"At this moment, Daiyu and Baochai are at the Great Luo Realm. They may not be invincible, but they are standing at the very peak!"
"He can now fight against ordinary quasi-saints."
"If it is just a demon at the quasi-saint level... I am confident that I can force it to retreat."
"It's a pity there are four... However, they also have helpers, such as Shi Xiangyun and Sanchun, who are all quite remarkable."
Cao Ya thought to himself that he had no intention of showing himself; under his calculations, everything was under control.
It is not an exaggeration to say that with the unified Daiyu and Baochai as the leader, and others assisting them, they could stand up to the quasi-saints.
Cao Ya used a secret technique to secretly sort out and guide the past lives of the girls, but they will not stop at the Golden Immortal Realm and will gradually step into the Great Luo Realm!
At that time, there were more than ten extraordinary Great Luo Immortals, as well as female cultivators with amazing talents like Daiyu and Baochai...
Although those four quasi-saints of evil spirits are powerful, their chances of breaking through the Grand View Tower and flattening the Grand View Garden are slim.
Throughout the entire process, Cao Ya remained hidden, unnoticed and never exposed.
Even if it is deduced that someone is lying in wait, it is impossible to find out who it is, as there is no concrete evidence.
Cao Ya, the Star Lord of Jidu, is on the list of suspects, but it's not a 100% certainty.
After all, how many important figures coveted the Dream of the Red Chamber?
The emergence of numerous quasi-saints and demons at the Great Luo realm is the best proof of this.
It wouldn't be too surprising if a weak sage, or even a true primordial being, were to descend upon us at some point.
"Besides, there are others who have already arrived outside the Grand View Garden!"
Cao Ya looked up and seemed to see the scenery outside, with people from all walks of life all in sight.
Among them were a monk and a Taoist priest; the monk was a bald-headed monk, and the Taoist priest was a lame Taoist priest.
In addition, there were four fairy maidens who descended from the sky, carrying with them a strange luster.
Without needing any introduction, Cao Ya was able to deduce the identities of those people using the art of cause and effect and destiny.
"The bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist priest, as recorded in the book, carried the stubborn stone that mended the sky, which transformed into a magical jade and entered the mortal world, encompassing both prosperous times and apocalyptic times... In this great primordial world, the entire situation is subject to change, but there is no doubt that the monk and the Taoist priest are under the command of the three powerful forces."
Cao Ya pondered silently, combining his past understanding of Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin with the current Three Realms structure and the wondrous divination of the Heavenly Secrets, and gained a very profound understanding.
A monk and a Taoist priest, who had never been reincarnated, openly monitored the Dream of the Red Chamber case.
These two individuals have close ties with the Illusionary Realm of the Great Void and the Crimson Palace, and are both at the Quasi-Saint level!
As for the other four fairy maidens... they are all experts at the peak of the Great Luo Realm!
"The Dream Fairy, the Passionate Bodhisattva, the Sorrowful Golden Maiden, the Repentant Bodhi... are all masters from the Land of Illusion, sent here on orders to rescue the Golden Hairpin and defeat the evil spirits."
"Just like Jia She, Jia Zhen, and others, they were not well-intentioned, but full of malice!"
"The group of beautiful women cannot be killed by evil spirits; they can only die at the hands of the three powerful figures at the end of the Dream of the Red Chamber!"
"If they have made contributions and are lucky enough to obtain one or two Great Dao Fruits, they can consume and refine them, greatly improving their cultivation. It's no longer a pipe dream for them to leap from the Great Luo to the Quasi-Saint level."
"The Fairy Disenchantment and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden are both observing from heaven. If the situation of the Golden Hairpins becomes more and more dangerous, they will not be able to sit still and will personally intervene."
Cao Ya could see through the traces of these immortals and gods.
Fairy Jinghuan and Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden are direct descendants of the three powerful figures, their most trusted confidantes. Their cultivation is not to be underestimated; they are considered strong even in the Quasi-Saint realm.
