Tao and Heaven

Chapter 239: Heavenly Lord Cannot Be Insulted

There was chaos in the city. A large immortal boat took off in violation of regulations and collided with other immortal boats. Two huge monsters were suspended in the air.

There were rising and falling screams from below, mixed with the shouts of officers trying to stabilize the situation; the situation was a complete mess.

But compared to the turmoil in Taiyi City, there have been no casualties so far.

Gu Wen commented: "These cities in the cultivation world are not even as good as Daqian in terms of management."

Apart from the extraordinary power, it is actually a scattered, inefficient, and poorly organized ruling body. Although those cultivators in the Tianxuan Conference Secret Realm can remain calm in the face of Mahayana attacks, they are a minority.

"Emperor Daojun created a dynasty? There's no benefit in managing it well." Chi Yuzi said indifferently: "Townships and villages rely on the people's clan system for self-governance, and cities are governed by aristocratic families. Each has its own responsibilities. As long as the people are not living in misery, the clan will not intervene, and does not want to intervene."

"Although Immortal Qingcang said that he wanted the world to be united, and he built many training halls and schools so that the people could learn to read and have access to training. He also installed a heaven and earth communication channel that could transmit messages a million miles away in each major city, but there is no difference between eight hundred years ago and now."

Gu Wen asked, "Do you think the master is doing useless work?"

"I think Immortal Qingcang is too tired." Chiyuzi shook his head and said, "For example, the immortal wants the people to have enough food, so Dao Sect spends tens of millions of spirit stones every year to cultivate the seeds of the Five Spirit Valley and distribute them to the whole world. At first, many sects intercepted them, and the people actually benefited very little."

She took Gu Wen's hand, and her spiritual thoughts rose into the sky, extending over an area of ​​hundreds of miles, from bustling cities to country roads, from wealthy homes to farmyards.

The rich still live in extravagance, but the poor can hang ears of grain on the eaves of their houses.

"Qingcang Immortal has devoted all his efforts to the development of the Five Spirits Valley. Every ten years, apart from fighting wars, he does it to feed the people. But it took Dao Sect three hundred years to achieve the prosperity of the human race today. Haha, it is called a prosperity, but it only feeds the sects and noble families, and drips some water from the silk cloth to the people."

"This drop of water has been there for eight hundred years."

Gu Wen did not comment.

It is an objective fact that the sect monks occupy the vast majority of resources, and it is not wrong for the master to want the world to be united. It is just because of the great power of individuals that the current situation has formed where one person is pushing society forward.

He won't be able to do better than his master.

Akabane withdrew his mind, took another sip of wine, and looked slightly tipsy.

She moved slightly closer to Gu Wen, with her finger against Gu Wen's nose, showing no manners or gentleness.

"Don't learn from Immortal Qingcang. She is doomed to have a bad ending if she behaves like this."

Gu Wen showed a helpless smile and said, "After taking a sip of alcohol, you are also evaluating the master."

"This is what Immortal Qingcang told me." Chiyuzi burped, "We just need to practice and take care of ourselves. If Yu Hua were still here, we could find a cave and escape from the secular world."

"Just the three of us?"

"Are the others willing to leave the world? Immortal Qingcang will definitely not let go of the human race, and as for the others... Am I familiar with them?"

"You, that's why you can't make friends with like-minded people."

"There is no need for many like-minded people. You alone are enough."

Akabane raised the wine glass in his hand towards Gu Wen, then drank it all in one gulp, shouting that it was so delicious.

At this time, a cat poked its head out from Gu Wen's arms, curiously looking at the food and drinks on the table. Akabane naturally recognized Gu Wen's heirloom, grabbed it into his arms, and then lured it to drink the spiritual wine.

Most of the drinks in the cultivation world are brewed from spiritual fruits and taste sweet.

The girl held up the kitten and said with a smile, "Gu Wen, what are you going to do when you get out?"

"Travel around the cultivation world and take a look around. For example, in Huajian Island, Yu Hua said that the Qianfeng Tower here is the best in the world. The women there dance like no other, and are outstanding in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and singing."

