I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 388 - 66: Mountain Shouts and Tidal Waves, Paying Respect to the Taoist
Only Chu Zhihe was completely collapsed, she even disregarded the dignity of an Immortal, stood up, and shouted hysterically, "Impossible, this is impossible, how could he be a reincarnated immortal?"
"He’s just a fraud, a traitor. True Monarch, did you make a mistake?"
"Presumptuous!" Yi Hongchen was already somewhat dissatisfied with the indifference of the crowd earlier, and now he sternly rebuked, immediately gathering thunder and lightning into a long whip.
The words had barely fallen when the lightning from above the Nine Heavens descended and struck Chu Zhihe viciously.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
It struck her three times, leaving her clothes unharmed, but her body and Primordial Spirit were nearly shattered, almost dying on the spot.
Even the marriage magic planted inside her by Qi Zhiyuan was directly extinguished, dissipating into a burst of red light.
"What, are you questioning me? Do you think you see more clearly than I?"
Yi Hongchen said indifferently, "If not for the fact that you are the mother of the Sect prodigy Chu Tiange, I would have already made you vanish."
At this moment, Chu Zhihe was already beaten into unconsciousness, unable to say a word.
But the punishment from the Immortal was enough to shock all the Sect Elders, especially the Tao Vein Elders and disciples, whose faces turned pale.
"What kind of cultivation does the True Monarch have? How could she be mistaken?"
"It seems this time it’s truly Chu Zhihe who lost her mind, wanting to retaliate against the Yi family father and son, so she spread this immense lie."
"We all got dragged into this by that woman, almost treating a reincarnated immortal as a traitor, how absurd."
"Chu Zhihe is relying not only on avenging herself but more importantly paving the way for her son. If anything happens to the Yi family father and son, Chu Tiange could legitimately ascend to the position of Sect Leader."
"Who knew this woman had such deep schemes..."
"Fortunately, the Immortal Monarch descended; otherwise, we might still be left in the dark by this woman."
"Slandering a reincarnated immortal is an egregious crime; this woman really deserves death..."
Many Sect Elders were filled with resentment and curses towards Chu Zhihe in their hearts.
Some Tao Vein Elders even directly turned against her, kneeling on the ground, loudly declaring, "Immortal Monarch, Chu Zhihe slandered the Taoist as a traitor from other sects, aiming for personal revenge, and to vie for power for her own son. Such deeds are simply unforgivable."
"I propose to revoke her elder qualification, imprison her in the Law Enforcement Hall, summon Chu Tiange for questioning, and resolutely not condone this."
"Indeed, this woman with malicious intentions framed the Taoist, almost cutting off our Sect’s True Immortal, she must not be spared; please, True Monarch, order the execution of Chu Zhihe and her son to serve as a warning to others."
"Exactly, it should be so."
"I second the motion."
"I also second the motion."
For a moment, the crowd was agitated, as if everyone had become Chu Zhihe’s enemy, shouting for her to be beaten and killed.
Lu Chengfeng watched all this coldly; these people were just fickle individuals, seeing the Yi family Immortals’ arrival, and now becoming sycophants as they change sides faster than flipping a page. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
In his memory, when Chu Tiange was forced to awaken the Great Emperor’s Dharma Form, making Yi Hongchen kneel and surrender, these same people who were kneeling and cursing Chu Zhihe now wore a different face.
"Enough." Yi Hongchen spoke gently, but as soon as she spoke, everyone obediently shut their mouths, even those speaking were left with their mouths open, not daring to utter another sound.
"Though the ancient saying goes: if the son is not taught, it is the father’s fault, but Zhang Zhijing is dead, and Chu Tiange has already left Li Mountain, Chu Zhihe’s fault is unrelated to him, I will not casually punish."
"However, the reason Chu Tiange descended the mountain was because I gifted him an opportunity."
"Wushuang..."
"Disciple here." Lu Chengfeng respectfully replied.
"Years ago, I arranged for Chu Tiange to go to the Central Capital’s Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, on the thirty-third level of that Ten Thousand Images Massacre lies an extraordinary opportunity." Yi Hongchen looked at him and said, "That opportunity was left by a predecessor Immortal; if uncovered, it would be immensely useful even for Ascension, offering numerous benefits."
"Since you are a reincarnated True Immortal and the Taoist of our Sect, you may go and try such an opportunity. Are you willing to go?"
Lu Chengfeng already knew through Qi Lingxi and previous glimpses into the future that Chu Tiange is now on the thirty-third level of the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, refining the Immortal Artifact Qianyuan Golden Tripod left behind by Chu Xiangtian.
But the reason he had not wanted to seize this Immortal Artifact or disrupt Chu Tiange’s actions was simple, because the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre was Yi Hongchen’s domain.
In fact, the entire Ten Thousand Forms Massacre is essentially an Immortal Artifact, Yi Hongchen’s personal Immortal Artifact, the thirty-third level Taiwu Golden Pagoda.
Later, Yi Hongchen and Chu Tiange battled, the thirty-third level Taiwu Golden Pagoda rose, causing heaven and earth to crumble, turning the entire Central State to ashes and killing billions.
Having glimpsed this corner of the future, Lu Chengfeng naturally witnessed that earth-shattering scene.
The thirty-third level of the Taiwu Golden Pagoda is indeed the entrance to Yi Hongchen’s Taiwu Grotto Heaven, practically beneath the Old Witch’s nose.
Even if Lu Chengfeng had immense courage, he wouldn’t dare to court death by going there.
However, now...
Upon hearing Yi Hongchen’s words, his face immediately showed a look of joy, "Thank you, Ancestor, the disciple can’t ask for more."
"That’s good." Yi Hongchen nodded, "Chu Tiange has been at the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre for several years; the refining of that Immortal Artifact is nearing completion. If you go now, you might return empty-handed."
