Oh No, I've Been Exposed! (cont.)
Seeing that Gonggong and Zhurong had not yet subdued Jiu Ying, Bai Chen shook his head.
If I, Great God Bai Chen, am relying on these two guys, I don't know when we'll even get to eat. It seems I, Great God Bai Chen, will have to step in!
Before Bai Chen made his move, he looked at Zhu Jiuyin beside him and said:
"Zhu Jiuyin, this great god will teach you a powerful divine ability today—Didi Pay for others!"
"The Time Laws, Time Capture!"
Bai Chen snapped his fingers, Time Laws surged forth. He used these Time Laws and then captured a specific moment in time.
Suddenly, Di Jun appeared out of thin air. When Jiu Ying saw Di Jun, he thought that reinforcements had arrived.
But at that moment, Di Jun unleashed his divine power, striking Jiu Ying with a burst of Solar True Fire, successfully launching a sneak attack.
"The Time Laws can be used like this?"
Zhu Jiuyin was greatly surprised upon seeing this. Others might not be able to see through ' Di Jun's' true nature, but he also possessed the Time Laws and could see through ' Di Jun's' true nature at a glance.
At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin Bai Chen finally understood why Bai Chen's move was called "Didi substitute driving." He had learned something new today.
"Heavenly Emperor, why did you launch a sneak attack on me?"
After being ambushed, Jiu Ying stared at Di Jun in disbelief. Wasn't this his reinforcement? Why would they ambush him?
Could it be true that Bai Chen said a long time ago that Di Jun colluded with the Witch Clan?
"What's going on?"
Gonggong, Zhurong, Xuanming were all somewhat baffled by Di Jun's sneak attack on Jiu Ying.
Seeing that Gonggong didn't understand, Zhu Jiuyin quickly explained:
"Brothers and Sister Xuanming, don't be anxious!"
"He is Di Jun, but he is not Di Jun!"
Zhu Jiuyin's words only made Gonggong and the other two even more confused.
What does it mean to be Di Jun and not Di Jun?
Can't you speak like a human being?!
"The Di Jun before us is a projection of Di Jun summoned by Bai Chen from the River of Time by intercepting another point in time using the Time Laws. You could also say he's Bai Chen's puppet."
Seeing that Gonggong other two didn't understand, Zhu Jiuyin had no choice but to explain.
Zhurong, watching the projection of Di Jun summoned by Bai Chen relentlessly attack the heavily injured Jiu Ying, exclaimed in alarm:
"Oh no! Bai Chen is trying to steal our lives and not give us a chance to redeem ourselves!"
Once Zhurong spoke up, Gonggong the simple-minded Gonggong realized what was going on.
The brothers Gonggong and Zhurong revealed their Ancestor Witch True Body, preparing to kill Jiu Ying with all their might, determined not to let Bai Chen steal their lives.
Xuanming glanced at the battlefield, then looked at Zhu Jiuyin beside him, and said:
"Brother, don't you have the Time Laws? You also know the 'Bad Cat' trick, right?"
"Brother, quickly use the Time Laws to summon a projection of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's River of Time."
Xuanming urged Zhu Jiuyin, "This cat has created a projection of Di Jun, I must create a projection of Eastern Emperor Taiyi to outdo this cat."
If Xuanming hadn't failed to inherit the Time Laws of the great god Pangu, she would have wanted to summon Eastern Emperor Taiyi herself.
Xuanming didn't have the ability to do it himself, so he had to ask Zhu Jiuyin to do it.
"Uh~"
Upon Zhu Jiuyin broke out in a cold sweat. His younger sister was truly talking without any sense of the situation!
Using the Time Laws to communicate with the river of time is already difficult enough, but to summon the projection of Eastern Emperor Taiyi from the river of time is even more difficult!
The key point is that I hadn't considered Bai Chen's trick of using a ride-hailing service. Xuanming made me try to summon Eastern Emperor Taiyi's projection right away, which was bound to backfire!
"Whee!"
Bai Chen noticed Zhu Jiuyin's embarrassment and gave him a look that seemed to say:
Zhu Jiuyin, watch as this great master helps you out of this predicament.
As Zhu Jiuyin waited expectantly, Bai Chen smacked Xuanming on the head and scolded him:
"Xuanming, are you stupid? If Zhu Jiuyin knew this move, he would have used it already!"
"He can stop time, speed up time, rewind time, and imprison time."
He can't defeat Eastern Emperor Taiyi to begin with, and you still want to summon Eastern Emperor Taiyi's projection from the River of Time? Isn't that deliberately making things difficult for him?"
When Zhu Jiuyin realized that this was Bai Chen helping him out of his predicament, he was immediately heartbroken.
Was the cat trying to get itself out of a predicament?
Are you sure this wasn't malicious sabotage?
