Chapter 508 You Are Not Important
“Junior Brother Changgeng, the universe here is sealed. We can’t use the Cosmic Escape technique or break through the void. The Cosmic Array set up by the other party is like a ball. There are no flaws.” “I already know that. However, don’t worry. I already have a way to deal with the surrounding Sea Serpent Qi…”
Whose voice is this?
Changgeng? That name is so familiar.
The silver-haired girl’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She felt the seal around her essence soul and felt an inexplicable anxiety. He spoke again… “Senior Brother Taiyi, Qiong Xiao, I will use the paper effigy to attract the other party’s attention later and investigate the situation in the hall. I’ll give you the two paper effigies. Leave one incarnation here. Although we have the Taiji Painting to conceal it, we can’t be careless. We have to be careful. Remember, our first goal is to take away the red lotus, and our second goal is to destroy it. When I’m sure that the red lotus cannot be used by the Dao Sect, I will crush this jade token. You will retreat in time and pull away. I will use the Great Spirit Explosion to destroy the red lotus and the remnant soul of Patriarch Nether River. I will raze this place to the ground and completely remove the hidden dangers here…” Great Spirit Explosion?
The silver-haired girl’s Dao heart trembled slightly.
At that moment, his essence soul felt a warm Dharma power. His eyes opened a crack… The silver-haired girl saw a familiar back and an unfamiliar side profile. However, the other party’s mysterious Dao runes made her Dao heart jolt! Water God!
The Heavenly Courts’ Water God was a ruthless person who could make the Saints of the Western Sect suffer. Aunt Wen had repeatedly warned her not to provoke him!
She had naturally seen the Water God’s Spirit Explosion.
Today, he was going to use it to raze this place…
“No…”
The silver-haired girl shouted softly.
As her voice sounded, the Dharma powers in her body circulated again. The restrictions around her essence soul disappeared.
A rather handsome ox face moved over from the side and filled the silver-haired girl’s vision. She smiled and said, “You’re awake?”
The silver-haired girl immediately shrank back and nimbly jumped up. Her gaze passed the burly man in front of her and landed on Li Changshou and Fairy Qiong Xiao and Perfected Taiyi. Shock, anger, fear…
The young girl wanted to speak, but her throat trembled slightly. She subconsciously touched her hand and grabbed nothing. “My sword!” “Here, here!” The green ox agreed and took out the Primordial Massacre Sword. He held it with both hands and handed it to the young girl. At the side, Li Changshou, Qiong Xiao, and Perfected Taiyi only looked over and continued discussing. She hurriedly snatched the Primordial Massacre Sword over and discovered the layers of restrictions on the sword. She frowned slightly.
She and the sword had been captured. However, the young girl looked at the green ox with grief and indignation in her eyes. “You’re on the same path!” “This, this pure fragment is a misunderstanding,” the green ox hurriedly said. “When I met you previously, I did not know that I would come here to reinforce you. Look, the top experts of the three sects have been ambushed.”
Following the green ox’s fingertip, the young girl immediately saw… the eight experts of the Dao Sect sleeping soundly beside her! The green ox thought about Senior Brother Changgeng’s explanation and immediately sighed. His bright eyes were filled with sincerity. He slowed down his tone and said in a low voice, “I did not set up a venue for you. We only met by chance in the sea of blood. Although I already know that we will be facing each other in the future, at the very least, I will not aim my fist at you.”
After saying that, the green ox looked down at his palm. His face was filled with regret. He slowly heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to try to reveal a sincere smile. “Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding. However, it’s just… quite uncomfortable.”
The silver-haired girl frowned slightly and looked up at the burly man’s face. For some reason, she felt a little disgusted…
I can’t bear to.
“I…” She did not know what to say. “Can you tell me your name?”
The green ox asked with a hint of despair in his eyes, as if he was about to leave forever.
The silver-haired girl said, “My name is Iron Fan. I’m the Princess of the Asura Clan.”
The green ox cupped his fists and did not ask further. Instead, he bowed and said in a deep voice, “I’ve offended you previously.” The young girl pursed her pale lips and lowered her head to return the bow…
In just a few short sentences, the green ox changed its image in one go. From then on, the entangled wave ox became an affectionate old ox and left a shallow mark in the heart of the iron fan!
Above that, line guidance, action guidance, expression guidance, emotion guidance-Heavenly Courts’ Water God, Li Changgeng! Huh? Li Changshou suddenly snapped out of his daze and carefully thought about the conversation between the green ox and the silver-haired girl. He captured the information inside.
Iron fan? Iron fan… Iron!
Princess Iron Fan, Lady Rakshasa? The Demon Ox’s wife, Red Boy’s mother?
What?!
There must be a mistake. The green ox of the Tushita Palace is a diamond bracelet that played with the horn of the immortal Buddhas!
Why… Li Changshou was speechless. His clear Dao heart played a role and forcefully calmed his emotions. I didn’t expect that there would be so many stories before the calamity of Journey to the West.
