Chapter 712: Using Mosquitoes to Scheme Against Golden Lotus

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What did Senior Brother do previously? Why does he seem so tired? I didn’t even say much to him.

On the way to the chess room, Ling’e carried the empty jade tray and rode a cloud slightly above the ground. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the corners of her mouth.

In the chess room, Xiong Lingli was “simulating immortal life” with the Big Sister of the Chaos Bell. There were a large number of items that the two of them could play at the side.

As soon as Ling’e approached, Zhong Ling chuckled.

“Why are you back so soon?”

“Senior Brother needs to rest. Ah…”

Ling’e sighed softly. Only then did she remember to put away the tray and sit beside the short table. She placed her hands under the curtain of the short table and placed her face on the table made of warm jade.

Ding ~ Your brother’s balance is insufficient.

Zhong Ling smiled and shook the wooden box in her hand. She said calmly, “I’m not asking you to take the initiative to help your senior brother bathe or something. You don’t even know how to coax men.”

“Hmph!”

Ling’e rolled her eyes and looked at the other side. Her meticulously combed hair trembled slightly.

“Senior Brother and I are not what you think.”

Zhong Ling smiled and squinted. Xiong Lingli, who was at the side, made a face and looked like she understood.

Zhong Ling said, “Ling’e, your senior brother should indeed be tired. After all, he went out to compete with the Saint previously. I don’t know why he went out previously.”

“Saint?” Ling’e immediately became nervous.

“He was killed by your senior brother and Zhao Gongming.”

Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and lay on the short table listlessly.

Today, she could not be energized at all.

“Why is that reaction?” Zhong Ling was puzzled. “Although my tone is very calm, this is a matter of the Primordial World! Six Saints have become five Saints!”

Ling’e said, “Wow, that’s impressive… Actually, it’s good that Senior Brother is fine.”

Zhong Ling rolled her eyes in anger. “You should really go out and take a look at this world. All you do is think about your Senior Brother every day. There’s still a long time in the future. Don’t you think it’s boring?”

“Hehehe.”

Ling’e squinted and chuckled. Suddenly, she thought of something and glared at Zhong Ling. “But Sister Zhong, didn’t Senior Brother swear not to use you? Why did you follow him out?”

“He didn’t use me.” The Chaos Bell Spirit snorted. “I went there myself. I didn’t touch any of your senior brother’s Dharma powers. He dislikes the Saints of the Western Sect and wanted to go against them. What’s wrong with that? I find Zhao Gongming and Jin Ling pleasing to the eye. I want to stop above their heads by chance and help them block the attacks and transmit fire. What can the Heavenly Dao do to me? Huh?”

Ling’e was speechless.

Senior Brother’s various additional terms regarding the Heavenly Dao oath were indeed far-sighted and necessary.

Yes, it’s time to draft the wedding oath. I’ll give him 30,000 words!

“However,” Zhong Ling’s expression turned solemn. “Don’t wander around later. It’s more convenient when I bring you to escape on the Little Qiong Peak. Now, the Five Saints have completely lost their restrictions on the Heavenly Dao. Although your senior brother has some trump cards that no one can understand, he can’t resist the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is only afraid of him, not afraid.”

Ling’e immediately became serious. She pinched her chin and pondered for a while. She said softly, “Actually, I have a question that I haven’t understood. Can’t the Heavenly Dao deduce endlessly? Why did it let Senior Brother cultivate to such an extent and never suppress him? Why didn’t it arrange some disasters for him in advance?”

“How should I know?”

Zhong Ling thought carefully and looked in the direction of the Pill Chamber.

“I really investigated this matter. When I was at Little Qiong Peak, I took the time to look forward and realized… Your senior brother is not coming out! What kind of calamity could he have!?! The Heavenly Dao did not ask anything and directly struck the Little Disciple of the strongest Saint? Now, I can’t even tell which is his main body and which is his paper effigy. I won’t be surprised if he suddenly flips the table and shouts for the Little Qiong Peak to transform.”

Ling’e widened her eyes. “Sister Zhong, can you even see that? The last time Senior Brother transformed the Little Qiong Peak, he was clearly hiding from the heavenly secrets!”

“Huh?” Zhong Ling tilted her head.

Ling’e frowned and felt that she had said something else. She placed her forehead on the table guiltily and pretended to fall asleep.

In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou smiled slightly. He did not listen to the fight between the female immortal and the female treasure.

At that moment, he did not want to think too much. He only tried his best to spread his thoughts and let himself be immersed in this world, feeling the interaction between the Great Dao and the Great Dao.

Li Changshou hummed a light tune and tried to relax and not be too nervous.

It was a balance of work and rest.

Although he was approaching death, he was still confident.

At that moment, 70% referred to the chances of success and not survival.

If the latter had not arrived at 98% first, Li Changshou would not have thought too much about the matter.

No matter what he wanted to do, he had to ensure that he lived. That was the essence of stability.

…

Buzz…

A mosquito buzzing floated past the spiritual mountain that was missing most of the peak. Wen Jing appeared in front of a cave abode that was covered in layers of light halfway up the mountain.

