Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Chapter 301 Nuwa Temple

Nuwa was temporarily entangled with Wen Zhong, and King Zhou was currently delirious. What to do now? The task fell to Shang Rong and Bigan.

Although Bi Gan was a capable minister, he was competent enough to handle state affairs. However, he had always been extremely disgusted by such conspiracies and intrigues. In addition, given his status as the emperor's uncle, virtually no one dared to plot against him. Therefore, since entering officialdom, he had never encountered such a situation and couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being.

A hint of shock flashed in Prime Minister Shang Rong's eyes, but everyone was in a panic and no one noticed his unusual behavior.

Shang Rong appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. This was not because of King Zhou's harassment of the goddess Nuwa, but because she was recalling an incident that had occurred in her residence a few days ago.

He clearly remembered that it was seven days ago.

He had just arrived home when he heard that someone had come to visit. In fact, this was a common occurrence in his residence. After all, as the prime minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, he was second only to the emperor and had reached the limit of a subject's power. He was incredibly powerful.

In addition, with King Zhou recently reflecting on his mistakes in seclusion, the entire administration of the Shang Dynasty has been handed over to him and Bigan. In particular, as the prime minister, he handles almost all matters, big and small.

Therefore, there were many people visiting, some for promotion, some for wealth... all sorts of people.

Having reached such a level, power was merely a means to an end. His primary motivation was the well-being of the Shang Dynasty and its countless people. Of course, he also had his own selfish desires, such as posthumous fame. If he had accumulated merit in his lifetime, he might have a chance to become an official in the underworld after death.

Although the title of "Yin Guan" (陰官, literally "Official in the Underworld") sounds unpleasant, it represents a position of real power. Aside from the "Tian Guan" (天官, literally "Official in the Heavenly Court"), the Yin Guan is truly the most suitable position for these imperial court officials.

If it weren't for his lack of natural talent, his cultivation in the immortal path would have only just broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm. By now, he would have long lost the will to continue improving.

If there were a way, who would want to become an official? After all, officialdom is a big melting pot, which is far less desirable than the path of immortality and martial arts for longevity.

Shang Rong's greatest wish now is to accumulate more merits in her lifetime, so that she can have a better time in the underworld and leave a good name for her family.

The butler is usually very sensible. He won't report to me unless it's someone I really can't refuse. He can only say that he really can't refuse the visitor.

Shang Rong was helpless; in officialdom, there are always some people you can't refuse or refuse.

She asked the housekeeper to invite the person over. When Shang Rong saw who it was, she was surprised and couldn't help but mutter to herself. Her earlier dislike for the person lessened a bit.

The visitor was Fang Hui, the central elder of the God of Wealth Sect in the Southern Continent, who was also the de facto ruler of the Southern Continent. It was said that he had extremely powerful backing.

It turns out that since Fang Hui became Chen Fusheng's disciple, although he did not return to Kunlun Mountain to record the jade tablet, it was also for Chen Fusheng's good. After all, the great calamity was about to come, and as one of the three major Taoist sects, the Chan Sect was certainly unable to escape this entanglement of cause and effect. It was a little inappropriate to let Fang Hui enter the mountain gate now.

So after discussing it with Li Shundao, they directly transferred the original Central Elder back to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and Fang Hui directly became the Central Elder of Nanzhanbuzhou.

With Chen Fusheng's guidance, he lived up to expectations and finally advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm more than a hundred years ago. This was considered top-tier within the entire God of Wealth Sect, and with Li Shundao's verbal instruction, no one felt there was anything wrong with it.

Moreover, with Fang Hui's current strength, he can rank among the top five in the entire elder council. Coupled with his elusive Shadow Dao, his strength should not be underestimated.

As for why Shang Rong knew Fang Hui, it was mainly thanks to the strong support that the God of Wealth Cult had given to the Great Shang Imperial Court in recent years. In addition, the God of Wealth Cult had no other requirements besides taking incense offerings and recruiting some followers, so Shang Rong had a very good impression of the God of Wealth Cult.

