Chapter 318 Fang Hui's Identity

King Zhou looked at Shang Rong, who was still left, with a headache. There was still no one from the Chan Sect to inform, and Shang Rong was the only suitable person who fit his identity.

However, given Shang Rong's cultivation level, by the time she reaches Kunlun Mountain, it will be too late. Besides, Bi Gan and Wen Zhong have already been sent out. If Shang Rong is sent out as well, there will be no one to handle the affairs of the Great Shang Imperial Court.

Furthermore, it's understandable that Bigan, as the Vice Chancellor, would be absent for a period of time. Although Wen Zhong is the Grand Tutor, he spends most of his time away from Chaoge, so it's normal for him not to show his face. However, Shang Rong is a proper Chancellor. If he doesn't show his face for even a day, it will cause turmoil in the court. Not to mention that the Shang Dynasty has only just stabilized a little. If Shang Rong doesn't show his face for too long, and given that it's not suitable for me to appear in public recently, wouldn't the court be thrown into chaos?

However, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Chan Sect needed someone to seek help and discuss matters, and King Zhou didn't have a suitable candidate at the moment.

Shang Rong was already a veteran of three reigns, and he had practically watched King Zhou grow up. He immediately understood what King Zhou was thinking. He also knew that this matter was very troublesome. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but think of someone.

King Zhou saw the joy on Shang Rong's face and a thought struck him. He hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, have you found a suitable candidate?"

Shang Rong cupped his hands in greeting, "That's right."

"I wonder who it is?"

"Fang Hui, the Central Elder in Charge of the Southern Jambudvipa Sect of the God of Wealth."

King Zhou frowned. He knew Fang Hui well. Even disregarding the great contributions she had made to the court some time ago, the fact that the Nuwa Temple had tipped them off in advance was enough for King Zhou to take seriously.

Despite his gratitude, King Zhou still had some reservations about the God of Wealth Cult. After all, the God of Wealth Cult belonged to the Heavenly Court. Although the Jade Emperor and the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were fellow disciples, the cult also had a good relationship with the Western Saints. If the Heavenly Court found out and told the Western Saints, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Shang Rong knew what King Zhou was worried about, and slowly whispered, "Does Your Majesty know the background of Fang Hui?"

King Zhou's heart stirred, and his face lit up with interest: "Please speak, Prime Minister."

"Does Your Majesty know of Immortal Chen?"

"Immortal Lord Chen?" King Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Those who could be called Immortal Lords were at least Great Luo Golden Immortals, and there was only one Immortal Lord with the surname Chen in the entire prehistoric world. "Could it be Immortal Lord Chen Fusheng, a disciple of the Sage Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect?"

Shang Rong smiled slightly, "It is indeed Chen Fusheng, the Immortal Lord Chen. Elder Fang Hui's master is this Immortal Lord Chen. Speaking of which, Elder Fang Hui can be considered a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect."

"Oh, I see. But why would a disciple of the Chan Sect become an elder of the God of Wealth Sect?" King Zhou wondered to himself.

"Elder Fang Hui was originally a disciple of the God of Wealth Sect, but was later appreciated by Immortal Lord Chen and taken in as a disciple."

I've heard that Li Tianzun and Chen Xianjun of the God of Wealth Sect have a good relationship, which is probably why Fang Hui didn't return to the mountain to cultivate!

Shang Rong slowly said that after the incident at the Nuwa Temple, after King Zhou woke up, he told King Zhou the whole story in detail. Although King Zhou investigated again afterward, he still couldn't find any trace of Fang Hui. Fearing that it would attract the attention of Western Buddhism, King Zhou ordered the investigation to stop.

However, Shang Rong never stopped exploring, after all, the power of the God of Wealth Sect was too great in the Great Shang Imperial Court, it was no exaggeration to say that it was of paramount importance.

Leaving aside cultivators, the ordinary people alone are spread throughout the entire Southern Continent. Their strength is only slightly greater than that of the Four Great Lords. Even the Great Shang Imperial Court has to be extremely careful when facing the God of Wealth Cult, otherwise, it would have far-reaching consequences.

As the Prime Minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, second only to the emperor, he certainly had to thoroughly investigate such a behemoth as the God of Wealth Cult.

Sure enough, hard work pays off. Before long, he learned from one of his disciples that Fang Hui had become Chen Fusheng's disciple. In fact, Fang Hui had already been exposed to everyone when she entered the Chan Sect Jade Tablet.

