"You dare to capture Tathagata's disciple? Let's see how you're going to deal with this!"
The Nether River Patriarch jumped out of the circle and put away his longsword.
To Minghe, Zhenyuanzi had clearly lost his mind. Demi-Saints were very powerful and could dominate a region. But that also depended on who they were compared to!
Demi-Saints were naturally the most powerful beneath Saints. But no matter how powerful a Demi-Saint was, they would not dare to provoke a Saint!
Zhenyuanzi must have gone mad to capture Tathagata's disciple!
The Nether River Patriarch had no confidence in fighting a lunatic.
"Eh? Wait! "
The Nether River Patriarch suddenly remembered the rumor of Hongyun's successor at the Two Worlds Pass. Could it be …
"Golden Cicada is Hongyun's successor?"
The Nether River Patriarch came to a realization. No wonder Zhenyuanzi was so crazy. No wonder he dared to capture a Saint's disciple. So that was what was going on?
Tathagata was also scheming. He had taken Hongyun's successor as his disciple because he wanted the Primordial Violet Vapor.
The Primordial Violet Vapor was the foundation of becoming a Saint. Saints did not need it. But if he had another Saint under his wing, he would have the upper hand. One had to know that Saints had disputes too.
The Primeval World was not big, but it was not small either. The eight Saints were equally powerful and restrained each other. If one sect had two Saints, they would have the upper hand.
At that moment, the Nether River Patriarch's imagination completed and figured out the truth.
But … why did Zhenyuanzi capture Great Sorrow? What was he up to?
Great Sorrow was Minghe's disciple, and Minghe knew him like the back of his hand. Naturally, he did not think that Great Sorrow had anything to do with Hongyun's successor.
"No matter what you're up to, I won't interfere. Hehe, you've already provoked Tathagata. Let's see how you're going to deal with this. "
Minghe sneered and retreated. He did not plan to attack.
"Humph!"
Zhenyuanzi breathed a sigh of relief when Minghe stopped attacking. He snorted and turned to leave.
Capturing Great Compassion Fiend Lord was nothing, but capturing Golden Cicada still put a lot of pressure on Zhenyuanzi.
He did not know that he had captured Golden Cicada, but now that he knew that Golden Cicada was Tathagata's disciple, Zhenyuanzi was naturally nervous.
Zhenyuanzi thought of the same thing as Minghe. He knew that there was no way he could detain Golden Cicada. Once Tathagata made his move, there was no way he could keep Golden Cicada.
"Tathagata, you actually schemed so deeply? How can I let you do as you wish? "
In Zhenyuanzi's opinion, Golden Cicada was definitely not the successor of Hongyun. After all, how could Hongyun's inheritance compare to the true inheritance of a Saint? Golden Cicada would never choose Hongyun's cultivation method.
Since the Golden Cicada Master could sense the secret technique, he could only be the reincarnation of Hongyun.
If I can't keep the Golden Cicada Master, I'll have to hand him over, but … I have to let the Golden Cicada Master know my true identity.
Thinking of this, Zhenyuanzi gritted his teeth and pressed a finger on the Earth Book. A stream of Rosy Clouds Genuine Qi whizzed out and rushed into Golden Cicada's mind.
"Golden Cicada, you are the reincarnation of my brother, Hongyun. You must remember your origins. Tathagata definitely did not have good intentions when he accepted you as his disciple. You must be careful. Think of a way to find an opportunity to defect! "
Zhenyuanzi cast a spell and released a stream of Innate Red Cloud Genuine Qi, trying to awaken Golden Cicada's Red Cloud Genuine Spirit.
Then …
"Amitabha!"
After casting the spell, Zhenyuanzi felt as if a gate had been opened. Boundless Buddhist light poured out like a river.
"Ah … My Cicada Shedding and Nirvana Samsara technique has been broken! Master, save me! "
Golden Cicada Master felt as if his mind had exploded. The Buddhist light that filled the sky surged like a river bursting its banks. Feeling as if he was about to explode, he hurriedly cried for help.
Cicada Shedding and Nirvana Samsara. After ten lives of reincarnation, the Golden Cicada Master would be able to break through and become a Buddha.
But now, Zhenyuanzi had broken through his tenth life when he'd just ascended to the Golden Immortal realm.
The Buddhist cultivation that he'd accumulated in his previous nine lives exploded in an instant. The Golden Cicada Master would soon explode from his own cultivation.
"Merciful Buddha!"
A Buddhist chant burst out in the void, and the mighty Buddhist light covered the sky and earth.
Amidst the brilliant Buddhist light, a Buddhist palm that seemed to be made of gold descended from the sky, blocking out the sun.
