Stay in seclusion and cultivate, temporarily avoiding the sharp edges.
Chu Chen frowned slightly.
As the first person to kill Li Tianzi Temple, Li Tian Shifang Jungle hated him deeply.
When he slashed away the Heavenly Witch God's true spirit clone with his sword, the opponent did not fight back, but tried his best to resist. In the process, Chu Chen's Qi was locked with a secret method.
With Litian Witch God's unyielding character, after the heroic sacrifice of the White Deer Immortal, Litian Witch God's second target of revenge is undoubtedly him, and he cannot even hide away.
However, it is not that he has no chance to protect himself.
The curse of the law of disgust can kill people invisible, and the method is mysterious. Among the same level, if there is no magic weapon to restrain the curse and the power of disgust, they will suffer a big loss. Killing people thousands of miles away without being visible is extremely terrifying.
However, no magical power is invincible.
Not to mention the price the Witch God Li Tian would pay for using his secret method to curse and kill the third-level magical power.
This kind of magical power and secret method will definitely not be able to be used continuously for a while.
This gave Chu Chen room to turn around.
Just as the White Deer Immortal suggested, he could completely practice in seclusion.
Go to the Paradise of Cave Heaven in the Immortal Court of Heaven, or Chu Chen's own [Qingchen Cave Heaven], or the [Diyuan Cave Heaven] at his father-in-law's house, or even go to the underworld to take refuge and hide from him for a few years.
The Litian Witch God has not yet achieved enlightenment and has limited magical powers. As long as he escapes from this world in advance without leaking any of his energy, he cannot be locked in. Even if the other party wants to retaliate, there will be nothing he can do.
After careful consideration, Chu Chen can completely avoid this difficulty and escape in time.
only
Chu Chen couldn't help but hesitate:
"Great Elder Chongxu, what Xianting means is"
Taoist Chongxu: "I have just discussed with fellow Taoist Gu Dao, Taoist Yuxu and other great elders, and quite agree with Taoist Bailu's suggestion to postpone the Lizhou offensive, accumulate strength, and plan for it slowly."
Chu Chen was a little surprised.
As one of the nine great elders of the Immortal Court, Taoist Chongxu has a transcendent status. He conveys the decision of the great elder of the Immortal Court, which basically represents the attitude of the Immortal Court and even the Celestial Empire.
Tianshi Gutong Zhenren also compromised and regressed.
In fact, the two factions, Jade Emperor and Ziwei, are highly unified in their overall goals. The struggle between the two factions is often over the choice of "route", and each has its own opinion.
Whichever route you take, and you succeed in the end, you will be able to share the majority of the victory and get more opportunities to become gods. This is the essence of the struggle between the two factions.
For example, this time around the governance of Lizhou, the attitudes of the Jade Emperor and Ziwei factions were extremely different.
The Ziwei Sect believes that the governance of Lizhou needs to be carefully planned, and wait until Bailu Xianweng, Chu Chen, Master Huixin and other upper-third-level magical powers who have the magical power to resist the curse of disgusting laws to rise to the second-level, and then start to govern Lizhou with full confidence.
The Jade Emperor faction is more radical, believing that the delay in governing Lizhou has not only hindered the expansion of territory in the southwestern frontier, but also has led to the danger of raising tigers as the Litian Witch God grows bigger.
Not only is the governance of Lizhou in trouble, but the wind of blood sacrifice has spread to the surrounding areas, threatening other states and counties and completely shaking the governance of the eight southwest states.
It is urgent to exterminate the evil witches in Lizhou and control the trend of blood sacrifice.
Discussing the matter, the two factions Ziwei and Yuhuang each hold their own opinions. There is nothing wrong with their starting point and considerations. They are all strategies for the country, not meaningless party disputes.
Because of this, after the Jade Emperor Sect launched the "White Deer Immortal" and showed its strength and determination to suppress witches, Mr. Mingjing and Master Yuxu did not hinder it.
Even though Chu Chen, who came from the Ziwei faction, came to the aid of the White Deer Immortal, Mr. Mingjing and Master Yuxu did not find Chu Chen in private, which was regarded as acquiescence in his decision-making.
After all, the White Deer Immortal can really exterminate evil witches and wipe out the "wind of blood sacrifice". This is a great benefit to the Celestial Court. The Jade Emperor Sect takes the majority, but later the Ziwei Sect transferred Chu Chen, Qingzhu Jushi and other Zi The micro sect's high skill can also get a share of the pie when the time comes, and both parties will benefit and everyone will be happy.
This can be regarded as mutual compromise and cooperation among the inner circle of Tianchao Xianting.
However, the "Death of the White Deer Immortal" caught the Celestial Court off guard, and even the Jade Emperor Sect, which advocated "radical action" and used thunderous methods, was completely dumbfounded.
When there is no certainty or a sure-fire strategy, Tianchao Xianting may not plan to take radical risks and return to a safe route.
In other words, the witch-hunting war that had raged for two years has come to an end.
"Great Elder Chongxu, how can our Heavenly Court Immortal retreat? If we retreat, not only will our efforts in the past two years be wasted, but it will also be difficult for Lizhou to seek revenge from the Litian group of witches."
