These three lowly people seemed to be reborn after meeting Bai Suzhen.
From a mortal to a top-ranked expert on the Golden List.
If we could win over Bai Suzhen, even if we only cultivated a few powerful individuals like Xue Damo and Hei Tong...
Even if they are slightly inferior, having a few more Celestial-level experts is still a good thing.
Isn't Bai Suzhen, with such qualities, worth the Tang Dynasty's best efforts to win her over?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the civil and military officials present were discerning individuals.
After realizing what had happened, they all shouted in unison that Wu Zetian was wise and sagacious.
"We must find out the identity of the leader in purple as soon as possible."
Wu Zetian had made up her mind to deal with the demon lord Bai Suzhen.
"The entire Bad Guys team has been mobilized. No matter how well the leader in purple hides, he can't escape our pursuit."
Shangguan Wan'er spoke with certainty.
291 - The Khan's brilliant plan!
In the Imperial Court of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
"Without scriptures or the Way, yet a king of scriptures? What do you all think? Can this person be used by our Great Yuan?"
Temujin developed a strong interest in the scriptures.
On the surface, the rankings of the King of Sutras and the Joyful Monks are similar.
But actually?
He was injured by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and has not yet recovered!
If he were at his peak, would Jing Wang be qualified to be among the top twenty?
"Great Khan, recruiting the King of Scripture is not difficult."
The joyful monk was radiant with pride at having passed the exam and was at his most elated.
This time, the Heavenly Golden List bestowed upon him the Mythical Daoist Pearl and the "Supreme Yoga Tantra".
The former can help him accelerate his comprehension of the power of the mythical realm, while the latter can be combined with his Joyful Zen Secret Method to cultivate the supreme method.
This was an opportunity he had waited for through ten lifetimes.
"However, King Jing was injured by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
"If we recruit him, wouldn't we be making enemies of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen?"
"Uh... never mind!"
Temujin suddenly realized that, compared to the King of Heaven, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen was the one the Great Yuan Dynasty truly needed to win over.
"Should we just kill King Jing directly?"
Yelü Chucai was ruthless and cunning. Since he could not be recruited, it would be better to eliminate him to prevent future troubles.
Temujin waved his hands repeatedly, then suddenly looked at the Joyful Monk.
"Master, why not find the Queen and use the secret method of reincarnation to allow him to be reborn as someone else?"
"This way, we can avoid offending the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and gain her trust by using his corpse."
"It can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
"Khan's brilliant plan!"
Upon hearing this, the Yuan dynasty officials all expressed their admiration.
Only the Great Yuan Dynasty could employ such methods.
If it were the Qin or Tang dynasties, they would never have had such capabilities.
"This method is feasible, but given King Jing's strength..."
"It must be done personally."
The monk pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"So, has Lin Shiyin been found yet?"
Previously, Ebizo's schemes caused the three dynasties to miss out on Lin Shiyin.
Upon his return, Temujin once again dispatched Padmasambhava, Sihanfei, the Longxiang monk, and twenty-four red-robed monks to the Ming Dynasty to search for Lin Shiyin's whereabouts.
Time passed, and Padmasambhava remained missing.
"Yesterday's intelligence revealed that Ebizo may have joined forces with the crew of the Xuanhua and is fleeing towards the Sui Dynasty," reported the joyful monk.
"The Xuanhua? Did that Seventh Master Bu Yuanting travel with you?"
In this list of names, Bu Yuanting, the seventh-ranking member of the Xuanhua School, is prominently featured. He was actually from Yunzhou. His biography mentions the immortal "Three Laughs," as well as secrets such as the Monk Emperor and the Mirror of the Mind. Particularly astonishing is the Monk Emperor's ability to foresee the future through the Mirror of the Mind—a supernatural power far surpassing Padmasambhava's methods of divination.
"It is reported that there are indeed seven leaders accompanying them," the joyful monk replied.
"Great Khan, what should we do with this man? Recruit him, execute him, or avoid his advance?"
"With a thousand-year-old monster like Xiao Sanxiao as his backer, it's not wise to act rashly," Temujin pondered. "However, since Xiao Sanxiao can live for a thousand years, could his close friend, the Monk Emperor, also be...?"
"That is indeed possible, but such reclusive masters are probably hard to find." The joyful monk looked troubled. Since the monk emperor was a member of the Buddhist community, the Great Yuan Dynasty had the opportunity to recruit him, but unfortunately, his fate and whereabouts were both a mystery, so even if they wanted to recruit him, they had no way to do so.
"Alright, let's bring Lin Shiyin back first. Master Huanxi, you and Master Naomao will immediately go to find the Scripture King. He is seriously injured and urgently needs spiritual medicine. We can agree to all his conditions and make sure he submits to our Great Yuan." Temujin made his final decision.
"We will obey the Khan's orders!" The two monks accepted the order and left.
Inside the World Assembly Hall in Yunzhou, at the No. 1 Building in the World.
"Bu Yuanting is actually a member of the Bu clan?" Xiong Ba's face darkened. He couldn't help but think of his disciple Bu Jingyun, who had betrayed his sect. This boy was exceptionally talented. Back then, the Mud Bodhisattva had predicted, "A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds." After taking in Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng and passing on his unique skills, the World Alliance indeed swept through Yunzhou, with only Wushuang City remaining unconquered.
