A star somewhere beyond the nine heavens.
Fuyao sat regally in a palace deep within the stars.
Opposite him sat a middle-aged cultivator, looking at Fuyaozi with a wry smile.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really going to cause me trouble? Don't you know the identity of that Eastern Divine Lord? How dare you conspire with others to plot against him!"
Fu Yaozi shook his head helplessly. "Alas, Fellow Daoist Bujizi, you don't know this, but it was because Daoist Xuancheng and the others forced me to do it. If I hadn't agreed at the time, I wouldn't be alive now. I feel very innocent too!"
"Since that's the case, you should apologize to the Eastern Divine Lord properly and explain the situation. He shouldn't make things too difficult for you. Why did you have to run away to me?"
“Fellow Daoist, you make it sound so simple. If he is unwilling to let me go easily, I dare not gamble my life on his magnanimity,” Fu Yaozi retorted.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator named Bujizi shook his head and sighed, "But what's the point of you escaping to my place? If he finds his way here, wouldn't that cause me a lot of trouble?"
Fu Yaozi stood up angrily and sneered, "Fine! It seems you don't welcome me. We've been friends for so many years. I'm just staying here temporarily, but you want to kick me out. It's truly disheartening."
"I guess I misjudged you back then..."
Seeing that Fuyaozi was about to leave, Bujizi smiled wryly, stood up and grabbed his sleeve, "Hey! You still have such a short temper. When did I ever kick you out?"
"Oh? So I misunderstood you?" Fu Yaozi hadn't planned to leave anyway, so she immediately went along with it.
Unruly Boy shook his head and smiled bitterly, inwardly cursing his bad luck.
But this person in front of him was not only his closest friend, but had also saved his life in the past. Now that the man had come to him asking for shelter, could he really turn his back on him and drive him away?
"Alright! From now on, you should stay here with me and lay low for a while to avoid trouble. Don't overthink things."
"Thump!"
Just as a smile appeared on Fuyaozi's face, a familiar bell rang from beyond the sky, freezing his smile instantly.
This is clearly the sound of the Chaos Bell.
That person found this place so quickly???
Bujizi also sensed something was wrong, so he pulled the stiff-bodied Fuyaozi out of the main hall and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, and Hu Le and the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord emerged, each carrying the Chaos Bell.
"He really did catch up!"
Fu Yaozi muttered something, then let out a strange cry, and immediately shot off in a streak of light towards the outside of the stars.
Fuyaozi's decisiveness left Bujizi stunned, unsure whether to leave or stay.
"Trying to leave?"
Just then, Hu Le suddenly chuckled, and the Chaos Bell above his head swayed slightly, then rang out with another "dong".
Fuyaozi, who had just escaped thousands of miles away, paused in his escape light and immediately revealed his figure. He swayed twice and then fell headfirst from the sky.
Hu Le turned to the Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord and ordered, "Go and bring him here."
"OK!"
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord excitedly agreed and immediately flew to Fuyaozi's side in a streak of light.
Taking advantage of his chaotic state of mind and blurred consciousness, she summoned a silken binding rope and tied him up tightly...
Hu Le had already descended from the clouds at this time.
Bujizi also realized what was happening, took a few steps forward, came to Hu Le, and bowed, saying, "I am Bujizi, greetings to the Eastern Divine Lord."
"Oh? You recognize me?"
“Haha…” Bujizi forced a smile, “The name of the Divine Lord is renowned far and wide. Although I am from another world, I have long admired the Divine Lord.”
"Brother, this man is clearly in cahoots with that Fuyaozi. You must not believe his sweet talk."
At this moment, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord had already flown back carrying the Fuyaozi, which had been wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
Hu Le nodded slightly upon hearing this, ignoring Bu Jizi and instead looking at Zongzi... no, it should be Fu Yaozi.
"Fellow Daoist Fuyaozi, we meet again."
Fu Yaozi had already regained consciousness by this time. Seeing Hu Le staring at him with a forced smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to explain."
"oh?"
Hu Le neither agreed nor disagreed.
Fu Yaozi hurriedly began to explain, recounting how the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan had pressured him, and how he had no choice but to comply...
Anyway, it's all the fault of Xuan Cheng Dao Jun and Zhuang Qiu. Even if he was wrong, he was forced into it.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, listening from the side, chuckled in anger, "Heh... What? From what you're saying, it's all someone else's fault, and you're completely innocent?"
"Uh...of course I made some mistakes, but even if I did, they don't warrant death! I hope the Divine Lord can have mercy and forgive me this time." Fu Yaozi chuckled awkwardly.
Seeing this, Bujizi turned his head and, remembering how Fuyaozi had abandoned him and fled at the first moment, felt a slight displeasure.
Then, remembering that all the trouble was caused by this old friend, that slight displeasure turned into resentment...
"Whether you forgive me or not is another matter. If you are truly sincere in admitting your mistake, you might as well hand over the Heavenly Heart Grass first," said the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord in a sarcastic tone.
"this……"
Fu Yaozi's eyes darted around, and he quickly feigned an embarrassed expression, saying, "Fellow Daoist who presents treasures, please forgive me. The whole thing about the Heavenly Heart Grass was made up by me. How could you have believed it? This is truly..."
Upon hearing this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord sneered, "Heh heh... things have come to this point, and you still dare to be dishonest? You're simply courting death. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Seeing that things had come to this point, Bujizi, who was standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated that his old friend was still trying to play tricks. He couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
"Fellow Daoist Fuyaozi, now that things have come to this, just accept it."
"Fellow Daoist! You..."
Upon hearing this, Fuyaozi turned around abruptly, giving her old friend a reproachful glare, as if to say: "Not only did you not plead for him, but you also kicked him when he was down..."
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord nodded repeatedly: "What this fellow Daoist said is correct. If you honestly hand it over, I might be able to plead for your life with my elder brother."
But if you remain stubborn and refuse to see the light, then don't blame us for being ruthless!
You should understand that some things you can't keep. After all, even if I kill you, they'll still end up in my hands anyway.
"Ah..." Fu Yaozi hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Fine! Let me go first, and let me fetch it for you."
Seeing that Fuyaozi had finally given in, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord nodded in satisfaction.
With a flick of his finger, the Immortal Binding Rope on Fuyaozi fell down.
Fuyaozi got up and stretched his arms and legs.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, I will fetch it for you right away."
After Fuyaozi finished speaking, he flicked his hand, revealing a small, golden, three-legged cauldron...
