The Daoist boy Qingfeng was a disciple of Zhenyuan Daxian, who had attained the Taiyi Dao Fruit. Their closeness was no different from that of a personal disciple.
If killing the Supreme One could really implicate Qingfeng, it would undoubtedly be a huge problem, and even bystanders like them would be affected.
Thinking of this, the Golden Immortals couldn't help but offer their advice:
"Your Majesty! This person must not be killed!"
"Please, Your Excellency, show mercy and spare the life of the Heavenly Palace Supreme!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider! Please reconsider!"
Hearing the advice of the immortals around him, the Supreme Being, whose face was covered in blood, smiled.
However, he did not display any smug or petty attitude to provoke Luo Tian, but instead spoke sincerely:
"Your Excellency defeated me, so I admit my skills are inferior and I voluntarily accept the punishment."
"I beg Your Excellency to spare me this time, out of respect for Patriarch Qingfeng."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian released his hand from the Supreme's head and slowly stood up.
The Supreme Being was overjoyed and was about to stand up from the deep pit when he saw a foot lift up heavily and then fall down!
"Oh!"
The head exploded like a watermelon, the body of the Immaculate Golden Immortal was destroyed, and the soul and true spirit rapidly perished under the will of death.
In the final instant of his fading consciousness, the Supreme Being seemed to hear a calm and serene voice.
“A disciple of Zhen Yuanzi? After this matter is resolved, I’m going to settle a score with him.”
Chapter 304 Does He Dare? (Two-in-One)
Luo Tianping's calm words went largely unnoticed, as everyone remained absorbed in the scene of the Supreme Being's fall after revealing his identity.
The high and mighty master of the Nine Heavens Palace, the direct descendant of Qingfeng, the Daoist attendant of Zhenyuan Daxian, was crushed to death by Luo Tian like an ant.
The shocking scene contrasted sharply with Luo Tian's nonchalant attitude.
This outcome left the group of Golden Immortals feeling a sense of inexplicable absurdity.
"You...you killed him?"
A golden immortal dressed in silver-white armor couldn't help but ask.
Even though the scene was clearly displayed before their eyes, they still found it hard to believe that someone in the Xuanhuang Great World could kill a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple.
As soon as this Golden Immortal spoke, the other Golden Immortals followed suit:
"Although Your Majesty possesses unparalleled supernatural powers, he is a member of the Wuzhuang Temple. A minor punishment is enough to serve as a warning. You cannot kill him!"
“There is a great being behind Wuzhuang Temple. If your actions anger Him, you may be in danger of losing your life.”
"If Wuzhuang Temple is held accountable, everyone present will be punished, and it may even bring disaster to their clan!"
"Your Excellency is still too reckless."
Although the Golden Immortals spoke earnestly, Luo Tian knew very well that they spoke so simply because they could neither afford to offend him nor the Wuzhuang Temple, which was regarded as the source of the Xuanhuang Great World's lineage.
If they had the power, they would probably want to send me to Wuzhuang Temple right now to clear their name and try to curry favor with Wuzhuang Temple.
The purpose of saying all this now is simply to make a statement so that I can exonerate myself when Wuzhuang Temple investigates later.
Thinking of this, Luo Tian put his hands behind his back and looked at the Golden Immortals in front of him with great interest, and said:
"So, what do you think I should do now?"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of several Golden Immortals lit up, and an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom immediately spoke earnestly:
"If Your Excellency were to go to Wuzhuang Temple to apologize with a bundle of thorns on your back, we would be willing to explain the cause and effect to Your Excellency in order to gain Qingfeng Daotong's forgiveness. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We are willing to stand up for His Excellency and beg Qingfeng Daotong's forgiveness."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that Qingfeng Daotong is just a boy. He is one of the two great boys under the Great Immortal. It is said that he existed before the Great Immortal created the Xuanhuang Great World."
The Qingfeng Daoist is in charge of many sects and lineages in the Xuanhuang Great World, while the Mingyue Daoist is said to manage the source behind the Lesser Underworld.
"There is nothing shameful about you apologizing to Daoist Qingfeng!"
The group of Golden Immortals looked eager, knowing full well that they were no match for Luo Tian, so they never even considered capturing him.
However, if they could trick Luo Tian into going to Wuzhuang Temple, it would definitely be a great achievement that could make amends for their past mistakes.
As long as the goal is achieved, there is no need to worry about Wuzhuang Temple holding them accountable afterward.
Faced with these seemingly sincere sword intents, Luo Tian lowered his head as if to think seriously for a moment before nodding and saying:
“What you say makes some sense. After today’s business is over, you will accompany me to Wuzhuang Temple!”
Luo Tian readily agreed, which delighted the group of Golden Immortals. They hadn't expected that Luo Tian, who had previously seemed like an invincible and ferocious god, would be so easy to talk to.
They did not doubt Luo Tian's purpose in going to Wuzhuang Temple. After all, Wuzhuang Temple was backed by a great being, and although Luo Tian was powerful, he had nothing to do with such a great being.
However, some Golden Immortals felt that the time was too long, so they spoke up:
"This is a very important matter. Why don't you come with us to Wuzhuang Temple first to deal with other things?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the Golden Immortal who had spoken.
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
The Golden Immortal's face flushed red, and then he fell silent.
