My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 368 - Small Scheme, Great Revenge

Chapter 368 Small Scheme, Great Revenge

Why? The Primordial World would become something that he did not know at all... Ksitigarbha curled up on the back of the Truth Listener divine beast and pressed his collar. His handsome face was pale.

“Did... did he leave?”

Ksitigarbha asked softly, his body trembling. It was not fear, but anger! What’s wrong with the Primordial World? How could the Primordial World be good? He had been studying the technique of devising schemes, plots, and plans for so many years. However, in the end, he was helpless against an expert who vomited blood, descended from the sky, fell in front of them, jumped up, and used a Connate numinous treasure to restrain them. That expert then began to extort people!

What is this?!

He is using his power to bully others! If I had not reacted fast enough just now and fought with my life on the line, now, perhaps... Ksitigarbha tightened his collar and looked at his two fellow disciples who were slumped on the ground. His eyes flickered. What’s wrong with the experts of the Dao Sect? The righteous Zhao Gongming, the decisive Fairy Qiong Xiao... He is an expert from the Dao Sect who had been famous since ancient times!

Why did one of them lie down and not get up, while the other shouted, “Aiyaya!” and directly asked if they wanted to settle the matter or let it blow up!?!

Truth Listener sighed softly and sent a voice transmission in Ksitigarbha’s heart.

“Master... Stop pretending. They’re already far away.”

“Let’s leave this place first and talk about how we should proceed in the future.” Ksitigarbha said softly. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. The corners of his mouth were still trembling

The two old Daoists on the ground were wrapped in his immortal power and thrown onto Truth Listener’s back. A green smoke screen appeared around Truth Listener. It carried the three of them and slowly disappeared from the island. It transformed into a wisp of green light in the sky and shot deep into the South Ocean...

Not long after, Ksitigarbha returned to his usual calmness and no longer looked as worried.

When he looked at the two old Daoists, his gaze was filled with contempt...

“Master, will this scheme succeed?” Truth Listener asked.

“Zhao Gongming suddenly messed things up for a while. I didn’t expect that. It’s hard to predict. Let’s wait and see. What we want to see now is the other party making a move and grabbing the flaws. This time, it’s just a small scheme. Let’s test the other party’s abilities.”

Truth Listener stayed silent for a while before saying, “Master, why don’t you return to the Three Thousand Worlds to train? The hearts of these Dao Sect experts have become Nine Pollution Springs. From the looks of it, you are not their match.”

Ksitigarbha lowered his head and looked at the palm lines on his palm. He thought to himself, If I want to achieve something big, I shouldn’t be discouraged by setbacks. Instead, I should be ashamed of retreating.

According to the information given by the sect, Zhao Gongming’s changes have been uncontrollable after he came into contact with the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. During the rise of the Water God, Zhao Gongming had also given him a lot of help. Moreover, there is concrete news from Jie School that Fairy Yun Xiao and the Water God are about to become Dao companions. The Saint has already agreed to the marriage... The two factions of Jie School and the Heavenly Courts will probably be slowly tied together. Truth Listener advised, “Master, just Jie School alone can wipe out your spiritual mountain. Moreover, those immortals from Jie School do things in a hurry and don’t consider the consequences.”

“Previously, when the immortals of the three sects went to the spiritual mountain to show off, the hearts of the immortals of Chan School were filled with thoughts. They were thinking about how to deal with the situation so that Chan School and they could gain both fame and fortune.”

“The immortals of Jie School did not think too much about it. They just wanted to fight on the spiritual mountain and love everyone... It’s best if we don’t provoke such a huge sect.”

Ksitigarbha squinted slightly and said, “Don’t worry. I have deduced for thousands of years. I’m sure that there will be a fight between the Chan School and Jie School. The Western Sect will be the final winner!”

“Psht, Master, you’re making it sound as if everyone in the Dao Sect is a fool...”

Ksitigarbha shouted in his heart, “This is the general trend! Do you understand the general trend!?!”

“Yes, yes, yes. Master is awesome. Let’s find the traitor on the spiritual mountain first. This is the mission that your teacher gave you to make up for your mistakes...”

“Hmph.” Ksitigarbha folded his arms and sat cross-legged on Truth Listener’s back to sulk. Soon, he began to think.

At the same time, on the Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou and Jiu Wu flew to a small forest at the back of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

There were the most Qi Refinement cultivators on the Heaven-Breaking Peak in the sect. It seemed a little crowded there, as if every inch of land was precious.

After Li Jing entered the Immortal Du Sect and was accepted as an in-name disciple by Perfected Du’e, he was placed there to cultivate. A couple in the Perfected Immortal realm who did not have much time left were in charge of guiding Li Jing into the sect and taking care of his daily needs.

After all, he was the Junior Brother of the Sect Leader. The offerings given to Li Jing by the sect were several times that of ordinary immortal seedlings. The treatment he received in all aspects was impeccable. Of course, Li Changshou had pulled off a small scheme through the Sect Leader... He wanted to let Li Jing feel the warmth of having a family. Li Changshou and Jiu Wu did not go to visit them directly. Instead, they passed a talisman that could conceal their tracks. After secretly greeting the old Perfected Immortals, they landed behind the pavilion and observed secretly... It happened to be lunch time. Li Jing, who was dressed in a clean, short-sleeved shirt, was eating with a bowl and chopsticks. The two old ladies and old men sitting at the same table also held their bowls and chopsticks and looked kindly at the young man who had already grown a lot...

