People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 152 Black Lotus’ identity and Western plan!
"Great Lord, please stay!"

Just when Yang Xuan was about to call Bi Xiao to leave Heaven together and head to the Netherworld, Ao Guang suddenly stopped him.

"What's the matter, Dragon King?"

Yang Xuan paused slightly and asked in confusion.

"Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Dragon Clan has received a lot of care from the Great Heavenly Venerable. This small gift is not a token of respect. I hope the Great Heavenly Venerable will not despise it!"

As he spoke, Ao Guang took out a storage bag from his sleeve, lifted it up with his magic power, and placed it in front of Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan: ...

Is this... a gift?

It seems that Ao Guang really wants to improve, but this kind of bad habits is unacceptable...

At least it’s not allowed on the surface!
"Everything I did was for the sake of Heaven, without any selfish motives. Dragon King, please don't do this in the future, and the same goes for you all."

"As a member of the Heavenly Court, we should do things that are worthy of the Heavenly Court, worthy of His Majesty and His Majesty, worthy of the Way of Heaven, and worthy of all living beings in the prehistoric world. We must not be swayed by selfish desires!"

Yang Xuan's eyes swept across everyone's faces with a serious expression. He waved his sleeves lightly and returned the storage bag along the same route.

If Ao Guang gave this storage bag privately, Yang Xuan would eventually accept it after some tug of war.

But in front of so many people, no matter how much he wanted it, he had no choice but to give up.

Now that he has just established the Heavenly Law, if he takes the lead in doing this, how can the Heavenly Law be convincing?

Moreover, if he accepted the storage bag and Ao Guang's thank-you gift in public, more people would definitely ask him to do things in the future, and he would never have a peaceful day.

Everyone was shocked to see that Yang Xuan returned Ao Guang's storage bag without even looking at it.

The dragon clan is famous for its profound cultural heritage. Ao Guang, as the Dragon King of the East China Sea, represented the dragon clan and presented a thank-you gift in public. It goes without saying that the gift must be extremely precious.

Even the two quasi-saints, Dayu and Guiche, might be tempted by the things in this storage bag, but Yang Xuan refused without hesitation.

After a brief moment of shock, they all regained some respect and looked forward to their future life in heaven.

Under the leadership of this great celestial being, perhaps this heaven will be more interesting than what they see.

"Great Lord, have mercy!"

Ao Guang took the storage bag and did not hide the admiration on his face.

No wonder Haotian trusts him so much, no wonder he can gain the recognition of Heaven.

With a great celestial being like him in heaven, perhaps one day he will really be able to rule the world!
Ao Guang was not too surprised by such a result, or rather, it was just one of his attempts.

Last time, Yang Xuan did not refuse his thank-you gift.

This means that giving gifts is okay, but the way you give gifts is important!

Ao Guang showed a smile on his face. After understanding Yang Xuan's personality and preferences, many things would be easier to do in the future.

Judging from the character Yang Xuan has shown so far, the Dragon Clan will definitely have to deal with him on many matters in the Heavenly Palace in the future. How can it make sense for them to ask for help with nothing every time?
Ao Guang has lived for countless eons, how could he not understand this?
Since he had already thought about the possible outcome of giving the gift, how could he not have a backup plan?

Ao Guang put away the storage bag, bowed to Yang Xuan, and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Black Lotus once used his Daluo cultivation to try to harm you."

"Some time ago, my dragon clan discovered the traces of that fellow in the West Sea. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we did not act rashly."

"But in order to prevent that guy from escaping, we arranged two Daluo to watch nearby. I wonder how the Great Heavenly Venerable plans to deal with that Black Lotus guy?"

"How to deal with it?"

As soon as Ao Guang finished speaking, Bi Xiao walked out from the crowd, took out the golden shears from his waist, and exuded murderous aura.

"Is there any need to ask what to do with it? Of course, I'll cut it into pieces and feed it to the fish!"

"Hei Lian is such a shameless thing. I only had the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal at that time, and he was a cultivator in the middle stage of a Daluo Golden Immortal. In order to deal with me, he deliberately set a trap."

"If such a person stays in the prehistoric world, he will be a disaster and waste the spiritual energy of the prehistoric world. Old man Ao Guang, where is the black lotus? Tell me quickly, or I will go down to the mortal world and chop him into pieces and feed him to the fish!"

Although Bixiao has a bad temper and is known as the devil of mischief, that's just because she loves to play. There aren't many things that really make her angry, and she rarely kills anyone.

But she was really angry about this matter.

If she hadn't arrived in time, Yang Xuan would have been seriously injured and might still be in seclusion recovering from his injuries.

Now that she has received many benefits from Yang Xuan, her relationship with Yang Xuan has become closer, and her hatred for Hei Lian has become stronger.

