"Junior Brother Changgeng, the universe here has been 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. It's flawless."
"I already know about this, but don't worry. I already have a way to deal with the surrounding Sea Serpent Qi …"
Whose voice is that?
Changgeng?
That name is so familiar.
The silver-haired girl's eyelashes trembled slightly. She sensed the seal around her essence soul and felt inexplicably anxious.
He listened 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.
These two paper effigies are for you. Each of you will leave an incarnation here.
Although there is a Taiji Painting to conceal it, we cannot be careless. We have to be as thorough as possible.
Remember, our first goal is to take away the red lotus. Our second goal is to destroy the red lotus.
When I confirm that the red lotus can't be used by the Dao Sect, I will crush this jade token. You guys retreat in time. I will use the Great Spirit Explosion to destroy the red lotus and Patriarch Nether River's remnant soul. I will raze this place to the ground and completely eliminate the hidden dangers here … "
Great Spirit Explosion?
The silver-haired girl's Dao heart trembled slightly.
At that moment, her essence soul felt a warm Dharma power. She opened her eyes slightly …
The silver-haired girl saw a familiar back and an unfamiliar side profile. However, the other party's mysterious Dao runes caused her Dao heart to tremble!
Water God!
The Water God of the Celestial Court, the ruthless person who could make the Saint of the Western Sect suffer losses and make Aunt Wen warn her not to provoke him!
She had naturally seen the Water God's Great Spirit Explosion.
Today, he was actually 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 quietly dissipated.
A rather handsome bull's face moved over from the side, filling the silver-haired girl's field of vision. He smiled and said, "Don't worry.
He smiled and said, "You're awake?"
The silver-haired girl immediately retreated and jumped up agilely. Her gaze passed the burly man in front of her and landed on Li Changshou, Qiongxiao Fairy, 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 handed it to the girl with both hands.
At the side, Li Changshou, Qiong Xiao, and Perfected Taiyi only glanced over and continued to discuss.
She hurriedly snatched the Primordial Massacre Sword and noticed the heavy restrictions on the sword. She frowned slightly.
Both she and her sword had been captured.
However, following that, the girl looked at the green ox, her eyes filled with grief and indignation, "You're on the same side!"
"This, this is purely a misunderstanding." The green ox hurriedly said, "When I met you previously, I didn't know that I was going to come here to reinforce.
If you don't believe me, look. The top experts of the three sects have been ambushed. "
Following the direction of the green ox's finger, the young girl immediately saw … the eight experts of Daoism sleeping soundly at the side!
The green ox thought about the explanation that Senior Brother Changgeng had given him previously and immediately sighed.
His bright eyes were filled with sincerity. He slowed down his tone and said in a low voice, "I do not have a predetermined stance towards you. We only met by chance in the sea of blood.
Although I know that we will be standing opposite each other in the future, at the very least, I will not aim my fist at you again. "
After saying that, the green ox looked down at his palm. His face was filled with regret. Then, he slowly heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to reveal a sincere smile.
"Perhaps it's a misunderstanding.
However, it's just … it's quite uncomfortable. "
The silver-haired girl frowned slightly and looked up at the burly man's face. For some reason, she was clearly disgusted previously, but at that moment, she felt a little …
She could not bear it.
"I …" She did not know what to say.
"Can you tell me your name?"
The green ox asked with despair in his eyes, as if he was going to part forever in the next moment.
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 low voice, "I've offended you previously."
The young girl, Iron Fan, pursed her pale lips and lowered her head to return the bow with her sword …
In just a few short sentences, the green ox had changed his image. He had turned from a stubborn ox to an affectionate old ox and left a shallow mark in Iron Fan's heart!
Above, lines, actions, expressions, and emotions — Water God of the Celestial Court, Li Changgeng!
Huh?
Li Changshou suddenly snapped out of his daze. He carefully listened to the conversation between the green ox and the silver-haired girl and captured the information.
Iron Fan? Iron Fan … Iron!
Princess Iron Fan? Rakshasa? The wife of the Bull Demon King and Red Boy's mother?
This?!
Are you kidding me? The green ox of the Tushita Palace is the One-Horned Suanni King who played with all the immortals and Buddhas with a diamond bracelet!
How could this …
Li Changshou was speechless. His clear Dao heart worked and forcefully calmed his fluctuating emotions.
