Taiyi: You Want to Imprison Me? Have You Asked My Master?

The commotion on the street quickly alerted the surrounding area.

A series of rapid yet rhythmic clanging sounds of armor clashing came from afar, growing louder as they approached.

Those were soldiers who had heard the commotion, and they were converging on this side from all directions.

At the same time, in another part of the city, a powerful aura soared into the sky and was rushing towards the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

As the light faded, a figure was revealed, dressed in a purple robe, with three eyes on his forehead, and exuding an air of majesty.

The visitor was none other than Wen Zhong, the Great Shang Dynasty.

He sensed the drastic change in the Human Path Fortune within Chaoge City immediately.

At first, they thought a powerful enemy had invaded, and were greatly alarmed. They immediately rushed towards the place where the Fortune was gathering.

But the scene before him left him somewhat taken aback.

Di Xin held an infant in his arms, appearing completely at ease.

In the ditch not far from his feet, a disheveled figure was struggling to get up.

This Daoist priest... he looks so familiar.

He is True Person Taiyi of the Clarify Sect!

Wen Zhong's heart stirred, and he quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"Your the King."

Then, he looked at the disheveled figure and Nezha, who was fast asleep in Di Xin's arms.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but this guess seemed absurd and unbelievable to him.

Although the Clarify Sect and the Interception Sect have always been at odds, and many of their disciples are arrogant and conceited, the Chan Sect is, after all, a lineage of Humanity Dao.

How could someone do such a despicable thing?

"Your the King, what... has happened?" Wen Zhong couldn't help but ask.

Di Xin glanced at Nezha, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and then looked at True Person Taiyi.

As you can see.

"This Golden Immortal of the Clarify Sect, True Person Taiyi, sneaked into Li Jing's residence under the cover of night, intending to steal my disciple."

"As luck would have it, I caught him red-handed."

These words shattered the last shred of hope in Wen Zhong's heart.

He turned his head sharply and looked at True Person Taiyi, who was still struggling in the pit. A mixture of shock, anger, and contempt welled up in his heart.

Guessing is one thing, hearing it with your own ears is quite another.

Wen Zhong stared intently at True Person Taiyi, his voice filled with disappointment and disdain.

"Taiyi!"

Wen Zhong roared angrily, his voice echoing across the surrounding area.

"You... you, Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, Direct Disciple by a Saint, how could you commit such a petty theft!"

"Truly... truly a disgrace to the Saint!"

Being so openly rebuked by a junior member of the Interception Sect, True Person Taiyi felt his face burning with embarrassment and wished he could disappear into the ground.

He couldn't refute it.

Because every word Wen Zhong said was true.

He did indeed come to steal the child, and he was caught red-handed.

What could he do? Was he supposed to loudly proclaim that he wasn't stealing, but rather that he had come to "invite" an apprentice?

In this situation, any explanation would only seem more ridiculous.

He now only hopes that he will bear all the humiliation alone.

This matter absolutely cannot be allowed to affect the reputation of our Master and the Clarify Sect any further.

It's better for him to be humiliated than for his master to be humiliated.

Wen Zhong finished cursing, he was still not satisfied. He turned to Di Xin and bowed to ask for instructions.

"Your the King, this scoundrel's actions are despicable. He attempted to steal within the Chaoge City, showing utter contempt for the laws of our Great Shang Dynasty!"

"How should this be handled? Please advise, Your the King!"

Di Xin did not answer immediately. He lowered his head and looked down at True Person Taiyi, who was pretending to be dead in the pit.

"True Person Taiyi."

"Tell me, what should I do with you?"

Upon hearing this mocking question, True Person Taiyi's humiliation and anger were reignited.

He forced himself to stand up straight, turned his head away, snorted coldly, and ignored Di Xin.

He just wouldn't believe it!

He simply didn't believe that this Human Emperor would dare to do anything to him!

He's a disciple of Saint!

Killing him would mean a life-or-death feud with the Clarify Sect, and a complete offense against the Yuanshi Tianzun!