When she was in Wuyi Mountain, she planned to borrow the Haotian Mirror from Haotian after returning to Heaven to see if she could find Hei Lian.

Now that she knew the whereabouts of Black Lotus, she naturally could not suppress the murderous intent in her heart.

the other side.

After hearing this, Dayu's evil corpse narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his right hand, and a mountain-splitting axe appeared in his hand.

"Black Lotus wanted to destroy the Nine Provinces' veins and steal the destiny of the human race. I have a connection with him. If you need me, I can go to the West Sea!"

"Heh! Do you know where the black lotus comes from? If you really go to the West Sea, you will be causing trouble for the Great Celestial Venerable!"

Gui Che sneered and retorted to Dayu, but he had no intention of keeping the secret.

He happened to know something about the origin of Black Lotus.

"This Black Lotus has an extraordinary background. He was originally a demon general in the Heavenly Court of our demon race. At the end of the witch-demon calamity, he suddenly left the Heavenly Court of the demon race, and even a wisp of his true spirit was taken out of the demon-summoning banner."

"With Black Lotus's cultivation, he definitely cannot take the True Spirit out of the Demon Summoning Banner by himself. There must be someone behind the scenes helping him."

At this point, Gui Che paused slightly, his expression full of emotion.

The demon clan was so powerful back then, but ended up like this.

Nowadays, all living beings in the prehistoric world think that the Demon King is cruel and demands that all demons hand over a wisp of their true spirit and send it into the soul-summoning flag. From then on, they have no control over their life and death.

But in fact, it is not so. For a Daluo like Gui Che who is truly loyal to the demon clan and heaven, Emperor Jun had already returned that wisp of true spirit.

At the end of the witch-demon calamity, Emperor Jun knew that the Heavenly Court was doomed to be defeated, and he took the initiative to release all the true spirits in the demon-summoning banner, allowing these demon clans to leave on their own, thus allowing the demon clan to retain more vitality.

After some emotion, Guiche continued:

"Later, His Majesty the Demon King used the River Chart and Luo Shu to deduce, and just glanced at the west before letting the matter go."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he is very likely a hidden hand of the two Westerners."

"If we lose in a fight of the same level, it's fine. But if the quasi-saint bullies the weak, then those two from the West will have an excuse to attack!"

Hearing Gui Che's explanation, Dayu frowned slightly.

If the two from the West were involved, it would be difficult for him to take action. Even if Black Lotus plotted against the human race first, once he bullied the weak, given the style of the two from the West, they would probably take advantage of the situation and come to Jiuzhou to cause trouble for the human race.

Even Black Lotus's plot against the human race was most likely instructed by the two men in the West.

According to Xuan Niu and others, the reason they chose to help Hei Lian was because Hei Lian promised that as long as the Three Emperors of Huoyun Cave took action, Hei Lian would be able to use secret methods to steal the luck of the human race and allow them to improve their cultivation.

How can anyone master the method of stealing good fortune?

Moreover, stealing the luck of the human race is not something that anyone can do. Even a Daluo Jinxian must carefully consider how to bear the wrath of the human race in the future.

Originally, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Three Ancestors of the human race were puzzled by this and felt that there might be a key that they did not know about.

Thinking of this now, Dayu and the others looked at each other, and suddenly a look of realization appeared on their faces.

But if they were asked to let Hei Lian go just like that, how could they be willing?

Even if you have a saint backing you up, aren't you still the enemy of our human race?

If it weren't for Yang Xuan, which led to the success of Hei Lian's plan, it would be hard to determine whether the human race's luck would be stolen and how much would be stolen.

But what is certain is that if Black Lotus' plan succeeds, the land veins of Kyushu will be severely damaged.

The human race can only get a ruined Jiuzhou, and it will take a lot of time and energy to repair the earth veins.

In the worst case scenario, it might even cause the Nine Provinces’ spiritual energy to dissipate, making it unsuitable for cultivation.

Ultimately, a large number of human beings exhausted their lifespans and were unable to break through to the level of Earthly Immortals. The human race only had the status of a protagonist of heaven and earth, but its overall strength had been declining, and it could only rely on the three sub-saints for support.

wrong!

If this happens, it is hard to say whether the Three Emperors can become sub-sages!

The consequences of this are no less serious than the slaughter of the human race by the demons. Even though they knew that there was a saint behind the Black Lotus, Dayu and others found it difficult to swallow this anger.

"Why would His Majesty Emperor Yu personally take action against a mere defeated general?"

Just when everyone was still surprised by the origin of the black lotus, Yang Xuan's chuckle suddenly echoed in the meeting hall.

After learning that Black Lotus might be related to the two people in the West, Yang Xuan was also surprised. He didn't expect that this guy's background was so strong.

But when I thought about it again, I felt it made sense.

The method of stealing luck is rare and not everyone can possess it.

