Chapter 42 Nuwa's Favor!
Chapter 42 Nuwa's Favor!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Lu Ya is completely at Your Majesty's mercy and dares not boast any further!"
Lu Ya slid to his knees at lightning speed, but he was puzzled as to whether he or Zhao Gongming was a member of the Nuwa Palace.
It seems that Nuwa is more biased towards Zhao Gongming now.
Nuwa glanced at Lu Ya, feeling both annoyed and disappointed.
Do you not see the two enormous golden wheels of merit behind Zhao Gongming's head?
Such a level of accumulated merit, even if not compared to the Heavenly Saints, would easily rank among the top five in the entire prehistoric world.
Now Lu Ya is spouting nonsense about the Way of Heaven in front of Zhao Gongming. Isn't that shameful?
However, considering Lu Ya's identity, Nuwa still said, "Zhao Gongming, please let this go for my sake, how about it?"
This Lu Ya is one of the ten sons of the ancient Golden Crow, and also the only Golden Crow remaining in the primordial world.
Killing them would be a terrible waste!
A sage, of all people, could explain so much to a Great Immortal.
On the one hand, Lu Ya was indeed in the wrong, ignorant of fate, and was even chased to Nuwa's Palace, which was not a glorious thing to say.
On the one hand, it was naturally because of Zhao Gongming's identity: a direct disciple of the Jie Sect and a person of merit.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that he addresses me as "Uncle-Master" means that if I'm unreasonable, I won't be able to speak properly to Senior Brother Tongtian in the future.
Zhao Gongming glanced at Nuwa and said calmly, "Your Majesty is wise. If it were anything else, I would have let it go!"
However, Lu Ya used sorcery to harm me. If it weren't for the protective treasure bestowed upon me by my master, I would have died and been listed on the list without even knowing why!
My master bestowed upon me the Qingping Sword and entrusted me with the leadership of the Jie Sect, which was originally intended to rectify the situation.
"If I were to perish on this list, how could I possibly face my master, or my fellow disciples of the Jie Sect!"
It's just playing the victim; anyone can do that.
As they spoke, Zhao Gongming took out the Qingping Sword, and upon seeing this, Nuwa's expression changed slightly.
The Qingping Sword is the treasure used by the Tongtian Sect Leader to prove his Dao, and its meaning is also different.
Lu Ya felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, as if the sky were about to collapse.
He entered the calamity to gain some merit and fortune, but he never expected that the target he randomly chose would be the acting leader of the Jie Sect who had the Qingping Sword by his side. Most importantly, this acting leader had also disguised himself as a member of the Western Sect. The secret contained in this was enough to kill many Quasi-Saint level experts.
"I never expected that Senior Brother Tongtian would bestow such a treasure upon you!"
When Nuwa spoke, she was also quite embarrassed.
What Zhao Gongming said was true. The Chan and Jie factions were fighting each other, and even if someone died and was listed on the list, they had no one to blame but themselves.
But what kind of nonsense is it for you, Golden Crow, to interfere and secretly harm people with curses?
The cause and effect of this death also involves the future leader of a supreme sect.
Even she found it difficult to handle at this moment.
After some deliberation, Nuwa said, "Lu Ya was wrong in this matter. I will use two innate spiritual treasures to settle this matter. What do you say?"
As she spoke, with a wave of her sleeves, more than a dozen or so orbs of light, shimmering with rich precious light, appeared before Zhao Gongming.
"From these treasures, you may choose any two: the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the Red Embroidered Ball, and the Qiankun Cauldron—all are included. If you're lucky, take them!"
Nuwa spoke, but this time, it was Zhao Gongming's turn to be surprised.
The "Landscape Map" and the "Red Embroidered Ball" are both renowned treasures.
Among them, the Mountain and River Map forms its own world, while the Red Embroidered Ball is a precious treasure for witnessing marriages in the primordial world, capable of witnessing three marriages: one between Heaven, Earth, and Man.
