Chapter 553: Betting Against Hongjun

Yes, the real master is here.

Hongjun who appeared here was just a shadow, which was of no threat to Li Pingan, and was not worth killing.

It was this scene that was more or less embarrassing.

Li Pingan laughed awkwardly, flicked his sleeves to cancel the transformation spell, and heard a light sound of "bang", revealing his true appearance, still dressed in his favorite black robe.

——It was all because of the beheading disaster of the White-clothed Emperor.

The nine-tailed fox bit his lower lip lightly, and the charm of his beautiful eyes faded, revealing emotions such as speechlessness, anger, and anger for the first time.

"Well, this is a necessary assessment before the Tiannu Guard officially joins the job."

Li Tiandi calmly found an excuse.

Hongjun's shadow said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is really in a good mood. He doesn't worry about so many major events in the Three Realms, but comes to plot against a weak woman."

"This woman is not simple."

Li Ping'an said with a smile:

"Didn't the ancestor come here too?

"Since the ancestor was forced to take action last time and lost his mind, the ancestor has been regarded as a first-class villain in the world. What the ancestor wants to do, I, the Emperor of Heaven, will naturally stop it."

Hongjun shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty can actually say some sarcastic words. It's rare that Your Majesty is willing to call me the ancestor."

"One thing is one thing."

Hongjun and Li Ping'an's eyes fell on the nine-tailed fox at the same time, but they didn't say anything to the nine-tailed fox.

And the nine-tailed fox didn't dare to say a word now.

Li Ping'an asked directly: "The ancestor came here to let the nine-tailed fox participate in the great calamity of the Conferred God?"

Hongjun thought for a while and said directly:

"Your Majesty should know what your teacher wants to do.

"I am just following orders this time. He asked me to push the progress of the catastrophe.

"Your Majesty seems to want to fight against the Heavenly Dao and the general trend. He thinks that although Your Majesty will not get any benefits by doing this, it will make things complicated, which is too unsafe."

"Teacher really cares about me."

Li Pingan shrugged:

"However, Teacher, don't worry about these. As the Emperor of Heaven, I have my own considerations on how to face the catastrophe.

"On the contrary, Master, you are a famous ancient figure, but today you come to threaten a Taiyi Jinxian. This is a bit too embarrassing."

"What famous figure?" Hongjun sighed, "I am just his old slave now."

Li Pingan was silent.

Hongjun said in a calm voice:

"Since Your Majesty does not allow the conspiracy against the nine-tailed fox, then I will not plot it. This matter will be reported back to Your Majesty's teacher.

"The nine-tailed fox is related to the Taoist immortal's confederation of gods, and is also a figure marked in advance by the Heavenly Dao.

"Although the Heavenly Dao infant spirit has been cleverly transformed into the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor by Taiqing, the Heavenly Dao's trend of promoting the Daoxian Conferred God Tribulation has not changed.

"When the Heavenly Dao gave birth to spirituality, it was already the most selfish thinking in the world, because it felt that it could represent the heaven and earth, and living beings were just grass, like fish scales.

"If the things that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor pursues are always to protect all living beings and save all spirits, then it will be inevitable that His Majesty will have differences with the Heavenly Dao in the future."

Li Pingan said: "Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will definitely teach Li Yiqing well and strive to make him a shackle to clamp the Heavenly Dao."

Hongjun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Pingan raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed in his heart.

It seems that the early birth of the Heavenly Dao infant spirit has indeed posed a certain threat to the transcendent teacher.

He stopped talking about Li Yiqing and said:

"Grandmaster, let's not leave today's protagonist aside. Since your plan has been exposed, you might as well give up."

"This matter can no longer be advanced. I think your teacher can understand."

Hongjun said slowly:

"After all, it is you who is blocking it.

"Now that I have appeared today, after thinking about it, I still have a few things I want to remind His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

"Grandmaster, please tell me."

Li Ping'an added: "Although I may not really listen."

"The Taoist Immortal Conferred God Tribulation should be the last variable in this world."

