My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1084 Peak of Fortune
Four golden rays cleaved through the clouds in the direction of Kunlun Mountain. Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, and Yu Ding Zhenren flew side by side through the air. Their figures swept across the night sky, their robes fluttering as they resembled four dazzling shooting stars streaking across the heavens.

Yun Zhongzi originally wanted to use the excuse of damaged soul to lie and say that he had temporarily forgotten the location of the demon alliance city where he was hiding, but Guang Chengzi did not need him to provide any accurate coordinates. He just calculated it with his fingers.

While it may not be accurate enough to predict the future, it works exceptionally well for simple information like current spatial and temporal coordinates, almost rivaling the performance of internet-connected AI search engines.

There's no need for any calculations. Just stand atop Mount Kunlun and look towards the Southern Continent. Wherever the fortune is at its peak, that must be the city that Yun Zhongzi spoke of, jointly established by the demon, monster, and human races.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Yun Zhongzi could only use his severe injuries as an excuse to refuse to lead the way, saying that he wanted to stay in Yuxu Palace to recuperate, but in reality, he had other plans in mind.

The Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect didn't force him to go along. Perhaps they were considering that if they brought Yun Zhongzi along, one of them would have to protect him. Otherwise, he would become their biggest weakness. If Wen Rui were to become desperate and use Yun Zhongzi as a threat, they would be hesitant to act decisively and would be unable to fully exert their power.

Slaughtering the disciples of the Jie Sect was no big deal for these immortals; it felt much like swatting a mosquito or stepping on a cockroach. But the infamy of harming their own fellow disciples was something none of them wanted to bear.

When the immortals of the Chan Sect fight against the masters of the Jie Sect, it is generally only when all three of them attack together that they can barely achieve a draw, and only when one of them launches a sneak attack can they secure a victory.

Just like when the three great monks besieged the Golden Spirit Mother, the Taoist Ran Deng launched a sneak attack from the side.

For example, in the killing of Zhao Gongming, nine of the Twelve Golden Immortals were mobilized. They relied on the power of a celestial immortal to seize the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and only managed to end the matter by asking a powerful strategist to cast a curse.

Anyway, they are righteous immortals who follow the way of Heaven. When dealing with the Jie Sect demons who rebel against the Heavenly Order, they don't need to follow any rules of the martial arts world. If a righteous gang fight doesn't kill them, then they will curse them to death with a righteous curse. It can't be said that they don't follow the virtues of immortals.

“Fellow Daoists, although Wen Rui is a junior of the Jie Sect, according to Yun Zhongzi’s description, he is by no means an ordinary person.”

Based on the deduced location, Guang Chengzi took the lead, guiding the other three Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. The immortals flew at extremely high speed, quickly traversing thousands of miles, and were not far from their destination.

A battle of wits may be about to begin. Guang Chengzi reminded him, "Although Yun Zhongzi's temperament and cultivation are far inferior to ours, his fighting skills are among the best in the sect. Yet he was defeated by Wen Rui in one move. It seems that the younger generation of the Wen family has surpassed his father, perfectly inheriting and even developing his father's family martial arts. He is no ordinary person and should not be underestimated."

"Hehe..." Before Yu Ding Zhenren and Huang Long Zhenren could reply, Chi Jingzi sneered: "Yun Zhongzi is really going backwards in his cultivation. Back then, he was timid and hesitant to venture into the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation with us. He was lucky enough to preserve the Three Flowers on his head and the Five Qi in his chest, and thus avoided the calamity of his cultivation level falling."

"As a result, we regained our cultivation, but he has become so degenerate. It is truly laughable and lamentable."

"Chijingzi, what makes you say that?"

Chi Jingzi laughed smugly, "Back then, when you and I surrounded and killed Wen Zhong, we beat that so-called contemporary genius of the Jie Sect to a pulp in just a few rounds. He couldn't even escape and died instantly. Wen Zhong's meager cultivation is not worth mentioning. Even if his son is stronger than his father, how much stronger can he be?" "Wen Zhong's martial arts cultivation is indeed remarkable, and he can exchange a few blows with you. But when the two of us unleash our magic weapons, he is powerless to resist. If his son doesn't have any magic weapons to protect him, even if his martial arts cultivation is higher, the ending will be the same."

Guang Chengzi remained silent for a moment, unable to think of any rebuttal, but felt a sense of unease in his heart. He frowned and said, "In short, it's best to be careful. I always feel that Yun Zhongzi has something else on his mind, but I don't know why he hasn't told us clearly."

……

The four streaks of light were only a few hundred miles away from the new coastal city. When they were still a few hundred miles away from the city, Guang Chengzi suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop on the clouds. He closed his eyes slightly and a wisp of spiritual light condensed at his fingertips and brushed across his brow.

As Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, "Observing Qi and Fortune" is a fundamental technique that allows them to discern the essence of things from the flow of Qi in heaven and earth. Seeing this, the other three also activated their cultivation, and four invisible divine senses spread out like a spider web, probing towards the city inhabited by demons and humans.

Upon seeing this, all four immortals showed expressions of surprise.

In places where demons usually gather, the aura is usually shrouded in black mist and is chaotic and mixed. But above the city in front of us, there is a thick layer of purple mist!

The purple aura was not the spiritual light of immortals cultivating their powers, but rather the fortune of "civilization flourishing." The purple aura flowed like waves over the city, interspersed with countless tiny points of light, which were signs of the city's inhabitants living in peace and contentment and feeling a sense of belonging. What was even more remarkable was that there was no trace of hostility or impurity in the purple aura; on the contrary, it was a scene of thriving clarity, like a human holy city at its peak.

"This...how is this possible?"

Chi Jingzi withdrew his divine sense, his eyes filled with disbelief: "If such purple aura appeared in the capital of the human race, it would surely be a sign of a prosperous era, meaning that the king is wise, the ministers are of one mind, the people are at peace, and the system is so complete that it can win the hearts of the people. It would be a sign of a dynasty's golden age that is rare in a thousand years! But this is a city built by the remnants of the Jie Sect!"

Master Yu Ding frowned, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the hilt of the Immortal-Slaying Sword: "I once witnessed the aura of Haojing during the height of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the purple aura above Haojing was not as strong as that of this city. But Haojing gathered such a fortune through 'governing the world with rites and educating people with benevolence and virtue.' In this city, humans, demons, and monsters are in cahoots, interbreeding and multiplying, committing immoral acts. This is against the natural order of Heaven!"

Guang Chengzi took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and his gaze hardened again: "Don't be fooled by appearances! When the Wu and Yao tribes were at their peak, weren't they also shrouded in purple aura? Although their fortunes were strong, they followed the evil path, the demonic path, the monstrous path. Humans, demons, and monsters are not on the same path, and forcibly coexisting violates the natural order. Today's 'prosperity' is merely the temporary suppression of inter-tribal conflicts by chaotic energy, and it will backfire sooner or later. As Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, we must not allow such 'evil civilization' to continue to spread!"

The immortals were delayed for a moment when a commotion suddenly broke out on the outskirts of the city below. Dozens of silver-white metal towers surrounding the city simultaneously lit up with red light, their tips glowing with a faint blue light, instantly weaving into a dense energy net above the city.

Even before getting close, one can feel the violent power contained within the energy network, far surpassing any ordinary magical defense.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of dark blue energy beams shot out from the top of the tower, raining down on the four Golden Immortals. Wherever the beams passed, the air was scorched and made a "sizzling" sound, and even space itself was slightly distorted.
