Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1223 The Truth
An astonishing force burst out from deep underground in Tianyun Mountain, forming a pillar of light that reached the sky.

This beam of light can be seen from a thousand miles around.

The universe was shaken, the sun and the moon retreated. Mountains and rivers shook, and the earth's veins shifted.

Himiko exclaimed: "Holy Pope!"

In the column of light, a peerless figure descended upon the earth with a mighty power that could shake mountains and collapse them.

Himiko bowed and saluted, "Himiko, on behalf of the Holy Church, welcome the Holy Church Pope."

The Holy Pope's eyes were full of contempt, "Now that I have set foot in the mortal world, I will begin my journey of the Holy Church. Lord Shaoyang, I will let you see the peerless magical power I have cultivated by paying with the seal."

"Qitian Shoujia, the Holy Emperor True God!"

"Qitian Shoujia, the Holy Emperor True God!"

...............

Amid the cries of the believers, the Holy Pope issued his first order since leaving seclusion, "Contact the Li tribe, wait for an opportunity to gather the Li Yuan, and lay the foundation for the future of our religion."

"We obey the Holy Pope's order!"

Inside the Yueshengming Mountains, Jing Canglang, Jing Wuhuan and others were waiting for the next move.

"Well, someone entered Mingluan."

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure walked in.

When Jing Canglang saw the newcomer, he was surprised and asked, "Young man, who are you and why are you able to enter Mingluan?"

Leng Hanfu laughed and said, "Why, Jing Canglang, Jing Wuhuan, after changing my face, you can't recognize me?"

Jing Canglang said in disbelief: "You are... Haichan Zun!?"

"Seeing this expression shows that my efforts were not in vain." Leng Hanfu immediately revealed his identity, "My real identity is Mr. Thirteen of the Academy. I am also the candidate for the Tai Chi Sword among the five candidates to kill Tian Li. Therefore, I chose to use Haichan Zun as my disguise to cover up my identity and prevent the Li clan from targeting me."

Although Jing Wuhuan was surprised that Leng Hanfu was so young, he suddenly realized: "Then you said that Haichan Zun was your disguise. Now that you have taken off your disguise, doesn't it mean that your identity has been discovered by the Li Clan?"

"That's what I'm going to talk about next. I heard the details..." Leng Hanfu told how he went to kill Di Zhili, and then encountered the Li tribe led by Banjie Wangji, and finally he used his strongest sword to fight both sides and they were defeated.

Jing Canglang asked with concern: "What about your injuries?"

Leng Hanfu replied with full energy: "With the help of the secret method passed down by my family, I am almost cured."

"That's good." At this point, Jing Canglang shook his head and sighed: "Yuqing Realm, ah~"

Although Jing Wuhuan didn't say anything, his face also looked bad.

Leng Hanfu naturally knew what the two were thinking, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be like this. This is a deal between me and Yuqing Realm. After today, please don't tell anyone about it."

After hearing Leng Hanfu's words, Jing Wuhuan was even more ashamed and apologized to Leng Hanfu, "Young man, you are doing this for the common people of the world without seeking fame or gain. I am really ashamed of yourself."

Why Jing Canglang and Jing Wuhuan are like this, we have to start with a person named Haichanzun.

This Zong Yanlu master of the Sanqing Taoist world has been confirmed to be a member of the Li clan.

In this way, not only will the Yuqing Realm be infiltrated by the Li Clan, but they will also be allowed to hold high positions.

This incident can be said to have caused a bad impact on the Yuqing Realm and even the entire Taoist Realm.

To put it mildly, it means that you don't know people well.

To put it more seriously, the good reputation accumulated since the founding of the school was destroyed in an instant.

In the eyes of outsiders, no matter what, Haichan Zun is the leader promoted by your Yuqing Realm. It is no wonder that the Yuqing Realm can let a person with ulterior motives climb to a high position. If this continues, if the Yuqing Realm does not find a way to restore its reputation, it will probably fall from grace.

