Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Chapter 390 didn't start well.

After waving for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to leave, Li Shundao sensed his increased primordial spirit and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

As for why he didn't preach to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao directly, it's because they were both in an excited state. Even if Li Shundao preached, they probably wouldn't listen to much. It would be better to let them go back and calm down!

Besides, he had just settled the karmic debt with Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, which not only increased his primordial spirit but also made his magical power much more complete. He was now in a position to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time.

In the Northern Marquisate of the Southern Continent, Chen Fusheng, along with Guang Chengzi and others, quietly entered the army that was suppressing the rebellion. Jiang Ziya, Huang Feihu, and others had already been waiting in front of the camp for a long time.

Upon seeing Chen Fusheng and the others appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Jiang Ziya greets the Vice Master, Senior Brother, and Senior Brother Chen."

In reality, only three people—Randeng Daoren, Guangchengzi, and Chen Fusheng—were actually sent to quell the rebellion. After all, it would be a waste of talent to mobilize all the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect just to deal with a single Beibo Marquisate.

In fact, only Guang Chengzi and Randeng Daoren came to provide support. The rest of the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect were all left in Chaoge. Chen Fusheng only went with Randeng Daoren after seeing him go.

Besides, staying in Chaoge isn't necessarily a good thing. As the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, Chaoge not only has a dragon vein, but also the golden dragon of the Human Emperor's fortune hovering in the sky. It's not so bad for cultivators with lower cultivation levels, but for powerful beings at the Golden Immortal and Great Luo Golden Immortal levels, it's really quite stifling. Not only do they need to be monitored by the Human Emperor's golden dragon of fortune at all times, but they also dare not use too much spiritual energy. If they cause any trouble for the common people in the city, it would be a disaster falling from the sky!

Cultivators strive for a carefree life, but now, out of nowhere, a pair of eyes has appeared on their heads. Even a Golden Immortal or a Profound Immortal would find this unbearable, let alone a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This was only because the disciples of the three religions were personally acknowledged by the Human Emperor. Otherwise, let alone Golden Immortals, even Great Luo Golden Immortals or Quasi-Saints wouldn't be able to take a single step into Chaoge.

Chen Fusheng followed the Taoist Ran Deng this time for two reasons. First, he wanted to see if he could discover any unusual things about the Taoist Ran Deng. If they were really good things, then the Taoist could only blame his bad luck and not Chen Fusheng for being ruthless.

On the other hand, it was also a way to keep an eye on Daoist Randeng. Daoist Randeng was sent by Yuanshi Tianzun to help the Shang Dynasty. Although Chen Fusheng didn't say anything, based on Daoist Randeng's recent unusual behavior, Chen Fusheng was 80% sure that Daoist Randeng had already defected to Western Buddhism. As a disciple of the Chan Sect, Chen Fusheng absolutely could not allow such a traitor to remain among the people.

Ultimately, it was because he coveted the secrets of Daoist Ran Deng. Otherwise, given Chen Fusheng's personality, it's uncertain whether he would even descend the mountain this time. After all, even with his cultivation at the peak of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he could easily stumble and even perish if he wasn't careful. In Chen Fusheng's view, this was already a huge investment.

This was only after he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection Realm and refined the Dao Inquiry Ruler, which slightly changed his personality. Otherwise, let alone the fact that Daoist Ran Deng had a secret, if it were according to his previous personality, even if Daoist Ran Deng had an innate treasure, he would probably have stayed in the Jade Purity Realm cave in Kunlun Mountain and would not have stepped out of the door.

"Junior Brother Jiang, just tell us what you need our senior brother to do. We are all your underlings this time."

After everyone sat down, seeing Guang Chengzi and Daoist Randeng closing their eyes to rest and remain silent, Chen Fusheng smiled bitterly to himself and spoke first.

As soon as Chen Fusheng spoke, the tense atmosphere in the hall instantly disappeared. Huang Feihu, who was sitting next to him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly. If the tension had continued any longer, he probably would have become the first immortal in the prehistoric world to suffocate.

Although it wasn't his first time meeting a Grand Luo Golden Immortal—after all, Xuan Yuanming and Yin Laozu, who had come with the army to quell the rebellion, were both Grand Luo Golden Immortals—Xuan Yuanming and Yin Laozu instantly paled in comparison to Guang Chengzi, Chen Fusheng, and Randeng Daoren. They truly lived up to their reputation as disciples of a sage.

