Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Jiang Lu didn't know whether the Lord of Dao and Virtue had tampered with the "One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones" given to the Queen Mother of the West.

But he was sure that what he had practiced was fake.

Although it is not certain whether it is a problem of the Lord of Morality or the Queen Mother of the West, it is not a wise move to slander the sister of the King of the East in front of him, so at this time it can only be a problem of the Lord of Morality.

Yes, whether he had done it or not, but since everything happened so coincidentally, he had to have done it.

This is what is called following the will of heaven.

"That old man looks so righteous, but I didn't expect him to be such a scoundrel!" Dong Wanggong was so angry that his teeth were itching: "He actually did such a ridiculous thing to my sister, I will settle accounts with him one day!"

He spoke indignantly and his words were quite fierce. He did not show any fear at all towards the Lord of Morality because of his lofty status and unfathomable power.

Although Dong Wang Gong does not seem to have a strong presence in various mythological records, he is actually of the same generation as the Lord of Dao and Virtue.

Yuanshi Tianzun, the leader of the Three Pure Ones, is actually the elder brother of the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East.

The gods such as the Lord of Daode, the Lord of Lingbao, the Emperor of Heaven and Innocence, the Five Heavenly Emperors were all ordained by Yuanshi Tianzun. So according to seniority, although the Lord of Daode and the Lord of Lingbao are known as the Three Pure Ones together with Yuanshi Tianzun, their actual status is half a head lower than that of Yuanshi Tianzun. The Lord of Daode is a bit like the big brother's college classmate and follower to the King of East.

When people respect you, they call you brother, and when people look down on you, they call you a moral boy. What can you do about it?
Of course, this relationship was also kept secret. Even if Jiang Lu was drunk, when it came to Yuanshi Tianzun, he still kept some face and knew his limits and didn't say it out loud.

Although Jiang Lu didn't know why his brothers and sisters wanted to hide their relationship from the outside world, since Yuanshi Tianzun didn't want it to be exposed, Jiang Lu certainly wouldn't deliberately provoke him.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Lu knew in his heart that it was just teasing other people's younger siblings at best, but if he really wanted to deliberately provoke his eldest brother, there was no need to say anything.

It’s not that he is afraid of Yuanshi Tianzun, it’s just that the fairyland is very close to the underworld. As the first neighbor to establish diplomatic relations after the underworld declared independence, Jiang Lu really doesn’t want a strong enemy to appear next to his bed.

After all, he has made enough enemies outside, so there is no reason to offend the gang leaders who could have been his friends inside.

So thinking of this relationship, Jiang Lu was a little worried that the matter would get out of hand, and advised: "Hey, brother-in-law, don't get too excited. Even if you don't care about that guy's status in the fairy world, after all, he is still a close friend of your brother Yuanshi Tianzun. There's no need to make a scene."

"Hmm?" Dong Wanggong asked in surprise, "Sister not only told you about my relationship with her, but also told you about my elder brother?"

"Ah yes." Jiang Lu scratched his head: "Yes, but if there are rumors about him, it is definitely not me who said it."

"It seems that my sister really trusts you." Dong Wanggong nodded thoughtfully: "Then I can trust you too."

He didn't feel at all that Jiang Lu was favoring people. He didn't hesitate to bring up the matter between him and the Queen Mother of the West, and he was very clear about the boundaries when it came to Yuanshi Tianzun.

On the contrary, I think he is able to keep secrets and is very tight-lipped.

As for the accidental leak, he naturally regarded it as Jiang Lu's test of the Lord of Morality, wanting to see if he was a broad-minded person. However, the result of the test was not very ideal and some sacrifices occurred.

"Humph, but so what?"

Dong Wanggong clenched his fists in dissatisfaction, twisting his joints and making crackling sounds:

"Could it be possible that if the eldest brother knew about this, he would still protect him? If he really wanted to protect him, he could have just given it a try and see if I would beat him up. How dare the eldest brother, are you rebelling against him?"

"Ah, your description and your name don't match well." Jiang Lu complained silently.

"Anyway, you can't bully my sister!"

Dong Wanggong placed his hand on Jiang Lu's shoulder and squeezed it hard like a supporting character in an anime who was about to die after giving up his faith:

"Besides, don't I have you now? Brother-in-law, if you and I join forces, what does it matter even if we tear the sky apart?"

When he spoke, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. You could see that he seemed very much looking forward to it, as if he had finally found a backer and could use his power to bully others.

