Chapter 3096: Chapter 96: Shocking! The Most Passionate Taoist Master in History_4

After a pause, he carefully glanced at his master and continued, ”Didn’t you mention before, that there are very few people nowadays who dare to speak the truth, and we must vigorously and wholeheartedly support them.”

”Then why not expose the Cangping God Emperor, or the Taoist Master Ziyun, why expose me?” Taoist Master Taiyang’s anger was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, ”Go and retrieve all the magazines and burn them! Leave not a single one.”

”Master... this...” The Fire Dragon Saint had a wry smile, ”After the preparation and establishment of the first two issues, the third issue of the magazine was released faster; many magazines were printed and sold locally. This magazine was released half a month ago and is probably already spread across the entire North Shu God Continent by now.”

Taoist Master Taiyang felt darkness before his eyes.

Spread across the North Shu God Continent... Doesn’t this mean that now the entire North Shu God Continent knows about his secrets and is laughing at him?

He could almost imagine the kind of teasing and ridicule he would face when he sees the other Taoist Master-level powerhouses of the North Shu God Continent again.

This is something he would never want to face in his lifetime.

For a moment, he had the urge to destroy the world.

So tired, let it be destroyed~

”Master, please don’t worry.” The Fire Dragon Saint, seeing his master’s expression was off, quickly spoke to comfort him, ”These writings are not only fair and detailed but also fully demonstrate your noble character and deep affection for the Goddess of Source Ice. This is the first time I’ve heard of you risking so much to retrieve her Divine Soul from the Cycle River, having confronted it thrice and suffering severe backlash as a result.”

”Many disciples used to think that you were indulging too much in alchemy, seemingly neglecting your duties, but now they understand your intentions; you wanted to refine the Thirteen Grade Reincarnation Divine Pill to rescue the Divine Soul of the Goddess of Source Ice.”

”Many senior and junior sisters, upon hearing your story, found it incredibly moving! They unanimously believe that compared to you, that Ji Taichang from East Xia is just a scumbag. Nowadays, your reputation in our North Shu God Continent has skyrocketed... this is actually a good thing.”

”Good? What’s good about it?!”

Hearing the disciple’s words, Taoist Master Taiyang’s expression slightly softened, yet he was still gnashing his teeth with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

His privacy being broadcasted so openly, how could he possibly feel good about it?

It was also his own fault for being so engrossed in his sorrow, becoming so negligent and careless, he didn’t even notice when someone got close.

Furthermore, that Wang Baoguang is really something; the events with Source Ice happened over seventy thousand years ago. The Sacred Supreme who personally experienced the events back then has long since passed, and aside from himself, no one else knew about many things. How did he manage to dig them up and with such detail?

With that capability, why can’t he do something else worthwhile instead of exposing my past?!

His face darkened and he angrily said, ”Tell Wang Baoguang to get lost, get out of our North Shu God Continent.”

”Master... Brother Baoguang, I mean, that dog Wang Baoguang is an Envoy from East Xia, and according to convention, forcibly expelling an envoy might cause criticism, impacting our Dao Sect’s reputation,” the Fire Dragon Saint said quietly.

”Right, he’s still an envoy, you reminded me I’d forgotten he was an envoy.” Taoist Master Taiyang sneered incessantly, ”All these years, he’s been eating our food, living under our roof for free, not doing serious business but indulging in those shady activities. I was puzzled why in the first two issues he involved both Taoist Master Taichu and Tranquil Sky Divine King, and it turns out the third issue was waiting to target me.”

Thinking back carefully, that Wang Baoguang first wrote about Taoist Master Taichu and then Ji Taichang, clearly to deliberately lull me into a false sense of security, trap me!

It’s laughable that I actually fell for it!

That kid is too devious, too cunning!

I was too negligent and careless, and accidentally fell into his trap. Truly despicable!

”Master, since you are so opposed to [Truth], I will find a way to shut it down,” the Fire Dragon Saint said through gritted teeth.

”Shut it down? At this point, Taoist Master Taiyang had instead calmed down,” You already said, by utilizing three issues of the Truth magazine, he has already spread the printing and sales channels throughout the entire North Shu God Continent and has cultivated countless followers. With such immense collusion of interests, it’s not something you can easily shut down just because you want to.”

”Moreover, why would I shut it down? I’ve already been exposed; what meaning would there be in doing so now? We shouldn’t just refrain from shutting it down; we must also support the [Truth] magazine.”

”Your master, I, do not wish to become the only Taoist Master in the North Shu God Continent whose private life has been exposed. Do you understand this principle?”

”Disciple understands, Master means that since you are already ’wet’, you must drag the other three in to be ’wet’ too, to make it less...”

”Bang!”

The truth the Fire Dragon Saint was about to speak got abruptly interrupted as Taoist Master Taiyang sent him flying out of the hall with a punch, disappearing into the horizon.
