Chapter 504: Heavenly Pig's Misconduct, News from the Immortal Palace (Part 2)
Chapter 504: Heavenly Pig's Misconduct, News from the Immortal Palace (Part 2)
Moreover, the culprit was from the Immortal Palace, and it was only reasonable and ethical to first inform the Immortal Palace and let them take action, and then hand the culprit over to the Dark Moon Star Lord for punishment.
Although it was a bit troublesome, rules were rules.
The Immortal Palace's face had to be saved.
Otherwise, the Dark Moon Star Lord wouldn't gain any advantage.
As long as the final result was the same, it didn't matter who took action.
Furthermore...
For the Immortal King to personally capture a small pervert...
If this news spread, countless people would gossip about it.
There had already been many rumors about the Dark Moon Star Lord, and if this happened again, there might be more rumors about how the pervert had taken advantage of her or how she had been abandoned.
How could this be? The importance of reputation goes without saying.
For the sake of reputation, the Immortal King would fight to the death.
"Hiss!!!"
Heavenly Pig had escaped far away.
But the surging Immortal Energy and terrifying divine aura of the Dark Moon Star Lord still made his whole body tremble.
Even from a great distance, he was nearly frozen by the power of the Great Yin, turning into an ice sculpture.
"Dammit!"
"She..."
"Is actually this terrifying?!"
Fortunately, she didn't attack directly, allowing Heavenly General Yuan to escape death and seize the opportunity to flee for his life, wishing he had four legs.
You say...
There are so many creatures with four legs, so why do humans only have two?
If humans had four legs, wouldn't it be better?
He would definitely run much faster!
His mind was restless, and during his escape, he began to wander in thought.
...
"What?"
"Is this really happening?!"
The Star Lord of Great Yin illuminated the heavens, personally descending to the Immortal Palace to demand an explanation.
The Immortal Palace was shaken!
Even the Immortal Palace Lord was alarmed.
"
At this moment.
The officials in charge of the Heavenly River all turned pale.
Damn, the deed is done!
This damn Heavenly General Yuan!
What kind of person is he?
You really have the gall to mess with the Immortal Palace Lord's backup furnace, you really...
Fk!
They trembled, quickly kneeling on the ground with a thud.
"Hmm?!"
The Immortal Palace Lord looked at them, his gaze deep: "Why are you so panicked?"
"We have failed in our duties!"
"Upon hearing of Heavenly General Yuan's actions, we sensed something was wrong and secretly dispatched our subordinates to investigate. We discovered that Heavenly General Yuan had been embezzling and eating many of the spirit creatures kept in the Heavenly River. This is our fault..."
They hurried to confess their sins.
Their hearts were bitter.
What a disaster!
They were all ruined by this damn Heavenly General Yuan.
We were all fine until he screwed up, and now the higher-ups will definitely send people to thoroughly investigate.
Once they start investigating...
We're all fked, aren't we?
None of the officials in charge of the Heavenly River had clean records.
No one could withstand such scrutiny.
Unable to withstand the scrutiny, they quickly confessed, pushing the blame onto Heavenly General Yuan first.
After all, he committed a capital crime, so a few more wouldn't matter much.
However...
After actively 'confessing,' they gradually calmed down.
"Heavenly General Yuan's actions have indeed harmed us, but as the saying goes, 'a blessing in disguise.' This misfortune might turn out to be a blessing."
"As long as we push the blame onto Heavenly General Yuan..."
"Although we will also be punished for negligence, negligence is better than embezzlement."
"At worst, we'll be fined or demoted."
"But the previous charges will all be cleared."
"Agreed!!"
"No problem!"
"Is this really happening?"
The Immortal Palace Lord gave them a deep look.
To be honest, he couldn't possibly not know about these things.
But...
Sigh.
Too clear a stream holds no fish.
If he were to scrutinize everything, it might not be beneficial. Sometimes, turning a blind eye makes his subordinates more useful.
After all, such a vast Immortal Palace can't rely solely on him.
But now...
With Heavenly General Yuan's misdeeds, the Heavenly River will inevitably be investigated and cleaned up.
They jumped out, clearly trying to shift the blame.
