The Death of Da Meng
Yes, Ju Hua was indeed watching a play just now, and the main character of the play was naturally none other than the Celestial God Great Dream.
As expected of the disciple of the God King of the Infernal Gate, the Great Dream God truly has a knack for manipulating people's hearts, and his performance is also very convincing.
Unfortunately, none of this mattered to Ju Hua!
From the very beginning, Ju Hua knew what kind of person the Celestial God Great Dream was. If others couldn't figure out why the Celestial God Great Dream was plotting against the Zhen Bu God, how could he not figure it out?
This Celestial God Great Dream probably saw that he was too powerful, so he wanted to get rid of him!
Just like in the novel "Desolate Era", the Celestial God Great Dream was jealous of the Xu Jiu Gods' possibility of passing through the Moonlit Pool, so he plotted against them!
Now, isn't it perfectly fitting for Ju Hua to put herself in the role of Xu Jiu God?
Da Meng probably thought that he could only hold back one Demon King and three Demon General at the same time, and that if there was any more pressure, he would not be able to withstand it and would be surrounded and killed.
That's why he chose to ambush Zhen Bu Heavenly God.
Of course, although Ju Hua saw through the Celestial God Great Dream's disguise at a glance, he did not say it directly because he had no evidence to prove that the Celestial God Great Dream was a narrow-minded person.
Ju Hua's understanding of the Celestial God Great Dream comes from the novel "Desolate Era," while the other gods' understanding of the Celestial God Great Dream comes from his disguise. Everyone still thinks that the Celestial God Great Dream is a generous and enthusiastic person!
With Ju Hua's strength, she could easily kill the Celestial God Great Dream regardless of the other gods' attitudes, but there's no need for it!
Ju Hua will be staying on Ten Thousand Mountains Island for a while, so it's best not to have too much of a falling out with the local deities!
First, let the Celestial God Great Dream lower his guard, then find an opportunity to bury him. With Ju Hua's current level, if he uses the Qi Refinement Path, killing the Da Meng God will only take an instant!
For Ju Hua, this was just a small matter!
After pondering for a moment, Ju Hua said directly, "I think Da Meng Daoist Dameng makes a good point, but there are indeed suspicious points regarding Fellow Zhen Bu's death. Perhaps we should put this matter aside for now and look for evidence first?"
"."
No one spoke. They felt that Ju Hua's words were biased towards the Celestial God Great Dream. After all, the Zhen Bu God was already dead, and he died in that chaotic battle. How could there possibly be any evidence?
However, they couldn't find fault with Ju Hua, after all, this matter was indeed very difficult to handle!
"Ju Hua is right, we can't jump to conclusions about this!" Celestial God Fei You said to Celestial God Great Dream Dameng, "Da Meng, you'd better not run around during this time, otherwise, don't blame us for disregarding our past relationship!"
"I'll let you investigate me!"
Da Meng nodded reluctantly, and the image of a god who had suffered a great injustice immediately resonated with people.
"."
Ju Hua simply smiled and said nothing.
Originally, winning this war should have been a cause for celebration, and Ju Hua's sudden display of terrifying strength was certainly something everyone should try to befriend! However, the matter of the Celestial God Great Dream and the Zhen Bu God dampened their spirits, so before long, the group of gods dispersed in twos and threes.
At this moment, the Celestial God Great Dream appeared before Ju Hua and said, "Ju Hua, I cannot express my gratitude enough. I will surely repay your kindness in the future!"
"Da Meng Dameng, there's no need to take it to heart. I also believe that the matter of Zhen Bu Heavenly God was not done by you, Da Meng Dameng!" Ju Hua said casually.
"Yes, Zhen Bu is my brother, how could I possibly plot against him?" Celestial God Great Dream sighed heavily.
Ju Hua: "."
Ju Hua had no interest in watching the Celestial God Great Dream put on a show here, so after exchanging a few perfunctory words, he also took his leave.
Watching Ju Hua's departing figure, the Celestial God Great Dream breathed a heavy sigh of relief. It didn't matter if others doubted him, as long as Ju Hua didn't. In any case, he would soon be venturing into the Demon Ice Valley again!
This time, he's very confident he'll make it through!
For three consecutive days, Ten Thousand Mountains Island remained quiet, except for Ju Hua's residence.
The reason why Ju Hua's residence was so lively was that almost all the gods there came to ask Ju Hua to lead them away from Ten Thousand Mountains Island and even away from Moonlit Pool.
To be honest, there are very few, if any, gods who still believe that Ju Hua cannot overcome the Moonlit Pool at this point.
On the entire Ten Thousand Mountains Island, apart from a few individuals such as Fei You God, Celestial God Great Dream, and Feng Hou God, everyone else had come to Ju Hua, including even beings like Tong Qu God who possessed fourth-level power.
Ju Hua naturally agreed to all the requests of these gods.
A month later, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed across the once peaceful Ten Thousand Mountains Island. Many gods were drawn to the sound and gathered in a large basin in just a moment.
Call!
Ju Hua also came here.
"Ju Hua!"
Upon seeing Ju Hua's arrival, all the gods present bowed and paid their respects to Ju Hua, and Ju Hua returned the bows to each of them.
Soon, Ju Hua met Fei You, the Heavenly God, Tong Qu, and others.
"What happened?" Ju Hua asked.
"Da Meng is dead!" Fei You said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"He's dead? Wasn't he perfectly fine before?" Ju Hua asked with a puzzled expression. He then asked:
"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Da Meng is quite powerful; who could kill him instantly?"
Upon hearing Ju Hua's words, the expressions of the gods present instantly became somewhat strange. If we were to say who could instantly kill Da Meng, in a one-on-one fight, only Ju Hua was confident of doing so. No one else, even if they launched a sneak attack, could do so!
However, none of the gods present doubted Ju Hua, because the truth of the matter was quite obvious.
"Da Meng died from the Qi Refining technique!" Tong Qu Tianshen sighed, "Ju Hua, do you see this enormous basin? It was created by a massive seal smashing it open!"
"What?"
Ju Hua's expression changed slightly.
"This Ten Thousand Mountains Island is exceptionally sturdy; even most Dao Ancestor couldn't carve out such a massive basin here with a single blow!" Fei You, the Celestial God, continued.
"Therefore, there is only one explanation: it is True Immortal Formation True Immortal Formation at that!"
"The True Immortal Formation is far less Celestial God Formation, and it can push one's strength to a level that is outstanding even among Dao Ancestor. There must be a great many True Immortal participating!" the Tong Qu Celestial God continued.
"However, there aren't many pure gods on Ten Thousand Mountains Island. In fact, everyone is a suspect, and perhaps one of us is involved!"
After the God of Tong Qu said this, everyone fell silent, but no one refuted him.
"Very well, the Da Meng is dead, and we are much more at ease. Let's leave it at that!" said Fei You, the Heavenly God, in the end.
"."
No one said anything; they simply nodded.
The fact that so many True Immortal could gather there suggests that the gods on the island are eager for the Da Meng to perish. If that's the case, then there's really no need to investigate further!
Ju Hua: "."
PS: That concludes the five-chapter update. I added two more chapters today, so I still owe five chapters.
