My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1083 Natural Disasters, Man-made Calamities, Immortal Tribulation
According to these senior Daoist brothers, they are about to go to the mortal realm to wreak havoc, using the method of massacring Wen Rui's believers to force him to show himself, and then set up an ambush to capture him. Yun Zhongzi really finds this hard to accept.

“Fellow Daoists, the Demon Alliance is not only filled with innocent mixed-race children. Although the Demon Alliance gathers many demons, those demons have been educated, abide by the law, and have not committed any evil deeds, nor have they oppressed or killed humans. They are quite different from the demons you all remember.”

With a pained expression, he advised, "The humans who join the Demon Alliance are not evil people who act as accomplices to tyrants. All they seek is a peaceful and prosperous life, nothing more."

"They don't deserve to die... Besides, using them to lure Wen Rui into an ambush is just too immoral, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Chi Jingzi all looked at Yun Zhongzi with strange eyes, making Yun Zhongzi feel like an oddball.

"Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongzi, didn't you say that the so-called people of the Demon Alliance have all been indoctrinated by the Jie Sect, meaning they are all disciples of the Jie Sect?"

Guang Chengzi spoke first, his tone somewhat unfriendly: "Since you are all disciples of the Jie Sect, and under Wen Rui's instigation, you have attempted to taint the human bloodline and sever the orthodoxy of the human race, then you have brought this upon yourselves and will not live. When faced with a desperate situation, you will not be able to escape death, and it will be too late for regrets. This is the will of Heaven!"

"The number of days? What number of days? I can't sense it."

Yun Zhongzi channeled his remaining immortal power, attempting to comprehend the secrets of heaven and understand the destiny that his senior Daoist brothers, Guang Chengzi and others, had spoken so confidently about, but he could not comprehend anything.

"Hmph, you never served Master back then, and you've been wandering around all these years. I'm afraid you've long forgotten Master's teachings and have a problem understanding our sect's doctrines!"

Chi Jingzi, his face cold, bowed towards the main hall of Yuxu Palace and the Dao Palace of Yuanshi Tianzun as he spoke: "Seven hundred years ago, when the Master broke the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he stated: If the formation is broken tomorrow, this sect must be completely wiped out to eradicate their falsehoods. The Master has ordered that all those wicked beasts of the Jie Sect may be killed by everyone, and that eradicating their lineage is the best course of action. Why are you now pleading for those wicked beasts?"

Master Yu Ding had a kind and gentle face, but now his gaze was cold: "I used to show you some leniency because we were fellow disciples, but now you've reverted to your old ways and are about to make a big mistake because of your soft heart. As your senior brother, I have no choice but to teach you a lesson."

"Back then, didn't you go to Chaoge to meet King Zhou, hoping to help him subdue the fox demon and premeditatedly quell the fox demon's calamity?"

"Do you know that you almost ruined our sect's great cause? If you had really captured that fox demon, the fate of heaven would have been disrupted, and how would we have quelled the great calamity that followed?"

"Do you think that by quelling the fox demon's calamity in advance, mortals in the human world will suffer less? If you truly subdue the fox demon, you will overturn the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and the choices of humanity will take precedence. The entire human race will rebel against the Heavenly Order, and a great calamity will be unstoppable. The Three Realms may even cease to exist!"

Yun Zhongzi sighed inwardly, feeling that he was simply unable to communicate with these senior Daoist brothers. Perhaps it was because his cultivation was insufficient and his Dao heart was not firm enough, and he had not yet cultivated the Supreme Ruthless True Essence like them.

These senior Daoist brothers all made outstanding contributions during the Investiture of the Gods war.

When the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was broken, Guang Chengzi raised the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, Chi Jingzi raised the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, Dao Xing Tianzun raised the Immortal Trapping Sword, and Yu Ding Zhenren raised the Immortal Severing Sword. Several streams of black energy shot into the sky, covering the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and carrying out a large-scale massacre of the Jie Sect disciples. The killing was so intense that it darkened the sky and earth. The Jie Sect disciples were killed as easily as cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

The vast majority of the immortals of the Jie Sect died at the hands of these few killing gods.

