Several deputy pavilion masters returned from the Human Emperor Pavilion, but the one who returned was Liu Bairen, a veteran human domain official.
Not only Liu Bairen, but also six pavilion masters from the Eight Pavilions of the Human Emperor came, headed by Liu Bairen and Feng Yezi, to visit Qiongqi, who was caged at this time.
In such a battle, Taoist Xiaojian didn't dare to say anything, and just went to the corner and squatted.
Don't dare to say anything, don't dare to ask anything.
After watching it, Qiongqi curled up in a ball in the cage, no longer a majestic figure at all. Several pavilion masters were filled with emotion.
He was hunted down many times by the Human Domain and even pursued by the Human Emperor himself, but this Qiongqi escaped time and time again.
Although this is related to Qiongqi's nature of being too cautious and going straight to the Heavenly Palace every time he escapes for his life, seeing Qiongqi being arrested now makes him very emotional.
Wu Wang took these six ministers of the Human Emperor back to his cave and sat calmly on the throne;
The six pavilion masters were ranked according to their seniority and were seated on the left and right.
Lin Suqing led the "cross-race, cross-life-level" maid team forward to serve hot tea;
Jingwei and Mu Daxian poked their heads at the entrance of the inner cave, curiously looking at the situation inside the cave. Mu Daxian whispered who this was and who was that, and did not dare to move forward to say hello to his master.
Miao Cuijiao and the Great Elder appeared outside the cave, standing on the left and right guarding the door, supporting their annihilation of the sect.
"This, Wuwu."
Liu Bairen got straight to the point and said directly: "Qiongqi, are you still useful?"
Wu Wan said seriously: "I have some use for his Dao, but the rest doesn't matter."
"If that's the case, is there any way you can erase his soul but retain his avenue?"
Liu Bairen said in a deep voice:
“Although Qiongqi is different from Tiangong Zhengshen, as far as we know, its avenue has been included in Tiangong Shenting.
If he is obliterated, Tiangong can reshape a new god named Qiongqi in the divine pool, and the new god will become the main god of Tiangong.
The avenue still cannot stay with us. "
"Yes, this is also the reason why I didn't kill Qiongqi directly when I caught him before."
Wu Wang said seriously:
"As we all know, the extraordinary heavenly punishment is made up of several or even dozens of avenues, including Qiongqi's path.
Now that the Imperial Palace has locked up this avenue, it is extremely difficult to get out of it.
If Qiongqi is left alive, he can control such a road through Qiongqi.
He can seduce inner demons, and he can also see the darkness in the hearts of living beings. If he hadn't done bad things and been backlashed by the great road, he would have been swallowed by the inner demons, and we wouldn't have been counterattacked by us everywhere.
But I am here to express my opinion.
If the human realm wants to kill Qiongqi, I support it with both hands.
If the Renhuang Pavilion can't kill Qiongqi's soul while retaining his great avenue, then we can just destroy him directly.
I don’t have to use his avenue, it’s not a loss to me. "
[It’s good to have it, but it’s okay not to have it. 】
Liu Bairen and several pavilion masters looked at each other, all thinking intently, thinking about countermeasures.
Yun Zhongjun, who looked like a sleeping god, slowly walked behind the desk.
Wu Wang moved his eyes, and Yun Zhongjun also shook his head slightly.
He is just an ancient god who has lived a little longer, picked up a little more rags, accumulated a little more knowledge, and a little deeper artistic attainments. He is not an omniscient and omnipotent god.
The cave was quiet for a while.
Liu Bairen said: "If we want to win the avenue, we have to fight against the underlying order of Tiangong. This is not something we can do."
"If you can't think of a suitable way, then just kill him."
Wu Wan said in a deep voice:
"Before killing it, get out its memory and save a few copies. This can be considered a remedial measure.
