Chapter 259 We Are the Gods
According to the Eight Immortals' prediction, the pangolin would wait until all their magical powers were destroyed before becoming complacent and revealing its true colors.
However, the pangolin could not bear to see He Xiangu being tortured. When he saw that Lu Dongbin's soul was scattered, he could not wait to slip out of the Lingxiao Palace and rescue He Xiangu.
He Xiangu's expression changed, and she shouted urgently: "Pangolin! Let me go! I don't need you to save me!"
Just now, the pangolin pleaded for her in the Lingxiao Palace, which had already aroused the suspicion of the immortals.
If anything happens again, she won't be able to wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River!
Pangolin didn't know what made He Xiangu anxious, and comforted her softly: "Xiangu, don't be afraid! Lu Dongbin is dead, no one in the Three Realms can do anything to me! Not even the Jade Emperor! You don't have to worry about the Jade Emperor sending troops anymore..."
"shut up!"
He Xiangu was very anxious and interrupted Pangolin's words, shouting: "You despicable monster, what conspiracy do you want to harm me again! I will kill you!" She turned around and slapped Pangolin in the chest with her backhand.
bump!
The pangolin was caught off guard and was hit hard by He Xiangu's palm.
However, his Nine Transformations of Xuantian have already been perfected, his cultivation has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his body is extremely powerful.
He Xiangu had just broken through to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and with one palm strike, the pangolin only turned pale, and the injury was not serious.
"Fairy, you misunderstood me!"
Pangolin's first reaction was not to fight back, and he didn't even let go of his hand. He explained anxiously, "How could I hurt you? I, Pangolin, love you deeply, and the heaven and earth can bear witness to that! Even if I die, I will never hurt you!"
"Evil beast! You are a monster, how dare you talk about love?"
He Xiangu cursed loudly, stretched out her hand and grabbed the sword she carried with her, and stabbed it at the pangolin.
The pangolin had a look of astonishment on its face, standing there stupidly, as if it had been hit by a spell, unable to move.
Phew!
The sword pierced directly through the pangolin's chest.
He Xiangu was overjoyed and was about to draw her sword and strike again, but she found that she couldn't pull the sword out at all.
"Fairy, you didn't say that before! You said that no matter if you are a monster or a fairy, as long as you have love and compassion in your heart, you can achieve enlightenment!"
Pangolin's right hand tightly grasped the sword blade, his face full of disbelief.
He even forgot to use his magic power to bless his hands, and the sword cut a big gash on his palm, and blood kept dripping down the sword.
"That's because I was deceived by you, a monster! Han Zhongli and the others are right, a monster is a monster, no matter how disguised it is, it is still a monster! It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature!"
He Xiangu's words were far sharper than the sword in her hand, and directly pierced through the last line of defense in the pangolin's heart.
The pangolin looked dazed and his hands loosened unconsciously.
He Xiangu successfully drew out the sword and stabbed it out again without mercy.
Pointing directly at the pangolin's heart.
This sword is faster, more powerful, and contains stronger magical power!
But, he failed to stab!
when!
A claw covered with dark purple scales and with nails as black as iron and stone grabbed the sword like an iron clamp!
He Xiangu glared, and used all her magic power to continue stabbing forward, but the sword did not move forward at all.
"Haha! Haha! Hahaha!"
The pangolin stared at He Xiangu with a strange expression on his face, as if smiling but not laughing, and bursts of mocking laughter came out of his mouth.
He Xiangu felt frightened by being stared at and tried hard to take back the sword, but it was of no use.
"Monster, why don't you let go!" He Xiangu shouted angrily.
"Monster? Monster! Monster!!! Hahahahahahaha!"
The pangolin looked crazy, raised his head and laughed for a while, then his expression changed and he shouted viciously: "Since you call me a monster, then I, the pangolin, will be a monster!"
Snap!
The pangolin used its claws to crush the sword.
He Xiangu's face turned pale, she let go of the sword and stepped back, but it was too late as the pangolin grabbed her neck.
“Fairy!” The other six fairies were waiting for He Xiangu to provoke Pangolin to reveal his true nature. Now they were really anxious and tried desperately to break free. They shouted, “Pangolin, what do you want to do? Let go of Fairy!”
He Xiangu's neck was strangled, but her left hand in her sleeve was pinching her fingers tightly.
This was a secret code agreed upon in advance by the Eight Immortals.
She was telling Lu Dongbin and the others not to take action and to be patient.
This He Xiangu is really cruel!
Li Anran was somewhat curious about who He Xiangu was in her previous life.
