Chapter 683: Perfected Taiyi’s Lesson
A rough voice accompanied by a strong pressure came from the sky. The area within a thousand kilometers of Chentang Pass was filled with dark clouds. Violent winds swept everywhere. Trees broke and branches flew everywhere. Many mortal clothes that could not be put away in time were swept out of the courtyard wall.
More than ten old dragons circled and churned in the clouds. Li Jing’s voice echoed in Chentang Pass.
They did not hide anything and directly questioned him. They were all angry, causing the hundreds of thousands of mortals in Chentang Pass to feel uneasy.
In the backyard of the Li Residence, Little Nezha opened his eyes in a daze. Lady Yin, who had just walked to the window, hurriedly lowered the wooden window. She turned around and walked to the side of the bed. She gently patted him, causing him to quickly fall asleep again.
In the front hall, Li Changshou’s paper effigy had already disappeared. Li Changshou’s voice transmission had already landed in the ears of the three Perfected Ones of Chan School.
“If the dragon race attacks, we can rely on Chan School.”
Perfected Taiyi stood up and shook his sleeves. His eyes were filled with light.
That’s good.
Although he could not understand what that fellow was plotting, Li Changshou must have had a deeper plan since he said that.
Perfected Yu Ding stood up with a cold expression and walked to Perfected Taiyi’s side.
“There’s no need to be too afraid of the dragon race.”
Perfected Taiyi nodded calmly and sneered.
Today, he could set up any team!
On the main seat, Li Jing slowly took a deep breath. His hands, which were supported against the armrest of the chair, were bulging with veins. Two sword rays flashed in his eyes before he returned to silence.
He raised his sheathed sword and walked with his feet on the bow. His shoulder armor was accompanied by a long robe, and there was a blade on his face.
Li Jing walked out of the hall without saying a word. He looked up at the layers of dark clouds in the sky. He folded his arms in front of his sword and straightened his back. His clear voice surged with his immortal power and spread throughout the Chentang Pass!
“Li Jing of Chentang Pass is here.”
In the corner of the backyard, Li Changshou smiled faintly.
“Li Jing.”
Thunder rumbled again. The dark clouds that filled the sky began to slowly rotate. Just below the funnel-shaped dark clouds, an old dragon leader slowly extended from the clouds. Its diameter exceeded a thousand feet, and dragon whiskers kept dancing.
“Do you know your mistake?”
“Oh?” Li Jing lowered his arm and raised his sword in his left hand to look at the sky. He frowned and said, “May I know what position Fellow Daoist has in the Dragon Palace? Why did you come to my Chentang Pass and ask me directly?”
The leading dragon’s eyes were filled with coldness. He said coldly, “I’m an elder of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Your third son killed the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Are you still unaware of this matter?”
Li Jing nodded slowly. His originally calm tone was gradually tainted with emotions.
“If it’s about Ao Bing, I will naturally know. He ignored the heavenly rules and repeatedly came to my Chentang Pass to seek pleasure. He was stopped by my third son, Nezha, and formed a personal grudge with my third son. Today, he even set up an ambush in the East Ocean and used a killing array to deal with the child who had been born less than three years ago! Is this what the Dragon Palace did? This is the Dragon King bloodline of the dragon race, the heir of the Ancestral Dragon!”
“How dare you!”
“Nonsense!”
Azure dragons popped out of the clouds again. Following that, dragon heads popped out of the clouds and glared at Li Jing.
The weakest of the ten or so azure dragons was at the seventh-stage Golden Immortal realm. That was the foundation of the dragon race.
At that moment, the dragon race also left a path for retreat. They did not suppress the mortals in the city with their respective pressure. Otherwise, countless mortals would be destroyed.
Li Jing’s Dao heart trembled uncontrollably under the pressure. However, he gripped the scabbard in his hand tightly, and flames seemed to surge out of his eyes. He stood with his head held high and did not take half a step back.
“Li Jing.” The dragon elder in the middle cursed angrily. “Your third son killed my dragon prince. I will definitely make you pay with your life today! Kneel and beg for forgiveness! Otherwise, I will let the Chentang Pass be destroyed for my Crown Prince today!”
