When Li Ping'an arrived at Yuxu Palace, thousands of immortals had gathered here.
Kunlun Mountain is originally a blessed place for cultivation. There is Yuxu Palace in East Kunlun and the secret realm of Yaochi in West Kunlun. Now that Yaochi has been moved to Tianting, more land is vacated in Kunlun Mountain, attracting many casual cultivators to move here to practice.
.
Most of these thousands of immortals are Kunlun monks.
Most of their cultivation levels are above those of true immortals and heavenly immortals. Most of them are humans and some are elves. When they see Li Ping'an and King Dong, they bow to each other from a distance.
The voices of "Meet Your Majesty", "Meet Dongwang" and "Meet Feng Xiang" are heard endlessly.
Li Ping'an put his hands behind his hands and nodded with a smile, while King Dong bowed slightly and bowed in return.
Arriving in front of the formation of De Yuxu Palace, the formation closed on its own, revealing the blessed land of the immortal family inside, which attracted the admiration of countless casual cultivators.
Guangchengzi brought the twelve golden immortals of Chanjiao forward to pay homage.
Li Ping'an first received the Twelve Golden Immortal's bows, and then returned half the courtesy as a disciple.
Guangchengzi put on a brand new Taoist robe today, his long hair was combed meticulously, and with a slight smile on his middle-aged face, he asked with a smile:
"Now that the war drums are beating in Xizhou, Your Majesty has come to the place where Yuxu Palace is to be repaired. I wonder what important matters you have?"
Li Ping'an said sternly: "Now the two leaders of the Western Sect are doing evil, disrupting the way of heaven, interfering with the operation of the heaven, and assassinating the princess of the heaven. I want to raise an army to attack them, but this involves the saint's affairs, so I came to visit and beg the master to uphold justice and protect the heaven.
"
What I said is enough to teach you about face and dignity.
The Sixth Saint committed a crime, and the Heavenly Court wanted to mobilize troops to attack him and come to Yuanshi Tianzun to seek justice. This naturally means that Yuanshi Tianzun's status among saints is much higher than that of the Sixth Saint.
The phrase "protect heaven" is equivalent to asking Yuanshi Tianzun to monitor heaven.
Although the expressions of the immortals who explained the teaching were restrained, it could be seen that they were all quite happy.
Guangchengzi said: "Teacher has understood everything here. Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, fellow Daoist Duke Dongwang, please come in with me. Teacher has been waiting for a long time, please."
"Thank you, uncle."
Li Ping'an cupped his hands, followed Guang Chengzi on a cloud, and headed towards the main hall of Yuxu Palace.
The formation here is not activated, but is allowed to be observed by the immortals.
But the strength is lower than that of the Golden Immortal, and the immortal consciousness cannot detect the saint's figure at all, and can only hear Yuanshi Tianzun's voice from a distance.
Sage Yuqing said:
"I am fully aware of what your Majesty did today. The two leaders of the Western Sect should not have plotted against the Heavenly Court. They have also committed a crime by interfering with the operation of Heavenly Dao. They should be punished as a matter of course so that they can cultivate their morality and correct their minds.
"However, saints are the cornerstone of the way of heaven, and the order of heaven comes before them. There is no precedent for punishing saints, so this matter should not be acted rashly or hastily concluded."
In the middle of the hall, Li Ping'an held his breath and concentrated, thoughts racing in his heart.
Whether today's matter can be accomplished depends entirely on whether he can convince Yuanshi Tianzun at this moment.
He turned his head slightly to look at Dong Wang.
King Dong raised his hands high, drew a big circle, and made the most respectful salute. Then he bent down and lowered his head and said loudly:
"Sage Jade Purity!
"The actions of the two Western leaders violated the rules of heaven and offended the heaven. If they are not severely punished, the rules of heaven will no longer have any majesty. How can the justice and equity that heaven has striven to establish for all living beings continue to exist?
