Shi Hao couldn’t believe that the root of all the misunderstandings was eating someone’s mount again.
Thinking back to the last time when he ate the mount of an old man from the Human Sect, and then got into trouble with that same old man several times, Shi Hao was speechless. At the same time, he realized that the Journey to the West wasn’t lying to him, there really were too many demons with backgrounds!
“It turns out it was my junior disciple’s mount, but it’s already eaten. How about I owe you a favor?” Shi Hao said, holding the injured Xiao Ling.
Wen Zhong wanted to be polite, but thinking about the current situation of the Shang Dynasty, he looked at Shi Hao with burning eyes and made his request: “Uncle Master, I have something to ask of you. Please come down from the mountain and aid the Shang Dynasty!”
“Forget it. I’m just a mortal. I can’t help you much by going down with you.”
Moreover, Shi Hao, knowing the trajectory of the Conferred Gods Tribulation, understood that the Shang Dynasty was a big trap.
Even a Great Golden Immortal would surely die if they jumped in. Shi Hao had just escaped from Chen Tang Guan, how could he be willing to risk his life again?
“Uncle Master, if you don’t want to, then so be it. Why do you have to tease me?” Although he knew Shi Hao would refuse, what Wen Zhong couldn’t accept was the reason Shi Hao gave!
“Well, I owe you a favor anyway, how about I recommend a few disciples from the Interception Sect to you? If you can get the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong, to personally visit them, they should agree to help support the Shang Dynasty.” Shi Hao thought for a moment and decided to find a few people to replace him to pay off his debt to this person.
“That’s great!”
Hearing this, Wen Zhong readily agreed. Although he couldn’t get Shi Hao to help, if there were other second-generation disciples from the Interception Sect helping, it wouldn’t be bad either.
Then, Shi Hao gave Wen Zhong a list. It contained the names of the first batch of Interception Sect disciples who would support the Shang Dynasty during the Conferred Gods Tribulation, such as the Four Saints of Nine Dragon Island, Zhao Gongming, and the Ten Heavenly Kings of Golden Ao Island!
Anyway, they were all going to support the Shang Dynasty sooner or later, it didn’t matter whether Shi Hao recommended them or not.
“I almost got myself involved. So, never owe favors to anyone casually.” Watching Wen Zhong leave with satisfaction, Shi Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“But Uncle Master, those disciples from the Interception Sect you mentioned are very famous. The Saint has given a decree to keep his disciples from leaving their seclusion. Will they really be willing to come out and support the Shang Dynasty?”
My Master was put under a restriction by the Saint, making it very difficult to leave. I was worried about Uncle Master’s safety, so I pleaded with him for a long time before he finally agreed to let me out.
It’s not so easy for others to leave Golden Ao Island.
Especially the Ten Heavenly Kings, who have been in seclusion on Golden Ao Island for hundreds of years.
Fortunately, Uncle Master is safe and sound. It seems that the Saint, Laozi, is magnanimous and didn’t hold a grudge against Uncle Master for killing his mount, the Qing Niu. Otherwise, with the Saint’s power, it would be easy to deal with Uncle Master.
“With the Interception Sect’s third-generation disciple, Wen Zhong, making the request, it shouldn’t be difficult to persuade them to come out and support the Shang Dynasty, seeing as they are fellow disciples.” The Interception Sect has countless disciples, each with their own personality. How could they be controlled by just one decree from Tongtian?
Cai Yun Xian Zi thought about how she risked her life to come out, and about the many third-generation disciples serving in the Shang Dynasty, and nodded in agreement.
There were many third and fourth-generation disciples of the Interception Sect who worked for the Shang Dynasty.
Cai Yun once asked her Master why the Saint didn’t summon all the Interception Sect disciples back to the sect and forbid them from going out. Her Master answered: “Disciples can act as a tribulation for their Master.”
Understanding the truth, Cai Yun was also shocked. There were only so many slots on the Conferred Gods List, and the more people who underwent the tribulation, the less likely they would be to get on the list.
Therefore, the Interpretation Sect, which always valued their lineage, was no exception. During the Conferred Gods Tribulation, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Interpretation Sect each took in one or two disciples.
But now, with the strength of Wen Zhong, who is almost invincible at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, still asking for help from the Interception Sect, it shows that the situation is very urgent. Perhaps the tribulation has reached a very terrifying stage.
Cai Yun sighed, “Uncle Master, won’t it be very dangerous if they come out?”
“How to say, it’s basically a one-way ticket to death. But for most of them, being on the Conferred Gods List isn’t necessarily a bad thing. They can become immortal like the Three Sovereigns, but the downside is that they can’t improve their cultivation any further. So Cai Yun, don’t get involved in that mess. Just stay here. Although I don’t have much cultivation, I think I can still save your life!”
In Shi Hao’s opinion, with Cai Yun’s cultivation, she probably wouldn’t even make it onto the Conferred Gods List even if she died, she would only be reborn through reincarnation.
Although he didn’t remember every detail of the Conferred Gods, he knew the general outline, and he used it to help Cai Yun avoid misfortune.
“Alright, Cai Yun will serve Uncle Master from now on.” Cai Yun said obediently.
Shi Hao patted Cai Yun’s little head with satisfaction, listening to someone’s advice is like eating a full meal.
Then, as if remembering the Witch Ling he was holding in his arms, Shi Hao asked Cai Yun for a few healing pills.
With the power of a cultivator’s pills, they should be able to quickly help the unconscious Witch Ling recover from her injuries.
“Uncle Master, she seems to have the blood of the Witch Race. How did you meet her?” Glancing at Witch Ling, how could Cai Yun, with her Great Golden Immortal realm, not see her origins?
After the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the glory of the Witch Race had come to an end.
Many Witch Race members disappeared, but a portion remained in the Great Desolate World and intermarried with the Human Race, resulting in many mixed-blood Witch Humans.
But after generations of dilution with the Human Race, many of them had very diluted Witch Race blood.
Of course, occasionally there would be one or two individuals with ancestral blood, such as Witch Ling.
Moreover, Cai Yun noticed that Witch Ling was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, which was compatible with the Witch Race, and was about to break through to the second turn.
“Meeting her was fate.” Thinking back to their first meeting, Shi Hao smiled and told his junior disciple about how they met a while ago.
Cai Yun chuckled, so she was a little foodie. Thinking about Uncle Master’s beef hot pot last time, Cai Yun understood Witch Ling’s feelings. Even she couldn’t resist it, let alone her.
“By the way, where’s your Master?”
Returning home, Shi Hao also remembered his elder sister.
“Uncle Master, Master is too busy. He doesn’t have much free time. But he actually cares about Uncle Master very much, so he sent me to visit you.”
To protect Master from getting involved in the karma between Uncle Master and the Saint, Laozi, Tongtian Saint forbid him from leaving Golden Ao Island.
“Okay.”
Shi Hao sighed, she was the only relative he had in this world, so he was very concerned about Shi Ji’s safety.
Otherwise, Shi Hao wouldn’t have stayed in Chen Tang Guan waiting for her to return.
He really wanted his sister to get out of the whirlpool of the Interception Sect, but Shi Ji also said that it was very difficult to sever the karma between them and the Interception Sect.
Since they had become disciples, unless they betrayed the sect, their relationship could never be severed.
Betrayal was a betrayal of one’s Master and ancestors. With the current size of the Interception Sect, the outcome would probably be very tragic. Unless they defected to the Western Sect and received the protection of the two Saints of the West.