Gu Wen's expression softened a little. Upon hearing this, Chi Yuzi did not show any contempt for Gu Wen's visit to the brothel.

Not only did she not object, she also offered a suggestion: "Why not let Lu Chan dance for you? I have never seen Tianzun dance."

A fairy boat lost control and slowly fell down, its shadow covering the brothel. At this moment, even the area near them began to become chaotic.

Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi didn't even raise their eyebrows, and just chatted and drank without paying any attention to what was happening outside.

"It depends on whether Lu Chan is willing or not."

"Don't want to? Then watch me tie her up and put her on the stage."

Akabane patted her chest. She was a little tipsy and the noise outside was getting louder, which made her look a little unhappy.

He pointed outward with his right hand, and golden light illuminated the entire sky. The immortal boat stopped in mid-air, and the golden light turned into the word "ding".

"This time we are the gods, and others are the prey. We will kill anyone who disobeys us, and we will destroy anyone who disrespects us. They bullied us in the past, and we will fight back in the future."

"Hasn't the master finished all the accounting?"

"There are even more people who ran away. Immortal Qingcang is busy fighting Jianmu, so he doesn't have the energy to check them one by one."

Zheng!
A dazzling sword light illuminated half the sky. Xie Yunnan, with his peak Jindan cultivation, defeated the Yuanying cultivator, who was injured and fled.

Afterwards, Xie Yunnan hid his figure, and after everything was settled, other great monks arrived slowly.

An incense stick later, Xie Yunnan, sweating profusely, walked into the room and reported to Gu Wen.

"Uncle Gu, She Jingqiu has been kidnapped. The Nascent Soul cultivator just now seems to be from the Yin Yang He Huan Sect."

After knowing Gu Wen's identity and spending some time with him, she also changed the way she addressed him.

Both Akabane and Gu Wen are our elders.

"Why does it sound so much like Brother He's sect?"

Gu Wen remembered that He Huan was from the Yin Yang Sect, and this sect had the word He Huan in it.

Xie Yunan replied, "Both of them came from the same sect, but had a disagreement ten thousand years ago. One faction remained in the Taoist sect and became the Yin-Yang Sect, while the other joined the Demon Sect and added the word Hehuan."

It is the second-ranked sect in Huajianzhou and was also the former overlord of Huajianzhou.

"Nothing, let's watch the show."

Gu Wen leaned against the window, and he saw a cultivator with a special pure energy in his body among the crowd.

Akabane's spiritual thoughts were directed to a more distant place, and She Jingqiu was taken away by a group of people.

She said, "Now they have agreed to send the little girl out to find the Three Pure Ones Dao Sect. At this time, Dao Sect can make the decision for her."

With Chi Yuzi's broadcast, Xie Yunan could also see the scene a hundred miles away and said, "The Yin Yang He Huan Sect is quite righteous. It is better to lend a helping hand at this time."

"Lend a helping hand? It's just a struggle for power."

Akabane's face was full of disdain, and then he shamelessly repeated Gu Wen's words.

"I guess She Jingqiu was originally trapped by the Yin-Yang Hehuan Sect. They let her escape for two months just to make things worse. The loyal and brave descendants of the Ninghua Sect were persecuted. How will other sects view this? How will the Dao Sect view this?"

Those who are in power in the world today are all those who have made great contributions in the war between humans and demons.

This level of relationship is the legal system and is recognized by the vast majority of monks.

The powerful ones rose to power in the war between humans and demons, so naturally they had to maintain this legal system to make their position as the Supreme Lord more secure.

Xie Yunan was very smart and suddenly realized, "The Yin-Yang Hehuan Sect wants to drag the Qianfeng Sect into the water and make Xuanjin Tianzun lose his position as Tianzun!"

But is it necessary to go to Huajianzhou?

She looked at Gu Wen who was teasing the pet.

Matters involving the Heavenly Lord require at least the Three Pure Ones to make the decision, and now the one who rules the world is the Jade Pure One.

In terms of orthodoxy, neither Taiqing nor Shangqing Tianzuns are as good as Gu Wen, and they have no right to convict a Tianzun.

