Qianyuan Mountain, Jinguan Cave.
A Taoist with silver-white hair and a lotus crown on his head sat on a lotus platform.
He has kind eyes, an immortal demeanor, and an extraordinary aura.
This person is none other than Taiyi Zhenren! Yuanshi Tianzun's personal disciple and one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!
He was not surprised by the arrival of Nezha, his cheap disciple.
The reason is simple, everything is calculated.
He pretended to think about Nezha's request for a moment, then agreed and decided to take the lead on Nezha's behalf.
On the one hand, the reason is that Nezha is indeed his apprentice and the third-generation disciple of the Chan sect.
Now that his own disciple has been wronged, it is reasonable for him to step in and resolve the issue.
What's more, the person who bullied his own disciples was an immortal from the Jiejiao who had always been at odds with the Chenjiao. He had to take a closer look.
If this matter could be handled well, perhaps he would be able to retain an important place in the heart of this naughty disciple of his.
He knew that Nezha was born with murderous intent and was a real troublemaker. Although he was not cold-hearted, he was difficult to tame.
Therefore, after receiving the order to accept a disciple, he did not keep him by his side. This could not only avoid bringing trouble upon himself, but also allow him to help when necessary and win over the disciple.
After all, Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi and has a good foundation. If he practices well, he will definitely achieve something in the future, and it will also be a honor for his master.
And now, it is obviously a great opportunity.
On the other hand, it is also the most important reason.
Because of the battle in Zhuolu Plain, Taiyi Zhenren was in danger of death and was destined to go through the great calamity of Conferred Gods.
In this situation, he needs a few scapegoats to take the blame for him.
Han Zhixian of Jiejiao is just the right person. We can just use the law of cause and effect to kill this fairy of Jiejiao.
Taiyi Zhenren can not only intercept part of the other party's luck, but also let the other party avoid disasters for him.
With this in mind, Taiyi Zhenren packed up his magic treasures, took Nezha, and quickly left the Golden Light Cave.
Taiyi Zhenren is a Daluo Jinxian, and with his speed, it would only take a few days.
But in the end, it took eight days to reach Chentang Pass.
At this time, Han Zhixian of Jiejiao was threatening Chentang Pass, preparing to kill Li Jing and pay for the life of her fairy boy.
Seeing that his father was in danger, Nezha became anxious and shouted immediately.
"Old witch, I killed the fairy boy under your seat. If you have any problem, come to me. Let my father go!"
While talking.
Nezha jumped down from the back of the crane and threw the Qiankun Ring towards Han Zhixian. A golden light instantly pierced the void, and the remaining power crushed the mountains into powder.
Unfortunately, Nezha’s cultivation level is still too low and he cannot compare with Han Zhixian at all.
Even if Han Zhixian is only a powerful Daluo Jinxian in the early stage, Nezha is far from being his opponent.
Han Zhixian simply stretched out two fingers and firmly grasped the Qiankun Circle.
She didn't even look at Nezha, but looked at the person behind him, her face looking a little solemn.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, it seems that this little evildoer is your disciple?"
Han Zhixian participated in three Xuanmen conferences.
Although he was not qualified to fight against the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect, he had watched them fight with other elite disciples of the Demon Sect and knew that the Qiankun Circle was the treasure of the Golden Light Cave.
But now he is in the hands of this rebellious boy, and the relationship between them is self-evident.
As for what Nezha said, Han Zhixian did not believe it, but she did not doubt it either.
She knew that Li Jing couldn't pull the Qiankun bow, so naturally he couldn't shoot the Zhentian arrow.
The reason why she wanted to kill Li Jing was because she had said a month ago that if he failed to give her a satisfactory explanation when he came to Chentang Pass again, she would have to kill Li Jing and his wife.
She is doing this now just to fulfill her promise.
Facing Han Zhixian's questioning, Taiyi Zhenren flicked his whisk lightly, calmly and unhurriedly said:
"Fellow Daoist, you are a Daluo Jinxian, why do you have to argue with a little disciple?"
"He was born less than a year ago and is young and ignorant. Even if he really killed your Taoist boy, it was an unintentional act. Ignorance is not a crime."
"Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally one family."
"After all, Nezha is still your fellow Taoist's nephew. Why should we damage the harmony between the two sects just for a mere boy?"
"If you want boys, I can enlighten a few and give them to you."
"But if you insist on making things difficult for me and bully the weak, don't blame me for being rude."
Looking at the calm and composed Taiyi Zhenren who was making unreasonable arguments, Han Zhixian raised her eyebrows and looked angry.
What do you mean she is bullying the weak?
What do you mean he is just a boy and is insignificant?
It sounded as if she would be making things difficult for Nezha if she continued to pursue the matter and refused to take the initiative to reveal the cause and effect.
It is just being unreasonable and narrow-minded, destroying the relationship between the Jie Sect and the Chen Sect.
