Ch. 976Great Heavenly Venerate's Ninth Generation Body, Twelve Bronze Figures, Yellow Springs Ghost Emperor

Lu Bei eyed Ji Fa with curiosity, finding the three witches beside him suddenly unappealing.
Little Ji's fourth generation body appeared as a young man, his face like jade, dressed in snow-white robes, a jade belt cinched at his waist, and a Dao Master's robe over it. He looked tall and slender, his robes fluttering with an indescribable elegance.
He was very handsome, almost as handsome as Lu Bei himself.
The name Ji Fa sent Lu Bei's imagination running wild. It was more intriguing than Ji Chang, who had been caught fishing for evidence. Like Daoist Zhunti, Fantian Seal, and Dragon Binding Rope, it made him recall large-scale religious conflicts like the Investiture of the Gods.
Speaking of which, the Golden Winged Great Peng clone he'd left in Shituo Kingdom, back when it was still a Black Winged Golden Eyed Eagle, was named Yin Shou. He hadn't gotten along with the father-son duo Ji Chang and Ji Fa, and they'd had some minor conflicts.
Was it a coincidence?
Probably not.
When he'd taken Daoist Zhunti's title, Lu Bei had felt a connection. There was a destiny at play, and sure enough, Daoist Zhunti and Jieyin had established the Western Teachings, making him the second leader of the Western Teachings, Buddha Mother Zhunti.
So...
There would be a King Wu's Campaign Against Zhou script in the future!
Lu Bei thought a lot. His own mighty power, which he considered invincible for a lifetime, didn't matter. How much trouble could a little Ji Fa cause? He'd wait until Ji Chang died first.
In the end, he was willing to take on Yin Shou's role. When would he be bestowed with a Daji?
Wait a minute, if he really took on Yin Shou's script, within the context of the Kyushu Continent, the Shang Dynasty could only be the Myriad Monster Kingdom. Little Yellow Fish would become Queen Jiang, and then add a Daji...
Forget it, he didn't need this Daji!
Lu Bei's thoughts scattered, his mind conjuring many scenarios. His ill-intentioned gaze made Ji Fa retreat repeatedly, finally stopping next to Qi Lijing.
All three Invincible for a Lifetime were traps. Taisu couldn't stand, and Lu Bei liked to sacrifice teammates. When forced to choose the lesser of evils, Ji Fa felt Qi Lijing was the most reliable.
The Nine Path Dao Masters were inexplicably summoned. Having witnessed the Yellow Springs Yin Side, they didn't know where they were, but seeing the three Invincible for a Lifetime, they guessed this involved secrets of the Yellow Springs Realm.
It was of great importance, and they couldn't handle it without the three Invincible for a Lifetime. Even the Invincible for a Lifetime had to join forces, which showed how terrifying the situation was. The nine Dao Masters were old hands. Analyzing the pros and cons, they chose a leader who would benefit them and immediately pledged allegiance.
Mo Buxiu and Ji Fa stood beside Qi Lijing. Taisu was flanked by Gu Kui and Yuan Shi. Excluding these four Dao Masters, the remaining five all stood with Lu Bei.
Qian Yuan still chose Lu Bei. Even though she didn't get along with the witches, the reason was simple: Lu Bei was lustful, and she happened to be beautiful. This alone greatly increased her chances of survival.
She understood Lu Bei.
Leading four great beauties, Lu Bei, with his heroic spirit, subconsciously glanced at Taisu.
"Mediocre."
Taisu sneered repeatedly, mocking Lu Bei for being indiscriminate, capable of having his way with even ugly women.
This was clearly talking nonsense!
Because it was Taisu, who was both wise and brave, and would at least injure or kill anyone she struck, the four female Dao Masters remained unfazed, pretending they hadn't heard anything.
"Stop sleeping. You've been in seclusion for so long and still haven't woken up. I wouldn't have looked for you if I'd known." Seeing Jiang Suxin sitting cross-legged, eyes closed in seclusion, Lu Bei quickly stepped forward and punched to awaken her slumbering soul.
Nine paths to five. Four beauties and one painter. Lu Bei's understanding of "those who have the Dao are helped by many" deepened.
There were benefits to arriving late. One
