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

Chapter 334 Di Xin's Two Unlucky Sons
Daji nodded after hearing this, and then said to Di Xin, "Your Majesty, I know what to do."

Then she turned around, bowed to Chen Xuan, and said, "Grandmaster, is there any way to temporarily seal away the souls of Pipa and the others?"

Chen Xuan knew what Daji was up to: if the nine-headed pheasant spirit and the thousand-year-old pipa spirit still believed that the Chan Sect was their true home, Daji would seal their souls away.

After the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods ends, their physical bodies will be reconstructed. This will prevent them from suffering the fate of having their souls scattered due to their wrong choices.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction at the extent to which Daji went to such lengths for her sisters.

"To be able to think so much about one's sisters, you truly deserve to be a disciple of the Qinglian lineage. Today, I, your grandmaster, will spare their lives so that they do not become pawns of the Chan Sect."

Then Chen Xuan had Daji extend her hand, and then drew a talisman on Daji's hand.

"This talisman in your hand can open a spatial gate for you. This spatial gate leads directly to Azure Lotus Island."

"If the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit and the Thousand-Year-Old Pipa Spirit remain stubborn, then send them to Green Lotus Island through this spatial gate."

"Grandmaster, I will instruct the Queen Mother of the West to seal the two of them in West Kunlun. After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods ends, you will release them personally."

Upon hearing this, Daji was overjoyed and immediately bowed to Chen Xuan again to express her gratitude. A smile that she could not hide appeared on her face.

Seeing Daji smile, Chen Xuan couldn't help but think to himself, "Daji when she's smiling isn't as pretty as when she's angry."

"No wonder people say, 'The ruthless Daji, the smiling Baosi, the sick Xishi, and the drunken Yang Guifei.' So this is what they mean by each having their own merits."

Just as Chen Xuan was lost in thought, someone came to report that Jiang Ziya had been brought to the outside of the Nine-Room Hall. The civil and military officials were already waiting there.

Then Di Xin led everyone directly towards the outside of the Nine-Room Palace. At the same time, Chen Xuan's appearance had also changed, and he had become the low-ranking official Chen Xuan.

Before long, Di Xin and his entourage arrived outside the Nine-Room Palace. They saw an old Taoist priest with a full head of white hair, holding a beautiful young girl in his hand.

Di Xin immediately put on his theatrical persona, glaring angrily at Jiang Ziya and saying in a cold voice, "You old Taoist, why did you forcibly grab a woman's hand? Could it be that you were lustful and intended to do something improper?"

Jiang Ziya did not let go, but bowed to Emperor Xin and said, "Your Majesty, I absolutely cannot let go. Otherwise, this monster will turn into the wind and escape."

Di Xin snorted coldly and said, "She is clearly a beautiful young woman, but you have turned her into a man-eating demon. If you cannot make me see her true form today, don't blame me for making you reveal your true form."

Then Di Xin directly ordered the archers to prepare, and if Jiang Ziya could not prove that the woman he was holding was a demon, they should shoot arrows at Jiang Ziya directly.

Jiang Ziya never dreamed that Di Xin would act in this way. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He immediately took out talismans and affixed them to the woman's upper, middle, and lower dantian points. Then he ordered his men to carry her onto the bonfire that had been prepared beforehand.

He then ordered his men to set the place on fire, and in no time, a raging inferno engulfed the woman. But even after the fire was extinguished, the woman remained in her original form.

At this moment, a smile couldn't help but appear on Jiang Ziya's face. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a gust of evil wind rush towards him.

The worst part was that he tried to dodge, but it was too late. In the end, he was shot directly in the buttocks with an arrow.

Feeling a burning pain in his buttocks, Jiang Ziya's face darkened. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have already confirmed that the woman is a demon. Why did you still shoot arrows at me?"

Di Xin immediately turned around and looked in the direction the arrow had been fired. He discovered that the one who fired the arrow was none other than his eldest son, Yin Jiao.

Standing beside Yin Jiao was none other than Chen Xuan, disguised as a physician. He was looking at Yin Jiao with a faint smile.

Now Di Xin finally understood why Jiang Ziya had been shot with an arrow.

Even so, Di Xin still asked Yin Jiao, "Yin Jiao, why did you shoot this Taoist priest with an arrow for no reason?"

Yin Jiao, his face full of indignation, stepped forward and said, "Father, didn't you say that since the old Taoist priest couldn't prove that the woman was a demon, he should just shoot an arrow at him?"

"Now that the fire is out, the woman is still a woman. How could she have become a demon? Since she is not a demon, I will naturally shoot her with an arrow."

Upon hearing that the person who shot him was none other than the Crown Prince Yin Jiao, Jiang Ziya was filled with immense bitterness. If it had been anyone else, Jiang Ziya might have sought to have Di Xin punish him, thus avenging himself.

Now that the person who shot him was none other than His Highness Prince Yin Jiao, his arrow was essentially wasted. He could only speak with a bitter expression.

"Your Highness, if this woman were a mortal, how could she have survived such a raging fire unharmed? Isn't this enough to prove that she is a demon, not a human?"

Yin Jiao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, then went directly to Jiang Ziya's side and pulled the arrow out of his buttocks.

"I apologize, Daoist Master. It was I who failed to understand the implications. I will withdraw this arrow."

After saying this, she returned to Chen Xuan's side. Jiang Ziya was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of Di Xin.

He could only say to Di Xin, "Your Majesty, it has now been proven that I was not lustful. Shouldn't you let me leave?"

Before Di Xin could speak, Yin Hong, who was standing next to Yin Jiao, stepped forward and said directly to Di Xin, "Father, I have something to say."

Di Xin nodded, then called Yin Hong over and asked him, "What do you want to say? Don't you also think that woman is a demon?"

Yin Hong nodded, then said to Di Xin, "Your subject has heard that there are many magical treasures that can ward off fire."

"Some talismans drawn by highly skilled practitioners can even ward off fire, allowing people to walk through flames without getting hurt."

"That Taoist priest just now stuck so many talismans on that woman. Who knows if any of them were fire-resistant?"

Before Yin Hong could finish speaking, and before Jiang Ziya could even offer a rebuttal, he felt another sharp pain in his buttocks.

They discovered that the arrow that Yin Jiao had just pulled out had been reinserted by Yin Hong.

At the same time, Yin Hong added, "Therefore, the arrow shot by the eldest brother cannot be removed yet. This is because the Taoist priest cannot prove that the woman is a demon."