Xie Yunan felt a little sorry for She Jingqiu and said, "She Jingqiu is caught up in the struggle between various forces. I don't know if she can have a good ending. Uncle Gu, can you help her?" Gu Wen said meaningfully, "Many times, if one party is a bad guy, the other party may not be a good guy."
-
Qianfeng Sect, a side hall.

A man was knocked flying and hit hard on a giant pillar carved with a phoenix that required two people to hug it, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Miscellaneous stuff! Why are you telling me now? Do you know what you have done?"

Hua Qing Zhenjun clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. At this moment, her face was filled with shock and anger.

"I asked you to pursue her, not to snatch her away by force! Do you think it is still eight hundred years ago? Now there is the Immortal Qingcang ruling the universe above, and the Heavenly Lord shepherding the people in all directions below."

He grabbed the man by the hair and lifted him up. Hua Qing Zhenjun almost roared, "Are you trying to kill me?"

She knew that her nephew was pursuing the heir of Ninghua Sect, and she was happy to promote this relationship. If her nephew could take over the inheritance of Ninghua Sect, she would have the help of a second-rate sect.

It will be of great benefit to both one's cultivation and one's voice in Huajianzhou in the future.

But Hua Qing Zhenjun never expected that her nephew would dare to directly kidnap the descendant of a loyal hero. That was the descendant of a martyr who died fighting for the human race, and it was clearly written in the Daoist documents and announced to the world.

How dare he? How dare he!

The man didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, and cried with grievance on his face: "Auntie, you don't know! That woman deceived me and used the excuse of becoming a Taoist couple to cheat me out of all my wealth. I sold all my property and made ten magic treasures for her to cheat me out of!"

"I just wanted to get those ten spiritual treasures back. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Hearing this, Master Hua Qing calmed down, but was still very angry.

"Idiot, you went to a brothel to find a double cultivator and you paid for it without seeing anyone? And it would be fine if you just tied her up, but why did you send people to hunt her down?"

It would have been fine if they had just hunted him down, but they also went on for two months and everyone in Huajianzhou knew about it.

If this place wasn’t thousands of miles away from Dao Zong, if Dao Zong was next door, this kind of thing would have been exposed the next day.

"This was done by Shen Guang, and he instigated the arrest."

"Who is Shen Guang?"

"The true teachings of the Yin-Yang Hehuan Sect."

Bang!
The man flew out again, crashed into the wall, and fainted after flying a hundred meters.

Zhenjun Hua Qing's breathing gradually became calmer. She calmed her mind, knowing that if she took another wrong step now, she would be doomed.

The good news is that the heir of Ninghua Sect is not dead, and things are not yet irreversible.

The bad news is that she is not dead. If she reports the case, at the very least, Dao Zong will punish her and depose her. At the worst, Dao Zong will deprive her of the position of Heavenly Master of Qianfeng Sect and then the Sect Master will kill her.

Extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.

Run? If I run now, maybe I can still make it.

After an incense stick of time, Hua Qing Zhenjun arrived at the back mountain. An old woman sat under the pavilion in the valley and asked as if she had known about it for a long time, "You're not running?"

"You know?"

"Truth cannot be hidden, and now everyone in Huajianzhou knows about it. Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't hidden here to heal my wounds, maybe this day wouldn't be here."

Lu Chan looked at her, changed her name, and said, "Senior Sister, you are too soft-hearted. Because you secretly went back to see your parents after you cut off your ties with the mortal world, you lost the chance to enter the immortal realm. Now you are doomed because of your nephew."

Hua Qing Zhenjun was several dozen years older than herself, and was also her senior teacher. At first, they had a good relationship, but it was not until they competed for the position of successor that their relationship gradually became distant.

"They are all mine, so I can't blame anyone else."

Hua Qing Zhenjun smiled miserably. She came three steps outside the pavilion, knelt on both knees, put her head to the ground, and said, "Hua Qing failed in his duty and caused a great disaster. I am willing to take the blame with my life."

Lu Chan shook her head and said, "You can't bear it. Dao Sect will definitely punish you severely. Otherwise, how can we calm the people of the world?"

