Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 298

This was a piece of cake for Tongtian, and he readily agreed: "It's a small matter. Just have him come to me in a few days."

"By the way, have you been paying attention to human affairs?" Hongyun had been there for quite a while before remembering the important matter.

Tongtian nodded: "Your disciples are indeed worthy of being human; they have all shone brightly in just a few years."

Hongyun: "That's because you're not used to scheming and plotting. I was thinking that once the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit gains Ji Chang's trust, I'll have Ji Chang send Xiqi troops to the west. Whether it's to attack or to ask for help, we'll find a way to make the west suffer."

Tongtian still disagreed with this approach: "When the Investiture of the Gods calamity is about to end, let my disciples from the Jie Sect directly attack Mount Sumeru and kill one or two hundred of the Western Sect members. That should be enough numbers."

Hongyun shook her head.

"What, Hongyun, do you think my Jie Sect disciples don't have the ability?" Tongtian laughed.

Hongyun: "How could we not have that ability? Let alone Mount Sumeru, even Mount Kunlun, as long as the sages don't intervene, who could be a match for your Jie Sect!"

"But do you know how despicable Jieyin's methods were? He plotted to have Di Xin desecrate Nuwa when she offered incense at the Nuwa Palace, provoking her anger and causing her to destroy the Shang Dynasty for him. What gentlemanly methods are you talking about when dealing with such a person?"

Tongtian hesitated for a moment. He really didn't want to use such methods, but Hongyun's words made perfect sense. Perhaps...

"How about I send one of my disciples to the western regions to attract the attention of Jieyin? Knowing Jieyin's nature, he will surely be tempted. I can use both soft and hard tactics to get my disciple to betray the Xuanmen. As long as that disciple can gain Jieyin's trust, it won't be difficult to lure a few disciples from the west into the Great Tribulation."

Hongyun smiled and continued, "You can also let your disciple move around in Xiqi. How could those few members of the Chan Sect possibly be a match for your or my disciple? Ji Chang knows that the immortals are no match for Chaoge in terms of magic, so it is only reasonable for him to seek help from the Western Buddhist sect through another route."

Hongyun and Tongtian exchanged a smile. Neither of them were particularly adept at using schemes and tricks, but when they got together, they always managed to come up with some good ideas.

"But... Ji Chang is known for his virtue; he might not conceal the fact that the disciples of the Chan Sect are colluding with the West." Tongtian had another concern.

Although he was being a bit fussy, Tongtian was unaware of later novels, so it was normal for him to be cautious.

Hongyun explained, "His reputation for virtue may not be genuine."

"If he, a feudal lord, truly had no ambition and was honest and law-abiding, why would he have such a good reputation? Wasn't he afraid of being resented by Chaoge?"

Moreover, it is said among the people that Emperor Xin was licentious and immoral, but in what way was he licentious?

Emperor Xin (Di Xin) had only one wife and three concubines, and two sons. Ji Chang (Ji Chang), on the other hand, is known to have only one wife, but he had ninety-nine sons. Where were the mothers of these ninety-nine sons? What was his purpose in cultivating such a reputation?

Hongyun's series of questions shattered Tongtian's perception of Di Xin and Ji Chang.

Tongtian snapped out of his daze, snorted coldly, and his disgust for Ji Chang reached its peak: "Then as you said, send me your message whenever you need me."

"I won't keep you any longer, after all, the situation of the human race still requires your constant attention. I... have matters to attend to within the sect, but I'll definitely come to find you after the Conferment of Gods is over, and we'll have a good drink together!"

Tongtian, based on his own idea and Jieyin's style of doing things, felt that Jieyin's personality might lead the disciples of the Jie Sect to betray the Xuanmen. Therefore, he planned to take this opportunity to find people in the sect who might have disloyal intentions.
