"Hmph!" Song Zhong snorted. "Blood River Patriarch is a sly old fox. His strength is not particularly high. His disputes with the Heavenly Court are usually small skirmishes. This time, he did not hesitate to go to war. Not only did he offend the Heavenly Court, but he also offended me, his son-in-law, and the Chaos Giant Spirit Tribe behind me! Do you think Blood River Patriarch would do such an unwise thing? "
"Hmm?" Taibai Jinxing immediately furrowed his brows and said, "Now that you've mentioned it, I'm beginning to suspect as well. Don't tell me that there's more to this?"
"Hmph!" SongZhong sneered, "Ancestor Blood River lives in the Asura World all year round, soaking in the Blood Sea. While he covets the Celestial World and has sent some spies, under the strict suppression of the Heavenly Court, the Asura World does not have many spies in the Celestial World and can only transmit some superficial news!
"But this time!" SongZhong sneered, "They were able to find Fairy Ling Long and her husband in an instant. The entire operation was swift and without any hesitation. To be able to kidnap an important figure in the Heavenly Court so easily, it is obvious that this is the arrangement of a large power who knows the Celestial World well. With Blood River Patriarch's influence in the Immortal Realm, he would not be able to do such a thing! "
Taibai Jinxing frowned and said, "Indeed, it's really too difficult for Patriarch Blood River to accomplish this. On the other hand, the Buddha Realm can be said to have infiltrated our Heavenly Court without fail. The forces they've hidden within our Heavenly Court are very powerful, so they can easily accomplish this!"
"That's right!" SongZhong said, "To be able to do something like this, it can only be the Buddha World! Therefore, I think that the Buddhist World is the real mastermind, and Blood River Patriarch is just a shield. "
"Sigh, even so!" Taibai Jinxing sighed. "I also hope that you can pretend that you don't know. Now that the Heavenly Court is in a precarious situation, it is not the right time to go to war with the Buddhist World!"
"Hmph!" Song Zhong coldly snorted and said, "I understand. This time, I only want to bring the three madams back safely. I don't care about anything else. However, I will remember this debt in my heart. One day, I will make those bald donkeys suffer the consequences of their own actions! "
"That's great!" Taibai Jinxing then said, "I wonder how you plan to bring the three madams back? This matter was not easy to handle. Are you really going to give them the Candle Dragon Lantern? "
"Hmph, in their dreams!" Song Zhong sneered and said, "I'll let the idiots of the Buddha World know that the meat in my mouth isn't so delicious!"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing's eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly asked, "Then do you already have a plan?"
"That's right ~" Song Zhong nodded and said, "I already have a preliminary plan. However, before that, I'm afraid I have to meet the Jade Emperor and discuss the details of the implementation!"
"That's not a problem at all!" Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said, "Actually, I'm here on the Jade Emperor's orders to invite you to meet him!"
"That's good!" Song Zhong nodded and waved his hand, releasing Xuan Tian Celestial Venerable. He then invited Taibai Jinxing to board the ship and left with everyone.
Seeing Song Zhong's huge fleet leaving, Xuan Tian Venerable Celestial finally felt relieved. He couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and then smiled bitterly. "This is over! He had almost lost his life! No, I have to go back and restrain my disciples. If this happens again, even if I don't get beaten to death, I will be scared to death first! "
Thinking of this, the Profound Heaven Celestial Venerable hurried back to the mountain to educate his disciples.
While Song Zhong was busy looking for people to save his wife, the entire Immortal World was in an uproar because of this big event.
What kind of person is Song Zhong? He was a hero who had defeated the Demon Race and the Extraterrestrial Demons. His wife had been captured in the hinterland controlled by the Heavenly Court. This was simply unreasonable!
Song Zhong's behavior after that had greatly stimulated many Immortals who had nothing to do. The successive killings, especially the annihilation of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect, made the world know that when Song Zhong was angry, it was not that fun.
As the matter went deeper, the person who jumped out in the end was Blood River Patriarch, which made the matter even more dramatic!
The father-in-law had kidnapped his son-in-law's wife and blackmailed him. What was this?
Everyone guessed that Song Zhong would immediately capture Blood River Patriarch's daughter, his wife, Xiu Luoxue, and threaten Blood River Patriarch in return.
Of course, such a thing did not happen in the end. Song Zhong was a sensible person. He knew very well that Xiu Luoxue was on his side and this matter had nothing to do with her. Therefore, he did not vent his anger on her.
