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

Chapter 302 The Tragic Story of Daoist Zhunti

To prevent the other civil and military officials from being affected by the three sticks of incense, the Taoist Zhunti specially cast a calming spell on them to ensure that only Emperor Xin was trapped in the illusion.

Unfortunately, Di Xin has now changed the incense offerings, which has caught Zhunti Daoist off guard.

With Di Xin about to leave, if he didn't do something soon, he wouldn't be able to complete the task Hongjun had given him.

Left with no other choice, they could only use their divine powers on Di Xin, luring him into a dream.

At this moment, Emperor Xin was visiting the main hall of the Nuwa Temple. Suddenly, he felt a sense of disorientation.

Then, a gentle breeze lifted the light gauze curtain in front of the Nuwa statue, and the Nuwa statue, which was originally just a clay and wood sculpture, began to flaunt its beauty at this moment.

This made Di Xin instantly realize that something was wrong, and he hurriedly made his pupils dilate instantly so that he could see through all the illusions.

Sure enough, as Di Xin's pupils dilated, all the illusions before him vanished. There were no longer any flirtatious women; only the statue of Nuwa remained.

Logically, since Di Xin was not affected by the illusion, he shouldn't have done anything excessive. However, at this moment, Di Xin discovered that his hands and feet seemed to be somewhat out of his control.

He even pulled the Xuanyuan Sword out of its sheath and walked towards the pink wall of the main hall of the Nuwa Temple.

Then Di Xin was seen carving a poem directly on the whitewashed wall. Throughout the entire process, Di Xin was completely unable to control himself.

Even when Di Xin wanted to speak, he couldn't utter a single word. Therefore, no one noticed anything amiss with Di Xin at that moment.

But when they saw the poem that Di Xin had inscribed, everyone's expression changed instantly.

Especially the last sentence, "Reclaim Chang Le to serve the king," caused all the civil and military officials to hurriedly kneel before the statue of Nuwa.

They pleaded with the goddess Nuwa not to blame Emperor Xin, while others stepped forward to persuade him to erase the poems from the wall.

At this moment, Di Xin was in a state of utter misery. What he thought and what he said were completely different things.

What Di Xin thought to himself was that all of this was not what he wanted, but rather that he was being manipulated by others. However, he did not say it aloud.

His words were extremely forceful, claiming that he was praising the goddess Nuwa and had no intention of blasphemy whatsoever.

Furthermore, they absolutely forbade anyone from erasing the poems on the walls; otherwise, they would be treated as treason.

Others, of course, were unaware that Di Xin was controlled by the Daoist Zhunti using the methods of a sage. They still believed that all of this was Di Xin's doing.

At this moment, Yang Jian had already sensed the aura of Daoist Zhunti. He knew that this matter was beyond his control.

He immediately crushed the communication jade talisman in his hand and said to it, "The Sage has plotted against the Human Emperor. Please, my ancestral masters, lend your assistance."

As Yang Jian crushed the communication jade talisman, his voice echoed over Qinglian Island. This caused the Three Pure Ones and Fuxi and his sister to frown instantly.

Without hesitation, he tore through the void and vanished from his own dojo. When he reappeared, he was already above the Nuwa Temple.

The sage from Qinglian Island appeared above the Nuwa Temple without concealing his aura. A powerful sage's pressure instantly descended from mid-air.

This terrified the assembled civil and military officials, who thought it was Emperor Xin who had written a lewd poem that offended the goddess Nuwa.

Immediately, they all knelt and kowtowed, begging for the forgiveness of the Goddess Nuwa. Of course, some were secretly pleased, putting on a show of gratitude. Even Wen Zhong was on tenterhooks, as he, too, was unaware that this was not Di Xin's intention.

However, the most anxious person was not the civil and military officials, nor Wen Zhong, nor even Emperor Xin, but the Daoist Zhunti, who was hiding in the shadows.

"Damn it, the Sage of Qinglian Island has actually come!" Zhunti Daoist thought to himself, and immediately wanted to break through the void and escape.

But at this moment, Zhunti Daoist discovered that the space surrounding the Nuwa Temple had been sealed off. He had no chance to escape at all.

At this moment, Daoist Zhunti had no time to worry about Di Xin. This allowed Di Xin to finally control himself.

He then sneered and said, "Where did this evil spirit come from, daring to plot against me?"

At the same time, Yang Jian appeared before Di Xin and spoke to him.

"Your Majesty, a sage has plotted against you and, through Your Majesty's intervention, has written a lewd poem that blasphemes against the benefactor Nuwa."

"I have already informed all the Grandmasters immediately. Now that the Grandmasters have arrived, Your Majesty need not worry any further."

Yang Jian's voice resounded throughout the main hall of the Nuwa Temple, and everyone heard it clearly. For a moment, they could hardly believe their ears.

What kind of being is a sage? They are beings who control the rules. How could they not be shocked that someone would actually scheme against Emperor Xin?

Just as they were wondering if Yang Jian was trying to exonerate Emperor Xin, Nuwa appeared in the Nuwa Temple.

And then, looking at the Daoist Zhunti hiding in the shadows, he sneered and said, "Daoist Zhunti, you schemed against the Human Emperor, so the Western Sect will have to bear the consequences."

"And you used the Human Emperor to seduce me. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for sending you back to the Heavenly Dao to be reborn."

No sooner had Nuwa finished speaking than the Three Pure Ones and Fuxi appeared simultaneously in Nuwa's temple, surrounding the Daoist Zhunti who had been hiding in the shadows.

Tongtian went even further and said, "Junior Sister Nuwa, this is not the first time that Daoist Zhunti has returned to the Heavenly Dao to be reborn."

"For him, it's become commonplace. So, Junior Sister Nuwa needs to think of a better way to make him pay the price."

At this moment, Zhunti Daoist knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. Naturally, there was no need to hide in the dark, so he immediately revealed his form.

Suddenly, six sages descended, which terrified all the civil and military officials. Even Emperor Xin was somewhat incredulous.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. After all, with so many sages supporting him, what did he have to fear?

He immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Emperor Xin of the Human Race greets the Holy Mother, greets the Heavenly Emperor, and thanks the Three Pure Ones."

Following Emperor Xin, all the civil and military officials also paid their respects to the sage. Then their gazes turned to the Daoist Zhunti, who was surrounded in the center.

Nuwa waved her hand, helping everyone to their feet, and said, "Please wait outside for now. I have something to tell you later."

Emperor Xin acknowledged the order and led his civil and military officials away from the main hall of the Nuwa Temple.