Regardless of whether her behavior was right or wrong, her character was truly firm. She was cruel enough to be cruel to the pangolin and to herself!
"You ask me what I want to do? I'm a demon, so I have to do what a demon should do!"
The pangolin had a ferocious look on its face, with strange purple lines appearing on its face.
This is a sign that one's heart is broken and one is about to go insane!
After enduring it, his cultivation level increased greatly. Even if the pangolin could not break through to the Golden Immortal, he could at least take a step into it.
If you fail, you will become a complete slave to your desires.
During this period, the pangolin's strength will be temporarily improved, but the price is that its mind will be easily manipulated by desire and violence.
The pangolin didn't notice He Xiangu's little move at all, and shouted fiercely: "I will bring her down to the mortal world and make her my wife! I want her to know that I am much stronger than that Lu Dongbin!"
Li Anran: "..." He has already gone too far, and he still wants to be a licker here! This pangolin is really something!
Li Anran was speechless, and He Xiangu also realized that her chance had come.
"Ha!" He Xiangu laughed sneerily, "A despicable person who only dares to hide his head and tail and play tricks and schemes, dares to do but not to take responsibility, and wants to be compared with Lu Dongbin? You think too highly of yourself!"
"He Xiangu!"
Pangolin's eyes were red, and he used both hands to pinch He Xiangu so hard that her face turned red and she couldn't breathe. However, he couldn't harden his heart, so he gasped and let go of her hands, saying, "Do you know why Lü Dongbin just memorized everything?"
He Xiangu's heart skipped a beat, and realizing that something was wrong, she turned her head away and did not respond.
The pangolin laughed: "You guessed it? Right? That's right, it's Bai..."
Before he could finish his words, Pangolin's expression suddenly changed, and a golden light suddenly appeared and flew towards his arm.
Danger!
The pangolin felt his hair stand on end, and he instinctively let go of his hand and dodged to the side.
By the time he came to his senses and wanted to catch He Xiangu again, it was too late.
The golden light changed direction and directly carried He Xiangu back to the Immortal Execution Platform.
"Prison God!" Pangolin and He Xiangu shouted in unison.
Both of them were shocked and angry.
"Let's end this farce here." Li Anran also said to the two of them and the other seven fairies.
He Xiangu was unwilling to accept this, but thinking of the word Bai Mudan that Pangolin had just blurted out, she could only endure it.
When Emperor Donghua was reincarnated, he made a vow with all the immortals. He was devoted to Taoism and never had any worldly desires.
It was so in the previous life, and it will be so in the next life.
If his reincarnated body were to fall in love with Bai Mudan, he would fall into the cycle of reincarnation and never be able to escape.
He Xiangu was afraid that the pangolin would mention Bai Mudan again. If that happened, yellow mud would fall into her crotch, which would be shit anyway.
Han Zhongli and others breathed a sigh of relief. They were not only worried about Lu Dongbin, but also He Xiangu. This was the best!
Only the pangolin was furious and shouted, "A farce? You are just a jailer who watches over the prison for the Jade Emperor, and you dare to speak nonsense in front of me! Give me back the fairy!"
The pangolin leaped up and turned into a dark purple light and pounced towards Li Anran. Two iron claws appeared on his hands, and as he swung them, a cold light flashed.
Bang!
Li Anran did not move, but just slapped out with his palm. It seemed ordinary, but it was like a solid wall, blocking the vast magic power mobilized by the pangolin and turning it into nothingness.
The pangolin's expression changed, and he looked a little unbelievable. He roared angrily, crossed his claws, and tried to tear open .
However, his claws, which were once indestructible and capable of tearing apart magical weapons, failed to work this time.
Ding! Ding!
The sharp claws hit Li Anran's palm, making two sounds of metal colliding.
There was no change in Li Anran's palm, but his claws were hurt by the recoil force and there were some damages on the tips of his claws.
"this……"
The pangolin widened his eyes. Before he could utter the words "How is this possible", he saw Li Anran flip his palm and flick it away like he was shooing away a fly.
The pangolin only felt a huge force coming at it, and it flew back involuntarily. It fell to the ground with a "bang" and slid dozens of meters away.
Li Anran did not pursue them, but cut the ropes tied to Han Zhongli and the others. He glanced at Han Zhongli and the others who were also stunned, and Lü Dongbin who had transformed into a heavenly soldier, and said calmly: "This is your business, you can solve it by yourselves."
"Thank you, God of Prison." Han Zhongli and others bowed and saluted. Their attitude was many times more respectful than when they met Li Anran in Dongsheng Shenzhou earlier.