"This matter has caused dissatisfaction among all sentient beings. The human race is the foundation of the way of heaven, and the spiritual cultivation spirits of the human race are all angry and depressed. At this time, it has affected the whole body!
"Your Majesty has been hesitating for dozens of days because he cares about the majesty of the saints, and is unwilling to punish the two Western leaders, so as not to involve the other five saints with high morals. However, the anger of all living beings can no longer be quelled, and your Majesty has no choice but to come here.
Please uphold justice!
"The little god is the chief executive of the heaven. If there is anything that offends the majesty of the saint, the little god is willing to be punished!
"Master Yuqing, please give me some advice!"
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and said slowly: "Don't be too polite, King Dong."
Dong Wang stood up straight, took two steps back, lowered his head and said nothing.
It became quiet in Yuxu Palace.
The immortals inside and outside Yuxu Palace were listening attentively, even if they were using their immortal consciousness to probe, they couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate at this moment, for fear of missing some key words.
Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "Then according to Your Majesty's opinion, how severe should the punishment be?"
Li Ping'an said loudly: "The punishment here should be decided by the master! Although I am the emperor of heaven, I dare not convict the saint, so please give me an instruction from the master!"
"good."
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly:
"This matter should take into account the dignity of the saint, it is indeed not easy to deal with.
"What your Majesty saw that day was really Taoist Master Zhunti?"
"It's absolutely true," Li Ping'an said slowly, "that Zhunti showed up twice. The first time he showed up, I scared him away. Unexpectedly, he never died and returned to the Yang family!"
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "If this is the case, Zhunti was immoral in the first place and caused such a turmoil. He should be taught a lesson."
Li Ping'an felt really relieved in his heart.
He raised his hands and asked for orders: "Master, please issue a decree!"
"There is no distinction between saints who are high or low. They call each other Taoist friends and support each other."
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly:
"It is against the law of heaven to punish a saint with just a decree. Today I will go to Lingshan with Your Majesty to question fellow Taoist Zhunti face to face.
"The twists and turns here will be revealed once you ask."
Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel helpless.
Yes, when Yuanshi Tianzun went there in person, he really wanted to put an end to the matter.
Neither Taiqing nor Yuqing wanted to make things worse. Today's situation is really hard to push.
"Disciple, I obey," Li Ping'an accepted the order with his hands in hand.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, go ahead. I will show up when your Majesty arrives at Lingshan."
Guangchengzi raised his hand and asked: "Teacher, do you need a disciple to escort His Majesty to Lingshan?"
"No need," Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly, "This matter is already wrong for the West, so how can they dare to go against His Majesty?"
"Thank you, Master, for taking care of me."
Li Ping'an and Dong Wang bowed together, turned around and left the main hall of Yuxu Palace in the clouds, heading straight towards Lingshan Mountain.
As soon as he left Yuxu Palace, King Dong frowned, approached Li Ping'an, folded his clothes, and muttered:
"Your Majesty, something is not right."
"Well, Master really wanted to turn a big thing into a trivial matter. He used to reprimand him with just a few words, which not only enhanced his own dignity, but also allowed Western teachers to suffer no real losses."
Li Ping'an expressed his emotion:
"We have made such a big noise and used so much manpower, but Master actually doesn't care.
"This is the really difficult problem.
"saint……"
King Dong said slowly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. If Na Zhunti loses face in public, today is considered a victory for us."
"What I want is not to gain face, what I want is to be able to restrict Zhunti's future behavior, and what I want is for all living beings to respect the saint instead of fearing him."
Li Pingan sighed:
"If we fail to achieve our goal this time, it will have the opposite effect.
"Otherwise, if we want to do something next, Zhunti will be shameless and come to embarrass us.
"The Taoist Immortal Tribulation is ahead, and the position of Chanjiao is really helpless."
King Dong thought carefully, said nothing for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is better to change our approach to today's matter."
"Oh? How to fight?"