He intended to punish them lightly, but considering their audacity over the years, it was time to knock some sense into them. He feigned contemplation and asked, "How much did Heavenly General Yuan embezzle and eat?"
The officials in charge glanced at each other.
One of them quickly said, "In total, he stole and ate over 17,360 different types of spirit plants and 13,780,000 pounds of various birds, beasts, insects, and fish..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
They wanted to laugh but dared not.
Even the avatar of the Star Lord of Great Yin couldn't help but glance sideways.
The other officials who hadn't spoken buried their heads in their 'bellies,' like quails.
"Goodness~!"
The Immortal Palace Lord stared at them, his gaze intense: "Is Heavenly General Yuan a pig?"
"How long has he been guarding the Heavenly River to eat so much? Huh?"
"This, this..."
They felt their scalps tingle.
The speaker also realized there was something wrong.
If this was reported secretly and written in an official document, it would be fine.
But saying it in public...
Wasn't he making the big shots look foolish?
But the words were already out. If he retracted them, wouldn't it still be a disaster?
Reluctantly, they steeled their resolve and stuck to their story: "It's as we said."
"However, perhaps Heavenly General Yuan didn't consume everything himself but gave or sold some to others?"
"..."
The Immortal Palace Lord stared at them, making their hearts race and their legs tremble.
"Is that so?"
His lips slowly curled into a smile: "I hope that's true."
In the end, he didn't impose severe punishments.
As the Immortal Palace Lord, he was too shrewd not to know they were 'balancing the books.'
Heavenly General Yuan had clearly become the scapegoat.
But...
It wasn't a big issue.
As long as he warned them and made an example of someone, to deter others, it would be enough.
"You have failed in your duties, causing significant losses to the Immortal Palace's assets and resources. Punish yourselves according to the law!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
They quickly knelt: "Thank you for Your Majesty's clemency."
"Your Majesty is wise..."
"Enough!"
The Immortal Palace Lord waved his hand: "This matter is settled!"
"But Heavenly General Yuan has committed multiple crimes, and his death is certain."
"Order the Twelve Heavenly Generals to slay Heavenly General Yuan."
"Bring back his body, dead or alive!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
"..."
"Alive or dead."
The Star Lord of Great Yin spoke: "In the end, he must be brought to me."
"Your Highness, I must use my physical body to give the Moon Maidens an explanation."
"Yes, Star Lord!"
"..."
Meeting adjourned!
The Immortal Palace acted swiftly.
Even before the meeting had ended, the Lord of the Immortal Palace had barely given the order when the Twelve Divine Generals, led by the Six Ding Liu Jia, rushed out of the palace to pursue Heavenly General Yuan.
The Six Ding Liu Jia were originally deities in charge of the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, with twelve gods in total.
The six Ding gods: Ding Mao, Ding Si, Ding Wei, Ding You, Ding Hai, and Ding Chou.
The six Jia gods: Jia Zi, Jia Xu, Jia Shen, Jia Wu, Jia Chen, and Jia Yin.
Within the Immortal Palace, their status was not particularly high, but it was not low either.
Their strength was on par with that of Heavenly General Yuan, and together, they made it impossible for him to escape, even if he had wings.
Therefore, they didn't need any preparation at all.
They just needed to charge ahead recklessly! However, since Heavenly General Yuan had been on the run for some time, they couldn't pinpoint his location, so while chasing him, they also contacted Thousand Mile Eye and Ten Thousand Mile Ear.
Of course, these were not the Thousand Mile Eye and Ten Thousand Mile Ear from the Journey to the West.
Instead, they were related to cultivation and could 'lock onto' enemies from a distance.
From them, they obtained clues about Heavenly General Yuan's whereabouts and continued the pursuit...
"Damn it!"
"I'm being watched."
Heavenly General Yuan quickly sensed that he was being monitored.
He hadn't even considered the possibility of escaping the Immortal Palace's investigation.
After all...
Who was he?
And what was the Immortal Palace?
Did he really think he could hide from their scrutiny?
This escape was a desperate attempt to seize a glimmer of hope, but the odds were one in a million...
He must do everything in his power to grasp this opportunity and escape to safety.
At this moment, his intoxication had completely worn off.
He was terrifyingly sober.
"I must use everything I can, or else..."
