My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 607 - King and Minister”

Chapter 607: “King and Minister”

Maitreya of the Western Sect, Guang Chengzi of Chan School, Daoist Randeng of Chan School, Chi Jingzi of Chan School, and the enthusiastic masses who cared for Tai Bai Yunxiao…
In the Great White Palace, Li Changshou sat quietly in the depths of the hall. Names and factions flashed through his mind.
He was guessing and deducing who was behind this.
Therefore, he knew too little. Li Changshou could not analyze the possibilities.
Originally, Li Changshou had wanted to get by.
The God-Conferment Tribulation was just ahead. The Heavenly Dao script had been set.
The Dao Ancestor’s meaning was very obvious. He wanted him, the person who was in charge of the Tribulation, to follow the instructions of the Heavenly Dao and fully experience the difficulties of the Heavenly Dao.
He only needed to fill the Heavenly Courts’ righteous gods and weaken the power of the living beings in the world. He did not have to consider anything else.
In other words, the Great Tribulation was not a small golden lotus that could be easily tricked.
However, the other party actually made an issue out of his relationship with Yun Xiao.
He was a wanderer of the blue planet. In his previous life, he had lived in a society ruled by law. In the era of peace, his life basically did not have any life-threatening dangers. After hurriedly going through his entire life, his consciousness was about to dissipate. For some reason, he had arrived in the Primordial World where mighty figures moved mountains and filled seas. Mortals’ lives were like grass.
The crisis of survival was already tragic enough. There was still Senior Lang who had become a legacy problem, causing him to be suspected by the Dao Ancestor.
Has he ever thought of going against the Heavenly Dao?
Ahem, he had once thought about it… Actually, he had thought about it. The main issue is the Golden Body of Merit.
However, Li Changshou knew that in the era after the Heavenly Dao was perfected, the objective conditions were not allowed to fight with the Heavenly Dao. The safest path was to leave the Primordial World after achieving his goal.
He finally steeled his heart and tried to take one step after another with Yun Xiao.
It really took a lot of effort to date a Connate mighty figure.
In the end, this relationship became a tool for others to use.
Li Changshou sighed slowly…
Was he not ruthless enough, or was he not stable enough?
Every day, he would save himself and carve his Dao heart.
The world is unpredictable and the truth is in the minor details.
The scheme this time had caught him off guard. After all, he was not a Saint and could not monitor everything in the world.
It was very easy to miss the true mastermind if he directly locked onto the Western Sect. He still needed to investigate further and obtain more information.
Simply analyzing the possible schemer behind it.
The most superficial part of his plan was the fact that he already knew on the surface. Some enthusiastic immortals of Jie School protected Yun Xiao and his relationship and made him draw a clear line with the fairy of the Moon Palace.
Li Changshou could not eliminate that possibility.
There were too many immortals from Jie School and too many people. Moreover, all of them valued relationships and righteousness. There might really be a few simple-minded people who would shout “I’m a smart, elegant ruffian” and cause such a thing.
That undoubtedly increased the difficulty of solving the case.
However, no matter what, even if it was really done by an immortal of Jie School, Li Changshou did not want to let it go easily.
Sometimes, he could make concessions. It was fine if he suffered a little loss. It would not affect his own interests.
However, Yun Xiao and Ling’e could not.
“Changgeng?”
Outside the hall, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Quan Dong, rushed over. Li Changshou activated the surrounding array formations and stood up to welcome him.
The two consciousnesses at the core of the Heavenly Courts’ power squatted in the corner of the Grand White Palace. They ate skewers and drank iced jade wine. They rolled up their sleeves and began to communicate quickly.
The Jade Emperor asked, “This matter is related to Fairy Yun Xiao. What do you think?”
Li Changshou said, “Your Majesty, in terms of selfishness, I want to blow things up. However, that might cause hidden dangers for the Heavenly Courts.”
“What hidden dangers can there be?”
