Hong Yun Had Made Preparations Long Ago / The Human Emperor Returns, and Houtu Demands Punishment!

The Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to know if the Daoist Randeng had any ideas on how to help the Chan Sect break its current predicament.

"Master, Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, is a descendant of the Earth Emperor Shennong. If the Earth Emperor Shennong were to express his opinion and allow Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, to abdicate his position as the Co-Lord of Humanity?"

The method of the Daoist Randeng was very simple: I won't hit you, but I'll call your parents to hit you.

The Daoist Randeng didn't believe that if Shennong Shi, their ancestor, had already expressed his opinion, how could the eighth-generation Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, a descendant, possibly disagree?

"Randeng, that's a good suggestion."

Yuanshi Tianzun considered it for a moment and thought the other party's suggestion was feasible, so he praised it.

Yuanshi Tianzun had to admit that although Randeng's cultivation was somewhat weaker compared to other Innate Great God, he was still a monster who had lived for countless eons and possessed some intelligence.

Chapter 617 The well-prepared Hong Yun

"Randeng, the Earth Emperor Shennong is currently at the Wuzhuang Temple in Zhenyuanzi. Go and convey my oral decree."

After Yuanshi Tianzun calculated the Earth Emperor Shennong, he sent the Daoist Randeng to find him.

"I will obey the Imperial Decree of the Master."

After bowing and paying his respects, the Daoist Randeng fled towards the Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple.

Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple...

When the Daoist Randeng Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple, Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi were enjoying tea and discussing Daoism. The Daoist Randeng bowed to Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi and said:

"This humble Daoist has met the Earth Emperor Shennong and Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi."

Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun immediately realized that the other party had ill intentions. Zhenyuanzi, considering that Daoist Randeng was the Vice Cult Leader of the Chan Sect, returned the greeting.

"Randeng Deng, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am Hong Yun, not the Human Emperor!"

Hong Yun harbored some resentment towards Randeng and directly refused to acknowledge the identity of the Earth Emperor Shennong.

"Forehead!"

Hong Yun's refusal to acknowledge his identity immediately embarrassed Daoist Randeng.

You, Hong Yun, are the Earth Emperor Shennong, a fact known to all the Innate Great God Primordial World. You refuse to acknowledge this now; aren't you just trying to fool yourself?

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I will speak frankly without beating around the bush. Your descendant, the eighth-generation Yan Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, has become an obstacle to the return of the Human Emperor. Therefore, I would like to ask you to go and persuade Jiang Yiwang."

The Daoist Randeng stated his purpose directly, not bothering to beat around the bush with Hong Yun.

"Randeng Deng, when I left the human race, the sages said that I should not interfere in human affairs unless the human race was on the verge of extinction!"

Hong Yun politely declined the Daoist Randeng. He had guessed the other party's intentions when he arrived, which is why he did not acknowledge the identity of the Earth Emperor Shennong.

Not long ago, this guy revealed his true identity to the humans, an identity that the humans were unaware of.

This guy is the one who caused trouble. In order to retaliate against his descendants, he spread his true identity as the Earth Emperor Shennong all over the human race.

Now he even wants me to help him deal with his juniors.

Why is his face so big?

Does he really think that just because he's become the Vice Cult Leader of the Chan Sect, Hong Yun has to give him face?

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, this is the Sect Leader's will!"

Seeing that Hong Yun showed no respect whatsoever, the Daoist Randeng directly invoked the name of Yuanshi Tianzun and began to use his influence to intimidate others.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yun smiled and said:

"Daoist Randeng, as far as I know, my disappointing descendant in the human race has Human Religion supporting him. If I were to help the Xuanyuan Shi, I'm afraid I would offend the Saint Taiqing."

Hong Yun directly exposed the matter. Did Daoist Randeng really think he was a fool? Did he really believe he didn't know the situation?

If I help the Chan Sect, I'll offend the Laozi Taiqing. What if he tries to harm me?

