Chapter 376 I, the Water God, Definitely Didn’t Work With Ksitigarbha
Ksitigarbha felt nothing but confusion. The Water God’s plan to sow discord is so simple. Had the demons been blinded by the demonic aura? How could they believe that? The plan revolving around the demons this time…
Ksitigarbha’s expression was extremely gloomy. At that moment, he lowered his head and looked at his palm. There seemed to be blood seeping out of it. Truth Listener said in a deep voice, “At this moment, the demons in the Immortal Du Sect are being surrounded by the Heavenly Courts, the dragon race, and the Magi. Most of the hatred in their hearts is directed at you, Master.
They feel that you had set a trap for the Water God.
From the orders that the Heavenly Soldiers received, we can tell that the Water God had ordered them to surround the demons and give them some leeway to escape.
The thirteen experts that Master sent over have already fled. They did not fight for long…”
Ksitigarbha slowly clenched his fists and said in a low voice, “It’s fine. There’s still room for change. He used his mystical abilities to inform Wen Jing and the others to kill the demons that could escape!
No, we can’t… fall into the Water God’s trap! He will definitely wait here. A Shadow-Retaining Ball is enough for the demons to confirm this matter!” Truth Listener continued listening. Green light flickered all over its body. Clearly, it had activated its mystical abilities. Several pieces of news sounded from Truth Listener’s mouth in Ksitigarbha’s heart…
“The demon army that is besieging the Carefree Immortal Sect is hopeless. They will probably be completely wiped out. A large number of Qi Refinement cultivators from the twelve immortal sects of Jie School have flown out and have already arrived at the Carefree Immortal Sect. There are at least hundreds of immortal sects in the Middle Continent that have sent cultivators to the Carefree Immortal Sect.”
“Master, Water God has gone to the Carefree Immortal Sect to help.”
“The batch of demons that we set up in the South Continent has been wiped out… Master.” Ksitigarbha, who was deep in thought, asked, “Why?”
Truth Listener said, “From an outsider’s point of view, this is indeed very similar to you cooperating with the Water God and scheming against the demons.”
“It’s fine. I’ll explain it to those ancient demons later. I can explain it clearly.” The corners of Ksitigarbha’s mouth twitched slightly. “I have indeed underestimated the Water God’s strength. He should have planted spies in the demons and set up a trap in the Immortal Du Sect. If I’m not wrong, he was the one who invited the Immortal Sect of Jie School. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were no exception.
Both of us have our own victories and losses in this scheme. It’s just fifty-fifty.” Truth Listener chuckled. “Master, you’re quite cute when you’re thick-skinned and refuse to admit defeat.”
“Hmph!”
Ksitigarbha turned his head and ignored him. However, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
“Quick! Inform Wen Jing and the others not to take the initiative to stop the demons who escaped! They can’t plot against the Water God!”
Just as Truth Listener was about to cast a mystical ability, its round ears swayed and it muttered, “It’s too late, Master. A few of them have already attacked.”
Ksitigarbha’s face turned extremely pale. A moment ago, in the north-west corner of the East Continent, streams of light and demonic wind blew past and fled towards the North Continent.
They were all experts from the demon race who had fled from the Immortal Du Sect. Tens of thousands of kilometers behind them, a large number of demon soldiers were being harvested by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Unfortunately, the few old demons and more than ten Demon Kings who escaped the fastest were already dead. In midair, Daoist Wen Jing’s enchanting figure leaned forward. Wisps of blood aura surrounded her and circled around her. A drop of blood slowly streaked across the tip of her slender fingers…
In front of her, the golden-furred lion’s body, which was dozens of feet long, began to collapse. It turned into ashes that filled the sky and dissipated in the breeze.
“Yes”
Daoist Wen Jing’s beautiful face blushed slightly. “Some of my Primordial Energy was injured by that bastard Water God. I can use you to replenish it.”
Several black shadows flew over from the side and turned into four or five handsome men and beautiful women who looked like con artists.
A burly man said, “Kill everyone above the Heaven Immortal realm. The remaining lesser demons don’t have much to say.” “This Ksitigarbha is not reliable either.” A woman with a snake-like face snorted. “He still wants us to clean up his mess. He said that he would put pressure on the demons and make them easily succumb to the West… I think that it can’t be as the demons have said. He is secretly plotting with the Water God that the two of them will be promoted to officials.”
