#3010 - The bustling Tongtai Mansion (Part 2)

The matter of the Heavenly Emperor's avatar descending upon Copper Terrace Prefecture quickly became an unspoken 'secret' among these great powers.

Such things could be discussed in private, but absolutely not openly declared.

The reason was simple: even the Heavenly Emperor's avatar hadn't made the matter public.

If they chose to reveal it, wouldn't they be opposing the will of a Sage?

Western Sect.

Sage Jieyin and Sage Zhunti wore complex expressions.

There was anger, but also a hint of relief.

Sage Zhunti said, "Fortunately, for some reason, the Heavenly Emperor's avatar took the initiative to expose himself."

"Otherwise... if he had remained hidden in Copper Terrace Prefecture, he might have intervened to help Guang Chengzi at a crucial moment."

Sage Jieyin said, "After the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, the relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect has been very close."

Mentioning the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, both Sage Jieyin and Sage Zhunti felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts.

Before the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, their Western Sect was extremely impoverished.

As a result, after the Investiture of the Gods tribulation ended, the Western Sect became very wealthy.

The process of transforming from poverty to wealth naturally required a price.

The price was that the Western Sect had been targeted by other Sage forces for many years.

The beings in the Great Desolation who hadn't come to Copper Terrace Prefecture gradually learned about the events there.

Including the agreement between Guang Chengzi and Daoist Randeng, and the Heavenly Emperor's avatar...

Regarding the agreement between Guang Chengzi and Daoist Randeng, a large number of beings were very puzzled.

"Do you think Daoist Randeng has been overthinking things for too long? He currently possesses Sage Jieyin's Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus and Sage Zhunti's Seven Treasure Tree. With these two treasures, he can completely kill Guang Chengzi instantly, or at the very least, completely suppress him!"

"You don't understand, do you? The reason why Daoist Randeng doesn't do this must be because he has his own concerns. Think about why the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord didn't bestow a magic weapon upon Guang Chengzi. Is the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord stingy? Or is there another reason we haven't considered?"

"Isn't it always said in the Great Desolation that the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord is stingy? Listening to you, it seems there's another hidden reason? The Western Sect has been claiming poverty since the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, and they're still claiming poverty now. Such a 'poor' Sage force can give Daoist Randeng two innate treasures."

"So, you simply haven't seen the essence of this matter. In my opinion, this isn't the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord being stingy, but rather the Sage being shrewd. This time, it's a conflict between the Chan Sect and the Western Sect. If he were to bestow a magic weapon, wouldn't that magic weapon have to face two Sages when it's used?"...

There is no wall that doesn't leak wind.

Similarly, there are naturally countless clever cultivators.

The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord's thoughts were thus completely analyzed.

After understanding what the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord was really thinking.

Most of the beings in the Great Desolation couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

This Sage causes trouble, but he certainly has the ability and capital to do so!

To fight two opponents alone is bound to lose.

Not only would he be disgraced, but he might also cause the Chan Sect's reputation to suffer greatly.

Not bestowing a magic weapon upon Guang Chengzi would at most earn him a reputation for being stingy.

Compared to the disgrace and the Chan Sect's reputation being greatly damaged... this price is not worth mentioning at all!

Afterward, he could casually find a time to give Guang Chengzi a magic weapon.

This reputation for being stingy would naturally disappear.

Great Desolation Heavenly Court.

Lingxiao Palace.

The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord said to Haotian, "I knew you wouldn't laugh at me."

Haotian looked helpless. He really wanted to tell the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord the truth.

He originally wanted to watch the joke, but he never expected Qin Buyi to expose his position.

Now that Qin Buyi had exposed himself, if the Chan Sect really suffered a loss.

If the Heavenly Court didn't take any action, they might be ridiculed by the beings of the Great Desolation.

Thoughts churned in Haotian's mind.

He was thinking about how to break the situation...

How to break the situation after encountering the worst-case scenario!

At the same time, the Chaos God Clan headquarters.

Many Chaos God Clan leaders were looking at various intelligence reports about Copper Terrace Prefecture.