I didn't expect that there would be so many stories before the calamity of the Journey to the West.
However, I, the future Taibai Jinxing, seem to be in the story …
Thinking of that, Li Changshou smiled.
Let them be.
The young girl, Iron Fan, looked past 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. However, in the end, he only placed his hands behind his back and looked at the sky.
The young girl, Iron Fan, slowly walked forward and locked 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 beside him, turned around and tried her best to hold in her laughter.
The young girl frowned slightly and said, "You want to stop the Patriarch from reviving. I'm the princess of the Asura race. 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're on opposing sides, so I can only choose to fulfill her wish."
"This has nothing to do with him."
The young girl wanted to draw her sword, but the Primordial Massacre Sword was sealed too many times. She could not pull it out at that moment.
Li Changshou shook his head and turned around.
"Forget it. I'll pretend that I've never seen her.
Patriarch Nether River will definitely not be able to revive today. I'll say this. If I see you later, I will definitely not spare your life.
For the sake of this Senior Brother of mine, 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 him. She bit her lips and lowered her head to bow to Li Changshou with cupped fists.
Then, she turned to the green ox and said coolly, "I owe you my life."
After saying that, she walked forward with the Primordial Massacre Sword in hand. 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 taking less than ten steps, her body swayed and she slowly fell to the side. Her aura was calm and comfortable as she fell asleep on the spot.
Sea Serpent Qi, dream.
At that moment, Li Changshou stopped the green ox's arm. He could sense the power that was about to erupt from the green ox's body.
He was really moved by this.
Perfected Taiyi shook his head and sighed softly. "The Water God is really good at deceiving young girls."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It was clearly because this young girl, one of the 72 princesses of the Asura Race, was too innocent!
Qiong Xiao stared at the silver-haired girl's unconscious appearance and pinched her chin in thought.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Do you have any brilliant plans?"
"No, I'm thinking if I'll look better with my hair like this."
Qiong Xiao fiddled with a strand of hair in front of her and muttered.
"Remember to discuss it with your sister," Li Changshou replied casually and 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 his doorstep. It should be very beneficial to Patriarch Nether River …
After a while, the green ox looked a little worried. He whispered, "Senior Brother Changgeng, I'll bring her back."
"Don't be anxious …"
Swoosh …
Just as Li Changshou, who was under the Taiji Painting, was about to speak, a sanguine light suddenly flew out from the abandoned hall in the middle of the city. The sanguine light condensed into a huge hand that picked up the young girl on the ground and pulled 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 sky.
Qiong Xiao activated the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and Perfected Taiyi activated the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier. At that moment, they did not move.
If they wanted to snatch the red lotus, they had to enter the hall.
However, if he only threw Dharma treasures to smash people and do some demolition, he naturally did not have to go over personally.
Li Changshou found a comfortable position and sat cross-legged at the edge of the area enveloped by the Taiji Painting. He sorted out his thoughts.
Everything that should be mobilized in the sea of blood had already been mobilized …
At the same time, he raised his sword fingers and slowly swiped them across his eyes. His eyes turned azure, and a treasure banner that emitted waves of divine light appeared behind him.
The Water God Treasure, the Soap Martial Flag!
Rich Heavenly Dao power enveloped Li Changshou. A thick paper effigy flew out of Li Changshou's sleeve. There was a Golden Core spinning inside, transforming into the appearance of an old immortal that was often used by the Water God of the Celestial Court. He waved his horsetail whisk and took a step forward.
The paper effigy had only taken five to six steps when Li Changshou's main body's left palm emitted lightning, dispelling the sleepiness that was no longer considered strong.
Li Changshou said loudly, "Fellow Daoist in the hall, can I have a chat!?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of black light shot out from the abandoned hall and mercilessly tore Li Changshou's paper effigy apart.
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 forward.
"Fellow Daoist in the hall, can I have a chat?"
Black light flashed again. Li Changshou's second ordinary paper effigy was instantly killed.
Qiong Xiao's face was filled with anger. However, when she recalled Li Changshou's repeated instructions, she temporarily endured it. The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors turned into thirty feet long. The two blades were opened, and the shadows of two primordial flood dragons slowly swam.
A third paper effigy flew out of Li Changshou's sleeve. He fled to the place where the previous paper effigy was and slowly walked forward.
