My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 720: Changshou Arrives

On the Little Qiong Peak, leaves kept falling.

Li Changshou was speechless.

He had deduced Di Xin’s death countless times. This was only a situation that would happen every time. Therefore, he was not very touched.

However, Di Xin was so dead...

Li Changshou did not expect his Dao heart to be slightly shaken.

“Grandmaster’s main purpose for coming to the Little Qiong Peak is to let me not interfere with the process of the Zhou Dynasty.”

Li Changshou slowly explained, “Actually, Grandmaster, you don’t have to come. I first thought about the Dao Sect. Moreover, I have already given Di Xin many hints. I will not interfere with the mortal world.”

Hong Jun smiled and said, “You look a little like the God-Conferment Master.”

Li Changshou took a deep breath and took out jade talismans from his sleeve. He placed them in front of him.

“Grandmaster won the second round. Are you going to mention the third array formation?”

“Changgeng, don’t be too serious.” Hong Jun smiled and said, “We’ll each win for a while. Why don’t we drop the third round?”

“Let’s start the third round, Grandmaster. It’s not easy for me to reach my advantage.”

Li Changshou smiled and tapped his finger gently. The jade token in front of him shattered.

At that moment, in the sleeve of the living beings in the trichiliocosm, Exalted Wang Qing, Jiang Lin’er, Jiu Jiu, Bai Ze, and the Little Qiong Peak, two jade talismans shattered.

Hong Jun smiled and said, “The third array formation is actually meaningless. After all, we will not fight to the death.”

“Grandmaster, I actually have a few questions.”

“Oh? Tell me about it.”

Li Changshou said, “If Guang Chengzi doesn’t interfere forcefully, will Shang win this time?”

“Yes.” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun agreed without hesitation. “Actually, I’ve thought about it carefully. What if Shang continues for a few hundred years? However, the outcome of the deduction was the resurrection of the human path. It was too threatening to the Heavenly Dao. I don’t dare to listen.”

“Did Grandmaster affect Guang Chengzi?”

“I didn’t do anything to Guang Chengzi,” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said. “I only let Guang Chengzi take a few glances at the outcome of the deduction. He has good perception and is quite concerned about Chan School.”

Li Changshou looked up at Hong Jun and felt a little helpless.

He was suddenly amused.

Forget it. In the end, it was difficult for the world to have a 98% chance of winning.

“Grandmaster, I will follow your expectations and punish Senior Brother Guang Chengzi for plotting to kill the Human Emperor and interfering with the mortal conflict. However, Grandmaster, from now on, please do not interfere with the mortal world of the South Continent.”

Li Changshou said slowly, “Emperor Ji is revered in the Heavenly Courts. Mortals are ruled by the Heavenly Courts. It’s the result that Grandmaster wants. Grandmaster has already done it. I will not destroy such a situation because it will harm the mortals of the South Continent and implicate countless mortals. However, following that, the matter of the immortals will be resolved by the immortals.”

Hong Jun’s smile gradually disappeared. He said, “Do you know what you’re saying?”

Li Changshou’s gaze was sharp.

“From now on, we have reached a consensus. From now on, the Heavenly Dao will not disturb mortals. As a threat, I can make the human race ignite the Torch Flame and rebel at any time. Grandmaster should know that the Torch Flame has been passed down to me by Suiren. However, if Grandmaster agrees, I will take the initiative to punish Guang Chengzi and let Chan School and the Dao Sect be at odds!”

Hong Jun smiled and said, “If that’s the case, the Three Sects’ Arrangement that you worked hard to manage in the beginning can no longer be maintained.”

“Isn’t that what Grandmaster wants? Isn’t that what Grandmaster wants?”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up.

He said, “The teachings of Chan School are to follow the heavens and explain the principles of the world. From the beginning, when I calculated all the chances of winning, I had already considered Second Uncle-Master to be on the Heavenly Dao’s side. Grandmaster, after parting today, we might be completely opposing each other in the future. In the future, I can only call you Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist, please call me by my name.”

After saying that, Li Changshou slowly stood up.

He was actually waiting for the battle of the Shang Dynasty to end and for the Dao Ancestor to finish the script.

