Chapter 282 - 282 281 Passing the Blame

282: Chapter 281: Passing the Blame 282: Chapter 281: Passing the Blame Atop Wangyun Mountain.

Ye Xuan was shrouded in Immortal Light, when with a faint smile, he came out of his thoughts and realized it was time to act.

He feared that the death of Changsheng Immortal Venerable, his soul scattered to the winds, had already been discovered by the people of the Chan Sect.

What Ye Xuan needed to do was simple.

He would frame the seventy-two Cave Demon Kings of Huaguo Mountain for the death of Changsheng Immortal Venerable, sparking a great war between the Heavenly Court and Huaguo Mountain.

Boom!

The Taiyi Golden Light shot up into the sky, to which millions of miles around could respond, and it sustained for a full ten breaths’ time.

When Ye Xuan’s Dharma Eye saw the sky filled with demon fog millions of miles away surging towards him, a cold smile curled on the corner of his mouth, and his entire being stealthily vanished into thin air.

…

At the same time, in the Heavenly Court, within Changsheng Immortal Palace.

Bang!

The Soul Token of Changsheng Immortal Venerable suddenly shattered to pieces, and the Daoist Child who guarded the token’s color drained from his face.

He screamed shrilly and, like a madman, ran out of the palace.

“Trouble…

big trouble has occurred!”

In an instant, chaos reigned in the Heavenly Court, and countless immortals from the Chan Sect lineage rapidly gathered at the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

Seeing the shattered Soul Token of Changsheng Immortal Venerable, each Immortal’s face turned grim, as an unimaginable murderous intent erupted around them.

If the Soul Token was intact, the Dao Fruit remained; if the Soul Token was broken, the soul was scattered and the Dao was extinguished.

Back in the years of the great gods’ war, an unknown number of immortals had fallen, and the people of the Chan Sect created the Soul Token to ascertain which of the Immortals had perished during cataclysmic events.

Not every Immortal possessed a Soul Token, but Changsheng Immortal Venerable, being a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, naturally differed from those lesser immortals.

His Soul Token was kept within the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

However, today, the shattering of his Soul Token proved that Changsheng Immortal Venerable had indeed met with disaster, an event that not only alarmed all the Immortals of the Chan Sect but also disturbed the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Inside the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

The Jade Emperor’s complexion was ashen, and his teeth clenched furiously, the sound audible.

The killing intent from the Immortals of the Chan Sect lineage swirled around, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere within Changsheng Immortal Palace.

The Jade Emperor could hardly wait to kill Changsheng Immortal Venerable himself, yet now he was restless and annoyed, as the death of Changsheng Immortal Venerable held him with inescapable responsibility.

Changsheng Immortal Venerable, a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, though his cultivation was mediocre, he was an old and esteemed Immortal and held great prestige among his peers within the Chan Sect.

As the saying goes, pulling one hair affects the whole body.

Changsheng Immortal Venerable was a venerable Immortal of the Heavenly Court, and if the Jade Emperor failed to provide a proper explanation to the Chan Sect, it was likely these disciples would become furiously unhinged.

“Where is the Heavenly Immortal Official of the Mystic Sky Realm?”

“Your servant is present.”

“Can the Mystic Sky Realm reveal where Changsheng Immortal Venerable met his end?”

The Jade Emperor looked towards the Heavenly Immortal Official with an iron-blue face, his voice trembling slightly, indicating the extent of his rage.

“Your Majesty, according to the guidance of the Mystic Sky Realm, Changsheng Immortal Venerable perished in the Lower Realm,” stated the Heavenly Immortal Official, pale-faced and holding a bronze mirror, hastily responding.

“Where is the Pagoda-Bearing King?”

“Your servant is present.”

“I order you to assemble one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and descend to the Lower Realm.

You must find out who harmed him.”

“Your Dharma Decree will be obeyed, Your Majesty!”

Li Jing’s expression was solemn as he quickly left Changsheng Immortal Palace, calling upon the Four Great Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Nine Luminaries, along with one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers gathering before the South Heavenly Gate.

“Jade Emperor!”

Suddenly, a thunderous roar shook the heavens, and a sky filled with fiery clouds rolled in, with the endless void buzzing explosively.