Especially Guang Chengzi, who was leading the group, was said to be the eldest disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones. His silent demeanor just now was truly imposing. Although Randeng Daoren seemed to be smiling, Huang Feihu always felt a chilling aura about him, and his heart was pounding. He knew this was a sign of danger. As a son of a military family, Huang Feihu could be said to have been through the hardships of military life since childhood. Even when he was a child, he played with dissecting corpses, so he developed a keen intuition for danger. Moreover, this intuition had saved him more than once, causing Huang Feihu to involuntarily stay away from Randeng Daoren.

Only Chen Fusheng looked younger than him, and he was Fang Hui's master. In addition, Fang Hui was standing right behind Chen Fusheng, which made Huang Feihu's goodwill towards Chen Fusheng rise sharply.

Not to mention Huang Feihu, even Xuanyuan Ming and Yin Laozu's brows twitched when they saw the expressions on Guang Chengzi and the others' faces, and they dared not say a word.

However, they were not as short-sighted as Huang Feihu. Although Randeng Daoist and Guang Chengzi had the worst complexions and gave off a feeling of "keep away," they knew in their hearts that Chen Fusheng was the most powerful among the three, followed by Randeng Daoist and Guang Chengzi.

Although they couldn't defeat Daoist Ran Deng and Guang Chengzi, at least their lives weren't in danger. However, through the probing just now, they felt that if they were to become enemies with Chen Fusheng, their chances of losing their lives would exceed eighty percent.

When Jiang Ziya saw that Guang Chengzi and Randeng Daoren looked unwell, his heart skipped a beat. Although he was of the same generation as Guang Chengzi and the others, his cultivation was only at the Heavenly Immortal level, and he was still an entry-level disciple. Guang Chengzi, on the other hand, was the eldest brother of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and the eldest brother of the Chan Sect. The difference in their status was too great, and there was no need to compare them.

Not to mention Guang Chengzi, he couldn't even compare to Chen Fusheng. Although Chen Fusheng was also a formal disciple who had entered the sect not long before him, Chen Fusheng was a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation and a master of weapon refining. His status in the Chan Sect was no lower than Guang Chengzi's, and perhaps even higher.

He couldn't even compare to Daoist Ran Deng. Although the latter wasn't a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, the prehistoric world was still a place that valued strength. No matter how powerful your backing was, if your own cultivation wasn't high, no one would give you face. After all, you have to be strong yourself to succeed.

Even if Jiang Ziya was very knowledgeable about human relationships and had the best strategies, he wouldn't dare to speak first if Guang Chengzi didn't speak.

Only after Chen Fusheng spoke did Jiang Ziya give him a grateful look and hurriedly say, "I wouldn't dare, Junior Brother wouldn't dare!"

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of? You're the person Master appointed to manage things, so don't worry. Just tell me what's on your mind, and Master Randeng, Senior Brother, and I will do our best to help you, right, Senior Brother?"

As he spoke, Chen Fusheng looked at Guang Chengzi beside him and secretly transmitted his voice, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother Jiang is still our junior brother. Don't make things difficult for him! The Chan Sect should take the lead!"

In fact, Guang Chengzi and Randeng Daoren wouldn't get angry and show their faces for no reason. It was because when they first arrived, during Xuan Yuanming and Yin Laozu's probing, Guang Chengzi and Randeng Daoren were caught off guard and fell into Xuan Yuanming's trap.

This was something that the proud Guang Chengzi could not tolerate. If it weren't for Chen Fusheng holding him back, he probably would have started fighting with the rebels of Da Luo before even attacking the Northern Marquisate.

Speaking of which, Xuan Yuanming was also a martial arts fanatic. He usually stayed in the Imperial Dragon Vein to cultivate and rarely came out of seclusion. This was also the reason why Xuan Yuanming did not come out of seclusion when the Great Xia Imperial Court was replaced by the Great Shang Imperial Court. In his opinion, as long as the Imperial Court was not occupied by outsiders, it didn't matter who was in charge.

With Huoyun Cave as his backing, he wasn't afraid of Guang Chengzi, the disciple of the Sage. In particular, when he met Guang Chengzi, he chose to secretly test him, probably to see the level of the Sage's disciple. Guang Chengzi was caught off guard and actually lost the upper hand. If it weren't for Chen Fusheng's presence, the Chan Sect would have lost face.