This time, the black shadow in the hall that kept attacking held the spear in his hand and clearly hesitated.
The black shadow cursed softly, "Are the incarnations of the Water God endless?"
An old voice replied from the side, "The second disciple of the Grand Pure One is naturally outstanding."
"Hmph!"
The black shadow holding the God-Slaying Spear snorted coldly. The spear in his hand shot 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 under the Taiji Painting!
First, golden light flashed. Two primordial flood dragons darted out from under the Taiji Painting. Their tails intertwined, and their bodies suddenly turned into ten thousand feet long. They smashed towards the abandoned hall!
Another fire dragon roared. Nine four-clawed azure dragons wrapped in orange-red flames soared into the sky and pounced down ferociously behind the two giant flood dragons.
Bang!
In the hall, a black shadow smashed the walking stick in his hand on the ground. An icy-blue 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 Hierarch. Qiong Xiao was one of the eight disciples of Jie School. At that moment, she was attacking with almost all her might. How could it be so easy to resist?
The giant flood dragon roared and slammed into the wall of the array formation.
The icy-blue light barrier was almost shattered by the giant flood dragon. Various parts of it flickered, and cracks appeared at the bottom …
Following that, the nine fire dragons attacked consecutively, causing the cracks to gradually increase.
The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors did not attack continuously. The giant flood dragon turned from real to illusory and returned to the Taiji Painting. It entrenched itself around Qiong Xiao and increased Qiong Xiao's power by more than 30%!
Perfected Taiyi retracted the nine divine 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. He escaped to the place where the previous paper effigy was and continued to stride forward.
"Fellow Daoist in the hall, are you willing to have a chat?"
The four black shadows in the hall fell silent this time.
They suddenly realized the predicament they were facing today. The essence Sea Serpent Qi that they had originally released could no longer give them much sense of security.
It was very simple …
As long as the Dao Sect did not want to snatch the red lotus and instead wanted to destroy this place, when more Daoist experts arrived later, this place would be destroyed in an instant. It would be difficult for them to escape.
The old voice among the four black shadows spoke again.
"There's no need to fight to the death with the Dao Sect. Moreover, the Saints are only watching and have not attacked."
"Let him come over."
Behind the four black shadows, a faint voice sounded. "I still need the Blood God to recover his Dharma powers and delay him for a while.
This Water God seems to be able to influence the Dao Sect's decision. "
The four black shadows nodded. This time, Li Changshou walked forward.
…
When he realized that the fellow in the hall was no longer attacking, Li Changshou rode a cloud forward and rushed into the hall as soon as possible.
There were many array formations in front of him, and his immortal senses could not penetrate them.
The Taiji Painting was protecting the big shots on his side. To be safe, Li Changshou did not have the option of using the Taiji Painting in his current plan.
With the Dao Sect as his backing, there was naturally more than one way to win. However, he habitually chose the safest and most comprehensive path.
Let's not talk about anything else for now. The silver-haired girl, no, Princess Iron Fan, was a living being that Brother Green Ox had fallen in love with at first sight.
Huh?
Li Changshou was puzzled.
Could it be that Teacher had given him the word "go" to ask him to help Old Cow, and not for that red lotus?
Hey, that's really possible, and the possibility is not low.
Fortunately, the plan that I have specified revolved around that …
At that moment, another group of ordinary Asuras broke through the violent waves created by the Golden-Winged Roc in the surging sea of blood above his head and charged towards the pillar of light.
They were like flying insects flying into a flame.
Li Changshou carefully sensed through the paper effigy that he had left at the periphery. A large number of Asura experts who were normal and whose eyes were not completely red had arrived near the ruins of the city.
Those Asura experts seemed to be capturing the traces of the Golden-Winged Roc. They seemed to want to wipe out all the obstacles to Patriarch Nether River's revival.
Li Changshou could only smile.
"Stop."
A cold shout sounded from the hall. Li Changshou, who had already arrived at the door of the hall, did not sense it.
The paper effigy rode a cloud into the hall before stopping.
Killing intent.
An undisguised killing intent came from ahead. Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy to flick his horsetail whisk and look at the source of the killing intent.
It was a black shadow with a spear hiding in the corner. He could not see its exact appearance. It was the person who had ambushed his paper effigy and injured the Golden Roc.