This guy knows a lot of secrets of the Heavenly Palace. "
"It's better than this," Feng Yezi said, "Since Qiongqi is still useful, then there's nothing wrong with letting Qiongqi die in name only and imprisoning him secretly."
Liu Bairen said:
"You have to resort to fraud, either not to announce the matter to the outside world, or to kill Qiongqi directly so that everyone can come and see and avenge the human spirits who died at the hands of the Ten Fierce Gods.
Only in this way can people be happy.
If you do one thing overtly and another secretly, you will lose people's hearts. "
Feng Yezi smiled and stroked his beard, and all the pavilion masters nodded.
Wu laughed and said:
"Then let's settle it like this. I will hand over Qiongqi to Human Domain and participate in the whole process of handling Qiongqi.
What do you think, Pavilion Masters? "
Liu Bairen spread his hands and said with a smile:
"You've already spoken, so the matter is settled!
Why, you will also hand over Qiongqi to Human Domain. Aren’t you the master of Human Domain in the future?
You picked it clean yourself! "
Wu Wan said seriously: "Pavilion Master Liu's words are a bit loose. I am just the person in charge of Emperor Yan's Order and the Yin-Yang Avenue, not the Human Emperor."
"It's almost the same." Liu Bairen picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth. "If you have something to say, say it directly. We don't mind if you give the order directly. Your Majesty has actually made it clear."
Wu Wang had several black lines hanging on his forehead.
My father-in-law is so anxious to retire and enjoy his old age...
Wu Wan looked around for a week, and he already had a plan in mind, and said slowly:
"Then I will go over the limit once today.
If you have decided to kill Qiongqi, you cannot simply hang it up and chop it. This will waste this good move in vain.
I have thought a lot in the past few days. If I want to kill Qiongqi, I must fight with momentum and impact! "
The six old men all looked at Wu Wan, stroking their beards or frowning, with a little curiosity in their eyes.
Wu Wang said:
“The ingredients of Qiongqi are very complex.
He is a wild beast, the leader of the ten evil gods, and one of the more active gods in the Heavenly Palace. He is also Da Siming's little cotton-padded jacket... well, he is Da Siming's confidant.
If Qiongqi was cut off in a corner, it would be meaningless, and it would just be a bad breath.
But if Qiongqi is hung up high, the people in the wilderness will be notified before killing it, so that all the gods in the Heavenly Palace will know about it. When killing it, it will be crowned with righteousness, and it will be punished by killing Qiongqi and falling into the Heavenly Palace.
Kill Qiongqi to shake the Heavenly Palace's rule over hundreds of living creatures. Only then would the killing be meaningful.
After experiencing this war between humans and gods in Zhongshan, I realized that our previous thinking was too simple. Most of the tribes were willing to be ruled by the Celestial Palace. "
The masters of the pavilion deeply agreed.
Liu Bairen smiled and said: "Aren't you ready? You deliberately circumvented us. Is there any way you can avoid killing us?"
Wu smiled and said nothing more.
In fact, he really wanted to get a mount for Nagging Snake...
However, Qiongqi committed a heinous crime in the human realm, and it would be inappropriate for him to be punished by lynching.
"In that case, Qiongqi will be handed over to a few pavilion masters. I will keep watch until he is executed."
Wu Wan said this and picked up the tea cup.
All the pavilion masters were all mature with age. They each stood up and bowed to Wu Huan. Wu Huan stood up and returned the salute.
After all, we are not at the level where we can accept the gift calmly.
…
[Qiongqi, the head of the fierce god, will be beheaded in public at the north gate of the main pavilion of the Human Emperor Pavilion in the human domain in half a month. 】
Such news quickly spread throughout the human domain, and with the promotion of Sihai Pavilion, it spread rapidly to the Great Wilderness and Nine Wildernesses.
When the Heavenly Palace heard this news, the gods who had not yet fallen asleep were furious and felt that this was a great shame and humiliation.
