I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"What you said makes sense. There is no shortage of sycophants in this world."

Empress Cao pondered carefully, nodded slightly, and then took a gold token from her waist and handed it to the other party: "Awan, take my gold token and bring Ayi here; remember, you must act discreetly."

The maid named Awan accepted the golden token with both hands and solemnly said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant understands."

Empress Cao smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Go."

"Yes."

Awan bowed and accepted the order. However, after leaving the palace, she did not rush to the Heavenly Prison immediately. Instead, her body turned into a blur and she arrived at a Taoist temple with a plaque that read "True Immortal Temple" at an extremely fast speed.

Inside the Dao Palace, the five gods, who were discussing how to launch a counterattack, simultaneously sensed something and turned their heads to look. They saw a streak of light rush from the front door into the hall and transform into an unfamiliar woman.

"Who are you, and what brings you here?" Liu Huan asked in a deep voice.

The woman transformed into a Toon Tree Spirit surrounded by streaks of green demonic light, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, five senior brothers."

"How will you be here?!"

The five gods were all taken aback, and Zhu Zhao even asked in a trembling voice.

The tree spirit smiled and said, "I have come to relieve the worries of my five senior brothers."

The Five Gods: "..."

What brings relief from worries?

The words sound nice, but if we extrapolate from this result, the fact that the other party is now standing in front of them proves that the cult leader has begun to doubt their abilities.

Of course, up to now, they haven't really lived up to expectations, as the Emperor of Fengdu and his forces have turned the tide in an instant.

"There's no need for such high-sounding words. Let's get straight to the point: what exactly do you intend to do?" Liu Huan said coldly after a short while.

The tree spirit gradually lost its smile and calmly said, "I have a way to prevent Cao Guojiu from returning to his position, but I need the assistance of the five of you. After it is done, I will report to the sect leader truthfully, and you will deserve credit for your efforts."

"What's your plan?" Liu Huan pressed.

The spirit of the ailanthus tree summoned a white jade Buddha amulet with a flip of its hand and said in a deep voice:

“This amulet contains a copper coin. As long as Cao Guojiu wears it on his person at all times, he will never be able to break free from the fate of greed and will never be able to return to his rightful place. But I need an opportunity to secretly give the amulet to the other party without his opponent’s knowledge.”

The five gods exchanged bewildered glances. Gao Zhen spoke up, "You want us to help you find this opportunity? That won't be easy!"

"No, I have already created the opportunity myself."

The tree spirit said, "What I want you to do is to provoke the golden dragon of national destiny that hovers above the palace, so that it will be cut off from all the prying eyes of gods and demons."

The Five Gods: "..."

The Song Dynasty had hundreds of millions of people within its borders, and the Golden Dragon of National Fortune could mobilize the immense power of their will. Even though the five of them were righteous gods, provoking the Golden Dragon of National Fortune was a crazy and dangerous thing to do.

This is similar to why Nuwa didn't directly destroy the Shang Dynasty. While the Song Dynasty couldn't compare to the Shang Dynasty, they certainly couldn't compare to Nuwa either!

"This might be a bit dangerous, but there's no such thing as a life where you can just eat meat without getting beaten up."

As the five gods remained silent, the ailanthus spirit spoke softly, "Five senior brothers, this is your only chance to turn the tide. Once you miss it, it will be too late for regrets. Moreover, how will you explain this to the sect leader in the future?"

The five gods paused slightly in their breathing, exchanged glances, and then Wang Jiao stood up first: "The ailanthus spirit is right, everyone. It's better to decide the winner in one round than to see no possibility of winning at all."

“Then let’s go.” Zhu Zhao gritted his teeth: “Toon Tree Spirit, we’re betting everything on you this time, so please don’t let us lose.”

The tree spirit laughed and said, "Unless you make a mistake, or Yang Jian possesses the ability to foresee the future, I will definitely not let you lose!"

half an hour.

The tree spirit did not go to the Heavenly Prison. Instead, she returned to the palace disguised as a maid, summoned a loyal palace maid, handed her the golden token, and ordered her to go to the Heavenly Prison to fetch the person.

The reason is simple: she fears that her transformation will not be able to hide from the Emperor of Fengdu, so she can only proceed with caution and prudence, preferring trouble to risk.

In this situation, if she ultimately loses the contest, then she won't have any regrets...

the other side.

The five gods arrived together above the palace, and the golden dragon of the Song Dynasty's national fortune immediately sensed it, not only appearing in the sky but also keeping a close eye on the five righteous gods.

