Chapter 143 Little Peach Branch, you've gone mad! The rest of you, form ranks with me! ...
Dongjun was filled with wicked anger and felt that Bitao was simply a demon.
If it weren't for her obsessive pursuit stirring up Mingguang's five aggregates, the Golden Crow clan's innate bloodline of breaking through illusions and awakening the spirit would not have caused him to lose his mind and indiscriminately commit murder due to the intense burning of the five aggregates, thus becoming tainted by karma.
Their relationship was truly a tragic one!
But when Dongjun returned to the ship, he saw Bitao and Mingguang coming out of the cabin one after the other.
Before Dongjun could even step forward, he saw Bitao's swollen eyes from crying.
Mingguang followed closely behind Bitao, took her arm, and said, "Little Peach Branch, shall we try again tomorrow?"
"I've already consumed over a dozen Golden Spirit Immortal Pearls. You've run out of Golden Spirit Immortal Pearls in your reserves. Are you going to go and capture someone to retrieve them?"
Bitao appeared calm, but her words lacked rationality: "There must still be Golden Spirit Immortal Pearls in the Immortal Alliance. I'll take people to snatch them back for you."
"Little Peach Branch, wake up! The Immortal Alliance has been entrenched in Fallen City for hundreds of years. They are deeply rooted and powerful. How can you possibly fight them with just a few people under your command?"
"If I accidentally take someone's life, will you also suffer the karmic consequences like me?!"
Without turning her head, Bitao shouted, "That's not so bad! Let's do it together."
Bitao turned to look at Mingguang, her expression crazed: "If that's really the case, we can still be a mortal couple for one lifetime, and after death we won't enter the underworld for reincarnation. If Heaven forces us to become abandoned spirits of heaven and earth, I will harvest the life force of the souls of people in this world to prolong my life without a soul!"
"Even if one becomes a demonic cultivator, wreaking havoc on the world, one can still unite heaven and earth. What's wrong with that?!"
As Bitao finished speaking, a fierce flash of five thunderbolts appeared in the sky.
Clearly, Bitao, being a celestial being, had angered the Five Thunders with her provocative words against the Heavenly Dao, prompting them to issue a thunderous warning.
"Little Peach Branch, have you gone mad!"
Mingguang approached Bitao from behind, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and back, held her tightly in his embrace, and covered her mouth.
He whispered in her ear to comfort her, saying, "It's just karma coming back to bite you. There's nothing to be afraid of. There's always a way."
"Don't I still have you? You'll protect me, right?"
Mingguang said, "Let's not make any more futile attempts. Let's preserve the Golden Spirit Immortal Pearl. When we get to the Nine Heavens Palace... Xu Xingshen can choose who to ascend to, so he must have a way to resist the backlash of cause and effect."
Moreover, Mingguang really couldn't eat the "Golden Spirit Immortal Pearl" anymore; it was too sweet.
Bitao stopped, leaned against Mingguang's chest, closed her eyes, and her expression was one of indescribable sorrow.
When Dongjun heard what Mingguang said, he felt a buzzing in his head and a long ringing in his ears.
He felt as if he could not stand up.
His brother really suffered the consequences of karma...
Looking at Bitao, who was about to vent her anger, he realized she was even more irrational than her younger brother. As a celestial immortal, she had already spoken of cultivating demonic and evil arts to defy the Heavenly Dao. What more could Dongjun possibly criticize her for?
The intense burning of the five afflictions is simply a result of one's own lack of resolve, so how can it really be blamed on Bitao?
Standing at the stern of the ship, Dongjun, who had never known fear before, felt a sense of dread welling up from the bottom of his heart.
A kind of fear of having just gained a loved one, only to lose them again.
It was in this unexpected and unfortunate situation that he experienced the pain of "separation from loved ones and unfulfilled desires" in the human world.
Just then, a joyful cry came from a cabin not far from them.
"I've regained my spiritual energy! I've regained my spiritual energy!"
"Hahahaha! I'm going to be a force to be reckoned with again, able to command the wind and rain!"
Upon hearing the sound, Dongjun turned his head sharply. He already knew that the little blind boy raised by Bitao was enjoying dissecting immortal corpses and had even made the arrogant statement that he could transfer immortal veins and create immortal positions.
Dongjun has always scoffed at this, believing that if immortal positions could be created, the three realms of the heavens would become a joke passed down for millions of years.
He thought that Bitao had instructed the blind boy to find people to act and create momentum in order to win people's hearts.
But at this moment, "the knife has cut his own vital point," and it is his younger brother who suffers the karmic backlash.
There's a saying in the world that no one will pray to gods or Buddhas unless they're at their wits' end.
Dongjun himself is a "god or Buddha," but now if someone says there is a temple where he can go in, bow and kowtow three times and then nine times, and his brother will be restored, he will grovel and prostrate himself on the ground, kneeling for a long time.
Dongjun, as if grasping at a straw, rushed straight into the little blind man's house.
Grabbing the arm of the man who had just shouted in ecstasy, he directly probed into his meridians with his spiritual energy.
A moment later, Dongjun took a step back in utter shock.
This person... the meridians in this person's body are completely inconsistent with his spiritual attributes.
All living beings in the world possess the five elements, including mortals.
However, only when the spiritual energy of the five elements in the Xuanxing Realm is exceptionally abundant can the innate attributes be activated, allowing all living things to cultivate by borrowing the spiritual energy floating in the air.
The person before me was born with an earth element, but the "immortal meridian" that was now circulating again in his body was of the fire element!
"Hey, who are you! Let go of me!"
The man's arm was almost broken by Dongjun; he would never have dared to provoke such a "celestial lord".
But considering that he had already recovered his spiritual power, this man was also arrogant.
