Chapter 227 Incident
Li Anran was slightly stunned. He knew what Yang Jian said, but he had never connected it with today's siege of the Demon Master's Mansion.
In the ancient wizard-lich period, after Hongjun Daozu attained enlightenment and became a saint, he opened the door to convenience in Zixiao Palace.
Anyone who can reach Zixiao Palace within three months can listen to his preaching.
Six cushions were placed in front of the pulpit.
There were seats for the six people who arrived at Zixiao Palace first and had the deepest connection with him.
The Three Pure Ones were the first to arrive at the Zixiao Palace and occupied the first three cushions.
Afterwards, Ancestor Hongyun and Kunpeng arrived one after another and occupied the fourth and fifth cushions.
Afterwards, Fuxi and Nuwa, brother and sister, came to the Zixiao Palace.
Fuxi gave his seat to his sister Nuwa.
Although the powerful people who came later guessed that these six cushions might have unusual purposes, due to the powerful strength of the Three Pure Ones and the fear that they would be driven out by Hongjun Daozu if they robbed them, they could only suppress their thoughts and stand aside.
Until the two brothers Jie Yin and Zhunti arrived from the West.
Jie Yin Zhunti also realized that the six cushions represented extraordinary significance, and that the Three Pure Ones and others were very powerful. He was also worried that if they robbed them by force, they would be driven out by Hongjun Daozu, but he was unwilling to let it go!
So, Jie Yin burst into tears, expressing his pity for the poor and cold Western world where cultivation was difficult, and how he had come all the way here with great difficulty but there was no seat.
Ancestor Hongyun was a good man and couldn't bear it, so he gave his cushion to Jie Yin.
His act of giving up his seat gave Jie Yin and Zhunti an excuse, and they forced Kunpeng to give up his seat by half force and half moral blackmail.
Seeing this, the others also began to think about it, but stopped when Daozu Hongjun appeared.
From then on, the six seats in Zixiao Palace were decided.
Because the Three Pure Ones were the seats he occupied, he became the direct disciple of Hongjun Daozu.
Nuwa's seat was given up by her brother Fuxi, so she became a disciple of Hongjun Daozu.
The seat for Jie Yin Zhunti was obtained by deceiving and snatching it from Hong Yun and Kun Peng, so he could only be a nominal disciple.
When the third sermon in Zixiao Palace was over, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun bestowed a ray of primordial purple energy on each of the Three Pure Ones!
The powerful people in Zixiao Palace then realized that the six cushions represented not only the bond with the Taoist master and his disciples, but also the chance to become a saint.
For a moment, it was too late to regret.
Not to mention Ancestor Hongyun and Kunpeng.
Especially Kunpeng, whose seat was snatched away by force, hated Jie Yin and Zhunti very much, and also hated Patriarch Hongyun who took the initiative to give up his seat!
And after Daozu Hongjun bestowed an extra wisp of Hongmeng purple energy to Patriarch Hongyun.
Kunpeng’s hatred towards Patriarch Hongyun even exceeded that towards Jie Yin and Zhunti.
The moment he left Zixiao Palace, Kunpeng wanted to attack Patriarch Hongyun, but because Patriarch Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi had returned to Wuzhuang Temple, he had to give up temporarily!
Until the Three Pure Ones led Zhunti and Nuwa to attain sainthood one after another, Patriarch Hongyun could no longer suppress his anxiety and left Wuzhuang Temple to travel around the ancient world in search of opportunities. However, Kunpeng seized the opportunity and ambushed and killed him, with only a remnant of his soul escaping.
Afterwards, he was targeted by the Old Ancestor of the Styx, who wanted to transform a wisp of his soul into a member of the Asura tribe.
Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi noticed it early, used the Book of Earth to protect the remaining soul of Patriarch Hongyun, and went to Yuanshi Tianzun to ask for the Three Lights Divine Water, and finally rescued Patriarch Hongyun.
Otherwise, the wish of Jieyin Zhunti would be fulfilled!
——Jie Yin Zhunti obtained two seats from Hong Yun and Kun Peng, became the registered disciple of Hong Jun Dao Zu, and attained enlightenment and became a saint. It can be said that he owed the two of them a huge cause and effect!
However, Jie Yin and Zhunti never considered repayment at all!
When Kunpeng attacked Patriarch Hongyun and Patriarch Minghe to add insult to injury, Jie Yin and Zhunti had already become saints and could know the whole story with just a thought.
However, the two of them just watched without taking any action and watched the Red Cloud Ancestor suffer the disaster!
Because, as long as the soul of Ancestor Hongyun is destroyed, the cause and effect will naturally be resolved!
Even if the Red Cloud Ancestor did not die, but was only seriously injured or reincarnated, it would be much easier for them to repay the karma than before!
They have the same plan for Kunpeng.
Unexpectedly, not only did the Red Cloud Ancestor survive, but Kunpeng also survived the Lich Catastrophe, escaped to Beijuluzhou, and obtained the River Map and Luoshu from Emperor Jun, and became very successful.
