Chapter 374 Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha Is Not Lying To Me
Is the Immortal Du Sect full of mockery? As the weakest Immortal Sect on the surface, how could he be so easily targeted?! Li Changshou looked at the situation that his immortal senses had detected. Several demon armies were marching underground. They passed through the gaps between the various immortal sects in the East Continent and firmly gathered towards the Immortal Du Sect…
He felt a little helpless.
Of course, the 100,000 demons were not difficult to deal with. With the paper effigy army that Li Changshou had gathered outside the Immortal Du Sect, he could deal with most of them. However, if the paper effigy army fought, the “uniqueness” of the Immortal Du Sect would be revealed. Coupled with the rich associations of the immortals in the sect, it was easy to expose that the Water God’s true body was in the Immortal Du Sect.
He had to think of a way to change the battlefield or knock the immortals in the sect unconscious…
In fact, as soon as he discovered the demon army, Li Changshou had deduced what the person behind the scheme was thinking. It was very simple. Just think from the perspective of the Western Sect. For the time being, he would think that the mastermind behind this matter was the mastermind of the East Ocean, Ksitigarbha of the Spirit Mountain. Ksitigarbha seemed to be taking a risky move, but he was actually taking it steadily. Ksitigarbha must have linked the Heavenly Courts to Ren School and used the culprit who destroyed the Demon Ascension Mountain, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Tree, as a target. He had instigated the demons to attack the Immortal Sect of Ren School and told them that they could use this to force the experts of Ren School to appear and kill them. However, Ksitigarbha must have understood that the demons would definitely lose once the battle began. The Great Daoist Master of Ren School alone was enough to turn the situation around. Even the Demon Emperor could not fight against the Great Daoist Master, who was supported by the Connate Cardinal treasure.
However, the defeat of the demons today can increase the hatred between the demons, the Heavenly Courts, and the Ren School. It can also put pressure on the demons.
Looking forward, there would be another matter regarding the demons requesting help from the Goddess Nuwa’s Palace and getting beaten up by Goddess Nuwa.
If Ren School starts to take revenge on the demons, or exaggerate the danger of Ren School attacking the demons, the demons will definitely fall into a state of panic. At that time, they can only lean towards the Western Sect and join the two saints. They can easily be used by the Western Sect.
That should be Ksitigarbha’s main plan.
There should also be other schemes, such as using this opportunity to find out if there were spies from Ren School in the Western Sect. He wanted to try to kill the disciples of the Heavenly Courts and confirm the background of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. He wanted to attack the Sea God Sect, which was a tool to restrain incense offerings, suppress the Heavenly Courts’ destiny, and so on. There were at least ten depths to consider. Regardless of the success of the demons, the losses suffered by Ren School, the calamity suffered by the Sea God Sect, and the steep increase in the pressure on the demons, the Western Sect would benefit from
it.
Overall, it was more than a hundred times more brilliant than when Jin Chanzi went to the Sea God and said that he wanted to split the dragon race with the Heavenly Courts!
Despite analyzing the problem now was… “How can I resolve the situation perfectly?” Li Changshou muttered and continued to pace back and forth.
The Pagoda Master’s voice sounded in his heart.
“Don’t be afraid. Attack! Let them do whatever they want! With me protecting you, you can sit in front of them and recover your immortal power!” “Outnumbered? That has always been a problem of endurance!”
Li Changshou was about to explain when he suddenly saw a golden light flash on the Heaven-Breaking Peak. The Sect Leader flew over hurriedly.
Li Changshou hurriedly opened the outer array formation and welcomed them out of the Pill Chamber.
At that moment, the Sect Leader no longer needed to conceal himself on the Little Qiong Peak. They had set up enough illusions outside the array formation of Little Qiong Peak. “Changshou! Ahem! Ahem!” Li Changshou said, “Sect Leader, don’t be anxious. I have already dealt with this matter.”
Ji Wuyou, who looked anxious, was also stunned. He asked, “Do you know what happened?” Li Changshou habitually chose the safer option and said, “Sect Leader, tell me first. See if it matches what I know.”
Ji Wuyou said with certainty, “A large number of demons have appeared in the periphery of the Carefree Immortal Sect. There are at least a hundred thousand of them. Moreover, there are many powerful demons among them. There are also several demon experts in the Zenith Heaven realm! The Carefree Immortal Sect would definitely not be able to hold on. They had already sent a letter to the Ren School asking for help. If I bring people over now, they will probably not be able to hold on! What should I do?”
Li Changshou frowned. “Carefree Immortal Sect? Hundreds of thousands of demons?”
Oh my god, the demons had actually been tricked by Ksitigarbha to such an extent!
