Chapter 348 - 342: Total Chaos
Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:
After a brief panic, Wu Nengsheng calmed down.
Soon, Wu Nengsheng realized that although the Peacock Great Ming King saw through his schemes, he had no intention of interfering.
Because these words were privately transmitted to him by the Peacock Great Ming King.
If the Peacock Great Ming King wanted to expose him, there was no need to transmit sound; he could simply make what he knew public.
"Hmph!" Thinking of this, Wu Nengsheng snorted coldly, muttering to himself, "Truly wants to be a saint while being a hypocrite."
Wu Nengsheng saw that the Peacock Great Ming King didn’t want the World Honored One to achieve enlightenment, yet didn’t want to offend the World Honored One either.
No matter which side won in the end, it was beneficial to him.
If the World Honored One won, and the Peacock Great Ming King hadn’t acted against him, he would still be the Peacock Great Ming King.
If the World Honored One failed, then Tier Two Powerhouses of the Mysterious World would all have hope to achieve enlightenment, including the Peacock Great Ming King.
This person was quite shrewd, choosing to keep himself uninvolved, offending neither side.
Even though Wu Nengsheng felt somewhat aggrieved, he didn’t dare to shift the blame onto the Peacock Great Ming King.
If by any chance he offended him, provoking him to switch sides and stand by the World Honored One, Wu Nengsheng would be in deep trouble.
Thinking of this, Wu Nengsheng looked at the congregation in the great hall and cheerfully said, "Tiger Robe Ming King and Chiguo Heaven brothers are both under the Peacock Great Ming King’s authority."
"The more this is the case, the more difficult it is for the Peacock Great Ming King to express an opinion. No matter how he expresses himself, one side will inevitably feel he is unjust."
"Since this is the case, I’ll take the blame for doing the dirty work! All of you pitch in to first locate Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven."
"Once we find them, I’ll deploy my methods to determine whether they are traitors, with one test."
After Wu Nengsheng finished his words, the face of the Peacock Great Ming King on the left Lotus Platform twitched involuntarily.
The Peacock Great Ming King thought to himself, Wu Nengsheng is really vicious!
The Peacock Great Ming King trusted Wu Nengsheng’s methods.
Once Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven are found, they could definitely find out what happened in the City of Sin.
Wu Nengsheng sending the entire congregation to find Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven would only result in one situation.
The second-generation cultivators standing by Tiger Robe Ming King’s faction will try their utmost to obliterate Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven’s souls.
Because only dead men tell no tales, thereby confirming Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven’s betrayal.
While those standing by Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven’s faction would try their best to protect them, bringing them back to clarify the truth.
One side wants to kill, the other wants to protect; inevitably a conflict will arise between these two factions.
Even past grievances might also get resolved through this opportunity.
The Peacock Great Ming King seemed to briefly witness a scene of rivers of blood.
The Peacock Great Ming King hesitated momentarily but didn’t stop anything, pretending he knew nothing.
After hearing Wu Nengsheng’s words, Great Brahma Heaven cupped his hands and said, "Your judgment is fair, we shall now start looking for Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven!"
After finishing these words, Great Brahma Heaven exchanged glances with those around him, immediately grasping everyone’s intent.
Lian Huasheng and others also cupped their hands and said, "Your judgment is fair."
Lian Huasheng thought Wu Nengsheng’s method seemed sound; only by finding Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven, the involved parties, could they ascertain the truth.
"Since none of you have objections, go ahead!" Wu Nengsheng waved his hand, signaling the congregation to disperse.
Soon, the congregation in the great hall dispersed.
At this moment, only Wu Nengsheng and the Peacock Great Ming King remained in the great hall.
"Peacock..." Wu Nengsheng started.
However, before Wu Nengsheng could speak, the Peacock Great Ming King interrupted him, saying, "Whatever you intend to do is none of my concern; it has nothing to do with me."
"Likewise, I won’t get involved in these affairs."
With these words, the Peacock Great Ming King’s figure vanished from the Lotus Platform.
After returning to his dao field, the Peacock Great Ming King immediately ordered the mountain to be sealed.
Even with Wu Nengsheng personally stepping in, obstructing the World Honored One’s path to enlightenment.
He knew that the Mysterious World would likely usher in turbulent times.
The Peacock Great Ming King chose directly to retreat into seclusion, but at his level, unless he achieves enlightenment, his power is hard to improve.
When the Peacock Great Ming King entered seclusion, a mischievous young woman wanted to go down the mountain but was stopped by the Kaiming Beast guarding the mountain.
"Young lady, the Honored One ordered the mountain to be sealed, you cannot go down!" The Kaiming Beast said with difficulty.
However, a green light flashed behind the girl, and the two Kaiming Beasts vanished from their original spot.
"Hehe!" The girl laughed, "If I go down the mountain myself, you two are sure to report."
"I’ll take you both along; that way, you can’t report, right?"
"I’m just too clever."
After saying that, the girl transformed into a green light, disappearing without a trace.
Being addressed as young lady by the Kaiming Beast, it appears she might be the daughter of the Peacock Great Ming King.
In the World Honored One Sect, it’s normal for a sect leader to marry and have children.
Even the World Honored One has Lady Ming King as a daughter.
Lady Ming King is also the wife of the Unmoving Ming King.
So, the Peacock Great Ming King having a daughter is also quite normal.
The Peacock Great Ming King ordered the mountain sealed to avoid getting involved in these chaotic matters.
Little did he know, his daughter sneaked out, even taking his two Kaiming Beasts.
...
...
"Cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
In a desolate mountain, from a certain cave, a series of violent coughs rang out.
Inside the cave, the two were none other than Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven.
After a bout of violent coughing, each spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood.
The blood was black and foul-smelling, appearing to have been accumulating within their bodies for some time.
After expelling this stagnant blood, Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven’s condition significantly improved.
"Second brother, how is your injury?" Guangmu Heaven asked.
Zengzhang Heaven wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and replied, "Much better, around sixty to seventy percent of my strength has recovered."
"I’ve also recovered about sixty to seventy percent of my strength!" Guangmu Heaven said.
After leaving the City of Sin, Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven’s injuries were too severe to return to the sect.
Forced by circumstances, the brothers temporarily found a place to heal, intending to return to the sect once recovered.
However, their injuries were too grave, making the healing process take up over ten days.
Wu Nengsheng spread various rumors within the sect, saying Chiguo Heaven’s four brothers were traitors, others saying the deceased Tiger Robe Ming King was a traitor.
Recently, there’s been talk of Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven procuring an extraordinary treasure from Lin Yuan.
This treasure is the very trump card that allowed Lin Yuan to stir up a storm despite only possessing Tier Four power.