"No, I'm not that awesome now."

"how come?"

Dong Wanggong was puzzled:
"How come you have become so weak after not seeing you for so many years? Where is the Jiang Lu, the Lord of the Underworld who used to be domineering at home and arrogant abroad, who didn't give face to anyone, and was chased to the underworld by those foreign gods, such as Jehovah and Odin, but still spoke foul language and never lost the battle? You have to stand up."

"?" Jiang Lu was not happy to hear this: "Can you speak? And I was being hunted? They were outnumbered, so I retreated strategically, okay? I was at a disadvantage because I provoked them one by one in a short period of time. If it was a one-on-one fight, I would have punched their mothers' wombs out. Do you believe it?"

"Believe it, I believe it!" Dong Wanggong nodded firmly, "That's why I said that it shouldn't be difficult for you to deal with my elder brother, a mere Yuanshi Tianzun."

"But that was in the past. Now." Jiang Lu sighed, "Don't you see that I have lost all my cultivation and am no different from an ordinary person?"

"Eh?" Dong Wanggong said in surprise, "I thought you were going through the mortal world and deliberately turned yourself into a mortal."

“Ah, I’m not that boring.”

"What exactly is going on?"

Jiang Lu shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed as he briefly told Dong Wanggong the key points of his experience.

He concealed a considerable amount of complicated circumstances, so from what Dong Wanggong heard, it seemed that Jiang Lu had just recently been resurrected, had not yet started practicing again, and was working hard to regain everything he had lost.

"Is that so?" Dong Wanggong said somewhat frustratedly, "Then we should not be able to touch my supreme elder brother."

"It seems that we didn't intend to touch him from the beginning, right? Aren't we talking about the Lord of Morality?"

“He feels like he can’t win.”

"So I advise you not to be impulsive." Jiang Lu paused, as if he suddenly realized something: "No, you just wanted me to teach him a lesson for you, right?"

"As my brother-in-law, isn't it your job to stand up for me and my sister?" Duke Dong asked back dissatisfiedly.

"That's right."

Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes:
"But I don't understand how I can be considered as standing up for you and your sister. Wasn't your sister the victim? What does it have to do with you?"

"I will always be my sister's most loyal dog!"

"Wow, that's awesome."

Two minutes later.

The two big shots, whose true identities would scare everyone to death, were just like the two old men that could be seen everywhere at the entrance of the village. Each of them had a rattan chair, smoking the cigarette that Jiang Lu always carried with him, and they didn't say a word, just sitting in the sun, swaying.

"Don't worry." Jiang Lu suddenly said, "When I have the chance in the future, I will settle the score with him. Don't think too much. It's better to live your life well and worry less about your sister."

"Yeah." Dong Wanggong responded calmly.

The two of them are very much like the successful brother-in-law and the disappointing brother-in-law in a family ethics drama.

Perhaps he was in the right state, Jiang Lu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Look at you now, I don't know how to tell your sister about what you did, ah."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You've become a bad person now, and you're running to the human world to open a casino. What do you think that looks like?" "But. But"

"But what but? I saw it all with my own eyes. Are you still trying to make excuses?"

Jiang Lu sat up and said sternly:
"And I heard that the Sanqing Temple in the human world has expressly prohibited this kind of casino. As the main god, you should consider the suffering of the human world, but not only do you not control it, but you go against the wind and commit crimes, encouraging evil trends. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Listening to Jiang Lu's accusations, Dong Wanggong felt very aggrieved.

"Brother-in-law, I understand what you said, but this is not what I want to do."

"Oh? Then tell me, who ordered you to do that?"

“I can’t say I was ordered to do this, but someone did ask me to do this.” Dong Wanggong sighed as if accepting his fate: “This person is the one we just mentioned, my elder brother Yuanshi Tianzun.”

"He asked you to do this?" Jiang Lu was very surprised by the answer.

The Sanqing Temple enshrines the Three Pure Ones, among which Yuanshi Tianzun is the chief one. In other words, the Sanqing Temple is the spokesperson of the three Tianzun on earth.

Then the Three Pure Ones world governed by the Sanqing Temple should, in theory, prosper and suffer together with the three Heavenly Lords.

However, the gambling on stones, which was identified as a disaster by Sanqing Temple, rose to prominence due to the instigation of Yuanshi Tianzun. This is illogical no matter how you look at it.

