The Final Chapter (Part 1)
"Baby... Baby's breath seems to be getting weaker and weaker..." Yuan Shi's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty. He had already sensed something was wrong. Baby, something must have happened to baby!
"What's going on?" Taiqing naturally noticed something was wrong as well, and the golden lotus in his hand guided them all the way to the foot of Mount Ling.
The surrounding pressure was extremely terrifying. Even with their cultivation at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they could barely withstand it and could only hold out for a while. Helplessly, they had to summon the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to protect them, otherwise they would have been unable to move an inch at all!
What exactly did this barren West do to incur such hatred? Even the Heavenly Dao doesn't let him off the hook. It seems the powerful being who sits on Mount Ling doesn't intend to let the West off the hook either... Speaking of the West, it's more accurate to say it's those two scoundrels, Zhunti and Jieyin.
"I should have killed that damned old Taoist priest back then. My momentary compassion has led to this disaster... It's too late to regret! If he dares to harm my third brother, I, Yuqing Yuanshi, will risk all my cultivation to make sure they die without a burial place!" Yuanshi said through gritted teeth.
"It is our fault that we have harmed our younger brother!" Taiqing sighed.
Why didn't he think about why his third brother hadn't responded to his calls? He only assumed that his youngest brother was simply throwing a tantrum and ignoring him. And why didn't he think to check with his second brother to see if his third brother was with him after all this time...?
While the two older brothers certainly made mistakes, the main issue was that this villain had deliberately tried to kidnap his younger brother. What was his purpose?
Could it be all for the merit gained from the child...?
Could it be that Zhunti abducted our child? Good! If I find out it was you who did this despicable thing, you won't be able to protect Mount Ling! Even if it costs me, I will kill you! Yuanshi took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, calmed his mind, and quietly sent it into the air to search for the Qingping Sword. Spiritual treasures are interconnected; as long as the Qingping Sword is found, Tongtian will surely be found!
Taiqing suppressed Yuanshi's idea of directly storming into Mount Ling. Regardless of what had happened inside, the situation was certainly not optimistic, judging from the impregnable barrier outside. All they could do now was wait for the right opportunity.
Not to mention how the anxious Taiqing and Yuqing were racking their brains trying to find a way to enter Mount Ling to rescue their child, at the same time, Zhunti and Jieyin inside Mount Ling had been pressed to the ground and rubbed for a long time by that terrifying pressure. The sense of impending death reminded them at all times that they had to submit, they had to repent, they had to kneel on the ground and weep bitterly... In this way, their bodies were being tortured and their faith was being shattered! This went on and on, endlessly.
"I wonder which senior is it... Why are you making things difficult for us? But, but we are in the wrong first! If we are in the wrong first, could you please show yourself and give us some pointers?" Jieyin swallowed the blood in his mouth with difficulty, blood kept spilling from the corner of his lips, and his face became more and more gloomy. If this continued, it would be the two brothers who would die!
"Brother, I...I can't take it anymore...It hurts so much!" Zhunti had already collapsed. His aura had become extremely weak. Behind him, a phantom of a primordial Bodhi tree had appeared. The Bodhi tree's once lush branches had withered most of them, and most of its leaves had turned yellow and withered. It looked like it was on the verge of collapse.
Jieyin was extremely worried, but without further thought, he took out his magic weapon, the Azure Lotus Banner, and directly covered Zhunti's entire body. Sure enough, his condition improved significantly.
"Hold on! You must hold on! There must be a way!" Jieyin was still struggling to hold on, still begging for mercy from the big boss hidden behind the scenes, but it was no use.
"I never imagined that you, senior, would be such a coward, hiding in my sacred mountain for so long without daring to utter a sound. What are your intentions? Threatening us with such despicable means, may I ask what we have done wrong to attract a senior like you who only knows how to bully others at the slightest disagreement? Even if we die, we should die knowing why!" Jieyin was furious and no longer cared about wasting words on reasoning. At this moment, he just wanted to know who was secretly plotting behind the scenes!
"Bullying others with your power? What a sharp tongue you have, capable of twisting the truth! Let me ask you first: who abducted my beloved disciple, and who was it that shamelessly tried to convert him? Now you, you scoundrel, have actually injured my disciple. Shouldn't we settle these old scores with you?!" Luo Hou sat imposingly on the lotus throne of the Black Lotus of Annihilation, resting his chin on his hand and leisurely staring at the two disheveled figures, a half-smile on his face.
"It's a real injustice! We never abducted Senior's disciple, Senior must have made a mistake..." Jieyin retorted without hesitation.
"Still won't admit it? You bastards!" Luo Hou's eyes flashed with killing intent, his face darkened as if he were about to kill someone, and he released an even stronger pressure around him, directly suppressing the two bastards in place so that they could not move. If they moved even slightly, they would be eroded by countless killing intents!
Jieyin and Zhunti inwardly groaned. They truly hadn't harmed this senior's disciple! They'd never even seen him, so how could they have plotted against him? This was a terrible injustice!
"We should have just killed them long ago! Why waste words?" Remembering his cub who was still in critical condition, Luo Hou lost his patience. He teleported directly in front of them and started beating them mercilessly. The two didn't expect the big boss to attack so suddenly and didn't even have time to escape before being pinned to the ground and rubbed into the ground!