As for the Qiankun Cauldron, it is a legendary innate treasure. The exciting chapter "Chapter 42: Nuwa's Favor!" is now online. Click to read it first! It has the ability to defy the innate and was originally in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
During the great calamity of the Lich King, the pillar of heaven collapsed. Nuwa, together with the saints, repaired the heavens and was rewarded with this innate treasure, which was bestowed upon her by the Dao Ancestor and ended up in the hands of the Goddess Nuwa.
Unexpectedly, the goddess Nuwa brought out all these treasures.
If he were to forcefully kill Lu Ya, he would be acting tactlessly.
Of course, he had expected this result. As a former saint of the demon race, he would not sit idly by and watch this "only one" make the list.
Now that Nuwa's attitude has been made clear, the next step is naturally to maximize our interests.
At the same time, Lu Ya must also be restrained. He may be spared the death penalty, but he will not escape punishment. The deep-seated hatred between them is not so easy to resolve.
Even if we spare their lives, we should make them bleed profusely.
While pondering this, Zhao Gongming also bowed and said:
"Since Your Majesty insists on protecting Lu Ya, out of respect for Your Majesty, this disciple will not refuse!"
However, this matter is a matter of cause and effect between the disciple and Lu Ya, so why should Your Highness bring out all the treasures for proving the Dao!
Logically speaking, even if someone were to offer a treasure as an apology, it should be Lu Ya who does it!
Zhao Gongming was certainly not the type to be ignorant of when to advance or retreat.
Holding the treasures of a sage is like holding a hot potato; if one were to actually choose the Mountain and River Map, the Red Embroidered Ball, or even the Qiankun Cauldron, it would be extremely difficult.
Even if Nuwa didn't say anything, her impression of him would probably remain that he was unforgiving when he was in the right.
Seeing that Zhao Gongming had relented and even wanted the treasure he had already obtained, Nuwa raised an eyebrow, and her goodwill towards him indeed increased.
His merits are astonishing, and he knows when to advance and retreat. Senior Brother Tongtian has indeed taken in a good disciple.
"It's because my Nuwa Palace is not strict enough. If you are lucky enough to pick those treasures, I won't say anything!"
However, if you insist on not taking the treasure, I will owe you a favor and will help you when you are in danger!
how?"
When Goddess Nuwa spoke, Zhao Gongming was overjoyed, for this was a favor from a sage of the Heavenly Dao.
In terms of value, it is far more precious than any top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Among the Six Sages of Heaven, Nuwa was the first to attain sainthood, although she never made a move.
But in terms of strength, they are definitely not weak. With their promise, they have gained another protective talisman in this dangerous calamity.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although the treasure is wonderful, I can tell which is more important than the Empress's favor.
However, this disciple has two more conditions!
Zhao Gongming readily agreed, thinking that sparing Lu Ya in exchange for a chance for the Sage to lend a helping hand was a huge win.
"Speak freely!" Goddess Nuwa said, putting away the treasure.
"First, Lu Ya must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that he will never again use such insidious techniques as the Seven Arrows of Nailhead! Furthermore, he will never again entangle himself with any members of the Jie Sect!"
"Very well, I agree to this on his behalf. Lu Ya, do you understand?"
Seeing that Goddess Nuwa had agreed, Lu Ya dared not disobey and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Lu Ya will remember this."
"Secondly, this time, although I settled my karmic debt with Lu Ya, I have caused Your Majesty to owe me a favor."
If Lu Ya doesn't pay the price for this trip, how can he learn his lesson and mend his ways?
Zhao Gongming's righteous indignation caught the attention of the Goddess Nuwa, who glanced at him and realized that he was probably after some treasure on Lu Ya's person.
However, what he said wasn't wrong either.
If we simply downplay it and let it pass without any real impact, today's events will likely be repeated.
Thinking of this, she glared at Lu Ya and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
