Chapter 304 - Firstly, I Should Have A Small Plan
Chapter 304 Firstly, I Should Have A Small Plan
In the Sea God Temple of Anshui City, Ao Yi quickly entered the main hall in his silver armor.
IT Look at Ao Yi. He’s wearing a silver chain mail and a traditional dragon battle armor. His face is delicate like a young man’s, causing many young female devotees to look at him.
Of course, most of them were curious as to why that little general was that similar to the Great Guardian’s statue.
When the Divine Envoys heard the news and went to pay their respects, the True Dragon Guardian rushed over to address him as His Highness. Only then did the devotees understand that the Great Guardian had descended to the mortal world!
Hence, they bowed, knelt, surrounded him, and caused quite a commotion in the Sea God Temple.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
His paper effigy which was in the form of an old immortal, had always been active there. Later on, he had publicly announced that he was the incarnation of the Sea God. How did it just!?!
Nowadays, even immortals had to look at their faces…
Just as Ao Yi was at a loss and did not know how to deal with that situation, Li Changshou’s voice transmission reached his ears.
“Come to the rear hall. The Great Daoist Master is also here. Don’t be rude.”
IT Great Daoist Master? Ao Yi could not help but become nervous. He looked at his own attire and rushed to the rear hall. He saw a young Daoist who was drinking tea and standing at the side…
Li Changshou.
ME Ao Yi even forgot to bow to the Great Daoist Master first. Instead, he said in shock,
“Brother Sect Master, why did you… run out?” Li Changshou glared at Ao Yi. The latter immediately reacted and bowed to the Great Daoist Master. He said, “Greetings, Great Daoist Master!”
“Alright.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and nodded.
ME Li Changshou knew that the Great Daoist Master did not want to add karma, so he took the initiative to move forward. He took out a scroll from his sleeve and reminded earnestly,
“You dealt with the matter regarding the West Ocean in advance. It’s not bad.
Ao Yi, you are now a mature Dragon Prince. You have a Deity Position in the Heavenly Courts and have cleared your negative karma. You have a stable footing in Jie School.
Today, I will impart this sutra to you. I hope that you will comprehend it properly and not be arrogant or rash. You have the will to support the dragon. In the future, you will definitely soar into the sky. No matter what the dragon race experiences in the future, you will have to use this sutra as a reference.
Do you remember?”
Ao Yi agreed. “I understand!”
Then, he held the scroll with both hands. Seeing that there were no words on it, he was curious.
The Great Daoist Master at the side also scrutinized the sutra. He did not ask further and just smiled.
Li Changshou muttered to himself again with a serious expression.
Ao Yi whispered, “Brother Sect Master, did something major happen?”
ME “This matter has yet to be decided.” Li Changshou said. “His Majesty, the Jade Emperor, intends to hold the Immortal Peach Banquet twelve years later and invite the Four Sea Dragon Kings to attend the banquet in the Heavenly Courts. There is a deeper meaning behind this. Think about it carefully. You can report this matter to the Dragon King of the East Ocean, but remember not to tell anyone.”
“Don’t worry, Brother!” Ao Yi agreed. He looked at the sutra in his hand and began to consider the matter.
Li Changshou deliberately avoided the threat of the Heavenly Emperor. He also described the matter of the Immortal Peach Banquet very vaguely, so as to reduce the pressure on the dragon race.
In the next twelve years, forming good relations and putting pressure on them would be carried out simultaneously.
With the four Sea Dragon Kings being so old, ahem, they should be able to understand the Heavenly Courts’ attitude. Li Changshou instructed, “Return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Remember to read this scroll carefully. It will definitely be beneficial to you.”
Ao Yi asked again, but Li Changshou only shook his head and told him not to worry.
Then, Li Changshou gave him a hint.
“Previously, that expert from the Western Sect attacked my incarnation. No matter what, the karma has to be removed in time.”
Ao Yi immediately understood something. He bowed to the Great Daoist Master and did not say anything else. He quickly left Anshui City with the dragon troops.
As an insignificant prince of the dragon race, he could not meddle with the matter.
ME Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and sighed. “Changshou, you only said a few words just now, but you managed to do a few things.
You have imparted the sutra and reminded the dragon race. You have also used Ao Yi to spread the karma regarding the Golden Cicada.
I really don’t know how to praise you.”
Li Changshou said seriously, “I was just doing some trivial matters. Without the protection of the Great Daoist Master and the Saint, I couldn’t have used these little tricks.”
“You!”
The Great Daoist Master flicked his sleeve and placed a round chair beside him.
ME “I’m thinking about how to act.
If you have any good ideas, feel free to tell me. Let’s study it carefully. If it’s something that Teacher has personally set up, we should do our best.”