"There's no doubt I'll die!"
"Now, I'm sure I'm already being watched, but I don't know who it is. I must get some information first so I can prepare in advance and be more composed."
"Forget it."
He took a deep breath, "To hell with making enemies, my life is more important!"
He immediately contacted his 'old friend'.
Hmm...
The number one official in charge of the Milky Way...
"Heavenly General Yuan?!"
This official had just finished his punishment and was still charred black from the lightning strike, his hair standing on end, "You dare contact me again?!"
"Do you know that you're in deep trouble?!"
Heavenly General Yuan chuckled coldly, "Go back? Go back and wait for death?"
"But..." The official wanted to say more.
But Heavenly General Yuan cut him off, "No more nonsense. I'm not contacting you to reminisce or discuss anything. I want you to tell me who is after me, where they are now, and how I can avoid them."
"You?"
He glared, "How dare you!"
"How could I possibly be involved with you?"
"Go back to your delusions!"
"Is that so?" Heavenly General Yuan wasn't flustered. He changed the topic, "Then what about the times you stole and sold things..."
"Nonsense!"
The official scoffed, "When have we ever done such shameful things? It's all because of you, the guilty one!"
He was fearless now.
The Immortal Palace, and its lord, already knew about this matter, and their hearts were as clear as a mirror.
But since the lord hadn't explicitly mentioned it in the palace, only pretending to 'hesitate,' it meant they didn't want to pursue the matter further, only using it as an opportunity to send a warning.
The higher-ups above were sending a message.
Those below understood the situation and knew they should lay low for a while, lest they invite trouble.
Were they afraid of a guilty sinner like Heavenly General Yuan's slander?
"Is that so?"
Heavenly General Yuan's voice turned colder.
How could he not understand? The other party had already 'cut the bridge,' shifting the blame onto him, which was why they were so bold.
"Of course it is!"
The official scoffed, "There's no room for negotiation. You'd better return and surrender. Perhaps you can get a lighter punishment, or else you will surely die. There's no doubt about it."
"What a waste of ten thousand years of cultivation, all for nothing."
"In the end, your soul will scatter, and you won't even have a name in the cycle of rebirth."
"Hmph!"
"You're truly a good dog." Heavenly General Yuan mocked, "Now you're so upright and incorruptible. If I didn't know better, I might have been fooled by you. What a pity, you can't fool me!"
"Forget it. I'll take the blame for this."
"But..."
"That banquet two thousand years ago, when you stole the immortal wine..."
"And when you gambled with the other immortals in secret, using things from the Milky Way. They probably haven't finished it all. Just search one of them..."
"Pfft!"
"Heavenly General Yuan, don't slander me with your nonsense. Am I that kind of person?"
"You're finished, just wait for your death!"
"Hmph."
Heavenly General Yuan's voice turned colder, "You even..."
"???"
"Heavenly General Yuan?!"
"You deserve to die!"
The official roared, "I'm telling you, the Six Ding Liu Jia are already on their way to capture you, and Thousand Mile Eye and Ten Thousand Mile Ear are assisting remotely to pinpoint your location."
"Don't even think about going to the Three Thousand Isles!"
"Or to the bald donkey's place to shave your head and go 'underground,' then teleport to other life-prohibited zones!"
"And don't even think about getting some treasure in those prohibited zones to block their senses."
"In short, you're finished!"
"Your only right choice now is to immediately return and surrender, begging for forgiveness..."
"Pfft!!!"
After cursing, he immediately cut off the call and crushed the valuable long-distance communication jade talisman!
Afterward...
He still felt uneasy.
What if the higher-ups in the Immortal Hall discover a trace and come here to 'rewind time'?
Although he couldn't reverse time and space, seeing past events was not difficult!
Although he seemed fine, anyone with a keen eye would know... If they were to find a problem, there would be a tiny bit of trouble.
So...
No way!
He must remain calm!
Instantly, he exuded righteousness, his face filled with unwavering justice, and struck a pose with a righteous yet evil stance. He shouted, "I will not tolerate evil!"
"..."
...
"Six Ding Liu Jia."
"Will Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er assist from the side?"
"He really wants to put me in a dire situation."
"Ruthless!"