Seeing the current situation, Yin Changsheng, who had followed along, waved his hand and cast a Heaven-Piercing Seal to shield all the immortals' senses before speaking to Luo Tian with a slightly anxious expression:
"Lord Luo, are you really going to Wuzhuang Temple?"
"Although their purpose was definitely to trick you into going to Wuzhuang Temple and then hand you over to Qingfeng Daotong to avoid being angered by Wuzhuang Temple."
I know that with your strength, you have no need to fear the so-called Qingfeng Daotong, but after all, there is a great being behind the Wuzhuang Temple. We should think carefully before acting.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian smiled slightly and shook his head, saying:
"Do you think I'd be fooled by these guys?"
"These guys are so happy now, but they won't even be able to cry when they get to Wuzhuang Temple."
Yin Changsheng first looked puzzled, then his expression turned to one of shock and horror as he asked, "Are you planning to directly attack Wuzhuang Temple?"
"What are you thinking about?" Luo Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably:
Do I look like the kind of person who resorts to violence to solve problems at the slightest disagreement?
Yin Changsheng glanced discreetly at the headless corpse of the Supreme Being and the massive remains of the demonic dragon on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly and said:
No! Of course not!
Luo Tian didn't notice Yin Changsheng's strange gaze and continued speaking to himself:
"Since this guy called Supreme is related to Zhen Yuanzi, and those people behind him are willing to testify for the whole thing, I can just ask Zhen Yuanzi to settle some things."
With so many Golden Immortals from the Xuanhuang Great World as witnesses, even that old fox Zhen Yuanzi can't very well deny it. We should be able to squeeze a hefty sum out of him then!
Yin Changsheng was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"Extorting...exploiting the fortune teller?"
Although Yin Changsheng vaguely knew that Luo Tian was a great being, hearing such words from Luo Tian's mouth still shattered Yin Changsheng's worldview.
The name Zhenyuan Daxian accompanies almost every person in the Xuanhuang Great World from birth to death.
Even those unscrupulous demons dared not easily offend Zhenyuan Daxian when compiling their demonic scriptures.
As the great being who rules this realm, Zhenyuan Daxian is supreme in the eyes of everyone in the Xuanhuang Great World.
Luo Tian casually mentioned extorting Zhenyuan Daxian, and he even brought a group of Zhenyuan Daxian's descendants to extort money based on their testimonies. This feeling left Yin Changsheng speechless.
After glancing at the Golden Immortals whose faces were filled with joy, Yin Changsheng's eyes quickly turned to pity.
These Golden Immortals wanted to use the name of Wuzhuang Temple to lure Luo Tian to Wuzhuang Temple, and then hand him over to Qingfeng Daotong for disposal.
But they never imagined that Luo Tian had already used them as tools to extort money from them.
If the Golden Immortals present knew the purpose of their journey, they would probably rather die than go to Wuzhuang Temple.
Death and the loss of one's spiritual essence are minor matters, but causing a great being to lose face is something that cannot be resolved simply by death.
Thinking of this, Yin Changsheng couldn't help but ask Luo Tian again:
"Lord Luo, aren't you worried that the Great Immortal will turn against you after you scheme against him like this?"
Yin Changsheng's concerns were not unfounded. She was not clear about the exact division of strength among great beings, but in her eyes, Zhenyuan Daxian had existed for countless years and his strength was very likely stronger than Luo Tian's.
If Zhenyuan Daxian were to turn against them and make a move, it might backfire.
In response to Yin Changsheng's concerns, Luo Tian simply smiled calmly and asked in return, with a meaningful tone:
"Does He dare?"
Luo Tian didn't say this to show off in front of Yin Changsheng.
In fact, Luo Tian was somewhat wary of Zhen Yuanzi when he first entered the Xuanhuang Great World.
After all, in Luo Tian's view at the time, he was entering someone else's dojo to look for clues, so he had to be careful about the impact.
If Zhen Yuanzi discovers this, he might secretly sabotage Luo Tian's chances of finding clues about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
However, after gaining a deeper understanding of the Xuanhuang Great World, Luo Tian discovered that Zhen Yuanzi's control over the Xuanhuang Great World was not as strong as Luo Tian had imagined, and his actual strength did not exceed the limit that Luo Tian could contend with.
It is at least far inferior to the Will of the Abyss, which wields the endless abyss.
The White Bone Bodhisattva, a powerful deity associated with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, recklessly altered the death order of the Xuanhuang Great World, turning the originally existing underworld into a minor underworld that could only govern mortals, and reaping the lives of countless immortals through calamities.
The lineage of these immortals all originated from the teachings of Wuzhuang Temple.
In Luo Tian's eyes, the White Bone Bodhisattva's behavior was nothing short of defecating on Zhen Yuanzi's head.
However, Zhen Yuanzi ignored everything except protecting the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple from the disaster.
There are only two possible outcomes for this situation.
One is that Zhen Yuanzi and the White Bone Bodhisattva reached a consensus that the calamities that have spread throughout the Xuanhuang Great World were caused by the joint efforts of these two great beings.
Another reason is that Zhen Yuanzi was wary of the White Bone Bodhisattva, so he did not take action against him.
The first thought flashed through Luo Tian's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
The Xuanhuang Great World is Zhen Yuanzi's Daoist temple. If Zhen Yuanzi really wanted to achieve some goal with the White Bone Bodhisattva, it would only take a year. There was no need for him to make a mess of his own home.
