Clearly, the two, emboldened by the Jade Emperor's backing, did not fear being killed by Jin Chanzi or Sun Kong, as they were protected by the Seal Demon Ranking.
Even if their physical bodies perished, their primordial spirits could be resurrected.
The Seal Demon Ranking, a fusion of the Investiture of the Gods and the peculiar techniques of the demon race, possessed a power so formidable that even beings below the Saint realm found it difficult to destroy.
It also ensured that no deity on the list would meet their ultimate demise.
This was the source of their arrogance.
However, what the two failed to anticipate was that Sun Kong's words implied that if he couldn't deal with them, he would hand them over to Rahu for disposal.
After all, Sun Kong and Jin Chanzi could at most destroy their physical bodies but could not truly annihilate them. But at the hands of the cruel and malicious Rahu, it would be different.
With Rahu and the demon race's methods, the two would undoubtedly suffer ten thousand times the torment, unable to live and unable to die.
Worse than death!
Thus, before Sun Kong could truly hand them over to Rahu, before Jin Chanzi could hesitate for a few moments, and before Rahu outside could react,
The two trusted confidants of the Jade Emperor, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing and the Southern Pole Immortal Weng, knelt down on the spot.
While begging for mercy,
They confessed the entire cause and effect of their mission to stir up trouble.
In an instant, Jin Chanzi was enraged and harbored murderous intent, abandoning his benevolent nature.
Sun Kong, on the other hand, was greatly astonished by the Jade Emperor's cruelty.
Moreover, as the two were so shocked by Sun Kong for the first time, it unexpectedly triggered a long-absent reward from the system.
Not the usual 'fear' points or the like.
But a truly substantial reward!
Ding! The host has shocked the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, causing him, who already revered the host, to tremble even more and dare not resist. In his heart, he is considering whether to return to Burning Lamp Buddha's sect.
Reward: A fragment of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's Exquisite Pagoda, one piece.
Note: This Exquisite Pagoda was personally crafted by Burning Lamp Buddha using materials he sought out after Li Jing betrayed Master Du'e and pledged allegiance to Burning Lamp Buddha. It possesses the ability to imprison beings and collect items.
Although not overly powerful, it is merely an ordinary innate spiritual treasure. However, due to the extensive karma involved, it cannot be forcibly seized and can only be obtained through repeated shocking of Li Jing.
If the host obtains the complete treasure, it can significantly improve the relationship between Burning Lamp Buddha and the host. In the future, when Shakyamuni establishes the Pure Land of Sukhavati, it will gain an additional fighter at the Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal level.
This Exquisite Pagoda has a total of seven layers, meaning seven fragments. Each layer conceals a congenital merit spiritual treasure: the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the Rose Immortal Sword, the God-Shocking Halberd, the Qiankun Ruler, the Heavenly Net Umbrella, the Pure World Whisk, and the Heaven-Battling Thorn.
Among these, the Three-Legged Golden Crow originates from Chan Master Wuchao himself. The host can return it to Chan Master Wuchao upon obtaining it, deepening their relationship.
Furthermore, the six congenital merit spiritual treasures from the other six layers also have their own origins. The host can use them personally or gift them to their original owners, allowing the new lineage of Mount Huaguo to gain more support.
The first reward comes from the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, which is none other than the fact that this fellow is indeed a double-dealer!
Originally a general of the Shang Dynasty in Chentang Pass, due to the mischievousness of his third son, Nezha, and the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, he betrayed the Shang Dynasty and defected to Xiqi.
Later, he was supposed to cooperate with his first master, Laojun's second disciple, Master Du'e. However, after the Ten Thousand Immortals Array of the Jie School, seeing the disadvantage of the disciples of the Human and Chan Schools, he betrayed them again, defecting to Burning Lamp Buddha. He was highly valued by Burning Lamp Buddha, who supported him, and after the Investiture of the Gods, he became the foremost military general in the Heavenly Court.
In this regard, it can be considered that he abandoned darkness for light.
However, who would have thought that due to Rahu's carelessness and Sun Kong's decisiveness, Li Jing would commit his third betrayal in life?
This time, he betrayed Burning Lamp Buddha and the Jade Emperor, revealing all the Jade Emperor's plans. While this brought significant gains to Sun Kong and Jin Chanzi, it also led to even greater contempt for him!
However, before Sun Kong could deal with these two further, since the Southern Pole Immortal Weng also had a multi-faceted identity similar to Li Jing, the reward for him was also prompted.
And,
It was not inferior to Li Jing's,
But even more precious than his!
Ding! The host has shocked the Southern Pole Immortal Weng, causing him, who already revered the host, to tremble even more and dare not resist. In his heart, he is considering whether to return to Primordial Heavenly Venerate's sect.
Reward: A fragment of the Southern Pole Immortal Weng's Nine Yang Whisk, one piece.
Collecting all nine fragments can synthesize the complete Nine Yang Whisk.
Note: This Nine Yang Whisk was awarded to the Southern Pole Immortal Weng when he was born on Kunlun Mountain and became a registered disciple of the Chan School's leader, the Holy Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Jade.
The whisk possesses considerable power. Although it is an ordinary innate spiritual treasure, it was crafted by Primordial Heavenly Venerate himself, who personally infused a drop of Pangu's essence blood into it, hoping to accelerate the Southern Pole Immortal Weng's cultivation.
Now, the host has obtained this whisk. Although the Pangu's essence blood cannot be directly extracted, the host can find ways to negotiate with Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and perhaps have an opportunity to reach an agreement on its distribution.
Furthermore, this Southern Pole Immortal Weng has a younger brother, the Southern Pole Star Lord. During the second trial, the Southern Pole Star Lord was negligent, causing an incident for Jin Chanzi's family, and has already been suppressed and punished by the Jade Emperor.
The host can not only bring the Southern Pole Immortal Weng back to the Chan School, further deepening the relationship between Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the host, but also use this individual to sow discord among the Jade Emperor's subordinates, achieving unexpected battle results.
Upon hearing this, Sun Kong was almost so excited he wanted to sing and dance.
Indeed, this system was honest.
Compared to Li Jing's Exquisite Pagoda, the Southern Pole Immortal Weng's Nine Yang Whisk, originating from Primordial Heavenly Venerate's hands and infused with a drop of Pangu's essence blood, was indeed more precious!
Not to mention, there was a drop of Pangu's essence blood that could potentially be negotiated with Primordial Heavenly Venerate. Sun Kong truly wished to return to the Chan School and settle this matter as soon as possible.
But at this moment,
Outside the door, someone no one expected suddenly returned, shocking Jin Chanzi, frightening Li Jing and the Southern Pole Immortal Weng to tears,
But it also caused Sun Kong to instantly raise all his cultivation and reach a state of extreme alertness.
Because the person who arrived was none other than Rahu, who had left and returned!
"Brother Sun, your methods are impressive. With a few words, you've made two elders of the Heavenly Court back down. However, I wonder what you have to say about this matter."
"Perhaps, if you say something that pleases me, I can rescue you from here right now."
Rahu's eyes were filled with probing, clearly lacking confidence!
Seeing this, Sun Kong smiled.
On the side, the Southern Pole Immortal Weng's reaction was relatively normal; he would sever ties with the Jade Emperor and Rahu, and cling tightly to Sun Kong's leg.
As for Li Jing, whether it was due to more brain damage, he uttered three sentences consecutively.
Each sentence offended one person.
After three sentences, he had actually caused both the enemy and ally sides to fall silent!
