Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1226 Intimidation

Haotian had never met Dong Wanggong before. Fenghuang and Longji had seen an obsession belonging to Dong Wanggong in Yingzhou before. Afterwards, Longji told his parents what happened. Haotian remembered it very clearly. He also commented on Dong Wanggong's past for being mediocre and incompetent, which led to his missed opportunities and eventual death.

He pondered the many key points his daughter had told him and made his own judgment based on his own memory.

Although his Haotian Mirror was not bestowed by the Taoist Ancestor, it was refined under the Taoist Ancestor's guidance. It can be regarded as a top-level acquired spiritual treasure. After looking at it twice, he did not find any traces of transformation magic, and many of its characteristics were completely consistent.

Was he not dead, or was he resurrected? Where did this lively and energetic Dong Wanggong come from?

As a standard quasi-saint of the ancient times, Haotian would count with his fingers as soon as he had doubts in his mind. Now was not the Battle of the Gods, and the mysteries of heaven were relatively clear at the level of a quasi-saint. He quickly figured out that this matter was related to the witch clan, and the connection was not shallow. He couldn't help but cast a glance towards the underworld.

Facing Haotian's inquiring gaze, Empress Pingxin felt a little wronged, but she couldn't say that she was wronged.

This was indeed done by Rushou. Rushou had good intentions and there was nothing wrong with his planning. If Dong Wanggong had jumped out and stabbed Di Jun in the back at the critical moment of the war between the Lich and the Wizard, Di Jun would not have been able to withstand it no matter how capable he was.

If that scene happened, the Witch Clan would truly win and become the sole overlord of the prehistoric world.

Unfortunately, the resurrection time of this Dong Wanggong is a little bit late. Now, let alone the war between the Lich and the Demon, even the war of the gods is over. You just came back to life?

Empress Pingxin had no way to explain this matter and could only respond with silence.

Is this really the work of the Wu Clan? Haotian couldn't understand why. It was perfectly reasonable for the Wu Clan to resurrect Emperor Jiang, but why did you resurrect Dong Wanggong?

He wanted Taibai Jinxing to trick people away, but Dong Wanggong came with bad intentions and he didn't want to see this person. After thinking for a while, Haotian found that Taibai Jinxing was not in heaven at all, which was a problem.

Haotian wanted to figure out the whereabouts of Taibai Jinxing again. He was worried that there was a conspiracy against him.

This directly touched Deng Chanyu, who was on Venus. Who dares to plot against me? Without thinking, she directly took action to obscure the secret related to herself.

If Deng Chanyu uses all her methods, she will no longer be afraid of Haotian in terms of hard power. This is also the key reason why Fenghuang dares to seize the throne of Emperor Ziwei. She is not afraid of hard power, let alone soft power. She carries the saint-level Hongmeng purple energy. It is wishful thinking for Haotian to want to count her out.

Seeing the gray mist in front of him, Haotian knew that there was a powerful person who was obscuring the secrets of heaven. He tried to break a gap, but the opponent also increased his strength in time. The two sides fought back and forth, and in less than three moves, Haotian fell into a disadvantage. He could calculate the whereabouts of Taibai Jinxing before, but now he can't calculate it at all.

Who is hiding the secrets of heaven? Is it Zhen Yuanzi, Duo Bao, or even the Styx?

He racked his brains but couldn't come up with an answer.

Haotian had told fortunes twice, which had already wasted quite a bit of time. The King of the East was still waiting outside the South Gate of Heaven. If he avoided him since he had come alone, it would seem that he was guilty.

He could only command Lao Sha beside him.

Lao Sha declined Fenghuang's invitation. Haotian wanted to reward him for his merit and let him return to the position of General Curtain Roller. There were no idle people around at the moment, so it was you who went for a trip.

"General Juanlian, go and pass the word. Open the Heavenly Gate and invite Daoist Dong Wanggong into the Heavenly Palace. I will personally host a banquet in the Golden Chapter Hall."

"The minister obeys the order."

Haotian's governance of the Three Realms was a mess; relationships between ruler and subject, and even family relationships, were far from perfect. The only thing he could boast of was his impressive facade. The South Heavenly Gate was wide open, a road paved with golden lotuses. Jade trees lined the road, lush and tall, each meticulously cultivated. A host of valiant and high-spirited celestial soldiers stood on either side, their helmets gleaming and their weapons sharp, making them look like top-tier elite troops.

The fairies played a piece of music called Jiu Zhao, which was a piece of music from the time of Emperor Shun and was known as the Song of Nine Virtues. In the past, when Emperor Shun played Jiu Zhao, hundreds of birds sang together, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.

I don’t know what Haotian was thinking. Maybe he thought of someone because of the singing of hundreds of birds. Anyway, the music that the fairies, big and small, have been rehearsing recently all consists of nine moves.

At this time, take it out to welcome the King of the East.

Dong Wanggong had a blank expression on his face, oblivious to everything around him, and just followed Lao Sha into the Heavenly Palace.

They soon arrived at the Jinzhang Hall where Haotian was holding a banquet.

Haotian believes that he is the supreme being of the three realms, while Dong Wanggong is in extreme poverty.

The identities of the two parties were completely unequal. He was proud of his status and did not lower himself to greet him, but stood in the hall waiting.

He had seen Dong Wanggong when he was listening to the sermon in Zixiao Palace. At that time, Dong Wanggong was sitting behind Taiqing Saint. He was the first ray of vital energy in the prehistoric times and a powerful man in the prehistoric times. He could only stand by and serve.

Now Haotian wouldn't think so. What era's old almanac is still being brought up to make a fuss?
You came all the way to see me, and I hosted a banquet to entertain you, which has already given you enough face. I am the king, and you are not even a subject, at most a citizen. It is not too much for you to pay your respects first, right?
But something went wrong.

In Dong Wanggong's impression, Haotian was just a boy who served tea and water beside the Taoist Ancestor. After his death, there was no one in the Heavenly Court, so the Taoist Ancestor promoted him to manage the prehistoric world on his behalf.

The two sides' perceptions are too different.

The two did not take their seats, but just stood in the hall. No one spoke, and no one took a step inside.

Lao Sha stood there, bewildered, his head buzzing. He should have been helping the emperor, but his influence was insignificant, so what could he do? Sweat streamed down his cheeks and down his beard.

The hall was quiet for more than ten breaths, and suddenly, the King of the East smiled.

He reached out and took out a dragon-headed cane: "Your Majesty, do you recognize this?"

Haotian gritted his teeth and said in a very cold voice: "Of course I recognize it."

There was a hint of contempt in the eyes of the Duke of Dong: "Since Your Majesty recognizes you, why don't you bow?"

He also deliberately emphasized the word "Your Majesty".

Haotian stared at him intently. Dong Wanggong raised his dragon-headed cane without wavering, and said softly, "Bow."

Hongjun has three dragon-headed canes, one of which he gave to Taiqing, which is the origin of the saying "Nine dragons are bestowed upon Taishang today, and he will forever rule the Xuanmen." (Chapter 207)
One was given to Yuanshi Tianzun, who disliked such old things as not fitting his temperament at all, so he later gave it to Taiyuan Shengmu. (Chapter 1155)
The third dragon-headed cane was given to the King of the East, allowing him to command all the male immortals in the world.

At this time, Dong Wanggong took out the dragon-headed cane and threatened Haotian, saying, "Don't you respect me? Look at this cane. It was given to me by the Taoist Ancestor himself. Don't you respect the Taoist Ancestor either?"