Only then could the mortals avoid the subsequent vortex and make the mortals of the human race become the flaws of the Heavenly Dao and not their weakness.

Since the matter is settled, there is no need to be polite.

Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, “I won’t keep you any longer, Fellow Daoist.”

“Have you thought about it?”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Changgeng, you can clearly continue to delay. You can comprehend the world in the Primordial World. When you have no choice but to face me, you can be more confident.”

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, you have already forced me to this extent. If I don’t appreciate your kindness, I will be disrespecting the strongest expert in the Primordial World.”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun was silent. He sat there and pondered for a while.

“Changgeng, I actually don’t understand. You have always pursued stability. You have such a calm personality. Why did you disregard everything and kill the Saint to become the Heavenly Dao for the death of Jin Guang? Why did you become so angry because of Di Xin’s death? They should not be your relatives or friends. When you killed Zhun Ti, it had already gone against your entire plan to resist the Heavenly Dao. Also, if you really convict Guang Chengzi this time, you will definitely not be able to control the situation and cause the Dao Sect to split. I benefited in the end. I treated you as an opponent and treated you as my favorite junior. That’s why I asked you so many questions.”

“Because I’m not a Fellow Daoist, and I don’t want to be your opponent. I don’t have the right to control because I originally felt that there was something wrong with the world and wanted to see if I could correct it. It’s just an attempt.”

Li Changshou raised his hand and sent the guest off for the second time.

He said, “I’ll let my friends and relatives, who have nothing to do with the Great Tribulation, leave the Primordial World. If Fellow Daoist attacks them, I’ll reveal my second trump card outside the Nine Polluted Springs.”

Hong Jun stood up with his hands behind his back and looked at Li Changshou. He smiled and asked, “What is it again?”

“Fellow Daoist, you think you’re as stable as Mount Tai. In fact, the Primordial World system you built is filled with loopholes.”

Li Changshou said calmly, “I’ve long known where the Undying Fire Mountain is. The Kun Peng can go over at any time and kill the Primordial Phoenix from its dying state. With the remnant of the Kun Peng as the fuel for the Primordial Phoenix’s nirvana, the Primordial Phoenix will be reborn.”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’s expression turned cold.

“Changgeng, you really put in a lot of effort to resist the Heavenly Dao.”

“Most of the time, I just treat it as a self-defense technique.”

Hong Jun asked, “Then why didn’t you save Di Xin just now?”

Li Changshou said, “Saving Di Xin means protecting the Shang Dynasty and promoting the prosperity of the human Dao. I’ve always wanted to do that. After Senior Suiren died, I deduced many possibilities. I wanted to protect Shang and even thought of how to nurture Di Xin’s third son, Zi Geng. However, that would only bring the human race into the game between me and you, Fellow Daoist. It would only deepen. Just because you have no bottom line, you will kill mortals. You don’t have to ask for any reason to kill living beings. I don’t dare to save them. I cannot save them. Instead of letting mortals stand on my side and lose 90% again, it’s better to let you get what you want, Fellow Daoist. Let mortals become a part of the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Next, as long as I don’t touch the mortal world, the mortal world will be stable to 98%. Taking a step back, in the Primordial World where even immortals would suffocate, what can mortals do? What can they change? They just have to live well. Fellow Daoist, I don’t have to rely on the brilliance of the human Dao. I don’t have to let them sacrifice for no reason. After weighing the pros and cons, I can only let the current human emperor suffer some grievances. This is the least damaging plan.”

“Okay.”

Hong Jun looked a little touched and smiled faintly. “You’re completely different from that senior of yours.”

Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed. Dao Ancestor Hong Jun returned the bow.

In the next moment, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun turned into a beam of light and disappeared from the Little Qiong Peak in the blink of an eye.

Li Changshou stood quietly for a while and turned to look at the chess room. After a long time, he said, “Zhong Ling, bring Ling’e and Little Qiong Peak to Xuandu City and fetch everyone you can.”

Before the Chaos Bell could answer, Li Changshou’s figure dissipated with the wind.

...

“Father, I’m useless.”

“It turns out that I’m not destined.”

“Who!?!”

In the backyard of the Water God Residence, Youqin Xuanya opened her eyes. She, who was meditating, felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

What happened? What I saw just now...