However, his future Taibai Jinxing seemed to be in the story…
Thinking about that, Li Changshou smiled.
Let them be.
The young girl’s gaze leaped over the green ox and landed on Li Changshou. There was a hint of fear in her eyes, but it was quickly filled with determination.
“Fellow Daoist, can you please move aside? I need to face a powerful enemy.” “Well…”
The green ox sighed softly and took half a step back. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he just put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. The young girl slowly walked forward and fixed her gaze on Li Changshou. Li Changshou turned around and smiled.
“You want to attack me?”
“Yes.”
Li Changshou was puzzled. “Why?” Qiong Xiao, who was at the side, turned around and tried her best to suppress her laughter. The young girl frowned slightly and said, “You have to stop the ancestor from reviving. I’m the princess of the Asura Clan. I have to stop you.” Li Changshou looked at the green ox and smiled. “Senior Brother, I’ve already spared her life on your account…” “Senior Brother Changgeng.” The green ox looked troubled. “I really don’t know how to persuade her. We are on opposite sides. I can only choose to help her.”
“This matter has nothing to do with him.”
The young girl wanted to draw her sword, but the Primordial Massacre Sword was sealed too much and could not be pulled out. Li Changshou shook his head and turned around. “Forget it. I’ll pretend that I’ve never seen her. Today, Patriarch Nether River will definitely not be able to revive. I said that if I see you in the future, I will definitely not spare your life. For the sake of my senior brother, you can leave.” The young girl could not help but be stunned. She looked up at Li Changshou and then at the green ox beside her. She bit her lips and lowered her head to cup her fists and bow to Li Changshou. Then, she turned to the green ox and said coolly, “I owe you my life.”
After saying that, she carried the Primordial Massacre Sword and walked forward. She walked past Li Changshou and stepped out of the range of the Taiji Painting. The green ox hurriedly chased after him but was stopped by Li Changshou’s raised arm. “Iron Fan!”
The green ox shouted worriedly.
The young girl did not stop. Instead, she walked faster.
However, after walking for less than ten steps, her body swayed and she slowly collapsed to the side. Her breathing was calm and relaxed, and she fell asleep on the spot.
The Sea Serpent Qi entered the dream.
At that moment, Li Changshou stopped the green ox’s arm. He could sense that the green ox was about to explode and hide.
He was really tempted.
Perfected Taiyi shook his head and sighed. “The Water God is really good at lying to little girls.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
She was clearly one of the 72 princesses of the Asura Clan who was too naive!
Qiong Xiao looked at the silver-haired girl’s sleeping appearance and pinched her chin in thought. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Do you have a brilliant plan?” “No, I’m thinking if I look better with my hair like this.”
Qiong Xiao stroked her hair and muttered. “Remember to discuss it with your sister,” Li Changshou replied casually. He looked up at the hall in the distance.
No reaction?
The Primordial Massacre Sword was there. It was equivalent to a divine weapon that had been delivered to the door. It should be very beneficial to Patriarch Netherworld…
After a while, the green ox looked a little worried. He said softly, “Senior Brother Changgeng, I’ll bring her back.”
“Don’t be anxious…”
Whoosh…
Just as Li Changshou, who was under the Taiji Painting, was about to speak, a sanguine glow suddenly flew out of the abandoned hall in the middle of the city. The sanguine glow condensed into a huge hand and picked up the young girl on the ground, pulling her back into the hall. Seeing that, Li Changshou smiled and turned his head slightly. “Follow the plan.”
Qiong Xiao and Perfected Taiyi nodded and slowly flew into the air. Qiong Xiao activated the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors and Perfected Taiyi activated the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier. At that moment, she did not move.
If they wanted to snatch the red lotus, they had to enter the hall.
However, if it was just throwing Dharma treasures at people to do some demolition, there was naturally no need for him to go over personally. Li Changshou found a comfortable position and sat down at the edge of the area enveloped by the Taiji Painting. He sorted out his thoughts. All the changes in the sea of blood had been activated… At the same time, he raised his sword fingers and slowly swiped them across his eyes. His eyes turned azure blue, and a treasure banner that emitted waves of divine light appeared behind him.
Water God Treasure, Soap Martial Flag!
A rich power of the Heavenly Dao wrapped around Li Changshou. A thick paper effigy flew out of Li Changshou’s sleeve. There was a Golden Core inside that rotated and transformed into the old immortal that the Heavenly Courts’ Water God often used. He flicked his horsetail whisk and walked forward.