“Everyone, be careful with your words.”
Daoist Wen Jing wiped her red lips and said calmly, “There is still a place for us in this world. Don’t ask for more. Go back. The dragon race is here.”
The figures nodded and used their mystical abilities to disappear.
In the sky, dozens of azure dragons flashed past and chased after the fleeing demons… A moment later, in the spirit mountain, Ksitigarbha punched the ground and gritted his teeth. “You ruined my plans!” Truth Listener did not take the opportunity to mock him. Instead, it began to monitor its surroundings and carry out the orders given by Ksitigarbha-to confirm the whereabouts of the Water God.
That was the only way they could salvage the situation.
However, Truth Listener had yet to find the source of the news of the demons’ attack among the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect who had fled in advance. From there, he found the Water God’s background. Good news came one after another…
“Master, a mighty figure of the demon race has just appeared in the North Continent. He has already threatened to settle scores with you.” “Master, an old Marshal of the Ancient Demon Court has spoken. They were schemed against by you and the Water God. We have our own goals with the Water God. We are trying to obtain the authority of the demons. The Water God is trying to promote the authority of the Heavenly Courts.”
“Master…”
Ksitigarbha cursed in his heart. “They don’t dare to go to the Heavenly Courts and the Dao Sect to vent their anger on me! Do you really think that the Western Sect can be bullied?! Bastard!”
Truth Listener heard something again and trembled.
“Speak!”
“Don’t fight with the Water God. So what if we find him? He can hide in the Tushita Palace. No one can do anything to him.” Truth Listener mumbled in Ksitigarbha’s heart, “I can tell from today’s matter that you are far inferior to him, Master. He had just arrived at the Carefree Immortal Sect and gathered with a few Golden Immortals. He had done something to you again and said a few words…”
“What did he say?”
“Forget it, Master. I’m afraid you’ll vomit blood from anger.” “Speak!”
“He said, ahem!”
Truth Listener imitated Li Changshou’s old demeanor when he spoke in the Carefree Immortal Sect. “Hahaha, everyone, you flatter me. I did not do anything today. Although there are many good fortune-tellers in the world, the disciple of the Western Sect, Ksitigarbha, who rarely appears, is on par with me. I definitely did not receive any information from Ksitigarbha in advance. I just have the same computational ability as him and have a tacit understanding with him. He will attack and I will defend. He wants the demons to have a good impression of me. I need to protect the Dao heritage of Ren School and think about helping the Heavenly Courts. Unfortunately, he only caused the demons to lose some of their vitality today… Master, there are many more behind. He did not hide anything when he said that.” After hearing Truth Listener’s recount, Ksitigarbha was puzzled.
It sounded like the Water God was explaining that he had no connection with the Western Sect.
However, he thought about it carefully…
How vicious! What the Water God meant was that he knew all of the schemes devised by Ksitigarbha and there was no need for him to be informed by anyone!
If the demons heard that, they would definitely think that the Water God was helping Ksitigarbha!
No…
Something is amiss…
Why was my name so easily exposed by the Water God?
The name of the disciple of the Western Saint, Ksitigarbha, was actually like that! With a sweet voice, Ksitigarbha forcefully suppressed his blood pressure, causing his handsome face to turn even paler. At that moment, a ray of green light and a ray of golden light flew out from his sleeve and disappeared into the depths of the spiritual mountain.
The Green Lotus Flag was retracted.
Even the Heavenly Emperor’s seal that he had found was taken away…
Ksitigarbha felt some Dao runes in his heart and said in a calm voice, “Cultivate in peace.”
“Yes, Teacher. I understand.” Ksitigarbha lowered his head and answered. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and his body swayed. A sigh sounded from the side. Truth Listener shifted its body and let Ksitigarbha lean on its soft green fur. Its long tail swayed and protected Ksitigarbha.
At this moment, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Immortal Du Sect were divided into three groups. The main force had already gone to kill the demons and escape to earn merit.
