Chapter 220 Huanglong's Defeat
Following the updates has never been so enjoyable.
"Since you are unwilling to become my mount, I will have no choice but to resort to some less-than-honorable means."
In the primordial world, there are only two ways to make cultivators serve as mounts:
First, the other party willingly and voluntarily submits and enters into a contract.
Secondly, by relying on his superior cultivation, he forcibly planted a restriction, forcing it to obey his commands and never disobey, making it his mount for eternity.
Just like in the Battle of Ten Thousand Immortals, Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Jin Guang Xian were eventually subdued by Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and others and became their mounts.
All of this was because the Primordial Lord used his supreme power to transform these three immortals into beasts, suppress their intelligence, and reduce them to mere beasts of burden.
Qiu Shou Xian's cultivation is only one step away from breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so he is confident that he can use his absolute strength to subdue Huang Long Zhenren and make him submit.
However, Huanglong Zhenren was extremely stubborn and unyielding.
Seeing that Qiu Shou Xian was about to use force, he immediately glared angrily, and golden light surged from his body.
He mobilized all his primordial power, intending to self-destruct his primordial spirit and perish together with Qiu Shou Xian, burning everything to ashes.
"You're crazy!"
Qiu Shou Xian was shocked and furious, and blurted out a shout.
Just then, a loud shout came from the horizon, shaking the surrounding area:
"Junior Brother Huanglong, wait a moment! Senior Brother is here!"
Before Guang Chengzi's voice had even finished, a massive seal, carrying the force of wind and thunder, crashed down on Qiu Shou Xian with immense pressure, its power terrifying beyond measure.
When Huanglong Zhenren saw Guangchengzi rushing to his rescue, his mind relaxed abruptly, and the primordial power he had been gathering also slowed down slightly. The golden light around his body gradually faded, but his face remained pale.
Caught off guard, Qiu Shouxian was struck squarely in the chest by the Heaven-Turning Seal, and his body flew backward.
Fortunately, he had already pushed his protective divine light to its limit, thus avoiding serious injury.
"Qiu Shou Xian, do you think my Jade Void Palace has no one to rely on? How dare you presume to use the Twelve Golden Immortals as your mounts? You truly have no regard for your own life!"
Guang Chengzi arrived on a cloud, his robes fluttering, his gaze sharp as lightning as he stared directly at Qiu Shou Xian, his body surrounded by an aura of immortality.
The wiping-headed immortal steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered:
"So it's you, Guang Chengzi. You are the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, but you are only at the mid-stage of the Taiyi realm. What makes you so confident that you can rescue Huanglong from my grasp?"
After saying that, he once again summoned the Tai Chi talisman.
Qiu Shou Xian poured all his magical power into it, and the talisman immediately emitted yin and yang energies.
This time, he intends to kill Guang Chengzi and Huanglong Zhenren together, in order to intimidate all living beings in the prehistoric world.
This not only demonstrated the authority of the Jie Sect, but also elevated his own status within the sect, earning him the favor of his master.
Guang Chengzi knew something was wrong; the power of this talisman was extraordinary. He immediately activated the Heaven-Turning Seal to strike again in mid-air, while he and Huanglong Zhenren retreated rapidly, transforming into two streaks of light and fleeing towards Xiqi City.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
With a roar, Qiu Shou Xian unleashed the Tai Chi talisman before he could fully gather his magical power.
A pale, cold light tore through the sky, freezing the void and frosting everything in its path. It chased after the two figures, covering a thousand miles in an instant, and the world lost its color.
Fortunately, Guang Chengzi and Huanglong Zhenren were extremely fast, and their terrifying attack ultimately missed, crashing heavily into the Taiji formation in the distance.
Seeing that he had returned empty-handed, Qiu Shou Xian snorted coldly, turned around with a flick of his sleeve, and went straight back to his camp, leaving only a ground of frost that shimmered coldly in the sunlight.
