The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

The runes on the divine whip lit up, emitting a faint red light.

Then, a ray of divine light burst out from the divine whip and shot onto the statue of the old man sitting on the chair.

The body of the statue was shrouded in divine light, rising like smoke, and condensed into an illusory human figure above its head. The appearance of the military officer was exactly the same as the statue.

Although Gao Qi was prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the divine light and shadow. He quickly bowed and said respectfully:

"Disciple Sun pays homage to Grandpa!"

"Hmm..." The shadow stared at him and sent out a divine thought, "I can feel that your bloodline is pure, and the divine whip is in your hand. It seems that you are the current master of the Jiang family?"

"Exactly."

"Keep your head up."

"Yes."

Gao Qi raised his head and looked directly at Taigong's shadow.

"Since you are the leader of the Jiang family, you should know that although I have made contributions to the Conferred God, I have enjoyed all the blessings of the world, but have not yet completed the path of immortality. I have left a wisp of my divine consciousness here. I will become weaker every time I show my divine power. Unless it is difficult to exterminate my clan, future generations must not disturb me."

"I know!" Gao Qi explained quickly, "This is a time of great disaster. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to disturb Taigong's sweet dreams."

"Oh? What kind of disaster is it?" asked the shadow of Taigong.

Gao Qi had already thought of the wording, and said: "The eight surnames take turns to act on behalf of the heaven, which is the rule set after the merger of the East and West Kunlun. After this round, it should be the turn of our Jiang clan, but Si Yunyang deliberately picked a waste from my clan and cultivated him as a genius. His heart is worthy of death. Now the demonic energy outside the domain is turbulent, the stars are uncertain, and dragons and snakes are rising. Li Muchen, a disciple of Si Yunyang, rebelled against his master, established his own way outside the way of heaven, colluded with the Hades, led the world's evildoers to attack Tiandu, and Tiandu is in danger!"

"There is a Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in the sky. If there are demons invading the territory, just activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Qi."

"But the key to the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Formation is in Yun Yangzi's hands. If he refuses to activate it, there is nothing we can do."

"Why won't he start?"

"Li Muchen is his disciple, and he is biased. And I suspect that all this is a deliberate plot by him, with the purpose of monopolizing power, breaking the ancient rule of eight families taking turns, and kicking the other seven families out. The next rotating head should have been a disciple of our Jiang family, so the Jiang family should bear the brunt of it. It has reached the most critical moment. If no measures are taken, there may be a disaster of genocide!"

After Gao Qi finished speaking, he stole a glance at Taigong's shadow.

It was just a phantom, not a real entity. It was just a wisp of Taigong's divine consciousness. I didn't know whether it was emotionless or detached and indifferent, but I couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

The shadow was silent for a moment, then asked, "If that is the case, how can the seven elders allow him to do whatever he wants? And how can the law of nature just stand by and watch? You don't need to worry."

Gao Qi had expected that Taigong might say this, and had thought of a response, saying, "Taigong, you don't know that Si Yunyang is a very cunning man with far-reaching plans. He is also good at making flowery speeches and persuading others. The seven elders were deceived and alienated by him, and they were unable to form a joint force. My Jiang family suffered the most and can only seek to protect ourselves first. As for the way of heaven, although it will not stand by and watch, it will not protect my family and surname. By the time the way of heaven corrects its mistakes, I don't know if there will be anyone left in my Jiang family!"

"You are right. The eight families take turns to rule, and the ten thousand immortals rule together. This already represents the Way of Heaven. Your internal fighting is just the internal friction of the Way of Heaven itself." The shadow nodded and said, "How do you plan to protect the Jiang family and survive this crisis?"

Gao Qi said: "None of Si Yunyang's disciples can be trusted. I issued the Tiandu Order, and all the Taoists from all over the world came to protect the Dao, but they were blocked by 100,000 Yin soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Now Tiandu has no power to resist the enemy, and the Ten Thousand Immortals are in Si Yunyang's hands and are unwilling to launch an attack. So I can only go to the forbidden area to release Jianwu..."

