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

Chapter 303 Where Should We Go From Here?
After Emperor Xin led his ministers out of the main hall, only the six sages and the Daoist Zhunti remained in the Nuwa Temple. The air seemed to freeze, and even the sound of the wind stopped.

The Daoist Zhunti's expression shifted between light and shadow, and he forced a smile, saying, "Fellow Daoists, why must you be like this? I am merely acting in accordance with the Way of Heaven."

Nuwa let out a cold shout, waved her delicate hand, and sent the red embroidered ball flying directly towards Daoist Zhunti. At the same time, she couldn't help but rebuke him.

"You secretly manipulated the Human Emperor, desecrated my divine statue, and dare to presume to claim the Heavenly Dao? Do you really think you can replace the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhunti Daoist hurriedly used the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand to block the red embroidered ball, while at the same time he began to think about how to leave this place of trouble.

Let alone the fact that five of the six from Qinglian Island came, even if it were any one of them, Zhunti Daoist would be completely crushed.

Now that he's facing five sages directly, it would be truly foolish for Daoist Zhunti not to run. Unfortunately, the space is now imprisoned, making escape far from easy.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun had already seen through Zhunti Daoist's thoughts. He then coldly snorted and said...

“Master Zhunti, you have repeatedly stirred up trouble. If you do not give an explanation today, do not blame us for being impolite.”

Seeing the situation was turning against him, Daoist Zhunti gritted his teeth and said, "Please wait, everyone! This matter is indeed my fault, but it is also in accordance with the will of Heaven."

Nuwa wasn't about to listen to Zhunti's nonsense any longer. She immediately raised the red embroidered ball again, aiming it at Zhunti's chest.

At the same time, the Three Pure Ones also made their move simultaneously. In mid-air, the Panlong Flat Staff, the Three Treasures Ruyi, and the Qingping Sword all emitted bursts of light, heading towards Daoist Zhunti.

Fuxi then raised the Map of Mountains and Rivers and directly enveloped Zhunti Daoist, intending to imprison him within it.

Now that things had come to this, Daoist Zhunti had no other choice but to steel his heart and grit his teeth, preparing to self-destruct his physical body in exchange for a sliver of hope for his survival.

Then, boundless power emanated from the entire body of Daoist Zhunti. A relic even emerged from the top of Daoist Zhunti's head.

The next moment, the body of the Daoist Zhunti instantly self-destructed. The power generated by the self-destruction of the saint's body razed the entire Nuwa Temple to the ground in an instant.

Meanwhile, the relic of the Daoist Zhunti, taking advantage of the moment when his physical body exploded, fled directly towards Mount Sumeru in the west.

Seeing her temple reduced to rubble, Nuwa was instantly enraged and coldly snorted, "My fellow disciples, we must not let him escape back to the West!"

As soon as Nuwa finished speaking, the five sages instantly tore through the void and gave chase. Even if Daoist Zhunti only had one relic left, they would still shatter it.

Even if Zhunti Daoist's relics are shattered, he can still be reborn in the Heavenly Dao.

However, compared to letting his relics escape back to Mount Sumeru in the West, allowing him to be reborn in the Heavenly Realm would be the greatest punishment.

At this point, Emperor Xin had already led his civil and military officials out of the Nuwa Temple. Even so, the residual power of the sage's self-destruction was enough to reduce them to dust.

Fortunately, thanks to Fuxi's Map of Mountains and Rivers, the power generated by Zhunti Daoist's self-destruction was contained within the Nuwa Temple.

Otherwise, Emperor Xin and all the officials in the court would likely have been directly added to the Investiture of the Gods list by the self-destruction of the Daoist Zhunti's body.

Even so, Emperor Xin and his court officials were still deeply shocked. They were unable to recover for a long time.

After calming his shock, Emperor Xin immediately ordered the imperial carriage to return to the palace. At the same time, he also ordered the reconstruction of the Nuwa Temple and made public the deeds of the Daoist Zhunti.

On the way back, Emperor Xin frowned and whispered to Yang Jian beside him, "Minister Yang, it seems there is an even bigger conspiracy behind this." Yang Jian nodded, "Your Majesty is wise. Daoist Zhunti must be behind this. This matter is probably related to the Investiture of the Gods."

After sighing, Di Xin said, "Fortunately, I have many sages as my backers. Otherwise, how could I, a mere mortal, have survived such a great calamity?"

After hearing this, Yang Jian said, "Your Majesty need not worry about this matter. After this incident, the Heavenly Sage should no longer dare to easily attack Your Majesty."

Even so, Di Xin still harbored some worries. He also realized that his strength was far too low, and only by rapidly increasing his power could he be qualified to face all of this.

……

After Di Xin returned to Chaoge City, news of what had happened at the Nuwa Temple spread throughout the city and quickly began to spread outwards.

Meanwhile, in Chaoge City, at Du Yuanxian's residence, Du Yuanxian was filled with worry, as today's events had deeply affected him.

I originally thought that the Chan Sect had a sage as its backer. If he could get close to the Chan Sect, he would surely be listed on the Investiture of the Gods in the future.

Now I see that the five saints of Qinglian Island have actually taken action for Di Xin. This inevitably makes Du Yuanxian begin to doubt whether his choice was correct.

Just as Du Yuanxian was filled with worry, the butler hurriedly returned and whispered, "Master, the matter has been settled, and the evidence has been sent out."

Upon hearing the butler's words, Du Yuanxian couldn't help but sigh. He then dismissed the butler and muttered to himself.

"Now that things have come to this, I have no way out. Even if I can't achieve a higher status in the future, at least my soul can be listed on the Investiture of the Gods."

"As long as I can become a famous person on the Investiture of the Gods, I can be free from the suffering of reincarnation and enjoy endless life."

"As for whether or not I will be left with a bad reputation, it is nothing compared to not being able to reincarnate."

At this moment, Du Yuanxian had made up his mind completely, and a cunning glint appeared in his eyes. He had completely turned to the dark side.

Where did Du Yuanxian send the evidence of Queen Jiang's crimes? Certainly not to some nobody. It was to the Grand Prince's uncle, Bi Gan.

However, what he didn't know was that after obtaining the evidence, Bigan didn't act immediately. Instead, he frowned and said, "This evidence is suspicious. I'm afraid someone wants to use me to deal with the Queen."

Sensing something amiss, Bi Gan immediately took the evidence to see Shang Rong.

Meanwhile, in the Shouxian Palace, after listening to Gunjuan's report, Daji did not show any smile, but rather a hint of worry.

After all, she had witnessed what happened today, and she couldn't help but feel resentful that the Five Saints of Qinglian Island had helped Emperor Xin resolve the crisis.

Suddenly, Daji turned her head and looked towards the Nuwa Temple, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. "The struggle between sages is probably not something I can participate in. I should reconsider what to do next."

At this moment, Daji remembered a sister from her clan. This sister was none other than Tushan Nujiao, the wife of Yu the Great.

At that moment, blood rained down from the sky, accompanied by mournful cries.

Daji knew that a sage had fallen, and the primordial world was mourning for him.