One of the two remaining two batches was to clear the battle in the mountains and restore the destroyed terrain to the greatest extent. The other batch was to rush to the northeast of the South Continent and was in charge of welcoming the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect back to the sect.
The Heavenly Courts announced to the public that they had already obtained accurate information and set up an ambush in the Immortal Du Sect. They could be considered to have conscripted the Immortal Du Sect.
At that moment, Li Changshou, who had just attacked Ksitigarbha, was writing and painting in the Pill Chamber.
Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya were still looking at the situation in the mirror. From time to time, they would discuss softly the aftermath of the battle. Li Changshou had previously asked them the same question.
“What did you learn from this battle?”
Youqin Xuanya’s answer was not bad.
“Although the humans and demons are old enemies, they are not. Not all demons are evil. We have to eliminate the demons who cause trouble. After all, the demons are all formed from ten thousand spirits. There is an endless stream of them in the world. The most important thing is to separate them and make more gentle races give up on being demons.” Li Changshou praised her and looked at Ling’e. Ling’e was a little embarrassed. She bit the tip of her tongue and said softly, “I’m not thinking as much as Senior Sister.”
“Tell me.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “At most, I’ll just read the Steadiness Sutra a hundred times.”
Only a hundred times… Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and voiced her thoughts openly. “If I don’t have a Connate treasure to protect me, I can’t fight easily!” “Huh?” Youqin Xuanya tilted her head. Li Changshou, who was at the side, looked up and sighed softly. He was accidentally touched by this little girl… “I’ve changed my mind. I’ll copy it a thousand times and finish it tomorrow.” Ling’e pursed her lips. She knew it. Let’s talk about serious matters. Although they had fought, they could not relax in their subsequent arrangements. If the Heavenly Courts and Ren School could not gain the favor of the public, they would be easily attacked by the demons and the Western Sect.
This time, the demons had launched a large-scale attack on the Immortal Sects of Ren School. Li Changshou had planned it slightly. He could completely unify the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools and wipe out the demons of the five continents… Li Changshou smiled. Forget it. I’ve already decided not to take the initiative to plan anything for the next two hundred years. Of course, more importantly, if the Dao Sect and the demons’ destiny clashed, it might add unnecessary variables to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
The Primordial World News:
Due to the schemes of the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, Ksitigarbha, the demons had gathered more than 200,000 demons yesterday and entered the Middle Continent and the East Continent to ambush the Carefree Immortal Sect and the Immortal Du Sect.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God had planned ahead of time. He had set up an ambush in the Immortal Du Sect and asked the disciples of Jie School to help the Carefree Immortal Sect. He had wiped out 90% of the demons who had invaded for a small price, which was the death of the hundreds of members of the Carefree Immortal Sect while ensuring that the Immortal Du Sect did not suffer any losses. During that period, the Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent took the initiative to help. It was the first time that the Heavenly Courts’ army and the dragon race joined forces…
It is said that the souls and True Spirits of the cultivators of Ren School who died in battle were received by the Netherworld. They were given priority to reincarnate and reincarnate early. Another half a day passed. White clouds came from the south of the Immortal Du Sect.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals escorted them all the way. The Sect Leader and the ordinary disciples of the Immortal Du Sect were all very famous.
As for the consequences of the temporary expropriation of the sect, the ambush set up by the Heavenly Courts, and the damage suffered by the sect, only a dozen or so peaks had been destroyed. The Immortal Du Sect would not pursue the matter. On the other hand, many disciples felt that it was indeed embarrassing for the Heavenly Courts to leave without any help. However, overall, with the Sect Leader’s explanation and the “evidence” version circulating in the Primordial World, the matter was covered up. After all, compared to the Carefree Immortal Sect, the Immortal Du Sect was considered very lucky. Hundreds of people from the Carefree Immortal Sect died and thousands of people were injured. The casualties were all from the experts in the sect. In particular, more than ten Grand Elders of the Carefree Immortal Sect and dozens of elders had perished together with the experts of the demon race. Naturally, the Western Sect and the demon race had to bear the responsibility… Li Changshou could not do anything else. He could only express his sympathy to the Carefree Immortal Sect as the Water God of the Heavenly Courts.
