Taiyi's True Scheme! Master and Disciple Break Ties

"Speaking of which..."

Ignoring Taiyi's unpleasant expression, Jinling continued softly.

"Taiyi, you are truly audacious! You even dare to scheme against the Lingzhuzi that Nüwa sent to the mortal Sage to be reincarnated."

"Shut up!"

Finally, True Person Taiyi could no longer maintain his composure and burst out of the earth, attacking Jinling.

Looking at the approaching True Person Taiyi, Jinling's expression remained unchanged, but her words turned icy once again.

"I told you!"

You must call me Jinling!

As Jinling finished speaking, True Person Taiyi, who had just rushed out, returned to his place once more. However, this time, he did not leave behind his entire head as before.

Instead, only half of its head was left outside, while its mouth was buried in the soil.

As True Person Taiyi experienced this ordeal, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian, who were standing to the side, did not look too good.

They figured it out.

With Jinling's current strength, let alone the three of them joining forces, even if he summoned Twelve High Immortals of the Chan Sect, as long as there was no Quasi-Sage level powerhouse, they wouldn't stand a chance.

They probably wouldn't be a match for this Jinling, or even...

The gap had widened to the point that Jinling could disregard their resistance and toy with them at will.

Having understood this, their previously restless hearts calmed down somewhat.

There's nothing we can do; we just can't beat them!

Not to mention...

Judging from the current situation, Jinling's target is more towards True Person Taiyi than the two of them who were affected.

Although they are called fellow disciples, Taiyi's relationship with them is not very good, and they don't usually interact much.

The reason they joined forces here was simply because Li Jing's three sons had been taken in as disciples by them, which led to a temporary alliance.

Although his mouth was buried in the ground, this did not prevent the Great Daluo Golden Immortal True Person Taiyi from speaking.

"Jinling... what exactly do you want to do?"

Under Jinling's suddenly icy gaze, True Person Taiyi changed his words with a grim expression.

What does this deity wish to do?

Jinling stared expressionlessly at True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, True Person Puxian, and Nezha, who stood dumbfounded to the side.

"What I want is very simple: to expose all your schemes to the world and render them futile," Jinling said coldly.

Upon hearing Jinling's words, True Person Taiyi's expression darkened even further.

He knows best what his own calculations are, and revealing them will not harm him.

But...

He was destined to lose all face completely.

And...

Compared to the dough itself, the greater harm is...

True Person Taiyi glanced furtively at Nezha beside him, and seeing Nezha's dazed expression, he felt increasingly uneasy.

It should be understood that among his series of schemes, besides those concerning the Jie Sect and the East Sea Dragon Palace, the real pawn was Nezha.

Originally, True Person Taiyi's series of schemes were not particularly ingenious, but rather quite simple, taking advantage of Nezha's youth and ignorance.

They never even considered that they would keep it from Nezha forever.

After all, if things had gone according to his plan, Nezha would soon have disemboweled himself and returned his flesh and bones to his father and mother.

He relinquished his true Human Race form and then used a magical artifact to create a magical avatar for Nezha to take over.

With the Innate Indestructible Divine Light within Nezha's soul, after taking over the Spirit Treasure Incarnation, regardless of his cultivation level, his combat power will definitely rival that of Daluo.

Even within the Nine Provinces Barrier the Human Race, the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier makes it not an exaggeration to say that it can overpower even Daluo Golden Immortal.

Such cultivation is sufficient to serve as the vanguard officer in the campaign of Xiqi against King Zhou.

However, although this magical incarnation is powerful, Nezha's cultivation level is destined to remain stagnant for billions of years.

In this situation, even if Nezha matures in the future and understands that he was tricked, he is destined to be unable to take revenge on True Person Taiyi.

Even on a grander scale...

After countless years, Nezha, the reincarnation of the Lingzhuzi, was summoned back to the Nüwa Palace, where the limitations of his Spirit Pearl body were broken.

But that's destined to happen many years from now.

True Person Taiyi didn't believe he would be afraid of a 'Lingzhuzi' that had been delayed for countless years.

As for whether the Sage Nüwa would intervene because of his scheming.

The Sage is high above, how could he possibly bully the weak and retaliate against him for such a petty scheme?