Can this Human Emperor bear the Karma?

Therefore, he figured that the Human Emperor would at most humiliate him, and in the end he would have to obediently release him.

When Di Xin saw that he did not answer, he was not angry, but continued to speak to himself.

"You stole my disciple; this is an unforgivable crime."

However...

Di Xin then changed the subject.

"Out of respect for the Saint Primordial Lord, I will not pursue this matter."

Upon hearing this, True Person Taiyi abruptly turned his head and looked at Di Xin.

See!

He knew that the Human Emperor wouldn't dare to touch him!

The title of Saint remains the most effective talisman in this Primordial Wilderness.

The arrogance that belonged to the Golden Immortal of the Clarify Sect quietly rose within him once more.

A sense of smugness had just risen in his heart.

Wen Zhong, standing to the side, grew anxious.

"Your the King..."

"Just let him go like that? That's letting him off too easily!"

Di Xin waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

Then, he gave True Person Taiyi a meaningful smile.

"You want me to let you go? Fine."

"However, you have repeatedly caused trouble in my Chaoge, disturbing my disciples and giving me quite a fright."

"Shouldn't you give some compensation?"

"I won't ask for much. Just take out a few Innate Spiritual Treasure as compensation, and we'll call it even. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, True Person Taiyi nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

What?

Innate Spiritual Treasure?

Just a few random items?

Do you think Innate Spiritual Treasure are as common as cabbages?!

Although he, True Person Taiyi, was very wealthy, Innate Spiritual Treasure treasures were his most prized possessions, each one extremely valuable!

This mortal emperor actually dared to make such an outrageous demand, trying to extort him?

"Don't even think about it!"

True Person Taiyi finally couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his head and stared intently at Di Xin.

Even if I don't give it to you, what can you do about it?

"You think you can kill me?"

Di Xin held Nezha in his arms, watching him with a leisurely air.

"I certainly won't kill you."

"However, if you don't provide compensation, you can forget about leaving."

"From now on, you shall stay obediently in this Chaoge City."

True Person Taiyi's pupils contracted.

"You... you actually want to imprison me?"

"Good."

Di Xin's answer was concise and to the point.

"I'm going to imprison you."

True Person Taiyi was completely enraged. He pointed at Di Xin and shouted sternly.

You dare!

"Do you really want to become a complete enemy of my Clarify Sect over such a trivial matter?"

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Saint?"

Di Xin looked down at him as if he were a clown.

Do you think I would care?

I'm putting my words here.

"If you don't offer me compensation that satisfies me, don't even think about leaving Chaoge City."

"It's no use who comes!"

"You..."

True Person Taiyi was so angry that he trembled all over, but he found that he was helpless.

Having lost all my Magic Power, I am now at the mercy of others, a fish on the chopping block.

If Di Xin was truly determined to imprison him here, he really wouldn't have any power to resist.

His only hope was that his master would come to save him personally.

Make him offer up Innate Spiritual Treasure to redeem himself?

That's impossible!

His attempt to descend the mountain on his master's Imperial Edict to take on disciples failed, and instead, he was outmaneuvered by the Human Emperor. This was a tremendous failure, bringing shame upon the Clarify Sect and his master.

If he were imprisoned by a mortal emperor again, he would ultimately have to use a Innate Spiritual Treasure to redeem himself...

Then he alone will utterly disgrace True Person Taiyi, the Clarify Sect, and his master Yuanshi Tianzun!

From this day forward, how will he have the face to stand in the Primordial Wilderness?

Therefore, he would rather die than agree to this condition!

Thinking this through, True Person Taiyi steeled his resolve, shut his mouth, and remained silent.

He steeled himself and simply shut his mouth, remaining silent.

Giving it to Spirit Treasure is impossible.

Never in this lifetime.

He believed that his master must already know about his defeat and capture.

The master would never tolerate his disciple being humiliated like this by a mortal.

Before long, Master will definitely find a way to save him!

As long as he holds firm and doesn't give in, the one who will eventually bow down will surely be this Human Emperor!