Through these interactions, he got to know Fang Hui. Although he was now the Prime Minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, he couldn't muster any official authority when facing the powerful Golden Immortal who ruled the Southern Continent of the God of Wealth Sect.

No wonder the butler didn't dare to stop him; after all, he could only be prime minister for a short time, not for a lifetime, while the other party was immortal.

Besides, the God of Wealth Cult has connections with many imperial relatives and high-ranking officials in the court. Some members of the royal family even hold positions in the God of Wealth Cult. So, if they need anything, there's no need for Fang Hui, the central elder, to come. Those members of the royal family are enough.

Unexpectedly, Fang Hui's visit this time was not to ask for a favor as he had thought, but to tell him some important news: "Someone is planning to assassinate the Human Emperor on the birthday of Nuwa." When she finished speaking, Shang Rong almost kicked him out.

As for assassinating the Human Emperor, Shang Rong had never heard of anyone who could do so in all his years of life. After all, as the supreme ruler of the human race, the Human Emperor was blessed by heaven and earth and protected by the Golden Dragon of Imperial Fortune. Let alone assassinating the Human Emperor, it was estimated that no one could even get close to him.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang Hui was an elder of the God of Wealth Cult and a powerful Golden Immortal, Shang Rong wouldn't have wanted to say another word to him.

However, whether it was due to Fang Hui's influence or her own nervousness, Shang Rong had a vague feeling that a great calamity was about to befall her as the birthday of Nuwa approached.

Especially this morning, he unconsciously followed Fang Hui's advice and carried the Emperor's Palace Seal with him.

The real imperial seal of the emperor was usually kept in the ancestral temple of the Shang Dynasty imperial court, and the imperial edicts issued on a daily basis were stamped with the seal of the emperor's temporary palace.

Since King Zhou went into seclusion to cultivate, the seal of the Emperor's Palace has been placed in the Hall of State Affairs, jointly managed by Shang Rong, Bigan, and others.

Unexpectedly, King Zhou was perfectly fine when he entered the Nuwa Temple, but not long after entering, he began to show signs of abnormality.

At this moment, Shang Rong had no time to express her gratitude or doubt Fang Hui. She quickly took out the Emperor's Palace Seal that she had prepared beforehand and stamped it on King Zhou, who was standing to the side.

Bigan was initially shocked, but when he saw the Emperor's Palace Seal fall on King Zhou, drawing out the trapped Great Shang Dynasty's true dragon of destiny, he was about to explode.

The Golden Dragon of Fortune was born from the will of all humankind. Even when facing the powerful demon race, it never bowed its head. Now, however, it has been secretly sealed away, and in the Nuwa Temple no less.

Who dares to be so audacious? Bi Gan was terrified. Not to mention him, all the ministers behind King Zhou were filled with rage.

Although they had conflicts in the past, they were all human. Now that the golden dragon of human destiny was trapped, this was no longer aimed at King Zhou or the Shang Dynasty court, but at provoking the human race, or even humiliating the human race. How could they not be angry and furious?

At this moment, Nuwa also vaguely sensed an unusual aura. She was furious that someone had dared to make a move in her temple.

She trapped Wen Zhong in place. Although she didn't dare to attack him, she could still bear the consequences of trapping him temporarily.

He broke through the protective array of the Nuwa Temple in an instant and entered. He immediately saw the poem on the wall and his anger surged. He then saw King Zhou holding a pen and knife. He was furious at first, but then he saw the golden dragon of fortune behind him and was even more shocked. He quickly suppressed his anger.

The fact that the Human Emperor was ambushed at the Nuwa Temple—what does that mean? Her relationship with the human race was already quite awkward, and it had only recently improved somewhat. If this incident were to get out, she would be in a situation she could never clear her name of.

Watching the golden dragon of fortune struggle under the guidance of the Emperor's Palace Seal, Nuwa snorted coldly and with a gentle tap of her jade finger, the trap set by Zhunti was instantly broken.

With a roar, the golden dragon of fortune broke through the protective shield of the Nuwa Temple and soared into the sky, roaring angrily.