Then, many of Li Changshou’s doubts were resolved.
The other party’s overall plan had already appeared in his heart.
As expected, a large number of demons were already hiding in the South Ocean and the East Ocean. They were prepared to attack the cities in the Sea God Sect’s territory and restrain the Heavenly Courts’ troops…
In a while, as long as he appeared as the Water God, there would definitely be Primordial Beasts sent by the Western Sect. That would make the demons feel that they had a common enemy with the Western Sect.
Ji Wuyou realized that something was amiss and asked softly, “Changshou, what’s wrong?”
“The Western Sect has made a huge move this time. They have a lot of plans,” Li Changshou said. “Sect Leader, there is also a group of demonic soldiers outside the Immortal Du Sect. The demons are unwilling to use too many troops. I’m afraid they have only chosen the Immortal Du Sect and the Carefree Immortal Sect as targets to take revenge on the Demon Ascension Mountain Sect.” Ji Wuyou was shocked. He was a little puzzled and asked, “What is our relationship with the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain Range?” “The Demon Ascension Mountain was destroyed by an expert of Ren School. The Heavenly Courts have always had the support of Ren School.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Next, the Sect Leader will gather the Peak Leaders of the various peaks in the sect. Don’t leave anyone behind. Bring along precious treasures and materials and rush to the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array underground.”
Ji Wuyou said, “If we escape without fighting, wouldn’t it be…”
“This is not escaping without putting up a fight. It’s just to avoid unnecessary injuries.” Li Changshou extended his hand backward. A paper effigy jumped out from the corner. A jade token flew out from his backpack and floated into Li Changshou’s palm. Li Changshou said, “Please forgive me for offending you. I’m the Little Daoist Master of Ren School. Sect Leader, don’t hesitate. Do it quickly!”
Ji Wuyou frowned, but he did not hesitate and immediately nodded. However, the Sect Leader recalled something and smiled bitterly. “The underground teleportation array has long been destroyed. It will take at least half a month to repair it!” “It’s fine. I’ve prepared it for the sect.”
Nothing!
Ji Wuyou widened his eyes and looked at the disciple of the Little Qiong Peak who was speaking casually… “Ahem! Why did you prepare that?” “There’s no harm in being prepared.” Li Changshou smiled. In fact, he had only started creating it in the past decade. “Sect Leader, descend another 16,000 feet from the original array.” Li Changshou took out a jade token from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Wuyou with both hands. “There is an underground teleportation array there. This array is even more secretive and will not be found. The earth meridian is connected to the northeast of the South Continent. If you go out, you will be beside a large city in the mortal world. You can let your disciples hide in the city temporarily.”
Ji Wuyou was speechless.
Li Changshou urged, “There’s only an hour at most. When the battle of the Carefree Immortal Sect begins, they will attack the Immortal Du Sect. Sect Leader, don’t worry. I have a way to help the Carefree Immortal Sect.”
“Ah! I’m counting on you this time, Changshou!” “Sect Leader, remember to guard this matter on my behalf.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely not tell my master anything!” After saying that, Ji Wuyou grabbed the jade token and turned around to shoot towards the nearest peak. Li Changshou bowed and heaved a sigh of relief. In that case, it would be much easier to deal with the rest.
At that moment, Li Changshou realized that the four demon armies that had rushed to the Immortal Du Sect were hiding between 7,500 kilometers to 9,000 kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect. They did not attack directly.
It was as he had expected. The Pagoda Master asked in confusion, “Little disciple, how do we help the Carefree Immortal Sect? Should we let the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals go?” “Although there are enough Heavenly Soldiers who are well-trained, there are too few experts above the Heaven Immortal realm.” Li Changshou shook his head. “We can only ask for help now.”
It was rare for the Pagoda Master to be rational. He muttered, “Request for help? Those bastards from the Western Sect should have expected that the other sects would rush to the Carefree Immortal Sect and set up an ambush.” “The other party’s schemes are elaborate. He should have investigated the background of the Ren School. Since he dared to enter the Middle Continent, he must have set up a backup plan.”
Li Changshou took out a jade token and smiled. “If you want to break the stalemate, the easiest way is to introduce external forces. Those demons who have already appeared in the Middle Continent will not get to return today.” At that moment, he quickly tapped his fingers and activated the restrictions on the jade token. There was a ringing sound from the other end. It seemed that many treasures were piled together and colliding with each other…
“Changgeng?”
After the Sect Leader, Ji Wuyou, personally sent a message, the members of the various peaks of the Immortal Du Sect immediately moved.
The people in seclusion were all awakened. Fortunately, no one was at the crucial moment of breaking through.
Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators carried their wealth with them. With the help of the elders in the sect, it would not take long for them to clear the treasures in the Dao Repository Hall and Hundred Mortal Hall…
The Peak Leaders and elders displayed their abilities and led the disciples underground. They crawled tens of thousands of feet underground with some difficulty and entered an empty “hall”. They saw the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array that was thousands of feet in diameter…
Hearing the immortals in the sect praise the Sect Leader for being thoughtful, Ji Wuyou felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Fugui, who was also known as Exalted Wang Qing, and the ferocious Jiang Lin’er took action together with the Nine Jiu Immortals to maintain order.
At that moment, Jiu Wu and Jiu Shi were also hurriedly searching for Jiu Jiu’s whereabouts. However, they soon received a voice transmission from Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and Exalted Wang Qing, telling them not to worry. Jiu Jiu and Jiu Yushi were naturally on the Little Qiong Peak. Li Jing, who had already grown into a young man, was being protected by two old Perfected Immortals in the crowd. At that moment, he was rather puzzled when he saw such a scene, but he did not show any fear.
Li Jing’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit when he heard from his Aunt-Master and Aunt-Master beside him that another demon was attacking.
However, at that moment, the sect did not allow him to draw his sword and move forward. He had to exterminate demons. If he rushed out now, he would be at the other extreme of the God’s descent…
Free food from the deity.
He heard Sect Leader Ji Wuyou’s voice spreading everywhere.
“Ahem, ahem! The Heaven-Breaking Peak shall guard the back while the Misty Spirit Peak, Pill Tripod Peak, and Immortal Downpour Peak lead the way to investigate. The elders, members, and disciples of the various peaks monitored each other. Whoever used the communication jade token and array formations to seal their cultivation would be dealt with after the matter! Don’t ask about anything else.”
The immortals answered in unison. As the array was activated, groups of Qi Refinement cultivators entered the array in an orderly manner and used the power of the earth meridians to teleport away. Not long after, Youqin Xuanya hurriedly found Ji Wuyou. There was some hesitation in her eyes. She lowered her head and cupped her fists.
“Sect Leader, why didn’t you include the Little Qiong Peak?”
Ji Wuyou sighed softly. Just as he was about to ask Youqin Xuanya not to ask further, he suddenly thought of something and said, “They have decided to stay.”
“I shall stay too!” Youqin Xuanya looked up at her Grandmaster. Her eyes lit up. “Sect Master, please grant my wish! I’ll have no complaints for the rest of my life!” “Go.” Ji Wuyou waved his hand. Before the disciples of the Heaven-Breaking Peak could react, Youqin Xuanya had already bowed and turned to fly away.
“Little Ya!”
Jiang Jingshan hurriedly shouted, but she was stopped by Ji Wuyou’s hand gesture.
“Don’t worry. She should be safer here than following us.”
The immortals were confused. Youqin Xuanya’s entire body was wrapped in immortal power. She entered the gaps between the rocks on the upper path and rode her immortal sword to the surface. Not long after, she appeared in the valley below the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Just as she was about to rush towards the Little Qiong Peak, she saw a few figures flying above her. Youqin Xuanya was stunned. More than ten figures stood in the sky and scattered immortal beans on the peaks. The immortal beans exploded and quickly turned into Heavenly Soldiers. Many peaks were already filled with bright-armored soldiers. At that moment, the mountain-protecting array formation was completely activated. The sky was filled with colorful rays of light. “Come to the peak.” Li Changshou’s voice sounded in her heart. Youqin Xuanya’s eyes were filled with confusion. However, she nodded and agreed. “Yes, Senior Brother.”
She carried her sword and rushed to the Little Qiong Peak. Soon after, she entered the array formation of the Little Qiong Peak and was led to the Pill Chamber by a beam of immortal light. As soon as she entered the Pill Chamber, Youqin Xuanya was stunned.
There were a few familiar figures lying inside. They had all fallen asleep. Qi Yuan was lying in the corner. Jiu Jiu was sleeping soundly with a wine pot in her arms, Jiu Yushi was sitting on the meditation cushion, and Xiong Lingli was snoring thunderously…
Li Changshou was sitting in front of the Pill Furnace with a thoughtful expression. Suddenly, he said,
“There’s no need for that, Youqin.”
Youqin Xuanya had yet to recover from her shock when she heard a familiar chuckle behind her. Her immortal senses did not detect anything. Ling’e had approached her from behind! “Hehe.” Ling’e retracted her hand and put the porcelain bottle back into her sleeve. She hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged Youqin Xuanya from behind. “Senior Sister, don’t be angry. Senior Brother asked me to do all these!”
