Di Jun's Dissatisfaction with Nuwa! (cont.)
"Well!"
After Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian left the Zu Fei Palace, he sighed and said helplessly:
"I hope that Fellow Queen Mother of the West and the others will be wise enough not to bring trouble upon themselves."
Taiqing Laozi now understands exactly what Bai Chen is planning.
He felt that the victims, including the Queen Mother of the West, were already in a terrible state because their treasures had been stolen. If they were to fall into Bai Chen's trap as well, the situation would become truly unbearable.
At this moment, Yuqing Yuanshi suddenly stopped and said to Shangqing Tongtian:
"Third brother, I'm certain that when Di Jun and the others arrive at the Zu Fei Palace, Bai Chen's Good Corpse will definitely cause them trouble!"
The theory of Yuqing Yuanshi is quite interesting to the Shangqing Tongtian, which Di Jun disliked:
"Brother, since Junior Sister Nuwa hasn't started her sermon yet, why don't we stay here and observe?"
And so, the brothers Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian hit it off and decided not to leave, but to stay there and watch the show, waiting to see Bai Chen deal with the demon race.
Taiqing Laozi's face darkened; he was utterly speechless at his two younger brothers.
You are destined to become Heavenly Dao Saint, how can you be influenced by such a wicked sense of humor?
Ultimately, Laozi Taiqing had no choice but to stay here and watch the show with Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian.
There was no other way; the three brothers had always been together, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him, the eldest brother, to go and listen to the teachings alone.
After the Three Pure Ones left, Luo Bao started working, taking out a plaque and a container for Merit and Fortune Coin, and blocking the way to the main hall.
After finishing his work, Luo Bao quickly found a place to hide.
The three demon sisters, He Xihe, quickly arrived at the Zu Fei Palace. Upon seeing so Duobao, Wang Shu couldn't help but sigh in amazement:
"Sister, look Duobao this Zu Fei Palace has!"
"The three of us sisters only have one Innate Spiritual Root — the Moon Laurel Divine Tree, yet here there is a whole bunch of Innate Spiritual Root."
Wang Shu felt that Bai Chen was too wealthy. The treasures displayed in the dojo alone were more than all the treasures that she and her three sisters possessed combined.
Wang Shu felt that the three sisters were so poor. As the Lord of Taiyin, they were actually worse off than Bai Chen, who was just a Pet Beast. How pitiful!
"Wang Shu, few in the entire Primordial World can rival the wealth of Bai Chen's evil beast."
Upon hearing Wang Shu's lament, Fuxi couldn't help but speak.
To be honest, Fuxi felt that among those present, only Eastern Emperor Taiyi, relying on the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, could barely compare with Bai Chen in terms of possessions.
"The evil beast Bai Chen once plundered treasures on Buzhou Mountain and later inherited part of Yuanfeng's estate."
It also robbed part of the First Qilin's inheritance, plus the treasure from the Treasure Distribution Rock, and it also stole from the Great Primordial World.
Although Fuxi and Bai Chen had a bad relationship, he was still fairly clear about Bai Chen's rise to power.
"There are many treasures here, all of which it stole from the dojos of you fellow Daoists."
"For example, the Innate Spiritual Root of that fruit bearing the characters 'Huangzhong' should be the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum that Queen Mother of the West Xiwangmu lost!"
Fuxi always felt that Bai Chen was tarnishing the reputation of his sister Nuwa. This cat did bad things himself, but it also implicated his sister. It deserved to die!
While Fuxi was speaking ill of Bai Chen, he was unaware that a pair of golden eyes were staring intently at him from the shadows.
Upon hearing Bai Chen's story of how he rose to power, Wang Shu was alarmed.
"Big sister, thankfully our Innate Spiritual Root, the Moon Laurel Divine Tree, wasn't lost."
"Once we get back, we must take good care of the Moon Laurel Divine Tree so it doesn't get lost."
Wang Shu had no idea that the Moon Star hadn't been stolen; she even had to thank Zhunti Jieyin.
Bai Chen: It's all the fault of those two troublemakers, Zhunti and Jieyin, who Zhunti Jieyin me to listen to the Dao. Otherwise, the Innate Spiritual Root, the Moon Laurel Divine Tree, would be one of the bonsai in the Zu Fei Palace now.
Therefore, it can be said that when Zhunti forcibly Jieyin Bai Chen to listen to the Dao, many Innate Great God were spared a calamity.
At this moment, the Demon Saint Ci Tie noticed a Innate Spiritual Treasure in the Zu Fei Palace that served as a source of illumination, and asked Bai Ze:
"Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, isn't that the Jadeite Bright Stone Innate Spiritual Treasure you lost?"
The Demon Saint Ci Tie knew Bai Ze before the establishment of the demon race and had a good relationship with Bai Ze.
