“Are you the Sea God’s incarnation?”
In the Sea God’s Temple in the southern city, the devotees were watching.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy that was disguised as an old immortal had just come out of the backyard when he was blocked by the yellow-robed old Daoist in the clouds.
The old Daoist priest looked a little anxious. When he saw Li Changshou, he quickly asked.
Li Changshou had already seen many senior experts, but… it was rare to see someone so anxious.
Li Changshou smiled and asked, “How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?”.
“Huang Long of the Jade Void Palace, are you the Sea God?”
Huang Long?
ve
Li Changshou’s Dao heart could not help but tremble. He used the paper effigy to observe the tall and thin old man in front of him. He immediately compared the aura he had sensed during the Three Sects’ Meet and immediately recovered his mental state. He already had an idea.
“It’s actually you, Senior Huang Long. I’m sorry! Senior, there are many mortals here. Let’s go somewhere else to talk.”
“Hey, quick, quick!”
Perfected Huang Long gestured for Li Changshou to leave and rushed to the back hall.
As for the local temple devotee and the two Divine Envoys of Xiong Village, they had already led the miscellaneous people in the temple to block the visitors in front of the main hall. They did not allow anyone to approach that place…
In the back hall, Li Changshou sized up Perfected Huang Long from a close distance. He felt rather emotional.
He was the only Saint of the dragon race who was on the God roll. He was the successor of the Ancestral Dragon’s bloodline… who was inferior to those below the Saint.
Previously, Li Changshou had thought about whether he should look for Perfected Huang Long to take action. At the crucial moment, he would stand up for the dragon race. That would ease the pressure on the dragon race…
He did not expect that before he took the initiative to look for Huang Long, Huang Long had already delivered himself to him.
Li Changshou did not hesitate and went straight to the point.
“Senior, you look flustered. Did something happen?”
Then, he added, “I’m the Sea God of the South Ocean. I’m here to collect incense offerings. I’m sorry, Senior.”
Huang Long said softly, “The incense merit is a good thing. What’s there to laugh at? Fellow Daoist, to be honest, I, I am… Yes, Junior Brother Zhao Gongming asked me to come over!”
Li Changshou could not help but twitch his lips. He smiled bitterly and said, “Could it be that Senior Gongming… has laid down in front of others again?”
Perfected Huang Long’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re a True God! You actually managed to deduce to this extent!
That’s right, he’s lying down again!”
“Could it be that he vomited blood?”
“Ah, yes…”
“I”
Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand. Just as he was about to complain that Master Zhao had gotten addicted to cheating, he felt uncomfortable all over that day.
Perfected Huang Long explained quickly, “Junior Brother Zhao Gongming injured two Fellow Daoists from the Western Sect in order to help me out. Then, he laid down…”
“Oh?” Li Changshou quickly asked, “Senior, do you mean that Senior Zhao is using this method to be righteous and helpful?”
“That’s right!”
Perfected Huang Long had a serious expression on his face. “At that moment, I had just recovered. The two people from the Western Sect are obviously trying to trick me! I do not have many treasures, to begin with. They are extremely vicious! Fellow Daoist, Junior Brother Gongming has reminded me to come over and ask for a brilliant plan. Please tell me quickly. I and Junior Brother Gongming will definitely be very grateful.”
Why does it feel like this person is… honest?
It should be an illusion.
It could only be said that this perfected Huang Long was extremely secretive. How could there be an honest person in the Primordial World?
Daoist Hongyun was just a beautiful accident in the Primordial World.
Li Changshou stood up and paced back and forth. He muttered to himself for a while before his silver hair swayed gently…
He hesitated.
He instinctively wanted to avoid that karma and send Perfected Huang Long to the Three-Immortal Island to seek help.
However, firstly, he had been ordered by the Saint to plot the matter of the dragon race entering the Heavenly Courts. If he were to take the opportunity to befriend Perfected Huang Long, he would be able to make some arrangements later.
Secondly, it would not be a good thing if Zhao Gongming was offended for no reason.
However, it was not a good thing to increase Zhao Gongming’s favorability towards him.
Thirdly…
Forget it. It’s time to tell the Western Sect and Zhao Gongming how to see through the scam. Where is the fatal flaw of this trick?
He could use that opportunity to make Master Zhao give up on that plan in the future. He could also sever all ties with this matter.