Ji Chang witnessed the two immortals retreat in defeat and couldn't help but sigh. His brows furrowed with worry, and his wrinkles deepened. He knew that Xiqi was likely doomed this time.
The Taoist priest Ran Deng, however, seemed oblivious to everything, remaining seated in his original position, holding a teacup and slowly sipping his tea.
This contrasts sharply with the approaching figures of Manjushri and Yuding.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with Senior Brother Huanglong?"
Jiang Ziya rushed forward and helped the pale-faced Huanglong Zhenren, whose mouth was bleeding and whose breath was weak.
Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice, his tone urgent:
"Wenshu, Yuding, you two quickly take Junior Brother Huanglong to the meditation room to heal his injuries."
Manjushri and Yu Ding agreed, helped Huanglong across, and vanished from their spot in an instant, heading to a quiet room inside the city.
"Junior Brother Ziya, go and appease the people in the city."
The sandalwood box outside the palace gate was a gift from the teacher. It contains a secret that can generate its own food, inexhaustible in supply.
If the city runs out of food supplies, use this treasure to relieve the people; under no circumstances should unrest occur. If the people's hearts are not at peace, the city will surely be in danger; the overall situation must be prioritized.
Jiang Ziya bowed respectfully and said:
"Disciple thanks the teacher for his kindness and expresses gratitude to the eldest brother."
After saying that, he hurriedly went out, his steps quick and his face showing worry.
With the grain reserves of Xiqi running out, the people are in a state of panic, and rumors are spreading. If the people's hearts are not stabilized, a major upheaval may occur, with internal strife arising and becoming uncontrollable.
Guang Chengzi then turned to Ji Chang, nodded slightly, and then looked coldly at Randeng, his eyes flashing with anger.
He had seen Ran Deng's reaction from the very beginning, and coupled with his disdain for Ran Deng, this only fueled his anger.
"Vice Leader Ran Deng, now that our Chan Sect has been disgraced, shouldn't you do your part? Hiding here in this Marquis's residence only makes us a laughingstock?"
Upon hearing Guang Chengzi's words, Ran Deng was also somewhat angry. He put down his teacup, stood up, and said to Guang Chengzi:
"Guang Chengzi, you know that I am the vice leader. If I were to take action, wouldn't that be bullying the weak? This would bring shame to my Chan Sect."
I've told you all to diligently cultivate yourselves in your daily lives, but what have you done?
"Bullying the weak? Randeng, do you still have any face left?"
As fellow guests of Zixiao Palace, you are still only Great Luo Golden Immortals, truly shameless.
"If you do not act today, I will immediately report this matter to my master!"
Upon hearing this undisguised insult, Ran Deng clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, clearly enraged.
Guang Chengzi's words just now hit him where it hurt.
Although he held the position of vice leader of the Chan Sect, none of his direct disciples ever truly took him seriously.
Let alone ordering them around, they might not even bow to him when they meet in person.
Even if this matter were brought before the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, the master would never show favoritism towards him; on the contrary, he would most likely punish him.
Now that things have come to this, he has no way out. Whether he makes a move or not is no longer up to him.
However, Ran Deng was not entirely without confidence; the wiry-headed immortal outside the formation was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Having already reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and with two spiritual treasures protecting him, capturing his opponent would be a piece of cake.
"Since you are all incompetent and unable to restore the dignity of the Chan Sect, I will take action myself."
"The Vice Master had better be able to capture Qiu Shou Xian, otherwise, don't blame me for reporting today's events to my master truthfully."
With a cold snort, Ran Deng flicked his sleeves and his figure transformed into light, flying out of the Tai Chi formation.
In a short while, he appeared before the Yin Shang army camp and sternly shouted into the camp:
"You wiry-headed immortal, get out here!"
Just now, Qiu Shou Xian suddenly had an epiphany and immediately summoned Lü Yue to help him protect the Dharma so that he could break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in peace.
Just after he broke through, the Burning Lamp happened to come here to challenge him.
