Chapter 115: Alliances and Alliances◇
◎The Five Saints Arrive◎
Penglai
After going through untold hardships, Zhao Gongming and his three siblings finally got out of the Zhuxian Formation and felt the taste of freedom. The children, who had been suffocating for a long time, couldn't wait to go out and travel.
They were the second group to come out of the Zhuxian Formation. The four great disciples who came out of the first group had already disappeared long ago.
The four of them bowed in the direction of Biyou Palace and began to think about where to go first. After discussion, they decided to go back to Wuzhuangguan to visit their old father Hongyun.
On the way, Zhao Gongming received a letter from his old friend Wen Zhong, asking him to go to the Shang Dynasty to help.
Zhao Gongming bid farewell to his three sisters and headed for the Shang Dynasty.
The three sisters returned to Wuzhuang Temple. Hongyun, who had converted Wuzhuang Temple into a kindergarten, was very happy to see them, but felt something was not right. After counting, she found that Zhao Gongming was missing.
Hongyun was very unhappy, thinking that boys were not as considerate as delicate and soft girls. However, as an old father, he could not favor girls over boys, so he symbolically calculated Zhao Gongming's whereabouts.
It turned out that he went to fight with others and was beaten up by a group of people. How pitiful.
Hongyun became even more unhappy. It was shameless for twelve people to fight against Zhao Gongming alone. It would be a miracle if they could win.
None of the children raised by Hongyun had ever lost a fight, so he hurriedly urged the three sisters to rush to Yin Shang to help Zhao Gongming.
The three sisters had no choice but to go as they were told, and saw Zhao Gongming single-handedly challenging the twelve golden immortals of the Chan sect.
Zhao Gongming is the incarnation of Qingfeng. He is talented and well-connected. Even among the Jiejiao sect which is full of masters, he is a leader. However, he cannot withstand the overwhelming numerical strength of the opponent, and the quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Instead of going to help Zhao Gongming first, they found Wen Zhong and asked him what had happened and why his brother had gone to war with the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!
Wen Zhong also felt aggrieved. After Zhao Gongming arrived, he was met by the disciples of the Chan sect in the Shang camp before he even saw him.
As soon as they met, it was like sparks and lightning. At first, it was a verbal fight, but later it turned into a physical fight. When the disciples of the Xianjiao were fighting, they also called the disciples of the Xianjiao in Xiqi next door, gathered the Twelve Golden Immortals, and went to find Zhao Gongming in a mighty manner.
Zhao Gongming was not afraid at all. He took out his precious Dragon Binding Rope and tied up Guangchengzi first. Then he took out twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls and knocked Chijingzi unconscious. However, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were not to be trifled with. After a brief moment of confusion, they quickly reacted and fought back.
In short, Zhao Gongming is having a hard time coping now.
Wen Zhong also found it difficult to understand. In his cognition, he always thought that the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect were both mysterious sects and were both disciples of the Three Pure Ones, so they should be a close family. Who knew that they would get along so cruelly.
He asked Yunxiao cautiously, "White lotus roots, red flowers, green lotus leaves, the three religions are all one family. Are the uncles taking their battles too seriously?"
Yunxiao sneered, they are a fucking family. When they were young, their relationship with the disciples of the Chan Sect was acceptable, but that was only before they kept saying contemptuous words like "wet-born and egg-hatched" all day long.
The deep brotherly love between the teacher and the uncle is a matter between them, and has nothing to do with the fact that the disciples of the Jiejiao and the Chanjiao have no contact with each other until they die.
She blinked at Wen Zhong, "Since you are a disciple of Senior Sister Jin Ling, don't you know that the two sects have always been at odds?"
You can tell something by looking at the fact that both the Chan and Ren sects live in Kunlun, while the Jie sect moved to Penglai.
Wen Zhong really didn't know. After hearing the big news from his master, all he could think of was "Wow". He didn't feel too sorry, but was just worried about how he would get along with Jiang Ziya in the future.
They were determined to never have any contact with each other, but Yunxiao also understood that the fight between his brother and the disciples of the Chan Sect was not the fault of one side alone, and the blame could not be put solely on the disciples of the Chan Sect.
