Chapter 413 Picking Flowers
"Cihang..." Seeing this, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun quickly followed and ran inside, while Chijingzi didn't care about the fear in his heart.
“Dingguangxian, you…” Taiyi Zhenren almost started fighting with Dingguangxian on the spot.
"Stop fooling around, you'll make a fool of yourself. Go inside now, we'll settle this when you come out..." Guang Chengzi grabbed Taiyi by the back of his collar.
"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you when I get out." Taiyi Zhenren glared at Dingguang Xian and quickly ran into the Ten Deadly Formations.
"Taiyi, be careful..."
As soon as Taiyi Zhenren entered the formation, a cold spear shot as swift as lightning struck him. Taiyi narrowly dodged it, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back as he was stomped into the ground. Then, his head felt heavy, and he followed in the footsteps of the three people in front of him, having his three flowers removed from his head by Chang Hao, who then casually tossed them aside.
Chi Jingzi, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and Cihang were originally huddled together, trembling, when Taiyi crashed down from the sky, and now it was the four of them huddled together, trembling.
"Consider yourselves lucky, we won't send you to the Investiture of the Gods." Chang Hao patted the Hongmeng Pearl reassuringly; having three flowers to eat is already pretty good.
The four members of the Red Essence Sect had slightly red eyes and dared not utter a sound. Was this considered good luck? What if they were unlucky? The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, tens of thousands of years of cultivation, all gone in one day. It was incredibly heartbreaking.
Tongtian, inside the Zhuxian pendant, felt sorry for his fellow disciples. They were really unlucky. At least he still had his cultivation.
Chang Hao controlled the Ten Deadly Formations to gather the Yin wind and killing intent, creating a state where the formation was on the verge of collapse, intending to lure in a few more people.
“The four Cihang disciples went in and haven’t come out yet. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case.” Randeng was restless. After all, he had confidently claimed to have found the flaw in the Ten Deadly Formations. If something happened to the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, he would really have a hard time explaining himself.
After observing for a while, he noticed that the white mist surrounding the formation was gradually dissipating, and Randeng suspected that the four people might be inside dividing up the spoils of war.
"Golden Cicada, White Lotus Boy, you two go in and take a look." Randeng was somewhat displeased; those four were really showing too little respect for the Western Sect.
He also wondered if he would still have a position if he tried to recruit them into the Western religion as originally planned.
Jin Chanzi and Bai Lian Tongzi stepped forward. "We will go in now. If we do not come out for a long time, we hope that you fellow Daoists will lend a helping hand."
“No problem,” Lü Yue said, raising his chin slightly. “If you hadn’t come out, I would have entered the formation to rescue you.”
Master Puxian and Julusun silently stepped forward and followed behind Jin Chanzi and Bailian Tongzi. They joked that they were not comfortable letting the two Westerners go in; what if they shot them in the back?
“Very good, four more have arrived,” Chang Hao said, raising his spear and looking around at the four men. “I do not kill nameless people with my spear. State your names.”
"Jin Chanzi..."
"White lotus..."
“Samantabhadra…”
“Fearing that the grandson…”
"I've learned a lot from you, fellow Daoist..."
“Very good…” Chang Hao lowered his eyes and suddenly thrust out his spear, aiming straight for Jin Chanzi’s vital point.
Jin Chanzi had no way to avoid it and was instantly killed. He was powerless to resist, and his hard-won cultivation and physical body instantly dissipated, turning into nourishment for the Hongmeng Pearl.
Everyone present changed their expressions drastically. Taiyi and the others, who had their three flowers cut off, finally understood why Fellow Daoist Chang Hao had said they were lucky. They almost burst into tears. It turned out that they were really lucky; at least they were still alive.
The gray haze on the Hongmeng Pearl lessened slightly, changing its previous heaviness and revealing a touch of ethereal beauty.
Samantabhadra, Julusun, and the White Lotus Boy turned ashen-faced and fled. They were utterly outmatched...