After some thought, Li Changshou stomped his feet and gritted his teeth. It was rare for him to make a choice that went against his will…
“Senior Huang Long, please bring me along. Tell me about this matter in detail!” “Well…”
Huang Long hesitated for a moment. He knew that if he let Li Changshou go with him, it would be equivalent to dragging Li Changshou into that karma. “Fellow Daoist, you can just tell me what to do.”
“This matter is complicated and extremely troublesome,” Li Changshou said. “Later, I will hide in your sleeve and not appear. Please conceal it for me. I will secretly inform Senior Gongming.”
“Sure!”
Perfected Huang Long nodded and agreed without hesitation. Li Changshou’s body swayed and turned into a thick paper Daoist. He entered Perfected Huang Long’s sleeve.
Perfected Huang Long was stunned for a moment. He praised, “Fellow Daoist, I have never heard of such a mysterious incarnation before.”
“I’m sorry, Senior,” Li Changshou replied with a smile.
Perfected Huang Long did not think too much about it. He used his immortal power to protect Li Changshou’s paper effigy. Then, he rushed out of the rear hall and soared into the sky. He turned into a faint yellow beam of light and flew towards the depths of the South Ocean.
Along the way, they passed through the clouds and fog. In the blink of an eye, they were thousands of kilometers away.
On the way, Perfected Huang Long quickly told the Sea God incarnation about his previous encounter.
Li Changshou muttered to himself and sighed in his heart…
The Western Sect probably wanted to plot against Perfected Huang Long so that he could leave the conflict of the dragon race and prevent Chan School from being implicated.
Indeed, the Western Sect had already decided to severely injure the dragon race on Ao Yi’s wedding day…
The plan that Daoist Wen Jing knew was probably just a part of the Western Sect’s overall plan. He had to reconsider before he could feel at ease.
No matter how strong Perfected Huang Long’s actual combat strength was and whether or not he would become a measure of the strength of an expert in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, his cultivation level was indeed unfathomable.
As they spoke, they had already rushed to the concealed array formation in the South Ocean. Perfected Huang Long broke through the array formation again and rushed in.
Li Changshou looked at the situation and almost laughed out loud.
The three disciples of the Saint collapsed on the ocean…
One of them was vomiting blood while the other was staring with their eyes wide open. The scene was strange, but there was an inexplicable harmony.
Master Zhao was fighting against two of them alone, and he had the upper hand. At that moment, he looked much worse than the two of them.
I, Daoist Changgeng, am willing to call you the king of fraud of the Primordial World!
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
There had always been a serious flaw in the trick that Li Changshou had given to Zhao Gongming. There was more than one flaw.
The reason that Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao were able to succeed repeatedly was that they were strong enough.
If it was anyone else, they would have been reduced to ashes.
This time, the two experts from the Western Sect thought that they would be able to defeat Perfected Huang Long by working together…
After Zhao Gongming appeared, there was actually no need for him to do anything. As long as he could testify for Perfected Huang Long, the other party would naturally retreat dejectedly.
However, Zhao Gongming could not bear to see his own friends suffer. In his anger, he injured the two of them. That made the situation a little difficult to deal with.
At that moment, the other party was filled with righteous indignation. They definitely did not want to let the matter rest. They had their Dao damaged and ended up in a sorry plight…
That increased the difficulty.
However, the disciples of the Saint could not be killed. It was impossible to use force.
On the way, a few tricks flashed across Li Changshou’s mind. They were all counter-attacks against fraud.
When he arrived, he had already chosen the safest plan. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Perfected Huang Long and Zhao Gongming…
That plan was known as taking-drastic measures-twisting-the-logic-and-the-Heav enly-Dao-clearly-swore-an-oath explosion method!
He muttered under his breath.
When Li Changshou saw that Perfected Huang Long was hesitating, he sent another voice transmission.
“If I really can’t handle this matter properly, Senior and Senior Gongming might be in trouble.
“The Western Sect is not easy to deal with, Senior.”
Perfected Huang Long nodded heavily. Only then did he make up his mind to plot against the two from the Western Sect.
He then said to Li Changshou, “I can’t cheat Junior Brother Gongming!” After saying that, Perfected Huang Long followed Li Changshou’s instructions. He looked angry and took the initiative to… help Zhao Gongming up. Zhao Gongming was still puzzled.
He had just heard the Sea God’s voice telling him not to speak and to observe the situation quietly. He would leave that matter to Perfected Huang Long for now…
Zhao Gongming stood up calmly and watched Brother Huang Long perform first.
