#3759 - Blocking the Teachings for a Hundred Years (Part 2)

The Heavenly Court's orders quickly spread throughout the Primordial World...

This wasn't some insignificant rumor.

Instead, the Heavenly Court disseminated it as a public announcement to all corners of the Primordial World.

The creatures throughout the Primordial World were somewhat astonished by the Heavenly Court's actions this time.

None of them had expected the situation to be so dramatic.

The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation had already thoroughly trampled the reputation of the Chan Sect underfoot.

As if that wasn't enough, the Heavenly Court was now adding another layer...

Clearly, they weren't treating the Chan Sect as anything important.

The most crucial point was that the personnel responsible for carrying out this mission were particularly interesting.

It was Li Jing, whose background was well-known to many powerful figures in the Primordial World.

Ever since Daoist Ran Deng betrayed them, Li Jing had been completely neglected by the Chan Sect.

Yet, this guy possessed a loyalty to the Chan Sect that ordinary people couldn't understand.

Now, they were actually sending him to attack the Chan Sect.

And Li Jing actually agreed...

Furthermore, he displayed great enthusiasm, which sent a clear signal.

It meant that this Grand Marshal, who had always been loyal to the Chan Sect, was gradually turning his heart towards the Heavenly Court.

Upon closer thought, this matter didn't seem so difficult to understand.

Anyone who had shown goodwill to the Chan Sect for so many years, only to be constantly ignored,

and even ostracized within the Heavenly Court because of their loyalty, would definitely have thoughts in their heart...

"The Chan Sect is truly declining; the situation is getting worse day by day. If I were those guys in the Chan Sect, I would definitely fully accept Li Jing's loyalty. Just giving him a little recognition would keep this Heavenly Court Grand Marshal's heart aligned with the Chan Sect. It's a small investment with big returns, not a loss at all!"

"Indeed, the higher-ups of the Chan Sect didn't even think of such a simple thing. They must have been blinded by the benefits given by the Chaos Gods. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such incomprehensible moves. Li Jing has been showing goodwill for so many years without receiving any feedback, so it's natural for him to be disappointed."

"Forget it, why should we care about this kind of thing? It's their Chan Sect's headache and worry. I think we can all just watch the show and see how the Chan Sect will break out of this situation. Yuan Shi Tianzun's attitude towards the Chan Sect has been ambiguous for so many years, it's really confusing."

"These Sages are all cunning old foxes. The key to dealing with them is to never look at the surface of things. If you do, you'll definitely be tricked by these old foxes to the point of crying without knowing why. We just need to watch the show; the rest is none of our business."

Unlike the creatures and powerful figures in the Primordial World,

countless disciples within the Chan Sect immediately began to curse Li Jing upon hearing this news.

In their view, they could neglect Li Jing, a disciple who essentially no longer belonged to the Chan Sect,

but he couldn't betray the Chan Sect with this kind of behavior.

That's right, from the perspective of everyone in the Chan Sect, Li Jing's current behavior was a betrayal.

After hearing about this, Yuan Shi Tianzun couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

He naturally knew about Li Jing.

As one of the few Chan Sect disciples holding a high position in the Heavenly Court, how could Yuan Shi Tianzun not be aware?

The reason he sighed was that a significant part of this attitude towards Li Jing was due to his own actions.

Li Jing was originally a disciple of Daoist Ran Deng during the Investiture of the Gods.

As the Investiture of the Gods progressed,

Daoist Ran Deng ultimately betrayed the Chan Sect and joined the Western Sect.

Moreover, when he betrayed the Chan Sect, he also stabbed them in the back.

Under these circumstances, how could Li Jing, as a disciple of Daoist Ran Deng, have a good impression in Yuan Shi Tianzun's heart?

According to Yuan Shi Tianzun's original thoughts, Li Jing would definitely join the Western Sect along with his master, Daoist Ran Deng.

