Chapter 269 It’s Impossible to Forcefully insult

Li Changshou initially thought that it was a big shot who had recited the poem that he had written.. In the end, the boy pointed out the Essence Perception Cave of the Spirit Vulture Mountain and Li Changshou realized that it would be the famous

“Buddha Randeng” in the future. That made Li Changshou feel less burdened when he chased them away. It was not that Li Changshou was arrogant and dared to not take Randeng seriously. In fact, Li Changshou had strong respect for the seniors of the Dao Sect. He would definitely not use 99% of his effort to plot against them if he could use 100%. At that moment, the boy was too arrogant. Due to his ident.i.ty as the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, he directly pointed out that he wanted him to go over in his real body… Forcing me to appear in my real body? That’s a little vicious. If the Great Daoist Master was not there, Li Changshou might have to spend more effort to use the Shadow-Retaining Ball that had been used to record the words of the boy just now to prove himself later. It was impossible for them to be friendly with each other.

At that moment, the Great Daoist Master was watching from above. Not only could Li Changshou not be soft-hearted, but he could not retreat either.

Not to mention the boy, even if Randeng came personally, Li Changshou could only maintain his distance and be neither servile nor overbearing if the former was arrogant and looked down on others. Calling him “Senior” was considered respect. If he served him a cup of tea, it would be considered etiquette. His thoughts had to be clear. He could not give up on his principles.

The core principle of dealing with this matter is to not embarra.s.s Ren School.

Especially since the other party had already sent a boy to attack me… It would be the safest choice for him to show his dissatisfaction appropriately! Li Changshou would definitely not believe that a mighty figure like Daoist Randeng, who had lived since the ancient times, did not know the temperament of the child. On the other hand, it just so happened that he was such a reckless child. He could put pressure on him and see if he could trick his main body. If he discovered that he could not do it, Daoist Randeng could reprimand the child and push the blame to the “temporary worker”. He would not lose face…

The thoughts of these mighty figures are very detailed. Tsk Those thoughts flashed through his mind, but they only lasted for an instant.

After a.n.a.lyzing the subsequent possibilities, Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk and said, “Please go ahead and leave. I won’t send you off.”

The boy widened his eyes and thought that he had heard wrongly. The boy shouted in his childly voice, “Sea G.o.d, do you know who my master is!?!” “Hmph!”

Li Changshou snorted coldly and said calmly, “I can’t treat you well, solely based on your arrogant personality. Go back. I’m traveling the world with my true body. It’s not convenient for us to meet.” Then, he turned around and left. The little child Daoist was stunned as he looked at the back of the white crane.

“Are, are you serious!?!”

The boy immediately jumped down and shouted with a flushed face, “Do you know that my master is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School!?! Even if the twelve Golden Immortals saw him, they would have to address him as ‘Teacher’! How dare you!?!”

Li Changshou ignored him. A faint cloud floated around him and disappeared. Did he leave?

The child Daoist was instantly stunned. Most of the Divine Envoys and mortal devotees laughed out loud. The few Divine Envoys teased him.

“You want to see our Sea G.o.d and yet you’re so hot-tempered. You’ve been spoiled.” “My Sea G.o.d is very busy. Not everyone can see him!”

“You!”

The boy had never suffered such grievances. He immediately jumped up and wanted to rush into the Sea G.o.d Temple’s main hall! Three to five burly men suddenly appeared from the side. One of them stood in front of the boy and used his st.u.r.dy chest muscles to send the boy flying. The other burly men immediately walked forward. All of them were dressed in black leather armor, and their muscles emitted a piercing glow. They shouted at the boy in unison…

“Hehe!”

The boy quivered a few times.

Although he was at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm, he was just a living being that had been enlightened. Under such circ.u.mstances, his face turned pale and he fell into a state of panic. “What are you doing!?! I’m just a child! My master is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School!”

