The bamboo cane struck Kongkong'er on the head with a loud thud, and a large bump immediately swelled up on his forehead amidst Kongkong'er's cry of pain.
This was because Guan Kong deliberately held back; otherwise, his head would have been blown off.
Seeing her friend about to burst into tears, Jingjing, who was far away, could no longer sit still.
"Kongkong'er, I'm here to help you!"
Jingjing immediately spat out a mouthful of white-gold energy, which swirled in the air and transformed into countless swords, axes, and spears, striking Guankong like a storm.
These weapons are all formed from the innate Geng metal energy, making them even sharper than real weapons, and they are particularly effective at breaking through various protective magic treasures, making them extremely powerful.
Guan Kong was not afraid. He used the same old method, gently tossing the white lotus. The twelve-petaled white lotus immediately hung above her head, casting down beams of light.
Countless weapons struck the light screen, causing it to tremble and ripple.
The twelve-petaled white lotus rotated slightly, and the light screen instantly stabilized. Under the erosion of the white mystic light, the weapons returned to their original state and dissipated as wisps of white-gold smoke.
"Heh! You little brat, you deserve a beating too!"
Guan Kong, holding a bamboo staff, struck Kong Kong's head several more times. Then, a lotus petal appeared in his hand, which he placed on Kong Kong's head, immobilizing him in place.
Then, with a swift movement, he closed in on Jingjing'er, raised his bamboo staff, and brought it down, striking him squarely on the forehead.
"Don't even think about it!"
Jingjing was furious. She tilted her head back and shot off like an arrow.
"Trying to run away!"
Guan Kong flicked his left hand, revealing a Sun and Moon Divine Mirror. He waved it at Jingjing'er, and a beam of moonlight, like water, shot out from the mirror and shone on Jingjing'er.
Jingjing was immediately frozen in place, unable to move.
Guan Kong then stepped forward, swinging his bamboo cane repeatedly, striking Jingjing'er three times on the forehead, until he was dizzy, seeing stars, and spitting fire from his seven orifices...
"alright!"
Hu Le waved his hand, retracting the bamboo staff. He then pulled the two children in front of him, effortlessly sealing their magical powers and primordial spirits before asking, "Are you convinced now?"
The two children exchanged a glance. Kongkong was indignant and was about to start cursing when he suddenly noticed Guankong giving him a sidelong look.
He immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
Jingjing cried out, "We refuse to accept this! We refuse to accept this! If you're so capable, then kill us!"
Waaah... Not only did they come to our door for no reason, but they also tried to force us to submit by relying on their cultivation level. This... this is too much... Waaah..."
Hu Le laughed and said, "Alright! Stop crying. My master and I only came here to learn a technique from your place. We didn't mean to harm you."
"You two little brats didn't understand why you started the fight with me and my apprentice. Now you've only learned a small lesson, and you're already acting all aggrieved!"
Guan Kong sneered from the side, "Hmph! That's exactly what I'm saying! Who do you think you are, daring to be bullied by my teacher?"
If it weren't for my mercy and leniency, I would have already smashed your heads in!
Jingjing'er was a little confused upon hearing this. "This...this is still our fault?"
On the other side, Kongkong shouted, "You idiot! You actually believed what they said off the cuff!"
"What? Who are you calling an idiot... Damn it! It's all your fault! If it weren't for helping you, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
"Pah! So what if I call you an idiot! I'm going to hit you!"
Although their magical powers and primordial spirits were sealed, they were only unable to use their magical treasures and supernatural abilities; their hands and feet could still move freely.
Kongkong clenched her little fist, stepped forward, and punched Jingjing'er in the right eye.
"Hey! You dare hit me!"
Jingjing wasn't one to be trifled with either; after letting out a cry of pain, she threw a punch back.
Next, the two started tearing at each other, throwing punches and kicks...
Just then, a ray of auspicious light suddenly appeared above the four of them, and a peaceful and serene atmosphere spread throughout the world.
The two playful children, bathed in this auspicious light, instantly lost all their anger, and the bumps on their foreheads quickly subsided.
A moment later, a Taoist priest with a sorrowful expression, holding a whisk, slowly descended before the crowd on auspicious clouds.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Hu Le hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him, saying, "Junior Hu Le greets Senior Jieyin."
The visitor was none other than the Guide of Mount Sumeru.
The guide nodded to Hu Le, "Young friend, there's no need for such formalities."
Then, his gaze shifted to Guan Kong, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
This Guide Daoist, like Guan Kong, is an incarnation of a primordial lotus, so their meeting today naturally feels somewhat cordial.
He could see through Guan Kong's background at a glance, and felt a little regretful. This girl was originally the most suitable person to be his successor, but unfortunately, their affinity was too shallow, and she had already become Hu Le's disciple.
Although the Guide Daoist felt regret, he had no intention of competing with Hu Le for the disciple.
It's not just because the Taiyi lineage is not easy to mess with.
It is also because the Guide Daoist was born with the greatest compassion, and since his birth, he has been practicing asceticism on Mount Sumeru.
Even after descending the mountain, they mostly focused on regulating the earth's energy in the west and purifying the negative energy in the mountains and rivers, rarely forming karmic connections with people...
"Disciple, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go forward to greet Senior Guide!"
Hu Le called Guan Kong over and gave him instructions.
Guan Kong listened to his command, stepped forward, and bowed in greeting.
Seeing that Hu Le and his apprentice were no longer paying attention to them, Jingjing and Kongkong took the opportunity to quietly retreat into the distance...
Hu Le caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye but didn't think much of it. Clearly, the two little ones were still a bit out of it. Without their spiritual power, where could they possibly escape to with their short legs...?
"Senior, why are you here instead of seeking blessings on Mount Sumeru?" Hu Le asked with a smile.
The Daoist Guide raised his hand and pointed to the sky, then laughed and said, "To be honest, young friend, I have come down the mountain for your disciple!"
The Guide and Guan Kong both originated from lotus roots, so there was naturally a connection between them. With the Guide's cultivation level, he had a sudden impulse when Guan Kong first stepped onto the Western land.
He only needed to do a little calculation to figure out Guan Kong's identity.
As he recalled the profound mystery of the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, a thought immediately arose in his mind.
Both he and Zhunti Daoren were innate deities born from the Western Land, and their destinies were connected to those of the Western Land.
For millions of years, the two brothers have been trying to purify the evil energy of the entire western land, hoping that one day they can completely dispel the evil energy and restore the western land to its former glory.
Now that the twelve-petaled white lotus has been born and entered the West, he is overjoyed.
He knew that the purifying power of this twelve-petaled white lotus was far superior to that of the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit in his hand.
It could even be said that among all the spiritual treasures in this world capable of purifying the evil energy of heaven and earth, the Twelve-Petaled White Lotus is the most revered, surpassing even the most innate treasures...
