Chapter 169: Insults in the Court
The vast and mysterious purple qi, the Taiwei Jade Palace.

Every time Gu Yunli stepped into the fairyland, he always wondered where was this fairyland built?

Is there no way in or out except through the Four Heavenly Gates?
If so, then this huge fairyland is more like a cage of fairies than a residence of fairies!

Gu Yunli looked at the distant palaces that were submerged in the sea of ​​clouds, with only the palaces with golden beasts on their ridges standing in the clouds. His face was calm.

"The True Lord of the Cyberspace Domain, Gu Yunli, is here—"

Amid the long chanting of the usher, Gu Yunli stepped into the majestic Lingxiao Palace.

This was his first time stepping into the palace of the highest power in the Immortal Court.

The shiny black jade ground reflected figures with fluttering sleeves. On both sides of the gilded pillars that could be hugged by three people, golden dragons were perched, sharpening their claws, shaking their heads, and staring at them eagerly.

Inside the main hall, nearly a hundred immortal officials, holding jade tablets, stood on both sides.

Facing Gu Yunli's entry, some people tilted their heads to focus, some looked calm, and some had strange looks in their eyes.

At the front of the hall, the Three Emperors, the Ten Directions Heavenly Lords, the Four Heavenly Masters… are clearly visible.

However, it is worth mentioning that the highest immortal official present is only the second-rank immortal official. As for the first-rank immortal officials, the Six Emperors and the Five Elders, they are not included.

I don’t know if it’s because of his superior status or because he’s just too lazy to participate.

At the end of the hall, the Jade Emperor, the head of the Six Imperial Gods, is wearing a nine-chapter robe and a pearl crown with tassels on his head. The glittering pearl crown covers part of his face, adding to his majesty.

At a glance, it was as if he was digging out pearls, which made Gu Yunli's heart tremble. He quickly bowed and said, "Your humble servant Gu Yunli pays homage to Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor had no expression on his face, and asked in a tone that was neither sad nor happy: "It is widely rumored among the people that you have had many contacts with the Buddhist sect, and there are even rumors that you have acquired Buddhist magical powers. Is this true?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the immortal officials in the hall held their breath and focused their eyes on Gu Yunli.

Gu Yunli sighed in his heart, it was indeed because of this incident.

He wanted to deny it outright, but something occurred to him and he said, "Your Majesty, when I was preaching in Xiniu Hezhou, I did have some exposure to Buddhism. In order to localize the Internet, I also studied Buddhism a little."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall changed.

Many immortal officials subconsciously looked at Emperor Qingxu.

Taiyin Xingjun suddenly stepped out from the crowd and said sarcastically, "Colluding with Buddhism is collusion, so why use preaching as an excuse?"

Gu Yunli turned slightly to the side and glanced at him: "May I ask Xingjun, is the Buddhist sect a minister of my immortal dynasty?"

Taiyin Xingjun said with a cold face: "Of course."

Gu Yunli: "Since the Buddhist sect is a minister of our Immortal Dynasty, how can there be talk of collusion? If there is no talk of collusion, what does the Star Lord mean by what he said?"

Taiyin Xingjun's face changed drastically, and he angrily shouted, "How dare you, a mere seventh-rank immortal official, contradict me."

Gu Yunli angrily rebuked: "You are the one who is so presumptuous! What does His Majesty's question have to do with you? Do you have the intention of being disloyal by overstepping your authority?"

Taiyin Xingjun opened his mouth to speak, but Ziwei Emperor suddenly spoke: "Okay, Taiyin Xingjun, how can His Highness Lingxiao be so noisy? Since Gu Zhenzai has questioned him, just answer him. If you are so angry and embarrassed, where is the dignity of the immortal family?"

"The Emperor is absolutely right!"

Taiyin Xingjun's face changed slightly, he took a deep breath, and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I am concerned about the government and I was so angry that I said something I didn't think of. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Since we are discussing matters, how can we cover everything? A few slips of the tongue are understandable."

When Gu Yunli heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

The Jade Emperor is taking sides!
With just one sentence, Taiyin Star Lord was absolved of guilt.