"What is going on? Didn't Lu Dongbin's soul fly away? Why is he still alive?"
The pangolin crawled up in a panic, looking at Lu Dongbin who had revealed his true form and Han Zhongli and others who had escaped, his face full of disbelief.
He turned his head and glared at Li Anran, shouting, "It's you! As the prison god, you dared to go against the Jade Emperor's will and protect them! You have violated the rules of heaven and are guilty of deceiving the emperor!"
Lu Dongbin stepped forward and said, "Pangolin, have you not figured it out yet? Everything we did today was just to lure you out!"
Lan Caihe made a smug face and said, "This is called luring the snake out of its hole. You've been fooled. Do you understand? Lulululu~"
Han Zhongli sneered, "I bet this is the first time he has heard of this word! Otherwise, why would he be so foolish as to fall into their trap!"
As the Eight Immortals spoke, they formed a formation and trapped the pangolin in the middle.
"You! You guys!"
Pangolin suddenly came to his senses, glanced at the immortals present, and then looked towards the Lingxiao Palace, angrily saying: "You are shielding them! Why? Is it because they are immortals?"
Han Xiangzi said, "Pangolin, it's already this late. It's no use for you to keep making trouble! We have already reported to the Jade Emperor that it was you who pretended to be Lu Dongbin, deliberately provoked the conflict between the Eight Immortals and the Four Seas Dragon Clan, and set fire to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea!"
Pangolin glared at Han Xiangzi fiercely: "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? These things were done by you! You are framing me!"
Lü Dongbin snorted coldly and said, "If the Eight Immortals really want to burn the East China Sea, they can just do it openly. Only monsters would do sneaky things."
pangolin:"!!!"
The pangolin's eyes widened.
Li Anran's eyes were also twitching.
The Eight Immortals of Shangdong Cave were disciples carefully selected by Taishang Laojun, and although the dragon clans of the four seas have declined, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
Most of the water gods in the waters of the Three Realms have dragon blood.
Li Anran believed that Taishang Laojun would not allow the Eight Immortals to be tainted with such a heavy karma of killing.
It was most likely the pangolin that provoked the conflict between the Eight Immortals and the East China Sea Dragon Clan, killed a large number of dragon descendants, burned down the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and caused the deaths of countless aquatic creatures in the East China Sea!
The pangolin might have absorbed enough hostility and resentment through this incident, which allowed it to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level in such a short period of time!
but……
Lu Dongbin's remarks were really too outrageous!
Li Anran didn't know what the civil and military officials in the Heavenly Court who were watching the situation here through the Haotian Mirror in the Lingxiao Palace were thinking, nor did he know what the Taishang Laojun who was planning all this behind the scenes and the Jade Emperor who was acting with the Eight Immortals thought.
He was completely convinced!
Just this one sentence is enough to make everything that happened today, even the laws and regulations of heaven, a huge joke!
The other seven fairies all looked proud and agreed, saying, "That's right. We, the Eight Immortals, have always been upright and aboveboard. How could we be sneaky, despicable and vicious like a monster like you!"
Li Anran: “…” Second brother probably wants to kill someone now!
Li Anran could imagine Yang Jian’s dark expression in the Lingxiao Palace.
If Yang Jian had known that Lu Dongbin would make such outrageous remarks, he would not even give face to Taishang Laojun and Taiyi Tianzun. He would definitely go down to earth in person to investigate everything instead of watching Lu Dongbin and the others embarrass themselves here.
Li Anran didn't read any further and turned to fly towards the Sky Prison.
He interrupted Pangolin because he owed Emperor Donghua a favor, and now he has paid it back!
As for Lü Dongbin...
Li Anran originally appreciated it quite a lot.
However, those who are close to vermilion will become red, and those who are close to ink will become black.
After staying with Han Zhongli and others for a long time, many of Lu Dongbin's concepts became the same as Han Zhongli and others, and he said such outrageous words!
Li Anran naturally disdained to have anything to do with him anymore.
"I don't accept it! What's your excuse? Why are gods upright and monsters sneaky?" The pangolin's roar came from behind.
But, it's of no use!
The objects of his questioning are all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and it is also all the gods and Buddhas in the sky who decide right and wrong!
The referees and the athletes are in the same group!
Gods are naturally upright!
No doubt!
In the Lingxiao Palace.
The civil and military officials looked a little embarrassed. They also knew that Lu Dongbin's statement was untenable, but they all acquiesced to it and no one raised any question.
Only Yang Jian had a gloomy face, and he felt more and more that it was urgent to revise the Heavenly Law!
