828: Chapter 289: Bait on the Hook_3 828: Chapter 289: Bait on the Hook_3 “Ah?” Guilingling blinked.

“Impossible, Ping’an isn’t that scheming.

He’s always sincere with people!”

“But you are a tortoise!”

“I!”

Guilingling stamped her foot and scolded, “Master, you’re bullying me!

Oh no, bullying a tortoise!

I won’t bother with you anymore if this continues!”

“Hahaha!”

The Tongtian Sect Leader threw his head back and laughed heartily, using the laughter to cover up as he pondered carefully.

He said, “This is actually an opportunity for us.

Ping’an’s group needs aid, and we can give that assistance.

As long as they can offer us some extra Heavenly Dao merit, we’ll be able to protect a few more disciples during the future calamities.”

“Master,” Guilingling whispered, “They also said something about you severing an arm or the like, which means giving up some disciples with karmic obstacles.”

“The word ‘give up’ is said lightly, but my Jie Sect’s teaching is to give them a chance.”

The Tongtian Sect Leader’s eyes filled with a touch of helplessness as he slowly sat down on the steps, leaning back and said softly:

“When I, Tongtian, took them under my wing, I should do my best to protect them.

Over these long years, they have called me master, reverend, if I neglect them, wouldn’t I be going back on my word?

“The Three Pure Ones should not break their word.

“You can go back, continue to protect Ping’an.

“Guiling, remember, Ping’an is still in the midst of the chess game.

He will encounter situations where he must make sacrifices to protect himself.

“My Jie Sect will not miss this chance, but if he is not firm in his attitude and cannot be consistent to the end, then I, too, will seek him for his crime.”

Guilingling asked, “Should I relay this to him?”

“There’s no need,” said the Tongtian Sect Leader in a kind voice.

“Just judge for yourself.

I’ll wait for your summon shortly, remember…

at least stab through the palm of your hand; if you fear pain in your palm, the sole of your foot will do!”

“Eheheh, I’m afraid of pain!”

Guilingling made a playful salute:

“Disciple will now return to protect the Heavenly Emperor!”

With those words, she turned and flew off, swiftly disappearing into the cosmos.

The Tongtian Sect Leader clicked his tongue and muttered:

“A girl can’t stay for long, eh?

This little girl better not get truly swayed by Ping’an.”

…

Two days later.

In a hidden grand hall beneath the sea in a small world outside of heaven.

The Calamity venerable suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chiyou’s Demonic Body laid upon the altar in front.

A slight humming started, and Daoist Mosquito appeared swiftly, bowing before the Calamity venerable.

“Reporting to the venerable!

“According to the Asura clan’s chief sorcerer’s spell induction, Chiyou’s residual body was previously suppressed within the Xuanyuan Palace.

It was only the interference from the other five formations that had obscured the Sea of Blood’s sensing, which is why it had gone undetected before.

“But as I returned, Chiyou’s Demonic Body left the Xuanyuan Palace and entered the Holy Mother Palace, soon losing connection with the Sea of Blood.”

“Oh?”

The Calamity venerable slightly frowned and asked, “How was it severed?”

“It just…

the Asura chief sorcerer suddenly couldn’t sense it anymore…

Perhaps Nüwa intervened.”

“It’s unlikely,” the Calamity venerable said slowly.

“Xuanyuan Huangdi respects Nüwa, their relationship is like that of mother and son.

How could he reveal such an object to Nüwa, which is not only a remnant but also Chiyou’s posterior half?”

“I cannot judge.”

“You’ve had a hard time,” said the Calamity venerable with a more amiable smile on his elderly face.

“Go rest.

I’ll personally return for a visit.

It’s really inconvenient to operate without being able to use the divine calculation right now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Jade Cicada flew in from outside the hall, transforming into a young Daoist’s figure, who entered and bowed, saying hastily:

“Venerable!

There’s news!

“According to an informant inside the Xuanyuan Palace!

Xuanyuan Huangdi, enraged that Chiyou’s Demonic Body was stolen, intending to humiliate Chiyou, commanded Wealthy Immortal Li Dazhi to secretly hold a…

‘Chiyou’s Demonic Body Exhibition’ on an Immortal Isle in the East Sea in ten days!”

“What kind of meeting?”

“An Exhibition!

Entry tickets to the grand event cost three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!”

The Heavenly Cicada said quickly:

“As soon as the news was released, three hundred tickets were snapped up by the major sects of the East Continent.

Each ticket only admits two, and only men are allowed!”

“It’s just a trap.”

The Calamity venerable cursed with a laugh:

“If it were anyone else, it might be venting or shaming, but if it’s the Great Fate Holder Li Dazhi doing it, it’s nothing but bait.”

The Heavenly Cicada asked, “What should we do then…?”

“Don’t rush; playing along with them is also harmless.”

The Calamity venerable said slowly:

“Don’t underestimate the Great Fortune holders; they are difficult to deal with and very astute.

“Heavenly Cicada, go gather three hundred experts and lie in ambush in the Void outside the main world, wait for my signal.

“Mosquito, you are good at stealth; send a clone later to see if Chiyou’s Demonic Body is really at that event.

If it is, I’ll take action myself.”

Two great demons bowed simultaneously:

“Yes!”