The paper effigy had only taken five to six steps when Li Changshou’s main body’s left palm emitted lightning, knocking away the sleepiness that was not too strong. Li Changshou said loudly, “Fellow Daoists in the hall, can we have a chat?” As soon as he finished speaking, a black ray of light shot out of the abandoned hall and tore Li Changshou’s paper effigy apart mercilessly. Under the Taiji Painting, Li Changshou only closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. Another paper effigy flew out of his sleeve and walked out of the area enveloped by the Taiji Painting. The second paper effigy used some escape techniques and arrived at the spot where the paper effigy had been torn apart. It continued moving forward. “Fellow Daoists in the hall, can we have a chat?” Black light flashed again, and Li Changshou’s second ordinary paper effigy was instantly killed. Qiong Xiao’s face was filled with anger. She thought of Li Changshou’s repeated warnings and temporarily endured it. The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors turned into 30 feet long. The double blades were activated, and the shadows of two primordial flood dragons slowly swam. A third paper effigy flew out of Li Changshou’s sleeve and arrived at the previous paper effigy. He slowly walked forward.
This time, the black shadow in the hall, who was constantly attacking, held the spear in his hand and clearly hesitated. The black shadow cursed softly, “Is the incarnation of the Water God endless?”
An old voice from the side replied, “The second disciple of the Grand Pure One has his own outstanding qualities.” “Hmph!” The black shadow holding the Spear of Slaughter snorted coldly. The spear in his hand pointed out a black ray of light and tore Li Changshou’s third paper effigy apart again. However, this time, the roars of angry dragons came from below the Taiji Painting! First, golden light shone. Two ancient flood dragons darted out from under the Taiji Painting. Their tails intertwined, and their bodies suddenly turned into a thousand feet long. They smashed straight at the abandoned hall!
The fire dragon roared again. Nine four-clawed azure dragons wrapped in orange-red flames soared into the sky and pounced ferociously behind the two giant flood dragons.
Bang!
In the hall, a black shadow smashed the walking stick in his hand onto the ground. An ice-blue light barrier appeared around the hall and activated the array formation that he had prepared previously.
However, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors was a treasure personally bestowed by the Grandmaster of Heaven. Qiong Xiao was one of the eight disciples of Jie School. At that moment, she was almost attacking with all her might. How could it be so easy to resist? The giant flood dragon roared and slammed into the wall.
The ice-blue light barrier was almost shattered by the huge dragon. It flickered everywhere, and cracks appeared at the bottom… The nine fire dragons attacked one after another, causing the cracks to gradually increase. The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors did not attack continuously. The huge flood dragon turned from corporeal to void and retreated to the bottom of the Taiji Painting. It entrenched itself around Qiong Xiao and increased her power by more than 30%! Perfected Taiyi retracted his nine mystical dragons and stood calmly with his hands behind his back.
It was just a bonus. At that moment, Li Changshou sent out the fourth paper effigy and escaped to the place where the previous paper effigy was. He continued to stride forward and said loudly, “Fellow Daoists in the hall, would you like to have a chat?” The four black shadows in the hall fell silent. They suddenly realized the predicament they were in today. The original Sea Serpent Qi that they had released did not give them much security.
It was very simple… The Dao of Brick was prevalent in the Primordial World. As long as the Dao Sect did not want to snatch the red lotus and wanted to destroy this place, they would not be able to escape when more Daoist experts arrived later.
Among the four black shadows, the old voice said again, “There’s no need to fight the Dao Sect to the death. Besides, the Saints are just watching. They did not attack.”
“Let him come over.”
Behind the four black shadows, a faint voice sounded. “I still need the Blood God to restore my Dharma powers. I’ll delay him a little more. This Water God seems to be able to influence the decisions of the Dao Sect.”
The four black shadows nodded. This time, Li Changshou walked forward.
When he realized that the people in the hall were no longer attacking, Li Changshou rode a cloud forward and rushed into the hall as soon as possible. There were layers of array formations in front of him, and his immortal senses could not detect them. The Taiji Painting was protecting the big shots on his side. To be safe, Li Changshou did not have any options to use the Taiji Painting. With such a huge Primordial force like the Dao Sect backing him, he could naturally choose another method to win. However, he habitually chose the safest and most thorough path.
Putting everything else aside, the silver-haired girl, no, Princess Iron Fan is a living being that Brother Azure Ox fell in love with at first sight. Don’t let anything happen to her. Huh?
Li Changshou was puzzled. Could it be that Teacher wants me to help the old bull and not the red lotus? Sigh, that’s really possible, and the possibility is not low.
Fortunately, the plan that I had designated was also based on that…
At that moment, in the surging sea of blood, another group of ordinary Asuras broke through the violent waves created by the Golden-Winged Roc and rushed towards the pillar of light. It was like flying insects pouncing on fire. Li Changshou carefully sensed through the paper effigies that were left outside. A large number of Asura Clan experts, who had normal minds and eyes that were not completely red, had arrived near the ruins of the city. The experts of the Asura Clan seemed to be capturing the traces of the Golden-Winged Roc, as if they wanted to sweep away all obstacles in the revival of Patriarch Nether River. Li Changshou could only smile. “Stop.”