"Your Majesty is so kind, I am deeply grateful..."

Taiyin Xingjun bowed his hands in gratitude, then looked at Gu Yunli and changed the subject: "What Gu Zhenzai said just now is very true. The Buddhist sect is a minister of our Immortal Dynasty, and Gu Zhenzai is also a pillar of our Immortal Dynasty. It is fine for ministers to have contact with each other, but if they form a clique for personal gain, how should they be punished?"

Good god, the collusion failed, and the accusation of forming a clique for personal gain was put on again.

Gu Yunli frowned and said, "Xingjun, please tell me frankly, is it the Buddhist sect that is acting for personal gain, or is it this humble official who is acting for personal gain?"

"It's you who are forming a clique for personal gain!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"This is the evidence!"

The Moon God threw a jade scepter over. Gu Yunli reached out to take it and probed his doubtful mind into it. His expression suddenly froze.

"Can such groundless talk be used as evidence? Do you dare to read it out in front of all the civil and military officials?"

Gu Yunli questioned Taiyin Star Lord in a harsh voice.

Indeed, the content in the jade scepter was exactly the integration of the content on the Internet that suspected that Gu Yunli was a disciple of Buddha.

A closer look revealed more than a dozen items.

I guess Taiyin Star God also found it ridiculous, so he threw a jade scepter over.

"Everything has its cause and effect. If Gu Zhenzai is upright and not afraid of being criticized, let me take a look at the Internet background and I will know!"

Gu Yunli laughed when he heard this: "You are here to seek revenge for your personal gain. Are you trying to steal my Internet secrets? There are rumors online that I am the incarnation of the Three Pure Ones. Do you want to call the Three Pure Ones to check me out?"

Taiyin Xingjun was furious: "How dare you, a lunatic, to criticize the Three Pure Ones?"

Ding Dong!

An illusory voice came from Gu Yunli's mind.

——It was a message from Emperor Qingxu, which only contained a simple sentence: "The Lord of the Star Sea is the Jade Emperor!"

Gu Yunli's expression remained unchanged. He subconsciously glanced at Emperor Qingxu and finally understood the root cause of this ridiculous farce before him.

He joined forces with the Three Emperors to set up a competition plan, which defeated other networks and was about to force them out of the Southern Continent.

The situation of Yuejing and Xinghai is the worst.

Yuejing Xinghai was obviously unwilling to sit there and wait for death.

A farce ensued, slandering him as a Buddhist.

Gu Yunli initially thought it was a despicable trick, but now he knows it was just a prelude!
Once public opinion becomes a big deal, it will be natural for the Immortal Court to initiate an investigation.

Although Gu Yunli has now defeated magic with magic and muddied the waters, this incident still gives the Immortal Court ample excuses.

So where should we check the Internet background now?

This is clearly an attempt to steal his Taoist ideas!
No, it can even be said to be his Internet.

If he guessed correctly, if he refused the examination of Taiyin Star Lord, the next person to appear would probably be the Jade Emperor.

After thinking this, Gu Yunli didn't even look at Taiyin Star Lord, but suddenly put his hand into his chest.

The phantom body is like water, creating ripples.

When he pulled out his right hand, a square object, which looked like iron but was not iron, emerged from the palm of his hand. There was a flashing red light on it, as bright as stars, and it was magnificent.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called the source of arithmetic sticks, and it is the core of the Internet. It is an innate spiritual tool that was conceived when I died and became a ghost. I would like to hand it over to Your Majesty for verification!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar, and countless people stared greedily at the thing in Gu Yunli's hand.

Then where is the innate spiritual weapon?

That is clearly the source of wealth, the uncrowned throne of the new era, the ladder to the top of the avenue...

"However, I have a request, Your Majesty, please agree to it."

Without waiting for the Jade Emperor to reply, Gu Yunli suddenly pointed at Taiyin Star Lord and said, "Taiyin Star Lord impeached the officials of the Immortal Court with unfounded words. If he is not severely punished, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger. If Your Majesty fails to find any results in the investigation, please punish him severely to serve as a warning to others."