“Great Daoist Master, you’re right.” Li Changshou did not hesitate and said directly, “I thought that the most important part of this attack would be… to retreat.”
The Great Daoist Master’s lips twitched. “What kind of logic is that?”
“Thank you for your guidance, Great Daoist Master.”
Li Changshou said slowly, “This time, we attacked Jin Chanzi. Jin Chanzi is a key pawn in the Western Sect’s rise to prosperity. Even if the two Saints of the Western Sect are not as good at predicting as us, the Saints, they are still Saints.
According to what I know, Jin Chanzi is the only favored one among the Primordial Beasts that the Western Sect has taken in.”
“Hahaha!”
The Great Daoist Master suddenly laughed out loud. “Continue talking. Continue talking. Why do you leave so much to imagination when you say the words ‘only favored one’?”
“Uh, I just wanted to be more descriptive.” Li Changshou smiled awkwardly and continued to explain his analysis.
He talked about a variety of things, from the power of the Saint’s mystical abilities and the Cosmic Escape technique of the Golden Cicada, to the cunning and ferocious nature of the Primordial Beasts. He also analyzed from a few perspectives, that the Golden Cicada might have a life-saving trump card.
ME An hour later, Li Changshou said,
“Before you make a move, think about the punishment for failing. That way, you will be able to prevent any mistakes.”
ME The Great Daoist Master nodded slowly and said, “Changshou, what you said makes sense. This matter involves the schemes of the Saint. It’s not bad to be cautious.
How should we set up the retreat?”
“Great Daoist Master, can I tell you while I write?”
Li Changshou took out two blank scrolls from his sleeve. “I’m used to doing this when I’m thinking about something.”
“Sure!”
The Great Daoist Master was also excited. He condensed a desk for Li Changshou and began to discuss the next “simple” plan with him.
ME Four hours later…
“Alright!”
The Great Daoist Master looked at the two paintings that were filled with small words and arrowheads. He praised, “With this method, why should I worry about this matter? Why should I be afraid of the Western Sect’s retaliation!?!”
ME Li Changshou smiled shyly and said, “However, Great Daoist Master, this is just a plan that is of our first priority. Moreover, it is an ideal state to deliberately ignore a few variables.
In my opinion, I should make more arrangements and reconsider the most basic variables.”
The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and was about to say that there was no need for that.
Li Changshou bowed again and said, “I feel that there are no accidents in the world. There are only situations that we have never thought about.”
“Yes!”
The Great Daoist Master felt that what Li Changshou said made sense. He pulled a chair and continued to discuss the backup plan with Li Changshou.
Four hours later…
ME “Changshou, these plans should be enough. We are going to kill a Primordial Beast, not attack the spiritual mountain. How about this?
If anything happens, I can ask Teacher to help us.”
“Yes, since you say that it’s possible, Great Daoist Master, let’s do that. I’m just giving some useless suggestions. The final plan will still have to be decided by you, Great Daoist Master.”
The Great Daoist Master was obviously relieved.
ME Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Great Daoist Master, may I be bold enough to recommend the pawn that the Ren School planted in the West?
She should have some ties with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. Perhaps, she could grasp its weakness.
In that case, I will be more confident when I attack later.”
ME The Great Daoist Master looked up slightly and sat in the round chair. He smiled and said, “I can really be at ease now. From now on, I’ll let you handle the affairs of Ren School.
Go, go. Do you need me to help her conceal her whereabouts?” ME “Great Daoist Master, you only need to use your mystical abilities to envelop this place. She is also considered vigilant and should have a way to protect herself.
However, I cannot expose my identity. I will disguise myself.”
“Yes.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Your transformation technique seems to be unique. Come, let’s take a look.”
Li Changshou immediately accepted the order and recited the incantation in his heart. He turned half a round and transformed into the commonly used image of the Sea God paper effigy.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and squinted. He did not comment and only said, “Go and make arrangements.”
Li Changshou agreed and immediately closed his eyes to focus. He made the paper effigy start to move.
I’ll take this opportunity to complete Daoist Wen Jing’s long-cherished wish so that she can officially come into contact with the Great Daoist Master.
In that case, he would not be breaking his promise to Daoist Wen Jing.
IT Great… Great Daoist Master?!
On a desolate beach in the south of Anshui City, a fish jumped out of the ocean. It supported itself against the surface of the ocean and glared at the young girl who was holding onto a flute.
The young girl sent a voice transmission. “Don’t be anxious. Be safe. Don’t expose yourself.”
The fish kept nodding. With a wave, it disappeared. ME In the Cave Abode at the foot of the spiritual mountain, the figure that was originally lying on the bed suddenly sat up. She waved her hand gently, and her sleeves fluttered.