This is why Yuqing Realm, one of the three major Taoist sects, made a deal with Leng Hanfu to impersonate Haichanzun.

Leng Hanfu participated in the Taihuang Divine Decision as Haichan Zun and served as the painter of the Holy Fang.

Under his plan, Yue Shengmingluan won the final victory.

In this way, the Yuqing Realm can announce to the world that it is not that the Yuqing Realm is incapable of judging people, but that the Li Clan is cunning by nature and has stolen the identity of the Yuqing Realm's Sanhu by passing off fakes as genuine, and the real Haichan Zun is still in seclusion practicing.

This is not without precedent. For example, the master of Yueshengming Mountain, Yunguo Dihun, was also impersonated by someone from the Li clan. His identity was the leader of the Holy Sect.

If the Zi Yao Dynasty had not intervened and uncovered the truth, the Saint-Devil War would have been used by the Li Clan.

The Yuqing Realm can announce to the outside world that Haichan Zun came out of seclusion after receiving the news and served as the painter of the Holy Square. He worked hard for the people of the world and won the final victory, putting an end to the war between saints and demons.

As people of extremely high status among the three religions, Jing Canglang and Jing Wuhuan could already imagine how happy Yuqingjie felt after receiving the news.

It is believed that soon, the rumors will spread that Haichan Zun, for the sake of the people of the world, killed the Li of the Earth, but was retaliated by the Li of the Sky, and his soul has returned to the Dao Mountain.

Leng Hanfu used Haichanzun's identity as a cover, while Yuqingjie used Leng Hanfu to restore its own reputation.

Although this transaction was consensual, Jing Canglang and Jing Wuhuan still felt ashamed.

To break the deadlock, Leng Hanfu said, "Before returning to Mingluan, I will also send a message to Tianfo's hometown. We should also seize the opportunity to eradicate the Li clan."

Jing Canglang and Jing Wuhuan only then noticed the Shepherd God behind Leng Hanfu and asked, "Young Master Leng, who is this person behind you?"

"Who is this……"

Leng Hanfu was about to introduce himself when he heard Mushen introduce himself: "I am Lin Mu, Leng Hanfu's grandfather. I came into the world specifically to protect Fu'er."

Jing Canglang stood up in awe and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Leng's grandfather in person. Jing Canglang has seen it."

Jing Wuhuan asked Leng Hanfu, "What are Young Master Leng's plans for establishing a foothold in the Li Clan?"

Leng Hanfu replied, "When we were in the hometown of Tianfo, Tianzhi Buddha once said that he had left a method of chasing life on Tianzhi Li. I think there will be news of action soon."

At this moment, a letter flew in.

Leng Hanfu took the letter and opened it.

Jing Canglang asked: "But has Tianfoyuanxiang taken any action?"

"That's right." Leng Hanfu said the contents of the letter, "The Buddha of Heaven has discovered the whereabouts of Tian Zhili and invited us to go."

Upon hearing this, Jing Wuhuan recommended himself, saying, "The Li Clan intends to bring disaster to the world. Everyone has fought against them. Jing Wuhuan was injured before and has not been able to participate in the battle. This time, he must not be absent."

Leng Hanfu said: "It is an honor for Leng Hanfu that Master Jing is willing to help."

Bing Wuyi was looking for a way to save Tianli and met her old friend Jian Buyi.

Although the two had a good personal relationship, after the battle at Tianyun Mountain, their positions were clear, so Bing Wuyi was naturally on guard.

Jian Buyi came here specifically because of Wang Ji's injury.

He told Bing Wuyi that if he wanted to save Tian Zhili, he had to find three things: the Feast of Yuntian, the Root of Hundred Qi Flow, and the Heavenly Buddha's Yuanli.

As for why he wanted to help the Li clan, Jian Buyi said that he was dealing with the Li clan for the sake of justice in the world, and he felt guilty towards his good friends, so he gave the method to relieve his personal regret.