Of course, it was also because the two women's identities were too conspicuous that they did not rush to intervene.
They pondered that with the unexpected arrival of the Arhat Subduing Dragon and others, the two quasi-saints, the bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist, as well as the four fairy maidens from the Great Illusion Realm... they didn't need to achieve a great victory or slaughter the demons, but just protecting the hairpin seemed like a good solution.
They might also be thinking that with frequent changes, the Red Chamber and the Water Margin in the Song Dynasty will have to speed up the pace and quickly move to the end, so that the fates of the Golden Hairpin and the Demon Star will burn and boil, and merge with the human destiny, giving the three strong men a good opportunity to reap the rewards!
Of course, not every beautiful woman or every demon star met a tragic end.
For example, Qin Keqing, who has already passed away, was the twelfth of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. She was the younger sister of the Fairy Disenchantment and had already returned to the Land of Illusion. Her death completely opened the curtain of the Dream of the Red Chamber, making a significant contribution. When the Dream of the Red Chamber ends, she will surely receive a great reward.
Otherwise, why would Fairy Jinghuan send her own sister down to the mortal realm?
However, these types of characters are few and far between.
Eight or nine out of ten Golden Hairpins and Demon Stars will perish both physically and spiritually, their destinies ruined, and become prey for the three powerful figures.
"Buzz." Suddenly, the evil mist that had sealed off the Grand View Garden seemed to have a life of its own, cracking open and swallowing up a monk, a Taoist priest, and the four fairy maidens.
The six people were taken aback, but did not resist. They had come here to strike down the evil spirits!
This also saves on the mana cost of attacking the evil mist and magical shield.
"Do those people think we're just fish on a chopping board, to be manipulated at will?" Fairy Dream sneered, assuming that this move was the work of a quasi-saint level demon, who was actively absorbing us in order to eliminate us.
“We slaughtered the Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals. Their spiritual treasures, including their corpses, are all valuable.”
The monk and the Taoist both chuckled, their smiles revealing a certain greed.
With a "whoosh," the six people vanished into the depths of the evil mist in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
Even the Fairy Disenchantment and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who were watching from beyond the heavens, could not see the scenery in the Grand View Garden clearly. They could only vaguely sense the life and death of the monk, the Taoist priest, and the four fairy maidens.
However, the person behind the manipulation of the evil mist was not any quasi-saint, but Cao Ya.
He also subtly influenced the thoughts of the four quasi-saints who were besieging the Grand View Pavilion, and they all turned their gazes toward the six people, their eyes filled with murderous intent!
"That's... a fairy maiden?" In the Grand View Pavilion, Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then became dazed.
Before Qin Keqing's death, he had a dream in her room, in which he seemed to go to some place and have a fleeting, intimate dream with Qin Keqing.
At that time, he saw many fairy maidens, each one beautiful and stunning, making Jia Baoyu's heart itch with desire.
Once I woke up and realized it was a dream, I didn't take it seriously and put it out of my mind.
But now it seems like a dream and reality have overlapped.
"It's them!" Both Daiyu and Baochai, who were closely intertwined and almost one, felt a slight stirring in their hearts.
Both women remembered that when they were young, they had met a monk and a Taoist priest who wanted to convert them to become nuns or gave them a prescription.
Even Xiangling, in a daze, sensed something amiss.
"So, they, like those people, are in the role of watchdogs?"
Daiyu and Baochai pondered this deeply, and a profound sense of vigilance arose within them.
For example, who are Jia She, Jia Zhen, Madam Xing, Madam Wang, etc.? What are their origins and why were they reincarnated here? At present, we don't need to know them by heart, but we can guess about 80-90% of them.
"People from the Illusionary Realm and the Crimson Palace? Hmph, only two Quasi-Saints, who do they think they are?"
The winged female quasi-saint ridiculed, saying that it was laughable that such a weak saint's dojo could only send out a few immortals and gods.