He activated the newly connected immortal veins, mobilized spiritual energy to attack Dongjun, and forced him to let go.
However, because his new meridians had not yet adapted, he was so frustrated that he could only unleash a fireball the size of a palm, which landed on Dong Jun's sleeve.
Dongjun's robes remained completely undamaged, but this weak and laughable "spiritual fire" instantly ignited Dongjun's hope.
His mood could be described as ecstatic.
If Mingguang can use this to restore his "immortal spirit", what does it matter if he can't get through the Five Thunder Formation?
At worst, Dongjun can treat him as a "transcendent demon" and take him back to Shangqing Realm to be imprisoned and guarded.
Throughout the millennia, a way to atone for sins and a chance to be reborn will always be found!
Dongjun slowly turned his head, his gaze towards Taiji burning as if he were looking at his "lifelong love".
Dongjun released the immortal position that had been jumping around merrily after the transfer of immortal veins.
Approaching Tai Chi, who was currently cleaning his knives in preparation for the next transition technique: "Little blind man... your name is Tai Chi, right?"
When Taiji met Dongjun's scarlet eyes, which were like rolling lava, he sensed danger and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Tai Chi glanced towards the doorway, swallowed hard, and said, holding his knife, "Don't come any closer. I'm telling you, I'm very good with a knife."
"You wouldn't even take half a cup of tea to dismantle you!"
Dongjun stood not far from Taiji, and he couldn't stand the sight of this little blind man no matter how he looked at him.
Looking at him now is like seeing "divine light".
To ensure that his younger brother's new immortal veins would not have any "bad consequences," he had to find a way to bring the little blind boy along as well.
In an instant, Dongjun conjured up several ways to threaten and seduce this little fairy.
But before it could be put into practice, the spirit boat suddenly made a loud "boom".
Something powerful suddenly crashed into the hull of the spirit boat, causing it to shake violently.
The knives that Taiji was cleaning fell to the ground, but as if he had been prepared, he calmly and slowly used his spiritual energy to arrange the knives into a line, and they flew steadily into the knife pouch at his waist.
With a "crack," the layers of barriers around the ship shattered.
Outside, shouts of "lining up in formation" and "activating magical artifacts" filled the air!
Dongjun shifted his position and stepped out of the house, where he saw several spirit boats hovering in mid-air not far away, forming an encirclement around their spirit boats.
The Celestial Master Han Shang, along with his men, surrounded Bi Tao and quickly reported, "Fairy Bi Tao is from the Immortal Alliance."
"I don't know who spread the word that everyone in our group has a spare Immortal Pearl, and that the fairy has thousands of Immortal Pearls, which has aroused the evil intentions of these thieves!"
“Fairy, the enemy has a large number of people and their magical artifacts have been accumulated over many years, and are inexhaustible.”
"The barrier on the ship is about to shatter completely. The best course of action now is to escape back to Luofan City!"
Standing at the bow of the boat, Bitao listened to the report from the Dharma Protector Han Shang. Her already turbulent emotions, already stirred by the karmic backlash from Mingguang, were now reduced to madness.
She glanced around at the spirit boats surrounding them and chuckled softly, "Escape? I was just looking for them."
"Going into the city to find them might harm the civilians and make it difficult to take action. They dare to come out of the city and attack us first. Isn't this a golden opportunity?"
"If I remember correctly, the Sun of the Immortal Alliance belongs to the Metal element, right?"
Bitao said, "Mingguang, go back to the cabin and wait. I'll kill that damned alliance leader for you and dig out his immortal pearl for you to eat like candy!"
"Little Peach Branch, you can't win. Most of the people you've recruited are still observing the outcome of the immortal vein transfer. What do you have to fight against them with!"
"Little Peach Branch!"
Bitao turned around, activated her spiritual energy, and directly silenced Mingguang.
Mingguang, unable to speak, started pulling at Bitao again.
His anxiety at this moment was genuine. The enemy had so many people and was unleashing a constant stream of magical artifacts. At this moment, the spiritual light of the artifacts overlapped and poured down, creating a dazzling spectacle that, while seemingly beautiful, was also chillingly menacing.
The restrictions on their spirit boat have been broken through more than a dozen times in the blink of an eye.
They absolutely cannot win in a fight!
No matter how capable Xiao Taozhi is, even if she had anticipated that these people would come and made arrangements, Mingguang discussed the next steps with her every night and had a complete understanding of how many people Xiao Taozhi had and their strength.
Mingguang couldn't let her rashly confront the Immortal Alliance.
Even if it ends in a fierce draw, pushing through will result in serious injuries.
But in the next instant, the wood spirit formed a lock, binding Mingguang tightly from head to toe.
He lacks spiritual energy and cannot break free at all.
A pair of golden eyes, always shining brightly, revealed a sharp look as they silently stared at Little Peach Branch.
Bitao merely glanced at him indifferently.
He said to Han Shang, "Have someone take him into the cabin and leave a few people to guard and protect him."
Mingguang was unable to speak or move; he could do nothing but glare angrily at the headstrong Xiaotaozhi.
He was carried back into the cabin like a pillar.
Then Bitao turned around and glanced at the group of people who were leaving the cabin one after another. She accurately located Guanghan and said, "Guanghan, calculate the location."
"The rest of you, form ranks and prepare for battle!"
There were dozens of people on the spirit boat, and apart from Mingguang's initial attempt to stop her, not a single person tried to dissuade Bitao from her futile act of throwing an egg against a rock.
Among the crowd, including the two immortals whose immortal veins had just been restored, everyone spoke up and responded in unison, "Yes!"
Dongjun stood at the door of Taiji's room, watching this scene with a sense of awe.
These people... had only been gathered around Bitao for a short time.
They've come to trust her to such an extent that, even in a situation where death is imminent, they obey her orders without hesitation!
