Tao and Heaven

Chapter 257: Making a big fuss and leaving
Even Huayang was stunned at this moment.

It's not that he wasn't prepared for death. It was also right for him to be killed in revenge for taking over the Dao.

Hua Yang still remembered that he had planned to have someone risk his life to send the life-saving magic weapon to Gu Wen. Faced with the resistance of many elders in Shangqing Sect, he said:

'The Dao Emperor is very powerful and holds the Great Qian, so Gu Wen can be abandoned. On the contrary, if Gu Wen can reach the Nine Nine Dao Foundation, I can also be abandoned.'

Then his master volunteered to save him from danger and sacrifice his own life.

But a favor cannot outweigh a debt, and a merit cannot outweigh a revenge.

However, Huayang did not expect that Gu Wen would actually kill him on such a charge. Such a perfunctory attitude was simply undermining the authority of Dao Zong and the laws that had been in place for 800 years.

Huayang frowned, hesitating as he looked at Gu Wen who was ten feet away. There was no murderous intent on his ordinary face.

Are you kidding?

Nonsense!

Huayang showed a hint of anger on his face, which made him more angry than killing him directly.

In this case, it would be better for Gu Wen to go and kill him directly. At least it can be said that it is a grudge between the two of them, and it will not involve the laws of Dao Sect.

Snapped!
Akabane slammed the gavel again and said, "Kneel down, sinner!"

"What crime have I committed?"

"Because your right foot entered the hall first."

"There is no such crime in Dao Zong's laws."

Hua Yang stood with his hands behind his back, facing the saint calmly and fearlessly, and said, "Please find other charges. As long as they are in line with the laws of the Dao Sect, I am willing to plead guilty."

"Gu Wen said yes, so it must be yes!" Chi Yuzi snorted coldly and said, "Are you the current Three Pure Ones, or is it Gu Wen? Kneel down quickly, or I'll beat you with a stick."

All the Dao Zong masters who were watching were ashamed.

So far, most people do not think that Huayang will die. He may be locked up by Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable, but he will not be beheaded at all.

In this case, Huayang Tianzun will eventually ascend to the throne. After offending Chi Tianzun so badly, doesn't he leave a way out for himself?

From now on, I'll just follow Jade Pure Heavenly Venerable.

"Please change the charge."

"Cheep, cry ...

Two monks holding wooden sticks came forward, confused and not knowing where to start.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have already pressed the other person to the ground. Even if it was a true master who committed a crime, he would still be beaten with a stick. There was a rumor in the Inspection Office that someone was expelled from the sect because he had beaten his master with a stick.

Therefore, he was promoted to the main lineage by Huayang Tianzun as an exception, and became a true disciple. He is now a senior member of the Zhenwu Palace.

But do we also need to be beaten with the stick of the Three Pure Ones?

Gu Wen whispered a few words in Chiyuzi's ear, and the girl's red eyes flickered as she said, "Anyone who does something that should not be done shall be flogged forty times."

Huayang's face suddenly turned gloomy.

What should not be done is something that is not clearly stipulated by the law but should not be done in theory.

This was set by him, mostly to suppress those who deliberately disturbed the city and were familiar with the law. Otherwise, if the law could be used by people all the time, it would also be a kind of destruction.

Soon a bench was placed in front of him, which was undoubtedly a more respectable form of being beaten. But for Tianzun, simply being summoned was already a loss of face, and being beaten in public was unheard of.

There was silence all around, and everyone held their breath.

Is it possible that the Three Pure Ones will be beaten in public?
Suddenly, the eighty-one formations of the sky prison penetrated the cave, and the thirty-two levels of the cave were isolated.

Words condense in the void, and a golden sun appears for each word.

[Dao Zong's laws cannot be crossed]

Immortal Qingcang took action!
Everyone was excited, but Akabane's hat tilted and his face showed timidity.

"Gu Wen, why don't we just take off this outfit and token and settle our personal vendetta."

She was not stupid and could understand what Immortal Qingcang meant. She could take revenge, but she could not do that while wearing these clothes.

Gu Wen raised his hand and struck in the air, and a breeze blew away the characters, and everyone was shocked. They could not see the trick, and both the characters and the breeze were commonplace to them.

But this is the first time that someone has disobeyed the Immortal Qingcang. It seems that Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable is a little too proud of his favor.

A cold snort came from the void, and the door of the Inspectorate slammed shut.

Everyone thought that Jade Pure Heavenly Venerable was going to be finished. If he was not punished at all, then he would really be the immortal.

There were only three people left in the courtyard.

"Go on, either clap your hands or die."

The gentle voice was like a silver needle falling to the ground, making the surrounding area silent.

Hua Yang said: "The fate of the Heavenly Lord depends on whether or not I will be beaten?"

He looked at the Taoist in green above him. His aura was identical to that of Master Qingcang, but for some reason he seemed even more aloof and superior.

Everyone knows that the immortal Qingcang is strict, but few people know that Qingcang's strictness is more like a mother's, and it is only to protect other weaker children.

The saint in front of him was not stern, but just chillingly indifferent.

