Chapter 123 Shifting the Blame West! A Wish Fulfilled?
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi was also furious.
"hateful!"
"These two from the Western world are truly despicable and shameless!"
"Not only did they trick Dongwanggong, they also dared to steal our spoils!"
Thinking of Jieyin and Zhunti, Donghuang Taiyi was so angry that his teeth itched.
Unfortunately, they were helpless about it.
In particular, these two were chosen by the Dao Ancestor as future sages.
Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun are not stupid either.
Unless absolutely necessary, one would naturally be unwilling to easily offend such a being.
Of course, in their hearts, the two of them already harbored resentment towards Jieyin and Zhunti.
Seeing this, Niu Ben was overjoyed.
Thinking back on his move to shift the blame westward, he realized it was a stroke of genius.
When he went to the Purple Mansion Treasury to collect treasures earlier, he happened to run into Kasyapa from the Western Realm, who was also collecting treasures.
After a brief exchange, he directly shattered Kasyapa's golden body.
The fragment with Western influence that Di Jun discovered was one that Niu Ben had deliberately placed in a prominent position.
"Actually, it's not really about making the West take the blame!"
"Kasyapa also took quite a few treasures with him."
Niu Ben muttered to himself, then composed himself and glanced at Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.
"The two of you."
"The Purple Mansion Celestial Court has been destroyed; it's time for me to return!"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi snapped out of their anger.
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
Thank you very much.
"I was originally planning to bring you to the Purple Mansion Treasury to choose a few treasures that you like."
"Who knows..."
At this point, Di Jun shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Niu Ben smiled faintly and said calmly:
"You flatter me, Demon Emperor."
"I helped because it was for the sake of my people."
Whether something is a treasure or not is not important at all.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Then, Niu Ben didn't linger and quickly left.
Watching Niu Ben's departing figure, Donghuang Taiyi glanced at him slightly and muttered to himself with suspicion:
"Brother."
"Where was Niu Ben during the previous battle with Zi Fu?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun shook his head and said:
"After the great battle began, the battlefield was in chaos. My mind was entirely focused on dealing with the Eastern King Duke; how could I possibly be distracted by anything else?"
Why are you asking this?
Donghuang Taiyi smiled faintly and said:
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
"I just feel like, surely Niu Ben must have done his part?"
Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Dijun replied:
Don't worry!
"You know about the cow tribe."
"The army of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court nearly wiped out Niu Ben's clan before; this is an irreconcilable feud."
"He will not be negligent in dealing with the Purple Mansion."
Donghuang Taiyi neither agreed nor disagreed with what Dijun said, and nodded slightly.
"That's true."
"I was overthinking things just now!"
……
at the same time.
The Western Realm, Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin and Zhunti sat facing each other, their faces beaming with smiles.
They had been plotting against the Purple Palace for a long time.
Now that my wish has finally come true, I am naturally happy.
It's important to understand that they don't genuinely want to join the Purple Mansion Celestial Court; rather, they value the beings on the continents under the Purple Mansion's jurisdiction.
Having witnessed the great battle between the demon race and the Purple Mansion, the two chose to flee without hesitation.
However, before they left, they took away countless living beings within the Purple Mansion.
Let these beings enter the Western Land, teach them the Way, and finally make them completely convert to the West.
After the great war between the Dao and the Demon, the Western world was on the verge of collapse, and countless spiritual veins were destroyed.
This is precisely why the Western Regions have become a barren land.
As leaders of the West, Jieyin and Zhunti naturally wanted to greatly promote the West.
However, the methods used are somewhat dishonorable!
However, neither of them paid any attention to it.
For them, nothing is more important than revitalizing the West.
"Now it all depends on Kasyapa."
After a moment of silence, Zhunti spoke first.
The guide nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"That's right."
"That Purple Mansion Treasury contains all sorts of treasures that the Eastern King Duke has amassed through years of extortion and plunder!"
"This is what we in the West need."
Nowadays, Jieyin and Zhunti have brought countless beings from the Purple Mansion to the Western Lands.
These creatures will eventually be brought to the West to bolster their power.
If Kasyapa can successfully bring back all the treasures from the Purple Mansion Treasury, the impact on the development of the West will be immeasurable.
"Don't worry, senior brother!"
"Kasyapa is always reliable in his work."
Zhunti said with a smile, not worried at all.
In his view, when Kasyapa went to retrieve the treasures from the Purple Mansion Treasury, it was during the height of the battle between the demon race and the Purple Mansion.
With the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal like Kasyapa, bringing back everything from the Purple Mansion Treasure Vault shouldn't be a problem.
Jieyin smiled slightly, just about to say something.
Just then, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a disheveled figure appeared.
The one who suddenly appeared was none other than Kasyapa!
At this moment, Kasyapa looked extremely weak, his face was deathly pale, and there was a trace of golden blood at the corner of his mouth.
In particular, the fact that his golden body was broken by Niu Ben's punch caused him to suffer a severe injury.
"this?"
"What's going on?"
Seeing Kasyapa's disheveled appearance, both Jieyin and Zhunti were startled.
Especially for Zhunti, a sense of unease arose inexplicably from the depths of his heart.
After a moment's hesitation, Zhunti quickly demanded:
"Kasyapa!"
"What...what happened to you?"
Upon hearing this, Kasyapa gasped for breath, ignoring the pain and injury on his body, and hurriedly said:
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
At this point, Kasyapa's expression showed obvious pain, and his breathing became weak and unstable, appearing disordered.
Upon hearing this, both Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions turned somewhat grim.
Then, Kasyapa didn't delay and recounted his encounter with Niu Ben when he was collecting treasures in the Purple Mansion Treasury.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti was so angry that his face turned red and he roared:
"hateful!"
"Who on earth dares to steal my opportunity in the West?"
Zhunti's face was cold and stern.
Just now, he was telling the guide to rest assured.
Who knew that such bad news would arrive at this time?
"Master, I have memorized that person's appearance."
As he spoke, Kasyapa, enduring the pain in his body, waved his hand lightly.
Then, a figure slowly emerged from the sky not far away. Who else could it be but Niu Ben?
"what?"
"It was actually this kid!"
Zhunti exclaimed in surprise, puffing out his cheeks, and recognized Niu Ben at a glance.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, the guide frowned slightly and uttered a soft question:
"What's wrong, junior brother?"
"Do you perhaps know this person?"
Zhunti nodded, his face filled with hatred, and said:
"It's more than just knowing each other?"
"Senior brother, this child is the Supreme Being's mount."
"Back when I was wandering the primordial world in my original, fragmented form, this kid extorted money from me once!"
"I never expected that he would ruin our big plan again!"