"Numbers don't matter; we are enough to force you to retreat," the bald-headed monk said with a chuckle.
The lame Taoist priest, limping along, sang an ancient, unknown song, which aroused the divine laws of the universe.
"A mere trick." The silver-haired quasi-saint scoffed, unleashing a dazzling display of silver light that blotted out the sky and engulfed the lame Taoist.
The winged female quasi-saint also engaged in a fierce battle with the bald-headed monk, their magical powers clashing and shaking the heavens and earth.
"Four peak Grand Luo Immortals... Hmm, we haven't even tasted the flesh and blood of the female immortals in the Heaven of Separation yet! What kind of deliciousness do you expect to find!"
The Sphinx and the Rock Quasi-Saint, looking at the several fairy maidens, revealed a perverse appetite.
"What a beast! So disgusting!" Zhongqing Dashi said disdainfully.
Living in the Heaven of Separation and with the backing of a weak sage, their arrogance was unparalleled.
So what if they're Quasi-Saints? They're not without treasures capable of defeating Quasi-Saints!
"Why waste words with such a demon? Just use your magic treasure and kill it." Duhen Putuo said, circulating his magic power and immediately activating a third-grade magic treasure, which flew out.
Zhongqing Dashi, Chimeng Xiangu, and Yinchou Jinnu also possessed third-class spiritual treasures.
"What a treasure!" The two quasi-saints looked on with greedy eyes.
First-class and second-class spiritual treasures are beyond the reach of ordinary quasi-saints; they dare not even dream of them, and even if they could, they couldn't protect them.
The third-grade spiritual treasure is the most coveted rare treasure. If one can obtain it, one's combat power will definitely increase exponentially!
"Boom!" In an instant, the four fairy maidens were also engaged in a duel with the two quasi-saints.
The spiritual treasures clashed, and the divine roar resounded throughout the world, causing the surrounding void to tremble.
For a moment, the people at Daguanlou were all vacant and had nothing to do.
"This..." Jia Baoyu scratched his head and said, "Let's run away quickly!"
Suddenly, Daiyu, Baochai, the three sisters, and others all looked at Jia Baoyu with incredulous eyes.
"Second Master!" Qingwen was also in disbelief.
"Grandma and Second Master are here, and they even came specifically to support us. Now that they have some free time, how can they just ignore it?" Xiren hurriedly reminded them.
Jia Baoyu immediately felt embarrassed; he was just a little scared.
"Let's make a move!" Shi Xiangyun said, her cultivation having also reached the Great Luo Realm.
In that instant, the Qilin Dharma Image became even more refined, and together with the Golden Qilin, it truly resembled a beautiful daughter of the Qilin clan appearing in the world.
Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, and Miaoyu, among others, all broke through to the Great Luo realm; each of the Golden Hairpins possessed top-tier power.
Xiangling, Qingwen, Xiren, and others also followed the girls and advanced.
Their cultivation had also reached the Great Luo level, with profound foundations and powerful Taoist techniques.
However, the most outstanding one is definitely the one that combines the two characters, Baochai and Daiyu!
"Whoosh." A radiant light shimmered on the surface of Daiyu's body, revealing the supreme profound meaning of the Great Dao.
The [Ice Soul Divine Light] and [Netherfire Heart Light] were perfectly integrated, their power terrifying. Wherever they passed, the Great Luo Immortals were dazed, their minds went limp, and their bodies and souls lost all vitality.
When Daiyu and Baochai are combined, their fighting power is beyond that of a Great Luo Immortal, comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint!
Without a doubt, at this moment, the entire battle situation in the Grand View Garden has been reversed!
The demons were at a disadvantage, suffering increasing casualties.
"You think you can defeat us? Not so easy!" Many demons, their expressions crazed, showed no sign of retreating. Instead, they burned their life essence and blood, fighting with increasing ferocity.
"Let's perish together!" they roared, and the magical artifacts were ignited, displaying an indescribable ferocity and overwhelming malevolence.