How could creatures who possess this kind of methods not know that the reason why the human race can carry on humanity is because of the push from the saints behind the scenes?

Since the calamity between witches and demons, except for the Xuanyuan period, when the witches once united with humans, gave birth to witches, intervened in human affairs, and wanted to steal the throne and occupy the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, which other great primitive tribe has come to Jiuzhou to make trouble for the human race?
The two in the West are also saints, so they don’t have so many concerns. As long as the benefits are high enough, they may do so.

As a time traveler, how could Yang Xuan not know how much those two people in the West envied the fortune of the East.

The future Journey to the West was not for the purpose of bringing the fortune of the ancient times to the west and prospering Buddhism.

Now it seems that the two people in the West may have started planning the destiny of the East long before the Conferred God Tribulation.

wrong!

To be precise, they started planning this since the Lich Calamity period!
Since they can incite Black Lotus to rebel and use it as a hidden chess piece, there will be a second and third Black Lotus.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the West seems to be sparsely populated. Perhaps there are a large number of Western hidden players in various places in this vast world.

"If you think about it this way, everything makes sense..."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, suddenly realizing.

In the past, he always wondered that no matter how poor the West was, those two people in the West were genuine saints.

As long as you become a disciple of the Western religion, you will be able to learn the top-notch skills and supreme methods. Not to mention the quasi-sainthood, it should be no problem for you to achieve Daluo.

Especially now that the population in the West is sluggish, if one were to become a disciple of the Western religion, one would surely be respected by the two saints.

By the same token, the Western religion is in decline. If a creature with decent qualifications came to Mount Sumeru and wanted to join the Western religion, how could the two saints turn them away?

No matter how barren the West is, its area is incomparable to that of Kyushu, and it can hardly produce many creatures with decent qualifications.

In addition, all living beings in the prehistoric world know that the two people in the West often go to various places in the prehistoric world to beg for money. How could they not find a few creatures they like?
From the perspective of a time traveler, there is also a very contradictory point. It is said in later generations that the two saints in the West like to force people to convert to their religion.

Since they are so shameless as to do such a thing, how can the Western Religion have such a low population? Even if it is not as good as the Jie Religion's ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage, I am afraid it is not much different.

Today, it seems that Western religions are only declining in population, but in fact, the two Western saints have long been planning for the future prosperity of the West.

I'm afraid that there are already a large number of disciples of the Western religion scattered all over the prehistoric world!
After the establishment of Buddhism, it was able to take root and flourish quickly in the prehistoric world. Perhaps this was the reason.

"Sure enough, everything a saint does has a deep meaning. There is no such thing as mediocrity. The shame of a saint? I'm afraid that's not accurate!"

Yang Xuan was filled with emotion and became more wary of the two Western saints. He thought that there might be spies of the Western religion in the Heavenly Court.

However, Yang Xuan had no intention of letting Hei Lian go just like that.

Hei Lian dared to plot against the Great Lord of Heaven, a third-rank god. It was only right and reasonable for Yang Xuan to make some statement after learning of his whereabouts. Otherwise, where would be the dignity of Heaven?
More importantly, this abnormal behavior is more likely to attract the attention of the two saints in the West.

But one thing is crucial, that is, the action against Black Lotus must be based on Heaven and must not contain any personal feelings.

After Yang Xuan pondered for a moment, he deliberately showed a look of disdain.

"No matter what the relationship between the Black Lotus and the West is, he was the one who provoked the Heavenly Court first."

"Since we already know his whereabouts, let him see the revenge of my Heavenly Court. He is just a seriously injured Daluo, and he can't cause any trouble. But my Heavenly Court is not without Daluo."

"Little brother, little brother, let me go, I will cut him into pieces and feed him to the fish!"

Bixiao jumped up immediately and volunteered.

"I am not afraid of those two from the West. If they dare to bully the weak, I will go to Master to complain!"

"Leave this matter to Lady Xuannv and the Dragon King. Third sister, you need to come with me. I need your help with something else."

Yang Xuan shook his head, then looked at Ao Guang and said with a smile:

"Please ask the Dragon King for help, and go to the West Sea with Lady Xuannv to bring Hei Lian back to heaven!"

"We will obey the order of the Great Celestial Lord. Our dragon clan will certainly support us and will never let Black Lotus escape!"

Ao Guang bowed. Although Hei Lian's identity was beyond his expectations, it was still within an acceptable range.

Originally, he sought out Black Lotus just to show his allegiance. From this perspective, the current result is actually better.

Anyway, he was not bullying the weak. Yang Xuan only asked him to bring back the Black Lotus. Even if the Black Lotus had any connection with the West, he didn't have to worry about revenge from the Two Saints of the West.

Moreover, the fact that the dragon clan has survived to this day does not mean they have no trump cards at all!
