After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Yaojin turned to Li Jing and said, "The thing suppressed under the Wild Goose Pagoda is of great importance and cannot be lost. I have to go there immediately. Can I trouble you to detain the Golden-winged Roc and Hua Shiniang first?"
Hearing this, Li Jing nodded after a moment of hesitation.
A look of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Green-haired Lion King. He had agreed to detain his third brother under the Wild Goose Pagoda, which was already a great humiliation to Lion Camel Ridge. Now, he had to be detained by Li Jing with the Exquisite Pagoda, which was tantamount to humiliating them again.
He could not help but clench his fists a little, but in the end, he slowly loosened them and said nothing.
However, at this moment, Cheng Yaojin did not care about his feelings. He silently transmitted a message to Zen Master Kongdu and Fairy Blue Lotus, asking them to take care of this place. He did not believe in the cultivators of the Demon Clan and Demons.
If it were not for the urgent situation at the Wild Goose Pagoda, he would not be willing to leave here.
Li Jing raised his hand and waved. The Exquisite Pagoda in his hand immediately shone with golden light and gradually expanded hundreds of times, turning into a transparent pagoda standing in front of him.
"Please." He glanced at the Golden-winged Roc and Hua Shiniang and said.
The Golden-winged Roc and Hua Shiniang did not say anything, but silently walked into the golden pagoda.
Then, Li Jing raised his hand and the Exquisite Pagoda returned to its original state and flew back to his hand.
"Fellow Taoist Cheng, do you really not need our help?" Li Jing frowned and could not help but ask.
"Thank you, but not for the time being. We can still control it." Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said.
If they could not suppress it in Chang 'an City and needed help from the outside world, where would the Tang Empire's government put their face?
Then, a golden light rose from the ground and Cheng Yaojin's figure had turned into a rainbow and left, leaving the people in the square looking at each other, somewhat at a loss.
Shen Luo had been listening to the movements outside and found that the roars and roars of the demons had not stopped, and there was a trend of gradually increasing. However, the initial cries and wails of the people had lessened a lot.
Instead, from time to time, the sound of orders and the explosion of fierce fighting could be heard.
Hearing this, he felt a little relieved. The Tang government's control over Chang 'an was quite effective.
However, Shen Luo was also very confused. Why did these evil spirits appear in Chang 'an City and not at any other time? Why did they appear on the day of the conference?
Could it be that they wanted to intensify the conflict and cause the Harmony Conference to fail, thus tearing apart the peaceful situation on the surface?
In that case, wouldn't that be the same as his goal?
The more Shen Luo thought about it, the more confused he became.
At this moment, Li Jing suddenly walked towards him with large strides. His vigorous aura was rather shocking.
However, Shen Luo wasn't afraid. As if he hadn't noticed, he still stood there with his arms crossed, pondering the doubts in his heart.
"Shen Daoyou." Li Jing came in front of him and spoke first.
Hearing this, Shen Luo looked at him and frowned unconsciously.
Originally, Shen Luo had a good impression and respect of this powerful figure who had entrusted the Exquisite Pagoda and the remnant of the Heavenly Book to him in the future dream. However, after the incident at Mount Fangcun this time, his opinion had changed a lot.
"What advice does Heavenly King Li have for me?" Shen Luo asked.
Hearing this, Li Jing obviously heard the dissatisfaction in his tone and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards me," Li Jing said.
Shen Luo was silent. He neither confirmed nor denied it.
"It doesn't matter if you have resentment. I don't care what you think. As long as it's beneficial to the stability of the Three Realms, I will do it. I don't care what the outside world thinks of me," Li Jing said to himself.
"You used the demons to suppress Mount Fangcun and almost caused them to reopen the Well of the Demons and Gods. You call this for the stability of the Three Realms?" Shen Luo couldn't help but refute.
"What do you think the stability of the Three Realms depends on? Did he rely on balance? No, it depends on checks and balances. It's not a good thing for either side to be in a dominant position. Moreover, do you think that the Heavenly Palace is the only one who allows the demons to suppress Mount Fangcun? "Li Jing retorted.
"Senior, you don't have to use the excuse of being forced to explain to a junior like me. It doesn't make sense and there's no need to." Shen Luo laughed coldly and shook his head.
Li Jing was about to say something. Just as he opened his mouth, his expression suddenly froze. He raised his hand and struck down at the deep pit in the middle of the training ground.
A beam of golden light shot out from his palm and turned into a huge golden vertical palm. It struck down like the blade of a knife and fell straight into the deep pit.
Shen Luo also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly looked over.
At the place where the golden palm landed, a layer of pink light swelled up and exploded with a loud bang.
The golden palm was instantly scattered by this light and disappeared into the void.
Immediately after, extremely thick greenish-black vines continuously emerged from the ground, surging towards the ground in all directions as if they were alive. Countless roots quickly emerged from the vines, completely ignoring the hard stone slabs on the ground, piercing them one after another and probing into the ground.
Shen Luo and the others immediately felt the ground shaking violently. The ground once again rippled like water.
However, this kind of shaking did not last for long. The entire square collapsed with a series of shocking cracks. Amidst a series of rumbling sounds, almost the entire square collapsed.
The elders of the various sects in the training ground all rose and hovered in mid-air.
The ground collapsed, forming a huge deep pit. Countless roots surged in the dark abyss. Accompanied by a layer of pink fog, a huge shadow slowly rose from below.
Shen Luo's eyes flashed with golden light. Through the pink fog, he saw that what was rising from the shadow was an extremely huge pink peach tree with blooming flowers.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard.
The pink peach tree that had risen from the ground had finally emerged from the ground. Its intertwined roots had already covered the entire plaza, covering the entire ground. The crowd did not know what was going on, so none of them dared to land on the ground.
The tree was dozens of feet thick and hundreds of feet tall. Its huge canopy spread out and covered the entire Tang Government Mansion. It was full of lively peach blossoms. The petals danced in the wind and drifted to every corner of Chang 'an City.
"Tao Yaoyao …" Li Jing frowned and whispered.
Shen Luo heard this name and felt it was somewhat familiar. However, he couldn't remember what it was.
"Tao Yaoyao, didn't you say you wouldn't participate in the dispute of the three realms? What are you doing?" At this time, another shout was heard.
Shen Luo looked towards the source of the voice and discovered that the one who had spoken was Fairy Blue Lotus.
Her face was full of puzzlement.
"Haha, Sister Blue Lotus, I'm really sorry this time. I can only blame myself for owing him a huge favor. I have no choice but to help him this time." A string of bell-like laughter came from under the pink peach tree.
Then, the figure of a young girl in a pink dress emerged from under the tree.
Her cheeks were quite round and she looked very young. Her eyes were as deep as a well and there was a sweet smile on her face. Her two braids were combed to the sides and she looked innocently at Fairy Blue Lotus.
Shen Luo's eyes widened as he subconsciously looked at Hu Bugui, who was not far away, only to find that the latter seemed to be shocked as well. He took off the wine pot from his waist, intending to take a gulp to calm himself down.
There was no other reason. As long as the young girl in front of him changed into a dress and an apron, she would look exactly like a young girl drinking wine.
