# Chapter 3229: Meeting Jue Miao Again
Blazing Sun Heavenly Master panted slightly, blood qi churning within his body, feeling secretly grateful in his heart.
Fortunately, Xue Changjin had acted in time. This Gong Shang's cultivation was terrifyingly high. Even without using the Earth Cauldron, he was already vaguely suppressing him. If they truly fought to the end, he would definitely embarrass himself.
He had been too impulsive just now!
Seeing Xue Changjin make his move, several of Gong Shang's old acquaintances from the Underworld Clan among those present shouted reprimands. Some declared that the Underworld Clan could not be bullied, and that if Xue Changjin dared to act, the Underworld Clan's gods would jointly punish him.
Xue Changjin's eyes were deep and gloomy. "Sir, are you really Gong Shang?"
Zhang Ruochen remained calm in his heart. "What, doubting this Heavenly Son's identity?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Gong Shang followed Gong Tian on an expedition to the Kunlun Realm a hundred thousand years ago and had already fallen. Even his Divine Throne Planet went dark. How could he still be alive? Even Gong Tian himself announced your death to the outside world," Xue Changjin said.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Who says that if a Divine Throne Planet goes dark, one must have fallen? In that battle a hundred thousand years ago, I was indeed severely wounded. Fortunately, I obtained the Earth Cauldron in the temporal turbulence of the Void World, allowing me to be reborn. I'm too lazy to say more about these matters with you, Xue Changjin. Your identity as a Quantity Envoy has already been confirmed. Stop trying to confuse the issue."
"Is it that you're too lazy to say more, or that you can't explain clearly?" Blazing Sun Heavenly Master said.
Xue Changjin, with the confident demeanor of someone who had already seen through you, said, "I sense something unusual about your divine power. It doesn't seem to come from the Underworld Clan."
Xue Changjin's divine soul was powerful, ranking among the very top below the Infinite Realm. Perhaps he had indeed sensed some clues.
Zhang Ruochen said, "You are not of the Underworld Clan, yet you dare to say such things? Underworld Clan gods present here, do you think this Heavenly Son's divine qi belongs to the Underworld Clan or not?"
Which Underworld Clan god present would dare to offend Gong Shang?
Besides, not everyone had a divine soul as powerful as Xue Changjin's. Naturally, they all criticized Xue Changjin one after another, voicing grievances for Zhang Ruochen.
"I am of the Underworld Clan. May I speak a word of fairness?"
From within the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, a clear, water-like gentle voice emerged.
The voice contained Buddhist essence, calming restlessness and returning one to tranquility.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old nun walked out from the Ghost Emperor's Mansion. She wore a green Buddhist robe with wide sleeves fluttering like lotus leaves. She radiated spiritual energy, her divine charm inwardly refined, yet carried an intangible, lofty authority.
Behind the green-robed nun followed divine corpse generals, one after another.
These divine corpse generals seemed to stand in a different void, appearing and disappearing.
"Greetings to the Chan Nu Highness."
The gods present all bowed in salute, far more respectful than they had been toward Gong Shang.
Even peak Taixu existences like Blazing Sun Heavenly Master, Xue Changjin, and Ghost Lord all restrained their sharpness and voluntarily showed weakness.
There was no helping it—this was a world where the strong were revered.
Rumor had it that Jue Miao Chan Nu, at Xinghuantian, had fought to a standstill with Xuan Yi, who was known as the number one strong below the Infinite Realm. Holding the Mani Pearl, she dared to challenge Divine Kings.
Even more rumors said she had obtained a divine army left behind by Yinxue Tian.
Seeing the divine corpse generals behind her now, the gods present undoubtedly confirmed this point.
Without a divine army, she already ranked third on the comprehensive list of the "Great God Theory." With the might of a divine army, who below the Infinite Realm could rival her?
This was a true supreme being who looked down upon the entire Hell Realm. In the future, she might become a super powerhouse like Yinxue Tian, who dominated an entire era of the Hell Realm!
Blazing Sun Heavenly Master immediately greeted her with a smiling face, full of flattery. "With Chan Nu Highness's arrival, you can naturally distinguish whether Gong Shang is real or fake."
Ghost Lord smiled slightly, confident that his judgment was absolutely correct.
Xue Changjin was full of confidence, believing he could use Jue Miao Chan Nu's hand to eliminate Gong Shang. Otherwise, the plans he was scheming behind the scenes would be very difficult to implement.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Unexpected. Chan Nu has cultivated Buddhism all her life, secluded in the Nether Hall for hundreds of thousands of years. In the end, you still couldn't bear the loneliness and have emerged into the world."
"I originally did not wish to participate in the killings and conflicts of the world, nor did I want to take control of the Nether Hall's great power. But, unfortunately, I promised a close friend to help him accomplish something. Without power, I cannot do it. Without emerging into the world, I cannot succeed," Jue Miao Chan Nu said.
Zhang Ruochen understood. Jue Miao had seen through his identity.
The so-called close friend—wasn't that him?
Jue Miao's own cultivation and divine soul had both reached the pinnacle. Coupled with the fact that Zhang Ruochen had used Underworld Clan methods earlier, it could fool others, but how could it fool her?