Chu Chen looked embarrassed and hesitant.
Calling it a "truce" is a nice way of saying it.
In fact, at this stage, "I have suffered a defeat, and in order to stop the loss in time, I have no choice but to turn the ship around."
In the past two years, Litian Shifang Jungle has been raided by the Celestial Court, causing heavy losses. The two sides have deep grudges, and the subsequent retaliation will definitely be extremely violent.
In addition, the reason why Li Tian Witch God was able to make a comeback this time was because he received the funding from the Demon Court, and he must have promised the Demon Court conditions afterwards. No matter what Li Tian Witch God thought in his heart, the Demon Court would support him and let him become The vanguard of the anti-Dachang movement, the pioneering army.
He had no choice at all.
It is not that simple for the Dachang Dynasty to "cease the war", and things cannot get better at all.
Chu Chen, who has a high level of Taoist cultivation and has a big backer, can still have the means to deal with the revenge of the Litian Witch God, but the living beings in Lizhou and its surroundings...
The jungles from all directions in Litian are sweeping in, and Lizhou is bound to cause a bloody storm.
Yi Zi worshiped him, his flesh and blood were killed, and all parties fought against each other.
Lizhou will return to that demonic realm where there are no humans, no ghosts, and even worse than before.
After this battle, the Celestial Immortal Court's control in the Lizhou area may fall off a cliff, which will have a considerable impact on the governance of the eight southwest states.
"Hey~ there's nothing we can do about it!"
Taoist Chongxu shook his head. He naturally knew the consequences and the losses were immeasurable.
"The Litian Witch God's natal witchcraft treasures and magical powers are probably even further advanced. Without second-level cultivation, he has superior magical powers and magic weapons that can repel disgust. It is simply difficult to resist him. If he continues to fight, the losses will be even greater. Qingshan is left behind. , not afraid of running out of firewood."
"this"
Chu Chen's face was full of unwillingness.
Speaking of which, his time was precious, so it was easy to find a place to retreat, but he couldn't go out to search for "Wang Gu". No matter how good his cultivation talent was, the improvement of his magic power was still limited, and he didn't want to waste his time.
In addition to delaying his practice, the most important thing is that he does not want to be a "deserter" and cannot bear to see the lives of Lizhou in ruins.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't have the power to fight back, he still has the power to fight.
"Great Elder Chongxu, it's too early to admit defeat at the moment. No matter how powerful Litian Witch God's disgusting spell is, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it continuously. We can still take advantage of the gap to search the temple. Even if he retaliates afterwards, I'm still capable of dealing with it. , fight with him."
When Chu Chen said this, he hesitated and looked firmly:
"To tell you the truth, I have a magic weapon that can save lives and eliminate disasters. Even if the battle fails, I can still protect myself. I ask the Great Elder to help me!"
"Do you have a treasure that can save your life and eliminate disasters?"
Taoist Chongxu was a little surprised at first, but when he remembered that Chu Chen was the son-in-law of Diyuan Dragon Palace, he immediately had no doubts.
Taoist Chongxu was a little surprised at first, but when he remembered that Chu Chen was the son-in-law of Diyuan Dragon Palace, he immediately had no doubts.
Of course, if you don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it.
After Taoist Chongxu learned about the situation, he shook his head repeatedly.
At present, Chu Chen is extremely important in Xianting's plan, and he is the next candidate identified by Xianting as the "Witch Suppressor Commander".
First, the White Deer Immortal was willing to temporarily lend Chu Chen the magic weapon [Purple Light Pill Heavenly Seal] by name and teach him the Five Thunder Techniques for worshiping and refining the divine seal;
Secondly, he is extremely talented and has made rapid progress in Taoism and practice. He has the best chance of reaching the second level in terms of magic power within a few years.
Speaking of which, Master Huixin possesses the magical power [Yangzhi Nectar] and can be considered as one of the candidates. However, her cultivation momentum is not as good as that of Chu Chen. She is also a member of the Buddhist sect and cannot control the [Purple Light Pill Heavenly Seal]. She is far inferior in all aspects.
Within Xianting, other candidates have more or less similar situations.
Originally, "White Deer Immortal" was the best candidate, but now, Chu Chen has become the best candidate to carry the banner of "Suppressing Witches".
Once "Chu Chen" encounters an unexpected incident, it will have a great impact on the subsequent strategic arrangements of Tianchao Xianting.
At this thought, Taoist Chongxu looked extremely serious:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, this is the unanimous decision of the Immortal Court Elders Council. Before his death, Fellow Daoist Bailu handed over his 'will' to you and has high hopes for you. The Immortal Court is also very optimistic about you. Don't take risks. In case you If the life-saving treasure fails, not only you will be in danger, but the plans of the Celestial Court will also be affected."
When Chu Chen heard this, he was still a little unwilling: "Great elder, poor Taoist."
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please put the overall situation first."