Li Changshou scoffed and did not retort.
The corners of Youqin Xuanya’s mouth twitched slightly. She sighed softly and asked firmly, “Senior Brother Changshou, what do you need me to do?” “Everything has been arranged.” Li Changshou closed his eyes and answered, “The two of you can play chess to relieve your boredom. Don’t panic when you hear anything later.” Youqin Xuanya turned to look at Ling’e. Both of them could see the helplessness in each other’s eyes. “Are we really going to play chess?” Youqin Xuanya asked softly.
Ling’e blinked. “Just follow Senior Brother’s instructions.”
After a while, the two of them really set up a chessboard. They sat opposite each other and began to play black and white chess seriously.
The entire Immortal Du Sect was silent. More than ten peaks were occupied by the “Heavenly Soldiers”. Tens of thousands of Immortal Bean Soldiers began to carry out simple “guard” orders.
The order of attack should be starting from the Sea God Sect, followed by the Carefree Immortal Sect, and then the Immortal Du Sect. There were also two Golden Immortal realm paper effigies on the Sect Leader’s side who could provide support at any time. The Sea God Sect’s territory was too vast at that moment. They could only defend passively. The damage might be very severe. Li Changshou could only try his best to reduce the casualties of mortals and Divine Envoys and put the accounts in his notebook. The Carefree Immortal Sect had already made arrangements. In the beginning, they had to grit their teeth and endure. The reinforcements would arrive soon.
However, it was not the style of the Ren School disciples to be passive and get beaten up. It was not the style to promote the Western Sect and the Earth Buddha…
Li Changshou smiled.
“Hey, Senior Sister Youqin, look at my senior brother…”
“What’s wrong?” “With Senior Brother’s smile, someone will definitely be arranged.” Youqin Xuanya tilted her head slightly. Ling’e looked serious.
The Immortal Bean Soldiers that Li Changshou had set up in various parts of the Little Qiong Peak were all lying down and covering themselves… A moment later, in the hundreds of remote Sea God Sect cities in the south and east coasts of the South Continent, a similar scene happened at the same
time.
More than ten mortals, who seemed to be fine, were suddenly surrounded by demonic flames. They screamed and terrifying demonic beasts emerged from their bodies!
The demonic beasts roared and pounced towards the empty Sea God Temple, wreaking havoc along the way.
However, in the blink of an eye, golden light flickered in the sky. Dragon roars sounded in the seawater. Golden pillars of light landed on the hundreds of cities, and silver-armored figures flew out.
The show of the Heavenly Soldiers fighting the demonic beasts was happening everywhere. At the same time, at the Carefree Immortal Sect in the Middle Continent…
Dark clouds covered the sky, and a demonic aura surged!
Hundreds of thousands of demons were brought over by countless demon experts. They landed near the Carefree Immortal Sect and attacked the Carefree Immortal Sect fiercely.
In the Carefree Immortal Sect, most of the disciples’ faces were pale. Dozens of experts from the sect rushed to the sky above the various peaks and shouted in unison. They unleashed their immortal powers and supported the mountain-protecting array formation with all their might!
In the southwest, northeast, and east of the Carefree Immortal Sect, streams of light began to gather. They were like three rivers that surged towards that place!
Not only that, jade talismans shot out from various parts of the Middle Continent. The Immortal Sects of the human race were alarmed…
A moment later, dozens of huge holes appeared outside the Immortal Du Sect. Endless demonic vibes blew out of the holes. Similarly, the experts of the demon race came with demonic soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the four demon armies surrounded the Immortal Du Sect! However, just as the demons were about to attack the mountain-protecting array, a few old demons realized that the situation was a little… amiss.
They each gave orders. The demons temporarily stopped charging forward. The experts of the demon race looked into the array formation and saw that the entire Immortal Du Sect was empty.
An old demon sniffed and said in a low voice, “There’s not much human smell. They’ve run away.”
Dong…
A wisp of zither music sounded in the sky. A white cloud slowly descended from the sky. Sitting on it was an old immortal with white hair and a white beard. He was playing the zither with his head lowered.
“Water God!”
“The Water God is indeed here!”
“Kill… Wait! Be careful of the Spirit Explosion! Everyone is gone!” “Heh.” Li Changshou chuckled and stopped playing the zither. He floated above the mountain-protecting array formation and looked at the demons everywhere.
A small amount of flames suddenly appeared around him. In the blink of an eye, his incarnation was engulfed by flames, but his calm and comfortable voice echoed in the world.
“A hundred thousand demons, medium merit. That fellow Daoist did not lie to me. Everyone, please enter.”
As he spoke, the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation flickered gently. With a bang, it exploded like a bubble.