Hongjun said slowly:

"Although I don't know what your Majesty teacher wants to do, he may launch a general attack on the world at any time after the Conferred God Tribulation.

"My coming here today to plot against the Nine-tailed Fox is just an extremely small part of his huge plan. I will continue to take action later until he squeezes out the last bit of value.

"Your Majesty wants to seize the Chaos Bell, and this idea is correct.

"But I must remind your Majesty that the Chaos Bell is not in my hands. Like Donghuang Taiyi, I can only be regarded as borrowing the Chaos Bell for a period of time and mistakenly thought that I had obtained the Chaos Bell.

"The Chaos Bell belongs to your teacher, and it has always been."

Li Pingan frowned slightly.

Hongjun continued:

"Also, don't treat the Chaos Bell as a treasure, it has complete spirituality.

"This is also your only chance. If you can get the support of the Chaos Bell, you will become a variable that your teacher cannot control."

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Does the ancestor want to turn against us?"

"Turning against us? That's too much."

Hongjun Taoist sighed lightly:

"After all, I am just a living being in the world. If there is a glimmer of hope for this world, I will also give some help.

"He won't care about such a small matter.

"In fact, the fact that I am telling you this now is also within his expectations.

"He is too bored. He has been watching, calculating, and planning since before the creation of the world. He himself has not realized that he trained you just to add more changes to this game so that he can have more fun."

“I don’t really like the rhetoric of games and fun.”

Li Pingan said:

“The teacher may not care, but I still care.

"We are just participants in this world, and all living beings are a community."

Hongjun said: "This kind of thinking is very strange. You are obviously at the top of all living beings."

"Power is just a tool, mind and soul are the essence."

Li Pingan put his hands on his back:

"When Patriarch, you realize this, you may be able to find a way out of your own predicament."

"Am I being lectured?"

Hongjun said with a smile:

"In that case, why don't you and I make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"I have a spear that I can use as a bet."

Hongjun's eyes were full of smiles:

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is good at physical combat, and this spear is a perfect match for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "The teacher said that he has already ordered you to give me the God-killing Spear."

"Yeah?"

Hongjun was not embarrassed at all and just said:

"In that case, let me add some more chips, for example, tell His Majesty the Emperor a big secret about your teacher.

“The Fuxi clan was directly killed by your teacher because of the discovery of this secret.

"This is extremely important for whether you can find that glimmer of success in the future."

Li Ping'an:...

Did Hongjun do it on purpose?

Or was this the teacher plotting behind his back and deliberately misleading him?

Or maybe, after the last big failure, Hongjun has started to break the rules and want to take revenge on the transcendent teacher?

Li Ping'an's thoughts kept flashing, and he quickly nodded: "Okay, Grandmaster thinks I need to make some bets here."

"I want to get back the evil corpse," Hongjun said, "As long as His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven says a few nice words to Laojun, Taiqing can expel my evil corpse, and for you, the way of heaven will be less hidden."

"good."

Li Pingan nodded and agreed:

"The bet is clear, let's talk about what we bet on."

"The bets on both sides are not symmetrical. His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has taken a big advantage here."

Hongjun said calmly:

"So this bet is naturally a bit more difficult. How about whether His Majesty can win the favor of the Chaos Clock?

"If your majesty can win the favor of the Chaos Bell, you don't have to actually take the Chaos Bell. I will give you the secret of the divine spear and the revered master with both hands."

Li Ping'an laughed: "It seems you really want me to try to kill my teacher."

Hongjun was silent.

Li Pingan said quickly:

"The Patriarch has almost made it clear that the remnant soul of the Eastern Emperor is in the hands of the nine-tailed fox. As long as I can get the remnant soul of the Eastern Emperor, I can establish some connection with the Chaos Bell.

"In other words, although the Chaos Bell has always followed my teacher, the Chaos Bell must have some involvement in Donghuang Taiyi.

"If I can get the Chaos Clock to help me, my teacher will have less help, and my chances of winning will be better.

"Grandmaster, your current goal is to try to transcend yourself, right?"