Yunxiao frowned and rushed into the entangled group of people. He set up a Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, trapping everyone including Zhao Gongming.
Meanwhile, Wen Zhong found Jiang Ziya and told him, "No matter what happens to your master, Ziya, you will always be my friend."
Jiang Ziya was deeply moved and held Wen Zhong's hand tightly with tears in his eyes: "The friendship between Ziya and the Grand Master will never change!"
The two looked at each other affectionately, unaware that Shen Gongbao next door was almost dying of anxiety.
Before leaving, the disciples of the Chan sect in Xiqi told him that they were going to help their fellow brothers on the opposite side fight, and would be back in a few days. However, they have not returned until now, so he secretly went to take a look and found that the Twelve Golden Immortals were all trapped in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
He also came from the Jiejiao Sect and understood the power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. He didn't know that Zhao Gongming was also in it. Now he was afraid that the Twelve Golden Immortals would really die in it.
If that's the case, things will really get out of hand.
After realizing that things were about to develop in an irreversible direction, he first sent a message to Kong Shuang.
In order to avoid hurting innocent people, Kong Shuang and Zhunti had already fought to the third level. Her mind was all on why Zhunti's cultivation level improved so much after rebuilding his physical body. At that time, she received a letter from Shen Gongbao.
At first, he was really afraid that something might happen to the Twelve Golden Immortals, so he did some calculations and found out that Zhao Gongming was also among them. He knew there was no need to worry and focused all his attention on fighting with Zhunti.
However, Shen Gongbao never received a reply from Kong Shuang. Thinking that Kong Shuang was also fighting with Zhunti and might not have time to take care of him, he thought of another person - Minghe!
Kong Shuang had told him before that if he encountered any problems, he could look for Minghe.
He asked the Styx to rescue the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Minghe glanced at him sideways, flatly refused, and asked: "The Jiejiao saint has boundless magical powers, why don't you invite the saint?"
Shen Gongbao knew in his heart that if this matter really reached the ears of the Sage, it would be truly irreversible. Moreover, the Sage knew everything. If he had the will, would he not know? If he wanted to take action, he would have taken action long ago!
He had no choice but to ask Duobao for help.
Duobao left the Zhuxian Formation earlier than Sanxiao and the others. At this time, he was accompanying Yutong to visit Xihe and Changxi, who had been staying indoors for a long time, on Taiyin Star. After receiving the message from Shen Gongbao, he immediately arrived in front of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
Yun Xiao and the others were surprised when they saw him and asked, "Why are you here, Senior Brother?"
Duobao smiled and nodded to his junior sister, saying, "Let's enter the formation first!"
When a few people entered, they saw formations that stretched across the sky and earth, with a force that shook the Yellow River. A cold wind blew and invaded people, and black fog filled the air, obscuring the sun and moon.
Zhao Gongming and the Twelve Golden Immortals did not fight. They sat in two different places and ignored each other.
More than ten people on the other side united, encouraged each other, and tried to break the formation.
Zhao Gongming sat alone on the side and said, "Don't waste your energy. My sister set up the formation herself, and even I can't get out."
Duobao was almost furious when he saw this scene, and said calmly: "So you also know this. If so, do you know that you are wrong?"
Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly jumped up and said with a smile: "Senior brother is here."
Duobao gave him a displeased look, then turned and bowed to the Twelve Golden Immortals: "Excuse me, fellow Taoists."
The Twelve Golden Immortals looked at each other in bewilderment. Since the other party was being polite, they couldn't afford to show off. Finally, the leader, Guangchengzi, snorted softly, "Since you're here, why don't you let us go out into the battle?"
They are almost suffocating in this damn place. The people of Jiejiao are really cruel. When they get angry, they don't distinguish between friend and foe.
Duobao curled his lips into a faint smile, his tone suddenly sharp: "It's not that easy to leave!"
The Twelve Golden Immortals' expressions changed, and they glared at Duobao. After all, they grew up together. Guangchengzi immediately understood what he meant and frowned, "What do you want?"
Duobao's smile widened. He glanced at his equally puzzled fellow disciples and said, "With the Western Sect watching covetously, how can we, the Daoist sect, fight among ourselves? What do you think, Daoist friend?"
