Chapter 627 But do you dare make me kneel?
Inside the main hall, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
After Chen Changsheng uttered the words "I have met the Primordial Sage," the expressions of the Twelve Golden Immortals changed almost simultaneously.
It wasn't because he said something wrong.
It was because he didn't kneel.
At Jade Void Palace, before the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, a disciple of the Intercepting Sect, a junior, merely cupped his hands in greeting.
If this gets out, where will the Chan Sect put its face?
Chi Jingzi was the first to lose his temper.
He was already seething with anger, having been suppressed by Chen Changsheng before. Now that he finally had the chance to see this kid in front of his master, he couldn't possibly hold back any longer.
"How dare you!"
Chi Jingzi took a step forward, and the Yin-Yang Mirror vibrated slightly in his palm.
"Chen Changsheng, this is Jade Void Palace!"
"You dare not kneel before a sage?"
Cihang Daoren also spoke coldly.
"The etiquette of Taoism distinguishes between the noble and the lowly."
"Although you have some reputation outside, you should know the rules when you come to the sacred place."
"Is this how the Jie Sect teaches its disciples?"
Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, gave a soft hum.
"Master above, how dare you, a mere junior of the Jie Sect, be so insolent?"
"If I don't teach you manners today, outsiders will think that my Chan Sect has no one left."
After those few words, the atmosphere in the hall grew even colder.
Guang Chengzi stood aside, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Just now outside the hall, he had already bowed his head once in front of Chen Changsheng.
He hadn't swallowed his anger yet.
Now that Chi Jingzi and the others had spoken, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
The God-Slaying Whip was returned.
But the power that needs to be suppressed must still be suppressed.
Otherwise, this kid would really think that Jade Void Palace is his backyard.
Yang Jian's heart tightened, and he immediately looked at Chen Changsheng.
He knew Chen Changsheng's temperament all too well.
This guy usually smiles and seems easy to talk to, but if someone really puts him in a difficult position, he's definitely not one to suffer.
Especially Chi Jingzi and Cihang's words, which were clearly just an excuse to make a fuss.
If this gets out of hand, things could get really messy.
Master Yu Ding also frowned secretly.
He knew that Chen Changsheng was an envoy of the Heavenly Court today and that he still possessed the God-Slaying Whip.
There's really no need to argue about whether or not to kneel at this point.
But since Chi Jingzi and the others had already spoken, and the matter had been brought to the forefront, he couldn't forcefully stop them in front of his master.
Chen Changsheng stood in the hall, his face showing no sign of panic.
He found it amusing to hear these people constantly talking about being bold and polite.
coming.
They arrived as expected.
The people of the Chan Sect are still the same as ever.
I'd try to take down anyone I could find.
such a pity.
In today's situation, it's really uncertain who will press whom.
Chen Changsheng slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Chi Jingzi, Cihang, Wenshu, and the others.
"I understand what you senior masters mean."
"Are you saying that I, Chen Changsheng, must kneel today?"
Chi Jingzi said coldly, "One should kneel before a sage."
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"OK."
"Then let me ask you a question."
"In what capacity am I kneeling?"
Chi Jingzi frowned.
"You are naturally identified as a disciple of the Jie Sect."
Chen Changsheng smiled.
"For disciples of the Jie Sect, it is sufficient to greet the sages of the Chan Sect with a cupped-hand salute."
"If we consider the common origin of the three religions, my grandmaster Tongtian Jiaozhu and my grandmaster Yuanshi are brothers."
"By addressing him as my senior master, I have already shown proper respect."
"What, are the rules of the Chan Sect even stricter than those of the Xuan Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingzi's face immediately turned ugly.
Chen Changsheng didn't give him a chance to speak again, and took another step forward.
boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.
That wasn't the aura of an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal.
That was the pressure of a late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal's Dao Fruit.
The Great Dao Thunder Pattern flowed around his body, his physical body and blood surged, and the Three Flowers Dao Rhyme invisibly opened up a world that belonged only to him.
Inside the main hall, many disciples of the Chan Sect felt a chill in their hearts.
Even Guang Chengzi's breathing paused for a moment.
How could this kid's aura be so strong?
The last time they heard that he had broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, the members of the Chan Sect already thought it was outrageous.
But seeing it with my own eyes today, I realize that the rumors were too conservative.
This is no ordinary quasi-saint.
This pressure is already approaching the threshold of a near-saint.
Chi Jingzi originally wanted to reprimand him a few more times, but the aura pressed down on him head-on, making his chest feel tight, and the words he was about to say just wouldn't come out.
Cihang Daoist's face also darkened.
She didn't want to admit it, but she knew it very well in her heart.
If they were to actually fight, without the help of a sage, none of these Golden Immortals could reliably suppress Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng stood in the center of everyone's gaze, his tone calm.
"Let's talk about the second identity."
"I am the Dharma Protector of the Xuanmen appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and I am responsible for protecting the Xuanmen."
"This position was not privately appointed by the Jie Sect, nor was it privately bestowed by the Heavenly Court; rather, it was determined by the Zixiao Palace."
"May I ask, Master Yuanshi?"
Chen Changsheng looked up at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was sitting high on the cloud bed.
"As a protector of the Xuanmen sect, is it necessary to kneel before a Xuanmen saint?"
"If my senior master says so, I will kneel down immediately."
The main hall fell silent instantly.
Chi Jingzi shut up.
Cihang Daoren also stopped speaking.
Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyelids twitched, and he cursed inwardly.
That kid really knows how to pick his targets.
Xuanmen protector.
Once those four words are mentioned, who would dare to suppress him?
That was the title given by the Dao Ancestor.
Let alone the Twelve Golden Immortals, even the Primordial Heavenly Lord could not publicly deny the imperial decree from the Purple Cloud Palace.
If Yuanshi Tianzun truly said he wanted to kneel, it would be tantamount to admitting that the Dharma Protectors of the Xuanmen are inferior to the Sages within the Xuanmen.
These words were not just meant to pressure Chen Changsheng.
This is also a slap in the face to the Dao Ancestor.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat on his cloud bed, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.
But in his heart, things had already turned cold.
good boy.
He immediately brought up the Dao Ancestor when he opened his mouth.
This isn't asking him whether he wants to kneel.
This is forcing him to make a public statement.
To say that would be to lose sight of the true meaning of Taoism would be to abandon it.
If they said they didn't need it, then the rebuke from the Chan Sect disciples would have become a complete joke.
This situation made Yuanshi Tianzun very uncomfortable.
In particular, Chen Changsheng's words, "I will kneel down immediately," sounded polite, but were actually meant to shut him up.
If you tell me to kneel, I will kneel.
But do you dare make me kneel?
Inside the main hall, the twelve Golden Immortals each had their own thoughts.
Master Huanglong lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Given the situation, he knew he couldn't speak carelessly.
Anyone who touches Chen Changsheng's mouth will feel numb.
When Taiyi Zhenren saw that the identity of Nezha's future master had not yet been revealed, he also felt that it was a troublesome matter.
This guy is so powerful right now, and he also holds the title, he's really difficult to deal with.
Yu Ding Zhenren stood beside Yang Jian, sighing inwardly.
really.
He knew Chen Changsheng wouldn't accept this show of force for nothing.
This time, not only did he not kneel, he also suppressed the arrogance of the Chan Sect members.
Yang Jian watched Chen Changsheng's retreating figure, feeling both anxious and impressed.
This brother-in-law is really bold.
They dare to speak like this even in front of a sage.
But what he said was so reasonable and well-founded that no one could find fault with it.