A cold shout came from the hall. Li Changshou, who had arrived at the door of the hall, did not realize it. The paper effigy rode a cloud and entered the hall before stopping Killing intent. Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and flicked his horsetail whisk, looking at the source of the killing intent. It was a black spear-wielding figure hiding in the corner. He could not see its exact appearance. It was the person who had ambushed the paper effigy and injured the Golden Roc. In the other three corners of the hall, there were three other black shadows. Two of them were in the form of ferocious beasts. One of the black shadows had a strange aura that Li Changshou could not see through. A red lotus bloomed in the deepest part of the hall. After the red lotus, the old Daoist priest that Li Changshou had seen more than ten years ago, the Heavenly Dao, had opened his eyes! The old Daoist priest’s body condensed again, but his aura was a little strong but weak.
His face was square, his eyes were long and narrow, and his grayish-white eyebrows were sharp. Although he was just an illusion, he gave off an indescribable pressure. The ancient mighty figure, Patriarch Nether River, had clearly woken up! Li Changshou was not surprised. What surprised Li Changshou was that the red lotus was beginning to emit a sense of perfection, as if it was about to mature. There was a ball of light under the red lotus. There were only twenty to thirty light orbs. In front of Li Changshou, Patriarch Nether River tapped the ball of light with his finger. A soul flew out and was sent into Patriarch Nether River’s mouth, fusing into his own shadow. He ate it.
Although the enhancement of his soul to Patriarch Nether River was insignificant, Li Changshou’s expression immediately darkened.
Patriarch Nether River smiled coldly. His voice sounded from all directions with a hint of contempt. “The current Water God, are you going to stop me from reviving?” Li Changshou replied, “A remnant soul that was destroyed in the past still wants to defy the heavens and change its fate?” The Patriarch of the Nether River sneered and retreated. His voice became faint and ethereal. “Do you know what will happen to the human race if you lose today?”
Li Changshou did not answer. He shifted his gaze to the edge of the hall. Princess Iron Fan lay there and fell into a dream with the Primordial Massacre Sword.
Patriarch Nether River’s voice sounded again.
“No one can stop me from reviving today. You’re just a disciple of the Dao Sect. How dare you…” “Fellow Daoist, you’re still a remnant soul, right?” Li Changshou suddenly said that, and Patriarch Nether River could not help but pause.
Li Changshou shook his horsetail whisk and smiled calmly.
“If I’m not wrong, your revival today is just to awaken your remnant soul. With the twelfth-grade Red Lotus as your main body, you will enter the Chaos Sea and slowly replenish your soul. The reason why you know about me is because you have read some of my memories from the Asura Clan souls that you have sucked dry. Do you?” Patriarch Nether River said, “So what if I am?” “Nothing.” Li Changshou shrugged. “This is just an incarnation of mine. My main body is hiding under the Taiji Painting. What can you do to me?” “Hmph!”
Patriarch Nether River snorted coldly. The illusory figure opened its left hand. The Primordial Massacre Sword in the iron fan beside it turned into a sanguine glow and flew to Patriarch Nether River’s palm to condense into the shape of a sword again, emitting a series of trembling sounds.
The restrictions on it dissipated layer by layer. The petals of the twelfth-grade lotus flower swayed gently. The sword that had been silent for a long time seemed to have woken up.
At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of wind and thunder outside the city.
Hundreds of Asura Clan experts were attacking Bai Ze and more than ten experts from the Dao Sect outside the city. There were a few extremely old Asuras whose bodies were shining with resplendent light. They attacked the Golden-Winged Roc near the pillar of light, forcing the Golden-Winged Roc to temporarily stop raising the waves of the sea of blood and hide. The experts of the Asura Clan were all out! “Sword… My sword!”
In the shadows at the edge of the broken wall of the hall, the metal fan suddenly woke up. Before it opened its eyes, it subconsciously hugged itself tightly. The sword in its arms had disappeared.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and did not look at the silver-haired girl. He was a little surprised.
She could actually wake up on her own… He could save a few Shadow-Retaining Balls. Princess Iron Fan tried her best to open her eyes. When she saw the Primordial Massacre Sword behind the red lotus and saw who was holding the Primordial Massacre Sword, she could not help but kneel on the ground excitedly and kowtow deeply. “Patriarch… Patriarch, you’re back!”
Patriarch Nether River smiled faintly and looked at the silver-haired girl. Then, he looked at Li Changshou and continued, “Today, the Dao Sect is actually so arrogant and conceited. They knew that it was my revival, but they only sent more than ten experts. At this moment, you have already missed the opportunity to stop me. The disciples of the Dao Sect are really getting worse with each generation.” “Fellow Daoist Nether River, the more you say, the more guilty you seem. As an ancient mighty figure, you should at least have some pride. Why?” Li Changshou looked at the four corners and smiled.
“I actually came to see these four Fellow Daoists. I didn’t expect you to have already woken up. Fellow Daoists, this red lotus is very useful to the Dao Sect. Please retreat on our account. The Dao Sect will definitely not pursue you.”
They were exchanging words and playing mind games! The four black shadows in the corner did not move or respond at all. Li Changshou asked curiously, “Do you all think that you can escape from the hands of the Saint?”