"We have been making noises for so long, no matter who we are, they will think that we are going to cause trouble for the Western Church, and this includes the Western Church."
Dong Wang pondered slightly:
"Since Sage Yuqing wants to reduce the big matter to a small matter, then I will reduce this matter to a small matter.
"In this way, I won't hate the two strongest saints."
Li Ping'an glared at the old man with a dark face. He had spent so much effort to set up a trap and risked the reputation of the Emperor of Heaven. It would be a huge loss to just let that Zhunti go.
However, considering that the guy in front of me is the number one strategist of the human race, and he has gradually planned hundreds of tribes into the current miserable situation...
"Then what?" Li Ping'an asked.
King Dong smiled cryptically: "I may have to aggrieve Your Highness the Princess, but I can't say I am aggrieved. I can only say that... I have changed my strategy."
The powerful minister in heaven continued to whisper.
Li Ping'an's expression gradually relaxed, and then he frowned slightly, with a bit more hesitation in his eyes.
Everything has pros and cons.
But doing this is indeed much better than letting the current situation develop as it is.
"Hurry to Nuwa Palace, I will drive slowly on the road."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
King Dong bowed his hands to accept the order, turned around and disappeared into a rainbow light.
Li Ping'an rode on the clouds and slowly descended towards Lingshan Mountain with his eyes all over the sky.
Many Lezixians couldn't help but complain when they saw it.
Your Majesty, the speed of driving the clouds is really too slow.
…
"Dongwang went to Nuwa Palace?"
In Biyou Palace, Master Tongtian murmured, and the cloud mirror image in front of him circulated and locked on Dong Wang.
He was lying on the steps under the throne, holding in his hand the fruits brought by his disciples.
The three inner disciples of Jiejiao, together with the two outer disciples Zhao Gongming and Fairy Qiongxiao, sat around the leader of Tongtian Cult, looking at Yunjing together, eating fruits and vegetables, with relaxed expressions.
Zhao Gongming asked in a deep voice: "Master, are we really not going to take action?"
"Don't worry, if Ping An is beaten, then we will definitely take action. How much merit has Ping An given us? Two red lotuses have been given to us."
Leader Tongtian said indifferently:
"As long as I use the Immortal Killing Sword Formation as a master, it cannot be broken except by the Four Saints...I mean, this does not include your uncle.
"He has great magical powers that can transform the three pure beings with one breath, and he can kill all the Four Swords of Zhu Xian directly.
"You will still be more respectful to your uncle from now on, do you understand?"
Several disciples agreed individually.
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said: "This Zhunti is really shameless. He actually did such a thing, actually wanted to betroth the princess of heaven to a mortal, and still used such means as fiddling with the red string."
The leader of Tongtian Cult said softly:
"This matter, if calculated further, seems to be beneficial to Heaven.
"But Ping An stood up and stopped Zhunti. Do you know why?
"Ping'an doesn't want to let any living being be used as a bargaining chip. This is called character. This is the character that Dijun does not have. It is my blessing that Ping'an can have a good relationship with Ping'an. There is no need to worry that Ping'an will harm us.
.”
The Wudang Virgin said: "Master, maybe it's just that the Emperor of Heaven values this princess?"
"They didn't have much interaction with each other. You didn't see the situation at that time, and Ping An was very hesitant."
Leader Tongtian smiled and said:
“If he doesn’t stop it, heaven will gain great benefits;
"He tried to stop it, which was worthy of his conscience, but the benefit was gone.
"In the end, he chose his conscience and quit Zhunti... It's a pity that the second senior brother stood up and blinded Ping An's layout for more than a month.
"But it's good. Not to mention the Taoist's famous name, all living beings know that the Sixth Sage is unsightly.
"As for what happened today, it's hard to have any twists and turns."
Duobao said with a smile: "How about we say that a disciple was lost in Lingshan and go in and mess with them?"
"When saints fight against each other, everything will be shattered and cannot be opened easily."