"Ah!!" Instantly, Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Madam Xing, Madam Wang, Granny Lai, Lai Da, Lai Er, Zhou Rui, Zhou Rui's wife, Wang Shanbao, Wang Shanbao's wife... all of these three powerful subordinates were severely injured and relentlessly targeted by the crazed demon.
That reckless fighting style terrified everyone.
In fact, even those demons at the quasi-saint level fought fiercely, refusing to give an inch!
"Hmm?" Ji Gong struck the red-haired spirit official's body with his left palm, and waved his broken fan with his right hand. The one-horned quasi-saint and the eight-headed quasi-saint also coughed up blood.
Logically, having gained the upper hand, Ji Gong should be happy, but the enemy's situation left him completely baffled.
These demons, so selfless?
"Something's not right!" Only the high-level quasi-saints with scales and vertical pupils sensed a conspiracy.
How could the demons possibly fight to the death for a mission from a powerful figure? They would be doing their best if they could.
"Who influenced them?" The Scaled Armor Quasi-Saint's heart trembled.
It can corrupt even the Great Luo Immortals and Quasi-Saints without a sound... Even a high-level Quasi-Saint like him was completely unaware... The terrifying power of the person behind the scenes is unimaginable!
"Clang!" Chenxiang and Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it; anyway, the battle situation was in their favor.
Together they wielded the replica of the Heaven-Opening Axe, each strike aimed directly at the Scaled Armor Quasi-Saint!
Just then, the silver-haired quasi-saints and others roared, their origins boiling!
"Wow." The bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist priest were defeated one after another and were injured one after another.
The four fairy maidens were covered in blood, and their bodies and souls were all cracked!
"Are you all crazy?" the six couldn't help but ask, utterly baffled by the actions of these people.
If you can't win, just run away. Why fight to the death?
"Haha, die!" The demons and monsters at the Great Luo Realm and Quasi-Saint Realm were all laughing wildly, attacking at all costs, and their main targets were Jia She and his group, as well as the monk, the Taoist priest, and the four fairy maidens!
"Fairy Maiden, save us!" Jia She, Jia Zhen, Madam Xing, Madam Wang, and others cried out for help, their faces filled with fear.
They initially thought this was a pleasant task; even with some setbacks, the attention from the three major powers would only pose a minor threat, not a significant crisis.
Who would have thought that with the passage of time and the changing of the world, they revived the essence of the Great Luo Realm, only to face death.
However, those six immortals and gods were all struggling to protect themselves, so how could they have the extra energy to come to their rescue?
Soon, under the onslaught of the demons, these people also met their end, dying a miserable and unfortunate death.
"Bang!!!" Even their souls and true spirits were destroyed, leaving them without a complete corpse.
"Boom." The demons, having lost their essence, were also annihilated.
Everyone was stunned by these unexpected scenes.
"Damn it!" The monk, the Taoist priest, and the four fairy maidens roared in anger, and brazenly used the strange talismans given to them by Fairy Disenchantment and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden before their departure. The divine talismans, which were engraved with the secrets of the immortal path, exploded, severely injuring several quasi-saints and tearing apart the evil mist. They seized the opportunity and immediately fled far away!
They had realized that Jinchai was safe, but their own lives were in danger.
If we don't escape now, when will we?
"What happened?" After the six people left, Fairy Jinghuan and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly sensed something was wrong and rushed over to meet them and inquire about the matter.
When they learned of the changes in the Grand View Garden, both women were stunned.
"There must be a powerful figure behind this!"
They all understood, but were also very wary. Since the hairpin was unharmed, they did not go to the Earthly Immortal Realm, but returned to the Heavenly Court and the Heaven of Separation and Hatred to report to the Three Powers.
"It's a bit of a pity that we didn't keep those six people," Cao Ya said with regret.
But he wasn't annoyed; the current situation was still trending in a way that favored Jinchai.
