My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1100: Eager for Revenge
When Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Huanglong Zhenren heard him ask the question, their faces instantly turned bright red, and they wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Guang Chengzi covered his vital parts with both hands, shrinking his body even tighter, and stammered, "Fellow Daoist Yun... Yun Zhongzi, this is a long story. We... we'll find some clothes to cover ourselves first, and then I'll tell you in detail."

He was too ashamed to recount his humiliating and disarming experience in broad daylight, in front of his fellow disciples and juniors.

When they first heard Yun Zhongzi recount how he was defeated by Wen Rui in one move, they were quite disdainful and couldn't help but underestimate him.

Especially Chi Jingzi, whose physical body has turned to ashes and whose primordial spirit has been placed on the Six Soul Banner, whose words of mockery of Yun Zhongzi’s lack of cultivation were now vividly remembered. How proud he was in life, how much he must regret it now.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life. If only I had asked this younger man a few more questions before leaving the mountain, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

Master Yu Ding also lowered his head, not daring to look Yun Zhongzi in the eye, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Yes, let's find some clothes first. This appearance... is really indecent."

The thought that he had been forced to give up even the Immortal-Slaying Sword bestowed upon him by his master caused him a sharp pain in his heart, not to mention the humiliation of being naked at this moment.

Master Huanglong simply turned around, his back to Yun Zhongzi, and said with a hint of impatience, "Stop asking! Find some clothes first! Are you going to make us stand here like this forever?"

Although he was a dragon and had a forthright personality, he could not bear the embarrassment of such a public naked run-in, and his words were full of suppressed anger and humiliation.

Seeing that the three were being evasive and unwilling to talk, Yun Zhongzi knew that this was not the time to press them for answers. He quickly took out three spare plain-colored Daoist robes from his storage bag and handed them to the three: "Brothers, please put on your clothes first and come with me back to Yuxu Palace to rest for a while. We can talk about anything else after you have recovered."

The three Golden Immortals took the Taoist robes and hurriedly put them on. Even though the robes were large, they could not hide their disheveled state.

Guang Chengzi fastened his belt, took a deep breath, and said to Yun Zhongzi with a bitter smile, "This operation... we suffered a crushing defeat. Not only did we fail to wipe out Hunshi City, but we also... lost Fellow Daoist Chijingzi. Even our magic treasures and robes were taken away by that Jie Sect demon."

When Chi Jingzi was mentioned, his voice immediately lowered, filled with grief and self-blame.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi's pupils contracted sharply, and the surprise on his face turned into shock: "What? Brother Chijingzi has perished?"

Although he knew Wen Rui was not easy to deal with, he did not expect such a tragic ending—one Golden Immortal perished and three Golden Immortals were robbed of their treasures and disarmed. This was the first time in the history of the Chan Sect.

"It's shameful to say that we..." Master Yuding was about to recount the events in detail when Guangchengzi interrupted him.

Guang Chengzi shook his head, his tone heavy: "This matter is of great importance and must be reported to Master personally. Let's return to Yuxu Palace first, and discuss the details after Master emerges from seclusion."

He really didn't want to repeat the humiliating experience again, and only hoped to apologize to Yuanshi Tianzun as soon as possible and discuss subsequent countermeasures.

Seeing this, Yun Zhongzi didn't ask any more questions and nodded: "Alright, let's go back now."

While saying this, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. He had earnestly advised them to report to Yuanshi Tianzun first before making a decision and taking action.

As a result, his words carried little weight, and no one took them seriously. Everyone assumed that their own impulsive thoughts were the ultimate truth. In the great battle of the Investiture of the Gods, the Twelve Golden Immortals defeated the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Intercepting Sect, and they truly believed they possessed the strength of ten thousand immortals. Little did they know that the hard battles were won only with the help of external aid, by calling upon their masters and senior uncles to lend a hand.

Claiming credit for others' achievements as one's own will naturally lead to a mismatch between one's virtue and position, an overestimation of one's own abilities, and it is not surprising that one will suffer a crushing defeat.

Yun Zhongzi had long realized that Wen Rui's actions were not merely a simple restoration of the Jie Sect, but with his limited understanding, he was unable to make an accurate judgment. That was why he wanted to meet with Yuanshi Tianzun to receive the correct guidance from the Tianzun.

But now, things have developed beyond his imagination. Chi Jingzi has actually perished. Wen Rui's ruthlessness has once again exceeded Yun Zhongzi's expectations.

You should know that when he was defeated, Wen Rui did not make things difficult for him and let him return to Kunlun to report the news. So why did he kill Chi Jingzi this time?

Although Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Huang Long Zhenren were released, they were so tormented that they stripped off their Taoist robes and ran back to Kunlun Mountain naked.

He did indeed fly at high altitudes the entire way back, so the mortals below couldn't see him clearly.

Don't forget that the Heavenly Court above and the Western Spirit Mountain are full of gods and Buddhas with the supernatural power of far-seeing. The scene of their conflict with Wen Rui was watched by countless gods and Buddhas hiding behind the scenes.

The plight of the three Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect is probably already widely known among the gods and Buddhas. At least in the realm of gods and Buddhas, social death is a foregone conclusion.

If it's about settling personal scores or venting personal grievances, Chi Jingzi and Guang Chengzi had a blood feud with him for killing his father, Huanglong Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren had a hatred for him for destroying his sect, and Yun Zhongzi was also involved. He was present when Wen Zhong was killed, and he was also present when the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation killed the immortals of the Jie Sect. Why didn't they take revenge on him severely?
Filled with bewilderment, Yun Zhongzi led the three dejected Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect towards the direction of the Jade Void Palace.

Throughout the journey, the three Golden Immortals remained silent, a fierce glint occasionally flashing in their eyes, clearly recalling the various moments they had just experienced, their resentment and humiliation growing ever stronger.

Yun Zhongzi led the three Golden Immortals into the Jade Void Palace. The palace was shrouded in mist and clouds, and the main hall was empty, with no one on the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Throne.

Just as the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and Yun Zhongzi said before, the true body of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable has retreated into the Xuan Tian Secret Realm to meditate and comprehend the mysteries of the changes in the Heavenly Dao. Unless there is a major event that will overthrow the Three Realms, no one is allowed to disturb him.

This time, it wasn't Yun Zhongzi who was in a hurry to find Yuanshi Tianzun; Guang Chengzi, Huanglong Zhenren, and Yuding Zhenren were even more anxious than him.

Unfortunately, there's no use in being anxious. The sage is in seclusion, and unless a sage of the same level personally intervenes, it's impossible to break the sealing barrier set up to prevent external interference.

Back then, the Tongtian Sect Leader did the same thing, posting a sign outside the palace gate that read, "Keep the cave door tightly shut, quietly recite two or three volumes of the Yellow Court Classic; throw yourself into the Western Land, and your name will be on the Investiture of the Gods." All the Jie Sect immortals, even direct disciples who had attained the Hunyuan realm, such as the Golden Spirit Mother, the Three Immortal Maidens, Duobao Daoist, and Zhao Gongming, could only sigh in despair.

"Oh dear! I was so angry that I forgot that Master was in seclusion and forbade us to disturb him. What should we do now!"

Guang Chengzi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

He wanted to immediately apologize to his master and beg him to take action to avenge Chi Jingzi, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even see his master's face. His anxiety and humiliation grew stronger.
