Chapter 146 Escape from Death

Chen Fusheng looked at the familiar scene before him and collapsed. Li Shundao quickly helped him up.

"Why are you here? Have you finished your business in Heaven?"

Chen Fusheng leaned back in his rattan chair and looked at Li Shundao, asking a question.

Li Shundao said irritably, "You should worry about yourself. I've almost finished dealing with things here."

By the way, how did you end up offending a demon lord? I bet that demon lord was at least in the late stage! If I hadn't noticed your agitated state and happened to arrive, you would have been in real trouble today.

And what are these little insects? They're quite resilient.

As he spoke, he held up a yellow, hard-shelled ladybug. Chen Fusheng took one look and his heart skipped a beat: "A yellow ladybug, how did it get in here too? How many of them came in?"

Li Shundao was somewhat surprised by Chen Fusheng's strong reaction. He gently patted Chen's shoulder and said, "It's nothing. It was just a few bugs on your feet. I've already taken care of them. Besides, have you forgotten who's in charge here? Even if it were a celestial being, let alone some insects, they would have to kneel down here."

Upon hearing that the yellow worms had been eliminated, Chen Fusheng took a deep breath, then casually took the yellow worms from Li Shundao's hand, squeezed them hard, and chuckled softly: "Don't underestimate these worms. If you hadn't arrived in time today, I would have perished at the hands of these little bugs."

"Oh, so powerful? Isn't this just an ordinary demon?" Li Shundao was intrigued by Chen Fusheng's words, so he picked it up and examined it. It turned out to be just an ordinary demon general.

Chen Fusheng looked at Li Shundao with some disbelief and asked, "What if there are tens of thousands, endless, and they refuse to die?"

Li Shundao immediately pictured the scene in his mind, felt a chill run down his spine, and tossed the yellow worm to Chen Fusheng.

"It's safer for you to keep this, since he's close to you anyway."

Chen Fusheng casually slapped him, and Li Shundao stepped back slightly. His plan had failed, but he didn't mind: "Tell me, how did you end up at the border between humans and demons?"

Li Shundao poured Chen Fusheng a cup of tea, sat down, and slowly said, "This is not because the demon race has increased its troops. Since the Heavenly Court has chosen to stand on the side of the human race, it will definitely make a gesture. Therefore, at the invitation of the Dao Alliance, it also sent a reinforcement, and I am among them."

"Didn't you just arrive in Heaven? The Jade Emperor has already appointed you to lead troops?" Chen Fusheng frowned upon hearing Li Shundao's words and asked incredulously.

"What are you thinking? How could someone as small as me possibly lead a team in such an important battle?" Li Shundao rolled his eyes at Chen Fusheng. This guy must have been so anxious earlier that he lost his mind.

"This time, it was led by the Western Gouchen Emperor, one of the Six Emperors of Heaven, along with the Five Elders of Heaven, the Heavenly Venerables of Thunder, Water, Dipper, and Fire from the Eight Departments, and 500,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. I am just a small fry among them, not even worthy of mention. I'm just here to gain some experience."

"so many people?"

Chen Fusheng said with some surprise, he was no longer the clueless newbie he was back then who knew nothing about the Lingbao Sect.

With Li Shundao, a member of the Heavenly Court, he had gained some understanding of the Heavenly Court's structure. Among the Six Emperors, the Gouchen Emperor was on par with the Jade Emperor, and was at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even higher.

Needless to say, the Five Elders of Heaven were a given; he had met them once before in the East Sea, and they were definitely Great Luo Golden Immortals. As for the Eight Heavenly Venerables, who were first-rank Heavenly Officials, Li Shundao, who was only a third-rank Heavenly Official at the early stage of Golden Immortal, could be deduced to be that these Heavenly Venerables were at least Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Nine Great Golden Immortals arrived at once, along with 500,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. These are at least Celestial Immortals, so it seems the war between humans and demons is about to reach a new climax.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Chen Fusheng's eyes, and he secretly made a mental note: "Packaging, I hope you'll still be alive when we meet again."

Having traversed the prehistoric world for so long, this was the first time Chen Fusheng had ever felt so close to death, except for being so badly beaten by the heavenly tribulation.

Only those who have died once know how terrible death is, and only then do they truly cherish the life they have.

Why was Chen Fusheng so cowardly? Why did he want to become a Golden Immortal?

All I want is to live forever, to never die, and that hope was almost destroyed by the packaging today.