The other sects and immortals had their own opinions, especially the Immortal Du sect. They even asked very considerately if the Carefree Immortal Sect needed any elders. Anyway, the two sects cultivated similar Daos. They could borrow some elders to protect the sect.
After that battle, Li Changshou did not need to plan much. The Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent all agreed to form an alliance. Three to five sects organized a wave of Demon-Slaying Experience… The north and south border of the Middle Continent began to bustle with activity. The demon race’s border forces were constantly being suppressed. The demons, who had suffered two huge losses, did not dare to start a war with the human race. They could only shrink their territory.
The Heavenly Courts took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. It was indeed not Li Changshou’s plan this time.
The Heavenly Courts had issued a demon extermination order to exterminate the negative karma demons. Apart from the merit given by the Heavenly Dao, one could also go to the Heavenly Courts to receive a set of Spirit Stones, pills, and count them as the merit of eliminating demons. Although very few immortals would really go to the Heavenly Courts to receive rewards, the publicity effect was indeed good.
After the battle of the dragon race returning to Heaven to the battle of the East Ocean’s eye, the battle in the Demon Ascension Mountain Range, and the battle of the Immortal Sect of Ren School recently, the prestige of the Heavenly Courts soared. Who would have thought that the Heavenly Courts, which no one cared about a few decades ago, would have a huge rise today? In addition, the Heavenly Courts were currently recruiting Heavenly Soldiers and looking for talents. The Qi Refinement cultivators who originally looked down on the Heavenly Courts in the Primordial World began to have some ideas. In Li Changshou’s words, although he could not obtain any original shares in the Heavenly Courts, he could easily become a core member. It could be foreseen that there would be more and more Itinerant Immortals with outstanding cultivation levels in a while. They would go to the Heavenly Courts to find a job to earn some merit… Of course, that was all in the future.
Two days after the battle, the Immortal Du Sect fell silent again. The people who had been drugged previously were also awakened.
His master, Qi Yuan, lectured Li Changshou for a while. Considering that his disciple had put in a lot of effort, he did not use the horsetail whisk to hit the buttocks of an ordinary authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts. Jiu Yushi asked a few more questions. Ling’e used the excuse that the situation was urgent at that time and did not have time to explain before she fainted and hid with her in the South Continent. She managed to dodge the question perfectly. Jiu Jiu… thought that she was drunk. Xiong Lingli said, “Cousin, you’re right!”
Youqin Xuanya, on the other hand, was greatly touched by the battle. After taking the initiative to ask Li Changshou a few questions about cultivation, she returned to the mountain and entered seclusion. She said that she wanted to break through to the Heaven Immortal realm within a hundred years.
She had already thought that Li Changshou’s arrangements this time should be to let the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect with good cultivation levels enter the Heavenly Courts as Heavenly Generals.
As the previous chief disciple, she was the best example.
Youqin Xuanya looked forward to it. After reluctantly sending the Pagoda Master away, Li Changshou felt a sense of security and uneasiness. Losing the Pagoda Master meant that his life was fragile.
With the Pagoda Master, he could fight against ten thousand people alone. Li Changshou did not know what the situation was like with Ksitigarbha. He could not contact Daoist Wen Jing at that moment. He could only continue to keep his guard up. Now that he had sowed discord between the demons and the Western Sect, Ksitigarbha should not have many usable weapons. He had to be steady. If Ksitigarbha attacked again in the future, he would use the casualties of the Carefree Immortal Sect to ask the Great Daoist Master to go to the spirit mountain to exert some pressure. He would directly call out his name and beat Ksitigarbha up.
Of course, it was indeed difficult to kill Ksitigarbha on the Spirit Mountain. It involved the pride of a Saint.
Another half a month later, the storm gradually dissipated. Li Changshou was just about to resume his leisurely and boring cultivation routine when a group of “uninvited guests” rushed to the Immortal Du Sect.
The beautiful figure standing at the bow of the Immortal Island floating on the cloud looked in the direction of the Immortal Du Sect. Under her skirt, snow-white fox tails swayed back and forth.
I will definitely let you know that I succumb to you, not because of the loneliness in the dungeon…
Daoist Priest Qi Yuan.