At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing’s red dress was mixed with golden threads. Her originally beautiful face looked even more holy because of the golden color on her forehead.

She raised her hand and gently waved her thin wide sleeve. In front of the Cave Abode, the two Primordial Beasts in human form immediately bowed.

“Commander, come back…”

“What commander!?! You have to call him the Deputy Sect Master!”

Wen Jing frowned slightly and looked at the two figures. She snorted softly and slowly walked in.

“Have you done what I asked you to do?”

“Yes, yes.” The two ferocious beast experts answered respectfully. They were deferential.

Wen Jing nodded and said calmly, “Go back to your Cave Abodes to cultivate. I’ll give you credit. Remember, now is the time for the Western Sect to hibernate. Apart from the things I handed to you, don’t do too much and don’t hurt more mortals. When the time comes, the Western Sect will have a chance to rise.”

The two ferocious beasts cupped their fists in unison and said in unison, “The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao will prosper the Western Sect!”

“Go.”

“Okay!”

The two ferocious beasts turned into streams of light and quickly disappeared at the foot of the Spirit Mountain. Daoist Wen Jing snorted softly and walked into the Cave Abode.

After closing the layers of array formations, Daoist Wen Jing could finally heave a sigh of relief.

With a wave of her hand, the thin dress on his body flew towards the clothes rack. Before she knew it, she had already entered the spiritual spring pool and lay comfortably in the water.

Mosquito habits, mosquito habits.

“Ah…”

I am really only one obstacle away from the Western Sect’s leader, the Saint!

Has Lord Taibai Jinxing forgotten about me?

Have I not gone to the Sea God Temple frequently enough or is my waist not slender enough? Could it be that I am destined to be abandoned by Second Consort after choosing the Eldest Consort back then?

At least tell me what to do!

Even if I have to sneak an attack on the Saint, he should give me a definite answer, right?

In the past, Wen Jing felt that her mission was to provide information for the Sea God.

In the end, she was taught a lesson by the Sea God and hinted that she had an even more important mission.

Wen Jing felt very excited. Apart from joining Ren School and hugging the toes of the strongest Saint in the world, she also felt proud that someone had finally discerned talent.

Later on, Wen Jing felt that her mission should be to stab a disciple of the Western Sect at the crucial moment.

In the end, the Western Sect was crippled by the Water God. First, their sect was smashed a few times, and the legend of the Saint was broken. Then, more than half of the Western Sect was destroyed by the immortals of Jie School, leaving only broken walls, old, weak, and disabled.

Wen Jing felt very panicked at that time because her only mission was to ambush the Saint at the crucial moment.

But now, the Saint is dead!

What does Ren School want me, the queen to do!?!

Could it be…

“Changgeng, plant a secret pawn in the Western Sect and use it at the crucial moment.”

“Yes, Teacher. What exactly is the crucial moment?”

That is to use it at a crucial moment.

“Pfft, ahem, ahem!”

Daoist Wen Jing covered her chest and coughed.

Can you give me a quick death!?!

The earlier she finished, the earlier she could escape. She could go look for her “concubine” and ask shyly, “Brother Xuan Du, did I come at the wrong time?”

Then, he said, “No, you came at the right time.”

“Hehe.” Daoist Wen Jing turned around and sat in the pool. She squinted and laughed non-stop.

However, she really should consider what mission Lord Taibai Jinxing had given her in the beginning.

Wen Jing had a faint premonition that she was not just an important part of an incident. The Lord Taibai Jinxing had been hiding her, a pawn, and did not move. It was very likely that he had a plan that was more terrifying than killing the Saint.

It’s even possible that it is… it is…

Forget it. I can’t think of anything. This is beyond my understanding.

Instead of thinking that way, I might as well ask Lord Taibai Jinxing.

The two Saints of the Western Sect had been killed. Those on the spiritual mountain, who were already gloomy, became extremely dejected.

The disciples of the spiritual mountain were even unwilling to leave their cultivation grounds. Some of the experts who had escaped from the trichiliocosm had already used the excuse of going out to train and did not plan to return.

The spiritual mountain, which was originally the fourth sect in the world, was now… still the fourth sect in the world.

However, things are different now.

Especially after the Great Saint returned this time, he immediately called her over to listen to the lecture. The dejection, helplessness, and sorrow in the Great Saint’s eyes made her feel shocked.

The Great Saint had already entrusted the overall planning and operation of the spiritual mountain to her, the first Deputy Sect Master.

If she secretly manipulated it, it would be easy for the Western Sect to fall apart.

It seems that I have to talk to the Second Consort.

Wen Jing pondered carefully for a while and sat cross-legged in the pool. She was extremely vigilant as she sensed all the changes in her surroundings. With her mystical abilities, she controlled a Blood Mosquito and floated to the rear hall of the Sea God Temple in the South Ocean’s Anshui City.

It was an old place.

The Blood Mosquito entered the place enveloped by the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting and turned into a delicate young girl dressed in an emerald-green dress.

Li Changshou heard a voice transmission. The paper effigy floated out from the side of the Saint’s brush and ink in the rear hall and transformed into a young Daoist. He sat on a round chair.

“What is it?”