Han Zhixian absolutely did not believe that Taiyi Zhenren knew that some boys were as important as his direct disciples.
To put it bluntly, this is deliberately confusing right and wrong.
Unfortunately, Han Zhixian is not famous for her cultivation in Jiejiao, but when it comes to eloquence, she has few rivals.
If she is pissed off, she won't care whether Taiyi Zhenren is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
"You are so good, Taiyi Zhenren, you are really good at confusing right and wrong. Since you think that the boy who has accompanied me for countless years is nothing, then your evil disciple must be nothing either."
"After all, he has been your disciple for less than a year, and your luck has not yet been completely connected."
"In order to sever the friendship between the two sects, you should be willing to hand over Nezha, so that he won't do evil things in the future and bring shame to you and the Chan sect."
"Speaking of which, I killed the evil disciple for you, so you should be thanking me, Taoist Taiyi."
Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren's face instantly turned gloomy. He had not expected that Han Zhixian would be so clever in her words and would actually fight back based on his words.
But before he could refute anything, Nezha attacked again in anger.
The Hun Tian Ling turned into thousands of feet of red silk and flew towards Han Zhixian's face.
Li Jing and Yin Shiniang were almost killed, which made him extremely angry. With murderous intent raging in his body, he naturally would not let it go.
Han Zhixian's expression remained unchanged. She raised her finger and the Hun Tian Ling turned into a short red rope, which she put away.
Then she sneered.
"Is this Taoist Taiyi's good disciple? This poor Taoist's good nephew?"
Taiyi Zhenren glanced at Nezha and was speechless.
He knew that Nezha was a troublemaker, so he left Nezha in Chentang Pass and did not keep him by his side to take care of him.
What happened today further verified this idea. If I had brought Nezha back to Qianyuan Mountain, I don’t know how much trouble it would have brought me.
Now, Taiyi Zhenren's plan of using courtesy before force has failed, and he can only kill Han Zhixian and let her resist part of the killing calamity for him.
Then hide in Kunlun Mountain to avoid the limelight and wait until the calamity of Conferred Gods is over.
Otherwise, if Han Zhixian disregarded the friendship between the two sects and took the initiative to attack, even if he killed the other party, it would not achieve the desired effect.
Although he felt regretful, when it came time to take action, Taiyi Zhenren never wastes words and is very decisive and ruthless, with every attack using a killing move.
As magic power surged, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover fell from the sky, and the sky above Chentang Pass was suddenly covered by endless flames.
Taiyi Zhenren focuses on the great way of fire and has practiced Samadhi Fire for countless years. He has already perfected this magical power, which is far beyond the reach of the Samadhi Fire displayed by Nezha.
Tui Chen had his own unique insights on this magical power. He walked his own path and integrated himself into the great way of fire.
Strictly speaking, this has become the Samadhi True Fire that belongs only to him.
With Taiyi Zhenren's magic power of the late Daluo Jinxian to unleash the Samadhi True Fire, coupled with the innate spiritual treasure of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, the power unleashed was extremely terrifying.
Nine fire dragons soared in the sky and descended with terrifying power. Under the burning of the divine fire, the void seemed to melt.
Facing this attack, even a great and accomplished Golden Immortal would have to be cautious, let alone Han Zhixian.
She also didn't expect that Taiyi Zhenren would not care about the friendship among the three religions at all and directly break off relations with them.
Moreover, he used all his strength when he attacked, as if he wanted to kill her.
Han Zhixian has lived for so many years and has extremely rich combat experience.
She reacted quickly and threw out a pocket with a wave of her sleeve.
The pocket swelled in the wind, and after expanding hundreds of times, it suddenly released endless innate strong wind.
Next is the innate wind bag, which is the innate spiritual treasure bestowed by the Shangqing Saint to Han Zhixian.
As both are top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the power of the Innate Wind Bag is not much weaker than that of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover.
It's just that Han Zhixian's cultivation is not as good as Taiyi Zhenren's, and she is not good at fighting. Due to the huge gap in strength, Han Zhixian was suppressed by Taiyi Zhenren from the beginning.
Even so, the battle between the two Daluo Jinxians was equally terrifying.
The surrounding mountains collapsed, rivers evaporated, and even the East China Sea was affected, with the water boiling and churning.
If the two of them did not want to bear the karma and deliberately avoided Chentang Pass, and if they were not protected by the human formation.
Otherwise, the huge Chentang Pass would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.
Looking at the violent collision of the sea of fire, the fire dragon and the wind phoenix above the sky, millions of people in Chentang Pass felt suffocated and terrified.
Many people knelt on the ground and prayed continuously, hoping to get through this safely.
At the same time, they naturally had no good feelings towards Nezha, who caused all these troubles. Instead, they felt a strong disgust towards him.
The general and his wife were both kind people, so why did they give birth to such a scourge? As time went by, Han Zhixian's condition became worse and worse.
