Di Xin: Did I Give You Too Much Face? In My Chaoge, Even a Saint's Disciples Must Behave!
True Person Taiyi left the Li Residence, his heart filled with boundless rage, and headed straight for the royal palace.
In his mind, his personal visit was already a great honor for the Human Emperor.
If the Human Emperor wasn't stupid, he should know how to make the right choice.
He severed his master-disciple relationship with Nezha and then issued another decree ordering Li Jing to obediently hand Nezha over to him.
This is the kind of happy ending for everyone.
Soon, the magnificent palace came into view.
The guards at the gate showed no surprise when they saw him arrive; they simply stepped forward and blocked his path.
Who goes there?
True Person Taiyi slightly raised his chin, Fly whisk his whisk, and spoke in a condescending tone.
"This humble Daoist is a disciple of the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, the True Person Taiyi."
"Go quickly and inform your the King to come and welcome this humble monk."
He had to regain the face he lost at the Li Residence here.
He wanted everyone in Chaoge City to know that he, Golden Immortal of the Clarify Sect, was not someone that mere mortals could disrespect.
However, upon hearing his words, the guard showed no respect whatsoever; instead, he seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Oh, it's you."
The guard sized him up and down, then sneered.
"His the King anticipated your arrival."
"Come with me, I will take you to see the King."
True Person Taiyi was taken aback.
Did you expect me to come?
Also, what's with the guard's attitude?
His anger flared up again.
Didn't you hear what I said?
"This humble Daoist priest has instructed Di Xin to personally come out to greet me!"
"I am a disciple of the Jade Void Jade Void Palace, Direct Disciple the Yuanshi Tianzun! My status is incomparably noble!"
"Let him come out to greet you; that's giving him face!"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Dozens of guards at the palace gate turned around at the same time, and dozens of cold gazes instantly focused on True Person Taiyi.
The guard leading the way turned around and slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Clang!
The long sword was drawn half an inch from its sheath, its cold light gleaming.
"Presumptuous!"
The guard roared, his voice booming like a bell.
"Presumptuous!"
Who do you think you are? Do you think you deserve to be greeted by the King himself?
"If you wish to see the King, you'd better come with me obediently."
"If you don't want to, get out now!"
"If you dare to speak disrespectfully to the King again, don't blame us for our ruthless swords!"
Boom!
True Person Taiyi's mind went blank.
He could hardly believe his ears.
How dare a mere gatekeeper use the word "get lost" to humiliate him?
He was consumed by rage, and an uncontrollable murderous intent surged within him.
"Insolence! You're asking for death!"
True Person Taiyi trembled with rage and pointed at the guard, shouting fiercely.
Do you know who I am?
"This humble Daoist is a disciple of the Yuanshi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain! A disciple of Saint!"
"How dare you, a mere mortal, be so disrespectful to me!"
However, the guard leader merely gave a cold laugh.
I don't care who you are!
"No matter who comes, they must abide by the rules of our Great Shang Dynasty in this Chaoge City!"
"You have no right to act wildly in Chaoge, in front of the palace gates!"
"In short, if you see us, come with us!"
"If you don't want to come with me, then get lost!"
True Person Taiyi was so angry that he trembled all over.
He really wanted to slap this arrogant mortal to death.
But reason held him back tightly.
He could sense that the Human Path Fortune Grand Array within Chaoge City was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Although the talisman bestowed by his master could save his life, if he dared to make a move here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even his master was extremely wary of this Human Path Fortune. If he were to act rashly, even if he didn't die, he would definitely not gain any advantage.
Utter disgrace!
First he was kicked out by a military officer, and now he's being berated by a palace guard.
When had he, the True Person Taiyi, ever suffered such humiliation?
True Person Taiyi stared intently at the guard, and finally, all his anger and killing intent condensed into two words.
"Lead the way."
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
He practically spat out those two words through gritted teeth.
Seeing him yield, the guard revealed an undisguised contempt on his face and sheathed his long sword.
"You're smart to come with me."
The guard dismissively uttered a remark, then turned and walked into the palace, not even bothering to glance at him again.
Nine Chamber Hall.
Di Xin was sitting behind his desk, reviewing memorials.
When True Person Taiyi entered the main hall led by his guards, he didn't even raise his head.
True Person Taiyi stood in the hall, looking at the mortal emperor who ignored him, and his anger rose again.
He forced himself not to lash out.
After a long while, Di Xin seemed to have just finished dealing with his work. He put down his vermilion brush, raised his head, and looked at the True Person Taiyi in the prince's presence.