After hearing the news, most of the hundreds of tribes remained silent, and several tribes and tribes in the southeastern and southwestern regions close to the human realm made "very happy" noises.
Immediately afterwards, the Renhuang Pavilion in the human domain officially issued a proclamation to punish Qiongqi, enumerating Qiongqi's crimes, and used this matter to scold Tiangong.
There is a sentence in the slogan that Wu Wang personally modified:
[If the Heavenly Palace continues to uphold the principle that gods control all living things, how can it replace the laws of heaven and the great road! 】
This is the key step to begin to deny that Tiangong is the orthodoxy of the Great Wilderness.
It can be regarded as a small pavement for the rise of Tiandao.
Wu Wang originally thought that the Heavenly Palace would be very concerned about this matter, and even organized powerful gods to raid and snatch Qiongqi, in order to demonstrate the power of Heaven and maintain the foundation of his rule.
But he never thought...
He waited by Qiongqi's side for half a month, until half an hour before the execution began, there was not even a shadow of the gods in the Heavenly Palace.
Wu Wan couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Is it because Tiangong looks down on Qiongqi, or is it because Tiangong is afraid of the great formation left by Fuxi?
This is equivalent to swinging an ax and chopping down the roots of the big tree called Tiangong. Is it possible that Tiangong is not aware of the seriousness inside?
Looking up at Qiongqi who was hanging on the elevated platform, Wu Wan couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his brow.
Even if Da Si Ming can't get around it, the Earth God should understand the deep meaning behind it. Why...
at the same time;
In the heavenly palace.
"Going to save Qiongqi?"
The Earth God frowned and looked at the dozen gods in front of him, and said helplessly:
“The Human Domain has set up this battle just to wait for us to go over and give them merit.
Da Siming, haven't you already said that Qiongqi's path has been left in the Heavenly Palace? The Qiongqi of today is not the Qiongqi of decades ago, and is no longer irreplaceable.
We, the human realm, kill Qiongqi, turn Qiongqi's avenue into a god, and give it to a god with outstanding abilities. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "
"snort!"
Da Siming threw the dark red scroll in his hand to the ground and cursed:
"Lord God, look what's written here!
In a mere human area, they are so ambitious and evil-minded that they actually talk about the Heavenly Palace and exaggerate their own righteousness!
What else is there to say, how can the Heavenly Palace replace Heavenly Law?
The palace of heaven is the law of heaven! The Heavenly Palace is the rule of the wilderness!
This is simply disrespectful to His Majesty! "
The Earth God took the scroll into his hands, spread it out and read it carefully, and soon laughed.
"This should be written by Wuwangzi, or Wuwangzi has changed the words in it."
The Earth God smiled and said:
“Human Realm just wants to gain equal status with Tiangong by convicting Qiongqi.
They have all begun to break into the southern border of Zhongshan, so what if they are given such a name?
In terms of humiliation, what does this time mean?
Grand Commander, everyone, I think we should be more realistic and prudent. At this time, we should just sit back and watch them in the human realm.
No matter how bright the flower of life is, it only appears once.
Only the Tao is with you and me, forever. "
Da Siming's expression was a little uncertain, but these dozen gods felt that what the Earth God said was reasonable.
"That's all."
Da Siming shook his head. Before he could complete his turn, his figure had disappeared, leaving only one sentence:
"In the future, the human realm will raise its arms and shout, and hundreds of tribes in the wilderness will respond. The Earth God will slowly send troops to attack."
The Earth God smiled and shook his head, shattering the scroll in his hand. He thought for a while without saying a word.
The dozen or so innate gods bowed their heads in salute and then retreated.
After the temple quieted down, the Earth God's palm brushed across the jade table in front of him, and an earthy yellow vortex appeared on it, revealing the situation in front of the Human Emperor's Pavilion.
There are huge crowds of people and flags are flying;
An unknown number of human realm monks have gathered here, and in the corner, there are also a handful of creatures from hundreds of races.