The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover was suspended in the sky, releasing infinite divine fire. Han Zhixian could only rely on the wind bag to disperse the life around her.
Even though the situation was critical, Han Zhixian still did not beg for mercy.
She could see that Taiyi Zhenren was determined not to let her have an easy time today. From the very beginning, there was no possibility of a peaceful resolution to this matter.
Seeing that the protection range of the wind bag was compressed to the limit and cracks gradually began to appear on the Daluo Dao body, Han Zhixian shouted angrily: "Taiyi old thief, you ignored the friendship between the two sects and killed me. Have you ever thought about whether my master Shangqing Saint would bypass you? This is the East China Sea!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Taiyi Zhenren's face changed drastically.
The saints reflect the great universe, and their names should not be mentioned casually.
Whatever is proposed will be responded to.
The reason why Taiyi Zhenren used all his strength at the beginning was that he wanted to end the battle quickly and avoid attracting the attention of Shangqing Saint.
Unexpectedly, it was Han Zhixian who finally called out the title of Shangqing Saint.
Chentang Pass is right on the coast of the East China Sea, not too far from Jinao Island.
If you shout out the name of Saint Taiqing here, you will naturally not escape the perception of Saint Shangqing.
But now that things have come to this, Taiyi Zhenren has no reason to stop.
He believed that even if he really killed Han Zhixian, the Shangqing Saint would not do anything to him.
After all, he did this with the permission of Yuanshi Tianzun. Even accepting Nezha as his disciple was Yuanshi Tianzun's idea.
In this case, how can Yuanshi Tianzun just watch ?
East China Sea, Jin'ao Island.
Shangqing Lingbaotian, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was like a sword, piercing through layers of space and falling on Chentang Pass.
He saw Han Zhixian who was in danger under the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and Taiyi Zhenren who was using all his strength to start a killing spree.
After counting on his fingers and deducing, he understood the whole story.
His eyebrows stood up like sharp swords and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body. The entire Jin'ao Island was filled with lightning and thunder, and thousands of swords clashed.
The Chan sect protects its shortcomings, and the Shangqing saint protects his shortcomings even more.
How could he just sit there and do nothing when he saw his own disciple Taiyi Zhenren being bullied like this?
But just when he was about to tear the space apart and go to Chentang Pass to talk reason with Taiyi Zhenren.
Suddenly he realized something, his eyes flashed slightly, and finally he sat back on the cushion.
From the deduction just now, he knew that the other Sky-shaking Arrow shot by Nezha flew towards Guixu.
At this time, Guixu arrived outside Chentang Pass.
With this in mind, he decided to see how Guixu dealt with it.
If Guixu can handle it well, then he will let the matter go for the sake of the three religions being one family.
If Guixu's handling is not good enough, then he will go and talk to Taiyi Zhenren about it.
Chentang Pass.
Boom! Along with a loud thunder, the sky above Chentang Pass was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the sea of fire and greatly reducing the power of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
The rain contained rich healing power, which brought new life to Chentang Pass, and even Han Zhixian's injuries improved.
When Taiyi Zhenren saw this, he frowned slightly, knowing that the person who used this trick was not simple.
When he saw who was coming, his brows furrowed even deeper.
In the sky, a fairy in a white dress fell from the clouds. With a wave of her white hands, she rescued Han Zhixian from the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
This person is the second generation disciple of Guixu lineage, the quasi-saint - Fairy Yunxiao! Beside her, there is a little girl whose aura is no worse than Fairy Yunxiao, and she is also a quasi-saint.
She was the eldest disciple of the Guixu lineage - Bai Mi! A month ago, after they learned that Han Zhixian would come again in a month, they had been hiding in the dark using secret methods and had not left Chentang Pass.
Therefore, they witnessed Taiyi Zhenren's shamelessness with their own eyes, and they had no good feelings towards this Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect.
Now that the time is ripe, there is naturally no reason for them to continue watching.
On top of the city wall.
Yin Shiniang and Li Jing did not know Yunxiao, but Bai Mi and the others did. They were overjoyed and immediately bowed.
"Li Jing (Yin Shi Niang) greets the three Seniors Bai!"
Taiyi Zhenren looked solemn, suppressing his displeasure, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Do you two Taoist friends really want to save Fairy Hanzhi, to make things difficult for me, and to become an enemy of our Chan Sect?"
As a disciple directly taught by Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiyi Zhenren naturally recognized Baimi and Yunxiao, and knew that both of them were quasi-saints.
Just relying on his title of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he could not suppress these two people.
Now he could only hope that the other party would take the reputation of the Chan sect into consideration and not get involved in this matter.
There was just one thing he couldn't understand: why would the people from Guixu suddenly come to Chentang Pass at this critical moment and rescue Han Zhixian?
Could it be that Nezha has also offended the Guixu clan? It's not that possible...