"The Daoist priest is not in seclusion on Qianyuan Mountain, but has come to the palace of my Chaoge today to request an audience with me. May I ask what brings you here?"
He asked the question knowing the answer already, as if he truly had no idea what had happened.
This attitude made True Person Taiyi feel humiliated once again.
He stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger.
"The Human Emperor!"
"I have come today for Li Jing's son, Nezha!"
"That child is destined to be a disciple of my Clarify Sect."
"I'll give you a chance."
"You shall immediately sever your master-disciple relationship with that child, and issue another decree ordering Li Jing to hand the child over to me to take back to Kunlun Mountain for cultivation."
"In this way, you will not only be able to settle a karmic Karma, but also forge a positive connection with my Clarify Sect."
"This is a tremendous good thing for you, and for the entire Human Clan."
Upon hearing these words, Di Xin's face remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor anger.
He simply looked calmly at True Person Taiyi.
"Are you done talking?"
True Person Taiyi was taken aback.
"That's all."
"No."
Di Xin uttered two words crisply and decisively.
The arrogance on True Person Taiyi's face froze instantly.
"Your Human Emperor, you should think this through!"
"This humble Daoist has come on the Imperial Edict my master, the Yuanshi Tianzun!"
"By refusing me, you are refusing my Clarify Sect and offending the Saint!"
"Can you, a mere Human Emperor, bear the consequences of offending Saint?"
He invoked the name of Saint, attempting to use his Saintly Might to intimidate the Human Emperor before him.
Di Xin slowly rose from his throne.
An invisible pressure began to permeate the hall.
"So what if I've offended you?"
"Since I have already accepted Nezha as my disciple, he is my disciple, and there is absolutely no reason to change that."
"No one can come!"
Di Xin's voice suddenly turned cold.
"I am only giving you this audience because you are a disciple of Saint."
"If you dare to be so insolent again, I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!"
Before he could finish speaking, Di Xin's mind stirred.
Boom--!
The entire Human Path Fortune of Chaoge City were instantly mobilized!
The boundless Purple Gold Fortune into a tangible, terrifying pressure, pressing down on True Person Taiyi from all directions!
"What?"
True Person Taiyi felt as if billions of Divine Mountain had simultaneously crashed down on him.
That force was irresistible and unstoppable!
His magical Magic Power had long been sealed, and now, faced with such immense power, he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
Thump!
True Person Taiyi's knees buckled, and he uncontrollably knelt down in the direction of Di Xin.
Just as his knee was about to touch the ground.
Buzz!
A gentle Jade Purity Immortal Light suddenly emanated from between his brows, instantly forming a protective shield that firmly protected him within.
That was the protective seal left behind by the Yuanshi Tianzun!
The celestial light and the Purple Gold Fortune collided violently, emitting a silent hiss.
Even so, True Person Taiyi was still forced to bend over, his bones creaking, and his face turned a deep liver color.
Di Xin, witnessing this scene, understood.
really.
No wonder this True Person Taiyi dared to come to the palace to cause trouble for me after being taught a lesson by the great formation.
It turns out there was a backup plan left by the Yuanshi Tianzun.
But so what?
Within the Chaoge City, at the heart of Human Path Fortune, he is invincible unless Saint appears!
"The Human Emperor!"
True Person Taiyi struggled to raise his head, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth, words filled with resentment and horror.
"You... do you truly intend to become an enemy of my Clarify Sect?!"
Di Xin looked down at him as if he were an ant.
"So what if we become enemies?"
"Remember, in the Human Clan territory, in Chaoge City, dragons coil before me, tigers lie low before me!"
"This is not a place where you disciples of Saint can act so recklessly!"
Every word from Di Xin was like a heavy hammer blow, striking True Person Taiyi's heart.
"This time, considering it's your first offense, I won't hold it against you."
"If there is a next time, I will not care who you are, I will make you taste my methods."
"Get out!"
As the last word fell, Di Xin's mind stirred again, and that terrifying suppressive power vanished without a trace.
True Person Taiyi felt a lightness in his body and staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain his balance.
He was panting heavily, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
He wanted to say something polite, but when he met Di Xin's indifferent eyes, all the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one.
It was a pure indifference and oppression.
He had no doubt that if he dared to utter another word, the other party would really stop at nothing to kill him right here.
He flicked his sleeves, not daring to linger for even a moment, and turned to flee from the Nine Chamber Hall, running wildly towards the outside of the palace.