I harmed myself? It's ridiculous to think about it.

So Jiang Lu also questioned on the spot: "Are you kidding me?"

"Really not, it was really my eldest brother who instructed me to do it, but it's true that only he and I know about this matter, and I don't know how to explain it to you." Duke Dong was very anxious and wanted to prove it, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

"Then tell me, why did he ask you to do this?" Jiang Lu asked.

Dong Wanggong hesitated a little, but after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, who made you my brother-in-law?"

It can be seen that he is much closer to the Queen Mother of the West than to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Then, he told Jiang Lu the reason: "Because... the time is almost up."

"What do you mean? When?" Jiang Lu asked again.

Dong Wanggong took a deep breath and shook his head slowly: "I don't know either, that's what he told me."

"?"

Jiang Lu frowned:
"Don't you know you're pretending to be me?

You look so serious that I really think you know someone.

Also, you help Yuanshi Tianzun without knowing anything? Are you stupid? "

"You can't say that." Dong Wanggong said helplessly: "After all, he is my elder brother. I help him with something and he doesn't tell me the reason. I really have no choice. Can I still refuse him?"

"Where is the Duke of Dong who was determined to kill him just now? You have to stand up." Jiang Lu repeated the other party's words exactly as they were spoken.

The Duke of Dong could only be extremely unconvinced but still faced the reality and said: "I can't do it."

"Alas," they both sighed at the same time.

It's time.

Jiang Lu naturally linked this sentence to the battle in the underworld.

Because when you think about it carefully, this seems to be the only major thing happening now.

If this is true, does it mean that the war in the underworld may have some other meaning for the main gods who are not involved in it?

This is the top priority for Jiang Lu right now, but for some main gods, could it be just the beginning?

Although Jiang Lu really wanted to figure it out right now, his current level was too low. Not to mention whether he could meet Yuanshi Tianzun, even if he did, what would happen?

If he really had any plans, with Jiang Lu's current capital, even if he didn't want to say it, Jiang Lu would be helpless.

Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun is not like Dong Wanggong who has a sister complex. Jiang Lu does not think that he will be completely unreserved towards her just because of his complicated relationship with Xi Wangmu.

He has always been a very cunning person, and Jiang Lu himself feels that he has never seen through him.

He seemed to have no desires, no weaknesses, and even the most basic human emotions were hard to find in him. Jiang Lu felt like an emotionless AI who only followed his own thoughts.

It is simply impossible for such a person to establish a relationship with him beyond the interests.

In this case, if he appeared in front of him directly, he might be changed from a partner to a chess piece that can be used. After all, compared with him, Jiang Lu is now a fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered at will.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu felt regretful, but he also reminded Dong Wanggong: "Don't tell your elder brother what happened today."

"Are you talking about the plot to beat him up?" Dong Wanggong smiled heartlessly: "Don't worry, I'm not an idiot."

"No, everything, including the fact that you saw me." Jiang Lu's face was rarely solemn.

Seeing this, Dong Wanggong also restrained his smile and nodded: "I understand."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang Lu changed the subject: "By the way, I heard from the waiter at your casino that you were nearby at the time. All the underground casinos in the Sanqing Realm belong to you. How come you happened to be in Nanjiang City? Could it be that we are so destined to be together?"

Dong Wanggong thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is fate, but I stayed in Nanjiang City not just on a whim, there is a reason."

"what?"

"Well, it's a strange thing to say."

Dong Wanggong said with some distress:
“The three corpse spirits left behind by my sister when she killed the three corpses in the past had never caused any problems for tens of millions of years, but some time ago, for some reason, they suddenly broke the seal without any warning and disappeared.

Although my sister's attitude towards this is to let nature take its course, as her younger brother I cannot just ignore it. What if the three corpse spirits retaliate against her and bring about a heavenly calamity?
So I had no choice but to come to Nanjiang City, which is the closest to the Gaishi Mountain where her three corpse spirits are sealed.

I was just trying my luck to see if I could find some clues, but I didn't expect that I actually found them.

I am now very sure that her three corpses are hiding in Nanjiang City, but unfortunately I can't determine the exact location, which makes me very worried."

Jiang Lu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the reason why Duke Dongwang appeared here was for him in the end.

Isn’t this a closed loop?

"Hmm, cough," he cleared his throat. "I have some immature ideas about this matter and would like to discuss them with you." (End of this chapter)