The Patriarch of the Nether River slowly closed his eyes and said coldly, “If the Saint comes, I will ask them why they are making things difficult for me!”
At that moment, the hall trembled slightly. A little light appeared above, and it was as if the stardust had scattered and merged into the remnant soul of Patriarch Nether River.
The image of Patriarch Nether River became more solid at a visible speed.
The silver-haired girl, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly. She looked up and her pupils constricted. She saw that on the damaged roof of the hall, around the blood-colored pillar of light that pierced through the sea of blood, countless clansmen collided with the blood pillar and instantly dissipated. Only a little ashes fell and turned into starlight… Li Changshou looked over and no longer had any doubts. He said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Nether River, can I ask you something? What do you treat the Asura Clan as?”
“The Asura Clan is created by me.” Patriarch Nether River sneered and said, “Are you here to lecture me?”
“The Asura Clan is one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “Perhaps the first batch of Asura Clan that you created can be considered your clones and incarnations. However, 99% of the Asura Clan today are reincarnated through the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Just based on that alone, I can convict you of killing the innocent and poisoning the living. Please punish me with Heavenly Punishment!”
“Hahaha, hahahaha!” Patriarch Nether River’s face suddenly turned extremely ferocious. Blood seeped out of his eyes and the heart of his brows. Three eighteen arms appeared behind him!
“These are the current disciples of the Dao Sect! How laughable! I have killed all the way from the ancient times to the ancient times. All living beings are slaughtered by me! I used killing to prove my Dao and earned my name by killing! If the heavens want to destroy me, I will cut the heavens. If the earth does not submit to me, I will split the earth! Back then, your senior brother only joined forces with the Lady of Earth and was hindered by the Heavenly Dao. That was why I was defeated. Now, you actually dare to spout nonsense in front of me!”
At that moment, another star radiance scattered from above. It seemed to be endless.
Outside the city, the fluctuations of the battle became more and more intense.
From top to bottom, a large number of ordinary Asuras had already arrived. They did not resist or sense anything and crashed into the blood pillar. The perfection on the twelfth-grade lotus flower became more obvious… Patriarch Nether River’s body became more and more corporeal. His gaze at Li Changshou became more and more sarcastic. Blood patterns appeared on his old face.
Li Changshou frowned slightly, as if he was thinking of a solution.
A timid voice suddenly sounded from the side. “Patriarch… can you spare everyone’s lives?”
“Huh?”
Patriarch Nether River suddenly turned his head and raised his left hand!
Bang! With a muffled sound, Princess Iron Fan’s slender body flew out and cracked the wall beside him. She lowered her head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Patriarch Nether River cursed “When did my Asura become so weak!? You’re not worthy to be my daughter!”
Princess Iron Fan struggled to get up and knelt down with her head lowered. She kept kowtowing to the Nether River.
She sobbed silently, her eyes filled with confusion. Li Changshou calculated the time in his heart and continued to speak, attracting Patriarch Nether River’s attention.
“Patriarch Nether River, I might not be able to stop you from reviving today, but you won’t be able to live a carefree life for a few days. Why don’t we make a bet? If I win, you will hand over the twelfth-grade red lotus. If I lose, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God will stop surrounding you today.”
Patriarch Nether River only sneered and did not reply.
Waves of starlight shone down again. The pillar of light above was almost filled with human figures. It continuously filled Patriarch Nether River’s remnant soul.
The ferocious ancient mighty figure waved his left hand at the Dharma artifact ball beside him. He took out two human souls and stuffed them into his mouth. He squinted at Li Changshou. Patriarch Nether River said leisurely, “According to the memories I just obtained, you seem to care about the life and death of the human race.” “I’m a human,” Li Changshou said coldly. “You don’t seem to care about the life and death of the Asura Clan.”
“I can decide my life and death for the item of creation. Why can’t I?” “Do you have the guts to agree to this bet?”
“How dare a mere brat spout nonsense in front of me!
You just want to stall until the disciples of the Dao Sect rush here, “Patriarch Nether River said coldly.” So what if I agree? Tell me, how do you want to bet?”
Li Changshou waved his hand and waved his sleeve. He pointed outside the hall and said, “Let’s bet. I can break the surrounding Sea Serpent Qi!”
Patriarch Nether River’s eyes focused. The hall immediately fell silent. The rumbling sounds outside the city could be heard. Countless Asura Clan experts’ auras erupted one after another. At that moment, they were preventing the experts from the Dao Sect from approaching the pillar of light to ensure that the weaker Asura Clan members would successfully fly into the flames like moths to a flame.
In the abandoned hall, a rough voice shouted from the corner, “This is the essence Clam Qi. Nothing can break it!”
“Hey, do you guys want to bet?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “You should be confident.”
“Interesting,” Patriarch Nether River said calmly. “I agree with this bet.”
“Will the ancient experts go back on their words?”