"Hahahaha! Tathagata has made his move! Hahahaha! You're courting death, Zhenyuanzi! "
The Nether River Patriarch was rolling around in laughter at the sight, unable to catch his breath.
"You're vicious, Tathagata!"
From Zhenyuanzi's point of view, this was Tathagata's revenge on him for awakening the true spirit of Hongyun's reincarnation.
"Boom!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhenyuanzi unleashed all his strength to block the Buddhist palm descending from the sky.
Even so, the Golden Cicada Master was about to explode from the burst of Buddhist power. Tathagata didn't have the time to tangle with Zhenyuanzi, nor did he have the time to explain.
Moreover, why would Saints need to explain their actions?
There was a loud rumble as vast and boundless power violently erupted.
The dazzling golden Buddhist palm destroyed Zhenyuanzi's attack with a single strike, breaking through the void and reaching into the Earth Scroll to grab the Golden Cicada Master. Buddhist light flashed, suppressing the Golden Cicada Master's raging cultivation.
"What a pity … my last reincarnation is broken just like that."
Having escaped death, the Golden Cicada Master felt the cultivation in his body. Face full of sorrow, he put his palms together and sighed wordlessly.
"Tathagata, you …"
Seeing that Hongyun's reincarnation had fallen into Tathagata's demonic hands again, Zhenyuanzi's heart was filled with hatred.
It was a pity that Tathagata had annihilated Ye Futian's attack with a single blow. Even if Tathagata was merciful and didn't kill, Zhenyuanzi was still severely injured and vomited blood after being hit by the aftershock.
"Buddha is merciful."
With a Buddhist chant, the dazzling golden Buddhist palm grabbed the Golden Cicada Master and tore through the air, disappearing instantly.
"Hahahaha! Zhenyuanzi, it's time to settle our score! "
The Nether River Patriarch was very relaxed after beating a drowning dog. He swung his two swords and slashed at the heavily injured Zhenyuanzi.
"How dare you take advantage of my weakness, Nether River!"
Zhenyuanzi was so angry that he vomited blood, but could only block with all his might.
Another great battle ensued. The heavily injured Zhenyuanzi was having a hard time holding on.
"I'll return your disciple to you!"
Zhenyuanzi wasn't an indecisive person. He knew that he couldn't continue fighting in his current state, so he might as well leave the Demon Lord Great Compassion and ensure his own safety first.
However, Nether River wasn't an easy person to deal with. If Zhenyuanzi wanted to escape, he would have to shed a layer of skin.
A day later.
With a boom, on a cliff ten thousand li to the north of the Two Realms Pass, a figure fell from the sky and heavily smashed into the cliff, directly collapsing it.
"What the hell! What's going on? "
A streak of sword light shot out, as straight and unyielding as a pine tree. The sword light blasted away the rubble, and a young man in green rose on his sword.
"Huh? You … "
The young man in green looked at a man in Daoist robes who had fallen to the ground, and then turned to look at the collapsed cliff. "My cave abode … was destroyed by you?"
"Cough, cough! Sorry! "
Zhenyuanzi was covered in dust. He coughed and looked at the young man in green apologetically. "I was being chased by a great enemy and fell here while escaping. I'm sorry to have disturbed your cultivation."
"Oh, I see! It's fine, it's fine! "
The young man in green was very simple and kind. He forgave Zhenyuanzi immediately and asked with concern, "Is your injury serious? I have healing elixirs here. I spent a lot of money to exchange for them! "
As he spoke, the young man in green took out a jade bottle and handed it to Zhenyuanzi. "This is the Eternal Creation Elixir, a very good healing elixir. Take it! "
"Eternal Creation Elixir …"
Zhenyuanzi felt the young man's sincerity. He took the elixir and glanced at it. He smiled bitterly in his heart. "If I didn't blow up all the ginseng fruits in order to defeat Nether River, I wouldn't need such an inferior elixir."
He swallowed the elixir. The vitality of the Eternal Creation Elixir helped Zhenyuanzi recover a little. He could use the ginseng fruit tree and the Earth Book now.
"Thank you for the elixir!"
Zhenyuanzi turned over and stood up. He smiled at the young man in green. "May I know your name? I'll repay you generously for giving me the elixir today. "
"I'm Li Yu."
The young man in green had a simple smile on his face. "You don't need to repay me generously. I didn't save you for anything. I'm cultivating merits and doing good deeds. I saved you for one good deed a day. "
"Haha! One good deed a day! "
Zhenyuanzi laughed and had a good impression of this simple young man. He was ready to give him a good opportunity and repay him generously.
If … Zhenyuanzi knew that he was so miserable because of this "simple" young man, he would vomit blood.
