At this moment, Lao Jun did not have any doubts.
With his divine power and supernatural abilities.
He naturally wouldn't just judge people by their appearance.
Just from that one glance.
He had already seen through 'Xu Yuan's' primordial spirit, true spirit, and magical power aura.
With his means.
Almost all the transformation and disguise techniques in the Three Realms.
Couldn't possibly hide from him.
And after confirming that the person on the Pansi Ridge was indeed Xu Yuan himself.
He also stopped thinking about Xu Yuan's matters.
After all, he was very clear.
Xu Yuan was the Qinxian Gu Can, the one most valued by the Saint Mother Yuan Jun.
He was unwilling to fall out with the Saint Mother Yuan Jun.
So instead.
He shifted his attention back to the memories of the Crane Immortal.
"He did things without proper consideration."
"What use is there in taking the Six Root Instruments?"
After confirming that the monkey seemed to have taken the 'Tongue of Desire' from the Crane Immortal.
Lao Jun also shook his head.
The origin of Sun Wukong, and the Heaven-Mandated Person plan guided by the Six Root Instruments.
As one of the highest-ranking immortal gods in the Heavenly Court, he was naturally one of the mastermind behind the scenes.
So he was very clear.
Those Six Root Instruments, even if they were taken away.
They were indestructible and could not be refined.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Court could easily use the Six Root Instruments to lock onto the enemy's location.
For example, at this time.
Lao Jun started to casually calculate.
However, just as he started calculating.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Crane Immortal, who was still in shock, saw.
From Lao Jun's body.
Vast spiritual energy, boundless magical power surged into the sky.
The entire Nine Heavens and Nine Realms, the entire Heavenly Palace Saint Abode.
All trembled for a moment in this instant.
"..."
And the Crane Immortal, for the first time.
From this heartless, impartial, supreme and holy Lao Jun.
Saw doubt and anger!
"Can't calculate!?"
At this moment, Lao Jun's anger stemmed from this.
Because after he calculated at this moment, he discovered.
The stolen Tongue of Desire.
He couldn't calculate its location.
So Lao Jun naturally knew what it meant.
It meant that their Heavenly Court had lost one of the 'Six Root Instruments of Creation' from now on.
It meant that they would have a huge loss in their benefits from the Heaven-Mandated Person.
It meant...things had gone out of their control!
And the Taishang Lao Jun couldn't remember.
When was the last time he had a similar feeling of loss of control, tens of millions of years ago.
"Master..."
At this time, the Crane Immortal felt a sense of foreboding.
And the next moment.
Lao Jun's gaze naturally fell upon him.
"White Crane."
"You failed in your duty, first damaging the Pansi Ridge's spiritual essence."
"Now you have also caused the Heavenly Court to lose the 'Tongue of Desire,' ruining a thousand years of planning."
"Both mistakes - even if you are a disciple of the Jade Void Palace, you will not be spared!"
These words came out.
The Crane Immortal's expression also changed drastically: "Master, I..."
He knew what was going to happen next.
Because he had seen too much.
He knew how great the loss of the 'Tongue of Desire' was.
The Great Sage's Root Instruments were a total of six, the Buddhist and Heavenly Court each held a part.
Now that the Heavenly Court had lost one, it represented a loss for all the immortals involved in this matter.
Someone had to take the responsibility.
And his identity as a disciple of the Jade Void Palace and his actions in this matter.
Made him the best person to bear the responsibility.
So he wanted to plead.
But obviously.
He was too late.
The next moment, Lao Jun simply flicked his sleeve.
Then, the Crane Immortal who had just been resurrected.
Was once again completely erased from this world by him.
After erasing the Crane Immortal.
Taishang Lao Jun pondered for a moment.
Then, he slowly got up.
"This old Daoist will go to the Jade Pool and look for the Great Heavenly Emperor."
His gaze fell upon a corner of the hall.
He saw.
A Golden Horned Boy kneeling on the ground.
From the beginning to the end, from the death of the Silver Horned Boy to the fall of the Crane Immortal.
He kept his head down, without saying a word.
