Plotting to Recruit the Nine Heavens Profound Lady!

The Sect Master Tongtian revealed his method: he felt that instead of cooperating with the You Xiong Tribe and Hougang tribes, it would be more reliable to annex them.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed and said:

"Tongtian, you wouldn't be thinking of using this opportunity to get revenge for the trouble that Taiqing Laozi caused you during the reign of the Earth Emperor, would you?"

Even the Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't expected that his own younger brother would change like this.

"That's right!"

The Sect Master Tongtian nodded, then smiled and said:

"Brother, my method is much safer than allying with Laozi Taiqing."

The Sect Master Tongtian was playing his cards openly; rather than conspiring with a tiger, it was safer to kill the tiger and remove its skin directly.

"Really!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in agreement with Sect Master Tongtian's suggestion. Cooperating with Taiqing Laozi was too unsafe; in comparison, Sect Master Tongtian's proposal was more reliable.

He and Taiqing Laozi cooperated to gain the help of the Hou Gang Tribe, and they could achieve the same result by annexing the Hou Gang Tribe.

Moreover, the Hou Gang Tribe was weaker than the You Xiong Tribe, and the You Xiong Tribe could easily annex the Hou Gang Tribe if they launched a surprise attack.

In addition, the Jiuli Tribe is currently busy fighting Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, so they cannot attack the You Xiong Tribe immediately.

The Yuanshi Tianzun made his decision and prepared to act.

When the Sect Master Tongtian saw that the Yuanshi Tianzun was willing to listen to him, he was secretly delighted. Back then, the Supreme Laozi Taiqing had tripped him up; now it was his turn to trip the other up.

"Brother, we can actually help the Xuanyuan Shi find some allies to deal with Chi You."

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was willing to help him, Sect Master Tongtian also planned to give him a heads-up.

Chapter 598 Scheming Against the Nine Heavens Profound Lady!

Sect Master Tongtian hearing this, the Yuanshi Tianzun immediately realized what was happening and uttered a name:

"Ying Long!"

The first thing Yuanshi Tianzun thought of was Ying Long.

It wasn't that Yuanshi Tianzun didn't recognize the other Innate Great God, but rather that he knew they wouldn't risk Houtu Innate Great God intervening in this matter to help him.

Now that Xuanyuan Shi is the reincarnation of Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the Dragon Clan, Ying Long must help him.

The Sect Master Tongtian nodded in agreement with what the Yuanshi Tianzun had said about Ying Long, and then added:

"Brother, besides Ying Long, there is another person who might be able to help the Xuanyuan Shi."

The Sect Master Tongtian felt that the Yuanshi Tianzun was also blinded by his own involvement, and had actually overlooked a very important person.

Who is it?

Ever since Yuanshi Tianzun realized he had been tricked by Bai Chen, he had been thinking all day about how to break the deadlock and how to help Xuanyuan Shi return to his rightful place. His thinking had become limited.

He couldn't imagine which Innate Great God would be willing to help Xuanyuan.

"Brother, that is your neighbor Nine Heavens Profound Lady, a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West!"

The person recommended by the Sect Master Tongtian to Yuanshi Tianzun this time was not one of the Innate Great God, but rather a junior like Nine Heavens Profound Lady.

"I was momentarily confused and completely forgot about the Nine Heavens Profound Lady."

Upon hearing the reminder from the Sect Master Tongtian, the Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly realized the truth and said:

"The Nine Heavens Profound Lady was originally from the Yanzishi of the human race, and is now the wife of Suirenshi."

If she were to go to the You Xiong Tribe to help the Xuanyuan Shi, her very name would be enough to rally many human tribes to aid the Xuanyuan Shi."

Yuanshi Tianzun now understood the importance of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, not because of her high cultivation level, but because of her special identity.

It should be known that the Nine Heavens Profound Lady — Yanzishi —was once rumored to be the fourth ancestor of the human race.

The mere visit of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Yanzishi to the You Xiong Tribe brought immense benefits to the You Xiong Clan, without requiring anything else.

The enlightened Yuanshi Tianzun immediately made arrangements. He first went to the East Sea Dragon Palace to meet Ying Long and give him some instructions.

Without saying a word, Ying Long headed towards the human race, since the Dragon Clan were already inside the pit.

The Dragon Clan had no way to turn back; they could only grit their teeth and move forward.

After arranging for Ying Long, Yuanshi Tianzun broke through the void and went to the Daoist temple of his neighbor, Queen Mother of the West.

Kunlun Immortal Realm...

After the Three Ancestors of the Human Race led their people to live in seclusion on Shouyang Mountain, the wife of the human ancestor Suirenshi, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Yanzishi, returned to the Daoist temple of her master, the Queen Mother of the West of the Queen Mother of the West.

The ancestor of humanity, Suirenshi, did not stop them; if the other party wanted to leave, they could leave, and he could cultivate in peace on his own.

After all, the marriage between the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Yanzishi and the Ancestor of Humanity Suirenshi was merely a political marriage to complete the Human Marriage; there was no real affection between them.

When the Yuanshi Tianzun personally visited the Queen Mother of the West's sacred site, the Queen Mother of the West, upon noticing this, immediately led her entourage to greet him.

"The Queen Mother of the West, along with her disciples and attendants, pays her respects to the Yuqing Yuanshi!"

