Di Jun's Hypocrisy, Nan Ji's Scheme

When the Three Pure Ones brought Nan Ji from Kunlun to Buzhou Mountain, they found that quite a few people had already gathered there.

"Greetings, Daoist friends of the Three Pure Ones!"

Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones arrive, everyone cupped their hands and greeted them. The Three Pure Ones returned the greetings one by one and chatted with everyone.

Nan Ji looked around. He didn't see any acquaintances, but he did spot three enemies.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Ghost Chariot.

"Martial Nephew Nan Ji has also arrived."

Di Jun looked at Nan Ji and smiled as if nothing had happened before, as pleasant as a spring breeze.

Nan Ji had encountered many such smiling tigers in later generations.

"Heh heh!" Nan Ji sneered at Di Jun.

If he still had his previous cultivation, Nan Ji would have had no choice but to feign civility with Di Jun and Tai Yi.

But now, his realm had reached the middle stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so he no longer needed to be as guarded.

"Hahaha, little martial nephew, are you still angry about what happened before?"

As Di Jun spoke, he acted like an elder caring for his juniors.

He chuckled, unperturbed, and said, "Little martial nephew, we cultivators should prioritize the Dao. Don't dwell on such trivial matters."

He then continued, "Little martial nephew, how about this: Martial Uncle will stand up for you!"

As he spoke, Di Jun casually waved his hand.

"Ah!"

Instantly, an arm and half a shoulder were severed.

The one screaming in pain was, naturally, Ghost Chariot.

Ghost Chariot's forehead beaded with sweat from the sudden attack, but she dared not say anything more.

Di Jun continued speaking as if he had just crushed a spiritual herb, his tone as light and carefree as ever. "Little martial nephew, how is it? If you're still not satisfied, Martial Uncle can break her other arm for you."

Ghost Chariot's screams had already attracted the attention of the many Great Sages of the Great Desolation.

They were all well aware of the past grievances between the disciples of the Three Pure Ones and them.

Seeing Di Jun act like this, they all secretly thought: Di Jun is truly a magnanimous person.

Others mused, thinking: This person cannot be underestimated.

Tai Yi, seeing his elder brother acting so submissively, was about to say something when Di Jun subtly stopped him.

Nan Ji felt the gazes of the Great Sages upon him. If he caused further trouble, it would surely affect the reputation of the Three Pure Ones.

However, could the humiliation of that day truly be resolved by breaking an arm?

His enemies were not just Ghost Chariot but also the bullying he had endured from Di Jun and Tai Yi that day.

Yet, faced with such hypocrisy, Nan Ji's heart conceived a plan.

Thinking of the scheme to come, Nan Ji changed his expression. He grabbed Di Jun's arm and said, "Martial Uncle, no, please don't. Your junior nephew no longer minds."

Seeing that the situation had reached a resolution, Nan Ji even chatted casually with Di Jun for a while.

After Nan Ji left, Di Jun called Tai Yi and Ghost Chariot aside. However, his smile was gone.

He said sternly, "Ghost Chariot, do you resent me?"

Ghost Chariot knew the strength of Di Jun and Tai Yi, and she understood Di Jun's influence even more.

She inwardly lamented her misfortune but dared not show it. Lowering her head, she replied, "Ghost Chariot does not."

Tai Yi, however, while respectful of Di Jun, was not afraid of him.

Tai Yi directly said, "Big Brother, aren't you...?"

Di Jun knew what Tai Yi was about to say and waved his hand to interrupt him. He merely said to Ghost Chariot, "You have suffered injustice for the sake of the demon race. For the next two hundred years, the demon race's resources will be prioritized for you to recover your physical body."

Ghost Chariot initially harbored resentment, but her eyes lit up upon hearing Di Jun's words.

Although the demon race had not yet dominated the heavens and earth, their numbers had made them a great clan in the Great Desolation.

Two hundred years was a short time, but Ghost Chariot knew how abundant their resources were.