It is like the sun hanging high in the sky, its mighty power is imperceptible.

Rules, laws, and order are of no use to him.

The Taoist in green nodded slightly. Huayang took two steps forward, stood in front of the bench and lay on it. Chiyuzi raised his hand and two golden lights transformed into a person. He picked up the magic weapon, the wooden staff, and then put it down without any delay and hesitation.

Snapped!
The blow hit Huayang's butt, making a deafening sound as if it was hitting fine iron.

The second, third, and fourth blows, the stick fell again and again, without any mercy. Even though Huayang was a celestial being, he could only crawl on the top of the board to receive the caning.

This most famous celestial being in the world besides the immortals could only grit his teeth and endure.

The thirty strokes of the cane were finished in half an hour.

Gu Wen asked, "How does it feel?"

Huayang stood up from the bench. He had no injuries on his body, but his face looked very ugly.

Face is more important than anything else. Huayang is not a person who cares a lot about face, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about face at all.

"This is the rule you set. Judging from your appearance, this crime has fulfilled its purpose. When someone attempts to challenge authority but does not violate the law, you can use an infinitely broad crime to punish others."

Hua Yang said: "If there is no such crime, then the law will be difficult to enforce. If there is desire, there will be no law, and it will be difficult for people to have justice. Or do you have a better way? I often hear my master praising you."

Gu Wen did not answer, but asked: "Are you concerned about the world?"

Huayang nodded without denying: "Those who work for the public are the most capable."

"What if it's not for the public good?"

"Then the mind is not calm, the will is not firm, and there are too many tortuous ways in the world to satisfy selfish desires."

"Then why is there any crime that is not deserved?"

"There will always be a small number of people who will be sacrificed. Dao Zong's laws cannot be questioned. Just like you did back then, because Dao Zong needs Daqian and needs Emperor Daojun."

Hua Yang looked directly at Gu Wen, without any intention of hiding anything, and said, "I confess all the causes and consequences of the past. I will accept it even if you want to kill me or chop me up."

"Old thing! You keep complaining and I'm still feeling wronged!"

The gavel flew out directly, and the golden light it carried was enough to cause a mountain to collapse. A trace of bright red slowly flowed down Huayang's forehead.

Chi Yuzi threw his black hat to the ground and cursed: "Don't say these empty words. Why didn't you send yourself down to be a dog for Emperor Daojun?"

Hua Yang, still bleeding, replied, "If I come down, Emperor Daojun will just be on guard and turn hostile. He took advantage of Dao Zong's desire not to be exposed, and then tempted him with benefits, leaving Dao Zong with no choice."

Looking at the Taoist priest in green clothes on the stage, unlike the angry Chi Tianzun in front of him, there was not much emotion on his ordinary face. He was not angry about being sacrificed, nor did he feel hatred for the extermination of the Gu family.

"Perhaps we have had a choice, but we will not offend Emperor Daojun for you."

"Then don't blame us if we kill you today."

Akabane's eyes were cold. She was always straightforward and never cared about any exchange of interests, only about right and wrong.

Huayang nodded, but before he could finish his words, a golden light enveloped the room, filling it with bright golden light.

Boom!

A single punch unleashed a force of tremendous strength, shaking the thirty-second levels of the Heavenly Prison.

Akabane hit Huayang's chest with all his strength, hitting his heart and lungs, breaking his ribs and causing him to feel heartbroken.

The aftermath of the fist wind fell on the gate, and an invisible force eliminated it into nothingness.

Huayang stood there straight, he had no intention of defending himself, his Dao and cultivation did not move at all. However, Chiyuzi's fist was still on his slightly sunken chest, and the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish.

She really intended to take someone's life, and he wasn't lying.

Hua Yang said: "The cause and effect between him and me has become an unstable factor for Dao Sect. It would be great if we could resolve it."

"Do you think you won't have to die if you're honest and straightforward?"

Akabane sneered, then turned around and looked at Gu Wen.

"I will help you kill him. We don't want the position of Heavenly Venerable anymore."

Gu Wen said calmly, "Killing the Three Pure Ones is not as simple as giving up the position of a Heavenly Lord."

"Stop nagging me. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, then I'll do it."

Akabane didn't care about all that. He retracted his fist slightly and then punched out again.

This time the target is the face.

Yun Miao rushed out from the void and took the punch. Seeing this, Chi Yuzi not only did not stop, but instead increased his strength and pulled out dozens of phantoms with his arms. Fist shadows fell from the sky like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

Except for the main structure of the entire lobby of the Procuratorate, all other equipment was crushed into dust by the aftermath.

Yun Miao wrapped the whisk in his hand around Chi Yuzi's fists, and said helplessly, "It's someone else's business, how can you make a decision for him?"

He thought that since Gu Wen was willing to summon Huayang in the capacity of Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable, there should be room for maneuver.

But Yun Miao ignored the fact that Huayang was a stubborn person, and also ignored the fact that Chi Tianzun was protecting his child.

The two of them got mixed up in everything and started fighting right away.

Akabane was furious and said, "Why is it someone else's family?"