"So, Fellow Daoist Hongyun has chosen to offend the sect leader."

Seeing that Hong Yun seemed unwilling to express his opinion, Daoist Randeng once again invoked the name of Yuanshi Tianzun to pressure him into taking sides.

Hong Yun's current situation is that if he helps the Chan Sect, he will offend Taiqing Laozi; if he doesn't help the Chan Sect, he will offend Yuanshi Tianzun.

At this moment, Hong Yun was already driven to a dead end?

No, no, no!

I, Hong Yun, still have a protective talisman that can help me get through this calamity.

Hong Yun took out a Imperial Decree from a sage and addressed it to Randeng:

"Fellow Randeng Deng, this is the Imperial Decree of the Saint Tongtian, which allows me not to interfere in this matter and to avoid incurring the wrath of other sages because of it."

"If you attempt to force this humble Daoist priest, you will be disobeying the Imperial Decree of the Saint Tongtian!"

Hong Yun had anticipated this situation and had made a special trip to the Biyou Palace not long ago to request an audience with the Sect Master Tongtian.

The Sect Master Tongtian Interception Sect had gained from assisting the Earth Emperor's return to power, granted Hong Yun this Imperial Decree, enabling him to overcome this calamity.

"This~"

When the Daoist Randeng saw that Hong Yun carried the Imperial Decree of the Sect Master Tongtian, he was also greatly surprised.

Good heavens, Hong Yun anticipated everything and was on guard against me!

Faced with this unexpected situation, Daoist Randeng quickly sent a telepathic message to the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable, and the reply he received was only two words: "Come back."

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, since that's the case, I'll head back now."

After bowing respectfully, the Daoist Randeng Ran Deng slunk away.

After the Daoist Randeng left, Zhenyuanzi said to Hong Yun:

"Hong Yun, it's fortunate that you obtained the Imperial Decree from the Saint Tongtian in time; otherwise, whether you chose sides or not, you would have inevitably faced the wrath of a sage."

Zhenyuanzi felt that the Imperial Decree of the Sect Master Tongtian had saved Hong Yun's life; otherwise, Hong Yun would have been in serious trouble and would have had no chance of escaping danger.

"Zhenyuanzi, do you know why I went to seek the Imperial Decree of the Saint Tongtian so early?"

With no outsiders present, Hong Yun smiled and asked Zhenyuanzi a question.

Upon hearing Hong Yun's words, Zhenyuanzi seemed to understand something and asked Hong Yun:

"Could it be for that person?"

Zhenyuanzi strongly suspected that a sage was guiding Hong Yun, and that sage was very likely Taiqing Laozi.

After all, the only saint openly opposing Yuanshi Tianzun these days is Taiqing Laozi.

"Um!"

Hong Yun nodded, acknowledging Zhenyuanzi's conjecture.

Since they couldn't get through to Hong Yun, the disciples of the Chan Sect finally decided to resort to force.

The plan was to have the Xuanyuan Shi prepare an army to attack the Jiang Clan Tribe, forcing Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang abdicate in Co-Lord of Humanity.

This is the last thing the Chan Sect wants to do, because using force to make the Xuanyuan Shi the Co-Lord of Humanity will inevitably affect the Xuanyuan Shi's Merit and Fortune.

But now that Yuanshi Tianzun has been pushed to the brink by Taiqing Laozi, this is the only way he can do it.

The Chan Sect first used the Nine Heavens Profound Lady as a living signboard to recruit people and began to gather an army. Then, they used the fact that Xuan Du Nuwa was Traitor of the Human Race to make a fuss and smear Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang with the evil name of colluding with the Traitor of the Human Race.

Meanwhile, the Jiang Clan Tribe noticed something amiss with the You Xiong Tribe and began to gather an army under the names of their Co-Lord of Humanity and the legendary historian Cang Jie, preparing to resist the You Xiong Tribe.