"What?!" The indifferent shadow of the old man was horrified, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly deepened, as if there were terrible past events hidden in the ravines. "How could you... do such a stupid thing! Do you know who Jianwu is?"

"Of course I know." Gao Qi said, "He was the king of West Kunlun back then, and the leader respected by all the witches and wizards in the world."

"Since you knew, how could you let him go? In the battle between immortals and demons, Jianwu wavered and influenced the entire battle situation with his own strength. If Luwu hadn't gone to Yaochi to persuade Yang Hui, and had Yang Hui persuaded Jianwu to withdraw from the dispute for the sake of the people of the world, the outcome of that war would have been unknown. Luwu combined the strength of the eight clans and finally sealed him up. If you let him out, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain, which would definitely cause great trouble!"

"Reporting to Grandpa, Li Muchen is the descendant of the remnant of the Demon Cult, and he may have the residual warmth of the Heavenly Demon bloodline. Twenty years ago, the Hades' clone went to Tiandu to protect the Li family from giving birth to the demon fetus. Now Li Muchen has grown up. If we allow him to attack Tiandu, if he awakens the Heavenly Demon army sleeping under the black ice, only Jianwu can deal with it. That's why I dared to negotiate with Jianwu. Using demons to control demons is the only way I can think of."

"With the Demon Sealing Book here, the demon army can't get out." Taigong's shadow remained calm and didn't show any worry because of Gao Qi's words.

Gao Qi didn't dare to say that he had obtained the Demon-Sealing Book and was ready to release the demon army.

"Tai Gong, you don't know that now the demonic energy is turbulent, the earth veins are unstable, and secret realms all over the world are opening up. Even the Dragon Palace has reappeared in the world. The Kunlun Secret Realm is also showing signs of reopening. The black ice layer in Ningbing Valley is getting thinner and thinner, and it may crack at any time."

"Why didn't I feel it?" Taigong asked in surprise.

"I have already activated the Zixiao Tiangang formation and temporarily suppressed the evil spirit." Gao Qi said.

"No wonder I felt the strange phenomenon just now. It turned out that you activated the Zixiao Tiangang Formation."

"Taigong, not only the Kunlun Secret Realm, but also the Weak Water has long been dry."

"The Weak Water has stopped flowing... Is there any unusual movement from the Hades?"

"Not long ago, a female disciple in Tiandu was poisoned by Mo Fu and became pregnant with a demon fetus."

"Mo Fu?!" The Grand Master was finally slightly moved. "Once Mo Fu appears, the world will be in chaos! Where is that female disciple now?"

"I have locked him up in the Mountain and River State Map." Gao Qi replied, "There is no time in the map, so it can temporarily suppress the development of the demon fetus."

"Hmm..." Taigong seemed to have some hidden worries. "The wildness in the Mountains and Rivers Map has not yet been opened, and the sun and moon are not working. If the demon fetus gets angry and causes an explosion of spiritual energy, the world in the map may be out of control."

Gao Qi was stunned. This was something he had not expected.

But he was not worried, because the two dwarfs and Tu were in the Tiangang Formation and could not cause any trouble.

"Grandpa, this is all the conspiracy of Hades, and Si Yunyang did nothing for his own selfish reasons. He hindered me in every way and wanted to destroy the foundation of the Jiang family. It's okay for me to suffer some grievances, but how can I, the Shennong clan, be humiliated?"

Gao Qi raised his head and stole a glance at the shadow of Taigong, then said, "The most important thing is that the way of heaven is in danger. If no one steps forward, we may return to the ancient times, with demons rampant and lives destroyed!"

"But Hades is still in the Dark Sea, and Jianwu is in Kunlun. If you let Jianwu go, it would be like letting the flood come and stopping the disaster in the future. Jianwu is as terrifying as Hades."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I have already figured out Jianwu's weakness. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to let him out. But just in case, we need to have a foolproof plan."

"What's the surefire solution?"

"Now that our ancestor Luwu has passed away, the only thing that can defeat him is the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation." Gao Qi fell heavily to the ground and kowtowed, "Disciple Sun Qi, please grant me the Book of the Gods!"