The white silk of the whisk was tense, as if it would break at any time. But Yun Miao's cultivation was obviously much higher than Chi Yu Zi's. The difference between a 3,000-year-old and a 1,000-year-old Tianzun with the same talent was huge.

Gu Wen blew out a light breath, and the whisk broke immediately. Chiyuzi punched Yun Miao without hesitation.

Yun Miao got punched in the chest and couldn't help but groan.

He turned around, grabbed Huayang and ran out, and Akabane followed closely behind him.

The tightly closed door was pushed open, and the people outside saw two rays of light, one clear and one golden, flying out. Then, all those with the cultivation level above True Lord saw Yun Miao and a nine-foot golden man.

They fought fiercely in the thirty-sixth level of the Heavenly Prison as if they were at loggerheads, and the aftermath shook the earth.

Yun Miao carried Hua Yang and scolded him, "You stubborn ass, will you die if you just bow your head and admit your mistakes? I am really going to be killed by you. How can I have a junior brother like you?"

They are from different schools, but they have worked together in the past.

"I was waiting for him to tell me how to end the cause and effect, but he said nothing from beginning to end."

Hua Yang's voice was deep, Yun Miao resisted Chi Yu Zi's attack, and said: "He didn't kill you, and he didn't say how to settle the cause and effect. What does he want to do?"

"I don't know, but you shouldn't have come to save me. Just let Chi Tianzun end it all. When a person dies, his debts are wiped out. The great cause and effect should also come to an end."

Huayang felt a little resentful, and Yunmiao was so angry that he laughed.

"Is it because I am meddling in other people's business?"

"Your Majesty, we are here to help you capture the thief!"

At this moment, the True Lords of Shangqing Sect reacted and tried to stop them together. In an instant, dozens of Taoists who were at least at the Return to Void Stage flew over, and the nine-zhang golden man's body shook slightly.

Next came the True Lords of the Taiqing Sect. Seeing their own Heavenly Master being chased and beaten, they could not turn a blind eye and attacked the nine-zhang golden man one after another.

The Sky Prison Formation was activated, and chains flew out from the void, wrapping Chiyuzi into a huge iron ball.

Now, only a dozen breaths have passed, and Akabane has become the target of public criticism.

Huayang and Yunmiao not only did not feel relieved when they saw this, but their expressions changed slightly, and the same thought emerged in their minds.

'broken! '

Yun Miao took Huayang away only to let Gu Wen decide, but when these ignorant outsiders took action, the situation suddenly became complicated.

What does it mean to capture a thief?

Hua Yang finally couldn't help but mobilize his magic power and shouted, "How dare you! Who dares to attack the Heavenly Lord who controls the world! Heavenly Prison Taoist soldiers, quickly capture the troublemaker."

As the voice spread, many True Lords, Heavenly Prison Taoist soldiers, and people from all sides hesitated slightly.

Although Huayang is no longer in office, his prestige remains and his words still carry weight.

This is why they want to help Huayang. For most people in Dao Sect, Yuqing Tianzun is a stranger who has just arrived, while Huayang is the headmaster who leads Dao Sect to the peak.

The Taoist in green suddenly appeared in mid-air, standing on the iron ball, looking down at the many powerful people below with indifferent eyes.

Many of them agreed to sell themselves to the Zhao family, and many of them insulted Yu Hua.

But none of that matters, hatred is an equal emotion.

Now that he has attained enlightenment, all creatures are inferior and nothing in the world is worthy of his attention.

Hua Yang shouted loudly: "I am willing to repay the karma with my life, please don't let Dao Zong be affected."

"This is my sect, how can it be affected?"

A smile appeared on Gu Wen's lips, and then he stamped his feet lightly.

The next moment, the hundred-foot iron ball made of shackles exploded with a loud bang, and an incomparable air wave swept across the entire cave. The hurricane stretched for thirty miles to the left and right, and countless equipment was swept up.

Gu Wen fell into the nine-zhang golden man, and Chiyuzi's aura continued to rise, already infinitely close to that of an immortal.

"Gu Wen, what should we do next? Do we need to continue fighting?"

Akabane knew that the matter had become a big deal, but she showed no fear at all.

Gu Wen said calmly, "Beat them, but don't kill anybody. Yu Hua only said to beat everyone up."

He had waited so long just for Huayang to come out and give him a beating.

"Okay! Then I'll make a big scene. When Immortal Qingcang blames you, you can't put all the blame on me. If you don't share the blame, I'll bite you to death, you stinky guy!"

After saying this, the nine-zhang golden man broke out of the heavy restraints and charged among the many True Lords, knocking them to the ground in an instant.

After fighting for an hour, countless True Lords were beaten black and blue, and even Yun Miao was not spared.

Then the nine-zhang golden man flew away, and no one could stop him.

At the top of Sanqing Mountain, Li Yunshang looked at the golden light disappearing into the distance and cursed in a low voice, "Traitor, you are expelled from the sect."

Then she lowered her head and glanced at the orb in her hand.

The holy position of Jade Purity can obtain endless spiritual energy.