After assembling his army, Xuanyuan Shi led a large force to attack the Jiang Clan Tribe.

After the great battle began, Xuan Du and Shihuang Cang Jie, following the Imperial Decree of Taiqing Laozi, only intimidated the disciples of the Chan Sect Chan Sect and prevented them from taking action, without attacking the Xuanyuan Shi's allied forces.

Taiqing Laozi wanted the Xuanyuan Shi to be involved in the killing of humans, not the Human Religion to be involved in the killing of humans.

The You Xiong Clan and Jiang clans fought for a long time. In the end, the You Xiong Tribe defeated the Jiang Clan Tribe at a great cost and captured Flame Emperor Yan Jiang Yiwang.

Because Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang, was a descendant of Shennong, the Earth Emperor Shennong, the Xuanyuan Shi dared not kill him, but could only place him under house arrest.

Although Xuanyuan Shi defeated the Jiang Clan Tribe and became the Co-Lord of Humanity, he became the Co-Lord of Humanity by force, not by the abdication of Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang. Therefore, many human tribes had objections to this.

Some of the ancient human tribes that were closer to the Jiang Clan Tribe went directly to Shouyang Mountain to find the Three Ancestors of the Human Race because of this incident.

Not long after, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race sent their clansmen to the You Xiong Tribe. Because Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang and the Jiang Clan Tribe were descendants of Earth Emperor Shennong, they ordered Xuanyuan Shi to release them.

Chapter 618 The Human Emperor Returns to His Throne, Houtu Demands Punishment!

Under the pressure from the Imperial Decree of the Three Ancestors of the Human Race and the ancient human tribes, even though the Xuanyuan Shi knew that it might be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, they had no choice but to release the people, including Flame Emperor Jiang Yiwang and the Jiang clan.

There's nothing we can do about it. To put it bluntly, the title of the Co-Lord of Humanity sounds impressive, but it's nothing compared to the Three Ancestors of the Human Race.

If the Three Ancestors of the Human Race vote against it, Xuanyuan Shi's title as the Co-Lord of Humanity will immediately become invalid.

After that, Taiqing Laozi didn't cause any more trouble, fearing he might actually drive Yuanshi Tianzun mad.

During this time, the Xuanyuan Shi accomplished many great feats. Seeing that the time was ripe, Bai Chen summoned the Kongtong Seal to the Primordial World world:

"Today, the Xuanyuan Shi has achieved complete merit. Bai Chen, in remembrance of his contributions, hereby confer upon him the Human Emperor of the Human Race!"

Just as the Kongtong Seal was being used to confer the title of Human Emperor the Xuanyuan Shi, and just as the Human Emperor's merits were about to be bestowed, a sudden change occurred.

"Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, in your quest for the throne of the Human Emperor, you bypassed the Human Realm Path and were reborn as the Xuanyuan Shi, violating the order of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Do you know your crime?"

Houtu appeared and began to question the Xuanyuan Shi.

Xuanyuan Shi was an illegal immigrant, not reincarnated as a human through the proper process of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. How could Houtu let this opportunity pass?

In order to better punish Xuanyuan Shi, Houtu even helped him awaken his Primordial Spirit True Spirit.

"???"

Bai Chen was dumbfounded. He hadn't been notified of Houtu's sudden attack!

Bai Chen estimated that Houtu's current accusation against Xuanyuan Shi for smuggling was definitely because this witch wanted to share in the Human Emperor's merits.

No matter how much trouble Bai Chen causes, he can't lose the two Human Emperor' merits.

Yuanshi Tianzun was also dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Houtu to suddenly attack Xuanyuan Shi, especially at such a crucial moment.

Xuanyuan Shi (the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon), whose Primordial Spirit True Spirit been awakened, was dumbfounded when faced with Houtu's questioning.

My reincarnation was arranged by the Chan Sect Chan Sect. Didn't they tell me that this was illegal and a form of smuggling?