Afterwards, Jie Yin Zhunti also met Patriarch Hongyun and promised to help him reincarnate and accept him as a disciple of the Western Sect, but was rejected by Patriarch Hongyun.
As for Kunpeng, they have even less chance to repay their karma.
This cause and effect was dragged on, and after they left the Three Realms, it was inherited by Lingshan.
Lingshan’s plan is obviously the same as that of their saintly leader!
He wants to sit back and watch Kunpeng's soul shatter and will not take the initiative to get involved.
Yang Jian said again: "Brother Li Anran, I came to you this time because I need your help with something."
Li Anran said, "Second brother, just go ahead and say it."
Yang Jian said: "I have already agreed with Uncle Taiyi and the others that they will find an excuse to temporarily withdraw from the Danyuan Conference before it begins."
Li Anran was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out Yang Jian's intention.
The Jade Emperor's Danyuan Conference, like the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, is one of the top events in the Three Realms.
However, because the number of elixirs is even less than the number of peaches, only gods and Buddhas with noble status in the Three Realms can participate in the Danyuan Conference, such as Taiyi Tianzun, Nan Ji Xianweng, etc.
The Jade Emperor chose to take action at this time because he wanted to take advantage of the gathering of all the immortals at the Danyuan Conference and use their power to deal with the Demon Master's Mansion.
——A man who receives favors shall be grateful for what he has received!
You are all gods in my heaven, and you just took my elixir. It would be unreasonable for you not to help me exorcise demons and monsters, right?
Yang Jian persuaded all the immortals of the Chan sect to accept the invitation on the surface, and then find excuses to refuse the event in order to catch the Jade Emperor off guard.
Without the help of the powerful people from the orthodox sect, relying only on the power of the evil sect and the heaven, even if they could deal with the Demon Master's Mansion, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
At this time, the importance of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun Patriarch became apparent!
The Jade Emperor had no choice but to offend Lingshan and punish Guanyin in exchange for the actions of Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun Patriarch!
"Second brother really has good methods." Li Anran praised.
"It's just using force to force people."
Yang Jian waved his hand, took out a palm-sized mirror from his bosom, handed it to Li Anran, and said, "Brother Li Anran, my seat at the Danyuan Conference is near the front, and it is inconvenient for me to do anything. I need you to use this Qiankun Mirror to help me keep an eye on the movements of Beijuluzhou."
"When the Demon Master's Mansion and Jiejiao are in a stalemate, you can give me a signal, and then I will work with Zhenyuan Daxian to sue Guanyin for instructing her goldfish to refine human pills and kill the water creatures of Tongtian River to silence them."
They are all participants of the Danyuan Conference, but their identities and treatments are different.
As the god of justice, Yang Jian sat in the front row, and his every move was under the eyes of everyone.
Li Anran is different.
He was not qualified to attend the Danyuan Conference and was only allowed in with the grace of the Jade Emperor. He must have sat at the last position.
No one would notice what he did.
"This is a simple matter, leave it to me." Li Anran agreed to the task.
Yang Jian immediately told Li Anran how to use the Qiankun Mirror, and then returned to the Temple of the God of Justice.
Li Anran started to test the Qiankun Mirror.
"Open!" Li Anran chanted the spell silently and pointed his finger at the Qiankun Mirror.
Buzz!
I saw a brilliant light flowing, and the yin-yang pattern representing "heaven" and "earth" on the front of the Qiankun Mirror began to rotate and then opened with a bang.
A scene of mountains, rivers and streams appeared in the mirror.
"Is this Dongsheng Shenzhou?"
This was the first time Li Anran used this magic weapon and he was still a little unfamiliar with it.
The first thing he looked at was not Beijuluzhou, but Dongsheng Shenzhou.
But soon, Li Anran mastered the trick.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The images in the Qiankun Mirror changed rapidly, and after more than ten times, they stopped.
In the mirror, yellow wind was rolling and purple mist was rising. Eighteen nets stretched between heaven and earth, trapping a mountain range inside. Countless heavenly soldiers and generals were waving weapons, waving flags and shouting.
In front of them, the Bull Demon King, wearing bright armor, a red tasseled crown on his head, and holding a mixed iron stick, was fighting with the Dragon Demon King.
Red Boy stood aside, holding the flaming spear, to support the Bull Demon King.
If you look closely, you can see that Red Boy has already made some magic gestures with his left hand, ready to use Samadhi Fire to rescue at any time.
After Princess Iron Fan died at the hands of Taiyi Tianzun in the battle at Cuiyun Mountain, Bull Demon King and Red Boy, father and son, depended on each other for survival, and their relationship became much closer than before.
Compared to when he was in Cuiyun Mountain, Bull Demon King's strength has increased a lot after experiencing the calamity of obtaining the scriptures in the West, and he has already reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
In comparison, the Jiao Demon King is far inferior!
Although Li Anran had never dealt with the Dragon Demon King, he had seen him in the lives of the Monkey King and the monkeys.