The Demon Saint Ci Tie had visited Bai Ze's dojo and seen Bai Ze's Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Jadeite Bright Stone.
"Ci Tie, you've mistaken me for someone else. That wasn't what I lost."
Bai Ze shook his head in denial, but inwardly he was roaring:
Mine!
Be mine!
It's mine!
Bai Ze roared with rage in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Bai Ze knew very well that if he said he had lost the Jadeite Bright Stone, he would likely run into trouble.
Once he admits that the Jadeite Bright Stone, the Innate Spiritual Treasure of the Zu Fei Palace, is indeed the one he lost...
Do you know what this means?
This means that she is accusing Bai Chen of being the villain who stole from her temple, and accusing the saint Nuwa of protecting the villain Bai Chen!
Once things escalate, there will likely only be two options left:
One is about solving the problem, the other is about dealing with the person who raised the problem!
Is Bai Chen the kind of cat that's willing to reason with people to solve problems?
So in the end, it's very likely that the person who raised the question will be dealt with.
Moreover, Bai Chen clearly knew that he was coming to listen to the sermon, yet he still placed the stolen goods here, which was already suspicious.
Bai Ze denied that it was his lost treasure in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Kunpeng noticed Bai Ze's unusual expression and realized the truth.
He had to admit that Bai Ze, this wise man of the demon race, truly lived up to his reputation; he was incredibly patient.
At the same time, Kunpeng also realized that if he wanted to deal with Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he had to get rid of Bai Ze, the strategist.
Without Bai Ze as their strategist, given Di Jun's reckless nature and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's martial arts obsession, these two brothers would have been doomed sooner or later.
"Bai Ze, do you think if we take these Innate Spiritual Root back to the demon race, will the demon race's strength increase greatly?"
Di Jun looked at these Innate Spiritual Root, his eyes revealing greed.
It should be noted that among these Innate Spiritual Root, there are many treasures that can enhance one's strength.
Bai Ze was speechless upon hearing this, and then retorted sarcastically:
"Heavenly Emperor, I don't know if the demon race will become much stronger if we follow your advice."
But I know we will be captured and killed by the Empress Nuwa for the crime of stealing from the sacred site."
It should be noted that Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace is located within the Wa Saint Palace, serving as its front hall and part of the Wa Saint Palace's sacred ground.
Stealing from the Zu Fei Palace is the same as stealing from the Wa Saint Palace.
Bai Ze knew without a doubt that if Di Jun dared to steal anything from the Zu Fei Palace, the other party would be doomed.
Even Fuxi's pleas were useless; he couldn't save Di Jun's life.
Bai Ze's warning immediately sobered Di Jun up, and he laughed awkwardly:
"Bai Ze, I was just joking!"
"I am not that Primordial World bandit Bai Chen, why would I commit theft?"
Di Jun felt that his life was more important, and it wouldn't be worth risking it for the sake of some Innate Spiritual Root.
"Heavenly Emperor, let's hurry and go listen to the teachings!"
After Bai Ze finished speaking, Di Jun didn't say anything and prepared to leave Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace to head to the Place of Listening to the Dao.
But the next moment, the demon race discovered an embarrassing situation.
The corridor leading to the main hall where the sermon was to be heard was blocked by a sign and a treasure basin.
"Private territory, no passing through!"
"If you need to pass, please insert coins."
"One life, one return, one coin; 129,600 Merit and Fortune Coin."
Bai Ze read aloud the words written on the sign, and now he understood why Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace was located in the front hall.
That Evil Cat deliberately occupied the area leading to the main hall so it could collect tolls.
To see Nuwa in the main hall, one must pay her a toll.
"Bai Chen, you're so shameless!"
"Not only do they sell tickets outside, they also collect tolls inside!"
Di Jun looked at the words written on the sign and cursed angrily, but he didn't notice that there were also words written on the back of the sign.
Di Jun was furious. He had been swindled out of a lot of Merit and Fortune Coin by Bai Chen under the guise of an entrance ticket outside the Wa Saint Palace.
Now that we're already inside, this cat still wants to charge a toll; it's going too far!
"Heavenly Emperor, just go straight there! We won't give you a single Merit and Fortune Coin!"
"When I see my sister, I will definitely accuse this evil beast of embezzling wealth!"
Fuxi gritted his teeth in anger. This Wa Saint Palace was the sacred site of his younger sister Nuwa, not a tool for Bai Chen to amass wealth.
"Heavenly Emperor, Xi Huang, I think it would be better to just pay the toll honestly."
Bai Ze advised that people should honestly pay the toll, not evade the fare, and avoid causing trouble.
As for Fuxi's claim of suing Bai Chen, Bai Ze thought it was a joke.
Bai Ze didn't even want to talk about Fuxi anymore, except for that time when Fuxi won the lawsuit against Bai Chen.