The unity of the human race today is based on the fear and hatred of the demon race, and those who sacrifice are heroes.

Only three hundred years have passed now. For the monks, those who experienced the war back then are still in their prime, while for the powerful, it may just be a period of seclusion.

“Yes.” Hua Qing Zhenjun showed a fierce look on his face, “As long as I practice evil methods, betray the sect and become a demon, and then be caught by you. This way, at least I can keep my position as the Heavenly Venerable and prevent the Qianfeng Sect from being affected.”

"You will then be blamed, and your nephew and relatives will also be implicated."

Lu Chan walked out of the pavilion, bent down and helped Hua Qing Zhenjun up, a smile appearing on her wrinkled face.

"Sister, please let me come. The most I'll lose is my position as Heavenly Venerable. I'll just thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet a truly peerless person."

Suddenly, a clear and mysterious sound was heard from outside the mountain gate, spreading for hundreds of miles.

"The Qianfeng Sect has seized the inheritance of the Ninghua Sect, disrespecting the laws of the immortals and persecuting the descendants of heroes. I hope Xuanjin Tianzun can give an explanation."

Lu Chan took a step forward and moved to the outside of the mountain gate, where she saw a man in a gorgeous robe with an evil face standing in the air, and further away were the leaders or elders of various sects.

A group of people came to demand an explanation, it was obviously premeditated.

Yin Xu, the leader of the Yin Yang Hehuan Sect, is also the previous Tianzun of Huajianzhou.

The reason why he was not liquidated was because he broke through the Dao realm in seclusion and did not participate in the event of becoming an immortal. Therefore, he did not contribute to the battle between humans and demons and lost his position as the Heavenly Venerate.

He has always been brooding over it, but he dared not rebel against Dao Zong.

Now that he has seized the opportunity, he pounces on us like a wild dog.

Lu Chan said calmly: "Since you have seen the Heavenly Lord, why don't you bow?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Yin Xu's eyes, and he said, "Xuan Jin Tianzun, you are now guilty."

"presumptuous!"

Lu Chan waved his hand and half of the sky turned into an inverted ground. An illusion array covered an area of ​​100 miles, pulling everyone present into it.

Yin Xu was caught in an illusion. His body trembled as he bent and bowed, then he immediately woke up.

He looked at Lu Chan again, with a little more fear in his eyes.

Lu Chan said coldly: "I don't need a little True Lord like you to tell me what I have done wrong. Go to the City Lord's Mansion and use the Heaven and Earth Passage to ask Dao Zong for forgiveness."

Yinxu Zhenjun was furious and said, "Xuanjin, you can't even protect yourself, yet you're still showing off your might."

"As long as I am the Lord of Heaven, you will be my subjects. Do you want to disobey me?"

Lu Chan swept his eyes across the powerful people from all directions, and no one dared to look directly at him.

Then, the people from all sides bowed their hands and said in unison: "Greetings to the Heavenly Venerable Xuanjin. We dare not disobey the Heavenly Venerable's orders."

Yin Xu's expression was extremely gloomy, but he no longer dared to talk back.

He discovered that the world had really changed. It was no longer simply about fists being respected. The title of Heavenly Venerable was sometimes more powerful than a Taoist weapon.

Originally everyone had agreed to put pressure together, but as soon as Lu Chan mentioned the title of Heavenly Venerable, everyone came to their senses.

You are good at fighting, but can you beat the Immortal Qingcang?

You are very powerful, but is it more powerful than the Three Pure Ones?
The grass on the grave of the last person who questioned the status of Tianzun was already a hundred feet high. In order to ensure the mobilization of the human race during wartime. Tianzun's power was granted by the Immortal Qingcang, and only Tianzun could fight against him.

Even if other people have the strength of the same level, resisting the Heavenly Lord would be an act of insubordination.

We will judge right and wrong later, and those who violate the rules will be executed first.

If Yinxu and Luchan were to suppress Luchan today, then the Dao Sect would definitely hold them accountable for their crimes first tomorrow, and then Luchan would be right or wrong. If Luchan died, the one who came would probably be the God of Killing Chi Tianzun.
