Just then, on the territory of Xiqi, both sides had completed their respective formations, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Among them, the army of Chaoge was imposing and led by Grand Tutor Wen Zhong. His soldiers were all brave and skilled in battle, and their morale was high.
At the very front of this army stood four imposing figures: Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens.
In front of the four people was a terrifying array.
The power emanating from this formation is extremely terrifying, as if it can devour everything.
This is the Ten Deadly Formations, one of the eight great killing formations of the Primordial World, jointly set up by ten Heavenly Lords of the Jie Sect: Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Dong Quan, Yuan Jiao, Golden Light Holy Mother, Sun Liang, Bai Li, Yao Bin, Wang Bian, and Zhang Shao.
In contrast to Chaoge was Xiqi, whose army was equally large and was commanded by King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, and Jiang Ziya.
This army includes a host of powerful figures such as Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, Huang Tianhua, Tu Xingsun, Li Jing, Jinzha, and Muzha.
At the very front of the Xiqi army, ten powerful warriors stood proudly.
They are, respectively, the vice-leader of the Chan Sect, Randeng Daoren, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Julusun, Cihang Zhenren, Puxian Zhenren, Guangchengzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Chijingzi, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and Huanglong Zhenren.
At this moment, the ten immortals had solemn expressions, seemingly discussing in a tense manner how to break the Ten Deadly Formations before them.
Just then, the figures of Yuan Zhexian and Jinling Shengmu appeared before everyone's eyes like ghosts.
Then Yuan Zhexian nodded slightly to Jinling Shengmu.
Seeing this, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit stepped into the terrifying Ten Deadly Formations without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens saw Yuan Zhexian walking out of Biyou Palace from afar, and their faces showed joy.
They hurried forward and eagerly inquired why the Tongtian Sect Leader had summoned Yuan Zhexian.
When asked about his identity, Yuan Zhexian did not offer much explanation, but simply said, "I had a discussion with the Tongtian Sect Leader, after which he appointed me as the Vice Sect Leader of the Jie Sect."
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens.
They stood there stunned, speechless for a moment.
However, just moments later, the astonishment on the four people's faces was replaced by joy.
Bixiao, in particular, was lively by nature and could not contain her joy. She playfully said, "Does that mean I'll have to bow to you and respectfully call you Vice Leader from now on?"
Upon hearing Bixiao's words, Yuan Zhexian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He said slowly, "This is just an empty title. There's no need to take it too seriously. Our relationship is no different from before."
Just then, the Golden Spirit Mother led the Ten Heavenly Lords and Wen Zhong, who had already emerged from the Ten Deadly Formations, over.
Upon seeing Yuan Zhexian, the Ten Heavenly Lords and Wen Zhong quickly bowed and said in unison, "Greetings, Vice Master (Uncle-Master!)!"
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian smiled and nodded in response.
Clearly, the Holy Mother Jinling had already informed them about the matter of the Immortal Yuan.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze swept across the members of the Chan Sect like two cold arrows.
That one glance seemed to pierce through one's soul, sending chills down one's spine.
Finally, his gaze settled on the five people: the sect leader, the Daoist Burning Lamp, Manjushri, Julusun, Cihang Zhenren, and Samantabhadra Zhenren.
An indescribable coldness welled up in his heart, and he sneered inwardly: "Hmph! This is the Buddha and Bodhisattva of the future Buddhism!"
Then, he turned around and said to the Ten Heavenly Lords, "I have issued a decree on Jin'ao Island that no one in the Jie Sect may leave Jin'ao Island within ten years. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Jie Sect forever!"
"Ten Heavenly Lords, you must return to Jin'ao Island immediately."
His voice was cold and stern, leaving no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing this, the Ten Heavenly Kings dared not utter another word.
Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately bowed and clasped their hands, responding in unison, "Yes, Vice Leader!"
Before the words were even finished, the ten people turned around without hesitation and sped off toward Jin'ao Island.
Watching the departing figures of the Ten Heavenly Lords, Yuan Zhexian turned his gaze to Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and the Golden Spirit Mother, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Dao, fellow Daoist, these ten people are entrusted to you."
As he spoke, he pointed to the Taoist Ran Deng, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Julusun, Cihang Zhenren, Puxian Zhenren, and ten others.
Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit exchanged glances. Although they did not speak, their tacit understanding was self-evident.
They quickly unleashed their magical weapons and sped straight towards the ten people.
In fact, Yuan Zhexian's intention in doing this was very clear: to completely settle the karmic debt between them regarding the Investiture of the Gods.
However, with the interference of Yuan Zhexian, the fate of the five of them will change.
Zhao Gongming and Jinling Shengmu were already among the top-tier cultivators in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Not long after, Zhao Gongming successfully captured Huanglong Zhenren with the Dragon Binding Rope. Then, he used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, which contained 48 innate restrictions, to trap Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Julusun, Cihang Zhenren, and Puxian Zhenren in succession.
Finally, together with the Holy Mother Jinling, they relentlessly pursued the Taoist Ran Deng.
Meanwhile, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao directly confronted the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, including Guangchengzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Chijingzi, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, using the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.
Even Yang Jian, Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi came to help Guang Chengzi and the others.
This breathtaking scene shocked everyone in Xiqi, especially Jiang Ziya, whose face turned ashen.
