Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 565: Clear the court and kill Bai Ze!
The universe, the heaven.
The emperor and his ministers in Lingxiao Palace were watching the show with great joy.
Anyway, there are only two living people in such a huge heaven.
There are four heavenly gates, thousands of palaces, inside and outside, and there are many heavenly soldiers and generals, but whether it is the golden-armored gods holding spears and whips, or the Marshal Zhentian holding swords and knives, they are actually the embodiment of the rules of the universe.
Very fierce, but also very stupid.
"Your Majesty, four of the original defenders of this vast land of Zhongzhou have already left. Does the remaining one need to be sent off with proper ceremony?"
Bai Ze knew that a group of military strategists and gods had come, and he had some guesses about their respective identities.
The only thing I’m not sure about is who the big boss is at Youhun Pass.
Is it in the sky, underground, or in the south?
In Tiangong and Tiannan, there is probably only one person who meets the criteria.
Bai Ze doesn’t know much about what’s underground, so it’s hard to guess.
“She…”
Mingyu looked towards Youhun Pass and smiled, "No need. It's so rare to be able to come out, why rush to chase people away?"
Bai Ze listened and nodded.
But he couldn't help but complain in his heart: It's not easy for those military gods to come here, I haven't seen you so tolerant!
At this moment, Mingyu watched the departing figures of Gongsun Qi and the others and whispered, "Is it because of Xuanyuan that we're anchored in the past and traveling upstream along the long river of time and space? Interesting."
Let the future form and spirit cover the present vest.
These guys really know how to have fun!
I just don't know if Zulong would be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin when he saw General Wei running to support the descendants of the Red Emperor.
"Speaking of which, Second Master really took a lot of trouble to let so many people in."
Mingyu stroked the Ruyi in her hand and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Bai Ze!"
"Your Majesty, please give your orders!"
Bai Ze possessed the body and listened quietly.
Mingyu looked at the tools of the Heavenly Palace and always felt that they were boring, as if something was missing.
"Now that the Middle-earth War is over, this first phase has also come to an end. So, before you post this golden list, go summon the Twelve Golden Immortals to heaven for your services."
"Twelve Golden Immortals?"
Hearing this, Bai Ze hesitated and asked, "Will they come?"
Mingyu smiled calmly: "It's better if you don't come. Just consider it an excuse!"
"When the time comes, you will immediately post the gold list."
Bai Ze had the List of Immortals and Demons in his sleeve, and he quickly understood Mingyu's meaning.
"The Twelve Golden Immortals disobeyed the will of heaven and committed a murderous calamity?"
No matter what, Your Majesty is the first disciple of the third generation of Xuanmen. Is it really okay to just catch the immortal of the Chan Sect and torture him to death?
Bai Ze looked at Mingyu in confusion.
Mingyu smiled and asked, "Who told you that the Twelve Golden Immortals were all Xianjiao immortals?"
Before Bai Ze could react, he continued, "As the saying goes, the more you give, the greater the reward. Since they want to play, as their senior brother, of course I have to give them some experience!"
"Okay, don't just stand there, get started."
"If it's any later, it will really get dark."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
…
Bai Ze left the Heavenly Palace and headed straight west.
Then he encountered an embarrassing thing .
Kunlun Mountain is gone!
Not only is it gone, not even a trace is left.
He doesn't even know how many of the Twelve Golden Immortals are still alive, so where can he find them?
"Luckily, I was well prepared when I came down here. I had a backup plan, and while I was asking for the decree, I also asked for authority."
However, when Bai Ze followed the information given by the authority, he found something wrong.
"Aren't they the Twelve Golden Immortals? Why are there so many more?"
To be honest, when Bai Ze saw more than twenty signposts, he was a little dumbfounded.
Each of these messages is true and unique.
This shows that according to the rules of the universe, they are all the Twelve Golden Immortals!
"So capable of causing trouble? No wonder His Majesty is targeting you!"
Bai Ze muttered something, and then his mind wandered into the void, chanting in the heavens, and using his authority to search for these landmarks.
No matter how many Twelve Golden Immortals there are, I will check the water meters one by one!
…
When Providence knocks on your door, how do you react?
Option 1: Stay indoors and recite three or two volumes of Huang Ting in silence.
Option 2: Open the door to welcome him, there is a famous person on the list of immortals and demons.
Option three: Take the sword to heaven, the Emperor of Heaven takes turns to sit, this year it’s my turn!
Faced with three choices, the Twelve Golden Immortals unanimously chose four.
"Clear the emperor's side, and punish Bai Ze!"
In a hidden cave, the Twelve Golden Immortals were filled with righteous indignation as they tried to escape with their buckets but were blocked the next moment.
"This is a chaotic order. I, Guangchengzi, refuse to obey it!"
On the first cushion, the Golden Immortal who called himself Guangchengzi suddenly stood up.