In the other three corners of the hall, there were three other black shadows hiding. Two of them were ferocious beasts. The aura of a black shadow was a little strange. Li Changshou could not see through it.
A red lotus bloomed in the deepest part of the hall.
After the red lotus, the old Daoist priest that Li Changshou had seen in the "Heavenly Dao's Dream" more than ten years ago opened his eyes!
Lao Dao's figure condensed again, but his aura was a little strong.
His face was square, his eyes were long and narrow, and his grayish-white eyebrows were filled with sharpness. Although it was just a phantom, it gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
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 had already begun to emit a sense of perfection, as if it was about to fully mature.
There was a ball of light under the red lotus. There were only twenty to thirty light spots inside.
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 with his shadow.
He ate it.
Although the enhancement that the soul gave to Patriarch Nether River was insignificant, Li Changshou's expression immediately darkened.
Patriarch Nether River sneered. His voice sounded from all directions with disdain.
"The current Water God, you want to stop I from reviving?"
Li Changshou replied, "You were defeated in the past, yet you still want to defy the heavens and change your fate?"
Patriarch Nether River's sneer gradually disappeared, and his voice became 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, hugging the Primordial Massacre Sword and falling into a dream.
Patriarch Nether River's voice sounded again.
"No one can stop me from reviving today. You are just a mere disciple of the Dao Sect. How dare you …"
"Fellow Daoist, you're still a remnant soul, right?"
Patriarch Nether River could not help but pause when Li Changshou said that.
Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk and smiled calmly.
"If I'm not wrong, your revival today is just to awaken your remnant soul. You will use the twelfth-grade red lotus as your main body to escape into the Chaos Sea and slowly replenish your soul.
The reason you know about me is because you've read some of my memories from the Asura souls you've sucked dry.
Is that right? "
Patriarch Nether River said, "So what if I am?"
"Nothing." Li Changshou shrugged. "This place 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 phantom opened his left hand, and the Primordial Massacre Sword in Iron Fan's arms turned into a sanguine light. It flew to Patriarch Nether River's palm and condensed into a sword form again, emitting a trembling sound.
The restrictions on it dissipated layer by layer. The petals of the twelfth-grade lotus swayed gently. The sword that had been silent for a long time seemed to have awakened.
At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of wind and thunder outside the city.
Hundreds of Asura experts were attacking Bai Ze and more than ten experts from the Dao Sect outside the city.
A few extremely old Asura clansmen shone with resplendent light as they attacked the Golden-Winged Roc near the pillar of light, forcing the Golden-Winged Roc to stop stirring up the waves of the sea of blood and temporarily dodge.
The experts of the Asura Clan had all appeared!
"Sword …
My sword! "
In the shadows at the edge of the broken wall of the hall, Iron Fan suddenly woke up. Before she opened her eyes, she subconsciously hugged herself tightly. The sword in her arms had already 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 … I saved a few Shadow-Retaining Balls.
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.
"Father … Patriarch, you're back!"
Patriarch Nether River smiled faintly and looked at the silver-haired girl. Then, his gaze landed on Li Changshou.
He continued, "Today, the Dao Sect is actually so arrogant and conceited. They know that I have revived, but they only sent more than ten experts.
If you want to stop me now, you have already missed the opportunity.
The disciples of the Dao Sect are really getting worse with each generation. "
"Fellow Nether River, the more you say, the more guilty you seem. As an ancient mighty figure, you should at least have some pride. Why do you have to do this?"
Li Changshou looked at the four corners and smiled.
"I'm actually here to see these four fellow Daoists. I didn't expect you to be awake.
Fellow Daoists, this red lotus is of great use to my Dao Sect. Please give me face and leave now. My Dao Sect will definitely not hunt you down. "
It was a battle of words and a psychological game!
The four shadows in the corner did not move, nor did they make any sound.
Li Changshou asked curiously, "Do you think you can escape from the hands of the Saints?"
Patriarch Nether River slowly closed his eyes and said coldly, "If the Saints come, I will ask them why they are making things so difficult for me as fellow ancient beings!"
At that moment, the hall trembled slightly. Specks of light appeared above and scattered like stardust, converging into the remnant soul of the Nether River Patriarch.
The shadow of the Nether River Patriarch became more solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The silver-haired girl, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly. She looked up, and her pupils constricted.