After glancing at the veiled Queen Mother of the West, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand and said:

"No need for formalities!"

Yuanshi Tianzun remembered that Queen Mother of the West's face was scratched by Bai Chen, thus disfiguring her.

If I can heal the other person's face, then the matter of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady will be resolved.

The Queen Mother of the West noticed that the Yuanshi Tianzun had glanced at her earlier and mistakenly thought it was because of her veil. She quickly bowed and apologized.

"Please, Sage Yuanshi, calm your anger. I wear a veil not to show disrespect, but because I fear I might disturb your presence!"

The thought of her disfigurement filled the Queen Mother of the West with hatred for Bai Chen. It was all that Evil Cat for scratching her face and ruining her appearance.

Over the past few hundred years, I have used many treasures and spent a lot of effort to heal the injuries on my face even slightly.

It's estimated that it will take at least several dozen Yuanhui (a unit of time) for the facial injuries to fully heal.

"Queen Mother of the West, you are overthinking it. I don't blame you; I just feel that Bai Chen's actions went a bit too far."

On the surface, Yuanshi Tianzun sympathized with Queen Mother of the West, but inwardly he was overjoyed, thinking that Bai Chen had done a great job and given him a chance to play the good guy.

"Queen Mother of the West, I can heal the injuries on your face, but your disciple, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, must go and assist the Xuanyuan Shi of the You Xiong Tribe in their fight against the Jiuli Tribe."

Yuanshi Tianzun stated his conditions directly. It wasn't that he looked down on Queen Mother of the West Queen Mother of the West, but given her cultivation level, it would take her at least one hundred Yuanhui to heal the injuries on her face on her own.

"This..."

After learning of Yuanshi Tianzun's conditions, Queen Mother of the West hesitated.

She knew very well that with her current level of cultivation, she wouldn't be able to restore her appearance in a short time.

However, the Queen Mother of the West knew something about the human race; the situation was far more complex than she had imagined!

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West wanted the Yuanshi Tianzun to help her restore her appearance, but she did not want her disciple, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Maiden, to get involved in the mess of the human race.

After much deliberation, the Queen Mother of the West finally made her decision, bowing respectfully to the Yuanshi Tianzun and saying:

"Yuanshi Sage, the Jiuli Tribe is backed by the Witch Clan and the Empress Houtu. This humble disciple, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, cannot bear the wrath of the Empress Houtu."

The Queen Mother of the West politely declined the offer from the Yuanshi Tianzun. She only had one disciple, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, and she really didn't want her to get involved in the mess that was happening with the human race.

To send the Nine Heavens Profound Lady to help the Xuanyuan Shi fight against the Jiuli Tribe is to send her to Houtu death, making her an enemy of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady and Witch Clan.

Although he wanted to restore his appearance, he didn't want to see his only disciple, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, go to her death!

At worst, I can slowly heal the injuries on my face. After all, I am Innate Deity with endless lifespan, so time is the least of my worries.

Yuanshi Tianzun was not angry at the Queen Mother of the West's refusal, because he had expected this outcome.

His words were meant for the Queen Mother of the West, and also specifically for the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Maiden.

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady was deeply moved when she saw that her master, the Queen Mother of the West, was willing to give up the opportunity to treat her disfigurement in order to protect her.

After making her decision, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady bowed and greeted the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable, saying:

"Sage of the Yuanshi, I, the junior Nine Heavens Profound Lady Yanzishi, am willing to go to the You Xiong Tribe to assist the Xuanyuan Shi in fighting against the Jiuli Tribe."

"We earnestly request the Yuanshi Sage to intervene and restore our master's appearance."

As a woman herself, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady knew the importance of appearance to a woman; it was like a second life.

Moreover, her master was no ordinary woman, but the Head of Female Immortals.

Her master's once stunning beauty was now covered in bloody claw marks, and he could only cover his face with a veil.

Therefore, even though the Nine Heavens Profound Lady knew the danger of this mission, she was still willing to take the risk in order to repay the Queen Mother of the West.

"You bastard!"

"Do you even have the right to speak before a sage?"

The Queen Mother of the West, suppressing her emotions, sternly rebuked the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, then bowed and paid homage to the Yuanshi Tianzun, saying:

"Sage Yuanshi, this junior is ignorant and naive; please do not take it seriously!"

The Queen Mother of the West truly did not want the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Maiden to get involved in this mess. Even she, the Queen Mother of the West, the Head of Female Immortals, could drown in this mess, let alone a junior like the Nine Heavens Profound Lady Maiden.

In her eagerness to protect her disciple, the Queen Mother of the West forgot one thing: that the Yuanshi Tianzun was a sage.

Words spoken in the presence of a sage cannot be taken back so easily.

"Queen Mother of the West, tell me not to take her words seriously. Are you and your disciple playing a trick on me?"

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable questioned the Queen Mother of the West in an icy tone, then turned his gaze to the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, saying:

"Nine Heavens Profound Lady, are you going to change your address?"

If the Nine Heavens Profound Lady were to change her tune, the Yuanshi Tianzun would not hesitate to punish the Queen Mother of the West and her disciple for the crime of deceiving a saint.

Do you really think you, the Yuanshi Tianzun, are easy to talk to and can't even lift a sword?

"Your Majesty, this junior still insists on my previous request."

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady did not change her mind and stuck to what she had said before.

"Very good!"
