After Bai Jin left, Primordial Venerable sat alone in the great hall, suddenly feeling a sense of loss. Although he usually disapproved of Tongtian, he had to admit that in the aspect of teaching disciples, Tongtian was much stronger than himself.
While the disciples of the Chan Sect were still wallowing in the joy of their great victory, any member of the Law Enforcement Team could easily annihilate the entire Chan Sect.
As the disciples of the Chan Sect were still trying to find ways to escape their fated calamity, Bai Jin had already willingly entered the calamity, strategizing to help himself. Sigh~ How enviable indeed!
After Bai Jin left Kunlun Mountain, he immediately set off for the East Sea, his heart filled with joy. He had just gained the support of his master and two elder masters, and now was the time to rescue others. The Jie Sect could not be saved, but there were some fellow disciples he had to rescue.
No sooner had Bai Jin returned to the Three Light Immortal Path than he saw two figures standing there: Zhao Gongming and Shen Gongbao.
A stream of white light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Bird’s Nest, transforming into the figure of Bai Jin, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
Shen Gongbao quickly knelt on the ground, banging his head in grief, and cried, "Senior brother above, your junior brother is guilty!"
Bai Jin calmly asked, "You are Shen Gongbao, right? What crime have you committed?"
With heartfelt sorrow, Shen Gongbao said, "Some days ago, Feathered Immortal Master Kong Xuan of the Law Enforcement Team went to assist in battle, defeating the Chan Sect of the Western Sect repeatedly, sealing more than ten Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect as well as Buddhas of the Western Sect, causing both the Chan Sect and the Western Sect not to dare to engage in battle, shaking the entire Primordial World.
In the end, however, he was ambushed by treacherous means with a Magic Treasure summoned by Jiang Ziya, leading to Feathered Immortal’s defeat, his life and death unknown.
Me and Wen Zhong wanted to rescue him but had no means to do so. I have let down the Jie Sect, I have let down Feathered Immortal Master! Please, senior brother, impose punishment."
Bai Jin looked down at Shen Gongbao, a realization rising within him. No wonder he was able to have many Immortal Gods march to their deaths for him; he truly was a person who valued relationships. Reaching a hand down, he said, "Stand up."
Shen Gongbao, unable to control himself, stood up.
Zhao Gongming hurriedly asked, "Team leader, who is it that suppressed Feathered Immortal? Let’s go rescue him right away."
Shen Gongbao also quickly added, "Feathered Immortal Master fought alone against the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, demonstrating the might of the Jie Sect. I beseech senior brother to give the order to rescue Feathered Immortal."
Bai Jin shook his head and said, "He cannot be rescued."
Shen Gongbao immediately exclaimed, "How can he not be rescued? There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Jie Sect."
"They all would rather have the entire Law Enforcement Team suppressed."
Zhao Gongming fell silent. Within the Jie Sect, the Law Enforcement Team was disliked by Immortals and loathed by Gods, indeed just as the team leader said – without friends.
Zhao Gongming firmly said, "Senior brother, even if the other disciples of the Jie Sect do not take action, we must rescue Golden Peng. Golden Peng defeated the Chan Sect and the Western Sect alone. How heroic is he? How can we allow him to be suppressed? Please, senior brother, inform us of Golden Peng’s whereabouts."
"At Wa Emperor Heaven."
Zhao Gongming suddenly fell silent, his eyes filled with bewilderment. Why would it be in Wa Emperor Heaven? Why would Nuwa intervene against Golden Peng? When had Golden Peng offended Nuwa?
Bai Jin placed his hand on Zhao Gongming’s shoulder, consoling him, "Go back! Golden Peng is not in danger. I have my plans."
Zhao Gongming responded helplessly, "Yes! Senior brother, you must rescue him!"
"Go back and tell Kong Xuan and the others, there is no need to worry."
"Yes!" Zhao Gongming answered, turning to leave.
Bai Jin turned to Shen Gongbao, smiling lightly, "Do you have any other matters, Fellow Daoist?"
Hesitating for a moment, Shen Gongbao said, "Previously, Feathered Immortal Master reprimanded Wen Zhong, accusing him of using the lives of Jie Sect disciples to demonstrate loyalty to the Shang Dynasty. Each word thundered like a storm, making me tremble with fear back then. But now, some Jie Sect disciples have voluntarily joined the Sealing God War, should we refuse them?"
Bai Jin calmly said, "Shen Gong junior brother, continue to do as you have done before. We Jie Sect disciples fear not death, but value loyalty most."
Shen Gongbao looked at Bai Jin in surprise, and then said gratefully, "Thank you, senior brother!"
Bai Jin smiled faintly, "Go on! Do well. Oh yes, among the troops of Xi Qi, there are some disciples of the Western Sect. Except for that Jin Naluo, I hope the rest can make it onto the list."
A fierce light flashed through Shen Gongbao’s eyes, "Yes, I understand what to do."
Bai Jin patted Shen Gongbao’s shoulder and said, "Go with confidence and boldness, the tens of thousands of Jie Sect disciples are your strong support."
Shen Gongbao nodded firmly, moved, "Yes! I will behead those disciples of the Western Sect." He turned and strode away, arriving at the edge of the island, mounting the Black Panther and treading across the sea’s surface.
The battle of Golden Peng destroyed the prestige of the Western Sect and the Chan Sect in the Primordial World, once again raising the reputation of the Jie Sect to its peak. Subsequently, numerous Jie Sect Outer Disciples set out to sea to join the Sealing God War, with many disciples meeting their fated destiny, and various Great Powers displaying their Divine Skills, resulting in a story very different from the myths of previous lives.
Three years passed and Bai Jin once again stepped out of the Three Lights Immortal Island and entered the Law Enforcement Temple.
Zhao Gongming and Kong Xuan, who were on duty, hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully, "We greet the team leader."
Bai Jin returned the gesture, standing up straight and speaking, "Since the Sealing God Battle began, the Jie Sect has been suppressed by the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, leading to our Jie Sect’s decline in reputation. Three years ago, Feathered Immortal went to the sea and fought valiantly, almost annihilating the Chan Sect and the Western Sect completely.
The Sealing God War has continued for three years, with the Chan Sect and the Western Sect flexing their powers again. Who among you is willing to go to sea and uphold the might of the Jie Sect?"
Kong Xuan and Zhao Gongming both stepped forward simultaneously, exchanging glances.
Kong Xuan said with a smile, "Brother Gongming, as the deputy leader of our Law Enforcement Team, how can you take action personally? Let us, the junior brothers, handle this!"