Chaoge City, which had been burning for the entire night, welcomed the dawn. A large number of troops surged into Chaoge City, which was emitting black smoke everywhere. On the carriage in the middle, an unfamiliar man sat upright.

The silent citizens on the streets, the shining swords on the streets, and the soldiers who were emitting strong killing intent...

In the distance, there was a charred skyscraper and a corpse sitting quietly on the tall building...

The convoy suddenly stopped. A large number of figures in luxurious robes appeared in front of the street. Most of them were kneeling on the side of the road.

An old man, who Youqin Xuanya felt was connected to her by a faint bloodline, knelt on the ground and walked forward on his knees. He opened his chest and raised his hands.

“Di Xin, I wish to honor the King!”

Wei Ziqi.

Youqin Xuanya suddenly stood up. Golden light flashed, and her enchanting figure, which had only been wearing a thin dress previously, was covered by the armor.

Youqin Xuanya did not know where she was going. However, she had an urge to kill the unfilial grandson who was walking forward on his knees!

Brother’s unfilial descendants!

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw the figure standing in front of her.

“Senior Brother Changshou...”

“Follow me.”

Li Changshou extended his right hand. Youqin Xuanya extended her left hand without hesitation.

As soon as her slender hand landed on Li Changshou’s palm, Youqin Xuanya felt the surrounding streams of light flicker and transform like illusions.

Cosmic Movement!

In the next moment, she was already above a sea of clouds.

Before Youqin Xuanya could react, Li Changshou said, “Xuanya, do you want to come with me? Make a decision now.”

“Senior Brother... What... happened to me?”

Li Changshou said warmly, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I should be leaving. Do you want to continue staying in the Heavenly Courts or go to the Chaos Sea with me? If you choose the former, you can continue to do what I want you to do next. If you choose the latter, you will be brought to the Outer World to wait for me.”

Youqin Xuanya was stunned. Then, she asked, “Senior Brother, do you need me to stay?”

“The Shang Nation needs it.”

“Then, I’ll stay.”

Youqin Xuanya bit her lips gently. Her gaze was a little chaotic, but she looked up at Li Changshou.

“Senior Brother, I want to stay. It’s not just for what I have to do next. It’s because I feel that... Senior Brother does not lack company, but I can do many meaningful things in the Heavenly Courts.”

“Alright.” Li Changshou smiled and handed a treasure pouch to Youqin Xuanya. “Take this as a parting gift. Follow me. I’ll tell you briefly what happened and what you want to do. You need to kill someone. Don’t hesitate...”

As he spoke, Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed nine days later with Youqin Xuanya. At that moment, they had unknowingly arrived near Chaoge City.

Li Changshou made a gesture and pointed out a cloud mirror. He looked at the situation in the mirror with Youqin Xuanya.

The cloud mirror revealed a temporary wooden platform in front of the palace in Chaoge City.

The drums were like thunder, and heads were moving.

More than ten drums rumbled. Circles of merchants surrounded the platform and looked at the figures on the platform.

It was a guillotine platform.

An old man sat in front of a few flags. He was dressed in a purple official robe and looked tired. It was the Grand Tutor of the Zhou Nation, Jiang Shang.

In front of Jiang Shang, the peerlessly beautiful woman was kneeling. She was heavily bound by the immortal rope. At that moment, her eyes were empty, and she lowered her head in silence.

It was Daji.

A general walked forward and did not dare to look at Daji.

“Grand Tutor, we have found out that she is the Demon Consort of Di Xin! She has caused chaos in the imperial court and has been tortured. Her crimes cannot be forgiven! Grand Tutor, please kill her immediately!”

Jiang Shang frowned slightly and stroked his beard.

“Grand Tutor!”

Below the stage, Tu Xing Sun jumped and shouted, “This demoness should be killed!”

A soft reprimand came from the side. It was Little Nezha, who had just arrived in Chaoge City on the Wind-Fire Wheel. He cursed angrily, “Why are you arguing? Is it your turn to speak?”

Tu Xingsun forced an ugly smile and lowered his head to retreat.

Jiang Shang asked, “Daji, do you know your crime?”

“You don’t know your sins.”