The five gods looked at each other, and in an instant they split into five directions, simultaneously launching an attack on the Golden Dragon of National Fortune.

A fierce battle broke out instantly, and rolling black clouds rolled in, causing a fierce wind to blow across the land.

Half an hour later.

A palace maid carrying a golden token arrived at the imperial prison and led Cao Guojiu and the seven immortals, who had been hiding, out of the cell and towards the palace.

When they arrived at the main gate of the palace, the rolling dark clouds had already receded, but the golden dragon of national fortune had not disappeared. Instead, it sat in the void, its eyes fixed on the seven immortals who had come, revealing an extremely human-like wariness. It also enveloped the entire palace with golden dragon energy, blocking any prying eyes.

Qin Yao sensed a powerful hostility emanating from it, as if the golden dragon would fight them to the death if they insisted on entering the palace.

Therefore, he stopped with the six immortals, pondered for a moment, and said to Cao Guojiu, "Go in, we will wait for you outside the palace."

Cao Guojiu didn't think too much about it, and at this moment he wasn't allowed to think too much, so he followed the female official into the palace gate.

At the main gate, Lan Caihe looked at the golden dragon of fortune that was still staring at them and said in confusion, "Why does it look so angry? We haven't offended it."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Qin Yao slowly narrowed his eyes, pondering carefully.

If this situation was caused by human intervention, the apparent purpose was to stop the five of them, but the deeper purpose must have been to sabotage Cao Guojiu.

Given this premise, and considering Cao Guojiu's fate, it's not hard to deduce where this tampering might have taken place...

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Qin Yao's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Having changed into a red robe, Cao Guojiu walked out of the palace with a smile. After walking far away from the gate, he suddenly looked around and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you still there?"

Qin Yao waved his sleeve, and the six immortals appeared beside him, asking, "What did the Empress say to you?"

Cao Guojiu responded, "It means I should repent and stop using the name of the Imperial Uncle to amass wealth."

Qin Yao asked, "Did they give you anything? Like... copper coins?"

Cao Guojiu waved his hand: "No, my sister doesn't have any copper coins either."

Qin Yao paused slightly, then said, "Let's go to the vault. It's time to fulfill your promise to give away all your wealth..."

Since distributing wealth was not a large-scale scattering of money, it took Cao Guojiu nine whole days, starting from that day, to finally distribute his vast fortune to the truly poor people. As a result, the treasury became empty, but he felt his heart was filled instead.

So he spent another day and a half dispersing all the money in the Imperial Uncle's mansion. Then, he stood tall and proud in the courtyard of the mansion, smiling broadly, and asked the immortals in the pavilion in front of him, "Now that I've broken through my life tribulation, can I start cultivating immortality?" Qin Yao took out the Reincarnation Disc and said, "Let's go back to our time and space first. Then I'll find a way to accelerate your cultivation and help you ascend to immortality as soon as possible."

Cao Guojiu nodded heavily, and said with great anticipation, "I'm ready."

Qin Yao silently activated his Heavenly Eye, carefully scanning Cao Guojiu's body, finally fixing his gaze on the jade pendant inside his clothes: "No, you're not ready."

The sorcerers of the Tongtian Sect thought their scheme was flawless, having revealed nothing from beginning to end.

But little did they know that once suspicion arose, Qin Yao would control every detail to the extreme.

Unless the sorcerers of the Tongtian Sect can come up with something far beyond his comprehension, they will definitely not be able to hide it from his Heavenly Eye.

As for whether those people can create something beyond his comprehension...

It's practically impossible.

The reason is that, in terms of the "prophet" attribute, Qin Yao is the outsider on the whole chessboard, while they are all insiders; as the saying goes, those involved are often confused, and even the Tongtian Sect Leader is no exception!

"I'm ready~" Cao Guojiu said, looking completely bewildered.

Qin Yao slowly raised his right arm, flipped his palm, and the jade pendant placed inside Cao Guojiu's clothes floated out automatically.

Cao Guojiu blinked and said, "This is a Buddhist amulet that my sister gave me. It shouldn't have anything to do with greed, right?"

"Buddhist amulet?"

Qin Yao smiled, flicked his finger, and a beam of spiritual light rushed towards the jade tablet, making the jade layer transparent and revealing a brand-new copper coin inside.

Cao Guojiu was dumbfounded.

How could there be copper coins inside a Buddhist amulet?
“Oh, I see. The day the Golden Dragon of National Fortune intercepted us and blocked our access, it was because someone was interfering. Their purpose was to put this Buddha amulet on Cao Guojiu’s body.” Zhongli Quan pointed to the Buddha amulet and said.

