Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 237 Stand Up Straight
Li Wushou, who had been closely monitoring the situation,

I noticed the change in the sky immediately.

Having experience with Tai Chi dojos, he naturally knew that this was someone from the Suspended Mountain.

Moreover, there was more than one person who came, because the horizon was quietly splitting in two, forming a clear north-south divide.

Seeing this, Li Wushou continued his slashing attacks, while pointing at Huo Yao Zhenren and cursing loudly:

"The ascension of the Heavenly God of Huazhou is imminent. This is a major event for Xuankong Mountain and also for Wangxian City. Although Wufang City is of lowly status and limited power, we always keep in mind Xuankong Mountain's teachings on maintaining stability and refining incense offerings."

For the important event of raising the Heavenly God in Huazhou, Wufang City was even willing to rush into the Misty Land to fight against the barbarians and evil spirits, just so as not to mess things up when raising the Heavenly God.

Now that we've finally managed to gather enough offerings, a mere collateral descendant of your Gongsun family dares to instigate a servant to openly insult the City God in front of the City God Temple using a baseless excuse!
They even used the guise of a competition to gouge out one of my family's City God's eyes!

Where does your Gongsun family place Wangxian City?

Where will the suspended mountain be placed then?

These words were spoken with fervor and passion, striking a chord deep within people's hearts.

The city gods watching instinctively empathized with the situation. This time, the annual tribute of incense offerings had suddenly doubled, catching most of them off guard and causing them to waste some time and effort.

The onlookers couldn't help but nod in agreement, feeling some sympathy for Wufangcheng's plight.

The clans were dismissive of such words, saying that if they thought it was too hard, they could choose not to be the City God or the priest; there were plenty of other people who could do it. However, they all became somewhat interested in the person making the accusation.

How could a local high priest possibly overpower the Gongsun family's inner cultivation Golden Core Fire Radiance True Person?
The opponent's Wood-Fire Golden Core, with the wood fueling the fire, created a raging inferno, making them no easy opponent.

And if I'm not mistaken, this priest is actually a person who relies entirely on his vital energy?

Is this still a human being?

Huo Yao Zhenren was utterly defeated by Li Wushou's attacks, panting heavily.

Although Li Wushou's slashing hadn't stopped while he was speaking, the frequency had decreased. After listening to Li Wushou's accusations, Huo Yao Zhenren, ignoring his own breath, felt an urge to speak up as well. He lowered his voice and replied with some resentment:

"Gongsun Xun has already been executed for his reckless behavior, and the two accomplices who gouged out one of the City God's eyes are also dead. What more do you want? Even if you are a disciple of Zhenhai, you can't bully people like this!"

Those below couldn't hear Huo Yao Zhenren's words very clearly, but they knew that Huo Yao Zhenren seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

A buzzing sound came from the void, and Li Wushou, who was still swinging his sword, heard a dragon's roar again. He then appropriately reduced his strength.

The next instant, a golden light flashed before their eyes, and a figure in a golden robe forcefully squeezed between Li Wushou and Huo Yao Zhenren, instantly extinguishing Huo Yao Zhenren's Wood Element Domain.

But after receiving a sword strike from Li Wushou, the Dragon King couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Such powerful blood energy!
This physical body is almost comparable to that of a dragon that has attained enlightenment, isn't it?

When did such a freak appear in Wufang City?

And what Huoyao just said about being a disciple of Zhenhai? Zhenhai Dazun?

Seeing the Dragon King appear, Li Wushou felt as if he had finally found someone to take charge, and shouted respectfully yet indignantly:

"Dragon King, you've finally arrived! These Gongsun family members have gone too far! With your ascension to the Heavenly Godhood imminent, they..."

The Dragon King waved his hand, interrupting Li Wushou.

The words were brief, but the Dragon King had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

First of all, he's a good kid, and he's working hard to raise the gods for me, the old man.

Judging from the child's accusation and Huoyao Zhenren's reply, it seems that the Five Surnames Gongsun of the North Bank have bullied the City God of the Five Directions City on the South Bank.

The two have never had anything in common, so why now?

Thinking of this, the Dragon King was filled with uncontrollable rage. It was all because he didn't want the Dragon King to raise the Heavenly God!

