Chapter 104 Taibai Palace Boxing Match
Just then, Taibai's figure appeared silently in front of the cloud bed.
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
His Highness greeted the guests in a haphazard manner.
No need for formalities.
Taibai sat down on the cloud bed, his gaze sweeping over the various expressions on the faces below. A hint of impatience flashed across his brows, and he simply cut to the chase:
"The great war between the Lich and Demon races has plunged the primordial world into chaos, causing immense suffering and death. As disciples of a sage, we have a duty to protect all living beings. What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur arose again in the Taiqing Palace.
Most of the disciples' faces showed their disapproval; they exchanged glances, but no one took the lead in responding.
Only Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect stepped forward and bowed respectfully:
"What my senior brother says is absolutely right. It is our duty to help those in distress and in need."
"When the master left, he said, 'Do not descend the mountain without a reason!'" The Antarctic Immortal immediately stepped forward, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.
"You members of the Jie Sect truly disregard etiquette; do you even intend to defy the teachings of your teachers?"
"Exactly! Those beasts with fur and horns only know how to spout nonsense here, making themselves a laughingstock!"
"What did you say? You're asking for it!"
A disagreement erupted, and chaos ensued within the hall.
The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects glared at each other and shouted insults, reigniting the tension that had just subsided, even more intensely than before.
On the cloud bed, Taibai sighed silently, his face showing helplessness.
The animosity between these two religions has indeed deepened to this extent.
Just as tensions were rising, someone shoved someone first.
In an instant, the sound of fists and feet cutting through the air suddenly arose.
Although there was no fluctuation of power, the disciples of the two sects had already abandoned the dignity of being disciples of a saint and directly threw punches at each other, wrestling together.
Figures crisscrossed, shouts and muffled thuds mingled, and the scene was chaotic.
Little Black, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and quickly sent a telepathic message to Taibai:
"Sir, aren't you going to do anything about this?"
"It's alright, let them be."
He had long anticipated that this gathering would inevitably cause trouble. If he allowed them to use their magical powers in his Taiqing Palace, he feared the palace would be in grave danger.
Therefore, long before everyone arrived, he had secretly set up several layers of restrictions, so that no one could activate even a fraction of their cultivation without his permission.
Although the fight was lively, it was nothing more than a mundane brawl involving fists and feet.
Taibai's eyes flickered slightly, and he quietly took out a recording stone from his sleeve.
He flicked his finger, and the pebble fell silently toward the edge of the battle.
Xuan Du, who had been observing coldly, caught sight of the stone, his eyes twitched, and he immediately took several steps back without making a sound.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the sounds of tearing, punching, cursing and shouting continued. Several people had their clothes torn and their hair disheveled, looking quite disheveled.
Seeing that the time was right, Taibai raised his hand and the memory stone flew back into his palm.
He gathered a wisp of light at his fingertips and gently touched it into the stone.
The pebble trembled slightly, then projected a clear light screen that hung directly in front of the main hall.
On the light screen were the various scenes of the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects fighting and hurling insults at each other.
Seeing the image of their ugly fight reflected on the photo stone, the disciples of the two sects were even more enraged, and a surge of evil fire rushed to their heads.
"What does Senior Brother mean by this?" Qiu Shou Xian stepped forward first, looking up at the cloud bed, his voice filled with resentment.
"Are you suggesting we report this to the teacher and ask them to punish us?"
The veiled meaning in the words was clearly a sarcastic jab at Li Bai for only knowing how to complain behind people's backs.
Taibai already harbored resentment towards Qiushou Xian, and now that he dared to contradict him in public, his gaze suddenly turned cold.
Without saying much, he pressed his right hand down in mid-air.
"Bang!"
A tremendous force pressed down, catching Qiu Shou Xian off guard, and he was slammed to the ground.
Immediately afterward, Taibai flicked his sleeve, and Qiushou Xian was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a jade pillar in the hall. He spat out blood and collapsed, unable to get up.
"You ignorant fool. If you wish to die, speak up. I won't mind sending you on your way."
A chilling aura swept across the entire area, sending a shiver down everyone's spine. They all fell silent, heads bowed low.
"Or should I send this item into the primordial world so that all living beings can see how the disciples of the three religions behave on a daily basis?"
The hall was deathly silent, with only the sound of suppressed breathing.
The disciples lowered their heads even further, none daring to respond.
"Speak! Have you all swallowed the teachings of your teacher along with your blood and gore?"
"The essence of our teachings lies in elucidating the Way of Heaven. Heaven cherishes life and protects all living beings; is this not precisely what you should be doing?"
"The doctrine of the Intercepting Sect is to secure a glimmer of hope for all living beings. Now that the world is ravaged by war, isn't it only right that you step in to help?"
"Moreover, if this journey protects all living beings and evokes a response from Heaven, bestowing merit upon you, wouldn't that greatly benefit your spiritual practice?"
Li Bai's words are half true and half false.
He encouraged everyone to go down the mountain, but in reality, it was to protect Mount Buzhou.
Previously, secretly assisting the witch clan did not incur much divine punishment.
This time, he wanted to test whether Heaven would bestow merit or punishment if he led disciples from the three religions to jointly protect Buzhou Mountain.
By bringing in so many people, firstly, the momentum would be stronger and the chances of success greater; secondly, if Gonggong were to actually crash into Buzhou Mountain, the combined efforts of everyone would increase the chances of victory.
He did not mention the doctrines of the People's Education Press.
In his eyes, Xuan Du was indifferent to worldly affairs and would not object.
As expected, when Taibai brought up the fundamental doctrines of the two religions, the disciples of the prince gradually showed signs of shame.
Upon hearing the word "merit," many people's eyes began to waver, and they quietly looked up at the cloud bed.
Knowing that the time was right, Taibai said no more, flicked his sleeves, rose, and transformed into a beam of light, heading straight out of the palace gate.
"snort."
Xiao Hei also snorted coldly, twisted its body and transformed into a black dragon, soaring into the sky to follow.
As Taibai had expected, not long after he left the palace gate, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out behind him one after another.
The disciples of the three religions looked at each other for a moment, then set up their escape lights and followed one after another.
Taibai didn't look back, but led the way, taking the large group straight towards Buzhou Mountain.
At this moment, chaos reigns, and the battle is about to end.
The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, the Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Array, and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Array have all been shattered.
The remaining top experts of the Lich and Demon races are still engaged in a final life-or-death struggle.
Of the ten Demon Saints of the Demon Court, three have now perished, all by rushing towards the Ancestral Witch and self-destructing their primordial spirits, dragging their opponents down with them.
In the shadows, Nuwa tried to save her brother Fuxi, but was blocked by streams of chaotic energy. In the end, she only managed to retrieve a wisp of Fuxi's damaged primordial spirit, and she couldn't help but weep.
Seeing that the demon race's fate was sealed, Di Jun let out a long roar to the sky.
With a single palm strike, he pushed aside the few remaining demon generals beside him, then his entire body burst into dazzling golden flames as he lunged at the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang.
"Today, though I am dead, I am still the Emperor of the Demon Court!"
Donghuang Taiyi let out a mournful howl, and carrying Donghuang Zhong, along with his life's cultivation and boundless hatred, he also crashed into the group of Ancestral Witches.
"boom!"
Another deafening roar erupted, tearing the surrounding chaotic energy into nothingness with its violent impact.
As the aftershocks subsided, a small, dark yellow bell, not completely destroyed, floated out from the center of the explosion and drifted into the depths of chaos.
The saints, who had been observing indifferently from a great height, suddenly turned their gazes and moved in unison, chasing after the Eastern Emperor Bell.