Patriarch Nether River snorted. “I have my own credibility.” Li Changshou’s voice sank. “Before I attack, can you return the human Dharma artifact to me?” Patriarch Nether River smiled coldly and waved his finger gently. The Dharma artifact ball landed in Li Changshou’s palm. There were less than twenty souls inside.
Li Changshou sighed and placed the Dharma artifact ball into his sleeve. In the corners, four gazes landed on Li Changshou. The black figure holding the black spear sneered. “If you have a way to break the Sea Serpent Qi, why did you delay it until now?” “Because this technique needs some help.” Li Changshou took out a jade token from his sleeve and slowly crushed it. “I heard that the essence of the Sea Serpent is extremely mysterious. It cannot be searched or captured. It is the last life-saving method of the Sea Serpent. There is no way to break it.”
An old voice answered from the corner. “That’s right. You know that and still dare to make a bet? You’re really spouting nonsense to stall for time!” “Fellow Daoist, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou’s expression became colder, and his voice became more confident. “I’ve thought of many methods previously and tried many methods. In the end, I gave up. My intelligence can’t compare to so many experts from the ancient times. This conclusion is difficult to overthrow. However, I changed my mind in time. Everyone, please take a look. Are there more people at the four walls of the city?”
The four black shadows and the Patriarch of the Nether River in the hall checked their surroundings at the same time. Just as Li Changshou had said, there were more than ten figures everywhere. A rough male voice asked, “So what if I am?”
Li Changshou said, “There is essence mirage Qi here, but there are no ferocious beasts like the Mirage. Your mirage Qi seems to be… limited. This is the Netherworld. What is the most abundant in the Netherworld?”
“Souls?”
The black shadow holding the spear answered immediately.
“To be honest, you really chose the wrong place.”
Li Changshou said, “This is the deepest part of the sea of blood. When things reach an extreme, they will reverse. There is less filth in the sea of blood and more clarity. Ordinary souls can stay here.” As soon as he finished speaking, the figures on the four walls attacked at the same time. When he took a closer look, he realized that the four Yama Lords were each leading fourteen or fifteen judges. At that moment, they attacked together and established the four Ghost Gates! The Ghost Gate opened, and a cold wind blew! The entire ruined city was filled with phantoms in an instant. Half of the phantoms lowered their heads and fell asleep, while the other half looked around in confusion.
The specialty of the Netherworld, male and female vengeful spirits! The four Yama Lords and the Magistrates immediately cast their spells. In an instant, the cold wind rose again and retracted countless souls into the gates of Hell.
Then…
The four Yama Lords carried the Ghost Faction and turned to run. They immediately escaped into the sea of blood and disappeared. Li Changshou snapped his fingers. Perfected Taiyi, who was under the Taiji Painting, stared at the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier and slowly flew out. He flew a thousand feet forward and stood in the air with his hands behind his back.
The Sea Serpent Qi was exhausted. Seeing that, the four figures in the hall said at the same time,
“How can that be!?!”
“That’s impossible!” “Using endless vengeful spirits to exhaust the Sea Serpent Qi?” “Brilliant.”
Patriarch Nether River’s ferocious face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Li Changshou pointed at the twelfth-grade red lotus and said coldly, “Fellow Daoist, this red lotus should be mine.”
Patriarch Nether River laughed in anger. “Hahahaha! Dream on!” “I have my credibility? How ear-piercing is that?” Li Changshou said, “The Sea Serpent Qi is gone. You have no chance of winning. If you admit defeat now, I might be able to give you some dignity.”
“Little brat, you!”
Patriarch Nether River’s eyes were filled with madness. The Primordial Massacre Sword returned to its sheath and hung by his side. He formed complicated seals with his hands, and a dazzling sanguine light burst out from his body. The twelfth-grade red lotus petal trembled slightly, and layers of strange Dao runes appeared on it. “The Blood God returns to the origin!” In an instant, the blood-colored pillar of light above the hall expanded several times and erupted with layers of ripples. The entire sea of blood sounded with the chanting of sutras.
At the periphery of the city, the Asura Clan experts, who were fighting more and more experts from the Dao Sect, had red light in their eyes. In the sea of blood, the dense Asuras surged towards the pillar of light with all their might like mad demons! In the city, beside the abandoned hall, red light began to flicker in Iron Fan’s eyes, but a Spirit Pill in her stomach quietly melted, allowing her eyes to quickly regain clarity. At the same time, the metal fan seemed to have heard a shout from above…
“This shout is very anxious. It’s like the last cry when you wake up from a dream and are destroyed.”
“Why does the Patriarch want to eat us!?!”
“I want to live, I want to live, Patriarch…” “Patriarch, please let us go. We will follow you forever!” “Patriarch!” The young girl knelt on the metal fan and kept kowtowing. She shouted with a trembling voice, “I am willing to offer my Primordial Dao Body. Patriarch, please spare our clansmen. Please spare our lives! Please! We just want to live…”
“Rascal!”
