Chapter 37: Chapter 24 Yu Linglong_1
Ji Changsheng was unaware at this moment that the powerful Fairy Linglong he had in mind had already appeared.
He was currently giving a speech on justice with all his heart and soul.
As someone of humble origin with no significant family background, he was capable of exposing the Bai Family's scheme, defeating heir, and making a reasoned case in the main peak hall. He represented more than just himself.
His actions were not just about venting his personal grievances.
The dazzling fireworks all over the Mystic Temple indicated how many people were focusing on the outcome of Ji Changsheng's situation tonight.
Now, Ji Changsheng had successfully walked out of the main peak hall.
Many disciples of similar humble origins saw it as a sign of hope.
"Fellow disciples, I know that many positions in this world are like diseases, only spreading through mother-infant relations, blood, and marital relations. But my walk out here today as Ji Changsheng proves that the sky of the Mystic Temple is not completely dark. Under the leadership of the Master, I have faith that the Mystic Temple will have a bright future!"
Li Changxi was still in the hall at this moment, so no one was amplifying Ji Changsheng's voice.
It didn't matter.
Ji Changsheng managed to be heard, regaled, and well-fed on his own.
What a great flattery.
He intended to let the Master hear it.
And for everyone to hear.
Meanwhile, it helped him gather more reputation.
Perfect!
Sure enough.
Once Ji Changsheng's voice echoed across the four corners, the fireworks within the Mystic Temple became even more splendid.
The bright lights, as if in daytime.
They highlighted the sky above the Mystic Temple, sweeping away darkness and welcoming light.
At this moment.
The main peak hall.
A soft "hmm" was heard from the Jade Sword.
The Master wished he were dead.
Ji Changsheng flattering the Master made the Master very pleased.
But flattering the current Master in front of the former Master, Fairy Linglong, was something the Master didn't like.
Or rather, he didn't dare to like.
This could cost him his life.
The Master quickly explained, "Senior sister, the disciple under me was a bit impulsive, I will handle it right away."
"No need, come to me."
The voice from the Jade Sword descended, the Master turned pale.
The others displayed various expressions.
But no one, no matter who, dared to resist the order from the Jade Sword.
Because the person represented by the Jade Sword was the strongest in this world - Yu Linglong!
The title of the world's number one held countless defiant bones behind it!
And the strong ones still living in this world had already lowered their proud heads.
In short, they had been subjugated.
...
"Changsheng, you're really impressive."
When the disciples who had welcomed Ji Changsheng dispersed, Ying Hongye and Li Daoyan came to Ji Changsheng."
Both of them had not tried to steal the limelight just then. Not even Li Daoyan had asked Ji Changsheng more than a concerned question, and Ying Hongye had stayed silent all along.
It wasn't appropriate for them to speak out.
Ji Changsheng at that moment represented the common disciples of the Mystic Temple.
However, in reality, Ying Hongye and Li Daoyan were in the same camp as Bai Guanlin.
But the families behind them apparently didn't get along well, holding significant grudges against each other, so the two had ended up siding with Ji Changsheng.
Now it was Ying Hongye who was speaking.
Not many people in the Mystic Temple knew the truth right now, and Ying Hongye was considered one of the most shocked.
That was because all of Bai Guanlin's followers had been investigating with her help.
Of course, Ying Hongye would keep this secret.
Ji Changsheng expressed his gratitude again, "Thanks to Hongye's help, this time I probably got you involved."
Every action leaves its mark.
Ying Hongye had helped him investigate those people's information, this matter was certainly investigating further.
Ying Hongye didn't mind at all, laughing lightly, "Changsheng, you're too polite. I certainly won this time."
"Huh?"
Ji Changsheng thought he had won.
How did Ying Hongye win?
Li Daoyan explained, "She's not wrong, the deep-seated blood feud between the Ying Family and the Bai Family is much stronger than yours with the Bai Family. As long as it causes trouble for the Bai Family, the Ying Family will spare no effort. Ying Hongye helping you deal with Bai Guanlin, would get her even more support from the Ying Family."
Ji Changsheng suddenly realized, then curiously asked, "Deep-seated blood feud? Can't it be resolved?"
Ying Hongye's voice turned cold, "The vengeance of a father's murder, the grudge of a country's destruction, I won't rest until I die."
Ji Changsheng blinked.
"It seems I have a lot in common with the Ying Family."
Ji Changsheng did not think the Bai Family would let him go.
For self-defense, Ji Changsheng certainly could not sit back and await his doom.
After taking out Bai Guanlin, he still had to take the initiative.
All of this was forced on him by the Bai Family.
Ying Hongye welcomed Ji Changsheng warmly, "If you're determined to be enemies with the Bai Family, you're our guest of honor."
"Changsheng, don't listen to her. This woman is a schemer." Li Daoyan grumbled; "The Bai Family isn't that easy to deal with."
Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrow, "Is it that difficult? I don't feel like it."
Li Daoyan: "… This time it was Bai Guanlin who was too stupid. He even staged such a poor drama himself, giving you a handle. Even so, Bai Guanlin is not necessarily doomed. You might become the scapegoat."
"How is that possible?"
Ji Changsheng scoffed at Li Daoyan's judgment.
The cheap nephew still thought he was innocent until now.
It shows that there's no need to trust his judgment.
Ji Changsheng kept his cool.
...
The back mountain of the Mystic Temple.
The energy of heaven and earth filled the area, and there stood a magnificent pagoda that reached the clouds.
This was the true form of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda in the Mystic Temple.
The Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda had nine levels.
The Master went up to the eighth level and stopped at the entrance of the ninth-level tower.
He couldn't go to the ninth level.
Because that was where Fairy Linglong was cultivating in seclusion.
"Senior sister, I'm here."
The voice of Fairy Linglong came down from the ninth level, "Bai Guanlin crushed the token I left for him, claiming to have been framed and slandered by you and a young disciple. What is going on?"
Without any hesitation, the Master explained everything truthfully without any omissions.
Even when he was forging the agarwood paper and transforming ink to frame Bai Guanlin, the Master was truthful.
After listening to the Master's explanation, Fairy Linglong fell silent for a moment, then said, "So, the Bai Family has been innocent from the beginning to the end?"
The Master replied solemnly, "Not exactly, it was Bai Guanlin who provoked Ji Changsheng in the daytime. Even before that, it was the Bai Family who had malicious intentions against Ji Changsheng first. Ji Changsheng seemed to be forced to retaliate, only that his counterattack was indeed a bit too sharp, something I didn't expect."
He really didn't think about it.
Who would have known that Ji Changsheng could be so audacious?
Even Li Changxi who was a mental patient was a bit overwhelmed.
"The affairs of the younger generation can be resolved by themselves. What I'm curious about is - why does Ji Changsheng accumulate so much merit?" Fairy Linglong asked.
That was also something the Master was confused about, "This is also what I couldn't figure out. I originally thought that Changsheng was doomed, but I didn't expect that he would be able to turn the tide with the Merit Gold Lotus."
Fairy Linglong was silent for a long time, suddenly a sentence gave the Master a start, "I just had an out-of-body experience in the Immortal Realm, and found that the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole has not appeared for a long time, and it's suspected that he has fallen!"