After the dragon finished speaking, a violent gust of wind blew in the world. The black clouds kept surging and the thunder kept coming.
“Chi...”
A chuckle sounded from the hall, but it easily covered the sound of the wind, thunder, and dragon roars.
The red-robed Perfected One slowly walked over from behind Li Jing. His long hair was exceptionally elegant, and his eyes were glistening. His expression was calm and composed, as if he was just passing by and watching a show.
His Dao name was Taiyi. He was known as the Yin-Yang master.
If a storm were to arise, it would tarnish the reputation of the Saint.
Perfected Taiyi walked over with his hands behind his back. He looked at Perfected Yu Ding, who was following beside him. He wanted to speak but felt that he would not receive the expected response, so he shifted his gaze to Li Jing.
He had an idea.
When he opened his mouth, it was half of the Primordial World.
“Boss Li, look. This is your fault.”
The dozen old dragons on the cloud were stunned.
Perfected Taiyi sighed and said, “Let me be fair. Let’s not look at the cause of the matter first. The human dragon race has lost a prince. What is this? This is the backup Dragon King! If the old Dragon King could not make it one day, the first two qualified to succeed the throne would die in battle. He would use this to replace him and become the new Dragon King. This is a high position and authority. The life of a dragon is equivalent to ten ordinary dragon sons! No, a hundred!”
The old dragons frowned when they heard that.
It seemed that their position was their position and logic was also theirs.
Why did they come here today to denounce him?
Wasn’t it just to highlight their status as the Third Prince and force Li Jing to confess on behalf of the human race? The dragon race naturally protected their pride.
However, no matter how he heard it, the words of the Perfected One from Chan School sounded a little strange.
The more he read it, the more interesting it seemed.
Li Jing frowned and said firmly, “Fellow Daoist, why do you say that? How can you not see the cause of the matter? The Third Prince of the dragon race had the intention to kill. He wanted to kill my son. My son fought back and won. He was lucky to survive. I did not go to the Dragon Palace to ask for an explanation. I was already thinking about the fishermen of Chentang Pass, who are neighbors with the East Ocean. How can that be?”
Perfected Taiyi said awkwardly, “After all, the Crown Prince died. That’s more important.”
Li Jing said firmly, “If that’s the case, isn’t it a crime for the prince of the dragon race to kill and commit arson for no reason?”
“Yes!” Perfected Taiyi said seriously, “That’s the Third Prince. What status does the Third Prince have? What identity? What’s wrong with killing a few people? What Heavenly Punishment? Do you really think you can control the Dragon Palace? The Heavenly Courts only had the opportunity to prosper because of the joining of the dragon race. The entire dragon race was born from the perfected Connate Dao! They had once helped the Pangu God. They had also beaten the Qilin of the phoenix race until they could not raise their heads. They had shattered the ancient Primordial World and collapsed the Nine Polluted Springs. How many living beings had died and how many sins had they committed? Aren’t they still a great race of the Primordial World? The saying that the main characters of the world are humans is just casual. It truly depends on the dragon race. Right? Everyone.”
How could the more than ten old dragons in the cloud not be able to react?
Perfected Taiyi’s words were sarcastic and he fanned the flames. He wished that the dragon race and the human race would fight head-on. Those words were true. The more he thought about it, the more ear-piercing it was.
“Perfected Taiyi.” The largest dragon head’s expression was extremely cold. “Are you done?”
“Why?”
Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Do you think I’m lying? The dragon race is burdened with endless sins. The Heavenly Courts helped you. Do you think you can do it again? The Primordial World was no longer ancient. Not to mention that my disciple killed the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace to protect himself. Even if the two of them fought over trivial matters and accidentally killed the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace, you have to consider whether you will be able to kill him!”
“Shut up!”
An old dragon was enraged. A dragon claw rushed out of the dark clouds and landed on Perfected Taiyi’s head.