Patriarch Nether River flew into a rage. He grabbed the silver-haired girl, Iron Fan, with his left hand and pulled her over. He pressed her forehead and wisps of Primordial Energy quickly left the Dao Body of the metal fan and were absorbed by Patriarch Nether River! Patriarch Nether River cursed, “You were given your lives by me! Now, I’m just taking it back!” Iron Fan’s red eyes were filled with despair. She felt her Yuan Qi being extracted. Her body trembled continuously, but she did not struggle. Seeing that, Li Changshou said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Nether River, I advise you not to hurt her. Otherwise, you won’t have any chance of survival today.” Patriarch Nether River’s eyes revealed a ferocious glint. However, he hesitated and temporarily stopped absorbing the metal fan’s essence energy. At some point in time, the rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by the Water God incarnation, who was only at the Golden Immortal realm.
As a result, when he spoke, Patriarch Nether River and the four black shadows listened attentively…
Just the fact that the vengeful spirit had broken through the Sea Serpent Qi shocked them. Li Changshou said calmly, “Actually, Fellow Daoist Nether River and the four of you have made many mistakes. Firstly, the Primordial World is no longer the ancient times. It is now the era where the Heavenly Dao establishes order. If you want to take advantage of this great calamity to revive the Netherworld River, you are completely courting death. I reckon that you were also persuaded by someone. I won’t mention that person. Moreover, my incarnation did not come here to stall for time. Instead, it is here to divert everyone’s attention and give the four Yama Lords a chance to release the vengeful spirits and resolve the miasma. When they appeared, did everyone forget to attack and was only shocked? Hahaha! There’s still the third and fourth matter… How about the third matter first?”
Li Changshou paused.
Patriarch Nether River and the four black shadows held their breaths. They were already about to attack and tear the paper effigy apart. Li Changshou smiled and said warmly, “At this moment, I’m indeed stalling for time.” Swoosh!
Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed on Li Changshou’s shoulder. Ripples appeared in the universe in front of him!
Before the other four black shadows could react, the sudden golden light had already pounced in front of Patriarch Nether River!
In just an instant! Patriarch Nether River’s left hand was severed, and Iron Fan disappeared! Behind Patriarch Nether River, a bird-shaped gap appeared in the broken wall of the hall. Following that, the broken wall collapsed! The Golden-Winged Roc appeared thousands of feet away. It shielded Iron Fan behind its back and stuffed a few Spirit Pills into her mouth with immortal power.
Then, the Golden-Winged Roc looked at the black shadow holding the Spear of Slaughter. Its narrow eyes were filled with anger.
Patriarch Nether River squinted. At that moment, he was not shocked or angry. Instead, he looked puzzled. His broken left hand slowly condensed.
Starlight scattered, making Patriarch Nether River look a little holy. He asked curiously, “Why do you insist on saving her?”
“This is the fourth thing I want to tell you. However, before that, why don’t you take a look at the situation everywhere?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changshou turned around. Outside the hall, the green ox, Perfected Taiyi, and Fairy Qiong Xiao arrived at the same time.
Outside the city, dozens of figures soared into the sky!
Chi Jingzi of Chan School, Perfected Huang Long, Yun Zhongzi, the Great Daoist Master of Numinous Treasure…
There were twelve Golden Immortals and seven of them. Four of them were Golden Immortals!
The Black Clouds Immortal of Jie School, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, the Golden-Ringed Immortal, the Heavenly Lord Qin Tian, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, the Goddess of Golden Light, and the Heavenly Lord Zhao Tian…
More than twenty experts from the various Immortal Islands had arrived. There were hundreds of Jie School immortals outside!
Waves of pressure landed on the ruins of the hall! Li Changshou’s paper effigy stood with a smile. At that moment, his white eyebrows and white hair made him look even more elegant. Without any warning, the four black shadows hiding in the corners of the hall suddenly turned around and rushed forward. They directly shattered a few corners and fled before the Dao Sect immortals could surround them!
He had already made a choice in the shortest time possible and immediately left the matter.
Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as the four black shadows moved, the Golden-Winged Roc and the dozens of experts around it immediately chased after and blocked the path. They started a huge battle at the bottom of the sea of blood!
Immortals from the Dao Sect appeared from all directions and formed an inescapable net…
Li Changshou did not even look at the outside. He only looked at the calm Patriarch Nether River and the lonely iron fan in the distance.
A wisp of spiritual will landed on the metal fan.
Patriarch Nether River asked calmly, “What’s the fourth matter?”
Li Changshou asked, “In your opinion, did I spend so much effort to stall for time and plan to deal with you?”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Of course not.” Li Changshou said seriously, “If I want to deal with you, I only need to trigger the Heavenly Punishment.” “At the end of the day, you’re just here for the red lotus.” Patriarch Nether River smiled coldly. “Let me put it this way. The red lotus has already merged with me. If you want to obtain the red lotus, you have to protect me.”
Li Changshou shook his head. “Fellow Daoist, you’re indeed old. You’re fierce on the outside but weak on the inside. It makes me laugh.”
“You!”