Daoist Wen Jing walked forward gracefully and said gently, “Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing. I didn’t do anything else. I’m just here to congratulate you on taking revenge and establishing an extraordinary reputation.”

Li Changshou frowned slightly and seemed to be dissatisfied. He said, “Just because of that? Now is the time for you to calm down and hide. If you make any mistakes, all your previous efforts will be wasted and you will regret it!”

Daoist Wen Jing’s Dao heart could not help but tremble. She did not dare to say anything. She lowered her head and bowed.

“Lord, don’t blame me. I’m really afraid. I don’t know how to deal with myself. That’s why I came to ask you to guide me. Lord! Just tell me what I have to do! You have already killed the Sixth Saint. I am now in charge of the Western Sect. I have to deal with both inside and outside. I really don’t know how to hide! I’m really confused.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Alright, it was about time.

If the situation extended towards the third to twelfth possibilities that he had deduced, he would really have to tell Daoist Wen Jing in advance when to attack and what to do.

Li Changshou said slowly, “Wen Jing, it’s been hard on you all these years.”

Daoist Wen Jing could not help but tremble.

Why does he sound like he’s about to kill me?

Li Changshou said warmly, “I know that you have been enduring hard all these years, but the time has indeed not arrived. You are also extremely crucial.”

Li Changshou summoned the Taiji Painting and enveloped Daoist Wen Jing.

“Wen Jing, I trust you not because you swore a Heavenly Dao oath or because I have something against you. I don’t treat you as an outsider in my heart. You also know that my master, the Grand Pure One, has already approved of a romance between you and my senior brother. Of course, my senior brother does not know the details yet, but that is not important. What Ren School needs you to do is a matter of great importance and an extremely long-lasting influence. It is not as simple as killing a Saint. It is a game of teaching, philosophy, and the Great Dao. Do you know that there is a saying in ancient times that the Western Sect will definitely prosper?”

Daoist Wen Jing’s eyes were filled with light. She said gently, “Thank you for your trust, Lord Taibai Jinxing. I know.”

In reality, he was going crazy.

Tsk! The Western Sect has clearly collapsed. I’m not stupid. I definitely chose to follow Ren School’s path to the end. That’s why I told you all that! Ren School is evil!

However, hehe, I’m the same.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t speak nonsense in your heart.”

Wen Jing was shocked. She lowered her head and closed her eyes.

Li Changshou pursed his lips. He was right.

Wen Jing had always been good at scheming.

Li Changshou said slowly, “Previously, Jie School destroyed 90% of the Western Sect’s strength. It actually conformed to the Heavenly Dao’s expectations for the Western Sect to be tempered. The Heavenly Dao follows the rules. It means that if you want to take on a huge responsibility, you have to bear the weight first.”

“The Western Sect actually still had a chance to revive in the future. This concerns the Heavenly Dao and the Western Sect. It’s a scheme that has been around since ancient times.”

“I was ordered to break this situation. Wen Jing, what I need you to do is actually very simple. As long as you hear the news that the Human Emperor is about to collapse in the South Continent and that Chan is about to fight the decisive battle, and that the Great Saint of the Western Sect is about to go out, ask forward if you want to help Chan School. If the Great Saint answers you or says yes, you can think of a way to deal with it and wish him success. At that moment, I need you to calculate the timing. When the Great Saint can’t move, go and find the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of the Western Sect…”

Daoist Wen Jing could not help but hold her breath and listen to Li Changshou’s words.

“Destroy it.”

Daoist Wen Jing stood on the spot in a daze and quickly heaved a sigh of relief.

“Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?” Daoist Wen Jing whispered. “I was in charge of guarding the golden lotus previously. I even had to wipe the petals of the golden lotus and offer incense every day.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Ahem, it’s mainly about timing. I naturally believe that you have the strength to be close to the golden lotus. The timing is very important. You have to strike when the Great Saint goes out in the future. I predict that he will use the Divine Pagoda to fetch a large number of disciples from Jie School and enter the Western Sect. That’s the foundation of their prosperity. At this crucial juncture, their golden lotus collapsed. The Western Sect has to face the predicament that Jie School had faced previously. It would be easier for me to use the schemes that Teacher and I had planned in the future. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes!”

Daoist Wen Jing smiled like a flower. “You should have said so earlier. I feel much more at ease.”

“This matter is extremely important. At that time, I will naturally ensure your safety,” Li Changshou said. “However, don’t expose this secret even if you die previously. If you wear the golden lotus on your body, I can only think of a way to kill another Saint.”

Wen Jing’s smile froze. She lowered her head and agreed. Her body turned into a handful of blood sand and dissipated.

Li Changshou sat there and pondered for a while. His body entered the ground.

Indeed, when one was stronger, they would be unyielding.

Actually, it’s not a bad idea to snatch the golden lotus… Forget it. To be safe, I’ll just destroy it. At that time, I’ll let Wen Jing absorb a few more mouthfuls and turn it into an incomplete fourth-grade Connate numinous treasure. Only then will it be beautiful.

The Western Sect has done so many evil deeds and bewitched the human race. Do they still want to suppress their desires first and sharpen their desires first?

Damn it!