The Jade Emperor snorted. “Did someone plot against Bian Zhuang or use your relationship with Yun Xiao to make an issue out of it? On the surface, they said that they were afraid that you and Heng’e would get too close. In fact, what happened? I’m mocking you for siding with Jie School because Yun Xiao wants to shake the foundation of your control of the Great Tribulation. Why don’t you tell them openly that we will be biased? We just like the Immortal from Jie School. What can they do?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I’m really touched that you can consider me that way. However, let me deal with this matter. I will think of a thorough solution. It will not only deter the weak but also protect the dignity of the Heavenly Courts. At the same time, I can vent my anger.”
“I’m deeply gratified that you can’t bear to do it this time.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “You’ve done so much for the Heavenly Courts. It’s time for the Heavenly Courts to do something for you. Tell me, what should I do? Don’t worry.”
“Make things big and do everything you can,” Li Changshou said. “Let the other party feel that the Heavenly Punishment is above their heads first. Your Majesty, you have to take action.”
“It’s a small matter,” the Jade Emperor’s incarnation said. “Write a memorial and I’ll read it.”
“Your Majesty, others might say that I’m controlling the Heavenly Emperor. You can use it yourself…”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation said seriously, “Minister Changgeng, you’re being lazy!”
Li Changshou put down the skewer in his hand and lowered his head. He cupped his hands and said softly, “Ah, yes. I’ll think about writing it now. Your Majesty, how much trouble can you accept?”
“Don’t alarm the Dao Ancestor.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Am I really not ruthless enough?
He had already fiercely formulated a follow-up revenge plan. The upper limit was not to alarm the Saints.
As soon as the Jade Emperor spoke, he instructed him not to disturb the Dao Ancestor.
Now, there was only one thing in the world that could make the Dao Ancestor appear—a battle between the Saints and the destruction of the Primordial World.
Why do I feel that the Jade Emperor wants to take the opportunity to join in the fun and make his existence known?
Li Changshou deliberated for a while and asked the Jade Emperor to take over the barbecue rack. He stood up and walked to the side. He set up a short table and wrote an informal memorial.
He was not in a hurry to find out if the immortal mountain that had suddenly appeared on the East Ocean was the Huaguo Mountain. That was just to satisfy his curiosity.
Although he, Taibai Jinxing, looked like he might have a relationship with the Monkey.
However, there were priorities. The most important thing now was to kill, ahem, find out who was plotting against him and Yun Xiao.
Fake Feelings: Just like Bian Zhuang, he talks about love and beauty. Every day, he clamors about wanting to find his destined fairy. In the end, he is fickle. He feels that this is not bad.
True Feelings: If you dare to use this as a threat, don’t blame me for not having a bottom line.
Hence, half a day later.
…
Clang!
Bang, bang, bang!
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the immortals of the Heavenly Courts gathered. All the immortals of the immortal realm were summoned. The Jade Emperor, who had been calm, suddenly kicked the table in front of him.
Under the platform, Bian Zhuang, who was dressed in a prison uniform and had tears all over his face, lowered his head and knelt.
Chang’e, who was beside Bian Zhuang, was lying on the ground weakly. There were no wounds on her body, as if she had been poisoned.
Of course, her life was not in danger.
Li Changshou was the one who had given her the poisonous pills. It could be considered a punishment for her. He would feed her the antidote pills after a while. That was so that she would not say anything during the entire process.
The first step of causing trouble was to be detestable.
“He’s rebelling! He’s rebelling!”
The Jade Emperor cursed. His white robe kept swaying as he paced back and forth on the jade table that he had kicked down.