Daji answered coldly and still did not raise her head. Although her voice was soft, everyone could hear her clearly.

‘”If I confess, I will be slandering the King. The King is the ruler of the Shang Nation. He is talented, ambitious, and determined. He had done everything for the Shang Nation. You are just using the power of the immortals to win despicably. You can kill me but you can’t humiliate me. You can kill me but you can’t condemn me. You guys are not worthy.”

“You witch!”

The general glared at him and immediately raised his hand to draw his sword.

Jiang Shang made a gesture to stop her and looked at Daji.

Another general jumped up from the side. He had a handsome face and a slender figure. He carried a three pointed, double-edged spear. He was naturally Yang Jian.

Yang Jian said calmly, “Grand Tutor, why don’t you fulfill Daji’s wish and send her to the God-Conferment Platform to reunite with Di Xin?”

“Yes.” Jiang Shang nodded slowly.

“No!”

Zhou Chen suddenly shouted, “He should be convicted first!”

Yang Jian looked at Zhou Chen and asked, “Is it important to convict him?”

Zhou Chen shouted, “This is the beloved concubine of Di Xin. She killed the noble Queen Jiang. She has to be convicted. Otherwise, she will not be able to convince the world!”

Daji lowered her head and said, “Empress Jiang colluded with her father and brother to plot a rebellion. She even privately sent a letter to Jiang Huanchu to let the Jiang family threaten Chaoge City. The King cleaned up the Jiang Family for the sake of the government. If Empress Jiang is really noble, why should she threaten the King using her father and brother?”

The minister of Zhou said firmly, “You’re deceiving the masses with your demonic words! You don’t know shame! The Old Marquis of the East is so respected! How can you slander him like that!?!”

Yang Jian looked over coldly. “Whoever is here today, don’t mention shame.”

“Marshal-General, what do you mean?”

“What do you mean?”

Yang Jian took off his helmet and threw it at Zhou Chen’s feet. “Now that the Zhou Nation has obtained the world, King Wu has condensed the destiny of the human emperor and the Son of Heaven. Master’s orders have been completed. I, the Heavenly Courts’ Perfected Lord Qingyuan, said that the Zhou Nation did not win honorably. Do you have any objections?”

“You! You!”

“Oh?” Yang Jian watched coldly.

“Hmph!”

Zhou Chen flung his sleeve and took half a step back.

“Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian, Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian.” Jiang Shang hurriedly stood up and became the mediator. “Don’t do this...”

Before Jiang Shang could appease Yang Jian, Nezha jumped out and shouted, “I’m not doing it either! Anyway, I’m done. I’ll go back and find my father!”

“You, you!”

Jiang Shang was a little helpless. He said, “We haven’t even discussed the merits and rewards. How can we quit like this...”

At that moment, he suddenly heard a chuckle. In the sky beside him, a female immortal in a flaming dress rode a cloud over.

The Goddess of Fire Spirit.

The Goddess of Fire Spirit said calmly, “I just took a nap. Chan School has already taken Chaoge City. They’re really impressive. However, I don’t know what Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops had used. I wonder how much lifespan they will have in the future. In order to win, Chan School would really use all their means to deal with the mortal kings.”

Jiang Shang frowned and looked at the Goddess of Fire Spirit. He knew that she should be an expert of Jie School.

“Fairy, you’re wrong. It was the Zhou Nation’s army that attacked Chaoge City.”

“Is it different?”

The Goddess of Fire Spirit said calmly, “I don’t want to care about anything else. Today, I want to see how you convict Daji. What crime has Daji committed? If you don’t know, I have always been a general in Shang Dynasty. I can be a witness. Although Daji was ordered to cause trouble, she did not interfere with Di Xin’s decision. You fought with Di Xin for the throne, and Di Xin had already committed suicide on Zhai Xing Hall. Why do you have to make things difficult for such a woman?”

A general of the Zhou Army said, “Daji has sacrificed many tortures! This is a crime that cannot be cleared!”

“There were many tortures in the Shang Dynasty.” The Goddess of Fire Spirit said, “Di Xin uses torture to intimidate others. It’s not to harm others for fun. The ones who are tortured are the nobles of the Shang Dynasty. What these nobles usually do is even worse when they go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell in the Netherworld. They are just enjoying it in advance.”