She saw countless clansmen colliding with the blood-colored pillar of light that pierced through the sea of blood above the broken roof of the hall. They instantly vanished, leaving only ashes that fell and turned into starlight …
Li Changshou glanced at that from the corner of his eyes. He no longer had any doubts in his heart.
He said calmly, "Fellow Nether River, may I ask you something? What do you think these Asuras are?"
"The Asuras were created by I." Patriarch Nether River sneered. "Are you here to lecture I?"
"The Asuras are one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation." Li Changshou frowned. "Perhaps the first batch of Asuras you created were your clones and incarnations. However, ninety-nine percent of the Asuras today are reincarnated through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Based on that alone, I can convict you of killing the innocent and tormenting living beings, and invite the Heavenly Punishment to punish you! "
"Hahaha, hahahaha!"
Patriarch Nether River's expression suddenly turned extremely ferocious. Blood seeped out of his eyes and glabella, and a ferocious appearance with three heads and eighteen arms appeared behind him!
"This is the current disciple of the Dao Sect!
What a joke!
I have killed my way from the ancient times to the ancient times. I have slaughtered all living beings! I have proven my Dao by killing, and I have become famous by killing! If the heavens want to destroy me, I will slash the heavens. If the earth does not accept me, I will split the earth!
Back then, your senior brother only joined forces with the Lady of Earth and had the Heavenly Dao behind his back. That was why I was defeated. How dare you spout nonsense in front of me! "
At that moment, another starlight scattered from above, as if it was endless.
Outside the city, the fluctuations of the battle became more intense.
A large number of ordinary Asuras had already rushed over above and below the pillar of light. They did not resist or sense anything as they crashed into the pillar of blood.
The perfection on the twelfth-grade lotus became more and more obvious …
Patriarch Nether River's body became more and more corporeal. The way he looked at Li Changshou became more and more mocking. Blood patterns appeared on his old face.
Li Changshou frowned slightly, as if he was thinking of a solution.
Suddenly, a timid voice called out from the side, "Patriarch … can you spare everyone's lives?"
"Hmm?"
Patriarch Nether River suddenly turned his head and raised his left hand!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Iron Fan's delicate body was sent flying. She crashed into the broken wall beside her and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Patriarch Nether River cursed.
"When did my Asura become so weak?! You are not worthy of being my daughter! "
Iron Fan struggled to get up, lowered her head, and knelt down, 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 will not be able to live freely for long.
How about this, let's make a bet?
If I win, you will hand over the twelfth-grade Red Lotus. If I lose, the Water God of the Celestial Court will withdraw from the encirclement against you today. "
Patriarch Nether River only sneered and did not answer.
Waves of starlight shone down again. The pillar of light above was almost filled with human figures, continuously filling the remnant soul of Patriarch Nether River.
The ancient ferocious mighty figure waved his left hand at the Dharma artifact ball beside him, took out two human souls, and stuffed them into his mouth. He narrowed his eyes 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 humans."
"I'm a human," Li Changshou said coldly. "You don't seem to care about the life and death of the Asura."
"Why can't I seize the life and death of my creation?"
"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 delay until the Dao Sect disciples arrive, "Patriarch Nether River said coldly." So what if I agree?
Tell me, how do you want to bet? "
Li Changshou waved his hand, his robes billowing as he pointed outside the temple. "Let's bet that I can break the Sea Serpent Qi around me!"
Patriarch Nether River's eyes focused, and the temple fell silent.
Rumbling resounded from outside the city as the auras of countless Asura elites erupted one after another, preventing the Dao Sect elites from approaching the pillar of light and ensuring that the weaker Asura clansmen would fly into the flames like moths to a flame.
In the abandoned temple, a coarse voice shouted from a corner, "This is the Sea Serpent Qi. Nothing can break it!"
"There. Are you guys betting?"
Li Changshou smiled. "You should have the confidence."
"Interesting," Patriarch Nether River said coolly. "I agree to this bet."
"You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
Patriarch Nether River snorted. "I have my word."
Li Changshou's voice deepened. "Before I act, can you return the human artifact in your hand to me?"
The Patriarch Nether River smiled coldly. With a gentle shake of his fingers, the artifact ball fell into Li Changshou's palm. There were no more than twenty souls inside.
