Chapter 963: Treasure Pagoda
Whoosh whoosh.
A bolt of lightning and a streak of fire shot through the sky, leaving behind two faint traces. Behind these two beams of light, countless auspicious clouds followed closely behind.
"Uncle Thunder, what did you mean just now? Why didn't I understand?"
Little Nezha blinked his large eyes as he stood on his wind and fire wheels. If any of the Heavenly Court's royal sisters saw his adorable appearance, they'd definitely spoil him.
"You said my father was in danger? Why would he be in danger? If the Underworld is in trouble, shouldn't we go help? "
"If the Underworld is in trouble, we should indeed help, but the problem is that we're in trouble as well."
Thunder God's surroundings crackled with lightning. He'd already pushed his spiritual energy to the limit and rushed towards Heavenly King Li as quickly as he could.
The Underworld was in trouble.
There was no need to think too much about the details of the sudden change at this time.
It was already the appointed time, but no one from the Immortal Region had arrived yet. It was very likely that the Immortal Region's situation was similar to the Underworld's.
Why was Heavenly King Li in trouble?
If he remembered correctly, the Count of Wind and Master of Rain had once been Chiyou's old friend.
If everything was as he thought, then the Count of Wind and Master of Rain were definitely working for the demons. Back then, he and Nezha were both present. Their military strength was greater than theirs, which was why the Count of Wind and Master of Rain hadn't dared show up.
That was why he'd purposefully provoked him into leaving......
"I actually fell for that old bastard's trap."
Thunder God couldn't help but clench his fists. Without another word, he shot forward with all his might.
Ding.
The Treasure Pagoda collided with the Count of Wind's flexible sword and flew back into Heavenly King Li's hand.
"Hah......"
His chest heaved violently. His battle robes were already torn in many places.
He clutched his chest and gasped for breath. The veins on his neck and forehead were all bulging. There was a golden silk rope tied around his right wrist, and there was a black line extending towards his chest from his wrist.
"You traitors!"
Eyes bloodshot, Heavenly King Li half-knelt on the ground. He formed a seal with his right hand and tossed the Treasure Pagoda high into the air.
Up in the sky, Heavenly King Li's Treasure Pagoda instantly grew to a height of three hundred meters. Its pitch-black base faced the nearby Count of Wind and Master of Rain.
"Return."
Devour the heavens and devour the earth.
The enormous devouring force uprooted the rocks and ancient trees on the ground and sucked them into the tower. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were also sucked into the tower.
However, even under this devouring power, the Count of Wind and Master of Rain remained unmoved.
"How …"
Heavenly King Li was stunned. His Linglong Treasure Pagoda could suppress all kinds of demons and immortals. From peak-stage Immortal Kings to early-stage Body Refinement Realm cultivators, no one could escape his pagoda's suppression.
The Count of Wind and Master of Rain stood at the bottom of the tower, but there were no signs of them being swallowed.
Pu.
Heavenly King Li spat out a mouthful of blood. The black line on his arm struggled free of the golden line's restraints and burrowed into his chest.
"Heavenly King Li, I warned you long ago that you can't use your immortal spiritual energy recklessly. The more you use it, the closer you are to death. "
The Count of Feng rubbed his chin with his skinny hand and chuckled. His expression was filled with playfulness.
When Heavenly King Li's gaze fell on his arm, he no longer hesitated.
An immortal sword suddenly appeared in his left hand. Then, he raised it and ruthlessly chopped down on his right arm.
Sizzle.
Blood sprayed wildly.
Blood continuously flowed out of the wound on his shoulder. Heavenly King Li hurriedly sealed the acupoints on his shoulder.
The Count of Wind and Master of Rain were stunned. They hadn't expected Heavenly King Li to be so resolute.
Severed arm.
After all, the price of reconstructing an immortal's body was extremely high. Moreover, it was the body of immortals who were widely sought after.
"Ol 'Li, why must you do this?"
The Count of Wind's eyes were filled with disappointment, as well as some admiration. To tell the truth, if it were him, he really wouldn't have Heavenly King Li's courage.
In truth, their goal was simple: to keep Heavenly King Li busy.
Right now, the Heavenly Court's internal defenses were weak. All of their main forces had been sent out to fight the demons. Only the Canopy Marshal and the Curtain Lifting Great General remained to guard the Heavenly Court. The others were just small fries, nothing to worry about.
They were also using this opportunity to deal with the remaining people in the Heavenly Court.
As for the Count of Wind and Master of Rain, they'd only come to keep Heavenly King Li busy for a moment. That was why he'd poisoned Heavenly King Li when he wasn't paying attention.
The poison's effects were simple. As long as he didn't use any spiritual energy, he'd be fine. However, if he used too much spiritual energy, it would spread from the area between his thumb and forefinger to his heart.
As long as he could reach his heart, he'd definitely die.
The poison seemed powerful, but as long as Heavenly King Li didn't move, he'd be fine.
They'd never thought about fighting Heavenly King Li. They just wanted to keep him here for a bit longer.
They never expected him to be so stubborn.
"Why bother?"
One-armed Heavenly King Li reached out with his left hand, and the Exquisite Pagoda returned to his palm.
He stared intently at the Count of Wind and Master of Rain and snorted.
"Why did you betray the Heavenly Court and join the demons? The Jade Emperor was benevolent all those years ago. He bestowed upon you the positions of immortals, and treated you well. Yet now you want to rebel? "
"Ol 'Li, we had no choice," the Count of Wind sighed. "I know we're letting down the Jade Emperor, the Exalted God, but we really had no choice. A wise man submits to circumstances. The demons are powerful now. Are we really going to fight them like a mantis trying to stop a chariot? "
"Submits to circumstances, huh?" Heavenly King Li sneered disdainfully. "But why can't I see how powerful they are? Their current accomplishments are all thanks to cowards like you."
"Ol 'Li, you don't understand at all."
The Count of Wind's weather-beaten face was solemn. He looked up into the sky, as if trying to see through everything.
"Have you ever wondered why the Immortal Region and the Underworld didn't keep their word?"
"You ….."
Heavenly King Li's entire body shook. Even the hand holding the Exquisite Pagoda trembled.
"I never would have guessed that the demons would have such tricks up their sleeves. It seems like you have been plotting this for a long time to plant people in our three Holy Lands. Many of the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Generals died because of you, right? "
"It was me," said the Count of Wind. "We've been plotting this for a long time, but think about it ….. How could the demons alone have the ability to stir up so much trouble for all three factions? Just them? Can they do it? "
"Hmph, that's your problem. What does it have to do with me? I don't know what they're capable of. Are you trying to tell me that there's someone even more powerful backing the demons? The Human Gods? The Demon Gods? The Yao Gods? You're not going to tell me that the Primordial Shamans are supporting them, are you? "
"What if I say yes?"
The Count of Wind replied with a straight face. His tone instantly stunned Heavenly King Li, but he quickly composed himself and snorted.
"Even if that's the case, I will definitely punish the traitors."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Exquisite Pagoda in Heavenly King Li's hand began to tremble violently.