Struck by the chaotic sword energy, they were instantly annihilated, their bodies and souls reduced to ashes and completely vanished into the world. Some might call this practice of utterly destroying intelligent life, leaving only inorganic matter, an evil war crime, but they call it efficient. The immortals of the Chan Sect, especially these few, seemed to have no qualms about committing acts of killing, and they even killed disciples of the Jie Sect with righteous indignation.

Back when Taiyi Zhenren killed Shiji Niangniang, who had spared Nezha's life, he shamelessly declared: "You are from the Jie Sect, and I am from the Chan Sect. Because we have not severed our three corpses for 1,500 years, we have broken the precept against killing. Therefore, we were born into the human world to fight and kill in order to complete this calamity. It is the will of Heaven that we injured your disciple."

Translate this into words: My Chan Sect was born to kill your Jie Sect; it's ordained by Heaven!
It is said that domestic violence is either a one-time thing or a recurring occurrence. They have already killed ten thousand Jiejiao immortals, so what difference would it make if they killed millions or tens of millions of Jiejiao disciples?
After killing, all you have to do is say, "It's fate," and you'll feel at ease and your mind will be at peace.

Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but think of the other predecessors who had joined the Western Sect. Upon careful consideration, he realized that those individuals were not too bloodthirsty and had not stained their hands with too much of the blood of the Jie Sect immortals. This was why they had a way out and still had time to turn back.

As for the few people in this side hall, even if they wanted to join the Western Paradise, Buddha probably wouldn't dare to accept them. Otherwise, even if the entire sect ate vegetarian food, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and prayed for blessings for several years, it wouldn't be enough to clear up the karmic debts on these few people.

Yun Zhongzi's anxiety finally died down. He realized that he and they were no longer the same kind of immortals, and their paths were different, so they could not work together.

With a helpless sigh, Yun Zhongzi said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid that when I was fighting with Wen Rui, his evil spiritual magic damaged my soul and distorted my Dao heart, which is why I said such things. I hope you fellow Daoists will be understanding and not blame me."

Master Yuding's expression softened slightly. He took out a jade bottle from his robes and handed it to Yun Zhongzi: "This is a Soul-Stabilizing Pill that I refined. It has a miraculous effect on repairing the soul. Take one pill every day, and your soul damage will be repaired in seven days. From now on, don't go back to Zhongnan Mountain. Stay at Kunlun Jade Void Palace and listen to your master's teachings to avoid your Dao heart becoming weak and your soul becoming easily influenced by evil thoughts."

"Thank you, Brother Dao..."

Yun Zhongzi felt like he had eaten shit, but he could only pretend to be grateful and accept the pill bestowed by Master Yuding.

Originally, Yun Zhongzi wanted to remind these fellow Daoists that Wen Rui had comprehended the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and developed a set of profound divine abilities to protect his body from the Chaos Domain. In addition, he had also created tens of thousands of puppet legions with extremely high martial arts levels. However, Yun Zhongzi had lost the mood for this.

He even began to worry about the safety of the citizens of the new coastal city, and even more so about the demonic insect girl who had taken him in for a while, was infatuated with him, and was very lusting after his body.

That city, while not exactly a paradise on earth, was a prosperous and livable city; while not entirely populated by virtuous people, it was a civilized nation whose overall quality and the moral character of its citizens were unparalleled in the world.

Because the entire city is a follower of the Jie Sect, and 80 percent of the citizens are demons and monsters, an unexpected disaster is about to befall them.

This disaster was neither a natural calamity nor a man-made one; if one had to define it, it could only be called a celestial tribulation.

Just like the common people of the Shang Dynasty seven hundred years ago, even though there were loyal and virtuous officials in the court, brave generals on the frontier, and an upright and benevolent prince, they were all brought to ruin by a demon sent by Nuwa and a vague destiny. This led to a celestial calamity in which gods fought and mortals suffered. They were about to lose their country and their race, become displaced, lose everything, and be far from their homeland, only able to survive by wandering and doing business.
