Chapter 400 Unfair
"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, another letter has been sent from the mountain gate..." Jin Ling never imagined that the calamity at the foot of the mountain was so severe. Her eldest brother almost got taken away by the Western Saint when he went down the mountain, and now even her master, who is a Saint, could not escape this calamity.
Jin Ling was glad that she had obeyed and had not gone down the mountain.
"Never mind him," Yuanshi said, taking a sip of his fragrant tea before turning to Jinling. "You may leave now."
Jin Ling glanced at her senior brother, and seeing Duo Bao nod slightly, she retreated anxiously.
"Second brother, when will you calm down?" Laozi thought that this was the second time he had written this letter, and it was time to go and retrieve Tongtian.
"What does Tongtian have to offer? He has nothing to offer. Does he expect me to sponsor him?" Yuanshi asked rhetorically.
"This..." Laozi was speechless for a long time before finally saying without any confidence, "Didn't we always split it in half, brother and I?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Everything I have belongs to my Daoist partner. You expect me to take my things to give to my Daoist partner to rescue Tongtian?" Yuanshi asked with a half-smile. "From one hand to the other?"
Isn't this deceiving Chang Hao into thinking he knows nothing right now?
Even though Chang Hao hasn't acknowledged his identity yet, once Yuan Shi has made up his mind, it's forever. He will wait until the day Chang Hao agrees.
"Stop messing around, where did you get this from..." Laozi suddenly stammered, "Cousin?!!!" Even his voice changed.
Who could be the Daoist companion in Yuanshi's heart? Laozi doesn't even need to guess.
No wonder Yuanshi was so angry. Laozi also understood how Tongtian ended up being betrayed and killed by his master.
Serves you right for acting recklessly and blindly taking in an ancestor as a disciple. I have no sympathy for you at all.
"Chang Hao, he..." I wanted to ask Chang Hao what his current situation was.
Yuanshi immediately picked up the tea in front of Laozi and put it in Laozi's mouth, saying, "Brother, drink some tea." Drink more tea and talk less; you'll understand what's going on.
"Stop, stop, stop, brother knows, so we won't ask anymore." Laozi is a smart man, and he immediately guessed that the water must be very deep. Then again, if the water wasn't deep, Tongtian wouldn't have almost drowned.
“Duobao, the disciples on Jin'ao Island have been behaving very badly lately. They are restless and not focused on cultivation at all. They keep running down the mountain to deliberately enter into tribulations, and they are also getting along very well with the Western Sect. With your master in this situation, the sect is in a state of panic. You should go and calm them down.”
Having spent a long time with Chang Hao, Yuan Shi spoke of these matters without batting an eye, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever, and his demeanor was entirely righteous.
“Shen Gongbao in your sect is very eloquent, and many disciples were invited by him. Duobao, you must remind your junior brothers and sisters not to trust him easily.”
In any case, Yuanshi had done everything he could, good and bad. Even after being reminded, they were still invited down the mountain. It must be their destiny to suffer this calamity. From then on, Yuanshi was completely at peace with himself.
"Yes, Duobao will take his leave now and head to Jin'ao Island to reassure the disciples." Duobao had no doubts.
Indeed, the Jie Sect has recently suffered many deaths and internal strife, making them a laughing stock for many factions in the prehistoric world.
"Yuanshi, what are you doing?" Laozi was confused. How could someone send people to confuse their disciples on one hand, and then remind them on the other?
"Nothing more than peace of mind. Brother, I'll handle Tongtian. You just wait quietly on Kunlun." Yuanshi straightened his clothes and composed himself, preparing to return to Chaoge.
"How long are you going to wait, brother? And what do you plan to do? Tongtian must be in a terrible state right now. If you're still angry, at least wait until he's healed before you make your move." Laozi stared at Yuanshi expectantly, hoping that Yuanshi would soften his heart. "You really don't need any rare treasures to go with you? At least don't let Tongtian suffer."
I'm willing to give away all of this rare treasure myself, and I even wish I could stuff it into Yuanshi's hands, but I'm afraid Yuanshi won't accept it.