Hongjun nodded calmly: "Not bad."

"bless."

Li Pingan said:

"Although I don't know if this is the plan my teacher asked you to implement, I still want the Chaos Clock."

"You and I have made a bet?"

"It's established."

"good."

Hongjun looked at the nine-tailed fox. The shadow disappeared with the wind, leaving only a chuckle.

"I look forward to His Majesty the Emperor's methods."

The peach blossom forest became quiet.

Li Ping'an stood there and analyzed it carefully for a while.

The nine-tailed fox just lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes seemed a little unfocused.

After a while, Li Pingan greeted:

"Dongwang, and you all, please show up."

A few leaves fell, and the Eastern King and a group of Skywrath Guards simultaneously recovered from the size of a mote of dust.

All the wrathful guards knelt down and saluted uniformly.

Niu Benben shouted: "The general is not doing things well, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Can your brain be damaged by eating grass?"

Li Pingan cursed angrily:

"You are so disguised? You have horns on your head and your body shape has not changed significantly. Why do you blame others for seeing you at a glance?

“I don’t even know how to change my body odor!”

Niu Benben hurriedly kowtows: "The last one will know the crime! The last one will know the crime!"

"Get up and release the Sky Fox Clan. Don't spread the word about Hongjun's appearance just now everywhere."

"yes!"

The nine-tailed fox looked up at Li Ping'an, his eye circles slightly red, and he was not using any charm skills at the moment.

Her weakness has now been exploited.

The nine-tailed fox asked sadly: "What will your Majesty do with me?"

Li Ping'an didn't say anything to her, just said:

"Take her back to the Heavenly Court and escort her into the Lingxiao Palace. The East King invites the Queen Mother and Laojun to come to the Lingxiao Palace together. The matter between the East Emperor Taiyi and the Chaos Bell is of great importance. This matter cannot be hidden from all parties, so as not to make them suspicious. ”

"yes!"

"The last general takes command!"

"Emperor of Heaven!"

The nine-tailed fox took two quick steps forward, looking a little excited:

"You won't kill him, right? He poses no threat to you and Heaven now. He has been sleeping. He...he only has a ray of soul left..."

Li Ping'an said calmly: "I can read Emperor Jun's memory and I can confirm that Donghuang Taiyi has not massacred the human race, and Donghuang Taiyi has no grudge against me."

"Your Majesty, can you promise it personally?"

The nine-tailed fox was trembling all over.

She held her thighs and knelt down, tears falling continuously:

"As long as you say that you will not destroy his remaining soul, I will tell you everything I know.

"I don't understand what Hongjun said to you just now, but I know you must have some big plan.

"I just want him to leave something behind..."

Li Ping'an's eyes were a little more reluctant.

He said calmly: "I can only promise that I will not take action, but Donghuang Taiyi's hands are stained with the blood of too many witch clan masters. Hou Tu Daoyou and the witch clan are now in charge of the underworld..."

The nine-tailed fox's eyes lost focus and slowly sat down.

Li Ping'an waved his hand.

Several female Tiannu Guards stepped forward, trapped and imprisoned the nine-tailed fox who did not resist, and took it back to heaven.

...

An hour later.

Over the East China Sea.

Li Dazhi was a little drunk, raised his hand and swallowed a sobering pill, and hurried to heaven with Zhao Gongming and Fairy Qiongxiao.

Zhao Gongming asked: "What are you so anxious about?"

"I don't know!"

Li Dazhi muttered:

"Ping An, hey, His Majesty sent me a letter, just asking me to call two disciples of Jiejiao to be a witness, saying that it is related to the end of the world. Qingsu and Guiling have also returned, and the Chanjiao has also called."

"Witness?"

"The end of the great catastrophe?"

Zhao Gongming stroked his long beard and said with a smile:

"The Taoist Conferred God Tribulation has not yet occurred, and the end of the great catastrophe is already being planned. Should we say that our Majesty is a little too ambitious?"

"This can't be considered too ambitious."