The screams and pleas for mercy blended into a beautiful melody that played on a loop throughout the entire West. Even Taiqing and Yuqing, who were trapped outside the formation, could sense it. The two looked at each other, their expressions somewhat subtle.
He must have been beaten up, right? I have to say, this powerful person was really ruthless. In just a short while, all that could be heard was a faint groan. It's clear that he's not far from being able to breathe anymore!
Hongjun frowned slightly and appeared in Mount Ling. He watched as Luo Hou was frantically beating two rag doll-like... barely human-like things. After a quick calculation, he discovered that these two scoundrels had not only schemed against his little dumpling, but also dared to dream of converting his little disciple to save the fate of the West... Ha! Haven't they woken up from their sweet dream yet? How laughable!
"Luo Hou, stop!" You've already vented your anger; you can't fight anymore. If you keep going, these two will really die...
"Mind your own business? Stop talking nonsense. Just stand by and watch, or let's have a fight. If I win, I'll continue beating these two!" Luo Hou punched Zhunti, sending him flying. Zhunti flew heavily and crashed into several hilltops!
Hongjun sighed, stood with his hands behind his back, and ignored the two old Taoists whose lives were hanging by a thread. He said in a low voice, "You should be able to sense that today is your day of death. Take my advice and come back to Zixiao Palace with me and stay inside. I have no intention of killing you."
"What a joke! What a huge joke, Hongjun! Do you think I'm a three-year-old? What do you mean you didn't mean to kill me? What do you mean I should go back with you? Am I, Luo Hou, destined to be imprisoned in Zixiao Palace for the rest of my life? Can you kill me? Do you dare to kill me? Don't forget, we are one. If you kill me, you'll be killing yourself..." Luo Hou laughed loudly, his laughter full of sarcasm.
It took him a long time to finally understand why Hongjun kept pursuing him, why the Heavenly Dao kept urging him to subdue him, yet dared not kill him.
He was a malevolent corpse separated from Hongjun. Hongjun's method of severing the three corpses could be considered a failure, as the three corpses became independent entities with their own emotions and thoughts, completely detached from the control of the original body. Realizing that the malevolent corpse was no longer under his control, Hongjun considered returning it to his body. Even if he couldn't achieve enlightenment, he wanted to nip Luo Hou in the bud... Luo Hou was far too dangerous, and his magical power was nearly equal to that of the original body, making it extremely difficult for Hongjun to subdue the malevolent corpse, and he was unable to succeed in subduing it.
Fortunately, Luo Hou had no memory of his original body. He only instinctively hid from his original body and wandered around the prehistoric world. The Black Lotus of Annihilation in his hand successfully allowed him to escape the encirclement and suppression by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, and escape danger time and time again.
"Even if it means my death, I, Luo Hou, will never let you and the Heavenly Dao have your way! Don't you want the Path of Demons in my hands? Well, we'll see if you have the ability to take it." Luo Hou withdrew his killing intent, tilted his head, and stared at Hongjun, whose expression was becoming increasingly gloomy and uncertain.
"...Where is Zai? Have you seen Zai? Give him back to me, and I may let you go, okay?" Hongjun pondered for a moment and decided that saving Zai's life was the most important thing. He could deal with Luo Hou's matter later, couldn't he?
"Kid? He's my disciple now, why are you worrying so much!" Luo Hou's smile vanished instantly, and he warily scrutinized Hongjun, whose expression was unreadable.
Hmph, trying to kidnap the kid? No way!
"So you've seen the cub? Let me see the cub." Hongjun breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, the cub should still be in Luo Hou's hands and should be unharmed.
"Why should I?" Luo Hou narrowed his eyes unhappily, a hint of irritation appearing on his handsome face. Hongjun was the most cunning and scheming. What if he was just tricking him into bringing the child out, and then colluding with the Heavenly Dao to capture him? That would be one thing, but what he feared most was that Hongjun would directly snatch the child away! No, it was impossible! Therefore, he absolutely could not agree to any of Hongjun's suspicious requests.
"Just because your son called me 'teacher' once, how about that?" Hongjun smiled slightly, quite satisfied with throwing out this bombshell news, which almost drove Luo Hou crazy and made him vomit blood!
This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! He couldn't believe it. Hongjun must be lying. How could his son so easily accept the cunning, ruthless, and often treacherous Hongjun as his teacher? His son hadn't even called him "teacher" once yet! Luo Hou was about to explode with anger and frustration, feeling utterly powerless.
The child must have been tricked into recognizing Hongjun as his teacher. The poor child can barely walk and has only just learned to speak. He doesn't understand anything and has been unwittingly put on a pirate ship!
I'm so angry... This is too much! Shameless is simply shameful!
"Impossible! I will never let go of you, you brat! Forget about it. If you're not convinced, come and fight!" Rahu sneered, nodding defiantly.
"You! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Luo Hou, since you won't listen to good advice... Fine! Don't blame me for being heartless!" Hongjun was angered by being rejected again and again. Did they really want to kidnap the child? Impossible, he would never let this happen.
"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you!" A boundless killing intent rekindled in Luo Hou's eyes as he drew the God-Slaying Spear, aiming the spearhead at the enraged Hongjun.
Since negotiations have failed, let's settle this with a decisive battle.
