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

Chapter 306 This is Daji's Choice
The sudden appearance of this voice caused Daji to frown. However, she did not respond, because she had no choice at all.

Even if she used this drop of her life essence blood, it would destroy thousands of years of her cultivation. The Nine-Tailed Fox would also become a Six-Tailed Fox or a Seven-Tailed Fox, or even less.

But Daji had no choice, because this was her only chance. And apart from using her own life essence, she had no other way to save Shang Rong.

As Daji forced out a drop of her vital essence, Shang Rong's wounds healed at a visible speed, and he slowly regained his breath.

This caused Daji to be unable to hold on any longer, and she was even in danger of revealing her true form at any moment. This made Daji somewhat anxious, and she hurriedly whispered to Gunjuan beside her.

"Get me out of here immediately. I can't reveal my true form in front of them. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."

Gunjuan naturally knew the importance and urgency of the matter, and immediately channeled her magic power into Daji's body.

At the same time, she added, "Your Majesty has damaged your own vital essence in order to save Uncle Bi Gan and the old prime minister. You urgently need a secluded room to heal your wounds."

As soon as Gunjuan finished speaking, someone stepped forward and led them to a room to receive temporary treatment.

Meanwhile, Bi Gan and Shang Rong slowly sat up. They exchanged a glance, their faces full of helplessness.

Finally, Bigan went straight to the point and said, "The fact that the old prime minister and I have been resurrected must be kept strictly confidential. We should announce to the outside world that we are already dead."

Everyone present simultaneously nodded in agreement. And quite consciously, they all returned to their rooms and locked them.

Only if they did not leave Bigan's palace could they avoid the possibility of leaking secrets.

Bigan didn't say anything about this, but simply looked at the room Daji had entered. Then, he helped Shang Rong to her feet and they returned to his study together.

Meanwhile, Daji had already swallowed several pills, barely managing to stabilize her human form, but her five fox tails were now showing.

Looking at her five tails, Daji couldn't help but sigh and say, "Thank goodness, I thought it would turn into three or four tails."

Compared to Daji's optimism, Gunjuan was already in tears. But for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Just then, Yang Jian suddenly appeared in front of Daji and looked at her, saying something.

"As a disciple of the Chan Sect, you risked destroying your own cultivation to save two loyal ministers of the Shang Dynasty. Aren't you afraid that if the Chan Sect finds out about this, they will wipe you out?"

Yang Jian's sudden appearance immediately put Gun Juan on guard. However, Daji was not shocked at all, because this voice was the same one that had just been heard in her ear.

So he spoke directly to Yang Jian, saying, "Since you know my identity, you must not be an ordinary human cultivator. Could it be that you were the one who injured Uncle Bi Gan and the old prime minister?"

It's no wonder Daji thought that way, since she could sense a powerful aura emanating from Yang Jian that was far stronger than her own.

Logically speaking, with someone like that by Bi Gan and Shang Rong's side, no one could easily harm them, let alone take their lives.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: that Yang Jian was the one who killed the two of them. There is absolutely no other possibility.

Yang Jian simply smiled and said, "The daggers in their chests were indeed inserted by me."

"Unfortunately, because of you, my plan couldn't be completed smoothly. So shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Daji looked at Yang Jian and sneered, "Even in my prime, I was no match for you. What's more, now my cultivation is almost completely destroyed." "However, I must also give you a piece of advice: making enemies of the human race and the Great King will cost you dearly sooner or later."

As she spoke, Daji suddenly attempted to end her own life to avoid being humiliated by Yang Jian.

After all, Daji now considers Yang Jian an enemy. And a formidable one at that, one against whom she has no power to resist.

Just as Daji was about to end her own life, Di Xin's voice came directly from outside the door.

"Your actions have indeed taken me by surprise. Therefore, I will protect your family members in Xuanyuan Tomb."

As she spoke, Di Xin pushed open the door and walked in. This immediately filled Daji with worry, and she rushed towards Yang Jian.

At the same time, he didn't forget to say to Di Xin, "Your Majesty, run! He is a member of the Chan Sect. He is the one who killed Uncle Bigan and the old prime minister."

Yang Jian never dreamed that Daji would do such a thing. He immediately stepped back, dodging Daji's attack.

Unable to attack Yang Jian, Daji stood directly in front of Di Xin, intending to protect him with her own body.

This inevitably moved Di Xin, and even Shang Qingjun, who was by Di Xin's side, spoke up.

"Your Majesty, based on what Daji just did, I accept this younger sister, Qingjun."

Di Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "Although she did this for her family, it is enough for me to treat her well."

"Minister Yang, do you know if Qinglian Island has any secret methods that can make Daji grow nine tails again?"

Hearing the conversation between Di Xin and Shang Qingjun, Daji was already somewhat at a loss. Now, hearing Di Xin address Yang Jian as "Yang Aiqing" (a respectful term for Yang Jian), she was even more astonished.

At this moment, Shang Qingjun walked over and helped Daji sit back down. He then spoke with a smile.

"He is not a disciple of the Chan Sect, but the chief disciple of the Taoist Master Yu Ding, and the Taoist protector Yang Jian."

Upon hearing the name Yang Jian, Daji couldn't help but ask, "Are you Yang Erlang from Guanjiang Estuary, the son of Fairy Yaoji and Yang Tianyou?"

Yang Jian nodded. "That's right, I am Yang Erlang from Guanjiang Estuary."

As he spoke, Yang Jian took out a yellow plum and presented it to Daji.

"This is the top-grade innate spiritual fruit, the Yellow Plum. If you consume it, you will regain your nine tails. As for the two drops of your life essence blood that you lost, you will have to cultivate them back on your own."

Daji could not possibly have been unaware of Huang Zhongli's renowned name. Therefore, when she reached out to take it, her hand trembled slightly.

After all, for ordinary demons, obtaining a single Huangzhong plum is equivalent to possessing the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

So even though Daji already had the yellow plum in her hand, she still asked Yang Jian to confirm, "Is this really for me?"

Di Xin said, "Eat it now. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly from now on, I will bestow upon you the title you desire and make you a true nine-tailed celestial fox."
