Chapter 207 Gongming Is Definitely Going To Help!

When the two Western Sect experts left, their faces were as pale as dried eggplants. If he did not care about the demeanor of a great expert and was afraid that Zhao Gongming would beat him up again, he might have already cursed and yelled… Anyone else would be angry if they were put in his position. However, they could only lower their heads and leave dejectedly. They would return to the sect to enter seclusion for five hundred years and not wander around in the Primordial World.

After the two of them walked away, Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and focused. He recalled everything that had happened.

After a while, Zhao Gongming suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. His laughter spread throughout a thousand kilometers.

“Hahahaha!”

Although Perfected Huang Long did not understand what was going on, he also laughed… For a moment, the ocean was filled with the cheerful laughter of the old men. Li Changshou’s paper effigy did not appear. He continued to hide in Perfected Huang Long’s sleeve…

The other party could still kill him.

It would be best if he did not reveal that he was involved.

When Perfected Huang Long first came to find him, Li Changshou had considered that it might be a plot against him.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Changshou could not let that matter go. He did not want to create more trouble for himself.

With his excellent paper effigy technique, even if he was schemed against, he would at most lose a paper effigy and waste a little tree sap.

Therefore, he came to this place and manipulated it secretly…

Ahem, can the matters of the disciples of the Dao Sect be called manipulation?

Li Changshou had only given the two seniors of the Daoist Sect a little suggestion to help them get out of their current predicament and avoid any trouble. That was all.

At the same time, he would use his oath to restrict the two Western Sect experts from going out for five hundred years… That was also what Li Changshou had planned when he came.

For experts at the level of Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long, five hundred years was not considered long. Perhaps, it was only the duration of their nap. The other party would easily overlook the restrictions and agree.

However, in Li Changshou’s deductions, the next hundred years were crucial to the matter of the dragon race’s entry to the Heavenly Courts.

The Western Sect could temporarily reduce their combat power. Even if it did not affect the overall situation, it would be easier to control the situation in the future…

Perfected Huang Long laughed along with him. He could not help but ask, “Why are you laughing so loudly?”

“Hahaha, I’m laughing at the people I’ve scammed!”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard proudly and said leisurely, “Senior Brother Huang Long, you might not know, but when I was in the Aparagodānīya Continent with my third sister, Qiong Xiao, we taught many Western disciples that we could not stand, a lesson. Today, the method those two people used to extort Senior Brother was learned from me! Unfortunately, they only learned a few tricks!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

What is there to be proud of?

Why does this old swindler sound like he’s enjoying the honor of getting rich from putting in hard work?

Zhao Gongming continued laughing.

“Hahaha, if it weren’t for the fact that I and Third Sister were stopped by my Second Sister, Yun Xiao, in time, perhaps the Western Sect would be chasing me and yelling about killing me. Hahaha! Never would he have thought that the solution to that problem would be so simple! Hahahaha! I’m happy!”

The corners of Perfected Huang Long’s mouth twitched…

Are all my Fellow Daoists from Jie School… SO unrestrained?

Perfected Huang Long suddenly thought of something. He lifted his sleeve and shouted softly, “Fellow Daoist Sea God? Are you coming out?”

“Brother Sea God!”

Zhao Gongming rushed over excitedly and looked inside Perfected Huang Long’s sleeve.

He praised, “I owe you another favor. I really don’t know how to repay you!” Li Changshou thought, Give me a compilation of photos of Fairy Yun Xiao!

Of course, Li Changshou would never say such jokes. At most, he would tease her in his heart.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission.

“Senior, please find a secluded place. I have something to tell you. My cultivation level is not as high as yours. If the Western Sect finds out that I was behind this, I’m afraid they would really destroy my tiny Sea God Temple.”

“Would they dare to!?!”

Zhao Gongming’s eyes widened.

Perfected Huang Long smiled and nodded.

“Today, I owe you a favor. I really have to think about how I can repay you and sever the karma. Why don’t we go to the temple of the Sea God, Fellow Daoist?”

“Let’s go and drink the Sea God’s tea.”

Zhao Gongming called out and wiped the blood and aura from the area. Then, he and Huang Long rushed to the South Continent together.

After that, the two elders and disciples of the Saint of the Dao Sect changed their route and headed to the main temple of Anshui City after accepting Li Changshou’s suggestion.

The clouds passed the five continents and the birds returned to the sky.

Li Changshou focused on multitasking. He glanced at his Little Grandmaster and Exalted Wang Qing. He activated another paper effigy hidden under Anshui City and made some preparations in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple.

Before the two big shots came, the tea had been prepared. The Sea God Temple was temporarily sealed.