Leader Tongtian glared at Taoist Duobao:
"The saints of Heaven have embedded themselves in the Heaven. As long as we have a conflict, the sea of Dao will shake, and there will be endless disasters in heaven and earth.
"If the heaven and earth are out of balance or the earth collapses, that's all good.
"Therefore, if saints want to fight, they can only go to the Sea of Chaos. The farther away from the primitive world, the better. But if they go to fight in the Sea of Chaos, Zhunti will be the weakest among the six saints.
"He will definitely not dare to go.
"Even if I show up today, Zhunti will only say that I rely on the strong to bully the weak and bite back. There will be no good way to deal with him."
Our Lady of Jinling sighed: "No wonder Lingshan is peaceful."
"After all, strength has the final say," Leader Tongtian watched as Dong Wang entered Nuwa Palace, and the cloud mirror disappeared.
He would not rashly explore the Nuwa Palace, so he looked at Li Ping'an again.
As if receiving the signal that King Dong had arrived at his destination, the white clouds under Li Ping'an's feet began to speed towards Lingshan, but within a moment they had already flown directly above Xizhou.
Li Pingan waved his sleeves.
The billowing dark clouds suddenly bloomed with golden light!
Rumble, rumble——
The sound of drums was loud in the clouds, three hundred strong men waved their clubs, and the big drums roared continuously.
The protective formation of Lingshan Mountain under the clouds was trembling slightly.
Li Ping'an stood with his hands behind his back. A big hole opened in the middle of the clouds behind him, revealing thirty-six floors. Each floor was filled with heavenly soldiers and generals!
Generals in golden armor lined up on both sides, and guards of the Wrath of Heaven stood on the left and right!
The millions of creatures who had been watching from the outside turned into a stream of light all over the sky. The scene was extremely spectacular and the momentum was unparalleled.
Millions of immortals surrounded this place from all directions, only a hundred miles away from the edge of Lingshan Mountain!
Li Pingan raised his head slightly, looked down and said loudly:
"Where is Zhunti, the second leader of the Western Sect!"
Lingshan is peaceful and quiet.
Li Ping'an's eyes were full of coldness, and he continued: "Don't you dare to show up without mentioning the Great Immortal?"
A cold snort immediately came from below.
Obviously, this great immortal was poked in a sore spot.
The Lingshan Mountain Protector Formation slowly opened, revealing boundless golden light, and the entire world was filled with a peaceful aura.
In the golden light, Taoist Zhunti was sitting on the lotus platform, with dozens of treasure wheels behind him, and clouds under him. His figure was slowly flying up, with a look of indifference in his eyes.
After Zhunti flew out, the Lingshan formation closed again, and the Lingshan disciples did not show up.
Taoist Zhunti and Li Ping'an looked at each other in the air.
He spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, Emperor of Heaven, you led your army to come to my place of Qingxiu. What do you mean?"
"What's the matter?" Li Ping'an said coldly, "Fellow Taoist, you still want to pretend to be ignorant? You are plotting against me, the princess of heaven, to disturb the order of heaven and earth, and what's the matter with me?"
"Why don't I know what your Majesty said?"
Taoist Zhunti looked grim:
"On the contrary, His Majesty has been spreading rumors in the world recently, slandering a quiet and ascetic cultivator like me, and even putting pressure on Yuxu Palace in an attempt to destroy the friendship between the Six Saints!
"Your Majesty, do you really have no ulterior motives?
"Still, you feel that the Six Saints have stolen the limelight from His Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor? Your Majesty wants to divide the Six Saints and instigate a war between the Saints."
Li Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly.
This old man is really difficult to deal with.
at the same time;
Inside the Palace of Our Lady.
With a smile on his face, King Dong looked at Yao Ji who was kneeling deeply towards the Mother Nuwa, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is really not a harmful move on his part.
In fact, Taoist Zhunti has been shameless since ancient times. He already learned this lesson when he was the "wind prime minister".