He had been staying at the Suspended Mountain for some time, and the Sea Patrol Envoy finally delivered the Heavenly Decree in the last few days.

It should have arrived earlier, but for some reason it was delayed for a few days and only arrived these past few days.

The matter of the suspended mountain floating in mid-air and the two veins raising the heavenly gods was also laid bare.

The Dragon King's worst fears have come true: the "Empty" lineage must find another person.

Even though the Dragon King had considered this outcome, he still felt somewhat disheartened upon hearing it.

Centuries of diligent work, yet still not enough to earn a single "Heavenly God's Token"?
Having lived to such an old age, he naturally knew that the two factions of the Floating Void were using this matter to vie for the right to speak, but as far as he was concerned, how innocent he was.
There are clearly many ways for the two to vie for the right to speak, but they chose to gamble with his own path.

Therefore, even though the floating vein indicated that it supported him, he was not actually very grateful.

Because he knew that the Floating Clan did not want to lose control of the Suspended Mountain and would inevitably support him.

Having just descended from the suspended mountain, the Dragon King overheard the child's accusations halfway down the mountain. He felt a deep sympathy for the child, as he hadn't expected the North Shore to be so eager to take action.

There were some things he understood, and others understood, but they couldn't be said out loud, so he didn't let the good child who supported him finish speaking.

Just now, Master Huoyao mentioned that the other party was a disciple of Zhenhai. Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's best not to reveal it.

Anyway, the other party is on the side of Wufang City, so he might be able to get some help from them.

Seeing that Li Wushou was still furious, the Dragon King felt even more sincere. It must be a child with such a simple mind that could win the favor of the Great Lord of the Sea.
However, now that the North Shore, led by the Kongzi lineage, has made its plans clear, it is clear that...

He no longer needs to compromise. As the agreement between the two factions is, let each rely on their own abilities!

Having made up his mind, the Dragon King silently stood in front of Li Wushou, then looked up at the sky without saying a word.

Amidst the vast expanse of clouds and mist, two enormous human faces slowly emerged, overlooking the entire Wangxian City.

The city of Wangxian, which had been agitated by the sounding of the alarm bells, fell silent instantly. Then, the entire city shouted in unison:

"Greetings, Ancestor Fu Kong!" Li Wushou stood behind the Dragon King and bowed slightly to show his respect.

The way the two patriarchs descended from the suspended mountain was similar to that of Xuan Yang Shangren, and even more magnificent. Their vast divine soul power pressed down from the sky, seemingly even more powerful than that of Xuan Yang Shangren.

Is it a deity transformation?
Based on the information available at present, Li Wushou cannot make a judgment.

But there's nothing to ponder about; we'll find out sooner or later.

He was still pondering the Dragon King's actions. Although the Dragon King hadn't uttered a word, his behavior confirmed many of his previous assumptions.

If the Dragon King's position as a celestial being were a sure thing, he wouldn't have needed to interrupt his hotheaded words and let him rant and rave. Regardless of whether he was a disciple of the Great Lord of Zhenhai, this matter would naturally be decided by Xuankong Mountain.

What does it have to do with the Dragon King?

The more the other party acts this way, the more it proves that the two floating sects have already made a decision regarding the matter of raising the heavenly gods. Even the Dragon King knows this, but no one wants to make it public.

That's enough. Someone who is suspected to be a disciple of the Great Venerable Zhenhai and can overpower someone with an inner golden core.

Not only will the Dragon King not give up, but the Fu Zi lineage, which wants to maintain its voice, will not give up either.

Having achieved this, Li Wushou only needed to maintain his image as a hot-blooded, sincere, and reverent young man who admired the Suspended Mountain.

The ancestors of the two floating branches of the Suspended Mountain were also somewhat confused at this moment.

The Dragon King heard what Huo Yao Zhenren said, and so did they. The two immediately focused their attention on Li Wushou.

His body was filled with energy and blood like a furnace, and his bones were like crystal. Such a physical body was truly extraordinary.

If he truly studied under Zhenhai, that would make sense!
After a quick glance, the two looked away, but their feelings were quite different.