Li Changshou already had a plan for befriending Perfected Huang Long, probing to find out his attitude towards the dragon race, persuading him to help him, and help the dragon race enter the Heavenly Courts…

When Perfected Huang Long and Zhao Gongming arrived, the Sea God Temple in the mortal world had also gathered the ‘big shots’ and ‘fake big shots’ of the Three Sects.

A few fellow Daoists and two elders bowed and greeted each other.

Zhao Gongming was in high spirits. He told Perfected Huang Long about his previous “glorious battle achievements”. Li Changshou smiled bitterly as he listened from the side… Fortunately, Zhao Gongming had already understood that the fraud tactics could be seen through easily. He would not use it in the future.

Looking at the scene before them… Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long sat under the painting of the Grandmaster of Heaven in the disciples’ territory. They were chatting and laughing. Li Changshou felt a little different.

Ever since he understood the environment he was in, he had a sense of anxiety and nervousness towards the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

Today, he saw the two of them who were mighty figures of Chan School and Jie School. They would fight fiercely in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation in the future. Yet, they could also brag and talk happily…

This is probably the most terrifying part of the tribulation.

Li Changshou suppressed the realization in his heart and he joined the conversation with a smile. He took the initiative to divert the topic to Perfected Huang Long. Soon, Li Changshou wanted to say something but stopped himself. It attracted the greetings of Perfected Huang Long and Zhao Gongming

Master Zhao waved his hand and smiled.

“Brother Sea God, if you have something to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here! You are a disciple of Ren School. Perfected Huang Long is also one of the twelve Golden Immortals in the Jade Void Palace. We are family members of the Dao Sect. By stammering, are you not treating us as friends?”

Li Changshou sighed softly. He seemed to be saying it to Zhao Gongming, but he was actually saying it to Perfected Huang Long…

“To be honest, I’ve encountered a troublesome matter recently. It’s not convenient for me to tell you about it. It’s also… an instruction I received.” Li Changshou cupped his hands.

Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long looked enlightened. They each perked up and gestured for Li Changshou to explain in detail.

Li Changshou said, “Senior Huang Long, I heard rumors from the Primordial World that you are from the dragon race. I wonder if this is true.”

Perfected Huang Long smiled awkwardly and sighed. “I am indeed from the dragon race. However, the dragon race does not wish to acknowledge me. According to seniority, I am of the same generation as the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. I should address them as elder brothers.”

At the side, Zhao Gongming was puzzled. “Brother Sea God, why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Li Changshou dipped his fingers in some tea and wrote the word ‘Heaven’ on the table. Then, he wrote the word ‘Dragon’ at the side…

Li Changshou did not want to hide anything from such a disciple of the Saint and the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School. He directly told the matter to Perfected Huang Long and let him decide on his own. However, when explaining that matter, Li Changshou paid more attention to the technique of language. When he heard Li Changshou say that he was learning to be funny, ahem, talk about the pros and cons, he frowned.

The Western Sect had schemed to subdue the dragon race.

The dragon race had already reached a stage where they were filled with worries. The buildings would collapse and the four seas would be in danger.

The Ren School the destiny of the Heavenly Dao and wanted to integrate the dragon race into the Heavenly Courts. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was the main person in charge, while Li Changshou, the Sea God of the South Ocean, was running errands for the Great Daoist Master… “This is indeed a good thing for the dragon race.”

Perfected Huang Long muttered to himself and looked at Li Changshou. He smiled bitterly and said, “However, I don’t have much contact with the dragon race. I’m afraid they won’t listen to me even if I speak.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Senior, do you still care about the dragon race?”

Emotional manipulation was a common trick in the Primordial World.

“They’re my roots.” Yellow Dragon Perfected Being sighed softly. His eyes shone brightly. “No matter what, I will not leave them in the lurch.”

However…

Ah, it’s a long story. This happened a long time ago.” Li Changshou said, “I have connections with the dragon race. The Sea God Sect also has a portion of the dragon race’s merit from incense offerings.

Senior, I understand what you are sighing and feeling emotional about.

I would like to have the audacity to speak up here.”

Huang Long revealed a warm smile and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t have to be so humble. Feel free to teach me.”

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Since ancient times, the dragon race has been carrying the negative karma of destruction. Their destiny has withered and they are struggling to survive. However, they are unwilling to let the matter end. They have been doing ridiculous actions that would damage the dragon race’s reputation. Senior, you have been watching from the side. You should be very clear. Why is that so? The heroic souls of the dragon race with aspirations sighed and paced back and forth in the sea. They are also hoping that the dragon race would once again stand tall in the Primordial World so that they do not have to worry about whether their children are able to successfully break their shells… Senior, the spring flowers have turned into mud, and the leaves have returned to their roots. The sins committed by the dragon race in ancient times had to be shouldered over the years. However, the current state of the dragon race can be improved through this. At the very least, when the Heavenly Courts are fully prepared and the Heavenly Dao is augmented, the dragon race would be able to save half of the suffering from the ocean. The key to this is that within the next hundred years…”

“The fallen leaves return to their roots. Spring flowers turn into mud.”