She had a certain understanding of Zhang Ruochen's First-rank Divine Path.
This made things much easier!
With Jue Miao Chan Nu present, Zhang Ruochen was even more relaxed. He smiled and said, "Does Chan Nu Highness think this Heavenly Son is real or fake?"
"Hard to say," Jue Miao Chan Nu said.
Zhang Ruochen's face darkened. You said we were close friends, and then you say something like this?
"A monk does not speak falsely," she said.
In the Abyss of Darkness, you didn't act like a monk at all. You were full of lies, and when you struck ruthlessly, there was not a trace of compassion.
Zhang Ruochen even wondered if he had somehow offended her.
Could it be that she was upset about not being invited to his wedding feast?
Zhang Ruochen said, "Chan Nu, be careful with your words. We of the Underworld Clan shouldn't fight among ourselves, only inviting ridicule from outsiders."
"Would Gong Tianzi dare to enter my Buddhist realm? Or perhaps exchange a few moves with me. After forcing you to go all out, I might see more," Jue Miao Chan Nu said very seriously, her eyes filled with a scrutinizing attitude.
The gods of the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Mansion, Blazing Sun Clan, and the seven clans of Hundred Clans Royal City all showed smiles in their eyes, seeing that Gong Shang had run into big trouble.
It couldn't be ruled out that Jue Miao Chan Nu might take this opportunity to eliminate him and seize the Earth Cauldron.
Once inside the Buddhist realm, it would be very difficult to come out again!
This was the consequence of being too arrogant.
After thinking it over repeatedly, Zhang Ruochen finally decided to enter Jue Miao Chan Nu's Buddhist realm.
After entering the Buddhist realm, Zhang Ruochen changed his appearance under the mask to his true face. "What exactly do you want? I came to the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Mansion for an important matter. If you are my close friend, help me. Even if you won't help, don't cause trouble."
Jue Miao Chan Nu's true form descended before Zhang Ruochen, delicate as a lotus, fresh and elegant. "Ruochen Realm Lord has quite the imposing manner. Do you even know what kind of existence you are speaking to?"
Zhang Ruochen really didn't know how he had offended her. "What exactly do you want?"
Jue Miao Chan Nu said, "There is a person with extremely powerful spiritual power lurking in the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Mansion. If we hadn't entered my Buddhist realm, our conversation might have been sensed by him."
Zhang Ruochen immediately understood, realizing he had misunderstood her. "Spiritual power so strong that even you can't isolate his perception?"
"Using the Mani Pearl would work, but it would be too deliberate and would inevitably arouse suspicion," Jue Miao Chan Nu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, "A spiritual power expert of this level—there are only a few in the entire Hell Realm. Since he's lurking in the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Mansion, he's most likely a big shot from the Quantity Organization. Do you have the confidence to deal with him?"
"With the Mani Pearl in hand, unless one's spiritual power has entered the eighty-fifth rank, who can be my match? But I'm afraid you won't be willing to part with it," Jue Miao Chan Nu said.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked in his heart. "You mean, it's her?"
"I can't be certain. I can't even determine their gender. But the possibility is very high. Because their rune path attainments are very high! I tracked them all the way to Fengdu Ghost City. We briefly exchanged moves on the road," Jue Miao Chan Nu said.
Very high rune path attainments, and terrifying spiritual power.
The possibility of it being Wu Yue was indeed very high.
Zhang Ruochen had certainly suspected Wu Yue of being a member of the Quantity Organization. He pondered for a moment. "There's nothing I'm not willing to part with. My marriage alliance with her was forced from the beginning, full of various entanglements of interest and scheming calculations. She was like that, and so was I."
Jue Miao Chan Nu sighed softly and gently shook her head.
Those eyes, though very large and beautiful, seemed to say the word "scumbag."
Zhang Ruochen said, "Of course, she saved me back then, and I promised I owed her a life. I won't forget that. You don't need to look at me with so much disdain. There really isn't much emotion between her and me. In any case, the Quantity Organization needs to be extinguished as quickly as possible."
Jue Miao Chan Nu said, "What you asked me to do, I have already done."
Zhang Ruochen showed joy. "Thank you."
Earlier, Jue Miao Chan Nu had said that the reason she emerged into the world and took control of the Nether Hall was because she had promised him that matter.
The Zhang family's Severing Dao Curse had apparently disappeared!
The grudges of Immovable Bright King Great Venerable, Ling Yanzi, and Yinxue Tian from back then had finally been resolved in later generations, achieving true reconciliation.
Although this was exchanged by Zhang Ruochen for the Mani Pearl, Jue Miao Chan Nu must have put in effort to accomplish this, and she would have to bear the future karmic consequences.
"What about the Arhat White Pearl I gave you?"
Jue Miao Chan Nu suddenly asked, her eyes flowing with light, her eyelashes each one beautiful.
Zhang Ruochen was very composed, speaking leisurely. "Such a Buddhist treasure must be used in the most appropriate place. I have made proper arrangements and placed it well... How is it with you?"
Jue Miao Chan Nu took out the large, Buddha-light-shimmering Arhat White Pearl, held it in her hand, and placed it before his eyes.
...
These two chapters only have five thousand words. I really am no good...
A man finally admits that he is no good.
