Chapter 297: Stepping on the Thunder Point
Chapter 297: Stepping on the Thunder Point
When Yuanshi Tianzun heard what Zhunti Taoist said, his brows were so tight that they could pinch a fly to death.
He pondered in his heart, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Did Zhunti do this intentionally? Or was it unintentional?"
"He knew that he had suffered a loss in the battle with Tongtian Hun Dun on Jin'ao Island, but he still spoke out so openly. He really didn't care about my feelings at all."
Yuanshi Tianzun recalled the thrilling chaotic battle he had fought with Tongtian Jiaozhu on Jin'ao Island. Although he was not seriously injured, he had lost a lot of his vitality.
More importantly, the shame of defeat hung over his heart like a shadow, difficult to shake off.
But now, this Taoist Zhunti mentioned the matter so bluntly, how could he not feel resentful?
Seeing this, the Taoist Jie Yin on the side also realized that his junior brother Zhunti's remarks had touched the sore spot of Yuanshi Tianzun.
So, he quickly patted the Taoist Zhunti who wanted to continue complaining, and his action contained both blame and comfort, signaling him to shut up for the time being.
Then, the Taoist Jie Yin took over the conversation and said slowly:
"Brother Yuanshi, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. This time, I came here with you to discuss the treatment of Luo Shu."
"After all, we are all saints, how can we let a junior from Jiejiao control us? If we let him jump around during the Conferred Gods period, it might be detrimental to Chenjiao."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun first put aside his dissatisfaction with the words of Zhunti Taoist. Then, he began to think about what Jieyin Taoist said.
He also knew that Luo Shu of Jiejiao alone overpowered the twelve golden immortals of Chanjiao. If they fought alone, perhaps none of his disciples would be his opponent.
Even though I don't want to admit it, it's the fact.
After all, Yuanshi Tianzun himself saw Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Taiyi Zhenren and others being beaten like dogs by Luoshu.
As for asking Yuanshi Tianzun to personally take action to deal with Luoshu, the third-generation disciple of Jiejiao, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Since Jie Yin and Zhunti have come here and want to have a brief discussion about the Luoshu, I will see if they have any good ideas that can help me solve this problem.
"Brother Jieyin, please don't speak so eloquently. I know what you two are thinking."
"However, I would also like to hear what suggestions you two have for this?"
After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other, a trace of embarrassment flashed in their eyes, but disappeared in an instant.
Taoist Zhunti looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him and talked freely:
"From what we know, this Luo Shu has been interfering in the war between Shang and Zhou. The disciples of the Chan Sect have been repeatedly defeated by him, which shows how powerful he is."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuanshi Tianzun's face visibly darkened, and he thought to himself, why didn't I realize before that this Zhunti is so bad at speaking.
The Taoist Jie Yin standing by was also drunk. In the past, Junior Brother Zhunti was always talkative, but for some reason today, he repeatedly offended Yuanshi Tianzun.
In order to prevent Junior Brother Zhunti from making any more outrageous remarks, Taoist Jie Yin stopped the loss in time and said slowly:
"Therefore, my junior brother and I feel that this Luoshu may not be like the ordinary Daluo Jinxian, or even invincible at the same level."
"So, we think that since ordinary disciples cannot defeat this person, we might as well seek the help of a quasi-saint. Give him some benefits and ask him to help get rid of this arrogant Luo Shu."
When Yuanshi Tianzun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Jie Yin and Zhunti had the same idea as him. They both wanted to let people in the quasi-saint realm deal with this troublesome Jiejiao Luoshu.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun was also curious about who Jie Yin and Zhunti wanted to come forward to get rid of Luoshu.
After all, the second time he went to Jin'ao Island, he made everyone in the prehistoric world understand how much Tongtian Patriarch valued this disciple. Under normal circumstances, they would never become enemies with him.
"I don't know, who does Junior Brother Jie Yin want to get rid of Luo Shu?"
Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in this empty hall, and every word seemed to contain the supreme rhythm of Taoism.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Jie Yin smiled slightly. In that smile, there was both a sense of detachment from the world and a subtle depth that was not easily detected.
He gently twirled the rosary in his hand, and with every turn, Buddha's light seemed to appear, illuminating his eyes that were full of insight into the world.
"Lu Ya, the only surviving son of the former Demon Emperor Dijun. He has long been a powerful being in the Quasi-Sage realm, with extraordinary strength, and holds a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife."
"With his help, getting rid of Luo Shu wouldn't be easy. What do you think, Brother Yuanshi?"
The voice of the Taoist Jie Yin was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze, yet it carried a power that could not be ignored.
When Yuanshi Tianzun heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and it was obvious that he was not unfamiliar with this name.
Taoist Lu Ya, a mysterious and powerful being, has been in seclusion from the world since the death of the Demon King, and few people know his whereabouts.
He is not only a top-notch warrior in the quasi-saint realm, but also holds the ultimate innate spiritual treasure, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, which is extremely powerful. Moreover, Junior Sister Nuwa also takes good care of him.
"Lu Ya Taoist? He is indeed the best choice. However, he is aloof and arrogant, and acts casually. How can he easily agree to our request?"
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, obviously having some concerns about this matter.
The Taoist priest smiled slightly, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes:
"Brother, rest assured. I have my own way to convince him. Although Taoist Lu Ya is aloof and arrogant, he also values friendship and loyalty."
"The former demon king fell, and he bears the heavy responsibility of revenge and reviving the demon race. If we can lend him a hand or offer him attractive conditions, I believe he will not refuse."
When Yuanshi Tianzun heard this, his expression remained calm. He nodded slightly, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
He thought that if Randeng could capture Luoshu, not only would it be possible to restore a bit of the lost reputation of the Chan sect, but it would also avoid many tedious promises and transactions, which would be a two-pronged strategy.
"Let's discuss this later."
Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. "I have decided that Randeng will go to the front of the two armies. If Luoshu makes a move, he will be taken down."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, turned his gaze towards the two saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti, beside him, and continued:
"As for inviting Taoist Lu Ya, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not necessary for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other in bewilderment. They had actually forgotten that the Chan sect had a deputy leader - the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
They were not unfamiliar with the Burning Lamp Taoist, after all, they had been classmates for three thousand years. Although his strength was average, he was thick-skinned.
"Brother Yuanshi, although Randeng's strength is extraordinary, I seem to remember that he just broke through the Quasi-Saint realm not long ago. If he can't get the Luoshu, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?" Taoist Zhunti attacked again.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly. He was already helpless towards today's Zhunti Taoist.
"Brother Zhunti, even though Randeng has just broken through to the Quasi-Sage realm not long ago, he is still not comparable to Luo Shu who is at the Daluo Jinxian realm."
"You know, between people of the same realm, there are still spiritual treasures to help, so they can fight across a small realm. But, have you ever heard of anyone winning a cross-realm battle?"
After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Zhunti Taoist impatiently.