Li Changshou sighed and put the artifact ball into his sleeve.
In the four corners, four pairs of eyes fell on Li Changshou. The black figure holding the pitch-black spear sneered. "If you have a way to break the Sea Serpent Qi, why did you delay until now?"
"Because this method needs some help."
Li Changshou took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and slowly crushed it.
"I've heard that the Sea Serpent Qi of the Sea Serpent Qi is extremely mysterious. It cannot be searched or captured, and is the Sea Serpent Qi's last life-saving measure. There is no way to break it."
An old voice answered from the corner. "That's right. If you know this, why would you dare to make a bet? You're really stalling for time and spouting nonsense! "
"Fellow Daoist, don't be hasty." Li Changshou's expression grew colder and his voice more confident. "I've thought of many ways and tried many methods before, only to give up in the end.
My wisdom is no match for the experts of the ancient and ancient times, and such a conclusion is naturally difficult to overturn.
But I changed my train of thought in time.
Everyone, please look. Aren't there more figures around the city walls? "
The four black figures and the Nether River Patriarch looked everywhere at the same time. As Li Changshou had said, there were more than ten figures everywhere.
The rough male voice asked, "So what if we are?"
Li Changshou said, "There is Sea Serpent Qi here, but there are no ferocious beasts like the Sea Serpent Qi. Your Sea Serpent Qi seems to be limited.
This is the Netherworld, and the Netherworld has the Netherworld. What is the most abundant in the Netherworld? "
"Souls?"
The black figure holding the spear answered.
"To be honest, you really chose the wrong place."
Li Changshou said, "This is the deepest part of the Blood Sea. Things will go in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. There is less filth in the Blood Sea and more clear energy. Ordinary souls can stay here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figures on the four city walls attacked at the same time.
When he focused, he saw that the four Yama Lords were leading fourteen to fifteen judges. At that moment, they attacked together and set up the Ghost Gate in four directions!
The Ghost Gate opened, and a cold wind swept!
In the blink of an eye, the entire ruined city was filled with phantoms. Half of these phantoms lowered their heads and fell into a deep slumber, while the other half looked around helplessly.
The specialty of the Netherworld, male and female vengeful spirits!
The four Yama Lords and the judges immediately cast spells. In an instant, a cold wind blew again and countless souls were retracted into the Ghost Gate.
Then …
The four Yama Lords carried the Ghost Gate and turned around to run. They immediately entered 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 spoke almost at the same time.
"How could that be!"
"That's impossible!"
"Using endless vengeful souls to exhaust the Sea Serpent Qi?"
"Brilliant."
The Nether River Patriarch's ferocious expression 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 belong to me."
The Nether River Patriarch was so angry that he laughed. "Hahahaha! Dream on! "
"Do you think I'm trustworthy? How irritating. "
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 face."
"Brat, you think you can do that?!"
The Nether River Patriarch's eyes were filled with madness. The Primordial Massacre Sword was sheathed beside him, and his hands formed complicated seals. Dazzling sanguine light burst out from his body.
The twelfth-grade red lotus' petals trembled slightly, and layers of strange Dao runes appeared.
"Blood God Restoration!"
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 resounded with the chanting of sutras.
At the periphery of the city, the experts of the Asura race, who were fighting more and more experts from the Dao Sect, had their eyes glowing red. Those below the Gold God realm had their eyes glowing red.
In the sea of blood, the densely packed Asuras surged towards the pillar of light with all their might like crazy demons!
In the city, beside the abandoned hall.
Iron Fan's eyes began to flicker with red light. However, a spirit pill in her stomach melted quietly, allowing her eyes to quickly regain clarity.
At the same time, Iron Fan seemed to hear shouts coming from above her head …
"The shouts are very anxious, as if they are the last cries before they 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, Iron Fan, knelt there and kept kowtowing.
She shouted with a trembling voice, "Iron Fan is willing to offer my essence soul and Dao body. Please let my clansmen go. Please spare my clansmen's lives!
Please, I beg you! Everyone just wants to live … "
"Bastard!"
Patriarch Nether River was furious. He grabbed Iron Fan with his left hand, and the silver-haired girl was pulled over by him. He pressed his forehead, and wisps of Primordial Energy quickly left Iron Fan's Dao body and were absorbed by Patriarch Nether River!
