All His Schemes Come to Nothing
But when one plan failed, Master Taiyi Zhenren devised another.
The Heaven-Shaking Bow a precious treasure of the Human Race and cannot be used lightly. However, the East Sea is teeming with Dragon Princes and Grandsons. Since we cannot send you to disrupt the relationship between the Human Race and the Interception Sect, we might as well send you to provoke the Dragon Clan.
After Taiyi Zhenren finalized his plan, he began taking Nezha to the seaside every few days to find an excuse to kill a few Dragon Clan.
However, after the incident with the Heaven-Shaking Bow, Nezha's wariness towards Taiyi Zhenren has increased significantly.
Each time, he would refuse to go to the beach, citing his impending breakthrough in cultivation as the reason.
Taiyi Zhenren was furious, but he couldn't force Nezha.
After all, he was currently in Chentang Pass, a vital Human Race, and his cultivation was only at the Taiyi Realm. If things really got out of hand, there could be as many as a hundred Taiyi experts in Chentang Pass, and he definitely couldn't defeat them.
On this day, Taiyi Zhenren foresaw that the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace would go out to sea to play on the surface of the East Sea, which immediately stirred Taiyi Zhenren's interest.
If Nezha were to kill the Third Prince of the East Sea, the relationship between the Human Race and the Four Seas Dragon Clan would definitely deteriorate to an extreme degree.
Unfortunately, as soon as Nezha saw Taiyi Zhenren arrive, he immediately announced that he was going into seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier, which infuriated Taiyi Zhenren to the point of being speechless and furious.
Meanwhile, the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace had already set sail and was having a great time playing on the sea.
Taiyi Zhenren couldn't bear to miss such a golden opportunity. He glanced at Nezha, who was in seclusion, and turned to leave, preparing to take the stage himself.
The treasures in Nezha's possession were all bestowed upon him personally by the Taiyi Zhenren, so naturally he could reclaim them. In addition, since Nezha was currently in seclusion, all the treasures were stored in his bedroom.
Taiyi Zhenren casually grabbed all the treasures, then transformed into the appearance of Nezha and headed straight for the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Taiyi Zhenren was focused on a swift victory, so upon arriving near Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the East Sea, he launched a fierce attack, hurling down a pile of treasures that instantly Soul and Spirit Annihilation Ao Bing's soul and spirit.
Then Taiyi Zhenren turned and left, unaware that Fuxi had already broken the transformation spell on his body, and Taiyi Zhenren instantly revealed his true form.
Now, whether it was the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals and crab generals serving Ao Bing or Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea who was rushing over after realizing that his third son had been killed, they all clearly saw that the Human Race child who had killed the third prince had suddenly transformed into the famous Taiyi Zhenren, Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect Taiyi Zhenren of the Chan Sect.
At this, Ao Guang instantly flew into a rage and roared, "Taiyi Zhenren, my Dragon Clan has never had any feud with your Chan Sect, why did you forcibly kill my son?"
"Huh?" Ao Guang's roar made Taiyi Zhenren pause. Upon closer inspection, he immediately realized that his transformation technique had been broken at some point.
He was neither Nezha nor the unfamiliar Taiyi cultivator who taught Nezha, but his true self.
Taiyi Zhenren panicked and quickly tried to figure out who had broken his transformation technique.
As for Ao Guang before him, Taiyi Zhenren was completely unconcerned. Even though he had just killed Ao Guang's offspring and was being questioned by his father, Taiyi Zhenren didn't care. As a disciple of Sage, why should he care about a mere Taiyi Dragon Clan member from the Four Seas Dragon Clan?
He turned and left without paying any attention to Ao Guang.
Taiyi Zhenren's arrogance instantly angered Ao Guang, but Ao Guang knew he was no match for Taiyi Zhenren, so he went directly to the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan to complain to the Dragon Clan ancestors, Qinglong and Yinglong.
Azure Dragon and Ying Long are the legacy of the Dragon Clan from ancient times. Both are Quasi-Sage and the true decision-makers of the Dragon Clan.
It was their idea to have the Dragon Clan join the Heavenly Court.
After entering the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land, Ao Guang charged recklessly, crying as he ran towards the two patriarchs, saying, "Patriarchs, the Chan Sect has truly gone too far!"
"We, the Four Seas Dragon Kings, have always been diligent and conscientious in the Heavenly Court, never daring to contradict the Chan Sect Disciple. Yet now, that Taiyi Zhenren, without even asking why, beat Ao Bing to the Soul and Spirit Annihilation in front of everyone."
"Then he simply turned and left, without even leaving a word."
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! He's completely disregarding our Dragon Clan!"
Azure Dragon and Ying Long exchanged a glance. They had seen everything and naturally knew what Taiyi Zhenren's purpose was in this operation. He wanted to frame the Human Race, but the Human Race had broken his Divine Ability first.
But what Ao Guang said is not wrong. The Heavenly Court is now planning to use the Dragon Clan as a pawn in its war against the Human Race.
Since that's the case, why not abandon the Heavenly Court?
The two Dragon Clan Ancestors had an idea in mind and quickly tried to comfort and console Ao Guang, who was grieving the loss of his beloved son.
Inside Chentang Pass, the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan did not attract the attention of Taiyi Zhenren.
On the contrary, the sudden failure of the transformation technique undoubtedly frightened Taiyi Zhenren.
He felt that he might have been targeted by the Human Race, so he felt that he could no longer let Nezha run rampant and wait like this.
Since Nezha wouldn't draw the Heaven-Shaking Bow, he simply took Nezha to Skull Mountain to find Shi Ji Niangniang.
Upon arriving at Skull Mountain, Nezha realized the situation was not right and quickly called out again that his cultivation had made progress and he was about to break through, so he needed to return to seclusion for further cultivation.
But Taiyi Zhenren had already brought the person along, how could he let Nezha leave like this?
Nezha doesn't lift a finger, he'll do it himself; this would be even better if Nezha went into seclusion.
Taiyi Zhenren casually created a space and placed Nezha inside for secluded cultivation to break through his cultivation barrier. Then, he took Nezha's Magic Treasures, transformed into Nezha's appearance, and rushed into the White Bone Cave to cause trouble for Shi Ji.
This time, he specifically checked his own transformation techniques and found no problems.
However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Taiyi Zhenren acted swiftly this time. As soon as Shi Ji Niangniang around and saw who the attacker was, he used his Magic Treasures to kill her instantly.
But Taiyi Zhenren was unaware that the moment Shi Ji Niangniang turned to look at him, he reverted to his original appearance.
Therefore, in the last image before Shi Ji Niangniang's death, it was not Nezha who killed her, but Taiyi Zhenren.
On Jin'ao Island, Tongtian was preaching to his disciples when he suddenly realized that Shi Ji Niangniang had perished, and he frowned.
Since the Investiture of the Gods was published, Jie Sect Disciple have been repeatedly killed by the Chan Sect. This forced Tongtian to impose stricter restrictions on his disciples, ordering them not to leave their Cave Abode during the great calamity and to instead recite the Yellow Court Classic within their Cave Abode.
Shi Ji Niangniang fell, Tongtian thought she was yet another disciple who had ignored his advice.
However, after Tongtian made some calculations, he discovered that Shi Ji Niangniang had been ambushed and killed by Taiyi Zhenren in her own Cave Abode, and he was immediately enraged.
"You primitive brat, you've gone too far!"
Last time in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Tongtian was already seething with anger, and now that he saw Taiyi Zhenren going so far as to act so recklessly, how could he possibly sit still?
He raised the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, his entire body radiating murderous intent as he charged straight towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