Qin Yao nodded slightly and looked at Cao Guojiu, saying, "With this token, or rather, with this copper coin, you will never be able to return to your rightful place, and there may even be unpredictable dangers."

Cao Guojiu hurriedly took off the Buddha amulet, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in horror, "Does this mean that there is also a powerful sorcerer by my sister's side?"

"Don't worry, it's okay even if they do, they won't dare to directly harm your sister," Qin Yao said.

Cao Guojiu breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Although this amulet has problems, it was given to me by my sister after all. Please allow me to put it away."

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "No, you must be penniless. Even if you leave it at home, it's still your money."

Cao Guojiu: "..."

"Think of your younger brother who is still suffering in hell," Qin Yao said again.

Cao Guojiu took a deep breath, stared at the Buddha amulet, and said, "Whoever finds it, it belongs to them."

After saying that, he suddenly threw the Buddha amulet over the wall with all his might.

Qin Yao laughed and used magic to activate the Reincarnation Disc, enveloping the eight figures. However, after a long time, golden light descended upon the heads of the seven immortals, but Cao Guojiu remained unresponsive.

"What's going on here?" Lan Caihe asked.

Qin Yao's smile vanished as he stared intently at Cao Guojiu, asking, "What other evil deeds have you not yet committed?"

If there are still evil deeds being committed here, then the karmic consequences involved will be enough for Heaven to imprison the offender's body.

Cao Guojiu shook his head: "In the past few days, I have not only given away all my family wealth, but also cut off all hoarding and speculation. There are no evil deeds that are still ongoing."

“There must be, otherwise Heaven would not have forbade you from traveling through time and space,” Qin Yao said.

Cao Guojiu racked his brains trying to recall what other evil deeds had not been committed, and then the area gradually fell silent.

While he was thinking, Qin Yao was also pondering.

However, he was thinking about the original plot, and through gradual recollection, he finally remembered a scene.

In the original play, Cao Guojiu's younger brother died from illness. As the older brother, he couldn't even afford a single copper coin, and the doctor couldn't save his brother because of this one copper coin.

This led to Cao Guojiu's obsession with copper coins and his deep hatred for doctors, resulting in the imprisonment of many doctors after he gained power...

Thinking of this, Qin Yao let out a soft breath and said in a deep voice, "Let me help you think of something. Evil deeds stem not only from greed but also from revenge. Do you have any revenge in progress?"

Following this line of thought, Cao Guojiu's expression changed slightly.

"Really?!" Lan Caihe exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing his expression.

Cao Guojiu let out a long breath and said, "There is retaliation, but I don't think it's an evil act."

"Tell me about it," Qin Yao said calmly.

Cao Guojiu pursed his lips and said, "Many years ago, my younger brother was on the verge of death. I carried him around seeking medicine, but because I had no money, no clinic was willing to treat him. There was even a doctor at a clinic who deliberately humiliated me, claiming that he would treat my brother if I took out a single copper coin, treating a human life as a joke."

Therefore, after my sister established herself in the palace and I gained power due to my status as a maternal relative, I arrested all those cold-hearted doctors I remembered, and they are still imprisoned to this day.

All the immortals: "..."

Well, how should I put it?

It even felt somewhat cathartic, but it also felt a bit excessive.

Qin Yao said, "It's pointless to argue about right and wrong now. You should go and release those people."

Cao Guojiu lowered his head and said, "If only one of them had lent a helping hand back then..."

“Uncle Cao, you can’t live in the past forever,” Qin Yao said earnestly.

Cao Guojiu silently clenched his fist and said, "Alright, I'll go and release them right away."

Qin Yao said, "The sooner the better, otherwise things may change."

Afterwards, the immortals followed Cao Guojiu to a secluded prison, where they watched as he personally released a total of twenty-one doctors.

Although the doctors looked disheveled and showed signs of torture, thankfully no one died as a result, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

at the same time.

The spirit of the ailanthus tree appeared in front of a house and frowned as it looked at the Buddha amulet worn around a child's neck.

She simply couldn't understand how the Emperor of Fengdu had discovered her scheme, which had been almost flawless and hadn't revealed the slightest clue from beginning to end.
Could it be that he was so cautious that he conducted a thorough and in-depth scan of Cao Guojiu before setting off, thus discovering the copper coin hidden in the jade tablet?

Such meticulous attention to detail is chilling upon closer examination! (End of Chapter)