Even if he didn't openly join, these small actions behind the scenes would definitely be inevitable.

Such a standard 'two-faced traitor,' no matter how loyal he appeared, could never gain Yuan Shi Tianzun's trust.

Now, it was completely clear to Yuan Shi Tianzun.

He had misjudged Li Jing.

Just as those creatures and powerful figures in the Primordial World had said,

their Chan Sect could have achieved great things with a small investment.

Li Jing, even though he had been constantly met with cold indifference for many years,

still maintained his loyalty.

If they had given him some small benefits, wouldn't he have been completely devoted?

As a result, because of this suspicion towards Daoist Ran Deng,

Li Jing had now been completely subdued by Hao Tian...

Yuan Shi Tianzun looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Court and couldn't help but say, "Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

This was the game between Sage forces.

Clearly, in this open game, even if they lost, there was no excuse or reason to quibble.

The Heavenly Court hadn't used any conspiracies or tricks.

It was simply that their side hadn't seized the opportunity to win over people's hearts.

Strictly speaking, they hadn't taken Li Jing seriously at all.

It was too late to regret it now...

No one was a fool, and it was impossible to undo what was done.

Since Li Jing had chosen to be loyal to the Heavenly Court, he must understand that even if he faced the Chan Sect's attempts to win him over now,

he had to stand firm.

Any hesitation would easily lead to him being labeled as a 'two-faced traitor.'

Throughout history, very few of those labeled with this kind of tag had a good ending.

The various mocking voices of the Chan Sect disciples directed at Li Jing reached Yuan Shi Tianzun's ears...

"Li Jing really doesn't know what's good for him. Does he think that by joining the Heavenly Court like this, the Heavenly Court can protect him for life? How naive! If you ask me, this guy has lost our Chan Sect's support, and the Heavenly Emperor will soon treat Li Jing as a disposable pawn, being used for nothing without even realizing it. How foolish!"

"I completely agree with that statement. Li Jing is just being used for nothing. Speaking of which, the Heavenly Court is really despicable, coming to poach from our Chan Sect for no good reason, and even issuing an order to block our Chan Sect for a hundred years. If there are any guys who don't obey this order, then kill them without mercy. How ridiculous!"

"Hmph, I just don't understand where the Heavenly Court gets such confidence. They really don't take us seriously. We are a force with a Sage. I don't believe Yuan Shi Tianzun will sit idly by and do nothing when they treat us like this. Are we really going to let our Chan Sect be gradually destroyed like this? I'm not willing!"

"No one would be willing to accept such a thing unless they were a fool. However, complaining here basically won't change anything. It's better to calm down and think about how to make our situation better in this chaotic situation. I'm really worried about the future of the Chan Sect now."

......

Taiyi Zhenren watched his master without saying anything.

Even he could hear these voices within the Chan Sect.

Yuan Shi Tianzun, as a Sage, needless to say, must be aware of them.

At this time, it was best to keep his mouth shut.

Loyalty to the Chan Sect was one thing, but how to make his loyalty better accepted was another.

Qin Buyi returned to the Heavenly Court along the way.

On the way, he learned of the order issued by Hao Tian.

Qin Buyi naturally had no feelings about the matter of blocking the Chan Sect for a hundred years.

He was very clear that the reason why Hao Tian issued this order was entirely because he was unhappy in his heart.

After all, no one wants to be despised!

Especially since he had previously gone to the Chan Sect as Hao Tian's incarnation.

The Chan Sect treated him like that.

If he couldn't establish his authority this time and didn't show anything, the consequence would definitely be a decrease in Hao Tian's prestige...

Logically speaking, in Qin Buyi's view, Hao Tian had to take action.

It was just a matter of how to operate in the process.

When the many gods in the Heavenly Court saw the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation return, they immediately saluted one by one:

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Qin Buyi waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!"

He didn't have much time to exchange pleasantries with these gods in the Heavenly Court.
