Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 87 Undercurrent
When the news of Mingzi's death spread, the martial arts world was in an uproar and Longhu Mountain was shaken.

The current head of the Tianshi Mansion is Tongxuanzi, one of the Seven Sons of Taoism, named Zhang Tongxuan, with the courtesy name Zhongda. He is the eleventh head of Longhu Mountain and the son of Zhang Zixiang, the previous Tianshi and the tenth head.

In this respect, it is indeed a major feature and miracle of the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master! A miracle!
Starting with Zhang Daoling, the first headmaster and "Ancestor of Taoism" at Longhu Mountain during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who established Taoism there, a full twenty-eight generations have followed, spanning most of history. Each generation of Longhu Mountain headmasters has been passed down from father to son, without exception or interruption. It's truly remarkable!
Confucius does not speak of strange things, but there are gods above our heads. Perhaps there really are gods, otherwise it would be difficult to explain!
The appearance of Zhimingzi there this time was indeed intentional by Longhu Mountain, mainly to test the attitude of the rising famous King Jingwu Xiao Ying towards Taoism.

In addition, there are indeed many Taoists who support King Shangliang. After all, he is one of the three major rebel kings in Jiangnan, comes from a prominent family, and has the highest and most upright status.

The reason why the Tianshi Mansion chose Zhi Mingzi to come forward was based on comprehensive considerations.

Standing behind Zhimingzi was not only Zhiyuanzi, one of the Seven Sons of Taoism, but also Tongxuanzi and even the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain.

Normally speaking, this identity and background is indeed enough to dominate the world, and all forces that visit will treat him as a guest of honor!

Who knows, plans may not keep up with changes.

Mingzi's personal will, temperament, and the strength of those around King Jingwu are all huge variables, which makes Zhang Tianshi, who is "proficient in divination and has made every possible plan"... still miss something!

"Yes!"

The disciple who delivered the message trembled and replied, "It is said that... Prince Jingwu was furious, and Princess Fengming attacked... They clashed for a moment, and before Elder Mingzi could escape, resist, or cast a spell, he was instantly killed by Dugu Feng..."

"This...this King Jingwu is so brave!"

Zhang Tianshi's face turned ashen, his white beard and robe fluttering in the wind. He was furious and didn't know how to comment on this matter. After a pause, he cursed fiercely:

"This Zhimingzi... has truly been bewildered by the mundane world! Does he really think everyone will indulge him? How can he so recklessly comment on the imperial court... or even Empress Xiao?"

He finished speaking, his anger still lingering. "What's even more damning is... He's usually so arrogant and thinks he's invincible... Not only can he not defeat Princess Fengming, but he was instantly defeated by a little girl? Incompetent!"

Tong Xuanzi was able to take charge of the Taoist temple Longhu Mountain, and he was also practicing Taoism. He was also the supreme celestial being, so naturally he had extraordinary wisdom.

He was truly furious upon hearing this. At that moment, he wished he could abolish his sect...show off his power and fame, display the wrath of the Heavenly Master, the might of dragons and tigers. He even wanted to rally the Daoists and unleash his wrath...

As soon as I heard what happened, I knew that Zhimingzi's death was not unjust. I wanted to hold Empress Xiao, Prince Jingwu and the Sui Dynasty accountable, but I didn't know what reason to use!

As the saying goes, if a teacher has a good reputation, he will be successful.

If the army has no legitimate reason to fight, the people will be resentful, morale will be low, and nothing will be accomplished. This is a big taboo!

"Master! How should our sect react..."

Zhang Tianshi dared to scold, but the disciples did not dare to listen any more. Thinking of the mission given by the elders of the sect, they gritted their teeth and asked for instructions!
"roll!"

Zhang Tianshi, still furious and full of resentment, cursed in a rather out-of-control manner, frightening his disciples so much that they almost ran away in panic. Then Zhang Tianshi continued:

"Wait! Investigate King Jingwu thoroughly. If we can obtain his hair, skin, flesh, etc., even better. We will spare no expense!"

"Yes!"

"Strange! Why can't I divine the King of Jingwu? All I get is nothingness, as if this person doesn't exist in the world... Even if I use ancient treasures and immortal artifacts, I can only see a golden light and blood..."