IT Is he going to meet me?
There were ripples in Daoist Wen Jing’s phoenix-like eyes, but she immediately snorted and raised her chin slightly. IT I’m just giving you some face. Do you really think that you can be high and mighty just because you are a disciple of a Saint? You are bossing and ordering me around.
Hmph, I’m just doing this for the sake of the Sea God…
I messed up. The Sea God still has to listen to
him.
Daoist Wen Jing sat there in a daze for a while. Then, she sneered and floated towards the clear pond with a hint of smugness.
Her dress fluttered in the wind, and she looked timid as she bathed and put on makeup.
She changed into the dress that she had prepared a long time ago. She felt that it was a little too ‘conservative’ and was too different from her usual self. Hence, she hurriedly condensed a few different sets of clothes. After picking and choosing, she still ended up in a red dress. However, she hid her shoulders and skirt, leaving only four parts of her body exposed in an alluring manner and adding some otherworldly aura. She was used to having her bare feet wrapped in a pair of embroidered shoes.
She was usually not fond of formalities but she also put on some clothes today.
She then carefully thought about her makeup. Her long hair was combed back with some sideburns, and she stood in front of the water, gently turning half a round. IT Hmph, I will definitely make you lose your mind! Kneel under my dress, hahaha…
At this moment!
“Did you encounter any trouble? If it’s not convenient for you to come, don’t force yourself.”
That was naturally what Li Changshou said to the Blood Mosquito puppet
“Nothing, nothing. I just spoke to a few Western Sect disciples,” Daoist Wen Jing hurriedly replied in her heart. Then, she pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, and rolled her eyes. With a flick of her sleeve, her figure disappeared.
She was an expert in hiding from others and preventing them from checking up on her.
Moreover, Daoist Wen Jing was not suspected, and the Western Saints did not notice anything unusual. No one would pay special attention to her whereabouts.
To be safe, Daoist Wen Jing used a few methods to conceal her whereabouts at the same time. She chose a place where the hidden experts of the Western Sect often gathered. Along the way, she used her mystical abilities and sent her incarnation there. Her main body secretly rushed to Anshui City.
ME An hour later, in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, Daoist Wen Jing appeared outside the rear hall. When she sensed the Dao runes of the Connate treasure, her Dao heart trembled slightly.
She had originally held her head high and puffed out her chest as she took a step forward. However, after taking two steps, her eyes landed on the person who was dozing off at the back of the hall master’s seat. She could not help but change her posture subconsciously.
As she walked, she deviated from their path. For some reason, she arrived at the left side of the inner hall’s door. She held onto the door frame with her slender hands and looked inside.
IT Such a powerful smell!
This feeling of fear and deja vu…
It was just like how she felt as a young girl. Back then, her heart palpitated when she saw the powerful leader in the sea of blood when she was still an ignorant mosquito.
By the way, the leader was smacked to bits by her later.
IT Um..
She moaned softly and winked at him. It’s him, it’s him, it’s him!
She actually spaced out.
*Coughs*
Li Changshou coughed hard. The Great Daoist Master, who was sleeping soundly, sat up calmly. Daoist Wen Jing, who was outside the door, seemed to be shocked and quickly retreated to the side.
Outside the house, Wen Jing’s forehead was against the door frame, and she was twisting the corners of her clothes with her fingers.
In the hall, the Great Daoist Master tilted his head slightly. He was confused. He frowned and looked at Li Changshou, who now had the appearance of the Sea God.
IT Is this the ferocious beast of the Primordial World, the queen of the Black-Winged Blood Mosquitoes, who killed countless living beings?
Li Changshou nodded helplessly.
The Queen was indeed the Queen. However, today she might be a little damaged…
“Ahem!” The Great Daoist Master cleared his throat and said, “Changgeng, has the person you were talking about arrived?”
“She’s here.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ll go and call her over now. Great Daoist Master, please wait for a while.”
After saying that, Li Changshou held the horsetail whisk in his left hand and the hem of his robe in his right. He rushed out.
ME “Wen Jing, you’re here! The Great Daoist Master is inside. Why are you standing there…”
When he reached the door, Li Changshou paused. He saw Daoist Wen Jing holding a handkerchief to her red lips. There were some tears at the corners of her eyes.
The handkerchief was drenched. Her obsession was really admirable!
Li Changshou said in a warm tone, “Wen Jing…”
“Lord, please wait a moment.” Daoist Wen Jing covered her mouth and hurriedly sent a voice transmission. “When I saw the Great Daoist Master, I could not help but drool. I immediately held back.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He cursed using the vulgarities of Ren School and in the language of Xiong Village.