“I can refrain from beating Tongtian, but I plan to keep him out for now. I'll let him out once things are more settled, to avoid him causing trouble,” Yuanshi then asked Laozi, “Does elder brother agree?”
Laozi twitched his lips. Yuanshi was determined to drag him into this mess, so he could only lie and say, "I agree." There was no turning back now; he was already on this pirate ship and couldn't get off. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have agreed to Yuanshi's plan in the first place.
"Brother, is there anything else you'd like to know? I'll answer to the best of my ability." Yuanshi promised to answer every question.
"Brother, I won't ask or listen. You decide for yourself. Safety is the most important thing." Laozi immediately surrendered. If he continued to ask, he would have to take the blame for Yuanshi.
"Tongtian left a set of array flags in the Kunlun Mountain warehouse, which can be used to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Array. I wonder if Tongtian has it with him?" Chang Hao must like that set of array flags that can be used in conjunction with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array.
The younger brother will not be released for the time being, but Yuanshi can bribe Chang Hao to improve Tongtian's living conditions. He is truly a good older brother.
"They should be there." Laozi thought for a moment. Tongtian had once said that these flags would not be used unless absolutely necessary, so Tongtian sealed them in the warehouse.
Yuanshi immediately chimed in, "Then I'll trouble you to fetch it, brother. I still need to sort out some trinkets from the storeroom to take to Chaoge, so I'll wait for you in the plum grove."
Laozi's hand, stroking his long beard, froze in mid-air. "How about we try something else?" If he were to dig out Tongtian's most valuable secrets, Tongtian would definitely make his life miserable.
"No need, this will do. I'll wait for my elder brother's good news." Yuanshi stepped out of the Eight Views Palace, then, as if remembering something, turned around and instructed, "Come quickly, or you'll be late." He was eager to return home and had no time to argue with his elder brother.
…………Xiqi…………
Inside the military camp, Jiang Ziya stared at the map in deep thought. If the newly set-up Ten Deadly Formations at Tongguan Pass were not broken, there would be no way to lead the army into the pass.
"Immortal Master, you must help me break through Tongguan. If you need anything, please tell me frankly." Ji Fa had not expected that the Ten Deadly Formations would be so troublesome. If this dragged on, their army would run out of food.
"Rest assured, King Wu, we will do our utmost. With the three religions on your side, our fortunes will prosper, and Xiqi will surely win. King Wu, please be patient," Ran Deng reassured Ji Fa.
Ji Fa smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you all." On the surface, he seemed to trust and rely on him, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel skeptical. He had heard these words so many times that they were practically calloused, but what about victory? He couldn't find a single hair of it.
Neither the Chan Sect nor the Western Sect offered any real help; they only passed the buck to each other. It was hardly like they were genuinely trying to help him… Ji Fa’s gaze fell on Shen Gongbao. Only the disciples of the Jie Sect invited by the Grand Tutor were truly dedicated to their work.
Although he didn't even save his life, this only proves Shen Gongbao's loyalty, which is why he is a trustworthy person.
Ran Deng, representing the Western Sect, continued discussing the Ten Deadly Formations with Guang Chengzi and the others. Seeing that the eleven Golden Immortals refused to enter the formations no matter what, Ran Deng did not dare to force them to enter.
Yuanshi Tianzun is not someone to be trifled with. If his disciple gets into trouble because of him, Yuanshi Tianzun will not let him off the hook. Nor would the two saints offend Yuanshi Tianzun for his sake.
But if we don't send anyone into the formation, how can we find the weakness of the Ten Deadly Formations the moment it unleashes its power, and then overcome it?
Dipankara's gaze fell upon the Jie Sect...
Dingguang Xian looked away. This is not how you seek death. Randeng, you are not being fair. When the eleven Golden Immortals are trapped in the formation, Yuanshi Tianzun will come to their rescue, but their leader will not do that.
Shen Gongbao rubbed his forehead, looking grief-stricken. "My fellow disciples, it's my fault..." He had to put on an act; if he were lucky enough to meet them again on the Investiture of the Gods platform, he wouldn't be beaten up!
