the idea to save the dragon race?” Li Changshou almost believed his own words.

　　Ao Yi gasped and paced back and forth in his dream.

　　He was not stupid although he had stained his life twice when he was ten years old and a teenager…

　　Soon, Ao Yi whispered, “Could it be that… they want to use the Sea God Sect as bait? They want to lure the experts of the dragon race, and then attack them, or surround them, after which they would save us on the surface?”

　　“Yes! That should be the case. The South Ocean Sea God Sect is going to cause a bloody disaster. It should be related to this matter.”

　　Li Changshou said, “Brother Yi, there’s no time to waste. Please quickly contact your father to report this matter.

　　I have two plans.

　　One would be that we give up on the South Ocean Sea God Sect. The dragon race can then be safe.

　　If the other party comes, I will directly appear in the dreams of the Divine Envoys and get them to protect themselves instead of getting into a conflict with the other party.

　　“Secondly, if the dragon race does not want to give up the merit and wants to fight the other party head-on, we should make plans and set up the array formations beforehand. We will lock the enemies up and fight them!”

　　Li Changshou paused and said, “There’s no time to waste. Brother Yi, please contact the Dragon Palace quickly and let them make their decision as soon as possible.”

　　Ao Yi immediately nodded and agreed. He bowed to Li Changshou and the dream quickly dissipated.

　　Li Changshou opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.

　　He handed the decision to the dragon race…

　　He had schemed against the Dragon race once and owed them a favor.

　　Let’s overcome this “great omen” before we talk about other things.

　　Li Changshou did not stop. He continued to exhaust his time and effort. Through the statue, he began to look for the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect who were truly authoritative.

　　Village Chief Xiong, the old gentleman, ahem, the old Divine Envoy was naturally the first one to receive the dream.

　　In any case, he had to deal with it first.

　　He asked the God Envoys of Xiong Village to take action first and restrain the disciples while shrinking the boundaries of their factions. They were prepared to start a conflict at any time.

　　The distribution of the South Sea God Sect’s forces was rather long and narrow. It was troublesome to defend.

　　Even if the omen of sanguine glow this time was just a sign of a small conflict in the Sea God Sect, it would be a demonstration of disaster…

　　After the dream, Li Changshou still had a lot of things to do. He had already sent seventy percent of his paper effigies and paper dolls to the South Ocean Sea God Sect in the South Continent.

　　He naturally had to protect his own Sea God Sect.

　　Next, he had to find the descendants of those old trees. He had to squeeze some of their tree sap and turn them into paper effigies.

　　Li Changshou could sense that the shady culprit that had touched the Sea God Sect was not far from the Sea God Sect.

　　as

　　To be safe, he had to be wary of the smallest possibility.

　　The large group of Jade-Eating Frogs on Little Qiong Peak had been brought to the Sea God Sect by the paper effigy.

　　At the same time… in the valley that was under the cover of several array formations in an obscure mountain forest in the Aparagodānīya Continent, more than ten figures flew over from various directions and landed in the valley. Most of them were in the Heaven Immortal realm.

　　They were of mixed genders. Most of them had aged faces, and their eyes were filled with vigilance.

　　Those people were familiar with each other. They all had one identity. They were the merit assignees of the Western Sect.

　　Their respective statues were located in the southwest of the South Continent. They were close to the territory of the South Ocean Sea God Sect.

　　At that moment, those people could vaguely guess that they were about to attack the South Ocean Sea God Sect.

　　The job of the so-called merit assignees was to establish a sect in their own names, develop the sect, garner believers, and absorb the merits from incense offerings. However, 99% of the incense offerings would be taken away.

　　However, it was a good thing for them to be able to stay behind. Furthermore, they had the support of the Saint’s sect… “Yo, you’re all here?”

　　A seductive figure appeared in the valley.

　　She was wearing a pink dress and her long hair cascaded down her waist. However, from afar, she looked rather charming.

　　The figure took a step forward and arrived before the dozen or so people, causing them to be shocked.

　　She was naturally Daoist Wen Jing.

　　At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing took out a golden token and waved it gently. The dozen or so people immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at it.

　　“You don’t have to know who I am. You don’t have to ask where I came from. I’m only going to discuss a small matter with you.”

　　Just as the dozen or so people were about to speak, they realized that their throats seemed to have been pierced by needles. Unknowingly, they were already drenched in cold sweat.

　　Fear and petrification slowly surfaced in his heart.

　　Daoist Wen Jing swayed her body gently. Her enchanting figure swayed three times with each step. She scanned those people with her long and narrow phoenix-like eyes… “Your spirituality is lacking, but you have quite a lot of merit. You should be considered delicious.

　　However, don’t worry. Since you have your duties to perform, I will not use you as a sacrifice. I will have an even more sumptuous meal waiting for me.

　　I’ll let you do one thing. One month later, incite the mortals and get them to go to the South Ocean Sea God Sect to fight and plunder.

　　At that time, I will get some puppets to cooperate with you.

　　Your goal is to lure the Dragon Guardians of the Sea God Sect to appear and kill half of them, leaving half of them behind. Then, you will lure more experts of the dragon race to go there.

　　When the time comes, what you need to do is continue to incite the mortals to stop the dragons…”

　　Daoist Wen Jing paused and did not continue.

　　After sweeping her gaze across the dozen or so people, Daoist Wen Jing realized that they were shocked by their Dao runes and could not speak.

　　Daoist Wen Jing sneered and said indifferently, “Those who object to what I said can take half a step forward.”

　　An elderly woman hesitated. She took half a step forward and opened her mouth to speak.

　　However, Daoist Wen Jing’s body flickered and appeared in front of the elderly woman. She flicked her slender fingers.

　　The elderly woman, who was already at half-step of the Golden Immortal realm, turned into wisps of black dust that was blown away gently. “Now, who agrees and who objects?”

　　The rest of the people turned pale. They lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything Daoist Wen Jing smiled gently. She could not help but think of the figure she saw through the water curtain… “Yes…”

　　Compared to the food in front of her, only that figure could be considered a true living being.
