My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1035 Attack in groups
Meanwhile, inside the Doufu Immortal Palace, the brilliant starlight filled the main hall, and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother sat in the main seat, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, her body surrounded by a faint mysterious light.

The Holy Mother's exquisite and supreme divine face was now clouded with gloom, her brows furrowed as she gazed at the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable who stood respectfully below the steps.

"Master, please calm down..."

"It can't be stopped!"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Little Zhong'er, how spirited you were back then, yet you're not even as promising as your son now!"

Wen Zhong sighed inwardly, looked up at the Golden Spirit Mother, his brows furrowed into a knot: "Holy Mother, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Hmph, go ahead and say it!"

“Creation God… my rebellious son is probably not a blessing for our Jie Sect.”

Wen Zhong's voice was tinged with difficulty: "There is a saying that no one knows a son better than his father, and there is also a common saying in the mortal world that 'you can see a person's future at the age of three.' That child has been bad since he was a child... He is wicked. When he was three years old, I opened my Heavenly Eye to see him and I could see that he pretended to be innocent and pure, but his heart was churning with dark and complicated evil thoughts."

The Golden Spirit Mother asked in surprise, "A three-year-old child, still breastfeeding, right? He's at an age where he's still innocent and unaware of the mysteries of his birth. How could you possibly know that he has a wicked heart?"

“Master, my third eye between my eyebrows can distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Although my rebellious son is young, his divine eye is filled with black aura and obscured by karma.”

"Hmph, you really do treasure that deformed eye of yours. If your eye were useful, why are there so many treacherous officials in power in the Yin Shang court?"

The Golden Spirit Mother said sarcastically, "Why didn't you see that Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was the biggest traitor of the Jie Sect beforehand? It was your son who reminded me many times to be wary of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian. I really regret not listening to his advice back then and even mocking him. As a result, that traitor stole the array diagram, causing all my efforts to be in vain."

"Oh, right!"

As if suddenly remembering something, the Golden Spirit Mother continued, "It was your rebellious son, who never learned anything good from a young age, who avenged the innocent and tragically killed disciples of my Jie Sect, casting that traitor who betrayed his master into the Path of Annihilation. If that traitor had become a Buddha, what would their sacrifices have become?"

A few words struck Wen Zhong right to the heart, leaving him speechless and bowing his head.

"I am only worried that my rebellious son has always acted impulsively and was eager for quick success. On the mortal battlefield between Yin Shang and Da Zhou, he has repeatedly devised poisonous schemes and committed boundless killings."

"He has only been a god for a little over two hundred years, yet he has already conceived the idea of ​​monopolizing the incense offerings of the Heavenly Court for the use of the Jie Sect. Even if we, the disciples of the Jie Sect, benefit from this, it is far too radical and will surely cause turmoil and strife, with endless consequences. Moreover, his motives are highly suspicious. Even though this kid's merits and spiritual light are now soaring to the heavens, when I look at him with my divine eyes open, there is still a cloud of black mist surrounding him."

Wen Zhong waited until the Holy Mother had finished speaking before slowly saying, "The blood of the Investiture of the Gods war hasn't dried yet, and the Three Realms have only enjoyed less than a thousand years of peace. Do we want to start another war between the three religions for the sake of one person?"

The Golden Spirit Mother's phoenix eyes suddenly opened, a profound light surging within them: "Wen Zhong, have you forgotten the grievances that the disciples of the Jie Sect have suffered in the Three Realms over the years? The Chan Sect holds important positions in the Heavenly Court, while we are demoted to guard desolate and remote star realms, and even our offerings are seven times less than those of others!"

“Junior Brother Wen, you hold a high-ranking official position, wielding the power of thunder and lightning to punish the wicked and eliminate evil. Even your minor post of controlling clouds and rain can still benefit the incense offerings of mortals praying for rain.”

Inside the celestial palace, a group of star lords stood by.