He looked around and spoke fiercely: "My fellow apprentice brothers, you all know what kind of person the current Emperor of Heaven is!"
"Who is he?"
"He represents order, stands for justice, and is the supreme judge of this universe!"
"One thought can stir the universe; dwelling in peace can bring peace to the world."
"Does such a being need a god to take charge?"
"Do you need an immortal to come to heaven to help you?"
"No need, absolutely not!"
Guangchengzi's words were thought-provoking. He said, "Therefore, this decree must be false!"
As he spoke, "Guangchengzi" shook his hand and pointed to the side.
The twelve Bai Zes were tied up in various ways on the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar.
This divine fire pillar is a magical treasure brought out by "Yun Zhongzi". It is more than three meters long and more than one meter in diameter, and is arranged according to the twelve Earthly Branches.
Forty-nine fire dragons appeared in each pillar.
"Guang Chengzi" looked at the Bai Zes on the sacred fire pillars, grinned, and shouted, "It's him, Bai Ze!"
"You misinterpreted the will of Heaven, forged the imperial edict, disregarded the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, arbitrarily tampered with the imperial decree, and tried to deceive us into going to Heaven. You are the one who will do it, except for us!"
I'm not!
I don't!
You are talking nonsense!
Bai Ze, who was tied to the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar, was mumbling and struggling desperately.
He never expected that the Twelve Golden Immortals would be so bold and start fighting as soon as they said so!
It's just an imperial decree. I haven't posted the notice yet. Is it that serious?
At this time, the twelve Bai Ze were placed on the sacred fire pillar and almost became roasted whole lambs.
The remaining Golden Immortals looked at "Guangchengzi"'s righteous words and followed suit.
"Brother is right!"
On the second cushion, Yun Zhongzi, who had presented the Heaven-reaching Divine Fire Pillar, clapped his hands in praise, "The Emperor of Heaven cannot be wrong. The problem must lie with his close ministers."
"Yes!"
On the fifth cushion, there was a Taoist priest wearing a purple robe and a golden crown. He had an elegant temperament, as if he was on the top of a towering mountain, surrounded by a vast sea of clouds, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth.
This is none other than the "True Lord Qingxu" among the Twelve Golden Immortals.
He only said, "Now that the first stage of the catastrophe has just ended and the order of heaven and earth has just been established, it is a period of excessive correction. What matters does the Heavenly Court need our attention?"
Undoubtedly, facing the terrifying Emperor of Heaven and the upcoming unknown situation, "True Lord Qingxu" also opposed God.
But his deeper concern was that he also knew that there were more or less counterfeits among the Twelve Golden Immortals.
This time when he goes to heaven, there is a possibility that the fake Golden Immortal will replace the real Golden Immortal and become the scapegoat.
"My brothers are right!"
On the third cushion, "Ji Liusun," draped in a golden robe, stood majestic and imposing, as if bearing the weight of countless years. He felt as profound as the earth and as majestic as the sacred Buzhou Mountain. The Dao image, emanating from the clear and pure wheel behind his head, was remarkably simple, yet within this simplicity, it held a hint of indescribable dignity.
He took a deep look at the "Guangchengzi" on the first cushion, and then said:
"Bai Ze deceived the heavens, forged an imperial edict, and intended to harm virtuous people. His crime is unforgivable! I suggest that the eldest brother use the Heaven-Flipping Seal to punish him and set the heavens right!"
Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he said calmly:
"Since the traitor Bai Ze was captured by the twelve Golden Immortals, why not let Junior Brother Huang Long carry out the execution?"
He suddenly changed the subject and passed the ball to Taoist Huanglong.
"ah?"
Taoist Huanglong was bewildered.
We all arrested the person together, so why am I the only one to execute him?
It's true that he is honest and straightforward, but that doesn't mean he is stupid!
What's more, his two good brothers are more intelligent than each other.
Even a pig can become smart through what it sees and hears, let alone a real dragon.
Otherwise, Huang Long would not have been able to transform little by little.
Therefore, Master Huanglong reacted quickly.
He smiled innocently, looked at "Guang Chengzi" and said: "Big Brother, you know I'm slow-witted. I didn't really hear what you said just now."
"Guang Chengzi" then said patiently: "I mean, the treacherous minister Bai Ze..."
"Ah yes! The traitor Bai Ze!"
Huang Long suddenly shouted and stood up. He took out two dragon-slaying swords and waved them in the air, very excited.
"Big Brother is going to kill him?"
Seeing that Huang Long, though slow, understood immediately and took the bait in no time, Guangchengzi couldn't help but smile.
"right!"
He nodded.
"Okay! Big Brother, I support you!"
As soon as Huang Long finished speaking, "Guangchengzi" felt a heaviness in his hand.
