While Tongtian was thinking about how to use barbarians against barbarians,
a flash of inspiration crossed Tongtian's mind.
"Yun Zhongzi?"
Tongtian suddenly remembered this person from the Chan Sect.
Because he was also a true Human, if he learned that a monster was harming his Human Race, he would definitely deal with Daji.
"Dong dong!"
"Congratulations! You have triggered a hidden option!"
"Option One: Do not tell Yun Zhongzi that there is a monster in the imperial court. You will receive a Nine-story Pagoda (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure)!"
"Option Two: Tell Yun Zhongzi that a monster is causing trouble in the imperial court. You will receive the Heavenly Dao Origin and the Black Thunder Wood Sword (Exotic Treasure)!"
"Exotic Treasure?"
Tongtian sensed it slightly and was left speechless.
He finally understood why it was called an Exotic Treasure.
That was because this Exotic Treasure was specially designed to target monsters. Only when facing monsters would it display its strongest power.
But against other people, this sword was extremely ordinary.
What Tongtian valued most was the Heavenly Dao Origin!
Perhaps this Origin could be used to achieve something unexpected?
With that thought, Tongtian chose the second option without hesitation.
After making his choice, Tongtian directly tore open a spatial rift and walked inside. He was going to find Yun Zhongzi.
At that very moment, inside a cave dwelling,
Yun Zhongzi was cultivating in seclusion. However, he suddenly sensed demonic energy causing trouble among the Human Race.
The instant he sensed it, blazing flames erupted from his eyes.
"Bold monster!"
"How dare you run wild among my Human Race!"
"Just watch how I kill you!"
Yun Zhongzi immediately set out for the Human Race, unable to restrain himself. He was determined to personally kill the hateful monster!
Tongtian, who had caused Yun Zhongzi to sense the demonic energy among the Human Race, quietly swapped Yun Zhongzi's wooden sword for the Exotic Treasure sword he had just obtained. Then, he watched in satisfaction as Yun Zhongzi departed.
"Now this is going to be fun!"
Tongtian smiled faintly and muttered to himself before setting out after Yun Zhongzi.
At that very moment, Yun Zhongzi had already arrived directly inside the imperial court. Not even a single guard had noticed his arrival.
Before long, he followed the golden imperial aura and found where the emperor was.
Yun Zhongzi directly arrived before the emperor and asked, "I sensed a large amount of demonic energy within the imperial court. Emperor, do you have any information?"
Hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, Di Xin was filled with confusion.
This can't be real, can it?
"Who are you?"
After recovering, Di Xin asked with a stern expression.
Yun Zhongzi did not care for his attitude. Without changing expression, he said, "I am from the Chan Sect. I sensed demonic energy spreading everywhere, so I came to subdue the monster."
Chan Sect!
Upon hearing this, Di Xin's eyes widened.
He had also been accepted into the Interception Sect and knew many things unknown to the people of this world.
Obviously, this person who had come specifically to capture monsters was also a cultivator.
"Then do you know where this monster is?"
Di Xin spoke in a solemn tone.
Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi formed hand seals. Golden light instantly burst from his eyes as he swept his gaze through the palace.
"It is hiding inside your palace!"
Yun Zhongzi spoke slowly.
"You must be mistaken. How could that be?"
"This is definitely false!"
Di Xin's face was filled with disbelief. He had always lived in the palace. If there were a monster, he would certainly have discovered it first.
Yun Zhongzi said nothing more. He directly offered up the sword and said, "If you do not believe me, take this sword back into your palace."
"If a monster dares to enter within fifty meters of this sword, it will be slain by it!"
Hearing Yun Zhongzi's words and seeing that he did not seem to be lying, Di Xin decided to try it. He ordered someone to carry the sword back into the palace.
Seeing Di Xin take the sword inside, Yun Zhongzi calmly sat down and waited.
Half a day passed just like that.
Just then, Daji brought a group of people into the palace to find Di Xin. The moment she entered the palace, she sensed a terrifying aura rushing toward her.
Boom!
A gigantic bolt of black lightning struck down at Daji. Before she could escape, she had already been slain.
After Daji was killed, her body lay sprawled on the ground before slowly transforming into a Nine-tailed Fox.
Seeing that Daji had been slain by the immortal's sword, Di Xin finally understood. His mind was filled with shame and rage!
Thinking of all the foolish things he had done recently after being bewitched by her, his fury soared.
I was actually deceived by a monster for so long?
At that moment, Yun Zhongzi did not care about any of this. After seeing that the monster had been slain, he directly took the sword and left.
When Yun Zhongzi took the sword, Tongtian had already swapped his original wooden sword back. He also took back the Exotic Treasure that had killed the monster.
Inside Yuxu Palace,
Yuanshi had just finished cultivating when he immediately sensed what was happening in the Shang Dynasty. If he had not sensed it, he would never have known—but after learning the truth, he was nearly angered to death and spat blood.
Boom!
Yuanshi suddenly erupted with mighty Saintly Power. Enraged, he immediately summoned Yun Zhongzi.
Yun Zhongzi also sensed his master's furious tone and hurried over in panic, wondering whether he had done something wrong.
While he was thinking about this, before he could even salute his master, he heard a string of furious curses.
"Are you so bored that you have nothing better to do?"
"Why did you run to the Human Race? Why did you kill Daji?"
"The methods I painstakingly left behind—you destroyed them just like that!"
"You damned fool! Idiot! Were you specially sent to ruin things for me?"
Hearing his master's continuous scolding, all color drained from Yun Zhongzi's face.
So that monster was a method left behind by Master?
Then the monster I killed this time was actually something good, and I turned it into something bad?
I even ruined Master's plan?
Yuanshi stared at the still-dazed Yun Zhongzi and grew increasingly furious. Why would Heaven send such an idiot to ruin things for me?
It was already impossible to scheme against Di Xin again. After learning about this, he would certainly become even more cautious. Scheming against him again was simply impossible!
Now, if he wanted to once more resist the rise of the Shang Dynasty's destiny, he could only find another plan...
Inside Biyou Palace,
Tongtian was wondering whether Yuanshi had already been angered into vomiting blood.
Yun Zhongzi had probably been cursed out thoroughly by Yuanshi, right?
Tongtian was so pleased that he nearly burst out laughing.
"You're not afraid of a godlike opponent; you're afraid of a piglike teammate!"
"The disciples of the Chan Sect are truly something, hahaha!"
"And you still want to play with me?"
Tongtian was thinking happily.
