Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 309

In Xiqi, Ji Chang received Emperor Xin's decree. Although he knew the journey was extremely dangerous, he still chose to obey, since the time was not yet ripe to raise an army.

Moreover, he consulted a fortune teller and learned that although he would face some hardships, his life would not be in danger.

The nine-headed pheasant spirit disguised himself as a follower and accompanied Ji Chang to Chaoge.

A man in black robes was secretly watching Ji Chang's situation. The magic weapon in his hand was the one that Hongjun had specially prepared for Tongtian when they were at the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

Ji Chang moved very quickly; half a month later, he had already traveled three thousand miles away from Xiqi.

Just as the convoy was resting at the foot of a desolate mountain, they suddenly saw lightning and thunder.

Then, a cry was heard.

Upon hearing the crying, Ji Chang's face showed a look of surprise.

Then, he took out his divination tools and cast a divination for himself. The divination result showed great fortune and that this child was no ordinary person.

"Find the source of the crying immediately," Ji Chang said to those around him.

Not long after, a burly man carrying an infant with a face covered in indigo blue came before Ji Chang.

"My lord, this baby certainly doesn't look like an ordinary person." The burly man said nervously.

After all, they were just ordinary people, and encountering such a mysterious thing in the mountains was really unsettling.

Ji Chang, however, didn't care at all. He had even slept with demons, so what was there to be afraid of!

He took the child directly and held him in his arms, playing with him.

Not long after, the baby, who had been crying, began to giggle.

Ji Chang was overjoyed: "Good, good, good. This child is indeed destined for me. From now on, he will be my hundredth son."

Then she suddenly looked at the nine-headed pheasant spirit: "We have no offspring either, so why don't we let this child recognize you as his mother? That way, we'll have a child to keep us company."

His journey to Chaoge was fraught with peril, facing almost certain death. The powerful Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit was his only source of security. And this child, arriving at such a opportune moment, brought him much hope and filled the void left by the fact that his beautiful concubine, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit, could not bear him a child.

Before the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit could answer, a voice came from afar, gradually approaching.

"My lord, your journey to Chaoge is fraught with danger. Please entrust this child to me and let me raise him." The next moment, a Taoist priest with a face full of blessings appeared before Ji Chang.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Ji Chang's men became extremely wary.

However, Ji Chang himself was not very afraid: "Daoist Master, where do you come from, and on which sacred mountain do you cultivate?"

The Taoist priest said, "I am Yun Zhongzi, a member of the Chan Sect, and I cultivate in the Jade Pillar Cave of Zhongnan Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang was overjoyed: "So you are a high-ranking Taoist master of the Chan Sect!"

The nine-headed pheasant spirit instantly looked at Yun Zhongzi with vigilance. Although she was only following orders, she knew which side she was on. Wuzhuang Temple was fighting against the Chan Sect, and the people of the Chan Sect were her enemies.

Ji Chang: "Young Marquis, your journey to Chaoge this time was indeed fraught with peril. So, I'll entrust this adopted son to the Daoist priest for upbringing."

The Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit glared at Ji Chang with dissatisfaction. His son was given away without any regard for his own position!

She quickly said, "My lord, didn't you say you wanted this child to recognize me as his mother? I can raise him myself, why trouble the Taoist priest!"

Yun Zhongzi glanced at the nine-headed pheasant spirit. Although he could see through her transformation technique, he couldn't detect any demonic aura. He looked her up and down with some suspicion, then said disdainfully, "You lowly demon, what insidious schemes do you have for mingling in the human world?"