"Good!"
Tian Peng's face turned green.
Why play with a thousand-year-old fox like a ghost story?
The big guy was cursing and warning him, but Tian Peng understood that this was their idea, guiding him towards a 'path of survival'.
But...
Fuck you, is this path that easy to walk?
Not to mention they're watching and chasing closely.
Even without pursuers, if he were to sneak into the bald donkey's territory alone, find a temple, disguise himself as a monk, and infiltrate the Dark Forbidden Zone...
Damn!
What is the Dark Forbidden Zone? It can indeed block Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er's detection, but why is it called a forbidden zone?
Because it's a life-threatening zone!
Moreover, it's a rather special life-threatening zone.
Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er can't enter, and if he goes in, he'll be as good as blind.
He can only see a small area.
Inside, there are all sorts of dangers, a place that truly takes lives.
Going in is one thing, but they want me to find treasures that block detection inside, then run to several life-threatening zones, confusing their vision, and setting up a trap...
Fuck!
It's not just a matter of life and death... no, it's certain death!
Do they think life-threatening zones are just talk?
Even if these life-threatening zones don't 'sweep through the world' and cause 'chaos', it's still life-threatening!
"Sigh..."
"It's really a headache."
At this moment, he deeply regretted it.
He didn't know what to say.
But he couldn't help but slap himself hard.
Slap! The sound of the slap echoed.
His face instantly swelled up, and the palm print was particularly noticeable.
"You..."
"How could you be so reckless?"
"Damn, has he eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gallbladder?"
"He was living a good life, but now he wants to bring disaster upon himself?"
"..."
...
Yes...
Or perhaps it's more appropriate to say he was scared.
But, despite the fear, he had to find a way to survive, even if there was only a one-in-a-million chance, he couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Moreover, death wasn't the scariest part.
Even if they wanted to capture him alive and execute him.
Damn, just looking at the Immortal Hall's punishments made him tremble; he didn't want to face that.
"Damn, this is terrible!"
"What should I do?"
He was in a panic.
"Could it be that I have to go to those places?"
"..."
"Wait, that's not right!"
"That bastard is trying to trick me."
"Why go to the Dark Forbidden Zone?"
"That place can't block detection, and it'll just waste my time."
"Moreover, if I'm slow, the Immortal Hall might inform the Buddhist Sect, and I might be directly captured by them and handed over to the Immortal Hall.
"That's when there's truly no way out."
"..."
Tian Peng understood.
That bastard was telling ten truths and one lie to deceive him.
Why?
Because he knew his secret.
He wouldn't be at ease until I'm dead! As long as I'm alive, I can use this secret to eat him for a lifetime!
"Okay, okay!"
"You just wait, you bastard."
"We were like brothers when eating and drinking, but now that I'm in trouble, you want to kill me."
"Don't let me have the chance to see you again."
"..."
...
Tian Peng's thoughts were clear, and he turned and headed towards the nearest super long-distance teleportation array.
Then, he spent a hefty sum to 'book' it.
He rushed towards the Dark Forbidden Zone at the fastest speed.
Immortal Hall.
Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er quickly noticed the situation: "He was scolded."
"It's someone from our Immortal Hall, and I can't detect him within the Immortal Hall. How dare he think of asking for help?"
"He's heading towards the teleportation array."
"Huh?"
"He's going in the opposite direction, towards the Six Ding Liu Jia."
"No, no, no!!!"
"That direction is..."
"The Dark Forbidden Zone?!"
"Oh no, he wants to enter the Dark Forbidden Zone to find a way to survive. Hurry, follow him; it'll be troublesome if you don't complete the task."
Tian Peng entered, but what about Six Ding Liu Jia? Will they enter?
Enter?
The Dark Forbidden Zone is too dangerous!
Not enter?
You're not going to capture the criminal even though you're from the Immortal Hall?
How dare you disobey the Immortal Hall's orders?
Are you seeking death?
Six Ding Liu Jia was also startled: "This bastard Tian Peng wants a scapegoat."
"Chase him!"
However.
They ultimately didn't catch up.
Tian Peng entered the Dark Forbidden Zone first.
Soon after, Six Ding Liu Jia stood outside the Dark Forbidden Zone, furious.
