Chapter 231 The mount dies, Shen Gongbao goes to Jin'ao Island again.
As time went by, the Winged Fairy finally couldn't hold on any longer.
He struggled to straighten his kneeling body, then slammed his forehead heavily against the ground with a dull thud.
Ran Deng looked down at the winged immortal bowing repeatedly at his feet, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and slowly spoke:
"Now, are you willing to become my disciple?"
"Your disciple...I am willing! I wish to become your disciple, senior, and from this day forward, I will obey your every command. I humbly request that you accept me!"
Yu Yixian's voice trembled, filled with fear and pleading.
"Alright. In that case, from now on, you will..."
Before Ran Deng could utter the words "accept," Yu Ding, expressionless, suddenly swung his long sword.
A sword aura pierced through the air, precisely slicing through the Winged Immortal's neck.
In an instant, blood splattered, and the figure who had just been kowtowing and begging for mercy was now decapitated and lifeless.
A wisp of true spirit drifted out from the corpse and flew towards the Investiture of the Gods held by Jiang Ziya in the distance.
"How dare you!"
Upon seeing this, Ran Deng was filled with shock and anger, and shouted angrily.
He hurriedly used his magic to try and stop the drifting spirit.
However, no matter how he activated his supernatural powers, Yu Yixian's true spirit remained unaffected and went straight into the list.
"Yu Ding! What are you doing?!"
Ran Deng suddenly turned his head, staring intently at the jade cauldron, his voice filled with suppressed rage.
"This fiend has committed countless heinous crimes, too numerous to recount. Even if he were not included in the Investiture of the Gods, he should still have met a tragic end, his body and soul annihilated. I merely did it as a matter of course, acting on behalf of Heaven."
"Yu Ding! Guang Chengzi clearly promised me to help me subdue this demon!"
Burning Lamp was furious. Finding a mount with good pedigree and cultivation was no easy task. He was about to succeed when he was killed by a sword right before his eyes. His true spirit was listed on the list, and there was no way to make amends.
At this moment, the fact that he could still suppress his urge to attack the jade cauldron was already a testament to his extreme restraint.
However, Yu Ding remained completely unconcerned in the face of Ran Deng's overwhelming rage.
"Senior Brother Guangchengzi promised you, but I never agreed. Vice Master Randeng, are you perhaps getting old and your memory is becoming a little fuzzy?"
"How dare you..."
"Vice Leader! Act swiftly and capture this man!"
Before Ran Deng could finish his angry words, he was interrupted by a shout from afar.
Guang Chengzi was seen chasing after the fleeing Lü Yue, flying swiftly towards their location.
Guang Chengzi's attacks appeared fierce, but in reality, he was quite adept at maneuvering and never actually killed Lü Yue. His intention was to drive Lü Yue here.
What he wanted was for Randeng to personally kill Lü Yue.
Once this is accomplished, he can widely publicize the fact that Randeng harmed the disciples of the Jie Sect.
At that time, the boundless anger and attention of the entire Jie Sect will naturally be focused on this Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, making him the target of everyone's ire.
At this moment, because his mount had been killed, Randeng was burning with pent-up anger that he had nowhere to vent.
Seeing Lü Yue rushing towards him in a panic, he didn't think twice and, in a fit of rage, raised his hand and summoned the coffin lamp.
The eerie ghostly flames poured out from the lamp, instantly engulfing Lü Yue.
Lü Yue was reduced to ashes in the raging Netherfire, and his true spirit also went straight to the Investiture of the Gods.
"Haha! Excellent! As expected of the Vice Leader, you are indeed incredibly powerful, annihilating this heretic with a single strike! That's satisfying!"
Upon seeing this, Guang Chengzi immediately slowed down, laughed loudly, and flew to Randeng's side, even patting him on the shoulder warmly, his face full of approval.
"Hmph! Fellow Daoist, you truly are a man of your word! I failed to obtain my mount, but instead, I've dealt with this Lü Yue for you!"
Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi's face immediately showed just the right amount of surprise and innocence, which then turned into a look of heaviness and displeasure:
"What do you mean by that, Vice Leader? What have I done wrong to provoke such anger in you?"
Having said that, his gaze happened to sweep downwards and land on the corpse of the Winged Immortal. He immediately showed a regretful expression, patted Randeng's arm again, and sighed:
"Alas, things have come to this, Vice Master, please don't be too sad. It's just a mount. When the opportunity arises in the future, I will keep an eye out and find you a better one."
"No need! I will no longer interfere in this matter. I will return to the Yuanjue Cave on Mount Lingjiu to cultivate in seclusion. As for the great calamity and the killing, you may settle your own affairs!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave in a flash of light.
Having been repeatedly outmaneuvered, had his mount killed, and been forced to become entangled in the karma of the Jie Sect, he didn't want to stay in Xiqi for even a moment longer.
"Vice Leader, please reconsider. The Master's decree commands you to come and assist Xiqi, in accordance with Heaven's will and the people's will."
"Now that the great calamity has not yet passed and the matter has not been fully accomplished, you wish to withdraw. Is this not going against the Master's decree?"
"Yu Ding! You...you've gone too far!"
The figure of Ran Deng, who had already flown several feet into the air, suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, his eyes revealing murderous intent, and he already held the Qiankun Ruler in his hand.
Clearly, he was so angry that he could hardly contain himself and wanted to teach Yu Ding a lesson for his repeated provocations.
"Vice Leader, please calm down and don't act impulsively!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Guang Chengzi immediately stepped between the two, smiling broadly, and tried to smooth things over.
"Junior Brother Yu Ding is straightforward and outspoken, Vice Leader, please don't take it personally. However, it's not a good idea for the Vice Leader to leave at this moment."
"Junior Brother Yu Ding is straightforward and outspoken, Vice Leader, please don't take it personally. However, it's not a good idea for the Vice Leader to leave at this moment."
"Both Qiu Shou Xian and Lü Yue just now died at your hands. If the disciples of the Jie Sect find out, they will surely cause you trouble."
"Hahaha, very well! Then this humble Taoist will not leave. Remember what happened today; I will not let this go!"
Although Ran Deng was burning with anger, he also understood that Guang Chengzi's words were not without reason.
If he were to return to Yuanjue Cave on Lingjiu Mountain at this time, and the disciples of the Jie Sect came seeking revenge, he feared he would have nowhere to escape.
Staying here, at least we can still look after each other with the people of the Chan Sect.
Even if they are unwilling to help, one can shift the blame and use the situation to maneuver.
Having made his decision, he no longer hesitated and turned to fly straight back to Xiqi City.
When Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren saw him return, they exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
In the Yin Shang army camp, Shen Gongbao, who had been observing the battle with his divine sense, felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart when he saw Qiu Shou Xian, Lü Yue, and Yu Yi Xian fall one after another.
He immediately found Lu Xiong and said urgently, "Quickly order the entire army to be on alert! Xiqi might take advantage of the situation to attack our camp!"
"Grand Preceptor, what is the reason for this? Even if Qiu Shou Xian has perished, there are still two immortal masters, Lü Yue and Yu Yi Xian. Moreover, our army has always been on high alert, so there should be no need for this..."
"General, the situation has changed, and there's no time to explain! Please quickly prepare the troops for defense, as I have other urgent business to attend to!"
Seeing Shen Gongbao's stern expression, Lu Xiong immediately became alert. Just as he was about to ask again, Shen Gongbao had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
With all the disciples of the Jie Sect now gone, Shen Gongbao dared not delay and had to rush to Jin'ao Island immediately to report the bad news to the Tongtian Sect Leader, hoping to obtain new assistance.
Unexpectedly, not far from the military camp, a jade slip suddenly flew through the air and struck him squarely on the forehead.
Shen Gongbao, flying at full speed, was struck by this attack and immediately staggered, falling from the clouds.
"Who launched a sneak attack!" He pressed his forehead, both shocked and furious, and looked down to see the jade slip lying beside him.
"This jade slip... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"