Guangchengzi and others immediately understood what he meant. He wanted them to deal with the West.
Duobao added, "There's no rush for this matter. Fellow Daoist, please consider it carefully. We'll immediately deploy the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation as soon as you give us your nod."
The subtext is that if they don’t nod, they can’t get out!
Guangchengzi was silent for a while and exchanged glances with his fellow disciples.
To be honest, they hate the West more than the Jiejiao. The reason is simple: this hatred is passed down from their bones. After all, their teacher also hates the West very much.
This choice was easy to make. Guangchengzi looked around at his fellow disciples, then turned around and nodded heavily at Duobao in a displeased manner.
Duobao didn't care about his attitude and said to Yunxiao, "Junior sister, withdraw!"
The smile is very sincere.
Zhunti was not there at the moment, so how could a mere group of Western followers be enough to kill him together with the core disciples of the orthodox and evil sects?
The only thing they had to worry about was that they were afraid that the Western believers would be frightened by their reputation and dare not fight, so they sent the Three Sisters, who had a very deceptive appearance, to challenge them.
When the Western followers heard that several extremely beautiful but delicate female cultivators outside were threatening to challenge them, they came out to see if it was true. They shamelessly said, "How dare a mere disabled woman speak so arrogantly?"
Yunxiao curled his lips and sneered. Before he could say a word, he trapped the man in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Then the Twelve Golden Immortals went in with swords in hand and started killing people indiscriminately.
The remaining Western believers refused to believe it and went out of the city gate to ask Yunxiao to return their fellow disciples. Yunxiao did the same thing and the Twelve Golden Immortals started killing people again.
Within a few days, Jiang Ziya's KPI performance in the List of Gods was gratifying.
For a moment, Jiang Ziya was filled with gratitude towards Jiejiao.
The Twelve Golden Immortals who worked as coolies: ...How come their Xianjiao had such an oddball?
At this moment, Zhunti, who was enjoying the battle with Kong Shuang, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and the movement of his hands stopped for a breath.
When masters fight, the outcome can be decided in the blink of an eye. The next second, Kong Shuang's sword, which was as fast as lightning but heavier than Mount Tai, stabbed him directly, leaving him cold to the core.
Zhunti groaned, his face pale as he lowered his eyes and looked towards the prehistoric world. He didn't care about his injuries and wanted to return to the prehistoric world.
Kong Shuang was unhappy. She could tell that Zhunti was distracted and that was why she stabbed him. She angrily said, "What do you mean? Don't you want to fight me? Do you look down on me?"
Zhunti was so angry that he turned around and glared at her: "There is nothing to say to you!"
Kong Shuang already knew what had happened, and immediately gloated over it, chasing after him: "Don't leave, it won't help if you go back now anyway, stay and let's finish the fight."
Zhunti had an ugly look on his face and didn't want to get entangled with her, so he turned around and left. In the blink of an eye he returned to the prehistoric world, and Kong Shuang followed.
Many of the precious disciples in the West were included in the list of gods. Not only Zhunti was moved, but Lian Yin also came.
Jie Yin had an ugly expression on his face, and next to him was Ming He who also had an ugly expression on his face.
Zhunti ignored Minghe's face and asked directly: "Minghe, what's wrong with you? I'm not in Honghuang, so I left you to protect my disciples. Is this how you protect your disciples? Have you changed your mind?"
Minghe clenched his fists in his sleeves. He had originally intended to deal with the situation and wanted to enter the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to rescue a few people. However, as soon as he entered the formation, he was mistaken for a Western disciple and was hit on the head with the Fantian Seal.
The Fantian Seal was made from half of Mount Buzhou, and combined with the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it was indeed extraordinary. He was in a daze for a while, who knew that the Twelve Golden Immortals would act so quickly? When he woke up, the Western disciples had already been included in the List of Gods.
After all, he underestimated these little brats.
Kong Shuang curled his lips and said, "The battle between the younger generations is originally based on their own abilities. You still blame him for not saving you in time. Can't you afford to lose?"