Overall, the atmosphere was quite heartwarming.

The old woman instructed, “Little Aunt-Master, eat more. These are all spiritual fish and spiritual herbs. They can improve your constitution.” The old man asked, “How’s your swordplay today?” “I’ve almost mastered it!”

Li Jing answered seriously.

“This sword technique is only to help you adjust your aura. It’s not to be used for killing enemies and fighting. When you practice it, pay more attention to the circulation of your aura in your body. You have to make killing more powerful...”

“Yes! Hehe!”

Behind the pavilion, Li Changshou lowered his head and looked at Jiu Wu. Both of them smiled and retreated quietly.

Li Changshou fell into deep thought. It was not difficult to plot against someone as long as one was strong enough.

However, it was not easy to change a person’s personality...

“What are you thinking about?” Jiu Wu laughed at the side. “You had to come over to take a look before you could be at ease. Aren’t you here to take a look? Are you at ease now? These two senior brothers and sisters have the best tempers in the sect. Previously, they wanted to have a son but could not. If Li Jing was not the Junior Brother of our Sect Leader, they would have already adopted him!” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He took a stroll with Jiu Wu in the rare quiet place of the Heaven-Breaking Peak and continued to think. It seemed that he could only nurture Li Jing in all aspects. He could not only think about his personality. “Uncle-Master,” Li Changshou asked casually, “Did you and Aunt-Master Jiu Shi... have any thoughts of having children?” When Jiu Wu heard that, he could not help but tremble. He shuddered and turned to give Li Changshou an ugly smile. Li Changshou quietly took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and said in a low voice, “A Grade Three Spirit Pill, Constitution Nurturing Pill.”

“Thank... Thank you...”

Jiu Wu seemed to have obtained a treasure. He immediately took out a pill and swallowed it. Then, the short Daoist raised his head and sighed.

“Uncle-Master, what’s wrong?” Jiu Wu sighed and said, “Recently, I don’t know where Shi Shi heard it from but she said that she is going to worship the statue of Goddess Nuwa. After accumulating for a long time and having a sincere heart, she will be able to obtain the Goddess’s blessing. She will be able to get clay figurines in her dream. Then, she will be able to get pregnant...” “Ahem!”

Li Changshou almost laughed out loud. He hurriedly asked, “But this has nothing to do with...”

“Your Aunt-Master Jiu Shi is afraid that she will miss her dream. She deliberately sleeps every day and before she sleeps... Ah!” Jiu Wu sighed and looked at Li Changshou with a complicated expression. “Changshou, can you think of a solution to the matter of bearing children? I can’t take it.”

“This is limited by the Heavenly Dao.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “If immortals give birth to children at will, wouldn’t there be a flood of Qi Refinement cultivators with immortal spiritual constitutions? The higher one’s cultivation level is, the more troublesome it would be to have children... Eh?”

He suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Jiu Wu hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?” “I suddenly realized something.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Uncle-Master, please accompany me. I might have to trouble you with Li Jing later.”

“Go and cultivate first. It’s just a small matter.” Jiu Wu waved his hand.

Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He rode a cloud to a suitable height and left the Heaven-Breaking Peak in a hurry. Although there was no need to keep a low profile in the sect, some things had already become a habit. With the principle that it was better to avoid trouble, those good habits could not be kicked casually.

After leaving the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Li Changshou focused most of his attention on the paper effigy of the Heavenly Courts.

A Heavenly Soldier was reporting in front of the study, saying that the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River, Bian Zhuang, had something urgent to see him about.

“Let him in.”

Li Changshou turned a paper effigy into an old immortal with white hair and a white beard.

“Yes!” The Heavenly Soldiers outside the door turned around and ran away.

Li Changshou waved his sleeve and opened the door and window. He closed the array formation outside the study and allowed the abundant and pure spiritual energy of the Heavenly Courts to enter. After a while, Bian Zhuang carried his Nine-Toothed Harrow and rushed over. He put away the harrow in front of the door, cupped his fists, and bowed.

“Greetings, Lord Water God!”

“Commander Bian, there’s no need to be so polite. I see that Commander Bian is sweating. Is there anything difficult?” Bian Zhuang hurriedly said, “Lord Water God, something major has happened!” “What is it?” Li Changshou asked leisurely. He was neither fast nor slow.

“Well...” Bian Zhuang was at a loss for words. He looked out of the door guiltily. Li Changshou understood and activated the array formation that he had just set down. He smiled and said, “Just say it. What are you afraid of?”