“First, the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy was schemed against by someone. The person who schemed was actually Chang’e of the Moon Palace, who should have been pure and clean. Now! It had only been half a day! Chang’e had only been imprisoned in the Heaven Punishment Hall for half a day, but someone was already trying to kill her! They were trying to kill her! They tried to kill her openly! This is the Heavenly Courts! The Heavenly Courts, which had been established by the Heavenly Dao to control the order of the Three Realms! How audacious and lawless! The mastermind is brazen! Who can tell me what use the Heavenly Courts have? Who can tell me what the Heavenly Emperor’s function is!?! General Dongmu!”
“I’m here!”
General Dongmu shouted loudly and hurriedly took two steps forward. He knelt in front of the platform.
“Investigate! Investigate to the end! From today onwards, the Heavenly Courts will stop all unnecessary matters. All the immortals and gods are not allowed to take turns. The Heavenly Courts will investigate! If I can’t find any problems this time, I’ll use you guys to find problems!”
General Dongmu lowered his head and shouted, “I will follow your orders.”
The righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts in the first few rows lowered their heads and bowed. Many of them looked angry and said in unison, “We obey your orders!”
The Jade Emperor’s expression softened slightly. He said coldly, “The Bian Zhuang Residence is protected by heavy troops. Send this fairy to the Jade Pool. Long Ji will personally lead people to guard her. No one is allowed to approach! Where is Minister Changgeng?”
“Lord Taibai Jinxing has already led his troops to Chang’e’s house to rescue the hostages,” General Dongmu answered hurriedly.
The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and cursed, “He threatened Chang’e, schemed against the Heavenly Generals, and threatened the important ministers of the Heavenly Courts whom I trust the most! No matter who the mastermind is, I will not forgive him this time! Send orders to the Jade Pool! He sent someone to the Three-Immortal Island to deliver some treasures and apologize to Fairy Yun Xiao on behalf of Changgeng and the Heavenly Courts! The Heavenly Courts are in the wrong. Fairy Yun Xiao is such a gentle and virtuous female immortal. Changgeng had to endure the pain of longing for her for decades in order to host the Great Tribulation fairly. In exchange, he was suspected! Today, I will tell my beloved ministers that there is still a killing tribulation that has yet to descend. The disciples of the various sects know about this! However, I have long given Changgeng a decree. This decree is to prevent Yun Xiao from entering the calamity. It is considered a repayment to Changgeng by the Heavenly Courts. Changgeng is the main reason why the Heavenly Courts can have such a situation! Minister Changgeng does not need to affect the trend of the Great Tribulation because of his personal feelings. Those who only dared to hide in the dark and secretly attack others did not deserve to be the righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts! Their bodies did not deserve to exist in the world! Hmph!”
With a sweep of his sleeve, the Jade Emperor turned around and left. He disappeared from the platform, leaving a group of Heavenly Courts’ immortals looking at each other or feeling indignant.
General Dongmu stood up and turned around angrily.
“What are you waiting for? They would be on duty to protect the stability of the world! The other Immortal Palaces gather in front and search every corner of the Heavenly Courts!”
The scene of the Jade Emperor of the Lingxiao Palace cursing successfully ended. With Li Changshou’s support, the flames of public opinion began to burn fiercely.
The anger of the Heavenly Courts was known to the most Qi Refinement cultivators in the shortest time.
However…
The Jade Emperor had added too much drama.
Although it was a good thing and beneficial to him, the Jade Emperor did not greet him previously.
Forget it. This is the only big shot in the production team. The director has to bow and serve him.
In the Grand White Palace, Li Changshou’s main body moved out of the Little Qiong Peak. The paper effigies around him walked back and forth, and jade talismans kept flying.
On Kunlun Mountain, Du’e and the others, ahem, redo.
On Kunlun Mountain, Perfected Du’e brought Zheng Lun to the banquet again. This time, his expression was gloomy. He took the initiative to investigate and spread the news that he had “accidentally” learned.
In the various townhouses of the Middle Continent, the “information spreading immortals” that the Heavenly Courts had secretly nurtured began to wander around the various tea houses and Dao discussion venues.
