Chapter 386: Diverting trouble to the east and fishing in troubled waters

"The appearance that person transformed into was the image I often used when I was doing business in the mortal world."

Wen Rui said in a deep voice: "The most common occasions where I appear in that image are either trading with the four major sects of the Chan Sect or opening a commercial street in the secret camp."

"From this, I can infer that the guy pretending to be me might be a disciple of a sect in the mortal world. To be able to deceive the eyes of Fairy Yuqiao, that person must be at least a high-level celestial being. Doesn't this greatly narrow the scope of suspects?"

When Wen Rui went to the Ten Thousand Mountains to recruit the Bull Demon King and the Rakshasa Woman, he had already changed into the three-long-beard skin of COS Wen Zhong. The same was true when he went to the land to build a branch base.

Most of those who have seen his classic skin of Teacher Tony are monks from the four major sects of the Chan Sect.

"The next direction of investigation is to investigate the four major immortal sects of the Chan Sect, especially the immortal elders of each major sect!"

Wen Rui's expression was serious: "We will set off now and visit the four immortal sects of Yuding, Jinting, Ziyang and Yunxiao one by one, and take away all the elders and supreme elders above the immortal level of these four sects to assist in the investigation. I believe we will be able to find out the problem from them soon."

Taibai Jinxing looked embarrassed and said, "This is not good, right? The founder of the four major immortal sects is a golden immortal of the Chan Sect. The Heavenly Court has conferred him an honorary priesthood. If we rashly go to arrest him, the leaders of the four major sects may not cooperate."

"If they don't cooperate, then they have something to hide. Who knows what conspiracy they might be up to? This Marshal has mobilized 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to surround their sect. If they don't hand over the people, then they will kill everyone!"

The murderous words came out resolutely, and the murderous aura that Wen Rui had nurtured on the battlefield in the past suddenly burst out, appearing extremely majestic and fierce.

What does it mean to kill decisively? This is it!
"That's not right..." Taibai Jinxing was about to say a few words of advice when Wen Rui glared at him with a fierce look.

"They have been missing for three years. To put it bluntly, it is very likely that seven people were lost this time, and fourteen were brought back. You are not in a hurry. Aren't His Majesty the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother anxious to have a grandson?"

Princess Longji frowned and said, "They are just some fairies from the lower realm. How dare they put on airs in front of the gods from the heaven? We are not convicting them. We are just asking them to cooperate with the investigation. Why are they unwilling to do so? I think there is nothing wrong with this. The most important thing is to find my sisters as soon as possible!"

Wen Rui said confidently, "In an emergency, we should take extraordinary measures. We finally got a new clue but we are afraid to act, which will only lead to major mistakes! Anyway, it's not my family that is missing. If something really happens to the Seven Fairies, you can go and explain it to His Majesty and the Queen alone. I won't take the blame for you."

"That's not what I meant." Taibai Jinxing couldn't argue with Wen Rui, and said with a bitter face: "Even if we follow the emperor's wishes, even if we arrest the elders of the four major immortal sects, how can we investigate?"

Wen Ruiyin smiled and said, "What can you not ask for under Sanmu? I heard that the Heavenly Prison has many ways to torture the immortals. They can tie them to the pillars of heaven and poke their ribs with flying swords every day, throw them into the reincarnation well to be reborn as pigs, or roast them slowly in Laojun's alchemy furnace. Sooner or later, their mouths will be pried open."

Taibai Jinxing: "I always feel that something is not right. Is it really okay to do this? Won't it be a false accusation against a good person?"

"It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. You, as an immortal, are not aware enough."

Wen Rui scolded, "The gods from the upper realms who work for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother still care about wrongly accusing thousands or tens of thousands of sentient beings from the lower realms? Not arresting and torturing all sentient beings within a thousand miles of the four great immortal sects is already a great mercy from this emperor."

"That's true... but you're being too blunt." Taibai Jinxing had a conflicted expression. "If it were some independent sect, it would be fine, but this is a mortal temple founded by a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect. We must be mindful of the impact and not go too far..."

“We do things, that’s it.”

Wen Rui said arrogantly: "Are you a god of the Chan sect or a god of heaven? What's wrong with the Chan sect's Golden Immortal? Just because you made some small contributions five hundred years ago, you can rest on your laurels and become a figure that no one can afford to offend? You can ride on the neck of the Jade Emperor... Ahem, you can't say anything disrespectful to the Jade Emperor." "Taibai Jinxing, don't delay time." Princess Longji was impatient and didn't think very well. She said with a bad face: "My sisters are in danger. If there is any suspicion, isn't it right to arrest and interrogate them? What are your intentions?"

"Well...Okay, I'll follow the orders of the two gods."

Seeing that Wen Rui and Long Ji were rolling up their sleeves, Taibai Jinxing knew that if he said any more nonsense, he would be subjected to a mixed doubles match between men and women, so he had to nod in agreement against his will.

Wen Rui raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.

In fact, everything he said was nonsense...

This is called "the determination to destroy the Chan sect has not died". If he can find a chance to severely harm the Chan sect, he will never miss it.

The immortal disciples of the four major sects of the Chan sect who were stranded in the mortal world were indeed suspicious, but the suspicion was not actually great.

How could these blockheads who only knew how to practice cultivation possibly have a deep understanding of something as mundane as electronic products?

The technology developed by intercepting the rules of the Heavenly Dao is in fundamental conflict with the founding philosophy of the Chan Sect, which is to explain the Heavenly Dao. Since they have different paths, they will absolutely not be able to work together.

Judging from this point alone, the suspicion of him being an immortal disciple of the Chan sect can be basically ruled out.

It's a rainy day and you can beat the child if you have nothing to do. The lost person is not from Wen Rui's family, so it doesn't matter whether he can be found or not. What's important is that we can take this opportunity to improve the completion rate of the task of reviving Jiejiao.

By suppressing the power of the Chan sect in the mortal world, wouldn't it be equivalent to increasing the influence of the Jie sect?

As for who Wen Rui really suspected, the one currently ranked first is actually the Western Church. His classic skin of Teacher Tony also appeared in Lingshan during the transaction of exchanging gold sand for scriptures.

Moreover, compared to the importance that the Heavenly Court attached to its own "Law of Creation", the Western Church was far superior. He was probably already on a blacklist within the Western Church.

It is said that fox demons are good at changing and bewitching people, but don’t forget that the Bodhisattvas’ transformation skills are even more superb, and their grasp of people’s hearts is no less than that of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The acting skills of the Western teachings' disciples are equally first-rate. When they change their appearances and go forth to save sentient beings, they can really act out any role.

When the mama-san and her daughters are testing their Zen hearts, only the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils can see through it.

As for the great supernatural power of concealing time, it is somewhat related to and similar to the Western belief in the power of knowing cause and effect and destiny.

Of course, this is just Wen Rui's speculation and may not be the truth.

Directing the spearhead at the four major sects of the Chan Sect, in addition to trying to speed up the progress bar of the task of reviving the Jie Sect, is also to release a smokescreen, making the mastermind behind the scenes think that Wen Rui's investigation ability is nothing special, thus relaxing his vigilance and revealing more flaws.