Chang Hao suddenly appeared before the three of them. "Fellow Daoist, where do you intend to go?"
The White Lotus Child quietly untied the cloth bag, then ran wildly in the opposite direction. Tens of thousands of blood-red wings and black patterns flew out, and as usual, he set his sights on the most 'delicious' person present.
Chang Hao threw his spear directly at Bai Lian Tong Zi's heart. Then, he looked at the swarm of mosquitoes in front of him with disgust. Golden flames blazed up, and before the black-patterned creature could even scream, it was engulfed in flames and turned into thin air.
These mosquitoes are cursed and shrouded in darkness; they deserve to die.
Master Puxian and Julusun trembled so much they could barely hold their weapons, watching helplessly as the god of death, engulfed in flames, approached them. The horrific sight of the White Lotus Child and the Golden Cicada was still vivid in their minds. They... they...
"Master, save me..."
"Stop shouting," Chang Hao put his hand on Ju Liusun's shoulder, recalled his spear with his right hand, casually knocked away the three flowers of Puxian Zhenren who was overestimating himself and swung his sword at him, kicked him aside and left.
“My, my master is Yuanshi Tianzun, you, you killed me, my master he, he, he…” Ju Liusun became stuttering.
"I won't kill you..." Chang Hao smiled, "but I can't let you go either." No wonder the Primordial Celestial Venerable said it was unnecessary when he solemnly faced the Twelve Golden Immortals; it really was unnecessary.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ju Liusun lost the three flowers on his head and was pushed by Chang Hao to the territory where Taiyi and the others were imprisoned.
“Seven…” Chang Hao’s expression was inscrutable. He had picked the three flowers from seven people. Was he going to gather twelve?
"What seven?" Taiyi Zhenren asked bravely. Since Fellow Daoist Chang Hao hadn't attacked them, they should be able to wait safely until their master came to rescue them.
Chang Hao stopped answering and threw out tattered cloth bags and several people's jade crowns outside the formation. If there were no jade crowns, he would just tear off a piece of cloth at random, intending to provoke the people of the three religions outside the formation. This was an opportunity that would not come again.
A series of clanging sounds rang out, and when everyone looked closely, they were immediately in an uproar.
"They've perished!!!"
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian quietly hid himself behind him. It was all over. Ci Hang was pushed in by him.
Will Yuanshi Tianzun hold him accountable?
Guang Chengzi's face was ashen. He walked into the formation without saying a word. He was going to rescue his junior brothers. It should still be in time.
"Senior Brother, you can't go." Huang Long stopped Guang Chengzi, Guang Chengzi couldn't be harmed.
“Yes, Senior Brother, if none of us can get out, please return to Kunlun Mountain and ask our Master for help.” Grand Master Lingbao resolutely decided to enter the formation.
"Wait," Shen Gongbao stopped Grand Master Lingbao, "Brother, please calm down."
Shen Gongbao looked at Lü Yue with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Alright," Lü Yue said impatiently, "I'll go and meet him." The Chan Sect and the Western Sect have suffered heavy losses, and the Jie Sect can't afford to send anyone.
Luo Xuan stepped forward, "I will go with you to find out who this Fellow Daoist Chang Hao is."
Shen Gongbao took a step back and whispered, "My two senior brothers, you must be very careful. If things go wrong, don't worry about saving face, just turn around and run."
"Don't worry, junior brother." Luo Xuan felt a warmth in his heart; his junior brother Shen Gongbao truly cared for him.
"Let's see how Senior Brother retrieves the snake body of that Meishan monster. It's gone too far!" Lü Yue gritted his teeth. Where did this nobody come from, daring to speak so arrogantly in front of them?
"Alright, junior brother, wait for your good news, senior brother." Shen Gongbao's eyes were earnest. "Please take good care of yourself."
Chang Hao couldn't help but chuckle. Shen Gongbao was truly quirky and clever. However, he hoped that the truth would never be revealed, otherwise, Shen Gongbao would probably never have a peaceful day.