This intelligence naturally included the news that Qin Buyi had killed all the Chaos God Clan members who went to Copper Terrace Prefecture.

Regarding this news, the many Chaos God Clan leaders were not surprised.

The Heavenly Emperor's avatar had been fighting with them for so many years.

The purpose was to prevent them from interfering in the Great Desolation and deploying their forces there.

Now that the Chaos God Clan had gone to Copper Terrace Prefecture, at this critical time in the Journey to the West plan.

Anyone would take action!

But their Chaos God Clan wouldn't give up continuing to cause trouble just because the Heavenly Emperor's avatar had taken action.

"Hmph, so what if this Heavenly Emperor's avatar takes action? What the Chaos God Clan lacks the least is foundation. The Holy Maiden Jiutian Huang has been recuperating for so many years. Now I think the recuperation time has been long enough. She can intervene in the affairs of Copper Terrace Prefecture. Jiutian Huang is very clever!"

"I agree with this proposal. Jiutian Huang has a lot of experience fighting with the Heavenly Emperor's avatar. Not only that, this guy has repeatedly been able to survive the Heavenly Emperor's avatar's pursuit, which in itself shows how strong her ability to protect herself is. It's more appropriate to let her carry out this task."

"Everyone, you've probably forgotten one thing. The reason why Jiutian Huang's ability to protect herself is so strong is entirely because of the powerful life-saving magic weapons that we all gave her. Each of these disposable magic weapons can be said to be priceless treasures, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with Jiutian Huang herself."

"If you're not at ease letting Jiutian Huang carry out this task, then randomly select a Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm expert to follow her. Once something unexpected really happens, let this Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm expert protect Jiutian Huang and retreat. Isn't this a win-win solution?"...

The conversation among these Chaos God Clan leaders quickly spread throughout the Chaos God Clan headquarters.

After many Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm experts learned of this news, the expressions on their faces were extremely wonderful.

It was already too much to ask them to besiege the Heavenly Emperor's avatar!

Now they even had to protect the Holy Maiden Jiutian Huang.

If their status wasn't too low, they really wanted to ask the leaders who made this decision if their brains were waterlogged!

It was simply too much!

The hearts of many middle-stage Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm experts were filled with resentment towards these leaders.

In an extremely long period of time, after countless hardships, they had finally cultivated to their current realm.

They had originally fantasized about a more glorious and beautiful future.

Who would have thought... the crisis from the Heavenly Emperor's avatar would come one after another.

While constantly breaking their defenses, they also felt all kinds of powerlessness.

Just when these Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm Chaos God Clan members were uneasy and annoyed.

The leaders above had already picked out the person to go to the Great Desolation to carry out the mission.

Her name was Luomei, and she was a female Chaos God Clan member.

Luomei had a considerable reputation at the Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm level, or rather, throughout the entire Chaos God Clan headquarters.

There were very few beings who could cultivate to the Fourth-Rank Undying Dao Realm in the first place.

And females were even rarer!

In such a situation, she could naturally be admired by most male Chaos God Clan members.

"Damn, why would they let Luomei go to the Great Desolation to carry out such a dangerous mission? Are these adults really destroying her because they can't get her? I heard that many adults have openly and secretly told Luomei that they wanted to form a Daoist couple with her, but Luomei has always refused."

"Don't think of Luomei as so pure. As far as I know, she also has 'relationships' with many adults in private. The reason why she was sent to the Great Desolation to carry out such a dangerous mission this time is likely because she offended the adults some time ago due to interests."

"It's just a matter of interests, but is it necessary to be so ruthless? Everyone in the Chaos God Clan knows that going to the Great Desolation to carry out a mission is almost certain death. To put her to death for a little bit of interest, these adults are too cold-hearted."

"Who knows what hidden secrets are inside? To be honest, I'm not too surprised that these adults made this decision. After all, these waterlogged guys have done a lot of those seemingly stupid and muddled decisions over the years."

As the protagonist, Luomei's eyes were a little straight at this time.

She didn't expect that she would become this unlucky person.

As the common social butterfly of the adults above, she originally thought that she was the least likely to be selected.

Who would have thought... she actually became the person to go to the Great Desolation!