“Ah!”
Perfected Huang Long walked on the waves and walked towards the two Western Sect experts. He raised his head and sighed. “When did I offend the two of you, Fellow Daoists?”
The two of them blinked continuously but could not move at all.
Perfected Huang Long continued, “Junior Brother Gongming, please take back the
pearl.”
“Huh?” Zhao Gongming was a little worried. However, Li Changshou reminded him again. He nodded and put away the Sea-Calming Divine Pill. The two Western Sect experts jumped up and glared at Zhao Gongming. “Zhao Gongming! You have ruined my Dao. I want an explanation for what happened today! Let’s go to the Green Touring Palace!” “There’s no need to go through so much trouble,” Perfected Huang Long said with a sigh. “Please, Senior Brother Gongming, follow me back to the Jade Void Palace. I’ll go and ask Master to handle this matter.”
The two of them were stunned. Why…
Why are they not following the routine?
Aren’t they the ones who are suffering the most now?
Perfected Huang Long made a white cloud and sighed. “Everyone, please go ahead. I’ll kneel before my teacher’s jade statue. Today, I will also invite my teacher out to make a decision on this matter. I hereby swear that I will bear the responsibility for Junior Brother Gongming’s injury! Even if my teacher kills me, I will not complain!”
A muffled thunder rumbled. It was the Heavenly Dao’s response.
The two Western Sect experts frowned. They realized that… they had lost the initiative.
Didn’t this Huang Long act like he was honest and not scheming?
How could he be different from before?
Li Changshou hid in Perfected Huang Long’s sleeve and could not help but smile.
The best way to restrain himself from attempting to cheat was to find the police, ahem… the Saint.
The trick was to make use of the fact that the other party would not be able to defeat him even if he fought. If he told others, he would be afraid of embarrassing himself. He would not want to make things known to everyone.
The reason he wanted to crack that trick was to convince the person who scammed, that the victim would rather self-destruct than suffer injustice…
Today, the two experts from the Western Sect were plotting against him. How could he hide it from the Saints?
At that time, he just had to take some steps and make that matter a reality. The two Western experts were trying to trick him, but they were not good at it. They were even injured by the victims’ friends.
The Western Sect’s Saints were definitely being embarrassed!
On the other hand, the two Saints from the West were in the wrong. They could only teach their own people a lesson behind closed doors…
The two old Daoists in tattered clothes looked at each other. Both of them had fear in their eyes, and they naturally thought of that.
Perfected Huang Long followed Li Changshou’s instructions and said, “Both of you, please come with me. Otherwise, we can also go to the Western Sect’s Spirit Mountain, the Green Touring Palace, and even the Heavenly Courts’ Tushita Palace. If both of you still find it troublesome, why don’t the three of us each swear a Great Dao oath? I’ll go first…”
Perfected Huang Long cleared his throat and bowed towards the sky from afar. He shouted, “I, Disciple Huang Long, pay my respects to the Heavenly Dao. If I had intentionally injured or plotted against these two Fellow Daoists before, I am willing to receive the punishment of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder!”
The world became peaceful.
The keyword was ‘before’.
Perfected Huang Long turned around and sighed. “Fellow Daoist, it’s your turn.”
“When did we promise you to make such an
oath?”
“Fellow Daoist Huang Long, we’re just… Forget it. We still have matters to attend to. It’s fine to not mention what happened today. Farewell!”
The two Western experts immediately retreated.
“Hold on!”
Zhao Gongming did not wait for Li Changshou to pass the message. He already understood how to cooperate Perfected Huang Long’s performance and immediately stood forward!
“Do the two of you not wish to make this oath today because you have a guilty conscience?”
The expressions of the other two changed. They were about to use their escape techniques, but at some point in time, the entire place had been completely sealed. The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls appeared in various places and rapidly suppressed them…
Perfected Huang Long, who was watching by the side, was a little stunned. However, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to his ears again…
“Senior, let’s just watch. We’ll let Senior Gongming deal with it later.”
Perfected Huang Long nodded calmly and observed quietly from the side. It was an eye-opener for him.
An hour later, the two experts from the Western Sect let out a sigh. They started to swear on a new oath template and swore to keep it a secret. They promised not to go out for the next 500 years…
The power of the Heavenly Dao in the South Ocean today was much stronger than usual.