If I had known that this was Bai Chen helping me out of a predicament, I would have been better off speaking up myself.
Zhu Jiuyin felt that under these circumstances, he should try to explain himself and save face as much as possible.
"Sister Xuanming, I have been cultivating the body of the Ancestral Witch most of the time and have not studied the Time Laws much."
After Zhu Jiuyin finished speaking, he realized that Xuanming hadn't responded at all.
After being hit by Bai Chen, Xuanming immediately lifted the cat off his shoulder, wanting to pet it.
However, Xuanming was not a saint, Bai Chen had the ability to retaliate, so the two started playfully fighting back and forth.
Xuanming was busy playing around with Bai Chen and had no time to listen to Zhu Jiuyin's nonsense.
On Jiu Ying's side, he had been driven to a dead end by Gonggong, Zhurong, and the projection of Di Jun, and now he was powerless to fight.
"Even if I, Jiu Ying, perish today, I will make you suffer!"
Filled with despair, Jiu Ying roared to the sky and then decided to self-destruct.
"Jiu Ying is about to self-destruct!"
As Jiu Ying's aura became increasingly violent, those present realized that Jiu Ying was about to self-destruct.
"The Time Laws!"
"Time Imprisonment!"
Bai Chen and Zhu Jiuyin simultaneously used the Time Laws to imprison Jiu Ying's time, temporarily suppressing Jiu Ying's self-destruction.
Just as Jiu Ying was imprisoned by time, Bai Chen unleashed the Heaven Measuring Ruler, cleaving Jiuying in two with a single stroke. He then swallowed Jiu Ying's corpse and shattered Primordial Spirit True Spirit.
"Smack smack!"
Xuanming, hearing the smacking sounds of Bai Chen chewing, reached out and poked Bai Chen's stomach, shouting:
"Bad Cat, you're eating alone again!"
Although Jiu Ying was killed, Gonggong and Zhurong were in utter despair, as Bai Chen had taken their heads.
What should we do?
Although Bai Chen stole the head, at least Jiu Ying was killed. Surely their brother wouldn't punish them?
Heavenly Court...
Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who was using the Chaos Bell to conceal Jiu Ying's aura, was suddenly alarmed when he could no longer detect Jiu Ying's presence.
"Oh no! Something's wrong with Jiu Ying!"
After guessing that Jiu Ying was in trouble, Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately used the Chaos Bell to deduce the cause.
When Di Jun, Bai Ze, Gui Che, and Fei Dan heard that Jiu Ying might be in trouble, their expressions changed drastically.
However, they understood that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was currently engaged in deduction, and it was not the time to raise questions.
The final result almost made Eastern Emperor Taiyi limp. He turned to Di Jun and said:
"Brother, Jiu Ying has perished!"
Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words, Di Jun, Bai Ze, Gui Che, and Fei Dan had already anticipated this outcome.
After all, the risks of infiltrating the Witch Clan are inherently high.
"Taiyi, who killed Jiu Ying?"
Di Jun pressed Eastern Emperor Taiyi for answers, wanting to know who this enemy was and vowing to avenge Jiu Ying if he had the chance in the future.
"Jiu Ying had only been in the Witch Clan for a short time when it was discovered by Gonggong and Zhurong. They attacked it but were no match for it. It attempted to self-destruct, but was killed and devoured by Bai Chen."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi recounted the things he had deduced, but of course, he didn't mention some things that were unfavorable to the situation.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun glanced at Bai Ze, Gui Che, and Fei Dan, and questioned them sternly:
Who leaked the information?
According to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, before Jiu Ying and Zhurong Gonggong knocking on its door, and Bai Chen even made an appearance.
Di Jun strongly suspected that someone had leaked the information to Bai Chen, which led to Jiu Ying's exposure and subsequent tragic death at Bai Chen's hands.
"Fei Dan and Gui Che, are you two?"
Di Jun's first suspicions were on Fei Dan and Gui Che. Fei Dan had initially sided with Fuxi, while Gui Che, being a fence-sitter, had the idea of siding with Fuxi.
Now, in order to save their lives, the two have chosen sides and colluded with Bai Chen, even going so far as to betray themselves.
Of course, Di Jun also had some doubts about Bai Ze, after all, Bai Ze had suggested that this matter be reported to Nuwa.
If Bai Ze secretly reported this matter to Nuwa, and Bai Chen learned about it from Nuwa, then the Evil Cat would tell the Witch Clan, which is entirely possible.
"Heavenly Emperor, we are innocent!"
While Bai Ze, Fei Dan, and Gui Che cried out for justice, they all swore to prove their innocence.
Only after Bai Ze and the other two made their vows did Di Jun regain his trust in them.
"Heavenly Emperor, Ci Tie fell at Bai Chen's hands, and now Jiu Ying has also fallen at Bai Chen's hands. Let's go to Empress Nuwa for justice."
