Various forces started fighting against the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag.
Although the situation was chaotic, Mahamayuri was still the most popular one. Most of the time, the others still worked together to fight against him.
However, the Five-colored Divine Light was too domineering. It was almost invincible. Even a top-notch expert like Daoist Lu Ya tried his best to avoid facing it head-on.
If not for the White Cloud Bound Flag, it would be hard to stop Mahamayuri's advancement.
Yan Zhaoge watched from the side for a while. Then, he turned to look at the battle between the real and fake Nezha and smiled, "We still have to depend on you, Wood Devil."
The fake Nezha smiled, "Young Heavenly Lord, you must be joking. Although I can transform into Daoist Kong Xuan's appearance, the Five-colored Divine Light is unique. Without it, what can I do even if I transform? Even now, I can't completely transform into the Three Seas Meeting Divine Treasure Celestial Body's various prowess. "
The real Nezha snorted. Other than his astonishing defensive capabilities, his Treasured Lotus Celestial Body didn't fear any evil arts. This was his greatest advantage.
When the Wood Devil transformed into his appearance, he could replicate other aspects. However, he couldn't replicate the Treasured Lotus Celestial Body's various prowess.
However, it was sufficient to fight against him. After all, Nezha wasn't proficient in evil arts.
On the other hand, while the Treasured Lotus Celestial Body could defend against all sorts of evil arts, it couldn't defend against the Shadow Devil's technique. It was basically useless against the Shadow Devil.
Nezha felt the Shadow Devil's words were extremely irritating to him.
He was already enraged, and his attacks became even more ferocious.
However, other than the Treasured Lotus Celestial Body, the Shadow Devil didn't lack any other abilities. He dealt with Nezha's attacks according to the situation and neutralized Nezha's waves of attacks.
"Speaking of which, Young Heavenly Lord, you're the one that everyone expects to win." While blocking the real Nezha's attacks, the fake Nezha smiled towards Yan Zhaoge, "Among everyone here, isn't there only you who can fight against Daoist Kong Xuan?"
He was naturally referring to Yan Zhaoge and the others' reappearance of the Great Sage Equalling Heavens.
The Shadow Demon's words were half true and half false. Although he was speaking from the bottom of his heart, he was also trying to sound him out.
"We'll hold off Mahamayuri, exhausting him to death, then let you take the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag?" Yan Zhaoge chortled, "Isn't your plan a little too ingenious?"
Shadow Demon said, "Now that so many heroes have gathered, it may not be our generation that will succeed, but if Young Heavenly Lord still holds back, I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan will eventually succeed."
"That's fine too. Anyway, we have the Green Lotus Flag and you have the White Cloud Boundary Flag. Our two clans don't have to worry too much," Yan Zhaoge shrugged.
The Shadow Demon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Nine Underworlds indeed already had the White Cloud Bound Flag, so the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag wasn't necessary.
However, the reason why they participated in the competition this time was to trade with the Western Pure Lands in exchange for the existences that the Nine Underworlds truly needed.
Although the ancient Dipankara Buddha plotted against the Nine Nether, and in the end, he still had to help the Nine Nether, but if he didn't extract enough benefits for himself, then he wouldn't be the ancient Dipankara Buddha.
Without the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, the Nine Underworlds might have to pay a higher price.
"Speaking of which, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag is of the Jade Clear lineage. Isn't it inappropriate for Young Heavenly Lord to say this?" said the Shadow Demon, feeling both annoyed and amused at the same time.
Yan Zhaoge was surprised, "According to this, our Daoism's Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag is returning to its rightful owner. Isn't it even more inappropriate for you to mess things up?"
While the two were arguing, the others were also paying attention to Yan Zhaoge, including Mahamayuri himself, Daoist Lu Ya, and the Primordial Heart Devil.
"You're making all sorts of excuses. Could it be that you've expended too much energy in the battle for the Immortal Extermination Formation back then? Is that why the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's true body can't reappear today?" A Great Demon that was fighting with the Incongruence Divine Mother asked directly.
Yan Zhaoge turned to look at the Great Demon and stared at his nine heads, "The matters of the world are difficult. Many wolves and jackals obstruct our path. It's a pity that our Daoism's foundation isn't strong, and we're not wealthy. If we want to do something, we have to plan carefully and save as much as possible, in case of a sudden storm."
"For example, someone has been hiding in the Astro Mountains Starry Seas for all these years, and he rarely comes out. If I want to kill him, I have to consider what would happen if stronger Demon Race Great Sages like Daoist Lu Ya or the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles obstruct me?"
The Nine-Headed Bug was enraged. He sneered and said, "Heh, you're just bluffing. Let's see how you're going to kill me while I'm standing right here."
Yan Zhaoge smiled and didn't say anything. He looked at Mahamayuri, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, and Daoist Lu Ya and the others. If it weren't for their presence and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, he would have given the Nine-Headed Bug a good beating.
However, in the eyes of others, his actions seemed to be a little fierce in appearance but weak in heart.
Everyone couldn't help but think, "It seems like during the battle for the Immortal Extermination Formation, the Great Sage Equalling Heavens's true body had reappeared. Although he managed to block Mahamayuri, he had expended too much of his strength. Even after three hundred years, he still hasn't recovered. Yan Zhaoge is merely bluffing."
"Or is he trying to deceive us into giving it our all so that he can reap the benefits and deal the final blow?"
Despite having such thoughts, no one intended to verify their guesses with their own bodies.
It would be for the best if the Great Sage Equalling Heavens's true body didn't appear. Even Mahamayuri didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, other than the Great Sage Equalling Heavens's true body, everyone else was also wary of Feng Yunsheng's presence.
With Feng Yunsheng's current cultivation realm, even Kong Xuan had to be careful when he launched a sneak attack. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he might be defeated.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm, and he remained calm.
Since Mahamayuri had arrived, there was no need for him to continue playing the empty fort strategy. Instead, he would be helping Kong Xuan share the burden.
It would be more appropriate for everyone to focus their attention on Mahamayuri.
Mahamayuri had been in the Western Pure Lands for so many years, and he had always been unique. Yan Zhaoge didn't believe that the Dipankara Ancient Buddha wouldn't be prepared at all.
He didn't possess all of the Buddha's Śarīras. How could he not be wary of today's situation?
Previously, during the fight for the Buddha's Śarīras, the Western Pure Lands still had the Green Lotus Flag, so they could ignore it.
However, this time, they didn't have the Green Lotus Flag anymore. How could they not be wary of Mahamayuri's sudden participation in the battle?
Furthermore, they had come to fight for the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag for the long term.
Their new method would only be able to deal with it temporarily, which was why they placed such importance on the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag. However, even if it could only deal with it temporarily, it should still be able to play its role now.
Facing Mahamayuri, Buddhism, or rather, the alliance of Buddhism and the Nine Underworlds this time, wouldn't be able to keep their composure.
This wasn't a problem of ability. Daoism already had the Green Lotus Flag and the Floating Flame Flag as their foundation. They wouldn't be flustered even if they had sufficient resources.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge was able to sit there calmly. He wasn't afraid that his opponent wouldn't make the first move.