“Here’s what happened. Just now, my family sent me a communication jade token.” Bian Zhuang scratched his head in embarrassment. “Lord Water God, my family owns the World Edge Pavilion. You should know...” Li Changshou nodded with a smile. “I’ve heard that business seems to be booming.” “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you. This kind of business is not presentable.” Bian Zhuang sighed and said, “Even if the World Edge Pavilion has never done anything against their conscience, they are still in this industry... Don’t take it to heart. This is the case. On the Lone Spirit Island of the South Ocean, there is a branch pavilion that my family has just opened. Today, two old Daoists from the Western Sect secretly met the three ancient demon kings of the demon race in the pavilion to discuss how to deal with the Heavenly Courts and the Water God!” Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Do they have any concrete plans?” “Yes, but the cultivation level of the people in the pavilion is limited. The content that they heard is not very detailed,” Bian Zhuang said in a low voice. “They probably want to use a plan to sow discord between the Dao Sect and the Heavenly Courts. They also want to use a borrowed knife to kill others and get rid of them... Ahem, it’s not good for you!”

Li Changshou’s eyes slowly squinted. He sat on the round chair and pondered.

Soon, Li Changshou said, “Bian Zhuang.” “I’m here!”

“Thank you for sending the message in advance this time, but you have to remember something.”

Li Changshou lectured earnestly, “When you do something, you have to respect the industry. Even the World Edge Pavilion is the same. You have to think about providing high-quality and professional services to your guests, not try to find out about them. If you do that, it will easily ruin your reputation.”

Bian Zhuang could not help but be stunned. Then, he realized something and bowed.

“Thank you for your guidance, Water God. I will tell my family that they will only send me family letters from now on!”

“Alright.” Li Changshou smiled and agreed. He took out a jade token. There were two escape techniques inside and he pushed them into Bian Zhuang’s hands.

Bian Zhuang was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. When he left, the corners of his mouth curled up. “This fellow...”

Li Changshou shook his head, but he was extremely clear-headed.

It was obvious that Bian Zhuang and the World Edge Pavilion had been used.

It was true that the Western Sect and the demons had secretly met, but what exactly they were plotting was worth pondering.

There seemed to be a good reason for them to meet in the World Edge Pavilion. There were all kinds of people there, and it was easy to conceal their figures. It was an excellent place that ordinary immortals could not think of.

However, that was just a misconception...

The South Ocean was a huge place, and the Three Realms were huge too. It would not be difficult for them to find a place to meet secretly. Why did they have to discuss such a huge matter in a crowded place?

It was difficult for anyone to deduce if they chose to meet in a Minor Chiliocosm with weak Heavenly Dao power.

If the other party wanted to alert the enemy, was he trying to scare the snake?

Li Changshou quickly had an answer.

Li Changshou shifted his attention to the paper effigy vault in the Sea God Sect’s temple in Anshui City. He chose a paper effigy and transformed it into a young girl. She circled the ground using Earth Escape for a while.

After making sure that no one was watching him, he rushed to the South Ocean and jumped onto the familiar reef...

Li Changshou picked up an ocarina and played it slowly.

In this sea, dozens of fish emitted a wisp of blood energy at the same time. The blood energy quickly diluted in the seawater, and the dozens of fish continued to swim.

Daoist Wen Jing, who was cultivating in seclusion in a secret Cave Abode at the foot of the mountain, frowned.

The sound of the ocarina... “Spirit Mountain is alert. Stop all communication. We will observe the situation in a hundred years.”

As a secre

That was a secret signal that had been set a long time ago.

Daoist Wen Jing sighed... The sound of the ocarina also meant that it would be at least a hundred years before she could leave the Western Sect and return to the embrace of the Great Daoist Master in the backyard of the Tushita Palace. I’m really going to become the Grand Commander of the Western Sect’s Primordial Beasts! My tracks might even be washed clean by the Western Sect!

Unfortunately...

She raised her hand and wiped the corners of her lips. Daoist Wen Jing closed her eyes and chuckled... I haven’t seen the First Consort in a long time. I miss

him.

In Anshui City, the young girl played some music before throwing herself into the seawater and heading towards the lone island in the South Ocean.

To be safe, Li Changshou had to go and take a look.

However, halfway through Li Changshou’s journey, two distinguished guests arrived at the Sea God Temple of Anshui City. It was Zhao Gongming, who rushed over on a cloud with an unhappy Qiong Xiao. Li Changshou did not dare to delay and went out to welcome them. He led Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao to the rear hall.

Unexpectedly, the news that Zhao Gongming and his sister brought was similar to the news that Bian Zhuang had given them. They were both about the Western Sect and the ancient demons. Then, Zhao Gongming simply explained the process of him scamming the three people from the Western Sect... Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “This time, I encountered a tough opponent. There’s a disciple of the Western Saint who’s dressed in white and riding a green hound. He actually has some backbone and would rather die than submit. I couldn’t succeed.”

Li Changshou blinked. “What’s his name?”

“Ksitigarbha?” Qiong Xiao answered in boredom. “I think that’s his name.”

Li Changshou immediately stood up with a calm expression. He said seriously, “Brother, Fairy, are you busy now?”

Zhao Gongming waved his hand. “Just say it!” “Chase!”

Li Changshou said firmly, “Let’s see if we can find this person and destroy his soul!” Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao could not help but be stunned. They had never seen Li Changshou reveal such a decisive and ruthless side.
