#2973 - Blackmailing Western Churches (Part 2)

The Primeval Lord of Heaven accepted the space ring and probed it with his divine sense.

Seeing the cultivation resources inside, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, asking for help with such meager gifts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!"

The Saint Jieyin suppressed the heartache and took out another space ring, handing it to the Primeval Lord of Heaven...

This repeated more than ten times before the Primeval Lord of Heaven nodded with a hint of satisfaction: "This is not bad."

The Four Heavenly Kings, who had been secretly watching this scene, saw Saint Jieyin being fleeced.

Their eyes widened...

It was truly rare to see a saint being fleeced in the Primordial World!

If it weren't for their special positions, it would have been impossible for them to witness such a scene.

"I used to hear that the Journey to the West plan was very important to Saints Jieyin and Zhunti, and I didn't quite believe it at the time. How could a mere Journey to the West plan be so important to the two saints? Now that I see Saint Jieyin being fleeced like this, I finally understand what is meant by important."

"There's one thing I still don't understand. Why hasn't the Heavenly Emperor shown himself? Logically speaking, this matter is led by our Heavenly Court, and letting the Primeval Lord of Heaven fleece them seems to imply that the guest is taking precedence over the host. Could it be that there's some hidden scheme here?"

"That's only natural. If Saints Jieyin and Zhunti weren't so amenable, the Primeval Lord of Heaven could naturally find a reason and excuse to cooperate with the Heavenly Emperor hiding in the shadows. Then Saints Jieyin and Zhunti would still face the predicament of being fleeced."

"Damn, can things really be linked like this? They say playing tactics is taxing on the heart. I seem to understand a little now. Even saints have to submit to such taxing tactics. Looking at Saint Jieyin's pained expression, you can tell how great the price is."

...

With Haotian and the Primeval Lord of Heaven joining forces to fleece them, how could they let Saints Jieyin and Zhunti off so easily?

Seeing the Primeval Lord of Heaven relent, Saint Jieyin said with a somewhat displeased expression: "Can you tell me now where the Golden Cicada is?"

The Primeval Lord of Heaven curled his lips: "It's only because of the cultivation resources and rare treasures in so many of your space rings. Otherwise, based on your attitude, I wouldn't even tell you..."

Saint Jieyin: "...Don't go too far!"

He had cooperated so well when being fleeced, there should be a limit to squeezing soft persimmons.

It was important to understand the principle of excess.

If one acted recklessly without restraint, they would definitely end up falling out.

After half a cup of tea.

Saints Jieyin and Zhunti left.

The Primeval Lord of Heaven didn't tell them exactly where the Golden Cicada was.

He just told them to go back and wait.

If Saints Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't understand such obvious hints, then they would be a little foolish.

Western Sect.

Saint Zhunti slapped the table, angrily saying: "Senior Brother Jieyin, why didn't you let me speak just now!"

Saint Jieyin glanced at him and said: "Our weakness is firmly in their grasp. What else can we say?"

Mentioning this matter, the enraged Saint Zhunti was like a deflated ball.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Waiting for the Journey to the West plan to end, the Primeval Lord of Heaven better hope he doesn't fall into my hands!"

As soon as he said this, Saint Jieyin's words fell into Saint Zhunti's ears:

"I don't think the Primeval Lord of Heaven will fall into your hands."

Saint Zhunti: "......"

What kind of fierce words were those!

They were all in the same camp of the Western Sect, and sometimes it wasn't good to be too direct!

Mainly, it was a little heartbreaking.

The matter of Saints Jieyin and Zhunti being fleeced in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate quickly spread throughout the entire Primordial World.

Naturally, the two saints of the Western Sect didn't spread such a shameful thing themselves.

The mastermind behind it was the Primeval Lord of Heaven.

The disciples of the Western Sect were all extremely complicated upon hearing this news.

Was there anything in this world more upsetting than their own ancestral teachers being fleeced!

"Our Western Sect will really have no face to walk in the Primordial World in the future. When Ancestral Teachers Jieyin and Zhunti faced the Primeval Lord of Heaven's fleece, why didn't they dare to fight the Primeval Lord of Heaven! Even if it meant returning the current Primordial World to the chaos of the Investiture of the Gods calamity."

"Ancestral Teachers Jieyin and Zhunti are considering things much more deeply than we are. If they could fight the Primeval Lord of Heaven, do you think the two ancestral teachers would choose to be fleeced? There must be a reason behind it that prevents them from falling out, such as the Journey to the West plan that is currently underway."

"Forget it, the Journey to the West plan, on the surface, is about whether Ancestral Teachers Jieyin and Zhunti can alleviate the pressure brought by the Heavenly Dao, but in reality, it is closely related to our entire Western Sect. Just imagine, if something were to happen to Ancestral Teachers Jieyin and Zhunti, our Western Sect would definitely suffer a devastating disaster!"

"During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the various things our Western Sect did have already made the other saint forces resentful. If Ancestral Teachers Jieyin and Zhunti, who are the pillars of support, have any accidents, the other saint forces will definitely choose to target us without even thinking about it."

...

Heavenly Court, Hall of Universal Brightness.

The Primeval Lord of Heaven placed the cultivation resources he had obtained from the fleece in front of Haotian.

He muttered: "Originally, I wanted us to play the roles of the good cop and the bad cop, but who would have thought that Saint Jieyin would be so cooperative!"

Haotian smiled and said: "Compared to Saint Zhunti, Saint Jieyin is obviously more cunning."

"Let's divide these cultivation resources equally..."

Now, this battle against the Western Sect has basically come to an end.

The Primeval Lord of Heaven took his share of the cultivation resources and returned to Jade Void Palace.

Seeing that Jade Cauldron Taoist was still diligently cultivating the methods he had taught, the Primeval Lord of Heaven nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Good... good..."

Jade Cauldron Taoist felt a burst of bitterness in his heart upon hearing his master's praise.

What was good? If the Primeval Lord of Heaven hadn't said he would come back to check his homework before leaving.

Would he be working so hard!

Just as Jade Cauldron Taoist was complaining about the Primeval Lord of Heaven in his heart, a space ring was thrown over.

"Jade Cauldron, this is half of what we got from the two saints of the Western Sect. It's not very meaningful for me to keep these cultivation resources. I'll give them to you to use for breaking through to Quasi-Sage."

Jade Cauldron Taoist, who had just been slandering his master in his heart, felt a burst of guilt upon hearing this.

His master was so sincere towards him, what more could he ask for?

Putting away the space ring and seeing the large amount of cultivation resources neatly arranged inside, Jade Cauldron Taoist felt boundless joy surge in his heart.

"Thank you, Master!"

With so many cultivation resources appearing out of thin air, his wealth had definitely increased several times over.