Hence, the laughter of the Divine Envoys became louder… A moment later… the boy wailed and flew up on the white crane. He flew towards the northwest at an extremely fast speed. Li Changshou secretly raised his eyebrows. If the white crane was not a spiritual bird of the Jade Void Palace, he would have secretly detained it…

He thought that it should be a good spiritual seed. It would be best if he could get a pair of male and female ones.

He heard a chuckle outside the rear hall. The Great Daoist Master flew over on a cloud…

Li Changshou bowed forward. The Great Daoist Master naturally sat on the master’s seat of the rear hall and smiled.

“I don’t know what this Daoist Randeng is trying to do. He actually asked the boy to test you. Changshou, did you have a conflict with someone from Chan School previously?”

“I only know two experts from Chan School. One of them is Perfected Huang Long, and the other is Senior Yun Zhongzi. I treat them politely and do not dare to disrespect them.”

“In that case, let me deduce it.”

The Great Daoist Master pinched his fingers and deduced with a serious expression. A moment later, the Great Daoist Master exclaimed softly. He slowly drew a circle in front of him with his left hand, revealing the Yin-Yang Twin Fishes that were chasing each other. He borrowed the power of the Taiji Painting The Great Daoist Master seemed to have discovered something interesting. His lips gradually curled up… Li Changshou waited quietly at the side.

If he did not have enough mystical abilities, he could use his mental energy to deduce all kinds of possibilities. He reckoned that there should be a follow-up to what happened today… “Ha… there’s actually such a ridiculous thing.”

The Great Daoist Master suddenly laughed. Li Changshou was puzzled. The Great Daoist Master said, “This time, Daoist Randeng is actually going to be invited by a disciple of the Western Sect to be a guarantor. He will bring you to the Western Sect to discuss matters regarding the dragon race. It is really ridiculous. Daoist Randeng is of high seniority and has many friends. It is not surprising that he knows some people from the Western Sect. However, now that the Ren School is standing behind the Heavenly Courts, we have to help the Heavenly Courts prosper. It’s fine that Daoist Randeng did not consider the fact that the Heavenly Courts were established by the Dao Sect. Yet, he actually wants your true body to appear. You can’t even go using your incarnation… Aren’t you putting on airs? You’re looking down on Ren School.”

Li Changshou asked, “Great Daoist Master, how should we deal with this matter?”

“Don’t bother about it. Just do what you have to do.”

The Great Daoist Master chuckled. He stood up and took a few steps into the rear hall of the Sea G.o.d Temple. With a gentle wave of his left hand, the image of the Taiji Painting slowly flew up and floated under the lintel in the middle of the rear hall. It rotated twice and disappeared on its own. An indescribable Dao rune spread out in the rear hall and gradually disappeared with the wind.

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “That’s good.” “Thank you for your love and protection, Great Daoist Master!” Li Changshou first bowed to the Great Daoist Master and then performed a Dao salute outside the rear hall. He said loudly, “I sincerely thank the Saint for his protection!”

The Great Daoist Master could not help but smile. He encouraged Li Changshou warmly before disappearing. He did not continue watching the show. “Do your best.” Before the Great Daoist Master left, he raised his hand and punched Li Changshou’s shoulder. “Some people are not loyal to the Dao Sect. You don’t have to show them any mercy.” Li Changshou immediately understood his boss’s att.i.tude and nodded solemnly. After sending the Great Daoist Master off, Li Changshou looked up at the lintel and felt emotional. He finally had a wisp of the power of the Taiji Painting Should I hide my main body here? Uh, forget it. There’s no need for that. The value of this protection lay in its symbolic meaning, not its power. Li Changshou felt some warmth in his heart.

What is wrong with working hard for Ren School since they treat me so well?

“What should I do next?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and slowly paced around in the back hall.

The boy rode the crane to the north. Even with the white crane’s speed, it would still take him two hours to reach the Jade Void Palace. There was a high chance that Randeng would take the opportunity to come over in a while, and use his ident.i.ty as a senior of the Dao Sect to blame him for hitting his boy and embarra.s.sing him.

