Chapter 259 Long-eared Man Appears, Taibai Reprimands Zhao Gongming
When Zhao Gongming saw Chang Er Dingguang Xian and the four or five thousand disciples of the Jie Sect behind him, he was immediately overjoyed, and the gloom that had been hanging over his brows seemed to dissipate somewhat.
Not only him, but even the usually composed Wen Zhong felt a surge of unexpected joy and a touch of flattery upon witnessing this scene.
The battle clouds swirling before Mianchi Pass seemed to be infused with a powerful force by the arrival of this reinforcement army.
Wen Zhong pondered to himself that he and this long-eared uncle did not have a close relationship and rarely interacted within the sect.
At this critical juncture in the conflict between the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the opposing side was able to gather so many of their fellow disciples to lend their support.
Whether out of camaraderie among fellow disciples or dissatisfaction with the actions of the Chan Sect, this sentiment is quite profound.
He dared not delay, quickly composed himself, and a sincere expression of gratitude appeared on his face as he strode forward to greet her.
"Uncle-Master Chang'er! What merit or ability do I possess to deserve such assistance from you, Uncle-Master, who has personally led so many fellow disciples to come and help me! I am deeply grateful for this kindness!"
After saying this, he solemnly took a step back, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to the disciples of the Jie Sect behind Chang'er.
"I, Wen Zhong, would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my fellow disciples for their righteous assistance! The crisis at Mianchi and the peril of the Shang Dynasty are entirely due to you all!"
Chang Er Ding Guangxian reacted very quickly, his face beaming with a warm smile.
He quickly stepped forward, gently patted Wen Zhong's arm, and said repeatedly:
"Grand Tutor, you flatter me! We come from the same school and should support each other."
Furthermore, the people of the Chan Sect have indeed gone too far lately, repeatedly oppressing and treating our Jie Sect as nothing.
This is precisely to let them know that our Jie Sect is not without its flaws, and that they too need to know some respect!
His words were crisp and clear. He glanced at the crowd behind him and saw that they seemed to agree. He then turned around and looked at Mianchi Pass in front of him. His intention was clear: he wanted to go to the pass immediately to set up the famous Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
However, at that moment, Zhao Gongming also stood up from Wen Zhong's side.
He was deeply troubled by the defeat in the previous battle and the loss of the Dinghai Pearl.
Seeing the reinforcements' strength and the formation nearing completion, his desire for revenge and treasure instantly intensified, and he was about to step towards the long-eared creature.
"Brother!"
Yunxiao stood up and walked forward, a worried look on his face.
"Don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten what you promised us?"
Before she could finish speaking, Bixiao beside her couldn't contain herself any longer.
She was always more impatient, and seeing Zhao Gongming's actions and hearing what Chang'er said, a surge of pride welled up within her, and she followed Zhao Gongming's lead, saying:
"Elder sister, don't worry too much! With the Myriad Immortals Formation this time, we'll definitely teach Lu Ya a lesson and take back the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Primordial Golden Bucket!"
Seeing that Bixiao had followed, Zhao Gongming felt reassured and turned to Yunxiao to comfort her:
"Sister Yunxiao, please don't worry. Bixiao will come with me, so we can look after each other."
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is incredibly powerful. Even if it encounters Lu Ya again, it will be able to defend itself and will certainly not repeat the same mistake.
To prevent Yunxiao from obstructing him again, he subtly channeled his magic power as he spoke, making a barely perceptible slash in the air with his finger, and an invisible, thin barrier quietly separated him from Yunxiao and Qiongxiao.
This barrier has no offensive capabilities; it is only meant to temporarily hinder their movement.
Wen Zhong had no interest in the siblings' argument at the moment.
He was well aware of the status of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation among the Jie Sect's formations, its power being second only to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation personally controlled by the sect's leader.
If the Tongtian Sect Leader were to personally oversee it, its power could even surpass that of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Although there is no sage in charge at present, the fact that the Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang has gathered thousands of disciples to set up this formation is enough to intimidate the immortals of the Chan Sect and turn the tide of the battle.
Thinking of this, he was greatly encouraged and immediately turned around, preparing to return to the Mianchi camp to mobilize troops.
Once the great formation unleashes its power and defeats the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, they will seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and annihilate the Xiqi army in one fell swoop.
However, just as Zhao Gongming and Bixiao thought they had persuaded Yunxiao and were about to speed up their pace to catch up with Chang'er Dingguangxian, the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred and rippled.
The two felt a sudden shift in their stance, and then a blur of light and shadow appeared before their eyes. When they looked closely, they found themselves back where they started, still standing in front of Yunxiao and Qiongxiao. The tiny barrier that had just been erected seemed to have never existed.
The two were stunned and confused.
With Yunxiao's cultivation level, it was absolutely impossible for him to break through the barrier and move them back so easily.
"You two, how dare you!"
A voice slowly rose, seemingly silencing even the wind in front of the pass.
Upon hearing this voice, both Zhao Gongming and Bixiao stiffened slightly, a chill rising from their spines.
They turned around very slowly, looking in the direction of the sound.
A Taoist priest suddenly appeared not far away, his expression serene, his aura harmonious and peaceful, completely out of place in this grim battlefield.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Zhao Gongming and Bixiao dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately bowed and saluted in unison, their posture extremely respectful.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao immediately relaxed, their tense nerves relaxing and their faces showing expressions of relief.
The two of them had personally witnessed Lu Ya's unpredictable methods, which were by no means something that could be trapped and killed by an ordinary formation. Even the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation would be difficult to guarantee safety without a clever strategy or the suppression of a saint-level magic power.
They knew even better that the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation could not unleash its full power without the Tongtian Sect Master's supervision.
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
The newcomer's gaze swept over Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, and he nodded slightly, his tone softening somewhat:
"You two are good; you didn't follow those two scoundrels into doing those impulsive things."
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word. Then they looked at Zhao Gongming and Bixiao, who seemed a little flustered, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.
The eldest brother's gaze returned to Zhao Gongming and Bixiao, and his peaceful eyes now made the two of them feel immense pressure.
"Zhao Gongming, did I repeatedly instruct you to remain steadfast at Mount Emei, silently recite the Yellow Court Classic, keep your grotto sealed, and refrain from worldly affairs? Where do you place my words?"
"Senior Brother, I..."
Zhao Gongming opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found it difficult to utter a word in front of the other party.
"And you, Bixiao. Instead of quietly cultivating and comprehending the Dao on the Three Immortal Islands, you're joining in this nonsense. Do you think the tribulations aren't dangerous enough?"
Bixiao lowered her head, not daring to respond.
"That's enough. You two, return to Three Immortals Island immediately and go into seclusion for cultivation."
Before the dust settles from the cataclysmic calamity, if anyone dares to step out of the Three Immortal Islands again…
He paused slightly, and although he did not specify the consequences, the implication in his calm tone made Zhao Gongming and Bixiao tremble at the same time.
"I will obey my senior brother's decree and return to Three Immortal Islands to devote myself to cultivation, never to leave again!"
Zhao Gongming and Bixiao quickly bowed and agreed.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them took off in a burst of light, transforming into two streaks of light.
However, before the two could fly far, Taibai waved his long sleeves and sent the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming back to the Three Immortals Island.