Five hundred years ago, the Demon King Jiao was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and the second among the Seven Great Sages. But now he has just broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
It may seem fast, but you have to know that now that the catastrophe is approaching, it is much easier to break through the realm than before!
In more than five hundred years, the monkey has broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal, and the Monkey King and the Bull Demon King have both reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.
He had just broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and could be said to have been left far behind by his former sworn brothers!
As soon as the two of them fought, the Dragon Demon King was at an absolute disadvantage.
The Bull Demon King wielded a mixed iron stick as fast as the wind, just like forging iron, and continuously hit the double guns of the Dragon Demon King, and the clanging sound was endless.
The Dragon Demon King was stunned. After resisting for more than ten times, his arms began to tremble slightly and he couldn't even hold the weapon steadily.
"My martial arts skills are not as good as before, and my reactions are slow. Apart from the breakthrough in my cultivation, everything else is worse than before."
Li Anran saw through the depth of the Jiao Demon King with just one glance.
He glanced in the direction of the monster cave and saw dozens of monsters waving flags and shouting, with a similar aura to the Dragon Demon King. He then understood the reason for all this.
Li Anran didn't read any further.
Back then, the Bull Demon King could still fight with him for a few moves, but now the gap between the two is hundreds or thousands of times greater than that between the Bull Demon King and the Dragon Demon King!
In his eyes, the fight between the two monsters was no different from a martial arts master watching kindergarten kids fighting!
He only needs one hand to kill them both!
Li Anran's mind moved, and the image in the Qiankun Mirror began to flow, sweeping towards the military camp where the Bull Demon King was stationed.
Soon, he saw two familiar figures in the military camp.
The one on the left looks to be in her twenties, wearing a light green palace dress with elaborate flowers and a layer of golden gauze on the outside. Her pretty face reveals a hint of gentleness, and her eyes and eyebrows reveal a gentle temperament.
The one on the right looks younger, wearing a phoenix crown and silver hairpins, and a green long skirt. He is pointing in the direction of the fight between Bull Demon King and Dragon Demon King, as if commenting on their martial arts.
They are none other than Qiongxiao and Bixiao among the Three Xiaos!
Next to them stood a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, a golden crown on his head, and a square face. He was the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming!
The image in the Qiankun Mirror only paused on the three of them for a moment. Zhao Gongming seemed to have noticed something and looked around abruptly, then raised his head to look at the horizon.
Looking in the mirror, it was as if Zhao Gongming had passed through the void and was looking into the eyes of Li Anran.
"What a keen perception!"
Li Anran's eyes focused and he moved the image of the Qiankun Mirror away from the three people.
Soon, he discovered that there were several terrifying and powerful auras lingering in the military camp.
One of them was very familiar to him, it was the Golden Spirit Mother!
The remaining few forces vary in strength!
And the strongest one is even stronger than him!
Has the Jiejiao sect taken out all its assets?
Li Anran frowned, feeling a little strange.
Although the Jie Religion defected to the Heavenly Court and wanted to borrow the power of the Heavenly Court to preserve the Chaos Bell, isn’t their attitude a bit too positive?
Sending Zhao Gongming alone was not enough, even Yunxiao and Jin Ling Sheng Mu were sent!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Anran's mind.
"Could the transaction between Jiejiao and Lu Ya be related to the Demon Master's Mansion?"
At the same time, Qiong Xiao noticed that Zhao Gongming looked a little strange, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It seemed like someone was secretly spying on us just now." Zhao Gongming was a little uncertain.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were both startled and looked around quickly.
"He's not around. He must have used some magic weapon. Don't worry, ladies. I'll go look for him."
Zhao Gongming used his magic power and wiped his forehead with his right hand. Suddenly, a vertical eye appeared on his forehead.
Then he closed his eyes, leaving only the vertical eye on his forehead open.
Buzz!
The light in his eyes flashed and actually came out from his forehead, like tentacles, looking in all directions.
"Brother, have you found it?" Bixiao couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Gongming shook his head, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger, and he immediately said to Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao: "Two sisters, you guys stay here and watch. I will tell Sister Yun Xiao about this."
"Let's go too." Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao quickly followed.
Yunxiao was practicing in the tent. When he noticed the three people coming, he stopped.
Zhao Gongming reiterated what he had just noticed.
Unexpectedly, Yunxiao agreed with him: "Someone is indeed spying on us in secret."
Zhao Gongming asked anxiously, "Sister Yunxiao, you also noticed it? Do you know who it is?"
Yunxiao said, "Brother, there is no need to be so anxious. The encirclement and suppression of the Demon Master's Mansion is of great importance. Many people are paying attention to this matter, including the Heavenly Court, Lingshan, and Xuanmen... We don't need to care about them. We just need to do what we should do."
"Just let him spy like this unscrupulously?" Zhao Gongming was somewhat unwilling.
Yun Xiao said, "As long as we can destroy the Demon Master's Mansion, nothing else matters. Brother, please don't make things complicated."