Before the Group of Immortals and the Jade Emperor could react, they saw a handsome youth, riding the Wind and Fire Wheel and wielding the Fire-tipped Spear, charging toward the Changsheng Immortal Palace.

Nezha!

The Great God of the Three Altars of the Sea, who apprenticed under the Taiyi True Lord, one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, and stood out among the third generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

His cultivation was that of a Luotian Mystic Immortal, only slightly below his senior brother Yang Jian.

Boom!

Nezha descended upon Changsheng Immortal Palace, his handsome face extremely pale with rage.

He glared at the Jade Emperor and bellowed, “Jade Emperor, Changsheng, as a Great Immortal of the Heavenly Court, has actually died in the Lower Realm.

If you don’t give me an explanation for this, I will never rest.”

Under normal circumstances, Nezha wouldn’t be so disrespectful, since the Jade Emperor is, after all, the ruler of the Three Realms.

But Nezha’s affection for Changsheng Immortal Venerable ran too deep.

The death of Changsheng Immortal Venerable had driven him mad, and any last shred of respect for the Jade Emperor had vanished at that moment.

Not just Nezha—the whole Chan Sect’s Group of Immortals had an ominous look.

Were it not for restraining the anger in their hearts, they would certainly have turned against the Jade Emperor.

“As the ruler of the Three Realms, I will not let off anyone from the Lower Realm who dares to kill Changsheng Immortal Venerable.

No matter who he is, I will not forgive him.

I ask you, Immortals, to lament with restraint.”

The rage of the Chan Sect Immortals was not something the Jade Emperor could not endure, but rather, he could not afford to endure it because this would lead to chaos in the Heavenly Court and would make beings from all Three Realms laugh at him.

If it prompted the emergence of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, his reputation would plummet.

“Nezha, your father has already led one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to the Lower Realm.

However, anyone capable of killing Changsheng Immortal Venerable surely possesses impressive cultivation.

He will need your help,” the Jade Emperor said with authority.

Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars of the Sea, wasted no words.

He mounted the Flying Fire Wheel and headed straight for the South Heavenly Gate.

No matter who had killed Changsheng Immortal Venerable, he intended to extract a price beyond imagination.

South Heavenly Gate!

One hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Nine Luminaries, the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Four Great Heavenly Kings had already assembled before the South Heavenly Gate.

The Pagoda-Bearing King, Li Jing, holding the Seven-Colored Linglong Tower and a waving Magic Flag in the sky, summoned the Yellow Turban Strongmen to beat the war drums, while a blanket of golden clouds appeared beneath the feet of the one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers, seeking to move majestically towards the Lower Realm.

…

Xiong Li, one of the seventy-two Cave Demon Kings of Huaguo Mountain and known as the Great Strength Bear King, had a cultivation within the realm of the Taiyin Mystic Immortal, and his position among the Cave Demon Kings was very much toward the end.

Today, it was Great Strength Bear King’s turn to lead ten thousand Little Demons in patrolling a territory spanning tens of millions of miles.

What puzzled him was that within Wangyun Mountain, Immortal Light pierced the sky, stirring displeasure in his soul.

Unsure of which Immortal would dare to so publicly display their cultivation in the territory of Huaguo Mountain, this led him to bring tens of thousands of Little Demons rushing toward Wangyun Mountain.

Huaguo Mountain, home of the seventy-two Cave Demon Kings.

Within tens of millions of miles of territory, all belonged to them.

Even the Immortals from the Heavenly Court were disregarded when it came to Huaguo Mountain, as they shared an extremely close relationship with the Great Saint from ancient times.

For thousands of years, the Great Strength Bear King had been comfortable, indulging in drink and pleasure with fellow Demon Kings on Huaguo Mountain.

Even Immortals from the Heavenly Court that encountered him would call him a Daoist, which only inflated Xiong Li’s sense of pride.

As the Great Strength Bear King led ten thousand Little Demons to the peak of Wangyun Mountain, what he saw made his complexion drastically change.

He saw that atop Wangyun Mountain, a large number of Little Demons lay dead, and a pool of golden blood stained the summit, glaringly bright at a glance.

This golden blood was clearly that of an Immortal.

Just as the Great Strength Bear King was puzzled, he saw the Heavenly Vault above blocked out by a golden light, with the thundering sounds of war drums echoing in all directions.

One hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were already advancing toward Wangyun Mountain.
