Chapter 869 A Special Tribute...A Reward!
The azure dragon parted the clouds and headed eastward to report back to Mount Tai.
Inside the dragon-shaped chariot, the six fox attendants carefully concealed their aura and emotions, wishing they could immediately turn into dust and not attract the slightest attention.
While Chunjing is somewhat better, its improvement is still limited.
Gong Mengbi hadn't actually hidden anything from her; it was just that with her sixth-rank cultivation level, she couldn't quite understand where Gong Mengbi's strength lay.
She had already guessed it in her heart, but Gong Mengbi's extraordinary abilities still exceeded her expectations, to the point that she was now somewhat dazed, as if she were in a dream.
Chun Jingshu shook her head and walked to Gong Mengbi's side, whispering, "Envoy, when you were fighting, the City God of Xiaqiu stayed by my side for a while."
Gong Mengbi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hmm? Did he say anything?"
Since Chun Jing Shu had already spoken her mind, she wouldn't hide anything: "The City God of Xiaqiu asked about our origins, and I didn't hide anything. He said he would impeach us and told us to wait."
Gong Mengbi chuckled softly: "If he really impeaches us, it will be considered that he has done his duty. Although he dares not interfere in our power struggle, it will still be considered that he has made a contribution to the investigation."
"He's about to impeach us, so why is the envoy still speaking up for him?"
"I'm not speaking up for him, but these days it's not easy to find a City God who's willing to do the right thing."
Chun Jing Shu frowned and asked, "What if he really impeaches us?"
"It's a minor matter. If we are truly punished, it's nothing more than a sin of recklessly using supernatural powers and lightly displaying our divine abilities to people. However, the cause of this matter lies with the King of Lu himself setting up the arena to recruit people from outside the secular world, so we can't be entirely blamed. We won't be severely punished."
"I'm afraid some people might use this as an excuse to make trouble." Chun Jing Shu lowered her eyes.
Gong Mengbi glanced at her and said with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder."
Chun Jing Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She truly had never imagined that Gong Meng Bi could possess such abilities. She didn't know much about the Demon Trial to begin with, only that it was a tricky task, and that the purpose was to use this opportunity to make things difficult for Gong Meng Bi.
Even though Gong Mengbi had knocked down the disciples and relatives of Master Chang and that Sun Palace God, she only thought that Gong Mengbi was a tough guy who relied on the support of Master Xun. She never thought that he was a great cultivator who could go toe-to-toe with Master Chang and that Sun Palace God.
It wasn't until she had completely defeated Mingxiazi that Chun Jingshu belatedly realized that Gong Mingfu was already a great immortal who could be ranked alongside the Three Immortals.
With such cultivation, it means that even the Three Immortals couldn't easily eliminate Gong Mengbi using petty tricks. In fact, considering Gong Mengbi's supernatural abilities, they would have to be hesitant to act against him. In other words, it would be very difficult to do anything to Gong Mengbi.
Looking back at Gong Mengbi's actions and words, one realizes what "education" truly means. Compared to the three aloof immortals, Gong Mengbi is beyond being described as merely approachable.
Although she hadn't yet made up her mind, Chun Jing Shu had clearly already subconsciously prepared her attitude. Seeing Gong Meng Bi fiddling with the Demon Examination Golden Book, she reminded him, "Envoy, once the Demon Examination is over, you can submit your memorial to the Golden Book directly. There's no need to wait until you return to the Demon Examination Hall."
"I don't need to submit a petition; the person collecting the gold register has already arrived." Gong Mengbi sighed, somewhat troubled.
The golden book shimmered in his hand, carrying a divine gentleness.
Chun Jingshu was puzzled, but the next moment, the already spacious carriage expanded again for no reason, and a bright and clear road was squeezed into the carriage, merging into the three inches of space leading to the curtain.
Boom! A drumbeat resounded, and a wonderful fragrance slowly wafted into the carriage, while fragrant flowers began to gently fall from the sky.