Not to mention that he had used all his trump cards at the end, including top-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and more than one. He didn't believe that the packaging wouldn't be tempted. In addition, there was the blood feud between them, which was a deep-seated hatred for the murder of his son.

Moreover, it's not enough to just cry "stop thief" without constantly guarding against thieves; we must find an opportunity to nip the problem in the bud.

However, he is currently only at the Xuanxian realm and is seriously injured. Even with Li Shundao, a Jinxian, joining the team, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to defeat him. Therefore, there is only one way: to break through to the Jinxian realm.

This makes it more likely that he and Li Shundao would become two Golden Immortals.

After telling Li Shundao, Chen Fusheng went directly into the cave to cultivate in seclusion.

Li Shundao watched Chen Fusheng's retreating figure and sighed, "I'll just handle it myself. I'll talk to him if things get too difficult."

Actually, Chen Fusheng's visit this time was not only to give the Jade Emperor face by having Lei Bu Tianzun come and "gild his resume," but also to deal with the matter of ambushing Li Shundao last time.

Although decades have passed on Earth, only about twenty days have passed in Heaven.

Since learning from Hua Jian that the ambush had been investigated by Lei Bu Tian Zun and that his God of Wealth supernatural powers had been discovered by Qing Di, he decided to go into seclusion and prepare to take this opportunity to break through to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal.

However, things didn't go as planned. The Thunder God's investigation was incredibly fast. In just three days, he had thoroughly investigated the matter, and the result was unexpected. Even Li Shundao himself was taken aback.

Lei Bu Tianzun truly deserves to be the head of a first-rank official department. Li Shundao was a newcomer, and even he only just learned that Li Shundao was the Jade Emperor's disciple. Therefore, the conflict could only be a matter of interest, and the focus was directly narrowed down to the position of Heavenly Emperor.

Then he summoned the head of the Five Thunder Academy and Wang Fu, the Thunder King of the Eastern Divine Transport, for questioning. He asked who was behind Li Shundao's decision to go on a rainmaking mission so soon after taking office. Although the head of the Five Thunder Academy and Wang Fu were not involved, they knew who was behind it. Before the Heavenly Venerable could even ask, they revealed all about the affairs of Lei Meng and the other two, showing no regard for old friendships whatsoever.

It was not difficult for Raymond to trace the matter to Lei Shi. Lei Shi happened to be Li Shundao's subordinate and a Golden Immortal. He didn't need to investigate in detail to know that this matter was inseparable from Lei Shi, Raymond, and others. In addition, he had also seen Lei Shi and Yao Yu desert their posts in the face of battle, which made him even more disgusted.

With a single command, Lei Bu Tian Zun arrested Lei Shi, Yao Yu, Lei Meng, Wu Jiang, and Xu Liang.

The capture of three Heavenly Lords and two Merit Officers in one fell swoop, and it was even done by the Heavenly Venerable himself, causing a huge uproar in the Thunder Department and even the Heavenly Court.

Raymond and his two companions were sensible enough to reveal that they had plotted to make Li Shundao bring rain. After all, it wasn't a big deal; at most, it was just officials shirking responsibility and fighting amongst themselves. It wasn't a serious crime in the Heavenly Court. As for the leak, the three refused to admit it and claimed to know nothing about it.

In the end, Lei Shi, the wealthy young master, couldn't hold back and revealed the truth, only to find out that this was a scheme jointly orchestrated by Lei Shi, the Thunder Recorder, and Yao Yu, the Thunder Reviewer.

Since the two of them resigned from their posts as Heavenly Emperors, they had always considered the position of Heavenly Emperor to be theirs for the taking. They never expected that after competing openly and secretly for so long, Li Shundao would actually reap the benefits. How could the two of them be willing to accept this?

Just then, Yao Yu came up with an idea: to use the demon race to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then the two of them would each rely on their own abilities to obtain the position of Heavenly Lord.

Lei Shi was tempted by Yao Yu's words and finally couldn't resist agreeing.

The two then clearly divided their tasks: Lei Shi was responsible for getting Li Shundao to leave the Heavenly Court, while Yao Yu was in charge of the remaining secret plot to kill the demons.

Lei Shi happened to learn from Wu Jiang that the southern part of the human race needed rain recently, so he went directly to ask Raymond for help. Raymond couldn't resist his younger brother Lei Shi's request and agreed to help him this time, to make Li Shundao look bad and give him a hard time.