Looking at his disciples fleeing in panic, Zhang Tianshi counted with his fingers. Even with the help of Zhimingzi's clue, he still couldn't figure out anything. Instead, his blood was boiling, his mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself in confusion and distress:

"Perhaps Prince Jingwu is also one of the Demon Stars, with a destiny? Or perhaps he possesses a treasure? That's why it's impossible to predict..."

"Could it be that the secrets passed down by Qiling Temple are true... Prince Jingwu is gifted with extraordinary talents. He is either a great Buddha or a great demon..."

"It's not appropriate to make an enemy of such a person. Is it worth making an enemy..."

At the same time, at Jingyun Temple on Nantuo Mountain.

Zhi Yuanzi was meditating when he suddenly felt something in his heart. His eyes opened, and the room was filled with light. He began to count with his fingers...

As one of the Seven Sons of Taoism, Zhi Yuanzi also taught one of the next generation of Taoism's two prides... Li Chunfeng is naturally also proficient in divination, and is even better than Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain!

"Junior brother... why do you bother with worldly affairs..."

After a moment, Zhi Yuanzi muttered to himself, his face full of grief and anger.

He stood up, walked out of the secret room, and looked towards Jiangdu...

"Prince Jingwu! Although my junior brother made a mistake, his crime does not deserve death. You shouldn't have killed him so ruthlessly..."

……

There was an uproar in the martial arts world.

Even the major forces were discussing it constantly, and most of them were gloating over the misfortune!

Today, the Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu has become famous, and it dominates Xiandu, and has obtained the relics of the Sui Emperor... and even the heritage of the Great Sui Dynasty. However, this has caused many rebel and anti-military forces to pay close attention and be wary of them.

Now, the Jiangdu court has not yet achieved any glorious deeds, but it has already provoked Longhu Mountain, provoked two of the Seven Sons of Taoism, and even a small half of Taoism. There is a good show to watch!
More importantly, many people and forces with ulterior motives deliberately spread rumors, especially Zhi Mingzi's remarks, to smear the Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu, King Jingwu, Empress Xiao, etc. This has both advantages and disadvantages!
"Have you heard? The newly rising King Jingwu killed Zhimingzi as soon as he left Jiangdu..."

"Serves him right! Instead of cultivating his Dao properly, what is he talking nonsense about? Empress Xiao is unparalleled in benevolence and virtue. If she is not the orthodox one, then who is the orthodox one?"

"Is this true? Isn't Zhimingzi a close friend of Zhiyuanzi and a powerful elder at Mount Longhu? How dare Prince Jingwu kill him? Why did he kill him?"

"Amitabha! Donor Zhimingzi truly deserves death for defaming the Empress. This matter can be made public. On behalf of the Buddhist sect, I would like to ask Longhu Mountain: Is this the intention of the Heavenly Master's Mansion? Or is it the intention of the Taoist sect?"

"Hehehe... Well done! You're truly a natural-born demon! Contact King Jingwu immediately. Our Heavenly Demon Sect is willing to do everything in our power to help him conquer the world..."

"Ah... what's the point? Prince Jingwu is being impulsive! Students who want to go to the academy in Jiangdu, please be cautious..."

"What exactly is hidden in the Sui Emperor's legacy? How could Princess Fengming and the Dugu family's daughter become so powerful? Even Zhimingzi is no match for them? Should we try to join them?"

"If even two delicate girls can be elevated to such a level, then isn't this the hope of this old man?"

"Decisive and decisive! A natural born warrior! Brothers, join King Jingwu and fight for wealth and glory..."

……

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are bright, and everything is quiet.

The fleet is sailing, the river is surging, it is so refreshing!
After Mingzi's death, most of the peepers were scared away on the spot.

A few hours later, more people appeared around, some of them came out of curiosity, most of them were loyalists, and there were no revenge seekers.

It is human nature. When even a god-level powerful being is dead and there is a huge army around, only those who are mentally retarded and brainless would seek revenge at this time?

"boom……"

A majestic aura like divine power descended, overwhelming most of the fleet and attracting the excited attention of countless people!