Previously, some people may have known Fang Hui, but it was still only known within the Golden Immortals group. However, once the news of his becoming Chen Fusheng's disciple was exposed, it really stirred up a huge wave.

The Chan Sect is a sect of saints. Once someone enters the Jade Register, they become a direct disciple of the Chan Sect and a legitimate successor. This is already quite remarkable, especially since Fang Hui has become the disciple of Chen Fusheng, a prominent figure in the public eye.

Chen Fusheng of the Chan Sect is now famous throughout the entire prehistoric world, not only among the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals, but also in the minds of some Quasi-Saints and even Saints.

The mere fact that he is a master craftsman is enough to make him memorable. Not to mention that Chen Fusheng is one of the few people who has broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm since the Great Lich War. Moreover, he achieved this in less than ten thousand years. In the entire prehistoric world, only Li Shundao, the Heavenly Venerable of the Ministry of Finance of the Heavenly Court, can compare to him.

With Chen Fusheng as Fang Hui's mentor, how could Fang Hui not attract attention? An investigation would surely uncover her.

What puzzled Shang Rong was whether Fang Hui's arrival to deliver the message was Chen Fusheng's idea or the intention of the sage Yuanshi Tianzun. However, since learning that Fang Hui was a disciple of the Chan Sect, Shang Rong had withdrawn the spies, fearing that if Chen Fusheng were to discover them by accident, it would be disastrous.

Today, he happened to encounter King Zhou in a difficult situation, which immediately reminded him of Fang Hui, one of the few disciples of the Chan Sect who remained in Chaoge.

After listening to Shang Rong's words, King Zhou quickly considered the matter and finally decided to appoint Fang Hui as the liaison officer for this mission.

At the headquarters of the God of Wealth Cult in Chaoge, Fang Hui slowly opened her eyes and asked the people outside, "What is it?"

"Prime Minister Shang Rong of the Great Shang Imperial Court has come to request an audience. Elder, would you like to see him?" came the voice from outside the door.

Upon hearing the name Shang Rong, Fang Hui immediately thought of the Nuwa Temple incident. So much time had passed since then; after the Nuwa Temple's quiet closure, the two sides should have no further connection. She wondered what Shang Rong's purpose was in coming today.

It shouldn't be because of this matter. He didn't believe that the Great Shang Imperial Court would be so bored as to send Shang Rong to visit them over something like this.

"Please invite Prime Minister Shang Rong into the main hall. I'll be there right away," Fang Hui decided to go see Shang Rong. After all, he was the Prime Minister of the Great Shang Dynasty. Although his cultivation level was a bit low, in terms of status, he might not be much worse than her.

As soon as Fang Hui entered the inner hall, she saw Shang Rong enjoying tea. Composing herself, Fang Hui slowly stepped into the main hall and smiled at Shang Rong, saying, "It's a rare guest today, I apologize for my rudeness."

When Shang Rong saw Fang Hui walk in, he quickly stood up and bowed to her. After all, the more accomplished one is, the more respectful one should be. Moreover, Fang Hui had fought hundreds of rounds more than him, so it was only natural for a junior to bow to her.

However, Fang Hui herself did not dare to accept the full set of greetings. After all, Shang Rong was the prime minister of the Great Shang Dynasty and a veteran of three reigns. Accepting half a greeting was enough, but accepting the full greeting would be a bit presumptuous. Not only would it be easy to offend people, but it would also bring her karma.

The two slowly sat down, and Shang Rong went straight to the point and gave Fang Hui a general overview of the matter. He had only spoken halfway through when Fang Hui's heart started pounding. She hurriedly activated the God of Wealth Sect's grand formation and used all the spiritual treasures in her body that could defend and suppress her fortune before Shang Rong could finish speaking.

The two didn't talk much. Shang Rong had a lot of things to do in the court. Besides his own affairs, he also had to deal with Wen Zhong and Bigan's matters for the time being, and he even had to take care of the internal affairs of the royal family.

The prime minister harmonizes yin and yang, commands civil and military officials, oversees all officials, and assists the emperor in governing the country; he can be said to be all-encompassing.

Even if the emperor has something to do and temporarily takes over the administration of the court, there is no problem. Just like the current Shang Dynasty court, King Zhou needs to reflect on his mistakes by facing the wall because of his self-criticism edict. Wen Zhong is not in court for many years. There used to be a vice minister, Bigan. Now that Bigan has something to do, all the big and small matters in the court have been piled up on his head.

Seeing Shang Rong leave, Fang Hui hurriedly made arrangements for the God of Wealth Cult and flew hastily towards Dongsheng Divine Continent.