Taoist Chongxu interrupted Chu Chen's petition and said in an unquestionable tone:
"You will go back to Lizhou to handle the errands, and then immediately go to the imperial capital to retreat and cultivate as soon as possible to preserve the fire. Don't encounter any unexpected events. The Celestial Court will naturally send someone to take over the affairs of Lizhou."
The sky is cloudy and white clouds are floating.
"Brother, are you dismissed from your post?"
The little kid is a "little official fan" and doesn't care about other things. However, he understands that his senior brother was dismissed from the Immortal Court and he looked depressed:
"I have just become the acting governor of the state, and it has been less than two months since I became the top leader of Lizhou. To be dismissed from the post so quickly, the situation has changed too quickly."
"Inhale your fragrance."
Chu Chen waved his hand and dismissed the little devil, feeling very depressed.
It wasn't because he was dismissed from the job of state inspector and acting state governor by Xianting, but because he felt aggrieved.
Just abandoning his former colleagues, watching the turmoil in Lizhou, people being devastated, and being a "deserter", he felt very unwilling and resentful in his heart.
Although the Litian Witch God has great magical powers, he is not omnipotent, and he is not without the power to fight.
With [Born Hair], he has acquired the master's magical power [Incarnate as Hutian], and he has obtained the White Deer Immortal's top magic weapon [Purple Light Pill Heavenly Seal], he can definitely fight with the Litian Witch God.
It's a pity that Xianting had made a "radical" move before with the support of Tianshi Gutong. Now it suffered a setback and the Jade Emperor Sect completely lost its voice.
Not only did they lose the initiative on the Lizhou issue, they also had to admit their mistakes and reflect on their mistakes, completely losing their voice.
Nowadays, I am afraid that no one in the Celestial Court advocates "suppression of witches". Those who take the safe route have completely gained the upper hand. Whether it is the Jade Emperor Sect or the Ziwei Sect, they have reached a consensus.
It is useless for Chu Chen alone to be unwilling.
Without the support of the Celestial Court, Chu Chen could not destroy Li Tian Shen Wu by his own wishful thinking.
Chu Chen shook his head and said nothing, while the five-colored auspicious clouds under his feet galloped towards Lizhou.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
In just half a day, the news of Bailu Immortal's death spread quickly throughout Lizhou and even the eight southwest states, as if it had wings.
People throughout Lizhou were in panic.
Chu Chen returned to Lizhou from Cangzhou. As soon as he arrived, Lizhou Mumenglu, Qingzhu layman, and Zhoucheng God Duancang all gathered together, with complicated expressions, quite like the sadness of a rabbit dead and a fox dead.
When Mumeng Lu of Lizhou saw Chu Chen, he asked:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, is Xianting planning to transfer you?"
"That's right! Immortal Court ordered me to go back to the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple to practice in seclusion."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, thought of something, and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Meng, what about you? The DPRK-Chinese Cabinet is also planning to transfer you?"
As the Lizhou Supervision Department, Chu Chen knew the situation in Lizhou very well. As far as he knew, Mumeng Road in Lizhou had made many attempts to suppress witches in the past two years, and even personally destroyed a Litianzi temple. A person that Litian Shifang Jungle pays close attention to.
When the Heavenly Witch God regains his composure, he will definitely return with revenge, which will be similar to the situation he faced.
"There is no imperial edict from the court yet, but the court does intend to transfer me back to the imperial capital to practice cultivation. By then, you and I can still be together."
Layman Qingzhu shook his head and explained with emotion:
"Not only Fellow Daoist Meng, but also Fellow Daoist Duan and all the officials, immortals, ghosts and gods in Lizhou who participated in the witch hunt will soon issue transfer orders and be transferred out of Lizhou to temporarily avoid the spotlight."
Chu Chen nodded when he heard this.
After the death of the White Deer Immortal, if the officials, immortals, ghosts and gods who had participated in the witch hunt were not transferred away and stayed in Lizhou, their auras would be exposed, and they would be in danger of being cursed by the Dharma-disgusting curse at any time.
Removing them from their posts and hiding them in the snow can be regarded as the protection of the Celestial Court.
Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy inside.
It is not difficult for the Immortal Court of Heaven to take action to protect a group of officials, immortals, ghosts and gods. However, the situation in Lizhou cannot be controlled at all. With the return of Litian Witch God, the trend of blood sacrifices is once again prevalent, which will undoubtedly affect Lizhou and even the eight southwest states. It's a disaster.
"Eh~"
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh, and was about to say something, but soon, he reached into his sleeve and took out the [Lizhou Supervision Order].
In a moment, his expression changed drastically.
Meng Lu and layman Qingzhu saw something was wrong, and they all said:
"Fellow Daoist Chu (Ling Xiao), what happened?"
Chu Chen took a deep breath:
"The Supervisory Department of Lizhou has reported that the Shifang Jungle of Litian has announced that a Litianzi Temple is preparing to hold a grand blood sacrifice ceremony. Currently, a demonic force is spreading the witchcraft method crazily throughout Lizhou."
"What!"
Lizhou Mumenglu, Qingzhu layman, and Zhoucheng God Duancang's expressions changed drastically and they were furious:
"Litian Witch God is so rampant, he is standing on our heads to shit and pee."
