A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 141 This is the will of Heaven; if you have a problem, go find Heaven.

Venus's words immediately piqued the Jade Emperor's interest.

He had heard that the little cat had stolen all the magical treasures of the Thunder Department because of its tribulation.

Although the kitten was later tricked back by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it certainly hadn't vented its anger yet.

Based on past experience, this God of Wealth is usually very busy. If he has free time today, he will either be drinking or playing chess and bragging.

But today it has descended to the mortal realm, which is truly unbelievable.

As for why Lei Bu was following him so secretly, there must be a reason.

Upon realizing this, the Jade Emperor's eyes lit up.

"Bring me my Haotian Mirror, I want to watch the show."

The entire Thunder Department has been mobilized more than once or twice.

Wen Zhong was, after all, the former Grand Tutor of the Yin Shang Dynasty. He liked to lead troops to tour the Three Realms, make thunder, and scare away the demons and monsters of the Three Realms. This was a common occurrence for him.

It was only because Venus was observant that she discovered the trick; otherwise, she might not have noticed it.

However, the Jade Emperor was puzzled. Taibai Jinxing said that Wen Zhong almost grabbed the Purple Lightning Hammer and smashed it at Zhao Gongming several times. Why was that?

Thinking about it carefully, according to seniority, Wen Zhong should address Zhao Gongming as his senior uncle.

Although Zhao Gongming was the eldest disciple of the outer sect, he held extremely high prestige within the Jie Sect back then.

Considering the outer sect of that sect, with tens of thousands of disciples, the fact that this "God of Wealth" could keep these people completely subdued shows that his abilities are not just empty words.

Although he had doubts, the Jade Emperor was a man of great stature, and with a little thought, he naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

This matter must be related to that cat.

Outside Jinxia Cave.

Yu Ding has prepared everything.

This trip to Jade Void Palace is no small matter; he must make all the necessary preparations, especially the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the treasure of his Golden Cloud Cave, which he must also bring along.

If he dies, it won't be a big deal, but if the cat dies, then there will be a big problem.

-

I heard Yun Zhongzi mention it before when we were in Yuzhu Cave.

He sensed the aura of several saints emanating from this cat.

Leaving aside the saints of the Jie Sect from back then, there was also the Heavenly Venerable, and the Western saint Zhunti.

But since there are Heavenly Venerables and Saints of the Intercepting Sect, it's hard to guarantee that there's a Supreme Saint behind him.

But if Sage Zhunti is also involved, then Sage Jieyin might also be involved.

There are only six sages in the world, and there are very likely five standing behind this cat.

And Kunlun Mountain is the sacred ground of the Celestial Venerable. If something were to happen in the Celestial Venerable's sacred ground, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Yu Ding's palms were almost completely covered in cold sweat.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see the Three Realms descend into chaos once again.

Yu Ding stood there in deep thought for a long time, wondering whether he should call for help.

But then he thought, even if he called out to his fellow disciples from the Chan Sect, they probably wouldn't come if they heard he was a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Thinking of this, Yu Ding gritted his teeth and said, "Junior brother, maybe we should forget it. Although the Heavenly Venerable said he would allow you to go in, there's no guarantee that there won't be any dangers involved."

Su Bai frowned, realizing that this Jade Cauldron Immortal was truly a contradiction.

One minute I'm trying to persuade him not to go, the next I'm offering to go with him, and now I'm saying forget it.

Just as Su Bai was about to say something, a tinkling sound suddenly came from the sky.

If you listen carefully, the sound is like coins clinking together in a pocket.

Looking up, they saw that Zhao Gongming had arrived at this place at some point.

Zhao Gongming spotted the jade cauldron immediately. Without the slightest hesitation, the jade ruyi in his hand instantly grew larger, and he smashed it down hard on the head of the jade cauldron.

"You bastard! How dare you harm my senior brother?"

Upon seeing an acquaintance, Yu Ding was initially taken aback. However, when the acquaintance picked up the jade ruyi and smashed it towards his head, Yu Ding couldn't help but retreat abruptly.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. This humble Daoist and this junior brother, the little cat, have not had any conflict."

"Bullshit! That's what you said back when your Chan Sect killed my Jie Sect disciples."

"Now I am the righteous god of the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Finance, and I see you bullying a kitten who has only recently become an immortal. As a god of the Heavenly Court, how can I sit idly by?"

"This cat has only recently become an immortal. Once he stabilizes his cultivation, he will ascend to the Immortal Realm and will surely receive an imperial decree from His Majesty the Jade Emperor."

"You rogue cultivator dare to harm a celestial official appointed by my Heavenly Court! You deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gongming withdrew the jade ruyi, and then a huge gold ingot was smashed heavily towards the jade cauldron.

Yu Ding felt bitter.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he never retaliated against Zhao Gongming's attacks, only dodging them.

But just as he was retreating, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by a loud explosion, and a huge crater appeared directly behind him.

Yu Ding lost his footing and suddenly fell backward.

At the same time, Wen Zhong's voice echoed from above the clouds: "What kind of rogue cultivator dares to cause trouble here? Could it be that you are plotting to kill and steal elixirs?"

"If that is the case, then he is an evil cultivator and should be punished by the thunder of the twenty-five righteous gods of my Thunder Department."

Yu Ding's eye twitched slightly; it was another familiar face.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I did not mean that. This cat and I are, in a sense, fellow disciples!"

Before she could finish speaking, Han Zhixian's voice came from the clouds.

"How dare you! The Thunder Ancestor Heavenly Venerable has spoken; you have no right to answer. Do you even respect the righteous gods of the Thunder Department of my Heavenly Court?"

"Heavenly Venerable, I believe this person is an evil cultivator. Don't waste words with him, just kill him!"

A land of nothingness.

Yuan Shi's face turned ashen.

Although he could tell that these Heavenly Gods weren't going all out, he still couldn't stand seeing them ganging up on him.

After a long silence, his voice reached the old Taoist's ears.

"Junior brother, that's going too far!"

"Hey, second brother, what's so excessive?" The old Taoist was clearly in a very good mood, drinking one cup of wine after another.

Every now and then, they would grab Jinwu by the neck and force him to drink a cup too.

"Junior brother, using numbers to bully the few, won't that make us a laughingstock?"

-

"What you're saying is ridiculous. I didn't order them to do it. This is the will of Heaven, the way of Heaven. What does it have to do with me?"

"If you're not satisfied, you can go and complain to Heaven. See if Heaven will listen to you."

Above the Immortal Sect, Yuanshi's breath hitched; there was truly no way to refute those words.

Come to think of it, those were the words he and the Supreme Elder used to coax the old Taoist priest.

Now, those words are being used against him instead.

heaven.

Venus stood beside the Jade Emperor, gazing at the scene reflected in the Haotian Mirror. After a moment's hesitation, he softly asked, "Your Majesty, should we summon back the Thunder God?"

The Jade Emperor glanced at him and asked, "Why?"

Venus shook his head and said, "This move is ultimately somewhat inappropriate. After all, Jade Cauldron Immortal is an immortal of the Chan Sect. Although he does not hold an official position in the Heavenly Court, he should still be given some face."

The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a flick of his hand, the Haotian Mirror vanished.

"Come, tell me, what did you see?"

Taibai was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes darted around slightly, and he said with a grin, "Your Majesty, I didn't see anything."