The old dragon was considered the one with the highest cultivation level in the dragon race. At that moment, he attacked in anger. If Perfected Taiyi dodged or took it head-on, it would easily cause a calamity to Chentang Pass.
Perfected Taiyi could naturally take it, but he could not take it too beautifully.
However, it did not matter.
A green light flashed. A figure quickly condensed behind Perfected Taiyi. He waved his sleeve, and the dragon claw instantly collapsed. The old dragon in the cloud was sent flying.
A strong gust of wind surged upwards and dispersed a small portion of the dark clouds, revealing the dragon bodies of the azure dragons inside. The scales the size of a door flickered with various colors.
The dragon claw that had just attacked trembled continuously. It looked at the figure behind Perfected Taiyi in shock.
Perfected Yu Ding did not look up and said calmly, “My master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.”
There was silence on the other side of the door.
“Li Jing! I will not let today’s matter rest!”
The dragon head in the middle roared. The ten-odd azure dragons turned around and flew away. The dark clouds quickly retreated.
Perfected Taiyi shook his head regretfully.
He was not happy. He had originally prepared a pearl and was prepared to act out a scene where he would use the pearl to plead guilty. He wanted to sue them for not knowing how to appreciate favors.
Unfortunately, he left too quickly.
It was quite an honor.
“Phew...”
Li Jing slowly exhaled and stood there in silence. His back was drenched in cold sweat.
Perfected Yu Ding raised his hand and pointed at Li Jing.
Li Jing’s Dao heart stopped trembling. He felt more confident and immediately looked at Perfected Yu Ding gratefully.
“Li Jing, you have to increase your cultivation level,” Perfected Taiyi said calmly. “You can’t let my precious disciple protect you in the future.”
Li Jing hugged his sword and lowered his head to agree.
Perfected Yu Ding smiled and said, “You can also say that sentence just now.”
Li Jing was speechless.
That was a little embarrassing.
At that moment, the general and the two Perfected Ones of Chan School returned to the hall. Li Changshou’s paper effigy appeared again.
Perfected Huang Long, who had been hiding and could not appear directly, was also frowning and sighing.
He was from the dragon race and was also a disciple of the Saint of Chan School. At that moment, he was really trapped. He was in a dilemma and could not express his stand.
Huang Long sighed and said, “This matter is already so tense. I wonder how it will end.”
Li Changshou said warmly, “Senior Brother Huang Long, you don’t have to participate in this matter. Just watch from the sidelines. You just have to make peace at the crucial moment and prevent the dragon race from going to the extreme.”
Perfected Taiyi folded his arms and smiled. “What did I say just now?”
“Quite impressive.” Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up and said, “The dragon race came this time to suppress Li Jing and settle this matter. From the analysis of the dragon race’s motives, it was not important to avenge the Third Prince. What was important was that Nezha, who was from the human race, had killed the Dragon King’s bloodline. They can’t afford to be embarrassed.”
Yang Jian put away the three pointed, double-edged spear and asked, “The dragon race can’t vent their anger now. It will definitely be difficult to swallow this anger. We have to be wary of them attacking Chentang Pass.”
The person who refuted Yang Jian was Yang Jian’s master, Perfected Yu Ding.
“There’s no need to worry about that. It’s very difficult for the dragon race to launch a sneak attack. That’s their nature.”
“Master, it’s always good to be stable,” Yang Jian said. “Why don’t I go to Plum Mountain to bring some immortal weapons over? It can be considered a deterrence for the dragon race.”
Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction and smiled. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll arrange this. Before this matter ends, I will have to trouble the three Perfected Ones to secretly guard Chentang Pass in case any dragon race does not listen to the Dragon King’s orders and go out to plot.”
“Okay.”
“Yes.”
The three Perfected Ones nodded. Li Changshou bade farewell and left. The paper effigy burrowed into the ground.
At the same time, Li Changshou’s paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts had already begun to move. He rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment and found two important officials of the Heavenly Courts.
General Dongmu and General Wang Ling.
Li Changshou reminded them carefully. General Dongmu and Wang Shan nodded continuously. They understood what had happened and what they should do.
