The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 163 Weighing
"I am a humble person. Since my master ascended to heaven, I have been appointed as the headmaster." Zhao Sheng said.

“The jade pendant will reveal its true appearance only when it is infused with magical power above the third level of the soul. Now that you have come here alone, you must have recognized the token.” said the fifth fairy.

Zhao Sheng did not respond. He smiled, lowering his eyebrows, looking even more kind and benevolent. "It is a great honor for our Zhengyi Sect to have such a distinguished guest. If you have any errands, just let me know. Although our sect is not well-known in the mortal world, thanks to the great fortune of our master, we still have some influence in Shu."

"Since Master Zhao said so, I will speak frankly. Since I have come to your door, I naturally have a request for your sect." The fifth fairy said, her eyes flashed, and she spoke quickly, "I came here for myself. My granddaughter was trapped by the Golden Bull Star Lord and trapped in the mortal world. I hope your sect can help. Master Zhao can invite Taoist Wang to come out as well. After the matter is resolved, my granddaughter will naturally reward you handsomely."

Zhao Sheng only felt a buzzing in his ears, and then his scalp went numb. He had just agreed, but in fact he was just being polite. Considering the cultivation level of the Fifth Fairy, his first impression was naturally that she was the maid of some important figure. Although it was not allowed by the rules of heaven to come down to the mortal world privately, with the abilities of those important figures, it had actually been a tacit rule. He originally thought that it was just some small matter that required some assistance from their local sect. This had happened before, and it would not be a big deal, but the one in heaven needed to avoid suspicion. It was a favor without any cost, and could often bring a lot of favors.

Who would have expected that what he heard was such a big thing? The little fairy in front of him didn't know whether it was because she was a rookie and didn't know the ways of the world, or she did it on purpose, not wanting him to shirk, so she told him the whole thing right away.

Granddaughter.

Taurus star god.

A star is a small moon, controlling one side.

Most of those who can be called Star Lords in the heavenly realm have reached the Golden Immortal realm. Even the lowest one must have gone very far in the fairyland, and his own strength should not be underestimated. However, an ordinary Star Lord is obviously inferior to the granddaughter. No one is a fool, and the origin of the dispute is very likely to involve deeper levels later.

The Emperor Ziwei of Zhongtian rules over all the stars, and all the star gods are his direct subordinates. In recent years, due to the North Ming War, the reputation of the Emperor Ziwei has grown, but his granddaughter is the bloodline of that man. The man in the center of the throne has been living in seclusion in recent years and has not made a sound for a long time. According to the news occasionally passed down by the master, there has not been a grand court meeting in the sky for a long time. These news are intriguing just by listening to them, and even more meaningful if you savor them carefully.

Zhao Sheng's mouth was bitter. How could a small sect like his Zhengyi Sect get involved in such a game between big men? If he was really involved, no matter which side wanted to, he could easily destroy his Zhengyi Sect and kill all the people and animals. Even the master in heaven would...

In fact, it is not without clues. Occasionally, news of friction between the Star God and various departments of the Heavenly Court would be reported in the sky, but it would disappear quickly and the immortals were very secretive about it. In Shu, Wang Chang was already able to rival the five major sects when he first ascended to the immortal gate. Now he has been cultivating for many years. As long as the Zhengyi Sect is willing, it would be easy for him to sweep across the five major sects and regain the lost territory. However, he has been slow to act. Even the Qingcheng Mountain, except for the three core peaks, has been allowed to be occupied by monsters. He has maintained the previous situation, keeping a low profile and not making any moves. It is not that he cannot do so, but the situation is like this, it is better to be still than to move.

But man proposes, God disposes. When you sit at home, things may come to you from heaven.

“Is that so?” Zhao Sheng showed a perfect expression of gaffe on his face. “This… this… Please forgive me, I am really a little… a little…” He seemed to be speaking incoherently, but his mind was working rapidly, thinking about how to shirk responsibility. “I wonder if you have any other evidence. After all, this matter involves the Heavenly Family, and we in the lower world are shallow in knowledge. It’s really…”

"You don't want to help." The fifth fairy's voice suddenly turned cold. "Why do you say that, sir? Can't the old Taoist even think twice about such a big matter?" Zhao Sheng's face also turned serious.

"I have already shown her the token and explained the reason. You keep making excuses. If anything happens to your granddaughter, will you be able to handle it?" said the fifth fairy.

"Although the token is real, you are just a maid, yet you dare to say such a big thing. It is simply shocking. Isn't it normal for me to hesitate? Now that you react like this, I think what you said is completely false." Zhao Sheng's face suddenly showed a fierce light, "How dare you fabricate such a big thing and provoke internal strife in the Heavenly Court. I think you have bad intentions!"

"Oh!"

"puff!"

There was a muffled sound at first, which turned out to be Zhao Sheng's sudden attack, followed by the sound of spitting blood. Quexian stepped forward and blocked the attack. The powerful magic power poured into her internal organs, and her body was thrown up. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale, but Quexian's body did not fly out. There was a flash of golden light all around, and it was unknown when a ban had been set up here. After a swaying, under the ripples like water waves, Quexian slid down softly. She lost the ability to resist after only one blow.

"Humph!"

Zhao Sheng snorted coldly, his left hand formed into a claw, and immediately he grabbed the five fairies. He planned to make a decisive move and capture the five fairies once and for all. He already had a plan in his mind. After hearing those words, it would be impossible to escape unscathed. His plan now was to capture the maid, and then pretend to go to heaven with the token of the ancestor, and deliberately use some excuses to delay the time on the way. In fact, he would never go to heaven before the matter became clear.

When everything is settled, if what she said is false, that would be the best. If it is true...

Then I would learn the truth by chance, and then commit suicide in despair, and destroy my soul out of fear. Then my actions today would be over. Even afterwards, if a powerful person with great magic power could look back and unable to discern my thoughts, just by looking at my actions, they would only come to the conclusion that I was a fool. As for why I was greedy for credit and unwilling to report it, it was because I didn't have much time left and wanted to take all the credit. I was blinded by greed.

Everything was done by himself and had nothing to do with the sect. Although his master and the sect would most likely be angered in the future, he could probably still be saved under the system of Heaven. This was the best solution he could think of now.

"Hehe, this is a great achievement that came right to my doorstep. I am worried that my days are numbered, so I'll take you first, you brave maid, and ask for reward from the heavens. Who knows, there may be another chance. If I can ascend to heaven, that would be the best. At the very least, it can extend my life a bit!"

Zhao Sheng suppressed his bitterness, with all sorts of thoughts in his mind, but he pretended to be happy on the surface.