One of the star officials could not contain himself any longer. Ignoring the fact that Wen Zhong's official rank was several levels higher than his, he addressed him directly by their seniority and said, "It just goes to show the saying in the mortal world: the well-fed do not know the hunger of the starving! You look down on the little bit of incense that Junior Nephew Wen has won for us, but we are like parched land finally receiving rain. We have been waiting for this day for far too long."

“Yes,” another star official chimed in. “Even tigers don’t eat their cubs. I, too, dote on my little tiger cubs. How can you, a human, dislike your own son?” This star official, with a human body and a tiger’s head, covered in white fur, was none other than the White Tiger Star Lord. He narrowed his tiger eyes and said, “Speaking of cunning and treachery, the Chan Sect is the best of the best. Back then, Guang Chengzi killed the Fire Spirit Mother and even took her crown to Biyou Palace to flaunt it in front of the sect leader, claiming that he was acting in accordance with Heaven’s will and had no intention of being enemies with the Jie Sect. He said the Fire Spirit Mother deserved to die. That was what you call treacherous!”

"With your incredibly sharp eyes, how could you not see that Guang Chengzi is a shameless villain who is sowing discord, provoking the wrath of the Tongtian Ancestor, and leading more than ten thousand immortals of my sect into the heavenly calamity they have brought upon themselves by committing murder?"

"They have enjoyed the offerings of incense in the mortal world for so many years, while we have only just begun to taste the sweetness of it, and now they want to cause chaos in the world. What kind of logic is this!"

A star lord with a wolf's head and a human body stepped forward and said, "I smell a familiar scent. It's the same old formula, the same rhetoric from the Chan Sect. They say we've violated the Heavenly Way, that we've overturned the Heavenly Order, and then they'll label us as of lowly birth, take everything from us, and erase everything from us!"

"Kui Mulang is right!"

"well said!"

“We can all see through it, so why can’t you, with your divine eyes, understand it?”

Inside the hall, a group of star lords and officials began to speak, each voicing their condemnation and criticism of Wen Zhong.

"They say a tiger father begets no dog son, but it's the other way around; a tiger son has a dog father."

A star lord with a dog's head and a human body grinned and said, "If I had such a promising son, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. But you, you've been on guard since he was three years old. Are you afraid that he will overshadow your achievements and prestige? Are you afraid that in the future, when mortals mention you, they will only remember that you are the father of the Creator God and forget that you are the official in charge of thunder?"

"Oh, right, mortals can make lightning rods now, so they're not afraid of lightning anymore. It's normal that they forgot about you."

"Lou Jingou, don't you dare make false accusations!"

Wen Zhong could tolerate the words of his fellow disciples and star lords, but Lou Jingou's sarcasm was too hurtful, making Wen Zhong's face change color in anger, and streaks of lightning appeared and disappeared around him.

"You're in such a hurry..."

Lou Jingou stuck out his tongue and laughed, "Senior Brother Wen, stop trying to scare me with your lousy lightning. I used to think the power of thunder was terrifying, and I'd be scared stiff by a clap of thunder. But now I've studied electricity, electromagnetism, and meteorology..."

Counting on his fingers as if reciting a familiar story, Lou Jingou named several books on new knowledge from the Jie Sect: "Hey, I'm suddenly not afraid anymore. Come and chop me up, chop me up!"

While mocking him, he also lifted up the Star Lord's Taoist robe, revealing an anti-electric shock suit woven with fine iron mesh underneath.

Wen Zhong glanced at the anti-electric suit, and the lightning that had appeared beside him gradually went out. He felt as if all his energy had been drained away, and he slumped down helplessly.

Mortals wearing anti-electric suits can remain unharmed under the baptism of lightning. On the video website of the tablet computer sold in the Heavenly Court's black market, there are many videos filmed and uploaded by mortals playing with lightning while wearing anti-electric suits.

Those mortals were even better at manipulating electricity than Thor himself. They built an electromagnetic coil tower that danced with lightning and music, creating a spectacular display of sparks and flashes.