Perfected Huang Long’s eyes were filled with confusion. He sat in his chair and could not regain his senses for a long time.

All of a sudden,

“I helped!”

Huh?

Li Changshou glared at Uncle Zhao, who was suddenly excited for some reason.

Daoist Gongming stood up and looked at Li Changshou with a burning gaze. “I, Zhao Gongming, will definitely help the Dragon race!”

Eh… Eh?

Zhao Gongming continued shouting, “I wouldn’t have known that the dragon race is in such a miserable state if I did not hear it from you! That’s right. Although the dragon race has endless negative karma, letting the dragon race enter the Heavenly Courts is a good thing for the Heavenly Courts, the Three Realms, the dragon race, and the Dao Sect! Brother, what should we do!?!” Li Changshou was dumbfounded.

What the hell? This is a huge karma. Apart from some merit, there are no benefits. Why are you doing this, Uncle Zhao!?!

No!

Logically speaking, shouldn’t you be watching from the sidelines when you hear this?

If it was anyone else, they would not easily interfere with the endless karma of the dragon race. At most, they would help to come up with ideas…

I was trying to persuade Perfected Huang Long. However, even he, an expert of Chan School who was from the dragon race, did not say a word. Why are you so excited, Master Zhao?

Li Changshou had originally wanted to let Zhao Gongming know about that as well. It was equivalent to preparing a case for the interrogator. In that case, he could be considered to have taken care of the elder’s pride. Li Changshou did not believe that Zhao Gongming would secretly report to the West. However, he did not expect that Master Zhao would be unusually pleased with what he had said to Perfected Huang Long… At that moment, Daoist Huang Long patted the armrest of his chair and sighed. “At the end of the day, I was from the dragon race. How can I look at the dragon race and be schemed by the West! Thank you for enlightening me, Fellow Daoist. I will go and find a few Dragon Kings of the dragon race and persuade them to join the Heavenly Courts!”

“Senior, wait. Senior, wait!”

Li Changshou could not be bothered with Zhao Gongming. He hurriedly stopped Huang Long and explained in detail how he should plan.

Zhao Gongming did not treat him as an outsider. He placed his hands in his sleeves and moved closer to Li Changshou and Perfected Huang Long. He kept nodding and said, “Yes, that’s right.”

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry… It was naturally beneficial for Zhao Gongming to get involved in that matter. He had a huge helping hand.

There were also disadvantages… He seemed to be getting more and more embroiled with Master Zhao.

Since things had come to that, Li Changshou could only keep it a secret from the two big shots. He could not tell anyone else to prevent this matter from being exposed. In the beginning, Perfected Huang Long felt that it was inappropriate for him to plot against the dragon race as a dragon. However, Huang Long felt that what Li Changshou said was indeed the most effective and most reasonable arrangement…

Hence, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were gradually brought into the ditch by Li Changshou. He walked forward and squatted at the bottom of the ditch…

The entire process of convincing Perfected Huang Long was extremely smooth. It was so smooth that Li Changshou felt a little guilty.

However, Master Zhao jumped out and intervened again.

“Senior Brother Huang Long, why don’t we swear an oath here today!”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and said in a serious tone, “Firstly, you can’t leak this matter. Secondly, he is waiting for Brother Sea God to summon him. Let’s meet here immediately. How about that?”

“Sure!”

The two big shots made a simple promise in front of Li Changshou. Following that, Zhao Gongming took out three jade tokens and handed them to Li Changshou and Perfected Huang Long.

“Let’s use this token as our signal. Brother Sea God, when you crush this token, Senior Brother Huang Long and I will immediately sense it!”

Perfected Huang Long said firmly, “Alright! It’s settled then!”

Zhao Gongming rolled up his sleeves and said loudly, “Senior Brother Huang Long, let’s not disturb Brother Sea God! Let him brainstorm. Let’s prepare our mystical abilities and Dharma treasures and face the Western Sect’s experts head-on!”

Perfected Huang Long’s expression was a little excited as he nodded repeatedly.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Master Zhao’s ‘reckless anger’ was no longer a passive skill. It was an army-level halo!

“Brother, Senior Brother, I’ll take my leave first! I’ll go back and polish my divine powers and prepare my Dharma treasures. I’ll wait for Brother Sea God to summon me. You don’t have to send me off!”

After saying that, Zhao Gongming took a step forward and left the rear hall. He turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Perfected Huang Long praised, “Junior Brother Gongming, you have lived up to your name! My Dao Heart is broken!

Fellow Daoist Sea God, farewell!” The Perfected One sighed softly and laughed. He flew to the north on his cloud, leaving Li Changshou alone in front of the rear hall…

It was a little messy.