Minghe didn't expect Kong Shuang to speak for him. He looked at her with emotion.
Zhunti thought of what Minghe had said about the past between him and Kong Shuang, and alarm bells immediately rang in his heart. Fearing that Minghe's heart would lean towards Kong Shuang again, he quickly changed the subject.
"Brother, how should we deal with them?"
It was about the Twelve Golden Immortals, who came to be led away quickly. When they arrived, the Twelve Golden Immortals had not had time to withdraw from the Zhuxian Formation and were caught red-handed by him.
A few clever people from Jiejiao ran away as soon as they found something wrong. At this time, they were hiding behind Kong Shuang, looking very comfortable.
The Twelve Golden Immortals almost bit their teeth. They clearly did the deed together, so why were they the only ones caught? They just watched the Jiejiao sect on the other side gloating.
Jie Yin pondered for a moment, glanced at the Twelve Golden Immortals, and found that their cultivation was very good. It would be a pity to kill them all at once. Moreover, he saw that several of them had a strong affinity with the Western religion.
"Take him back to the West and get ordained first!"
Kong Shuang burst out laughing, feeling a little sympathetic to Yuanshi. He really wanted to know his expression when he saw his disciple became a monk.
Zhunti saw her laughing happily, and he felt as if he was holding his breath. He snorted coldly and said to the Jiejiao people, "You are lucky today."
After that, he said to Kong Shuang: "Kong Shuang, you have to watch them carefully. It's best not to take your eyes away for a moment, otherwise... hum!"
Jie Yin didn't want Zhunti and Kong Shuang to waste so much time talking, so he urged them to leave quickly.
Kong Shuang was amused and raised his chin towards the captured Twelve Golden Immortals. "After all, they are Yuanshi's disciples. I advise you not to try to ferry them to the West. It would be better to use them to negotiate terms with Yuanshi. Maybe you can even get a few magic weapons."
"Besides, the Conferred God List is in the hands of the Chan Sect. Since your disciples are on the Conferred God List, befriending Yuanshi will also help them get a good position, right?"
He already has enough disciples in the Heavenly Palace! Zhunti took a deep breath: "Would you be so kind?"
Kong Shuang suddenly smiled, revealing two dimples. He looked behind him and sighed, "Alas—it's too late for me to be kind. You captured someone's apprentice, and now the teacher is looking for trouble with you."
Suddenly, he heard bursts of celestial music, a resounding sound of singing. Zhunti looked back and saw white cranes and blue phoenixes leading the way, with fairy children playing flutes on both sides. In the curling mist, Yuanshi arrived riding a nine-dragon agarwood chariot.
Before the person arrived, the voice came first: "You two are so brave!"
He came out with a majestic aura holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in one hand and the Pangu Banner in the other.
Jie Yin immediately understood that Kong Shuang was stalling for time to wait for Yuan Shi to come over, and he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Why are you here, Senior Brother?"
Yuanshi didn't want to pay attention to him, and the Sanbao Jade Ruyi fell directly on him.
"Wait a minute."
Laozi suddenly appeared riding a green bull. Although he was not as graceful as Yuanshi, he had a different kind of immortal air.
Kong Shuang frowned slightly, turned his head and coughed lightly.
No matter what, you have to put in some superficial effort and not give others any handle to hold against you.
Duobao understood and was the first to bow to the two of them, saying, "Respectfully welcome, two great masters!"
With Duobao's example, Zhao Gongming and his three siblings also followed suit and saluted.
Laozi said, "You all stand up." After saying that, he looked at Yuanshi with a smile.
Yuanshi's face looked a little ugly. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Well, get up."
He asked again, "Why are you here, brother?"
Laozi said nothing, raised his head and looked at the sky. In the distance, a green light suddenly appeared, and he came with auspicious clouds, accompanied by seven fairies.
Kong Shuang couldn't help but smile. She was just thinking that now that these two of the Three Pure Ones had arrived, it would be difficult to miss one of them.
But now that the Five Saints have arrived, if she hadn't known that Yuanshi and the Two Saints of the West were having a falling out, she would have thought it was a reappearance of the plot in the original novel, and that these people were working together to break the Zhuxian Formation.