Moreover, True Person Taiyi is not without powerful backers; if anything happens, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi will naturally cover for him.

But now...

His scheme against Nezha was halfway complete, but the appearance of Jinling abruptly halted him at the point where Nezha would sacrifice his body.

This is absolutely the worst thing that could happen.

Nezha, unwilling to relinquish his physical body, cultivated without restrictions, relying on his opponent's aptitude, which rivaled that of Yang Jian, the third-generation chief disciple of the Chan Sect.

I'm afraid it won't be long before I can surpass him.

By then...

True Person Taiyi's expression darkened even further.

I just kept comforting myself in my heart.

After all, his scheme had only just begun, and even if Jinling was Quasi-Sage, there was no reason for him to know about the scheme that Jin Ling had not yet implemented.

As long as the subsequent schemes remain unexposed, everything will be fine.

As various thoughts arose in True Person Taiyi's mind, his face remained gloomy, but he was far less shaken than he was inside.

Only...

This True Person Taiyi could deceive Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, True Person Puxian, and even Nezha.

But Jinling...

However, he could clearly perceive all the emotions in True Person Taiyi's heart.

"Taiyi, are you afraid? Are you scared?"

Jinling's voice rang out.

"I'm afraid my schemes will be exposed, afraid that in the future, Lingzhuzi —no, I'm afraid that Nezha will retaliate against me after he surpasses me."

"After all, Nezha you, as his master, want to seize is all of Nezha's Karmic Luck in this lifetime!"

Jinling's soft voice rang out.

True Person Taiyi's expression changed instantly, and he could no longer control his expression, revealing a look of disbelief.

Certainly.

That expression vanished in an instant, replaced by an angry look, an anger that seemed to come from being wronged.

"Jinling... Senior Sister, please refrain from such nonsense. When have I ever coveted my Karmic Luck?"

"I understand. Is this what you wanted? To slander me, to turn me against Nezha, and to avenge me for almost killing your Jie Sect."

Just like the expression on True Person Taiyi's face at this moment, his voice was filled with anger as if he had been wronged.

Jinling simply stared silently at True Person Taiyi, offering no explanation.

After all...

She didn't need to explain further; no one present would believe her.

Even Taiyi's two serious junior brothers, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and Puxian, and even Nezha standing to the side, did not believe it.

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian are both old monsters whose cultivation years are almost the same as Taiyi's, and their mental shrewdness and calculation are no less than True Person Taiyi's.

How could one so easily believe in True Person Taiyi?

They just didn't show it!

But...

The way they looked at True Person Taiyi subtly changed.

After all, they were merely following their master's orders to accept a disciple, hoping to use him to survive this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation.

And True Person Taiyi actually...

They even took into account the disciples' Karmic Luck.

Moreover, the one they were plotting against was the reincarnation of the Lingzhuzi, Nüwa chosen by the Sage Nuwa.

Such character and courage are beyond the reach of the two of them!

As for Nezha... it was purely because he saw the fleeting look of disbelief on True Person Taiyi's face, and...

That sixth sense, that the Unseen!

The admiration and affection that Nezha once held for True Person Taiyi were gone from his eyes; instead, there was disappointment and anger at being deceived.

Although Nezha didn't know what so-called Karmic Luck was, nor did he understand why his master coveted his Karmic Luck, but...

He knew that True Person Taiyi, his master, had deceived him!

For Nezha, that's enough.

At this moment.

Jinling watched with satisfaction as the changes occurred between True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, True Person Puxian, and Nezha below.

But...

It's not over yet!

A cold glint flashed in Jinling's eyes.

Her Jie Sect was desperately searching for a glimmer of hope amidst the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, and for this, she even personally sent many star gods into reincarnation.

Although she did it for the sake of her many fellow Star Gods, there is no doubt that more than 200 of the 365 positions on the Investiture of the Gods are already occupied.

At this time, instead of focusing on finding a way to avoid the calamity, the Chan Sect was determined to drag the Jie Sect down with them.

They wanted to send her, a disciple of the Jie Sect, to the Investiture of the Gods.

How could Jinling not be furious?

If this True Person Taiyi hadn't already been a Daluo Golden Immortal) and hadn't been protected by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, even if he were killed, it wouldn't have truly taken his life.

Jinling would probably have already taken action.

