Nezha was born brave and might be invincible in subduing demons, but how could he possibly be a match for a powerful being like a sage?

As the Fire-Tipped Spear came hurtling towards him, Guan Kong simply extended a finger as clear and translucent as white jade and placed it firmly against the tip of the spear.

With a loud "bang," the incredibly hard Fire-Tipped Spear instantly shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

Nezha, unable to withstand the immense force of the impact, was violently thrown into the air, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

However, before he even landed, he had completely lost all life and breath.

During the last Investiture of the Gods battle, he was able to successfully become a god thanks to the protection of a saint, but he was not so lucky this time.

When his body finally fell to the ground, only a faint trace of his true spirit remained, quietly disappearing into the underworld and entering the cycle of reincarnation.

However, Guan Kong could see very clearly that since Nezha ascended to the Heavenly Court, he had been dedicated to subduing demons and monsters for millions of years, and had accumulated some merit.

These merits may become a turning point for him in the future. After several reincarnations, and after washing away the karmic afflictions, he may have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation again.

Seeing his disciple die on the spot, Taiyi Zhenren's face grew even more sorrowful.

"My disciple! Your master will go with you now!"

Taiyi Zhenren let out a wail in his heart, and without hesitation, he raised his sword and lunged at Guan Kong.

Guan Kong looked at Taiyi Zhenren indifferently, his face showing no change in expression.

Once upon a time, they shared a deep friendship, but now, it's all just a thing of the past.

Taiyi Zhenren's fate has come to an end, and Guan Kong, as the leader of the sect and a saint, naturally has to follow the will of Heaven and will not show him any mercy.

All she could do was send Taiyi Zhenren to the list, fulfilling the mission bestowed upon her by Heaven.

Just then, Taiyi Zhenren thrust his sword at Guankong, but Guankong simply flicked his whisk and shattered the sword.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Kong swung his whisk again, this time striking Taiyi Zhenren directly in the chest.

With a deafening roar, a powerful burst of Heavenly Dao energy erupted from the whisk, instantly blasting Taiyi Zhenren away.

He fell heavily to the ground, his body convulsed violently a few times, and then he remained motionless.

After Taiyi Zhenren's death, his true spirit naturally flew to the Investiture Platform.

After witnessing Taiyi Zhenren's tragic death on the spot, both Yuding Zhenren and Qingxu were determined to fight to the death.

Master Yu Ding transmitted his voice to his disciple Yang Jian behind him, saying, "Disciple, I will do my best to hold off this sage in a moment. You should take this opportunity to escape quickly."

Hearing this, Yang Jian was filled with resentment and replied, "But... teacher..."

Master Yuding suddenly shouted, "Stop talking! If you still consider me your teacher, do as I say."

After saying this, Master Yuding rushed towards Guankong together with Qingxu.

Yang Jian turned around without hesitation, transformed into a streak of light, and flew straight towards the horizon.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chan from the Taoist side stepped forward and shouted, "I'll go after him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she transformed into a beam of light and chased after Yang Jian.

Everyone shook their heads, speechless.

After all, everyone knows that Yang Chan and Yang Jian are siblings. Her pursuit of Yang Jian was bound to have an unpredictable outcome...

As the immortals watched Yang Chan and her brother disappear into the horizon, two screams suddenly rang in their ears. The immortals quickly regained their senses and looked towards the scene.

At this moment, Jade Cauldron Immortal and Qingxu had already fallen at Guankong's feet.

The immortals were not surprised by this.

Even if the two of them joined forces, how could they possibly be a match for the Primordial Saint!

Guan Kong dealt with Yu Ding and Qing Xu, sending them to the Investiture of the Gods list, and then glanced at the opposite side.

They discovered that many disciples of the Chan Sect were still looking terrified, some even trembling.

She was too lazy to kill them all one by one, so she simply took out a Primordial Creation Cauldron.

This item is a supreme innate treasure. Having achieved the Hunyuan state, it can now unleash even more wondrous uses.

In an instant, the world changed color, and an immense suction force erupted from within the cauldron.

All the disciples of the Chan Sect were involuntarily thrown into the cauldron.

"No--"

"Help me!"

"Master, save me!"

"Holy Lord, spare my life!"

A series of piercing cries rang out, but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, all the immortals had been captured by the Creation Cauldron.

Despite the immortals' pleas for mercy, Guan Kong seemed to ignore them completely, silently activating the restrictions within the cauldron.

In just a moment, the screams stopped abruptly.

All the immortals and gods of the Chan Sect, including Jiang Ziya, Long Xuhu, and Bai Jian, turned to ashes and vanished without a trace in the cauldron.

Of course, Guan Kong did not completely annihilate them.

Instead, they released their true spirits.

Those with strong potential flew directly to the Conferred God Platform; while those with weaker potential went to the Netherworld for reincarnation.

...

Meanwhile, not far from Bianliang City, Yang Chan finally caught up with Yang Jian.

The brother and sister were reunited here, and both were filled with emotion.

At this moment, these two siblings, who were once inseparable by blood, are now facing each other in life and death due to their different lineages.

How tragic this is!

"Little sister! Are you here to take my life?"

The two siblings exchanged a glance, and Yang Jian asked with a somewhat bitter expression.

He was quite despondent.

If it were someone else chasing him, he might have fought them to the death.

But now it's his only sister who's catching up, how could he bear to hurt her?

Therefore, he made up his mind that if a fight really broke out, he would simply sacrifice his own life to fulfill his younger sister's wish...

Yang Chan rolled her eyes and said reproachfully, "What are you saying, brother? I'm just here to see you off. How could I possibly fight with you?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian felt relieved, but then asked with some worry, "But if you let me go, how will you explain this to your superiors when you return?"

Yang Chan said dismissively, "It's alright. My teacher dotes on me, so why would he blame me for such a trivial matter?"

Yang Jian nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The two siblings then flew side by side in the clouds.

Yang Chan saw her brother off for thousands of miles before bidding him farewell and turning back...

Yang Jian watched his sister return, and only after her figure disappeared into the depths of the white clouds did he turn his gaze away.

Then he fell into deep thought amidst the clouds, wondering where to go next?

He didn't want to go back to his own dojo for the time being, nor did he want to go to his teacher's Jade Spring Mountain.

As he pondered, a sudden chill ran through him, as if he had sensed something, and he turned to look westward...
