88. A win-win situation
"Commander, if I may be so bold as to ask, what impact would it have on the Demon Realm if the rift between the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm were not repaired?"
"Sage Su, if the Glazed Immortal Realm collapses, you might not need to worry about it, but what if Qu Shitu and Su Xuyuan are trapped inside?"
"This... I'm sorry, it was my oversight."
"You're just trying to get the best possible outcome. Su Xianren, I hope you'll keep this a secret for now, but I think the news will spread very soon."
Upon hearing this, Su Huanzhen was slightly puzzled. "Has the War Commander informed anyone else about this?"
"Heh, he's a very interesting person. You'd be quite surprised if I told you, Su Xianren, but deep down, you probably wouldn't find it too unexpected."
Su Huanzhen was slightly taken aback. "I'm a little confused."
"That was someone everyone thought was no longer alive."
Su Huanzhen was startled again, then realized, "General Zhan, are you perhaps referring to Gui Liang Tianxia?"
"Indeed, Su Xianren, you were attacked by assassins in the corner of the world, weren't you? Those were sent by Gui Liang Tianxia, and at that time your internal energy was sealed, but you used some secret method to condense an avatar? Then you used that avatar to kill Furong Gu, steal the Sharp Sense Tassel, and even kill my subordinate Wen Zhongzi?"
"Huh? This, I used my transformed form to repel the assassin, but... ah, it was Gui Liang Tianxia who used this story to deceive the War Commander, intending to cover it up."
"Ha, I thought he was just there to make fun of me."
Su Huanzhen also found it strange. This explanation was not only full of loopholes, but also full of doubts... Perhaps Gui Liangtianxia still believed that Teng Xielang was an ambitious schemer and that he and Su Huanzhen were just pretending to be friends. Gui Liangtianxia could easily give Teng Xielang an excuse and he would go along with him.
Su Huanzhen couldn't help but ask, "Did Gui Liang Tianxia subsequently propose some kind of agreement to the War Commander?"
"He wanted me to take on the task of killing Tianji, and also wanted to give Tianji to you, Master Suxian, in return, he gave me the Holy Halberd and the Divine Sigh."
"I see. Gui Liang Tianxia wants both the War Commander's help and his statement."
"I'll remain silent. Sage Su, someone will try to steal the brocade pouch later. He's incredibly fast; he's likely the holder of the Heavenly Journey."
Upon hearing this, Su Huanzhen couldn't help but smile. "Ah, then I must be careful and ask him why he killed Senior Tianji."
"Of course, they're after the various secret treasures of Tianji, and also the key information Tianji possesses about the five divine artifacts."
"Hmm, that is indeed a sufficient motive for murder. Oh dear, I must keep this pouch close to my body and make sure it is not taken by the other party."
As he spoke, Su Huanzhen conjured a brocade pouch and tucked it into his bosom.
He then added, "So it was Gui Liang Tianxia who attacked the Yan Gui people before... Did the War General obtain the Holy Halberd? Is it a necessary item to mend the fault line?"
"…Sage Su, regarding this matter, could you perhaps continue to observe for a while longer? Isn't Tan Wuyu also paying attention to this matter?"
"Okay, then."
"Sage Su, even without me, someone else in the Demon Realm would have connected the rift. But with my cooperation, you can gain more control after the rift is connected. So, as you said, let's work together towards a better future, or at least the least bad one."
"I understand. I will leave this matter to Tan Wuyu for now. I will focus more on Senior Tianji and the divine artifact."
"Thank you, well then..."
after.
A crystal wonderland.
"Su Huanzhen, this humble monk is unmoved, but has come specifically to request a brocade pouch containing some heavenly secrets."
A young man with flowing, pale gold-green hair, wheat-colored skin, a black reversed Acala seed syllable on his forehead, a solemn expression, and a faint aura of malevolence emanating from him, arrived uninvited.
Su Huanzhen was prepared, but feigned surprise and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want this brocade pouch? What is your connection to the death of Senior Dian Tianji?"
"He was killed by this humble monk. The reason is that he possessed the secret of one of the Five Divine Artifacts, and that secret must be in the brocade pouch."
"You! You are the holder of the Heavenly Path, only you could ascend the Star River Ladder and kill Senior Tianji!"
"As expected of the wisest man in the Central Plains, then don't do anything unwise and hand over the secret bag."
"Please forgive me for refusing, but I would never aid and abet evil."
"Let me give you one last piece of advice: the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore; if you don't turn back, your neck will break."
"Your Excellency need not waste your efforts. Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. I also advise Your Excellency not to be so stubborn."
"Then it's up to each of us to rely on our own abilities."
Before this immovable evil monk had even finished speaking, his body was already bursting with evil energy, and the shadow of a skeletal evil Buddha appeared behind him!
"Demons and monsters!"
Without moving, he let out a deep shout, and the evil Buddha behind him became clearer, with countless wronged souls bound to it. With a push of the evil Buddha's withered palm, the wronged souls immediately gathered into an evil stream, rushing straight towards Su Huanzhen!
"The Great Brahma Palm!"
Upon seeing this, Su Huanzhen immediately used a sacred Buddhist technique, sending a golden palm print straight towards the evil stream. The collision of the sacred and the evil unleashed an incredibly terrifying impact, not only blasting both of them away but also directly blasting the Glazed Immortal Realm apart!
Seeing this, the evil monk couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart. "Hey, Su Huanzhen, your house exploded again... Wait, that's not the point. Is the Great Brahma Palm your move?" "What? You say you have ten thousand books in your mind, and you not only know the Great Brahma Palm, but you can also move mountains and rivers with one breath?" "Never mind then."
The two were each sent flying backwards for several dozen feet. The demonic monk was incredibly powerful. His figure suddenly stopped in mid-air and then burst out with an almost absurd speed!
He appeared in front of Su Huanzhen in an instant, as if by teleportation, and his arms suddenly exploded like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin!
"A Thousand Buddha Hands in a Chaotic Display!"
Bang bang bang...!
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of blows, a dazzling display of skill. Su Huanzhen made a careless mistake and was caught off guard by the evil monk, who rushed into his center and pressed a palm against his chest!
Bang!
Su Huanzhen was violently slapped away, his lips already stained with blood.
The evil monk, however, now held a brocade pouch in his hand and laughed loudly, "The so-called 'pure white lotus' is nothing special!"
"Don't leave!"
Before the evil monk finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared. Su Huanzhen shouted "Stop!" and hurriedly gave chase, but he was ultimately affected by his injuries and could not catch up with him, allowing the evil monk to leave unscathed.
after.
Just as news spread through the martial arts world that a wicked monk with the Buddhist name Bu Dong had killed Dian Tianji and stolen the secret of the divine artifact that Dian Tianji possessed.
Another world of demons.
Gui Liang Tianxia took the brocade pouch thrown by Teng Xie and couldn't help but say, "General Zhan's strategy is truly amazing."
"Your Highness is too kind. I racked my brains to come up with this perfect solution."
Gui Liang Tianxia cursed the little fox under his breath, then said, "I wonder what kind of divine artifact secret Dian Tianji has grasped?"
Teng Xie spread his hands, "Lord, I'm not interested in celestial secrets, and I'm not interested in divine artifacts anymore."