The Jade Emperor looked at Gu Yunli expressionlessly, nodded slightly and said, "Approved!"

Gu Yunli added: "I have another request. I implore all civil and military officials to investigate together to show fairness."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the immortal officials in the court changed drastically, and they took a quick breath, looking at Gu Yunli with greed and shock. Was this a desperate move, spreading the Internet to the world?

The Jade Emperor grasped the armrests of the dragon throne with both hands, his eyes were deep, and a hint of shock and anger emerged in his heart.

If he agrees, the Internet will be flooded from then on, and it will be difficult for Xinghai Network to stand out!
If you don't agree, you will offend all the civil and military officials in the court.

Afterwards, Gu Yunli found an excuse to spread the source of counting sticks throughout the world, which also caused him to lose his advantage in Xinghai.

After a moment of shock and anger, the Jade Emperor quickly calmed down.

He looked at the source of the abacus in Gu Yunli's hand, and his mind suddenly moved. A thought came to his mind, and the next second, Taiyin Xingjun suddenly said loudly:
"Your Majesty, Gu Zhenzai once launched an energy sharing plan, and the core spiritual weapon is exactly the same as this thing. If you have a clear conscience, Gu Zhenzai, and let your majesty investigate, if this matter is slandered by me, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Lingxiao Palace fell into deathly silence, as quiet as a falling pin.

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Taiyin Star Lord. Many people even subconsciously glanced at the Jade Emperor, then quickly lowered their heads.

Letting go of your mind is the most horrible punishment for a monk.

Because this is equivalent to being completely defenseless.

If the other party is proficient in the art of puppetry and leaves behind some forbidden curses, it will be enough to make the person lose a layer of skin even if he doesn't die.

For a long-famous Golden Immortal like the Jade Emperor, what magic spell does he not know when looking around the world?
Even if he had any intention, Gu Yunli, with his celestial immortal cultivation, would not be able to detect it at all.

"How dare you! I, an immortal official, allow you to bully me!"

Emperor Qingxu was furious and started cursing at Taiyin Star Lord while pointing at his nose.

"You are the one who is so presumptuous. The Immortal Court belongs to His Majesty. When did it become your private army?"

The Moon God refused to give in and responded with a sharp curse.

"enough!"

The Jade Emperor interrupted their argument with an angry rebuke.

At the same time, Wanfu Tianzun stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a method that may be able to resolve the current dilemma."

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Speak!"

Wanfu Tianzun said: "Shangxiang Taixuan has a reputation for subduing demons and protecting the Dao. If we want to clear Gu Zhenzai of suspicion, one option is to investigate the source of the abacus. The second option is to let Emperor Qingxu protect Gu Zhenzai's soul and let Shangxiang Taixuan investigate. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

The Three Provinces of Taixuan are the eyes and ears of the Jade Emperor and are completely dependent on the Jade Emperor. When he takes action, he is equivalent to the Jade Emperor.

Moreover, his cultivation is relatively limited. Under the protection of Emperor Qingxu, the possibility of Gu Yunli being harmed is naturally very small.

Therefore, when the proposal was made, the Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Approved!"

"Ha ha……"

At this moment, an inappropriate laugh suddenly sounded in the hall.

This caused the immortal officials to tremble in their hearts. They looked in the direction of the sound and found that Gu Yunli, who was at the center of the incident, was grinning.

Seeing this, Taiyin Xingjun was overjoyed, but pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Yunli smiled and shook his head: "I laugh at the absurdity of this world. Even if you become an immortal, you still can't change your greedy nature."

Tai Xuan said: "Good for you Gu Zhenzai, who are you referring to?"

"I'm insinuating your mother!"

When Gu Yunli retorted, he suddenly pointed at the Jade Emperor's nose and started to curse:

"Old Jade Emperor, don't think I don't know that you are the Lord of the Star Sea. If you want your uncle's Internet, just say it directly. Why are you so nagging like this? How is that different from a woman?"

After the angry curse was heard, the hall suddenly fell silent.