In the trichiliocosm, in the territory controlled by the Immortal Alliance, there were a few immortals in each of the Chiliocosm. They took the initiative to talk about the huge matter that had just happened.
The Heavenly Courts’ General was schemed against and Chang’e’s family was threatened.
The Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Hall was angry that he had thrown poison to silence him.
This matter had already lost the control of the mastermind.
After all, the current Heavenly Courts were no longer the Heavenly Courts of the past. Their deterrence was close to that of the six Saints, and their influence was even greater.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy led a group of troops and “rushed” to Chang’e’s house. He swaggered and chased after them with all his might, showing the concern the Heavenly Courts had for every immortal.
Most of the Chang’e of the Heavenly Courts were actually selected from the trichiliocosm. To a certain extent, they were considered to be part of the Heavenly Courts.
Chang’e’s house was quite far from the Primordial World. The Heavenly Soldiers would fly there for at least two months.
However, the journey only took half a month.
This matter had already spread throughout the Primordial World. A nightmare was sent from the Immortal Alliance.
The family of Chang’e’s sister, as well as all her relatives, had been secretly killed by those who had schemed against them.
The Immortal Alliance searched every corner of the Chiliocosm where they could hide. Finally, they found some clues and found a valley.
However, when the few Immortal Alliance experts rushed over, the corpses of their relatives had already turned into ashes. There were faint spiritual energy fluctuations in the air.
If not for the remnant souls around him that could not be formed, he would not have been able to tell that someone had been killed.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart.
The Golden Roc was still too late.
According to his previous plan, he had already secretly told the Golden Roc the location of the Chiliocosm. The Golden Roc had extreme speed. As long as the other party did not receive the news so quickly, the chances of him being saved were still very high.
Unfortunately, Golden Roc’s extreme speed could not save those people.
The reason why he had instructed the Golden Roc to destroy the corpse if he could not save it in time was actually to deepen the other party’s crime and make the matter receive more attention.
At that time, Li Changshou had already set up a series of plans.
At that moment, the paper effigy led the Heavenly Soldiers to the Chiliocosm and sent the news to the five continents.
In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor was enraged again. The anger of the entire Heavenly Courts had been triggered.
This anger could erupt like a volcano, and it could also transform into a torrent that could drown a faction.
At that moment, the matter had already been completely settled. It was a serious provocation to the Heavenly Courts and ignored the Heavenly Dao. It rejected the new order set by the Heavenly Dao.
Normally, such living beings or factions would not end up well.
In the Grand White Palace, Li Changshou fell into deep thought.
At that moment, the clues were completely cut off. The anger of the Heavenly Courts had already been triggered. The person behind the scheme could not directly come to the Heavenly Courts to admit his mistake. Instead, he would hide even lower.
As for the direct clues, he could only see what good news the Golden Roc could bring back.
As for indirect clues, he could make a trip to the Reincarnation Pagoda later. Although Ksitigarbha had already sealed the pagoda, as long as Li Changshou’s main body went over, he could still forcefully squeeze in with the suppression of the Heavenly Dao sequence.
However, these…
It was not enough.
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. As his sleeves fluttered, a huge net seemed to have opened in front of him.
Li Changshou had actually arranged for the fairies of the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Courts to send gifts to the Three-Immortal Island. The subsequent developments were quite smooth. Everyone in Jie School began to pay attention to that matter.
Li Changshou did not want to plot against Jie School, but this matter had already implicated Jie School. No matter what, he could not escape.
If it was really done by a fool of Jie School, the scene of “selling in-name disciples to destroy Jie School” would probably happen again.
If someone used this opportunity to plot against Jie School in a bid to affect Li Changshou’s good relationship with Jie School, Jie School would suffer even more damage. The God-Conferment Tribulation would most likely be isolated and helpless.
The Jade Emperor officially said the “final killing calamity” in the Lingxiao Hall to create pressure for Jie School.