The Heavenly Courts were professional.
...
Ao Bing was killed. More than ten old dragons who had gone to Chentang Pass to demand an explanation were humiliated by the immortals of Chan School.
This matter was like a huge spiritual explosion. It erupted in the Four Seas Dragon Palace. The dragons requested to go to Chentang Pass to teach Nezha a lesson.
The four Dragon Kings remained silent. The elders with authority only sighed.
Half a month later, the internal attention of the dragon race did not fade. On the contrary, it became more and more intense and directly caused a commotion.
Ao Bing was unknown when he was alive. He did not have any presence in the dragon race. He was even privately called trash. The dragon king’s bloodline was much weaker than the other dragon kings.
However, now, Ao Bing seems to have become evidence of the dragon race being oppressed. He was the place for them to vent their anger.
The emotions kept surging, causing the Four Sea Dragon Kings to be unable to sit still.
They had to do something.
Hence, the four Sea Dragon Kings gathered at the East Ocean Dragon Palace and gathered the elders for a meeting to discuss how to deal with Nezha.
The victim of this matter was still the current Dragon King of the East Ocean, Ao Guang. The decision-making power of the dragon race was also in Ao Guang’s hands.
Ao Guang said, “Don’t be anxious.”
The entire Dragon race hall fell silent.
An elder said, “I’m not being impatient. Brothers, Chan School has gone too far. The clan cannot suppress the fire. The dragon race is no longer the same as before. Luck is rising again, and prosperity is ahead. If we are targeted by Chan School this time, the morale of the dragon race will probably be greatly defeated.”
“Your Majesty, I feel that we are indeed unreasonable... If we continue to be in a deadlock, we will suffer no matter what. It’s better to let the matter rest.”
“Let the matter rest? That’s the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace! He was killed by Perfected Taiyi’s disciple just like that!”
“Ah...”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed slowly and smiled bitterly. “My son should not have died so tragically. The Li family must pay a price.”
The Dragon King of the South Ocean said in a low voice, “The Li family is not simple. We all know that Li Jing is the godson of Lord Taibai Jinxing. He is from Ren School and is an in-name disciple of Perfected Du’e.
Li Jing’s eldest son, Jinzha, and second son, Muzha, had already become disciples of the twelve Golden Immortals.
We have to be careful after gathering the power of Chan School and Ren School.”
A senior elder snorted coldly. “We might not be afraid of Chan School!”
“Where’s Ren School?” the West Ocean Dragon King muttered. “I owe my life to Lord Taibai Jinxing. I should advise him about this. Lord Taibai Jinxing is flawless. He dares to compete with the Saint. If we don’t deal with this matter appropriately, it will be very easy to cause a series of events.”
“Why don’t we let His Highness Ao Yi go down and talk to Lord Taibai Jinxing? There are many complaints in the clan. We just want an explanation.”
“Yes?”
On the Dragon King’s throne, the Dragon King of the East Ocean opened his eyes. A cold glint flickered in his eyes. The elder could not help but shiver.
“No one can implicate Ao Yi in this matter.”
The old dragons lowered their heads and accepted the order.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed slowly and stood up. He said, “I’m prepared to give you a gift. I’ll go to the Heavenly Courts to report Li Jing for indulging his son and covering up for his son’s murder.”
The dragons pondered. That was a solution.
However, half a day ago, at the Li Residence in Chentang Pass...
Li Jing looked at the figure standing in the corner in shock and said softly, “Go to the Heavenly Courts? Godfather, why did Li Jing go to the Heavenly Courts?”
“Just come.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “If I’m not wrong, the Dragon King of the East Ocean is already on the way to the Heavenly Courts. I will keep an eye on Nezha. Quickly go to the Central Heavenly Gate. I have already arranged for someone to receive you.”
“Okay!”
Li Jing agreed firmly and did not dare to delay any further. He looked at the figure of Little Nezha playing with his wife and directly rode the flying numinous treasure towards the Central Heavenly Gate.