Li Dazhi shook his head:

"It can only be said that the Conferred God Tribulation is a process, and surviving the end of the catastrophe is the goal. In the process, accumulate enough strength, and then break through the difficulty of the extinction of heaven and earth.

"Then, everyone will go back to their own homes, find their own mothers, and enjoy their practice in peace and stability. ”

Zhao Gongming said: “It is not so easy to get through the matter of Nirvana. I have let it go. I have lived too long from ancient times to now. My life is worth it.”

Li Dazhi nudged Zhao Gongming with his elbow: “Is it really worth it? You haven’t experienced the good of fate. If you have a few more children, you will have concerns again.”

Zhao Gongming smiled and shook his head.

Fairy Qiongxiao whispered: “Sister Jinling has agreed to it, don’t hesitate, big brother.”

Li Dazhi was shocked, and his eyes were full of flames of gossip.

Zhao Gongming said: “Wait until you pass the Taoist immortal tribulation. The purpose of cultivation is to be free, and this kind of thing should also be done. Now there is a heavy pressure in front of you, and you can’t be free.”

“Oh,” Qiongxiao complained, “Big brother, you just think too much. "

Li Dazhi sighed in his heart.

Still at ease?

If the Taoist Conferred God Tribulation develops normally, the Golden Spirit Mother and you will both be on the list, one will become Dou Mu Yuanjun and the other will become Wu Caishen. The Three Xiaos will also die once and their remaining souls will be on the list. The Hunyuan Golden Bowl will become a magic weapon for bathing newborns.

Unfortunately, Li Dazhi did not dare to say this directly.

Li Dazhi smiled and said, "We humans have a saying, if there are flowers to be picked, pick them immediately, don't wait until there are no flowers and empty branches."

"We have reached the gate of heaven!"

Zhao Gongming changed the subject:

"Please ask the Emperor of Heaven to take us in to observe."

"What to observe? There has been no change recently. "

Li Dazhi smiled and led the two great masters of Jiejiao to the gate of heaven. The gatekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. After a simple verification of their identities, he called for the "ferry boat".

A moment later.

Li Dazhi brought Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao to Lingxiao Palace.

There were more than ten figures in Lingxiao Palace.

Li Ping'an sat on the throne in the middle of the high platform, closing his eyes to rest.

On the throne placed at an angle on the side, the Queen Mother was looking down at the memorial in her hand, looking a little tired.

Below stood the King of the East and several important officials of the Heavenly Court.

Qingsu brought Gui Ling and stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back. Next to the nearest white jade pillar under the stage, opposite them were Guangchengzi, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and Yuding Zhenren, two of the twelve golden immortals of the Chanjiao.

Their sights were all focused on the front of the high stage.

There was a graceful figure kneeling with her head bowed, her pink dress wrapped around her graceful figure, and her long black hair spread out casually.

Nine-tailed fox?

Li Dazhi blinked, but did not ask any more questions. He turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao greeted Li Pingan with a fist, and Li Pingan opened his eyes and returned the greeting. Then Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao went to Gui Lingling together.

"What's going on?" Qiongxiao asked by voice transmission.

"I don't know. I was just called here."

Gui Lingling's clear eyes were full of innocence.

"Just wait, don't pass on the voice. "

Zhao Gongming gave a voice instruction, then he looked into Guangchengzi's eyes and nodded to each other as a greeting.

Moo——

Outside the palace, there was a call from the green bull. It was Laojun riding the green bull. Except for Li Ping'an and the Queen Mother, all the immortals went to the palace gate to greet him.

It was not only Laojun who came. An unknown older male youth of the human race who was supposed to be guarding Xuandu City came here because he happened to come to Tushita Palace for a meal. He was called by Laojun to come here together.

So, one of the participants in the ancient battle of the Heavenly Palace, the terminator of Donghuang Taiyi - Xuandu Master, also arrived here.

Li Ping'an smiled secretly in his heart.

This was obviously arranged deliberately by Master Taiqing.

It's good this way;

The ancient mystery about the Chaos Bell and Donghuang Taiyi may really be solved today.