The Nether River Patriarch cursed. "You are all created by me, endowed by me, and given to you by me!
Now, I'm just taking it back! "
Iron Fan's red eyes were filled with despair. She felt her Primordial Energy being sucked out. Her body trembled, but she did not struggle.
Seeing that, Li Changshou said calmly, "Fellow Nether River, I advise you not to hurt her.
"Fellow Minghe, I advise you not to hurt her. Otherwise, you won't have any chance of survival today."
Patriarch Nether River's eyes were filled with ferocity, but he hesitated and temporarily stopped absorbing Iron Fan's Primordial Energy.
At some point in time, the rhythm of the battlefield had been completely controlled by the Water God incarnation, who was only at the Gold God realm.
As such, the Nether River Patriarch and the four shadows were all listening with rapt attention when he spoke …
Just the fact that the vengeful spirits had broken through the Sea Serpent Qi shocked them.
Li Changshou said calmly, "Actually, Fellow Daoist Nether River and the four Fellow Daoists have made a lot of mistakes.
Firstly, the Primordial World is no longer the ancient times. Now, the Heavenly Dao is establishing order. If you want to take advantage of this Great Tribulation to revive the Nether River, you are 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. It was to divert everyone's attention so that the four Yama Lords would have a chance to release the vengeful spirits and break the miasma.
When they appeared, did everyone forget to attack and only care about being surprised?
Hahaha!
There's also the third and fourth thing … How about the third thing first? "
Li Changshou paused.
Patriarch Nether River and the four black shadows held their breaths. They were about to tear his paper effigy apart.
Li Changshou smiled and said warmly, "At this moment, I'm indeed stalling for time."
Swoosh!
Before he finished speaking, a beam of golden light flashed past 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!
It was just an instant!
Patriarch Nether River's left hand was severed, and the 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 ten thousand feet away and protected the iron fan behind its back. Then, it used its immortal power to stuff a few Spirit Pills into the iron fan's mouth.
Then, the Golden-Winged Roc looked at the black shadow holding the God-Slaying Spear. Its long and narrow eyes were filled with anger.
Patriarch Nether River squinted. At that moment, he was not shocked or angry. Instead, he looked puzzled. His severed left hand slowly condensed.
Rays of starlight scattered, making Patriarch Nether River look somewhat holy. He asked curiously, "Why did 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 current situation? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changshou's paper effigy turned around. Outside the hall, the green ox, Perfected Taiyi, and Qiongxiao Fairy arrived at the same time.
Dozens of figures soared into the sky outside the city!
Chi Jingzi of Chan School, Perfected Huang Long, Yun Zhongzi, Ju Liusun, Great Daoist Master Numinous Treasure …
Seven of the twelve Gold Gods had arrived. Four of the Ford Gold God had arrived!
The Great Black Clouds Immortal of Jie School, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, the Golden Hooped Immortal, the Heavenly Lord Qin, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, the Goddess of Golden Light, and Heavenly Lord Zhao …
More than twenty experts from the various Immortal Islands had arrived. Outside, there were hundreds of immortals from Jie School setting up an array!
Waves of pressure descended upon the ruins of this grand hall!
Li Changshou's paper effigy stood with a smile. At that moment, he looked like an old immortal with white eyebrows and white hair. He looked even more elegant.
Without any warning, the four black shadows hiding in the corner of the hall suddenly turned around and rushed forward. They smashed through a few corners and fled towards the place where the immortals from the Dao Sect had yet to surround them!
He had already made a choice in the shortest time possible and immediately withdrew from the matter.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
As soon as the four black shadows moved, the Golden-Winged Roc and the surrounding experts immediately chased after them and started a huge battle at the bottom of the sea of blood!
Immortals from the Dao Sect appeared in various directions and set up an inescapable net …
Li Changshou did not even look at the surroundings. He only looked at Patriarch Nether River, who was extremely calm, and the lonely iron fan in the distance.
A wisp of spiritual will landed on Iron Fan.
Patriarch Nether River asked calmly, "What's the fourth thing?"
Li Changshou asked, "Fellow Daoist, in your opinion, I spent 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 only here for the red lotus." Patriarch Nether River smiled coldly. "I'll say it here. The red lotus and I have already fused into one. 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's hilarious."
"You!"