"Go to the Jade Void Palace and tell the Heavenly Emperor about the death of the White Crane."
Lao Jun said calmly.
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
So, the Golden Horned Boy immediately got up.
He fled and left.
After the Golden Horned Boy left.
Taishang Lao Jun turned his head.
He looked at the smoky alchemy furnace.
Then...
"Buzz!"
He gently raised his hand, lightly beckoning to a piece of alchemy material not far away.
The next moment, a piece of antler jumped up.
In a moment, it transformed into a Silver Horned Boy.
"Greetings, Grandmaster!"
He respectfully bowed, his voice innocent and childish.
As if he was completely unaware of what had happened before.
"You will be called 'Silver Horn' from now on, and you will take care of the alchemy chamber."
Lao Jun spoke softly.
Then, as the boy repeatedly replied in agreement.
He stepped out of the Dusitu Palace, disappearing into a puff of smoke.
The entire Dusitu Palace returned to a state of tranquility.
Only the sound of Qingsi's sleep echoed here.
And no one among the immortals in the Three Realms would know.
The Silver Horned Boy in this Dusitu Palace had been replaced again.
Of course.
Even if someone knew, no one would care.
Because, as said before.
For Lao Jun.
Everything in this alchemy chamber was expendable.
Three days later.
Pansi Ridge, Golden Light Garden.
"I told you so, the view from the top of the mountain is much better than that gloomy Pansi Cave."
Xu Yuan, naturally, wouldn't know about Lao Jun's plans in the Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, he would surely be scared out of his wits.
At this moment, he was looking at the newly built houses in the Golden Light Garden.
He was feeling very pleased with himself.
After killing the Crane Immortal, taking the Root Instruments and treasures.
He quietly returned to the Pansi Ridge.
He re-undid his transformation and switched back with his fourth sister.
"I used the Buddha's Dharma Form and intentionally acted like Sun Wukong.
"Perhaps the Heavenly Court still thinks I'm a Buddhist?"
He thought to himself.
Of course.
No matter how the Heavenly Court thought, Xu Yuan was confident.
No matter what, they wouldn't be able to guess his identity.
So at this moment, he was in a good mood.
He even started to discuss the scenery of the Pansi Ridge with his fourth sister.
It has to be said, although the Pansi Ridge was a place where evil spirits gathered.
But itself, it could be considered a spiritual vein and immortal mountain.
"Hmm..."
However, at this moment, the fourth sister seemed a little absent-minded.
"Huh? Is something bothering you?"
At this moment, Xu Yuan also curiously asked.
Hearing this, the fourth sister said softly: "I feel like when I pretended to be you...I might have been discovered by the second sister."
She seemed a little worried.
"The second sister?"
Xu Yuan, hearing this, laughed: "Don't worry, don't worry, the power of the Subduing Heaven Banner is great - the second sister's cultivation can't see through that transformation."
"Besides...the second sister is family, what are you worried about."
But after he finished saying this.
He saw the fourth sister give him a speechless roll of her eyes.
"You..."
She sighed, seemingly very troubled.
But in the end, she didn't say anything more: "Forget it...I'll deal with it myself."
Having said that, she looked at Xu Yuan: "Senior brother - are you going to retreat next!?"
She still called Xu Yuan 'senior brother,' which was a habit between them.
And now she naturally also understood something about Xu Yuan's special nature.
So she had already guessed.
Xu Yuan should be going into retreat next.
"Yeah."
Xu Yuan didn't deny it.
He nodded: "Next, I plan to retreat...and absorb all that I have gained here."
"Yeah."
So, the fourth sister also nodded: "I have already arranged the formation needed for your retreat, it's in the flower field in the Golden Light Garden - that's also where the Pansi Ridge's spiritual essence is most abundant."
"Also, I have already arranged for the most trustworthy demons to guard..."
She talked eloquently.
So, Xu Yuan's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration again.
Perhaps this is what a virtuous wife is like.
But in the end.
The fourth sister did not forget to remind him.
"Three days from now is the celebration ceremony."
"You will also officially become the Lord of Pansi Ridge on that day...don't miss the time."