Thus, all resentment in Ghost Chariot's heart vanished completely. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Daoist friend Di Jun!"

Seeing Ghost Chariot's gratitude, Di Jun changed his tone and gently explained to Ghost Chariot and Tai Yi, "Ghost Chariot, the Three Pure Ones were already Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and this Nan Ji has also broken through to the middle stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal in a short period."

"As such, we truly should not offend the lineage of the Three Pure Ones in Kunlun."

"For the sake of the demon race, you have suffered this grievance."

Di Jun didn't necessarily need to explain to Ghost Chariot, but he patiently did so.

This made Ghost Chariot subconsciously feel immense gratitude towards Di Jun.

Tai Yi, though not afraid of the Three Pure Ones, had always obeyed Di Jun since his transformation, so he naturally did not object.

The scene unfolding was also noticed by the Three Pure Ones.

"It's still a few years until this Supreme Innate Spirit Root, the Seven-Colored Gourd, ripens. Wait around here with me and the others," Yuanshi said, sitting cross-legged, addressing Nan Ji.

Nan Ji listened to Yuanshi's arrangements, his mind beginning to ponder Yuanshi's attitude.

After all, Yuanshi was famously concerned with appearances in the Great Desolation; his silence now was the greatest indication of his displeasure.

Tongtian, however, curiously leaned in and asked, "Is that it?"

Seeing all three of the Three Pure Ones looking at him, Nan Ji didn't hide anything. He simply said, "Your disciple has already decided. The Treasure Dropping Coin."

Nan Ji had spoken to the Three Pure Ones about the Treasure Dropping Coin before. It was something that could be seen but not used.

If he could find a suitable moment to give it to Di Jun and Tai Yi, given their leadership of the demon tribe, they would surely use such a treasure.

By the time the true karmic flaws were discovered, it would be too late.

Calculating Di Jun and Tai Yi now, by using the Treasure Dropping Coin, was quite in line with Laozi and Yuanshi's methods.

Laozi, upon hearing this, also guessed Nan Ji's intentions and simply asked, "Can you bear to part with it?"

After all, such a High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure was not common in the Great Desolation today.

Nan Ji wasn't just calculating Di Jun and Tai Yi; he also wanted to use their hands to completely settle the past karma of the Treasure Dropping Coin during the Witch and Demon tribulation.

Once the Witch and Demon tribes were annihilated, the Three Pure Ones would have already attained the status of Sages.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to contend for this treasure then.

Of course, Nan Ji couldn't explain these thoughts to the Three Pure Ones, so he could only nod and say, "Your disciple has made up his mind."

Yuanshi, who had always looked down on the demon tribe, was initially somewhat disappointed by Nan Ji's previous attitude. However, after understanding Nan Ji's plan, he nodded in satisfaction.

Yuanshi looked around with a hint of pride, his heart filled with joy. He thought to himself, Truly worthy of being my disciple, Yuanshi's disciple! Excellent!

Tongtian, on the other hand, didn't understand what everyone was talking about and directly blurted out, "Big Brother, Second Brother, what do you mean? What are you talking about?"

Yuanshi, who had been jovial moments before, immediately lost his smile. He thought to himself, How could I have such a foolish brother!

Without acknowledging Tongtian, he directly said to Nan Ji, "Your Master suddenly has some insights and needs to discuss the Dao with your Martial Uncle and Martial Uncle. You go play around nearby, don't wander too far."

Nan Ji looked at his Master, who had suddenly changed his expression because of his Martial Uncle, and couldn't quite grasp the shift in his Master's emotions.

However, thinking of his own scheme, Nan Ji cupped his hands towards the Three Pure Ones. "Martial Uncle, Master, Martial Uncle, your disciple wishes to visit the Witch Clan."

Laozi opened his mouth, wanting to say: Take this old Daoist with you.

But sensing the unstable Yuanshi and Tongtian beside him, Laozi took out the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda again and said, "Remember to be careful and return within three years."