However, Song Zhong also rejected Xiu Luoxue's request to mediate. Song Zhong did not want her to participate in this matter. Firstly, he did not want Xiu Luoxue to be in a difficult position. Secondly, Song Zhong was determined to teach his father-in-law a lesson. Of course, he would not let Xiu Luoxue ruin it.
Xiu Luoxue was also very helpless. On one side was her husband, and on the other side was her father. This made her very difficult. And this time, it was obvious that her father was in the wrong. This made her feel very sorry for Song Zhong. She wanted to help resolve the matter, but was sternly rejected by Song Zhong. This made Xiu Luoxue feel that she was in a difficult position. In her anger, she simply went into seclusion at home and did not care about their matters anymore.
And this just happened to be what Song Zhong wanted. After settling Xiu Luoxue, Song Zhong fully entered into the state. He worked together in the Immortal World and really created a lot of momentum.
Benefiting from Song Zhong's great achievements, the five celestial emperors all expressed their support for him. Song Zhong's constant sales of materials over the years had made him a very influential magnate in the world of immortals. Many factions needed his help.
Now that Song Zhong was in trouble, they naturally couldn't sit idly by and do nothing. They all stepped forward to help. They did their best to gather information for Song Zhong and arrange all kinds of matters.
Originally, those of the world of immortals had thought that Song Zhong would never trade the torch dragon lamp for the lives of his three mortal wives.
One reason was that the torch dragon lamp was too valuable. Although it was only a connate holy weapon, its uses were not the least bit inferior to a supreme divine weapon. In some aspects, it even surpassed them.
The torch dragon lamp's fire and water sources were just too powerful. Not only was it incomparably powerful in battle, it was also very useful in refining treasures and pills.
When used to refine treasures, the innate fire essence could greatly improve their quality, especially when refining connate supreme treasures. Song Zhong was only a Chaos Golden Immortal now, but he could already use the torch dragon lamp to refine connate supreme treasures. This was all thanks to the innate fire essence.
On the other hand, the innate water essence was suitable for refining pills. It could increase the success rate of refining high-grade pills and greatly improve their quality.
Although this was nothing in the eyes of top experts, it was of great help to Chaos Golden Immortals and those below them.
A major faction with it could refine better immortal weapons and even connate supreme treasures. There would also be an endless supply of high-grade immortal pills. This played an extremely important role in strengthening the entire faction.
Thus, if the Candle Dragon Lamp were to be used as a support item, it would be comparable to a Supreme Divine Artifact. This was also the reason why SongZhong was able to nurture so many powerful subordinates in such a short period of time.
Who wouldn't covet such a good item? Who would use such a precious treasure in exchange for the safety of three mortal women? Therefore, almost no one believed that Song Zhong would compromise with Patriarch Blood River.
However, the Heavenly Court's subsequent actions caused everyone's jaws to drop.
First, the Heavenly Court announced the withdrawal of the troops. They called back all the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in the three great worlds that bordered the blood river. Then, he announced the migration of the immortals inside to other places.
Without the protection of the celestial soldiers and celestial generals, how could those scattered forces survive under the threat of Patriarch Blood River?
In order not to become the sacrifices of the Asura army, the immortals of the three major worlds had no choice but to leave their hometowns. Many forces had no choice but to give up their bases that they had been operating for many years. They were so angry that they kept cursing the Heaven for being incompetent.
Even many of the heavenly soldiers and generals who had retreated had complaints. They couldn't understand why they had to give up such a large piece of land for nothing. Were Song Zhong's three wives really that valuable?
Driven by this enormous resentment, many people of virtue and prestige were elected to protest against the Heavenly Court. They thought that with so many persuasion and their prestige, the Heavenly Court would easily change its mind.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Heavenly Court's attitude was unusually firm this time. No matter what those people said, the representative of the Heavenly Court, Taibai Jinxing, unswervingly insisted on the Heavenly Court's decision. In short, he ignored them all.
Among the elected representatives, there were indeed a few important figures whose statuses were on par with Taibai Jinxing's. Yet, they didn't give the old man any face. Angry, they decided to go to the Jade Emperor Heaven and seek the Jade Emperor's judgment.
Although the Jade Emperor received them politely, he didn't change anything in the end. He only evaded the responsibility by saying that it was a joint decision of the five celestial emperors. He couldn't deny it alone unless the other celestial emperors agreed as well.
Those people weren't fools. When they heard the Jade Emperor's words, they immediately realized that something was amiss. The five celestial emperors had always been smiling with daggers hidden behind their smiles. On the surface, they appeared to be harmonious, but in the dark, they were constantly vile. When had they suddenly become so united? There was probably something fishy going on here! (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com.