Chun Jing Shu opened her eyes wide. On the other side of the road, a divine chariot was slowly being pulled by a golden giant. The chariot was magnificent and exquisitely crafted. Four goddesses sprinkled fragrant mist and spiritual rain at the four corners of the chariot, and all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs bloomed along the way.
A spiritual breeze blew by, and Chun Jing Shu felt her spirits rejoice, experiencing a sense of ethereal bliss. Several fox attendants closed their eyes, spread their arms, and drifted along with the breeze.
A ball of clear light shone from Gong Mengbi's body, as cold as the moon, and froze the spirits that wanted to drift away with the wind in place.
The golden giant dragged the divine chariot closer and knelt on either side of it. The curtain of the chariot was then slowly pulled open, revealing a young man dressed in blue. This young man had slender eyebrows and eyes, and looked remarkably similar to Gong Mengbi.
Chun Jing Shu was startled and came to her senses. She glanced at the young man in blue, then at Gong Meng Bi, and assumed that the two were brothers born of the same mother.
"Gong Mingfu, we meet again."
Gong Mengbi rose and stepped forward, bowing respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Demon King of Guidance."
The blue-robed Demon King laughed heartily and stretched out his hand. The golden book in Gong Mengbi's hand transformed into a golden star, landing in front of the Demon King and unfolding to display all the demonic trials.
The Qin family used the law to harm others and suffered the consequences; Zhang Daoren stole elixirs to refine magic and damaged his own true essence; Cheng Daoren set up an array to ward off calamity but was instead struck by the calamity's waves. At this point, the golden book began to flip rapidly, its flickering light and shadow transforming into a celestial magic seal, which eventually gave rise to a new scene: Ming Xiazi, riding her Yin-Yang Dharma Body, was struck by divine lightning, causing her Dharma Body to perish, while her true body was damaged and she fled.
The Demon King closed the golden book with satisfaction, his slender eyebrows and eyes smiling in a way that was exactly like Gong Mengbi's: "I told you you should join my sect, but you just wouldn't agree."
Gong Mengbi refused to engage with him on this topic and asked, "I am just a lowly sixth-rank demonic examiner, examining three seventh-rank cultivators. Why would I trouble you to personally examine them?"
"You don't know this, but Mingxiazi is also undergoing the demonic test, just not assigned to you. Although you took someone else's job, you also preserved his cultivation. He didn't dare to take credit and reported it to me, so naturally I had to come and personally reward you!"
Gong Mengbi ignored his intentional slip of the tongue; he had already experienced the mischievousness of the Demon King.
His concern was: "Is Mingxiazi also undergoing the demonic test?"
“Mingxiazi frequently visits the Heavenly Palace, paving the way for his future ascension to a position there. With such a divine ambition, how could he not undergo demonic trials?”
Gong Mengbi frowned and said, "Was his demonic test difficult, so much so that the examiner made a special report?"
The Demon King's slender eyes fixed on Gong Mengbi, and he said softly, "I can't tell you that."
He then advised, "But are you really not considering coming with me? If you come with me, you can avoid this big trouble."
Gong Mengbi laughed instead: "Demon King, stop testing me. I am utterly loyal to Your Majesty."
The Demon King remained noncommittal, only saying, "Your Majesty is not a petty person." He looked at Gong Mengbi meaningfully, "You still have a long way to go."
Gong Mengbi could only thank him for his appreciation, but there was no way he could agree. The Taishan lineage was of one blood, and he had refused no amount of benefits offered by the Prefect, so how could he possibly agree to guide the Demon King?
Seeing his rudeness, the Demon King reached out and threw a beam of light from the divine chariot, which struck Gong Mengbi squarely on the forehead, causing him to stumble.
Then the entire void trembled slightly again, and the divine path that had squeezed in slowly disappeared into the carriage. The Demon King and his party disappeared along with the divine path.
"Gong Mingfu, your trial of demonic powers is not far off!"
Gong Mengbi straightened up and watched the Demon King depart, knowing that he would not let him off so easily.
Once the lingering effects of the divine path had completely disappeared, Chun Jing Shu asked softly, "Envoy, is that Demon King your brother?"
"If he takes a liking to you, he'll become your sister."