The patriarch of the Floating Lineage guessed much like Li Wushou. Regardless of whether the other party was a disciple of the Great Venerable Zhenhai, his strength in suppressing Golden Core cultivators with his physical body was undeniable. This would be a great help in the current battle for the Heavenly Gods.

Moreover, judging from the other party's accusations just now, they have a good feeling towards Wufang City, Wangxian City, and Xuankong Mountain, which is good.

She's much better than that little girl in Wufang City who acted recklessly after worshipping the Sparrow Lord.

But what exactly is so magical about Wufang City?
How could two juniors who had formed connections with the Venerable One emerge one after another?

Moreover, it is said that Liu Qingmei had also quietly refined pure yang essence before.

If the other party truly is a disciple of Zhenhai, looking back now, was it really only Liu Qingmei, who had refined a trace of pure yang, who blocked the arrival of the Sparrow Lord in Wufang City that night? It seems that the Great Venerable Zhenhai also secretly appeared, didn't he?

That makes sense; he had long suspected something was amiss about what happened that night.

Given the ferocity of the Sparrow Lord, even a single avatar of his could not be taken down by Liu Qingmei's pure yang yin spirit.

Given the other party's temperament, being struck by Liu Qingmei and losing the entire Five Directions City would be the least of their worries.

But Wufang City was completely unharmed.

It seems that this change is very likely related to the Great Lord Zhenhai.

Unlike the joyful mood of the Floating Lineage Master, the Empty Lineage Master was somewhat speechless.

He wasn't actually worried about whether Li Wushou was a disciple of Zhenhai Dazun; at this moment, he felt extremely dissatisfied with Huoyao Zhenren's stupidity and cowardice.

The moment he arrived, before he could even utter a single word, Master Huoyao had already admitted his mistake.

Not only did they put the matter to rest, they also revealed that the other party was a disciple of the Great Master Zhenhai.
Then what is the purpose of my coming here?
Should we uphold justice for the other party?

How can there be such a stupid person?

If that's the case, you might as well not have bothered others in the first place. Now you've not only ruined your own reputation, but you've also made him lose face.

The two floating sects had just finished discussing the matter of raising the heavenly gods on the suspended mountain.

At this moment, the Gongsun family of the Five Surnames sounded the alarm. When he heard Elder Gongsun's message, he actually praised the Gongsun family in his heart.

He originally thought that the Gongsun family had anticipated his thoughts and thus used this as an excuse to cause a dispute, and then announced that the Kongzi lineage was going to raise a heavenly god on its own.

As soon as the event was about to begin, the Fire Star pulled this stunt on him.

Regardless of whether the other party is truly a disciple of Zhenhai, you can simply pretend you don't know; it's truly foolish to the point of being speechless.

For a moment, the world fell into an eerie silence.

After a long silence, the patriarch of the Floating Lineage spoke:
"Since Gongsun Huoyao has already made his decision on the matter, let's drop it."

This is also to inform Wangxian that the election of a Heavenly God in Huazhou is imminent. In order to ensure the success of this matter and to win the hearts of the people, one candidate will be nominated from each of the north and south banks of Hengyang River to be elected as the Heavenly God.

Seven days later, a grand gathering of all the gods will be held at the Suspended Mountain to officially announce this to the entire continent!

These words caused an uproar in Wangxian City.

But then the patriarch of the Fu lineage spoke again:
"The five surnames, seven prominent families, and twenty-four clans shall each send one person to the Hanging Mountain immediately to discuss the matter of raising the Heavenly God!"

After speaking, the Floating Lineage Patriarch paused for a moment. Seeing that the Empty Lineage Patriarch remained silent, he also prepared to return.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the patriarch of the Kongzi lineage spoke up:
"Let's bring this priest along!"

The sound did not travel throughout the city; only Li Wushou, the Dragon King, and others heard it.

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, the founder of the Kongzi lineage first dispersed his face.

What was originally a good opportunity for Kongzi to take the initiative was completely ruined by that idiot Huoyao.

He didn't want to let this matter go!
The sea patrol envoy of the Great Lord of the Sea sent the Heavenly God's Decree, but at this moment the person was still on the Suspended Mountain.

He wanted to ask the other party to verify whether the other party was indeed a disciple of the Great Master Zhenhai!
