It was him!

Hu Le recognized the person and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This person was clearly one of the two Taiyi Golden Immortals who had escaped during the battle on Penglai Immortal Island.

It must be said that Master Zhunti is indeed remarkable; he actually managed to find this person.

Although he has become a wanted fugitive by the Heavenly Court, he is still a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and can be considered a master in the prehistoric world.

If the Daoist Zhunti can subdue him, the Western Mount Sumeru lineage will surely gain another great general...

The newcomer clearly recognized the two of them. He was taken aback at first, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.

He ignored the junior Hu Le, stepped forward, and bowed to the Daoist Zhunti, saying, "Who is it? It's Venerable Zhunti. I am Wulongzi, and I greet you."

"Oh? You actually recognize me?" Zhunti Daoist brushed himself with a branch and asked with a smile.

"With your esteemed reputation throughout the primordial world, how could I not recognize you? What I do not understand is, why do you come here instead of seeking blessings in the West?"

As Wulongzi spoke, he glanced at the island that had been forcibly removed in the distance, feeling somewhat uneasy. Judging from Zhunti's previous actions, it was clear that the visitor was not friendly!

Even so, what could he do?

Faced with a powerful being like Daoist Zhunti, would he dare to turn against him?

After all, he had already offended the Heavenly Court. If he were to provoke the Western faction as well, there would probably be no place for him to hide in the vast primordial world...

“Hehe... Fellow Daoist Wulongzi, you don’t need to worry. I came here this time not for anything else, but because I learned that you are in a bad situation and came here to help you.

"Ah! Forgive my ignorance, but I do not understand what you are saying, Venerable One. Please explain further."

"Hmm, that's easy." Hu Le chuckled softly from the side. "The senior disciple has taken a liking to your talent and good qualities, and is willing to bestow upon you a great destiny. Therefore, he has traveled thousands of miles to invite you to the West to study the wondrous Dharma together."

Fellow Daoist, why don't you quickly agree? After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, there won't be another chance like this."

With Hu Le chiming in, Daoist Zhunti enjoyed his leisure time, simply holding the Seven Treasures Tree and watching with a smile.

"You brat! What business is it of yours that I'm speaking with Venerable Cundi? You have no right to speak!"

As a descendant of the former Penglai Immortal Island lineage, he could be said to hate Taiyi to the core, and naturally he wouldn't give Taiyi's disciples a friendly look.

Hu Le wasn't annoyed. He turned to Zhunti Daoist with a smile and said, "Senior, you see, this Wulongzi Daoist doesn't seem willing to give you face."

"It's alright. This fellow Daoist is probably already deeply confused and hasn't figured it out yet." Daoist Zhunti still smiled and glanced at Wulongzi. "Fellow Daoist, young friend Hu Le was just thinking of you. Why did you speak ill of him?"

I am aware of the grudges between you, but as the saying goes, it is better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Now I will act as a peacemaker for you.

"Please, for my sake, you two shake hands and make peace, and let bygones be bygones."

“Senior Zhunti’s words are very good, and I have no objection.” Hu Le immediately smiled. Anyway, he had nothing to lose, so he agreed. After all, Zhunti Daoist had taught him everything he knew when he asked for his advice, so he had to repay him in some way.

"You...you've gone too far!"

Even though Wulongzi usually had a good temper, he was still angered by the two of them talking back and forth.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Zhunti's face darkened. "What? Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps unwilling to give me this face?"

"So what if you are? You're just a rogue cultivator from the West. Instead of staying in the West and cultivating honestly, you dare to act arrogantly in my East Sea. Do you think you're so powerful that there's no one left in the East?"

Although he knew of the reputation of Daoist Zhunti, he had never seen Zhunti make a move in person and did not know how powerful he was.

"Enough! You're just a shrewd and armored creature who doesn't understand fate. If I don't show you the wonders of my Western Great Law, you'll probably still be dissatisfied."

The Taoist Zhunti immediately recognized Wulongzi's true form; he was clearly a black dragon who had attained enlightenment.

As he spoke, he raised the Seven Treasures Tree and gently brushed it towards Wulongzi.

Wulongzi felt a sudden tightness all over his body, and his whole body spun around involuntarily like a spinning top.

The next moment, after barely managing to regain his balance, he saw that Daoist Zhunti had thrown the branch in his hand, which landed on Wulongzi's back.

He suddenly felt as if a mountain had been pressed down on his back. He groaned, his legs went weak, and he couldn't help but kneel down in front of the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist! Are you willing to take refuge in me?"

Master Zhunti walked up to Wulongzi and asked with a smile.

Wulongzi smiled bitterly: "Take refuge? Forget it. Rather than be used as ashes by the Venerable in the future, I would rather ask the Venerable to give me a quick death today."

"In the end, they are just stubborn and incorrigible!"

Zhunti Daoist shook his head and sighed, then gently tapped Wulongzi's skull and softly called out, "Fellow Daoist, please reveal your true form!"

"Aww!"

Wulongzi roared to the sky, and with a flash of dark light, he instantly transformed into a thousand-foot-long black dragon, rolling endlessly in the waves and stirring up turmoil in the vast sea.

The Taoist Zhunti untied the silk sash from his waist, tossed it with his hand, and one end was already tied to the black dragon's reverse scale. With a gentle shake, the black dragon felt numb all over his body, his strength vanished, and his rolling body stopped.

"Do you submit now or not?"

The Taoist Zhunti walked up to the dragon's head and asked with a smile.

"this……"

Wulongzi hesitated.

Immediately, the Taoist Zhunti silently chanted an incantation and tightened the silk ribbon binding the black dragon's reverse scale.

"Ah! Ah! Ah... Spare me! I surrender! Please, Venerable One, withdraw your supernatural powers!"

Wulongzi immediately felt pain and screamed for a long time before finally being unable to hold on any longer and begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Hu Le chuckled inwardly: What a spineless coward! He was so tough before, but now he's begging for mercy so quickly...

Zhunti Daoist was not bothered by it, nor was he afraid that Wulongzi would go back on his word. With a change of mind, he took back the Seven Treasures Tree and the silk ribbon-shaped spiritual treasure.

Wulongzi was quite pragmatic. After escaping, he did not take the opportunity to flee. With a flick of his massive dragon body, he transformed back into human form and stood obediently behind Zhunti Daoist.

"Congratulations on your wish coming true, senior."

Hu Le approached the Daoist Zhunti and offered his congratulations with a smile.

Zhunti Daoist nodded slightly: "Now that Fellow Daoist Wulongzi has converted to my Western Sect, I hope you can pass on a message to your master, asking him to spare the Heavenly Court any further trouble for him, for my sake."

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely convey your instructions to you."

Hu Le readily agreed, it was just a matter of a word.

"Thank you for your trouble, young friend."

Zhunti Daoist said something polite, then turned and left, and Wulongzi hurriedly followed.

Hu Le also walked out of the sea and watched Zhunti Daoist leave. He took out a communication jade talisman, engraved Zhunti Daoist's instructions into it, and casually tossed it. The jade talisman immediately flew towards Penglai Immortal Island.

Because the place he was in was too far from the Heavenly Court, his current magical power was not enough to send the jade talisman there.

For now, it can only be temporarily sent to Penglai Immortal Island as a transit point, and the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures will order someone to personally deliver the jade talisman to the Taiyi Palace of the Heavenly Court...