Yang Jian looked at the Goddess of Fire Spirit and said, “Fellow Daoist, are you here to save Daji?”

“I don’t know Daji. I just can’t stand her. I’m here to say a few words,” the Goddess of Fire Spirit said calmly. “If you want to kill her, why don’t you attack? Can’t you tell? She wants to die now. She only wants to find her Dao companion.”

“Husband and wife!” Nezha whispered. “Mortals are called husband and wife.”

The Fire Spirit frowned and said, “But she’s also considered a demon Qi Refinement cultivator.”

A clear voice suddenly sounded from the sky. “It’s a huge crime for a female demon to occupy the human body.”

The Goddess of Fire Spirit looked up and her expression changed.

There, Guang Chengzi had his left hand behind his back and a huge seal in his right hand. He was slowly descending.

The universe around the Goddess of Fire Spirit was still imprisoned.

“Huo Ling, do you know your crime?”

“Guang Chengzi!”

A long crown formed from flames appeared on the Fire Spirit’s head. Her long dress was filled with sparks, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

“You’re so ruthless this time. You’re really not afraid of being punished by the heavens!”

The Heaven Seal in Guang Chengzi’s hand suddenly enlarged. An invisible barrier appeared around the Fire Spirit.

The leader of the twelve Golden Immortals said coldly, “Since you’re so rude, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

After saying that, Guang Chengzi was about to take out the Heaven Seal when the Goddess of Fire Spirit’s breathing froze.

Yang Jian frowned slightly and said loudly, “Uncle-Master, there’s no need for the two sects to fight during the God-Conferment Tribulation!”

Nezha was ultimately still a child. At that moment, he had yet to enter a state of anger. He did not dare to speak and only looked at the Goddess of Fire Spirit and Yang Jian worriedly.

“Yang Jian, Nezha, leave.”

Guang Chengzi said calmly. The Heaven Seal shone brightly and pressed towards the Fire Spirit.

Yang Jian leaped up, but he did not hesitate at all and punched the Heaven Seal!

The death of the Goddess of Golden Light had taught him something.

If he wanted to persist in his beliefs, he had to follow his beliefs. He could not hesitate at all!

Guang Chengzi frowned and immediately pointed at Yang Jian!

At that moment.

Yang Jian’s figure suddenly stopped and collided with an invisible “air wall”. The Heaven Splitting Seal strangely flew into the sky and quickly sped up. In an extremely short moment, it turned into a stream of light!

Guang Chengzi was stunned. He looked up into the sky and happened to see his seal turn into the size of a mountain.

However, on the peak of the mountain, a blurry figure stood with his hands behind his back. He seemed to have stomped his right foot without using any strength.

Explosions sounded one after another. Cracks appeared on each side of the Heaven Seal!

In the next moment, the huge seal, accompanied by muffled thunder, shattered in the sky!

The countless fragments that exploded strangely remained motionless!

The figure that had shattered the Heaven Seal flickered and disappeared. An aura appeared behind Guang Chengzi.

Guang Chengzi’s voice trembled and his spiritual perception trembled. He immediately shouted, “Junior Brother Changgeng! There’s something else going on. Please listen to me...”

There was no time for him to continue.

Behind him!

Behind Guang Chengzi!

A crack appeared in the universe. A huge hand grabbed out and pointed at Guang Chengzi’s back.

Immortal light surged around Guang Chengzi. He turned around and threw out several streams of light.

However, a few streams of light easily penetrated the “huge hand”. The huge hand immediately revealed the color of the paper pulp inside.

Paper effigies!

Guang Chengzi suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Immediately, his essence soul was sealed and his soul was trapped. The last thing he sensed was someone grabbing his neck and lifting him up before throwing him to the ground.

Junior Brother Changgeng should be trapped by Grandmaster...

...

At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in Chaoge City.

Wei Ziqi, who was still beaming a moment ago, was now covered in cold sweat.

A broad-bladed sword was pressed against Wei Ziqi’s neck. There was a cold snort. The sword slashed across, bringing with it a hint of red.

“This child is not allowed to enter the temple.”