That was a serious matter. On the surface, Randeng had already gained control over the situation.

According to the Great Daoist Master’s arrangements, he only needed to reveal the Taiji Painting and make Randeng retreat.

However, that was not the safest strategy.

Li Changshou quickly sorted out his thoughts… Daoist Randeng was standing up for the Western Sect. He had used his ident.i.ty as a member of Chan School to suppress him, a junior of the Dao Sect. If he were to forcefully go against him, he would not be giving the Chan School any face and would most likely become enemies with them. He could have used other schemes to avoid becoming enemies with Chan School and used the protection of the Taiji Painting as his trump card against Daoist Randeng.

This matter…

“Got it.”

Li Changshou stopped in his tracks. The paper effigy immediately used the Earth Escape technique and returned to the paper effigy’s underground vault. As he thought about it, Li Changshou had already activated the paper effigy that was hiding in a rift of a rock near the East Ocean Dragon Palace… The paper effigy transformed into the image of an old immortal that the Sea G.o.d often used. He used the Water Escape technique to rush to the East Ocean Dragon Palace without any obstructions. An hour later, Li Changshou appeared at the Dragon Palace’s banquet again.

This time, Li Changshou did not delay and went straight to Perfected Huang Long. Li Changshou walked forward and bowed to the Dao Sect seniors at his table. He smiled and said, “Senior Huang Long, I have something to ask of you.” “Oh?”

Perfected Huang Long immediately perked up when he heard that. He hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d, please speak your mind.” Li Changshou immediately used the voice transmission technique in front of him and told Perfected Huang Long about the rude child that Daoist Randeng had sent. The more Perfected Huang Long listened, the deeper his frown became. After Li Changshou finished speaking, Perfected Huang Long stood up and bowed to the fellow Daoists of Jie School who were seated at the same table. He smiled and said, “Fellow Daoists, please allow me to leave first.” Following that, he left the main hall with Li Changshou and the doubts he had about there being plenty of guests… The most convenient method that Li Changshou could think of was to ask Perfected Huang Long to appear. In that case, he could attribute today’s matter to the conflict between him and Daoist Randeng. It was not that he did not give face to Chan School.

“Brother Sect Master!” Ao Yi ran over from the side and hurriedly asked, “Is there any trouble?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just a small matter.”

Ao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said firmly, “If you need any help from Ao Yi or need the help of the dragon race’s manpower, you must inform me in time.”

“Okay.”

Li Changshou smiled and nodded. Under Ao Yi’s escort, he and Perfected Huang Long left the Dragon Palace and flew towards the sea.

When they arrived on the surface of the sea, Perfected Huang Long asked, “Was that boy really unreasonable and wanted you to reveal your true ident.i.ty and go to the Jade Void Palace?”

“When you reach the Sea G.o.d Temple later, you only need to take a look at the Shadow-Retaining Pearl to know the reason.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “I’ve never used my true body to travel outside because I’m helping the Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Courts to fight against the Western Sect. If an expert were to ambush me, the consequences would be unimaginable. I did not dare to agree to this matter. ” Perfected Huang Long sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve suffered. This Deputy Sect Master… Ah, he’s always been a little puzzling. I wonder what he’s up to this time.” “From Senior’s words, it seems that this Deputy Sect Master of the Burning Lamp Sect… does not have much prestige in Chan School?” “He has a high seniority. I and the other senior brothers and junior brothers respect him. We address him as Teacher or Uncle-Master.”

Perfected Huang Long explained honestly, “It’s just that Teacher gave him the position of Deputy Sect Master because of their friends.h.i.+p from ancient times. He usually gives us orders. Moreover, there are some things that I can’t say…” Li Changshou immediately understood something As they spoke, the old man and young dragon had already arrived at the edge of the South Continent. In order to rush over before Randeng reprimanded him, traveling across the South Continent was naturally the fastest way.