The Earth God stared at the creatures of hundreds of tribes for a while, and then was pulled back by the roar of people.
The monks shouted the word "kill", and the shouts continued to circulate between heaven and earth.
The scorching sun was high and there were no clouds in the sky.
Wu Wan sat in front of the array of experts from the human realm, with a little divine light in his eyes. The Taoist Star Sword had an extra scabbard today, lying quietly on the low table next to Wu Wan's hand.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The call was like a wave, one wave higher than the other.
"My lord, the time has come."
A ray of sound penetrated into his ears, Wu Wang nodded calmly, stood up and held the Star Sword in his hand.
Today he specially put on a mysterious robe, with a shallow crown on his head, a jade ring on his waist, a golden ribbon on his wrist, and two black dragons with spreading wings embroidered on the boots.
The drums started beating.
Taoist Xiaojian led forty-eight high-level deacons and beat forty-nine war drums.
Wu Wang stepped forward in the air, step by step, and walked to the high platform step by step.
The shouts around him became louder and louder, and the sound of drums was even suppressed by the word 'kill'.
A line of writing began to appear on Qiongqi's head, each of which was recorded in the human realm. The crimes Qiongqi committed in the human realm were from before the birth of the Ten Fierce Gods to the destruction of the entire Ten Fierce Palace.
Countless and endless.
Wu Huan took a hundred steps forward and arrived at Qiongqi's side. He held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right hand, and slowly pulled out the Star Sword with a faint sound of sword clanging.
Under the sunlight, the sword's body rippled like water, and the blade was raised high.
The drumming stopped and the killing stopped.
All eyes were fixed on this place, and countless monks clenched their fists nervously.
Qiongqi raised his head and looked at Wu Wan, his numb and tired eyes showing a little sense of peace, and even a little bit of joy of relief.
Wu Wan closed his eyes and concentrated, the star sword in his hand lit up brightly, and he slashed with his right hand, like a big star falling from the sky and the earth.
Qiongqi's eyes reflected the stars, and he suddenly trembled all over, with a bit of fear on his face, and shouted:
"S-spare my life!"
Uh-huh!
Before the word "fate" fell, the sword light flashed, and a head flew up, its face was full of distortion, it fell far away from the high platform, and was picked forward by a spear.
Qiongqi's headless corpse was wrapped in blood and turned into a headless beast body a hundred feet long, and slowly sank.
Immediately, more than a dozen figures rushed towards him, laying down talismans and scattering chains, imprisoning the divine power in Qiongqi's body so that it would be useful later.
Still killed.
Wu Wan didn't know why, but felt a little regretful.
He had previously thought of using Qiongqi to calculate the Heavenly Palace;
However, considering the emotions of the majority of people in the Human Realm, as well as the cooperative relationship between the Human Realm and himself, Wu Wang can clearly distinguish what is more important.
not to mention……
Wu Wan glanced at the orb in his sleeve.
Qiongqi's memory and the dark information about Tiangong have been obtained.
…
Wow——
In the colorful Huaqi, a plump figure strolled out. Two maids immediately stepped forward and covered her with a soft golden gauze skirt.
The figure walked up to the one-foot-diameter bronze mirror and raised his hand across the mirror, showing the strange scene of Wu Wan's beheading. There was a playful smile in those slightly sharp eyes.
"Lu Wu?"
That light and inexplicably magnetic voice floated out from her plump red lips.
There was a response immediately outside the door:
"Master, please give me your orders."
"Go to the human realm and invite Wu Huanzi to come and sit in the ruins of Kunlun. He said, if you want to win against Emperor Kuang, come and see me."
"yes."
The god general outside the door agreed in a low voice, and his figure disappeared leisurely.
The goddess standing in front of the bronze mirror tapped her fingers, and there was no more projection inside, reflecting the perfect body that could make 98% of the men in the world go crazy.
Heavenly Punishment, Queen Mother of the West.