Patriarch Nether River's eyes focused.
"Me?
If you don't hurt the souls of those humans, I will naturally respect you as a senior expert.
Since you've already reached this stage, I can tell you clearly today.
I put in a lot of effort to get rid of the Sea Serpent Qi around me so that I can save the princess of the Asura Clan, Iron Fan, who is also your daughter in name.
The reason I told you so much before was not for you to hear, but for your daughter to hear.
I'm sorry, you're in my plan today …
It's not important. "
Li Changshou slowly retreated. A wisp of blue Dao runes floated under his feet and completely enveloped the hall.
His main body's eyes were filled with divine light. The paper effigy in the hall took out a Dharma artifact ball of light from his sleeve and took out a familiar soul.
Mystical ability: Balance of All Things
Patriarch Nether River's eyes suddenly widened, and his aura suddenly decreased by nearly half.
The scholar's soul suddenly shone with a resplendent light 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 tremble 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 because I wanted her to be closer to you and see your true face.
She has a blind respect for you and feels that the meaning of her life is to live for you.
That is not beneficial for her future.
Therefore, I set up all of this. I even spent a lot of effort to cast such a mystical ability on you.
I did so much work just because I wanted to help a senior brother of Ren School tell her a principle that everyone else understands … "
Pfft!
A sharp numinous treasure blade pierced through Patriarch Nether River's back and pierced through his chest, stabbing one of the lotus petals of the twelfth-grade red lotus.
Patriarch Nether River frowned and turned his head with some effort.
At that moment, he was just a phantom. He would not be injured, but the shock and anger in his eyes could not be faked.
A young girl with long silver-white hair was maintaining a diving posture with her head lowered. Her left hand was holding the hilt of her sword, and her right hand was pressing on the end of the hilt. There was 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 sat there with a listless look in her eyes, allowing the medicinal power of the Spirit Pill to spread in her body.
A voice entered her ears, and a shadow seemed to appear around her. This shadow was slowly pacing around and whispering something.
"Don't you understand?
That's the ancestor you yearn for. Is your life to become his nourishment?
Even if you're willing, look at your clansmen …
They did not have any chance to resist. They could only accept this outcome. They lost their minds and surged here. They did not even leave their True Spirits behind. They could only beg at the last moment.
Iron Fan, is it really enough to sacrifice yourself? "
"What … What can I do …"
A wisp of Yin-Yang Dao runes circulated, and a long sword landed in front of Iron Fan. It was covered in rust.
"Life has always been in your hands.
Living beings like you will not be able to control themselves once you are controlled by mystical abilities. The only freedom you have 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 own choice."
Iron Fan looked up and saw Patriarch Nether River's sanguine back. Her body trembled a few times before she lowered her head.
With a soft sigh, the shadow around her gradually walked away. What followed was the shouts of the clansmen before they disappeared.
The only freedom was to choose life or death …
I want to save them. I want to save them …
Iron Fan did not know where she got the strength from. She kept moving forward, and her footsteps gradually became faster. She did not notice the few 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!
Patriarch, the clansmen should not die like this. At least ask them if they are willing to sacrifice themselves!
The back appeared in front of her, and the rusty sword in her hand …
Patriarch …
Life …
"I don't want to die!"
Pfft!
Iron Fan panted heavily. Her breathing was messy.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the side of Patriarch Nether River's face. There was no anger or hatred in his red eyes. There was only sorrow that could not be dispersed. Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
"Patriarch, that … that's not our fate …"
"How dare you betray me!"
Sanguine light surged around Patriarch Nether River. The iron fan was sent flying, but his body was protected by the Mysterious Yellow aura.
The green ox hurriedly rushed forward and caught the iron fan before landing at the side.
Li Changshou sighed softly when he saw that. The paper effigy turned into ashes. Immortal light flew over and surrounded the red lotus and Patriarch Nether River …
Beside the city wall, where the eight experts of the Dao Sect had entered the dream, Li Changshou retracted his Dao runes and yawned tiredly.
He stood up and carefully walked to Yun Xiao's side. He sat down and sighed slowly.
Patriarch Nether River was the true ruthless person of the Primordial World.
"Changshou …"
Li Changshou was shocked when he heard the fairy's ravings. He leaned closer and listened carefully.
"Kneel."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Hmph, dream on.