All the civil and military officials in the court opened their eyes wide and looked at Gu Yunli in disbelief, their mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg.

The Immortal Court has enjoyed peace for a long time, how could such arrogant words ever appear?

Or are you pointing at the Jade Emperor's nose and cursing him?

Prime Minister Taixuan pointed at Gu Yunli with trembling fingers, his old face turned red as pig liver. He tried to say something, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Taiyin Xingjun, who had been impeaching Gu Yunli, was overjoyed when he saw this and angrily shouted:
"Get down on your knees, you ignorant bastard!"

As he spoke, he lifted up his wide robe sleeves and a pair of white jade rings hit Gu Yunli's knees.

[clang]

The white jade ring hit Gu Yunli's knee with a bang, making a sound of gold and jade colliding, and then a bronze armor was instantly draped over Gu Yunli. It was the mountain armor bestowed by Emperor Qingxu.

"What a good dog, stop licking the Jade Emperor's asshole and come lick your uncle. Plenty of shit!"

Gu Yunli cursed loudly, turned around and flew out of the hall.

"what--"

Upon hearing this, Taiyin Xingjun was so angry that he lost his temper and screamed wildly, rushing towards Gu Yunli like a madman: "I will kill you!"

At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court were in various poses;
Some people burst into laughter;

Some people were stunned;

There were also people whose eyes lit up, who made hand gestures, raised their magic weapons, and rushed towards Gu Yunli.

——There’s nothing wrong with being a dog. Some people want to be one, but there’s no way for them to do so yet!
"Go away!"

Gu Yunli looked at the civil and military officials coming towards him, and when he shouted angrily, countless flying swords shot out.

All of these flying swords are top-grade spiritual weapons, which were purchased by Gu Yunli at a huge price after he learned his lesson after being kidnapped by the evil monk Pu Guang.

With the cultivation level of a celestial being, it is still somewhat unrealistic to use so many flying swords.

However, how could Gu Yunli be a sacrificial envoy?

It was basically a one-time crazy smash!

After the mana is injected, let it flow and launch a saturation attack!

"not good!"

The immortal officials who came to intercept were basically all celestial beings. Seeing this, their faces changed slightly, and they quickly raised their protective magic weapons to block the attack.

During this delay, Gu Yunli had already summoned the Three Elements Yuan Cloud, broke out of the interception circle, and was about to escape from the law.

At this moment, the Golden Immortals who were proud of their status and watching from the sidelines could no longer sit still. Wanfu Tianzun narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his hand: "Come back!"

As soon as the words are spoken, the magic is revealed.

The spiritual energy that was originally raging and showing off its might suddenly calmed down, like a tired bird returning to the forest. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge palm in the air and slapped towards Gu Yunli.
Emperor Qingxu clasped his hands in his sleeves and suddenly made a hand gesture. However, as the magic power rippled, a hint of hesitation flashed across his brows, and the magic power at his fingertips dissipated.

At this moment, all the immortal officials who saw Wanfu Tianzun take action breathed a sigh of relief.

The Golden Immortal has taken action, and Gu Yunli has no way to escape!
"Boom!"

The immortal palm suddenly fell down, causing the Lingxiao Palace to tremble and splash countless mysterious lights.

It also made the hearts of the immortals and gods tremble.

This is the majesty of the Immortal Court!
Even if he is a genius and stirs up turmoil in the world, what does it matter?
In the hands of the second-grade immortal official Jinxian, he still couldn't survive a single move.

What a pity. He could have survived by offering the Internet, no, he only needed to offer a copy of the Internet. But now he chooses to insult the Jade Emperor. Now even Emperor Qingxu can't save him!
But then again, what was it that made him not hesitate to rebel against the Immortal Court, rather than be closely investigated?

As all the civil and military officials in the court sighed, a sarcastic remark suddenly came from the giant palm of the golden immortal.

"The great Ten Directions Celestial Lord is also imitating the Taiyin Star Lord to lick the Jade Emperor's asshole. It turns out that all his Golden Immortal cultivation has been wasted on a dog!"
