My brother is so cunning

Chapter 993: Concealing evil intentions
Once outside the Immortal Palace of Creation, Yun Zhongzi finally felt relieved. This place was not far from the Lingxiao Palace, and even if that villain Wen Rui wanted to use a feigned retreat tactic, he wouldn't openly plot against him under the Jade Emperor's nose.

"Uncle-Master Yun Zhongzi, you've finally come out! I was so worried! I was even thinking of going to find Master and ask Ancestor Yuanshi to come forward and rescue him."

He had only flown a short distance on the cloud when he heard a shout from behind.

He stopped on the cloud, turned around and saw an immortal with long arms and eyes in his arms riding on the cloud and chasing after him.

"Nephew Yang?"

The other party's appearance was so distinctive that Yun Zhongzi immediately recognized him as Yang Ren, a disciple of his senior brother, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.

Yang Renfei approached Yun Zhongzi and looked him up and down. Yun Zhongzi instinctively turned his face away, not wanting this junior to see the purple circles under his eyes from being beaten by the metal puppet.

But he quickly realized that the Golden Immortal's indestructible body had an amazing recovery ability. After a period of time, the minor injury had already healed completely and was no longer noticeable.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that he hadn't continued to be stubborn and refuse in the main hall. Otherwise, even if the injuries he sustained from the brutal beating by those puppets could be healed, his Taoist robe would probably be torn to shreds, which would be a disgrace and he would be too ashamed to show his face.

"I only just heard from others that you, Uncle Master, were escorted into the Creation Immortal Palace by the Creation Celestial Venerable's demon-subduing puppet. When I arrived outside the palace, I was unsure whether I should break in to rescue you, but I found that you had already come out."

Yang Ren said with lingering fear, "You really scared me. You have a blood feud with the Creation Celestial Venerable. He is not someone to be trifled with. He holds grudges very well. Among the gods of the Heavenly Court, everyone who offended him in the past has been severely punished. Even if they didn't die, they were all badly hurt."

"What? That thief is this fierce now?"

Yun Zhongzi said incredulously, "The Jade Emperor just sits by and watches him persecute loyal and virtuous people? And why doesn't my senior uncle, Laozi, step in to do anything about it?"

"That's a long story..."

Yang Ren smiled wryly, "The celestial officials who were punished by him weren't entirely innocent; they all had some flaws and weaknesses, and it was inconvenient for His Majesty and his grandmaster to intervene..."

Yang Ren was referring to the anti-corruption storm in Heaven that Wen Rui and his son had previously stirred up. In this storm, those who suffered the most were the celestial officials who came from the Chan Sect and the old officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who were Wen Rui's enemies.

It's not that all the celestial officials from the Jie Sect and the Yin Shang Dynasty were virtuous and upright; it's just that they were not favored by the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court and could not obtain high-ranking and lucrative positions. They were mostly marginalized star lords or lowly clerks in insignificant departments, so they had little opportunity to be corrupt.

"Uncle-Master, did Little Celestial Venerable Wen make things difficult for you?"

“He wouldn’t dare!” Yun Zhongzi raised his head and said, “His father would respectfully address me as ‘Brother Dao’ when he sees me. How could a mere child like him dare to be disrespectful to an elder like me?”

"Uncle-Master, be careful what you say!"

Yang Ren looked around nervously, even spreading his divine sense to probe the surroundings. He lowered his voice and said, "That kid has a secret technique of creation, and he is best at eavesdropping. Ever since he was conferred the title of god and ascended to heaven, it seems that he has secretly recorded everything that happens in the Heavenly Court, big or small, and can take it out to prove it at any time. When he was dealing with the gods of the Heavenly Court, he produced a lot of irrefutable video evidence, which confirmed his crimes and left people with no way to refute them."

"Moreover, that fellow is a hypocrite, ruthless and vicious. If he catches you doing something wrong, it's fine if you haven't offended him, but if you do, he will harm you sooner or later."

Yun Zhongzi was stunned, and said in disbelief again, "How is this possible? In just two hundred years, how could he have mastered such extraordinary skills, rising from a mere mortal to become the supreme being who overshadows all the gods?" "Who says otherwise!"

Yang Renyi said helplessly, "It's all Taibai Jinxing's fault for meddling and instigating the Jade Emperor to recruit him to serve in Heaven. It's like inviting a wolf into the house!"

After saying this, Yang Ren suddenly became alert, and the two hands that grew from his eye sockets instinctively covered his mouth, not daring to utter another word.

"No, I must go see the Jade Emperor and explain in detail. Just now in the Creation Palace, I saw that scoundrel raising hundreds of private soldiers. Each of those metal puppets is a martial arts master, and their strength is no less than that of a top-level divine general. How can this continue!"

Yun Zhongzi frowned and said in a low voice, "Is the Jade Emperor afraid to touch him because he's afraid of alerting him? That makes sense. His father is the Thunder God, his grandmaster is Doumu Yuanjun, and his relatives and fellow disciples occupy half of the eight departments of the Heavenly Court. But to let him continue to grow stronger is tantamount to raising a tiger to cause trouble. I must advise Your Majesty to eliminate this traitor as soon as possible!"

"No, no! It's all too late! The Heavenly Court can't withstand any more turmoil, and neither can the Three Realms!"

Yang Ren quickly grabbed Yun Zhongzi, shaking his head in alarm, and said, "The few hundred demon-slaying puppets in the Creation Immortal Palace are just the tip of the iceberg. Now, the Creation Celestial Venerable has been mass-producing more than ten thousand demon-slaying puppets. It is said that he can produce several hundred puppets every day on his assembly line, and he says that he will completely replace the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals!"

"what!"

Yun Zhongzi could hardly believe his ears and wondered if he had misheard.

There are already tens of thousands of super puppets capable of severely beating him, a peak Golden Immortal?

Moreover, hundreds of units can be manufactured in a single day.

It took him over three thousand years to reach the peak Golden Immortal realm. This was only because of his exceptional talent and the favor of his master, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who bestowed upon him countless top-tier cultivation resources, allowing him to progress so rapidly.

"How could His Majesty the Jade Emperor allow him to create such an extremely dangerous puppet?"

"That's a long story. If we hadn't created puppets, the mortal realm would still be a desolate wasteland."

Yang Ren said helplessly, "Uncle-Master, you have been in seclusion for far too long. The Heavenly Court and the mortal realm are different from the past. They are changing rapidly, with one change every day. If you waste even a little time, you will miss many important changes."

"The causes and effects are complicated, and this disciple cannot foresee the future trend, nor does he know whether it will be a blessing or a curse."

Yang Ren said worriedly, "I originally wanted to go to the Kunlun sect to report to Master and all my senior uncles and elder brothers about the great changes in the Three Realms caused by Wen Rui in the past two hundred years, but they are all in seclusion like you. I am anxious but there is nothing I can do."

At this point, Yang Ren used his divine sense to communicate with Yun Zhongzi in an encrypted call: "Uncle-Master, among all the seniors of the Chan Sect, you have the most discerning eyes. Back then, when the demon fox was just beginning to show its signs, you saw through it in advance. Please carefully investigate and search the Three Realms, clearly discern Wen Rui's actions, record them, and report them to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Ancestor for his judgment."

"If Wen Rui harbors evil intentions and is about to cause an unprecedented disaster, only the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, along with all the masters and elders of our Chan Sect, can uphold justice and punish that traitor."

Yun Zhongzi understood immediately and nodded silently. His gaze passed over the worried Yang Ren and fell on the magnificent and imposing Creation Palace complex in the distance, as if deep in thought.