What alarmed Xiong Ba even more was that Bu Jingyun's martial arts progressed at an astonishing speed. When he taught him the Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique, he deliberately withheld two moves, but Bu Jingyun made great progress with the incomplete palm technique.
Xiong Ba thought to himself, if it were him, he could never be as outstanding as Bu Jingyun.
He once thought it was fate, that Bu Jingyun was born with such talent for martial arts.
The Heavenly Path Golden List has now revealed information about the Bu Clan and Bu Yuanting.
Could it be that his "good apprentice" actually comes from the Bu clan of gods?
"Stop making wild guesses." The purple-robed leader couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen appear on the list again.
He knew his son's ambition well and naturally understood what Xiong Ba was thinking at that moment.
"Whether he is a member of the Bu clan or not is no longer your concern."
"I am somewhat interested in King Jing. Since he betrayed the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, is there any chance we can win him over?"
"It's not impossible." Xiong Ba felt a little regretful, realizing he had missed out on a valuable talent.
"I will send people to find out the whereabouts of King Jing and see if he is willing to submit to the World Society."
"But you also need to think carefully. Once he joins, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen will come knocking on your door sooner or later."
"Will we be able to handle it then?"
"This..." Upon hearing this, the purple-robed leader's imposing manner weakened slightly.
His inner demon is none other than the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.
Inside the Shaolin Temple in Yunzhou.
Seeing King Heitong ascend to the Heavenly Dao Golden List, he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Damn it! How could this traitor even make the list? It's infuriating..."
"Black Eyes, his inclusion on the list is nothing to worry about." Xue Damo had already taken the Crimson Beauty Elixir, making him extremely handsome, so he removed his veil.
"Haven't you noticed the real problem yet?"
"What's the problem?" Black Eyes looked at Snow Damo blankly.
Chapter 154 Rebirth Pill
A thought quietly surfaced in my mind—
"Xue Xiu is truly handsome! It's a pity that the Heavenly Dao Golden List didn't give me the Crimson Beauty Elixir..."
The Heavenly List bestowed upon Hei Tong a Rebirth Pill, because she cultivated the path of death.
"Being too handsome can be a problem!" Xue Damo thought to himself, secretly pleased to see Hei Tong staring at him in a daze, but said aloud:
"This traitor's strength far surpasses ours!"
“Yes…” Black Eyes suddenly came to his senses.
Black Eyes is ranked twenty-ninth, and Snow Daruma is ranked twenty-eighth.
However, King Jing ranked twenty-seventh!
What's even more terrifying is that this was still the state in which he was injured by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen years ago and had not yet fully recovered.
"Does this mean we have no choice but to ask the Demon Lord to personally deal with this traitor?"
Black Eyes was filled with resentment.
The person she was most grateful to in her life was the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, and the King's betrayal was intolerable to her.
The disparity in strength is indeed disheartening.
Xuedamo smiled easily, his tone completely relaxed:
"We have two choices: either rapidly increase our strength, or find them to cooperate with us in order to fight against King Jing!"
Who should we collaborate with?
"The Azure Dragon Society!"
292 - Flying Tiger Escort Agency!
The Han Dynasty was once a powerful dynasty that could rival the Qin, Yuan, and Tang dynasties.
The Song, Sui, Ming, and Qing dynasties were slightly inferior.
At its peak, the Han Dynasty could coexist peacefully with the Qin Dynasty in the west and resist the Yuan Dynasty in the north, enjoying boundless glory.
But the principle that prosperity inevitably leads to decline is eternal.
After the death of the previous emperor, the Han Dynasty collapsed suddenly.
Local warlords declared themselves independent and vied for the Han imperial power.
Ximen Yu had long foreseen the internal strife in the Han Dynasty and secretly made arrangements.
Behind every powerful local lord, there is the shadow of the Azure Dragon Society.
Ultimately, the Azure Dragon Society supported Emperor Xian of Han to ascend the throne, appointing Zhao Yun as commander and Pang Tong as prime minister, thus unifying the Han Dynasty.
Years of war severely weakened the Han Dynasty.
The nation's strength was declining rapidly, and everything was in need of rebuilding.
But then came news that Zhang Jiao, the Heavenly Lord who had launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion, had been resurrected.
He once again called on the people to resist the rule of the imperial court.
The people responded enthusiastically, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out again in most of the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Xian issued an edict ordering generals such as Zhao Yun and Lü Bu to lead troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The Han Dynasty was plunged into chaos once again.
This day marked the day when Lü Tengkong, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, the number one镖局 (escort agency) in the Han Dynasty, retired from his life of escorting.
Representatives from various security escort agencies and righteous martial arts sects came to offer their congratulations.
Lu Tengkong warmly received them and hosted a banquet in their honor.
After a full day of feasting, the handwashing ceremony finally began.
Just as Lü Tengkong was about to dip his hands into the golden basin, several groups of people suddenly arrived outside the escort agency.
"The Fiery Ancestor of the Fiery Palace has come to offer his congratulations."