The Jade Pool Fairy went to the Three-Immortal Island to give a gift and apologize to Fairy Yun Xiao on behalf of the Heavenly Courts. She attracted the attention of the immortals of Jie School.
Li Changshou sent a jade token to the Luofu Cave. Zhao Gongming expressed his anger towards that matter appropriately…
Soon, the immortals of Jie School were filled with indignation. They began to investigate the matter internally. A few eldest disciples walked around the various Dao fields and secretly investigated all suspicious people.
In order not to take the blame, they had to catch the mastermind no matter what.
That was the second major faction that Li Changshou could mobilize.
The Heavenly Courts, Jie School, the deterrence of the Dao Ancestor, the sword of the Grandmaster of Heaven…
It was not enough.
After calculating the timing, Li Changshou’s main body left the Grand White Palace. He first went to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to meet the Jade Emperor and discussed the difficulties with the many immortals.
Without any clues, they could not fabricate it out of thin air. The immortals and gods were in a dilemma.
Li Changshou was naturally prepared. After discussing with everyone for half a day, he sighed.
“Your Majesty! I’m useless. I’ve embarrassed you. However, this matter had already attracted a lot of attention in the Primordial Three Realms. If it was left unsettled, the dignity of the Heavenly Courts would disappear. Please allow me to do something!”
“Tell me.” This was the first time the Jade Emperor spoke gently.
Li Changshou said firmly,
“Firstly, please send someone to the Fire Cloud Cave to seek the help of the peerless human sage, Senior Fuxi. Let’s see if we can deduce some clues from the River Diagram, Luo Shu. Secondly, I will go to the Nine Heavens Imperial Court and the Grand Pure One to ask Teacher about the mastermind!” The Jade Emperor had read the script and naturally knew what to say. He asked, “Minister Changgeng, why don’t you ask Senior Brother Taiqing directly?”
Li Changshou said, “Firstly, I don’t want to trouble Teacher because of this. Teacher likes to cultivate. Secondly, it would make people feel that Ren School had interfered too deeply with the Heavenly Courts. Teacher had once said that Ren School supported the Heavenly Courts for the sake of all living beings in the world and not because of authority. Therefore, to be safe, I will ask for an answer. However, unless we have no choice, we won’t be able to obtain any clues if we investigate normally. There’s no need for such an answer.”
The Jade Emperor smiled and nodded. The immortals heaved a sigh of relief and were a hundred times more confident.
Li Changshou bade farewell and rode a cloud towards the Nine Heavens.
The Heavenly Courts began to search the entire Primordial World. They used all kinds of methods and resources. With the Qi Refinement cultivator who killed Chang’e as their target, they began to search aimlessly.
Under the pressure, clues appeared intermittently.
When Li Changshou left the Grand Pure One Temple and had yet to stabilize himself, the Golden Roc rushed over from the corner and whispered, Teacher, I’ve been waiting for you for more than ten days.”
Li Changshou grabbed the Golden Roc’s arm and whispered, “How is it?”
The Golden Roc quickly reported, “I was a step too late. Chang’e’s family was killed, but I saved most of their souls and captured the Heaven Immortals who killed Chang’e’s family. According to Teacher’s instructions, I did not dare to use the communication jade token to report and made the decision to investigate. They are itinerant cultivators who accept Spirit Stones in exchange. They have many twists and turns. I’m useless. The clues are still broken.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and immediately said, “Go back and fly again. From the location, use your extreme speed to rush back. The more ostentatious you are, the better. Let the news out. Let’s say that you saved the souls of Chang’e’s family, captured the culprit at that time, and secretly investigated. Under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, you found clues about the mastermind. Remember to emphasize the guidance of the Heavenly Dao.”
Golden Roc’s eyes lit up. “Teacher, are you deliberately alerting the enemy to see if the clues can be connected?”
“No, I already have the answer.” Li Changshou pursed his lips and said calmly, “I just want that schemer to suffer and feel what despair is.”
