Chapter 186 The Three Qing Dynasty's Protective Parents
As soon as Taibai uttered these words, it was as if an invisible cold current swept across the land, causing all living beings who heard them to freeze in place, their breaths catching in their throats.
In the minds of all beings, the sage is supreme and above all things; anyone who offends him in the slightest will suffer the calamity of being destroyed in both body and spirit.
What Taibai just said was not just ordinary disrespect; it was tantamount to trampling on the dignity of the sage and rubbing salt into the wounds of the sage Zhunti.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti suddenly raised one palm, his holy might as well as a prison, causing the surrounding space to hiss and crackle.
"Do you know what you're saying? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Faced with the sage's wrath, Taibai remained unmoved. With a thought, the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram appeared, hovering in front of him, spreading out layers of Daoist light.
"Ha, do you think you can bridge the gap between the sacred and the mortal realms with just these two creation treasures?"
Zhunti scoffed disdainfully, and with a flick of his sleeve, he attempted to snatch the two treasures directly.
"Once I've taken them, I'll have your two teachers come and demand them back themselves!"
However, the moment his holy power touched the treasure, the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram trembled violently at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the illusory image of Taiqing stepped out from the banner and the picture, their Daoist aura naturally imbued, their power overwhelming the universe.
The moment the phantom appeared, the overwhelming holy might that enveloped Taibai vanished instantly.
"My two senior brothers..."
Zhunti's expression changed, and he was about to speak.
Yuanshi and Taiqing, however, did not allow him to explain.
The illusory figure of Taiqing raised his hand and pointed, and the Taiji diagram transformed into a golden bridge that pressed down across the sky. The Yin and Yang energies circulated, and Zhunti was frozen in place, unable to move.
At the same time, the primordial phantom activated the Pangu Banner, unleashing a powerful sword aura that tore through the chaos.
boom!
The deafening roar shook the heavens. Zhunti, who had been suppressed by the Taiji Diagram, took the full force of the blow. Immediately, holy blood spurted out, and his right arm was severed at the root, injuring his Dao body.
If the two sages hadn't deliberately restrained their remaining power, even Lu Ya beside him would have been annihilated by this sword strike.
Why did the two senior brothers treat their junior brother so cruelly?
"You attacked our disciples first. For a saint to bully juniors is going too far."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable didn't even glance at him, his expression arrogant, as if looking at this Western saint would be an insult to his eyes.
"It is my senior brother's disciple who has gone too far and wants to exterminate the demon race!"
"Junior brother was merely showing pity for the demon race and stepped in to protect them. Besides, Taibai openly insulted a saint; shouldn't he be punished?"
"Clap clap clap!"
Before he could finish speaking, the illusory figure of the Primordial Beginning slapped him across the face several times from a distance, the blows crisp and loud.
"You dare to punish my disciple? Zhunti, remember this well."
If I were to find out again that you dared to harm my disciple… my brother and I would not hesitate to personally travel to Mount Sumeru and discuss the Dao with you.”
"My second brother's intention is the same as my intention. I also want to say that whatever my disciple seeks, he will surely obtain."
This conversation plunged the demon race below, whose hopes had just begun to rise, back into an icy abyss.
The two saints did not come for them; on the contrary, they stood on the opposite side.
Zhunti was so angry that he trembled all over, but in the end he dared not argue any further.
If we fight, we can't win; if we talk, we're not in the right.
His last bit of stubbornness was reduced to silence and turning his face away.
Yuanshi and Taiqing, having finished their exchange, gradually faded their illusory forms and vanished into the world.
The Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram then transformed into streams of light and disappeared back into Taibai's brow.
With his teacher's support, Taibai appeared more composed.
He rose into the air again, this time without even glancing at Zhunti.
I am a monkey, and my new work is here! Get the latest update first across the entire internet!
Now that we've broken ties with Zhunti, there's no need to put on a show anymore.
"Lu Ya, hand over the Seven Arrows of Nailhead Book."
Lu Ya was shocked and subconsciously looked at the Sage Zhunti, but the latter's face was ashen, his eyes closed and he remained silent, showing no reaction.
It was during this moment of hesitation that a cold glint flashed in Taibai's eyes. With a flick of his fingers, the long sword hanging high in the sky suddenly changed direction and shot out of the Five Elements Formation.
Where the sword light passed, thousands of demon cultivators were reduced to ashes before they could even scream, their bodies and souls annihilated.
"Taibai, what exactly are you trying to do?!"
"As I have said, I will slay one demon every breath."
The time lost earlier will be made up now. As for killing a few more, it doesn't matter.
Before the words were finished, the thousands of flying swords suspended in mid-air rang out again, pouring down on the terrified demon clan below.
In an instant, screams and cries tore through the sky once more, and blood splattered everywhere.
Lu Ya's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Zhunti again, his eyes filled with pleading.
Zhunti's face twitched, and finally he sighed deeply, speaking up to mediate:
"Nephew, that's enough. I will accept on behalf of Lu Ya. The Seven Arrows of Nailhead will be yours."
Stop the slaughter! Aren't you afraid of being burdened with karmic debt and having your path blocked by such killing?
Taibai's men did not stop for a moment; amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, swarms of demon cultivators were reduced to dust.
"Bring the magic treasure here, then we can discuss other matters. Karma? I have my own merits to atone for it, no need for you to trouble yourself, Uncle."
Taibai's killing intent had reached its peak. From the moment the demon race intervened in the war between humans to today's repeated pressure, his pent-up anger was finally released.
At this moment, he felt no pity. Regardless of whether these demon cultivators were burdened with sins, none of them would survive his sword.
"Stop! I'll give it to you!"
Lu Ya finally broke down, roaring as he stopped the massacre.
He turned away sadly, facing the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, raised his hand and gestured, and a book, a bow, and several arrows floated towards Taibai.
"Fellow Daoist Taibai, this is the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. Please accept it, and please stop. My demon race cannot withstand this."
"Your Highness! You mustn't!"
"This is a relic of the wicked empress; Your Highness, please reconsider!"
"We would rather die than hand over the sacred relic!"
A cry of grief and indignation erupted from the demon race, but Taibai ignored it.
He reached out and grabbed the book, which flew into his hand.
After scanning it with his divine sense and confirming that the magical treasure was genuine and had no means of concealment, he put it away.
"I am satisfied that you are willing to hand it over, but your subordinates are too noisy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the countless flying swords changed direction again and crashed down towards the demon clan that had just spoken up to dissuade them.
"Taibai, you are a man of your word; how can you be worthy of being a disciple of a sage!"
"Why are you so angry, fellow Daoist? This is just a lesson learned."
"Furthermore, Bai Ze, you don't need to ask for it anymore. He can just stay in my Devouring Heaven Treasure Bottle."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, retrieved the Five Innate Banners, and turned to leave.
He hadn't flown far when he seemed to suddenly remember something, paused, and turned to look at Zhunti, whose face was ashen.
"By the way, Uncle-Master Zhunti. This great calamity is an Eastern affair and has nothing to do with the Western religion."
"Uncle-Master, it's best if you don't get involved. Otherwise, you might end up losing more than you gain, which would only worsen the situation for the Western Sect."
Upon hearing this, Zhunti's eyes widened suddenly, and the saintly demeanor he had been barely maintaining finally cracked, his face filled with uncontrollable rage.
At this moment, the name of Taibai was deeply etched into his kill list.
