Qiongxiao also shouted, "You old thief Ran Deng, you despicable and shameless scoundrel! Not only did you steal my elder brother's spiritual treasure, but you also try to make excuses here. The truth of the world is clear, how can you cover it up?"
Randeng blushed slightly, but still insisted, "Lingbao has always belonged to the virtuous. Zhao Gongming went against the will of Heaven and committed such immoral acts. In addition, he has already died, so Lingbao naturally does not belong to him."
One sentence enraged the Three Immortals of Sanxiao. It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned Zhao Gongming's death, but the mere mention of it made them furious. Bixiao shouted, "You old thief, you're asking for death!" With that, she took out her flying sword and attacked Randeng, while Qiongxiao also took out her Golden Dragon Scissors and attacked Randeng.
Randeng didn't take Bixiao's attacks too seriously, but he couldn't afford to ignore Qiongxiao's Golden Dragon Scissors. These scissors were forged by Tongtian from the bodies of two evil dragons, possessing immense power and thirty-six layers of restrictions. Without a supreme treasure for protection, they could cut even a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Saint in two. Randeng parried left and right, while Bixiao's constant attacks distracted him. In terms of cultivation, these two women were naturally inferior to him. Bixiao and Qiongxiao's minds were still unsettled, and they were only at the Taiyi True Immortal level, while Randeng was a person who had only recently entered the world, possessing great supernatural powers, and had been stuck at the Quasi-Saint level for many years. Naturally, he was troubled by the lack of powerful treasures. Even taking Zhao Gongming's magic weapon was a last resort, and he hadn't fully refined it yet, so he dared not use it. His only offensive magic weapon, the Qiankun Ruler, had already been taken away by Yunxiao. Naturally, he was in a sorry state facing the attacks of the two women.
However, the difference in cultivation level could not be avoided by magic weapons. The three fought for a long time. Although Randeng was in a sorry state, he was not seriously injured. Although the two women had strong attacks, their magic power was insufficient, and it would be pointless to continue fighting. Yunxiao said, "Randeng, let's talk about today's matter for now. After my sister and I pay our respects to our elder brother, we will fight you again tomorrow." After saying that, he called back the two women, ignored Randeng, and went straight into Wen Zhong's camp.
Randeng didn't dare to pursue them too aggressively, after all, there were so many people watching, and he didn't have any good magic weapons. He decided to just give up, grit his teeth, go back and refine the Yin-Yang Pearl in his hand, and then come back to get revenge on them. After thinking it over, Randeng left without saying goodbye to the other members of the Chan Sect and went back to his cave to refine the magic weapon, thus letting this guy escape a calamity.
After the Three Immortals entered Wen Zhong's camp and met with him, Yunxiao said, "The other day, my brother was invited down from Luofu Cave by the Grand Tutor, but he was unexpectedly shot and killed by Jiang Shang. My sister and I came here to collect my brother's remains. Where are they now? We would be grateful if the Grand Tutor could instruct us."
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Wen wept bitterly, tears streaming down his face. He said, “Since Brother Zhao Gongming descended the mountain, no one in the Chan Sect has been able to stop him. A few days ago, a wild man named Lu Ya came to meet your brother. After a brief battle, Lu Ya transformed into a rainbow and fled. After that, the two did not fight again. Several days ago, Jiang Shang of Xiqi Mountain set up an altar and performed magic to curse your brother, which I foresaw. At that time, your brother had two disciples, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi, who sent him to steal the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. They were killed by Nezha. Before your brother died, he roared, ‘Lu Ya, that traitor, has harmed me!’ And then he breathed his last.” After Grand Tutor Wen finished speaking, he covered his face and wept bitterly.

The Grand Tutor hurriedly got up and led several people to Zhao Gongming's camp. Arriving at the rear camp, the three ladies saw the coffin, opened it, and saw that Gongming's eyes were bleeding and his heart was bleeding. They were furious. Qiongxiao shouted and almost fainted from anger. Bixiao, filled with anger, said, "Sister, don't be anxious. We'll capture him and shoot him three arrows to avenge this grudge!" Yunxiao said, "It has nothing to do with Jiang Shang. It's that savage Lu Ya who used such evil magic! Firstly, it's my brother's fate that's sealed, and secondly, it's the evil magic that's causing this. We'll just capture Lu Ya, shoot him three arrows, and that will end this hatred." Then they saw the "Red Sand Formation." The Grand Tutor, the Heavenly Lord, entered the camp and met the five fairy maidens. The Grand Tutor hosted a banquet and drank several cups with everyone. The next day, the five Daoist maidens left the camp. Hearing that the Grand Tutor was leading the charge, he ordered Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao to guard the front and rear. Yunxiao rode a phoenix to the tent and shouted, "Tell Lu Ya to come and meet me!" Those around him hurriedly reported to the tent, "Five Daoist maidens wish to ask Master Lu a question."
Lu Ya rose and said, "This humble Taoist will go." Sword in hand, his sleeves billowing in the wind as he approached. The Cloud Goddess watched; though Lu Ya was a wild man, he truly possessed the bearing of an immortal. How so! His hair was styled in double buns, like clouds parting in auspicious light; his robe was flowing, tightly bound with silk sashes. His immortal bearing was carefree and unrestrained, his mind filled with boundless mysteries. Lu Ya, a wild man from the four seas, is renowned throughout the Five Sacred Mountains. He has mastered many extraordinary arts, yet he is too lazy to attend the Peach Banquet.
After Lu Ya finished singing, he bowed to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao, filled with resentment and anger, asked, "Are you the wandering monk Lu Ya?"
Lu Ya replied, "Indeed." Qiongxiao asked, "Why did you shoot and kill my brother Zhao Gongming?"
Lu Ya replied, "If you three fellow Daoists are willing to grant me a word, I will speak; if not, do as you please." Yunxiao said, "Speak!" Lu Ya said, "Cultivators all attain enlightenment through reason; how can they rely on going against the grain? Therefore, the righteous become immortals, and the wicked fall. Since the Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, I have witnessed countless instances of rebellion and compliance. Throughout history, those who followed the path of goodness achieved righteousness. Who would have thought that Zhao Gongming would not follow the grain, but instead act against it, assisting a ruler who destroyed order and discipline, and slaughtering innocent people, incurring the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of the people. Moreover, he relies on his own Daoist arts, disregarding the cultivation of others. This shows that he only knows himself and not others, which is defying Heaven. Since ancient times, those who defy Heaven have perished. I am now being sent by Heaven to kill this rebellious person, so why blame me! I observe that you, fellow Daoist, will not stay here for long. This place is a mountain of war and a sea of fire; how can you establish yourself here? If you stay here for a long time, you may lose the path to immortality. I will not disregard my taboos and thus dare to speak out." Yunxiao pondered for a long time without speaking.
Qiongxiao couldn't help but shout, "You wretched creature! How dare you spread such falsehoods to deceive the masses! You shot my brother dead, and now you try to argue with your sharp tongue! I doubt your petty skills are of any use!" Qiongxiao, enraged, charged towards the heavens, sword in hand. Lu Ya hastily met her attack. Before they had exchanged a few blows, Bixiao unleashed the Hunyuan Golden Bucket into the sky. How could Lu Ya escape the calamity of this bucket! A poem testifies to this: This bucket was born from the heavens, containing the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
