Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 295 Happiness Came Too Suddenly
After all, if the battle between Yang Jian and Yuan Futong continues, the outcome will inevitably be a crushing defeat for Yuan Futong. And once Yuan Futong is defeated, he will lose his life.

Now that Yang Jian had made a bet with him, it was tantamount to giving him a chance to get away unscathed. Yuan Futong naturally couldn't refuse.

So he immediately put away his Iron Will Sword and looked directly at Yang Jian, saying, "How do you want to gamble? If you just want to play tricks on me, you'd better give up that idea."

Yang Jian shook his head. "It is said that the Six-Eared Macaque is good at listening, can discern reason, know the past and the future, and understand all things. When the Dao was being preached at Zixiao Palace, he used his innate supernatural power to eavesdrop on the Dao. In the end, he was punished and the Dao was not to be passed on to the Six-Eared Macaque."

"Today, I, Yang Jian, will make a bet with you: who will ultimately emerge victorious in this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods?"

Hearing Yang Jian reveal his secrets, Yuan Futong was already incredibly shocked. Now, hearing that Yang Jian wanted to gamble with him on the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, he was even more incredulous.

He snorted coldly and said, "The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has not yet begun, and even if it does, it is unknown how long it will take."

"Even if we gamble now, how can we determine a winner? Are we supposed to keep fighting until the Great Tribulation of the Gods ends?"

Yang Jian smiled and shook his head, "The outcome of the battle will naturally only be known when the Investiture of the Gods ends."

“But we don’t need to keep fighting forever, after all, I don’t have time to stay here with you. So you need to go to Qinglian Island before the Great Tribulation of Gods ends.”

Upon hearing that Yang Jian wanted him to go to Qinglian Island, Yuan Futong's first thought was that Yang Jian was playing a trick on him.

After all, if she went to Qinglian Island, it would be the same as becoming Yang Jian's prisoner. At that time, he could kill her or kill her at will.

But on second thought, it seemed unnecessary for Yang Jian to do that. With Yang Jian's own strength, he could kill him right now beneath the walls of Beihai City.

Moreover, besides Yang Jian, there is also Jade Cauldron Immortal. He is someone even Bai Ze and the others are no match for.

At this moment, Yuan Futong dared not use his innate divine power. After all, he was someone who had been cursed by Hongjun, so he had to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, Yuan Futong would definitely have discovered it. Not far away, two monkeys of the same lineage as him were watching the spectacle.

Having figured out the key point, Yuan Futong asked Yang Jian, "If I lose, what do you want me to do?"

Before Yang Jian could speak, Master Yu Ding had already arrived and spoke directly to Yuan Futong.

"Be yourself, be the real Six-Eared Macaque. No longer dare to live openly and honestly in this primordial world because the Dharma is not passed on to six ears."

Upon hearing these words from Master Yuding, Yuan Futong was startled. He thought to himself, "This isn't punishment at all; it's the greatest salvation I could ever hope for."

Now he is under the control of the demon race, but he can only hide his identity. He dares not walk in the prehistoric world with his true identity.

At this point, Yuan Futong was practically ready to concede defeat. After all, losing seemed to be more beneficial to him than winning.

But this was something Yuan Futong couldn't understand. After all, the Taoist sect was doing this so that he could reap all the benefits. What were they after?

Could it be that the Daoist sect wants to recruit me? There are countless people in the primordial world who want to join the Daoist sect, but with my background, it seems I don't have the qualifications.

Yuan Futong's confusion was naturally noticed by Yang Jian and Jade Cauldron Immortal. Yang Jian then spoke directly to Yuan Futong.

“I bet that the supreme ruler of humanity, King Di Xin of Shang, will be the ultimate victor. If you have no objections, then let us swear this oath by striking hands.”

As he spoke, Yang Jian raised his left hand. Yuan Futong didn't hesitate either; even though he was still puzzled, he raised his right hand and said, "Since you've chosen King Di Xin of Shang, then naturally I can only choose his opponent." After saying this, he gave Yang Jian a high five.

Yang Jian then said directly, "You two have been watching for ages, why don't you get over here right now?"

Yang Jian, the senior disciple, held absolute authority in front of Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong. He was even three points stronger than Yu Ding Zhenren.

After all, Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong's skills were almost entirely taught by Yang Jian himself. Yu Ding Zhenren merely provided guidance from the sidelines.

So when they heard Yang Jian ask them to come over, Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong went to Yang Jian without hesitation.

He first bowed to his master, Jade Cauldron Immortal, then bowed to Yang Jian to pay respects to his eldest brother. Finally, he walked directly towards Yuan Futong.

Although neither Wuzhiqi nor Yuan Hong are currently in their original forms, they are appearing before Yuan Futong in the form of innate Dao bodies.

However, Yuan Futong immediately sensed the same aura emanating from Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong as he did.

This caused Yuan Futong to frown instantly, "You..."

Before Yuan Futong could finish speaking, Yuan Hong interrupted, saying, "You're not mistaken, Second Senior Brother is the Red-Bottomed Macaque, and I am the Long-Armed Ape."

“You are the Six-Eared Macaque, so you can naturally sense our presence. Once the Spirit Stone Monkey takes human form, we four spirit monkeys will be complete.”

As soon as Yuan Hong said this, Yuan Futong instantly understood. He realized that the reason he had gained the favor of the Taoist sect was truly because of his background.

At this moment, Yang Jian spoke up, "You two take him back to Qinglian Island. You can talk about what you have to say when you get back."

Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong nodded in agreement, then each took Yuan Futong by the left and right, heading directly towards Qinglian Island in the East China Sea.

At the same time, Yu Ding Zhenren, who was beside Yang Jian, also spoke up, "There is nothing more for me to do here. It is time for me to return to Qinglian Island."

"This was brought to Your Majesty by my master. Now Your Majesty is worthy to receive this generous gift from your master."

After speaking, Jade Cauldron Immortal handed it to Yang Jian, instructing Yang Jian to pass it on to Emperor Xin on his behalf.

Yang Jian accepted the gift and nodded, then respectfully escorted Jade Cauldron Immortal back to Green Lotus Island. As for Yang Jian, he naturally stayed by Emperor Xin's side.

After all, Yang Jian was one of the three vanguard officers that Chen Xuan had arranged for Emperor Xin, so it was impossible for him to go back to Qinglian Island with Yu Ding Zhenren.

After seeing off Jade Cauldron Immortal, Yang Jian headed directly towards Beihai City and appeared beside Emperor Xin.

Meanwhile, Di Xin had already changed out of his blood-stained royal robes and was dealing with the post-war affairs of Beihai City.

Upon seeing Yang Jian's sudden appearance, he immediately stood up to greet him and said, "General Zhenguo deserves immense credit for our capture of Beihai City this time."

Yang Jian bowed to Emperor Xin and then said, "As a subject, it is my duty to fight for Your Majesty. I dare not claim credit for it."