Just as they flew out of the East Ocean’s border, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them. A familiar Dao rune floated over. “Eh? What a coincidence. Why did we meet here?”

Perfected Huang Long hurriedly stopped the white cloud. Li Changshou turned his head and saw a middle-aged Daoist who was dressed in a golden chainmail and had a heroic face. He was riding a cloud. It was Master Zhao and Zhao Gongming, who had been watching the show together with the Great Daoist Master! If not for the Dao runes of the Cosmic Escape technique lingering around Master Zhao, Li Changshou would have believed that he and Master Zhao had “coincidentally met” and not that Zhao Gongming had rushed over. “Greetings, Senior Gongming!” “Hahaha, Brother, have you forgotten again?” “Uh, greetings, Brother Gongming!” “Alright! You guys seem to be in a hurry. Is there any fun? Why don’t you bring me along!?!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Indeed, righteousness and justice were all born out of boredom! Zhao Gongming used the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl’s escape technique and brought Perfected Huang Long and Li Changshou to the backyard of the Sea G.o.d Temple.

Li Changshou went to the front hall to retrieve a few Shadow-Retaining Pearls and displayed the boy’s actions.

Zhao Gongming immediately cursed.

“What does this Deputy Sect Master Randeng mean? He actually asked your main body to appear? Could it be that he wants to find a good target for those who want to kill you!?! Let’s go to the Jade Void Palace to reason with him!”

“Brother, don’t be anxious. Brother, don’t be anxious.”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I’m sure the Deputy Sect Master of the Burning Lamp Sect will definitely come to question me. Later, I only need you and Senior Huang Long to hide in the dark. Each of you will take out a Shadow-Retaining Ball and record my conversation with him. In that case, if the matter gets blown up, I will have a reason to speak up. I don’t want this Deputy Sect Master to label me as a disrespectful master. If nothing happens later, just pretend that nothing happened. I don’t want to become enemies with such a senior.” Perfected Huang Long smiled and nodded when he heard that. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. “Fellow Daoist, you are very broad-minded.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s just that it’s better to kill enemies than to make them.”

At that moment, Zhao Gongming activated the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and hid in the corner of the rear hall with Perfected Huang Long. The two big shots each held the Shadow-Retaining Pearl that Li Changshou had given them and began to memorize the scenery.

At the same time, under the huge tree in Tus.h.i.+ta Palace, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du leaned against the tree trunk.

There was a cloud floating in front of him, and the image of the Sea G.o.d Sect’s rear hall was clearly displayed on it.

From the angle of the “camera “, they should be using the image of the Taiji Painting to secretly observe… When the Great Daoist Master saw Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long arrive and heard Li Changshou’s method, he clapped and laughed. He remained calm and composed, waiting for the following matters. Li Changshou sat in the rear hall for about an hour. A white cloud floated over from the north-west direction. Sitting on it was an old man shrouded in golden light. Beside the old man was the young boy who had come to call for help. From afar, the old man looked thin, but from a closer look, he had a square face. It was quite strange.

He was dressed in a brown Daoist robe and was sitting on the white cloud. His hands were in his wide sleeves, and a bronze lamp was floating on his shoulders. His eyelids were half open, and his eyebrows were long. He also had his hands on his temples and ears. There was a sense of dignity in the commotion. The Dao runes circulated and formed the demeanor of an expert.

Li Changshou did not know much about Daoist Randeng

He only knew that Daoist Randeng was an expert at adding fuel to the fire in the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. He and Daolord Lu Ya, who came from unknown origins, echoed each other and made the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation blow out of proportion. After that, the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation did not come to an end. Randeng removed the word ‘Daoist’ and added the term ‘Ancient Buddha’ to his name. He led a few of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School and betrayed the Dao Sect. However, Li Changshou had never heard of the specific background of Randeng, his cultivation level, and his mystical abilities…

Li Changshou stood up. This time, he had taken the initiative to fly to the top of the courtyard in the back hall. He had hidden those details.