However, while he may escape the death penalty, he will certainly not escape punishment.

Jinling looked at True Person Taiyi with a smile on her face and said softly.

"Actually, it's not surprising that Taiyi would covet Nezha's Karmic Luck. After all, just as one of the generals in this Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, Nezha's Karmic Luck is already tempting enough."

"In addition, Nezha, as the reincarnation of the Lingzhuzi, carries the Karmic Luck of the Nüwa Palace, and... the Karmic Luck of being the first Innate Spirit Treasure spirit in the Primordial World."

"Junior Brother Taiyi, it's perfectly normal for you to covet your disciple Nezha's Karmic Luck."

After Jinling finished speaking...

Although Nezha didn't quite understand, he did realize one thing: the so-called Karmic Luck he possessed was something that his master, True Person Taiyi, coveted.

Unlike Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian, who were beside True Person Taiyi, only cultivators with their level of understanding could comprehend this.

Just how much weight did Jinling's seemingly casual words carry?

That's a true Great Dao to Tongtian!

Even they, after hearing Jinling's words, were moved and expressed their understanding of True Person Taiyi's actions, but...

The two of them simultaneously looked at True Person Taiyi, their gazes conveying the unspoken message: 'Senior brother, that's not fair! You're hogging the food...'

True Person Taiyi wanted to say something, but at this point, whatever he said would probably sound like an excuse.

Unconsciously, True Person Taiyi's face grew even more gloomy, and his gaze toward Jinling revealed resentment.

Jinling noticed the resentful look in True Person Taiyi and smiled inwardly.

Although she despised the way True Person Taiyi schemed against his disciple and then hated her after being exposed, this was... exactly the result she wanted.

At this time, the relationship between the Chan and Jie schools was tense, but they had not yet completely broken off relations.

Jinling didn't want to put her master, the Cult Master Tongtian, in a difficult position.

Moreover, this is during such a calamity.

Therefore, even though she had caught the Chan Sect in a bind, Jinling didn't want to be the first to strike and completely break ties with the Chan Sect.

All Jinling could do was take revenge on True Person Taiyi.

For True Person Taiyi, what Jinling was doing at this moment was probably worse than death.

Honestly.

If given a choice, True Person Taiyi would rather die early and be resurrected under the protection of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi than be in his current situation.

Looking at the scene below, Jinling smiled slightly, glanced almost imperceptibly into the void, and then quietly left with Shiji.

Jinling had just left, not even before True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian emerged from the earth.

Nezha didn't say a word and simply turned and left.

At this moment, Nezha's mind was in turmoil and confusion. His shallow experience of only a few years was far from enough for Nezha to understand what he should do now.

Instinctively, Nezha thought of his father who caused him so much worry, and his loving mother. Without thinking, Nezha's figure headed towards Chentang Pass.

Only...

At this moment, Nezha was in a state of confusion, had obviously forgotten that there was still a karmic debt in Chentang Pass that had not been completely settled!

And watching Nezha's departing figure.

True Person Taiyi opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Although Nezha is young, as the reincarnation of the Lingzhuzi, even if he lacks experience, his spiritual perception should not be underestimated.

Previously, I wasn't on guard because of our master-disciple relationship, but now...

No matter how much True Person Taiyi explains, Nezha probably won't listen.

"Let's wait and see! We'll figure out how to handle this relationship after Nezha calms down..." True Person Taiyi sighed softly.

Although his scheme was exposed and his hope of seizing the Karmic Luck belonging to Nezha's Lingzhuzi was dashed, he still couldn't let Nezha hate him.

Otherwise...

He'll be in trouble in the future.

As for forcibly keeping Nezha and forcibly seizing the Lingzhuzi's Karmic Luck, True Person Taiyi never even considered doing such a thing.

His audacity in scheming against Nezha and plotting to seize the Lingzhuzi's Karmic Luck is already outrageous; to forcibly take it... does he really think the Sage Nüwa doesn't care about the Lingzhuzi?

At this moment, True Person Taiyi had no intention of catching up with his junior brother.

The same applies to Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian.

The two exchanged only a few perfunctory words before taking their leave.

Only...

Neither Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, True Person Puxian, nor True Person Taiyi noticed that with their departure...

In the void, a familiar figure, with a smile on his face, quietly followed them away.