Looking down, he found that the two dragon-slaying swords were already in his hands.
“???”
"Guangchengzi" looked confused.
Then, he met Huang Long's sincere eyes.
"We will resolutely uphold all decisions made by the eldest brother, and we will unswervingly follow all instructions given by the eldest brother."
"Come on, Big Brother, let's do it!"
"I'll lend you my sword!"
"Cut off Bai Ze's dog head!"
Huang Long's speech was extremely sincere, and every word came from the heart, and he looked like a little fan of "Guangchengzi".
As the saying goes, sincerity is the only surefire way to success.
What's more, there are teammates to help.
"Junior Brother Huang Long is absolutely right!"
"Ju Liusun" was the first to agree, and his eyes looking at Huang Long were filled with satisfaction.
Junior brother, that’s it, kill this impostor!
The two good brothers "Taiyi" and "Yuding" on the seventh and eighth cushions immediately expressed their support.
"Big Brother, please execute the traitor Bai Ze!"
Daoxing, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Chijing|zi and the others were also watching the fun and responded, "Big Brother Shenwei, please kill Bai Ze!"
When "Cihang Zhenren" saw this, he guessed that "Guangchengzi" was likely to fail, so he also voted in favor.
This time, there is really no way "Guangchengzi" can be dealt with.
Huang Long set the pace, which really put him in a difficult position.
It’s not right to kill, and it’s not right not to kill!
[What do you mean, fellow students?]
【Backstab, huh?】
[We agreed to play together, and now you're selling me out, your senior brother?]
"Guangchengzi" glared unhappily at "Manjusri" and "Cihang" who were the last to vote.
Manjusri and the others chuckled and pointed at Bai Ze, who was unable to move, and said, "Big Brother, please come in!"
Our weak arms and legs cannot bear the heavy responsibility of committing the crime of murder.
It’s better for you to come!
"Guangchengzi" was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He took one last look at the honest Huang Long, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it!"
Suddenly, wind and clouds arose, and thunder and fire flashed.
"Guangchengzi" approached Bai Ze step by step with the Dragon Slaying Sword in hand.
【You you you! 】
【You, don’t come over here! 】
Bai Ze was in tears at this moment.
Of course he knew what the Twelve Golden Immortals were performing.
Your Majesty needs the Twelve Golden Immortals to start the calamity and initiate the second phase.
The Twelve Golden Immortals did not dare to truly defy Heaven's will, so they looked for loopholes in the rules of the game.
Introduce a "culprit" who is bound to die to ward off disaster.
Sacrifice one Golden Immortal to make all Golden Immortals successful.
In this way, most of the immortals of the two sects can survive to the next stage.
Originally, Guangchengzi's target was Huanglong.
But I didn’t expect that my “junior brothers” and “junior sisters” would stab me in the back on the spot!
[I was careless! ]
"Guangchengzi" sighed and handed over the dragon-slaying sword.
Two brilliant fairy lights bloomed, and the twelve Bai Zes died beyond their capacity to die, leaving no trace behind.
"Guangchengzi, your uncle!"
In every corner of the universe, the other Bai Zes who were checking water meters were shocked and began to curse.
When these two weapons were chopped down, Bai Ze's bodies began to crack little by little, and dazzling light burst out from the cracks.
"Guangchengzi" knew that he would die, but he still wanted to take Bai Ze away.
Rumble~~
The void is shaking and the will of heaven is in chaos.
"Guangchengzi" died under the eager gaze of his fellow disciples.
Immediately, a golden list slowly opened in the Lingxiao Palace, shining brightly.
The forces of the entire universe could not help but understand.
The leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals - Guangchengzi - was in danger of death.
The second stage of the calamity between immortals and demons has officially begun!
…
In Middle-earth, at the moment the catastrophe began, the guards of Qinglong Pass, Sishui Pass, Sanshan Pass, and Chentang Pass were replaced one after another.
The commander of Sanshan Pass who succeeded Sun Wu still raised the flag with the name "Sun" on it.
Inside the pass, the guard looked at the black and white mark on his palm, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
At this time, the commander of Sishui Pass asked in a voice transmission: "Brother, the mark on my hand is black, what color is yours?"
The guard of Sanshan Pass replied casually: "I am also black, we are together."
"That's a good feeling!"
The Sishui Pass commander was visibly relieved. He said happily, "We brothers can now join forces to wreak havoc!"
"Yes." The commander of Sanshan Pass nodded slightly. "Be careful. This stage is different. We still need to find out the identities of the other three commanders."
The commander of Sishui Pass suggested, "Why don't we go to Youhun Pass together?"
"Can!"
The commander of Sanshan Pass agreed without much hesitation.
Not long after, the two major defenders of Sanshan Pass and Sishui Pass went to Youhun Pass, and they each raised two flags.
"Sun!"
"Pang!"
