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

Chapter 314

Hongyun also heard the loud noises and screams that came one after the other, not far from Wanshou Mountain.

They were all familiar with Kong Xuan's voice, so there was no mistake.

Zhen Yuanzi was about to go out to investigate, and Hongyun followed closely behind.

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi's furrowed brows, Hongyun comforted him, "There's no need to worry too much. Kong Xuan is already a quasi-saint; there aren't many people who can harm him."

Zhen Yuanzi: "But he's injured. Who do you think it could be?"

Hongyun suddenly realized that Styx, Kunpeng, and the others would naturally not dare to attack Zhenyuanzi's disciple. Laozi would not make things difficult for juniors, and Nuwa and Tongtian would be even less likely to do so.

Therefore, Kong Xuan's injury was either caused by Jieyin or Yuanshi.

No matter who it is, Kong Xuan is in danger.

Hongyun stopped talking and quickly headed to where Kong Xuan had fallen.

A peacock lay on the ground, its beak still tinged with crimson.

Hongyun looked around but there was no one else there.

Zhen Yuanzi used magic to heal Kong Xuan's injuries and transformed Kong Xuan into human form.

Kong Xuan coughed up another mouthful of blood: "Master~"

After confirming that Kong Xuan was unharmed, Zhen Yuanzi was no longer worried and asked, "What happened?"

Kong Xuan said weakly, "On my way back to the mountain, I saw Yun Zhongzi of the Chan Sect sneaking around, staring at the residence of my junior brother Mo Wang of Xiqi, as if he was about to take some action."

The disciple then transformed into his original form, swallowed Yun Zhongzi, and took him back to Wuzhuang Temple. If Master disapproved, the disciple could spit him out in time.

"Unexpectedly, Yun Zhongzi, though not highly skilled, possessed a thunder talisman for protection. He activated the talisman within my abdomen. Caught off guard, I was caught completely off guard and suffered this severe injury."

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun exchanged a glance, then examined Kong Xuan's abdomen: "He is dead."

What was Yun Zhongzi doing above the Xiqi Military Advisor's Mansion with a thunder talisman that could injure a quasi-saint? If Kong Xuan hadn't happened to pass by today, what would Yun Zhongzi have done, and what would the thunder talisman have done?

Hongyun sneered. This was all Yuanshi could do. Even sending his disciple out to kill someone required him to use a thunder talisman he had personally made.

Zhen Yuanzi took Kong Xuan with him, and the three of them returned to Wuzhuang Temple together.

Qingfeng and Mingyue helped Kong Xuan back to his room and gave him some pills made by Zhen Yuanzi to heal his injuries.

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi sat together, their faces ashen, discussing how to deal with the situation.

Hongyun: "Although Yuanshi's move is despicable, it is very useful. Don't forget that they are in the human world and scattered in all directions. If they encounter danger, Kong Xuan will not be able to arrive in time."

Aside from Kong Xuan, anyone else who encountered this thunder talisman would perish. Even though we each provided them with protective magic items, we were still at a disadvantage. "It's like trying to guard against a thief one day and doing the same thing the next."

"If a sage cannot directly intervene in a calamity, then his thunder talisman doesn't count?" Zhen Yuanzi felt sorry for Kong Xuan's injuries and wished he could just storm Mount Kunlun.

Hongyun snorted coldly: "He will only think that everything he does is in accordance with the will of Heaven. Those of us who oppose him are going against the will of Heaven."

After a moment's thought, Zhen Yuanzi said, "Recall Mo Wang and the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple in Xiqi. Let Xiqi lose its support, and give the Chan Sect an opportunity to enter Xiqi."

"Why?" Hongyun asked, puzzled.

Zhen Yuanzi: "If the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple don't leave Xiqi, how can the disciples of Chan Sect enter? Is it possible for Ji Chang to seek help from the West under the combined influence of Wuzhuang Temple and Chan Sect?"

Hongyun felt this was inappropriate: "But the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit has been inseparable from Ji Chang and has gained his deep trust. Even if Mo Wang leaves, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit cannot leave, and the Wuzhuang Temple's influence in Xiqi will still be significant."
