Minghe Laodao stood above the clouds, seemingly confronting the Southern Frontier Ancestor. They both understood each other's intentions in coming here.
It's clear that she has her eye on the chosen one in the Du family below.
The old patriarch of the Southern Frontier angrily questioned, "Old man Minghe, instead of waiting for your ascension, why do you interfere in the affairs of the mortal world? Aren't you afraid of being entangled in karma and prevented from ascending?"
The old Taoist priest Minghe held his whisk and gently brushed his robes a few times before calmly replying, "Old Demon! My affairs are none of your concern. Now that a great calamity is approaching, you should take better care of yourself, lest you be careless and turn to ashes in the future."
When the Southern Frontier Ancestor heard the words "Great Calamity," his expression changed slightly. Minghe's words had struck a chord with him.
He searched far and wide for the chosen one, precisely to increase his own fortune and overcome this calamity.
Now, however, the old Taoist priest Minghe is trying to obstruct him in this matter, which he cannot tolerate.
"Old man, I won't say any more to you now. I'll settle things with you after I've taken my good disciple under my wing."
After the Southern Frontier Ancestor finished speaking, he was about to rush towards the Du family mansion below, seemingly already envisioning the scene after he took that little boy as his disciple.
However, at that moment, the old Taoist priest Minghe suddenly intervened and stopped him.
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!"
With a loud shout, the old Taoist Minghe flung his whisk, which flew out of his hand like a white lightning bolt toward the Southern Frontier Ancestor.
Upon seeing this, the Southern Frontier Ancestor was startled and quickly dodged to the side, trying to avoid the attack.
However, his speed was still a little slow, and the dust from his whisk quickly spread out, like a huge net, tightly wrapping him up.
"Old man! How dare you stop me!" The Southern Frontier Ancestor was furious. He never expected that the old Taoist Minghe would be so bold as to attack him.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a black light flashed on his body as he broke free. He then raised his hand and scattered a spray of emerald green divine needles, which shot towards the old Taoist priest Minghe.
These needles gleamed with an eerie light, like messengers from hell, their dark green color sending chills down one's spine.
This needle is called the Azure Fire Divine Needle, a magical treasure meticulously crafted by the ancestor of the Southern Frontier.
It is collected from the yin fire in the earth's lungs and refined over thousands of years.
This Azure Flame Needle can not only easily pierce a person's body, but also release a sinister flame that will burn anyone who gets in contact with it to ashes.
Although the old Taoist priest Minghe did not know the details of this treasure, he did not dare to test it on himself. He immediately raised his hand and sent out a flying sword, which turned into tens of thousands of cold rays of light and collided with the flying needles.
Ding ding dang dang.
A clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out, scattering the flying needles into a chaotic mess.
Seeing this, the old patriarch of the Southern Frontier had no choice but to raise his hand and retract the flying needle.
However, at this moment, the old Taoist priest Minghe also withdrew his flying sword and whisk, and did not continue to pursue the old demon.
He lowered his eyes and glanced down, fearing that the aftershocks of his battle with the Southern Frontier Ancestor might inadvertently destroy the Du family mansion below.
So he shouted, "Old Demon, do you dare to come with me to a farther place and settle this score?!"
Upon hearing this, the Southern Frontier Ancestor nodded slightly. He too was worried that it might ruin the life of the little child below.
He immediately replied, "I'll go then! Do you think I, your ancestor, would be afraid of you?!"
The old Taoist nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then said, "However, before that, we must invite the two fellow Taoists in the heavens to come with us."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked up at a wisp of misty cloud in the sky, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He then chuckled softly and said, "Fellow Daoists! How long are you going to hide? Why don't you come out and show yourselves?"
Clearly, he had already discovered the Peach Mountain Ancestor and the Supreme Elder hiding in the clouds.
Upon hearing this, the Southern Frontier Ancestor was not surprised and turned his gaze in that direction.
This shows that he couldn't hide it from those two either.
Now that their whereabouts had been exposed, the Peach Mountain Ancestor and the Supreme Elder no longer needed to hide. With a flash of light in the clouds, they appeared together.
"Fellow Daoist Minghe! You are indeed formidable!" Old Ancestor Taoshan exclaimed loudly.
"Could you two be fellow Daoists from the Peach Immortal Path?" Old Daoist Minghe sensed the unique aura emanating from the two and immediately guessed loudly.
“Fellow Daoist, your insight is indeed keen. I am Taoshan Daoist, the leader of Taoxian Daoist,” Taoshan Patriarch replied.
The Supreme Elder replied, "I am Peach Blossom Immortal, Peach Blossom Daoist."
"So it's you two fellow Daoists. I've long admired your names!" Old Daoist Minghe smiled and gave the two a slight bow.
"We dare not!" Upon seeing this, the two quickly returned the greeting in unison.
The Southern Frontier Ancestor was far less polite. His sinister gaze swept over the two men, and he asked in a chilling tone, "May I ask what brings you two fellow Daoists here?"
The Peach Mountain Ancestor didn't stand on ceremony with him either, "We should be asking you that question! Why are you here at the foot of my Ten Thousand Peach Mountain instead of enjoying blessings at your own Daoist temple, fellow Daoist from the Southern Frontier?"
"Hmph! You all know perfectly well why the Ancestor came here, so why pretend not to know? How hypocritical!" the Ancestor of Southern Xinjiang said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, the Peach Mountain Ancestor was not angry. He simply smiled slightly and shook his head. "It seems that you have also come for that little child below?"
As he spoke, he looked at the old Taoist priest Minghe.
The old Taoist priest didn't feel there was anything shameful about it, and nodded slightly: "What you say is correct, fellow Daoist!"
The patriarch of the Southern Frontier nodded in agreement, "Indeed!"
Upon hearing this, the Peach Mountain Ancestor frowned, his face showing displeasure, and said, "Do you all know that since this child was born at the foot of my Ten Thousand Peach Mountain, he is naturally destined to be with my Peach Immortal Path? How dare you come here to snatch my disciple? Don't you think you've gone a bit too far?!"
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist Minghe snorted coldly and retorted, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Just because someone is born outside your mountain gate, does that mean they are necessarily your disciple? That is utterly absurd!"
This old Taoist priest foresaw that this lad has a connection with my Pure Yang Sect! Otherwise, why would I have traveled so far to take him as my disciple!
The Southern Frontier Ancestor also said with a disdainful look, "Old man Minghe is right. Do you really think that just because the distance is close, this child belongs to you? It's utterly laughable! I also foresaw that this child is destined to be with my Southern Demonic Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Peach Immortal Ancestor's face darkened, and he sneered, "Hmph! You two are truly insolent! Don't forget! This is the territory of my Peach Immortal Sect. Where did you two get the audacity to dare to contend with us?!"
The atmosphere on the scene became tense, with both sides sticking to their own stories and refusing to back down.
Next, after both sides realized that it was difficult to determine the winner through words alone, they had no choice but to go to a distant place for a battle to determine who was superior.
However, just before leaving, the old Taoist priest from Peach Mountain raised his hand and pointed, and a peach blossom fell from his fingertip, hovering above the Du residence. The peach blossom swayed slightly, and a wisp of colorful mist descended, protecting the Du residence.
Clearly, he was also afraid that while he was fighting with Minghe and the others in a distant place, someone might take advantage of the situation and steal the chosen one from the Du family.
Seeing this, the old Taoist Minghe and the Southern Frontier Ancestor didn't say much, but they also left behind a hidden trick, allowing them to control the area from afar...