Patriarch Nether River’s eyes focused. “Me? If you don’t hurt the souls of the human race, I will not lack respect for you. Since you have already reached this stage, I can tell you clearly today. I spent so much effort to get rid of the surrounding Sea Serpent Qi so that I could save the princess of the Asura Clan, Iron Fan, who is also your daughter in name. I told you so much previously not for you to hear, but for your daughter. Sorry, in my plan today… she’s not important.”
Li Changshou slowly took a step back. However, a wisp of blue Dao runes floated past his feet and enveloped the hall. His main body’s eyes were filled with divine light. The paper effigy in the hall took out a Dharma artifact light ball from his sleeve and took out a familiar soul.
Mystical Power: Equilibrium of all living beings.
Patriarch Nether River’s eyes suddenly widened. His aura suddenly decreased by nearly half.
The scholar’s soul suddenly lit up and expanded to the size of a normal person. He looked down at himself in shock.
“Huh?”
Then, he hurriedly covered his mouth. When he looked up at Patriarch Nether River, he could not help but shiver and hide behind Li Changshou’s paper effigy. Li Changshou did not stop talking. He continued to explain calmly, “Patriarch Nether River, I took the initiative to send your daughter to you so that she can get closer to you and see your true appearance. She respects you blindly and feels that the meaning of life is to exist for you. That would not be beneficial to her future. Therefore, I set up all of this. I even spent a lot of effort to cast this mystical ability on you. I’ve been working so hard just to help a senior brother of Ren School tell her a principle that everyone else understands…” Pfft!
A numinous treasure blade pierced through Patriarch Nether River’s back, through his chest, and then into a lotus petal of the twelfth-grade red lotus.
Patriarch Nether River frowned and turned his head with some effort.
He was just an illusion and would not be injured. However, the shock and anger in his eyes could not be faked.
A young girl with silver-white long hair was currently in a diving posture with her head lowered. Her left hand was holding the sword hilt, and her right hand was pressed on the end of the sword hilt. There was also the image of a small pagoda above her head.
Patriarch Nether River’s eyes widened…
A moment ago, when the Golden-Winged Roc chased after the four black shadows,
Iron Fan’s eyes were listless as she sat there and allowed the medicinal effects of the Spirit Pill to spread in her body.
A voice transmission entered her ear. A shadow seemed to appear around her. The shadow was slowly pacing and whispering. “Do you still not understand? This is the ancestor that you look forward to. Could it be that your destiny is to become his nutrients? Even if you are willing to look at your clansmen… They did not have any chance to resist. They could only accept this outcome. Those who had lost their minds rushed here. Their True Spirits did not remain. They could only plead at the last moment. Is it really enough for you to sacrifice yourself?”
“I… What can I do…”
A wisp of Yin-Yang Dao runes circulated and a long sword landed in front of the metal fan. It was rusty.
“Your destiny has always been yours to control.”
“For living beings like you who are controlled by mystical abilities, the only freedom is to choose life or death before being controlled.”
“Die?”
“Are you afraid?”
“I’m not afraid! But I want to save them. I want to save them…”
“Then go. Look forward and make your choice.” Iron Fan looked up and saw Patriarch Nether River’s bloody back. His body trembled a few times before he lowered his head.
With a soft sigh, the illusory figures around her gradually walked away. Following that, the shouts that came from the clansmen before they disappeared were heard. The only freedom was to choose life or death…
“I want to save them, I want to save them…”
She stood up and somehow felt an immense strength that kept pushing her forward and her footsteps gradually became faster. She did not notice the Dao runes that appeared around her.
The Dao runes of the Taiji Painting, the Dao runes of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and the Dao runes of the Cosmic Ruler!
One step, two steps…
Life had always been in her hands.
It had always been in her hands…
It had always been in her hands!
“Ancestor, the clansmen should not die like this. You should at least ask them if they are willing to sacrifice themselves!” The figure with the rusty sword appeared in front of her…
Patriarch…
Life…
I don’t want to die!
Pfft!
Iron Fan panted heavily. She slowly raised her head and looked at the side of Patriarch Nether River’s face. There was no anger or hatred in those red eyes. There was only sorrow that could not be dispersed. Tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes. “Patriarch, that… that’s not our fate…” “How dare you betray me!”
Blood light surged around Patriarch Nether River. The metal fan was sent flying, but his body was protected by the Mysterious Yellow aura.
The green ox hurriedly rushed forward and caught Iron Fan before falling to the side. Li Changshou sighed softly when he saw that. The paper effigy turned into ashes. Immortal light flew over from the surroundings and surrounded Red Lotus and Patriarch Nether River… Beside the city wall, Li Changshou retracted his Dao runes and yawned tiredly. He stood up and carefully walked to Yun Xiao’s side. He sat down and slowly sighed.
Patriarch Nether River is the true ruthless person of the Primordial World.
“Changshou…” The fairy’s dream talk reached his ears. Li Changshou was shocked. He leaned closer and listened carefully.
“Kneel.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Hmph, dream on.
