Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms,1068 The Loyal Jiang Ziya - Read free novels online

Chen Xiaobei: Main point? Does Jiang Ziya have a different motive for helping me? Is he conspiring against me?

Yanwang: He let you eat the 9,000 years-old Saturn Peach, what conspiracy is that? Jiang Ziya is sincere!

Chang'e: But something bad happened after he helped you! Goddess Zixia told me that both the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were called in to Kunlun's Domain of Purity, that is where the Primordial Lord of Heaven cultivates himself! They returned black-faced; they had obviously been reprimanded!

Xiao Tianquan: More importantly, Shen Gongpao came to the house looking for God Erlang!

Chen Xiaobei: Why would he be looking for God Erlang?

Xiao Tianquan: Don't you know? The Twelve Golden Deities of Chanism, Yuding Zhenren is God Erlang's Sifu! Shen Gongpao had obviously come to discuss a plot!

Chen Xiaobei: What was it? Don't you know?

Xiao Tianquan: I don't know. I was asked to leave the room during the discussion. When I asked him afterward, God Erlang refused to tell me anything!

Chen Xiaobei: Are you guys worried that Shen Gongpao is working with God Erlang to challenge me?

Xiao Tianquan: Yup! God Erlang is my master and you are my good friend. I don't wish for anything to come between the two of you!

Chen Xiaobei: Alright. I know what I have to do—I'll go back and talk to Jiang Ziya first! Whatever it is that Shen Gongpao has planned won't be executed just yet. We still have time to get ready!

Yanwang: We just wanted to give you a heads up! Monkey King has gone to acquire more information about it for you. It shouldn't be a big problem!

Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much, everyone! You care for me even at a time like this! Please thank Monkey King for me!

After the short discussion, Chen Xiaobei had a whole new perspective of things.

Primordial Lord of Heaven had always regarded Jiang Ziya as his most esteemed disciple! You could say he was his golden boy! But during the Saturn Peach Festival, Jiang Ziya secretly helped Chen Xiaobei get the 9,000 years-old Saturn Peach! That was an act of betrayal toward Chanism and the Primordial Lord of Heaven! It goes without saying that the Primordial Lord of Heaven was livid when he found out!

Revenge was served!

This was not just about getting even with Chen Xiaobei, this was also about getting back at Jiang Ziya! Chen Xiaobei was in a blind about this but luckily for him, he had his loyal brothers from the brotherhood to warn him! Everything was still inconclusive as of now, but at least Chen Xiaobei would not be caught on the hop.

When he returned to the forest, everyone else was still in hiding there.

"Bro Bei! You're finally back!" Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu were jumping up and down with excitement.

"How's the progress? Did you get what we were looking for?" Li Xiang asked anxiously.

"No!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, "I got the brocade box but the thing inside is a key to another treasury!"

Li Xiang sighed, disappointed.

"Then there's only one target left on our list—The Divine Sovereign Sect! They are monolithic, almost impenetrable! One wrong move and we are done for!"

There was a glimmer in Chen Xiaobei's eyes as he said, "Don't worry! I am making preparations to confront the Divine Sovereign Sect!"

Demonic Fox's wedding was in four days!

No matter what, Chen Xiaobei must infiltrate the Divine Sovereign Sect and find out the truth.

"Do you have any plans? Tell me!" Li Xiang pressed.

"I haven't had a chance to think about it yet. I'll set it aside for now. I have things I need to discuss with Elder Jiang first," Chen Xiaobei replied.

"Alright." Li Xiang nodded judiciously, and went to join Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu, leaving Chen Xiaobei to talk to Jiang Ziya and Six Ear Macaque,

"What is it? You have something you want to ask me?"

Jiang Ziya grinned confidently.

Chen Xiaobei smiled back at him and said, "Who would've thought that you would help me at such a critical time! Since when did your conscience catch up with you?"

"You helped me attract so many disciples and I had said that I would help you in return!" Jiang Ziya said.

"Don't you know the consequences of doing that? Why would you take such a risk?" Chen Xiaobei asked again.

"That's because I'm a man with a deep sense of obligation! I wanted to repay your kindness, not only for helping with my mission but also to for saving my life!" Jiang Ziya said introspectively. "Six Ear Macaque told me that you went to Shallow Grass Hill to collect the gift that afternoon. Even though you knew that you would be surrounded by your enemies, you still went on your own anyway! Instead of asking him to save you, you sent Six Ear Macaque to save me! I must return the favor!"

Six Ear Macaque nodded and said, "The situation that day was dicey! If I hadn't come on time, Elder Jiang would've fallen into the hands of the enemy and tortured! He might even be dead by now!"

Chen Xiaobei nodded and beamed, "People who know to express their gratitude are usually decent people. It looks like there's a chance we could become friends!"

"Whoa! Hold on there!" Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "I will never become your friend! Once I've repaid your kindness, I'm no longer indebted to you!"

"Oh? Are you saying that we are still enemies?"

Chen Xiaobei chuckled.

Jiang Ziya said, "The number of disciples I have has already exceeded three million! I've already accomplished my mission and I can finally go back to heaven! The Primordial Lord of Heaven will not use me for any important work anymore! So, from now on, we are neither friends nor enemies!"

"Old man, you really are a man of loyalty, aren't you? You are even willing to sacrifice your future to repay my kindness!" Chen Xiaobei's smile turned grim. "Since you are so dutiful, let me just lay the cards on the table: You will not be able to return to the heavenly realm!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ziya queried. "The condition of the Three Realms Mission was to get three million disciples. I've already achieved that. So, why can't I go back?"

Chen Xiaobei explained, "You helping me during the Saturn Peach Fest angered the Primordial Lord of Heaven! Don't you know that? After the fest, both the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were summoned to the Kunlun's Domain of Purity and were berated!"

"No way…" Jiang Ziya's face fell and he muttered, "Queen Mother owed me, big time. It shouldn't be a problem even if she gave away a 9,000 years-old Saturn Peach without reason! In fact, your gift deserved to be placed first! The Primordial Lord of Heaven might be angry, but why would he purposely summon Jade Emperor and Queen Mother just to lambaste them over something so trivial? You must be messing with me! Things are not as severe as you say it is!"

Jiang Ziya swung his head back and forth in denial.

He had already mentally prepared himself to live like an exile when he returned to the heavenly realm, never to be used again!

He refused to believe that such a small issue would snowball into something so dire!

"I'm not messing with you!" Chen Xiaobei said honestly, "Six Ears, give Jiang Ziya his phone back so that he can contact the people he trusts!"

"Here!" Six Ear Macaque took out Jiang Ziya's phone.

"Okay! Let me ask Lei Zhenzi!" Jiang Ziya took back his phone.
