Chapter 144

Jin'ao Island.

Biyou Palace.

Tongtian had been paying attention to Gu Xiu's movements on Three Immortals Island from time to time during this period, and finding that it had been very quiet recently without much tossing, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that he came over with Duobao, Tongtian was very confused.

After paying respects to Tongtian, Duobao told Tongtian about the Chan Sect's recent movements and the matter of going to Jade Void Palace to deliver Shen Gongbao's head.

Tongtian was slightly stunned, not expecting that Gu Xiu had killed Shen Gongbao and also let Duobao return the head and belongings to the Chan Sect, although it was a bit damaging.

But such a slap in the face to the Chan Sect made Tongtian feel secretly refreshed in his heart.

"I remember that not long ago, Jade Void Palace announced to the Three Realms that Shen Gongbao had betrayed the sect and that everyone in the Three Realms could execute him."

"You killed him and returned the head to Jade Void Palace, which can be considered as helping the Chan Sect clear out a traitor. Your Second Uncle should thank you."

"However, he didn't reward you with anything, which is a bit unreasonable." Tongtian seemed a bit dissatisfied and said: "So many years have passed, and your Second Uncle still hasn't changed at all, still as stingy as ever. When I see your Second Uncle later, I will ask him for the reward for you killing the traitor for the Chan Sect."

"Thank you, Master." Duobao bowed and saluted.

"Thank you, Grand Ancestor." Gu Xiu also bowed slightly, looking respectful on the surface, but thinking in his heart.

Shen Gongbao was a pawn of the Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods. Yuanshi Tianzun hated the Jie Sect for killing Shen Gongbao, so how could he possibly give a reward.

And the Three Pure Ones would soon turn against each other, so Tongtian probably wouldn't have the chance to ask Yuanshi Tianzun for this reward.

Although he thought so in his heart, Gu Xiu didn't dare to say these words to Tongtian.

After reporting to Tongtian, Duobao stood aside, wanting to see what Gu Xiu wanted to say to Tongtian.

Tongtian sat on the futon above and looked at Gu Xiu, asking.

"Gu Xiu, do you have something to do coming here this time?"

Gu Xiu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Grand Ancestor, this disciple does have something to do coming here today."

Tongtian knew that Gu Xiu wouldn't come to find him for no reason. If it were the business of other disciples, he might not have any interest at all.

But Gu Xiu was someone even Nüwa valued, and he had many secrets, perhaps he was the glimmer of life for the Jie Sect he was looking for, so Tongtian was very curious about why Gu Xiu was looking for him.

"Gu Xiu, what is the matter for which you are looking for me?"

"Grand Ancestor, coming here this time, this disciple wants to ask one thing. If the Chan Sect disciples kill Jie Sect disciples again, can we kill them back?"

Hearing this, Tongtian fell silent.

He had also noticed before that Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao had fought with the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

But they didn't kill them, so he didn't take it to heart.

But now that the Chan Sect disciples were already hunting Jie Sect disciples outside, the Jie Sect disciples could naturally fight back.

He spoke slowly.

"Naturally, you can."

Tongtian became so decisive; it seemed that Ma Yuan's death and Yu Yuan being attacked still had some effect.

But Gu Xiu didn't have much expression on his face. Now was not the time to be happy, and he continued: "Grand Ancestor, it is said that the Second Grand Ancestor is quite protective of his own. If the Second Grand Ancestor comes to our door to ask for an explanation because we killed Chan Sect disciples back, what should we do?"

Tongtian snorted coldly: "Those who kill are killed in return; how can they have the face to ask for an explanation? If he comes, I will naturally support you."

"With your words, Grand Ancestor, this disciple is relieved."

Having received a clear answer, the worries in Gu Xiu's heart were gone, and he could now let go and deal with the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Coming out of Biyou Palace, his mood was exceptionally happy.

Duobao smiled: "Nephew, so you came here this time to fish for information from your Grand Ancestor. I have to say, you are really bold."

"Uncle, you are joking. We are going to deal with the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, which will definitely anger the Second Grand Ancestor. If we don't have the Grand Ancestor's protection, we won't be able to withstand the Second Grand Ancestor's anger."

"That's true. Then we will follow your plan, Nephew. I will go and inform your three Uncles."

Now that they were going to take action against the Twelve Golden Immortals, Daoist Duobao was also full of motivation.

"I have troubled you, Uncle."

Watching Daoist Duobao leave, Gu Xiu was about to go back when he saw the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit coming over.

She had a smile on her face, and her eyes revealed intimacy.

"Junior Brother."

Gu Xiu stepped forward: "Senior Sister Fire Spirit, why are you here?"

"I heard disciples talking about you coming back with my Master, so I came to take a look. Where is my Master?" As she spoke, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit looked back.

"Uncle Duobao went to find Uncle Jin Ling, Uncle Gui Ling, and Uncle Wu Dang to discuss some things, so he left first."

"Is that so? I still wanted to tell my Master some good news."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit looked slightly disappointed.

Noticing this, Gu Xiu asked curiously: "Senior Sister, what good news do you have to tell Uncle?"

Speaking of this, a flash of excitement crossed the eyes of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit.

"Since Master is not here, I'll wait to tell him later. It's the same if I tell you, Junior Brother, first."

Gu Xiu was even more curious, but still said patiently: "Senior Sister, please speak."

"Junior Brother, do you still remember the Eight-Nine Profound Art you passed to me before?"

"Naturally I remember. The Grand Ancestor even combined the Eight-Nine Profound Art to deduce the Nine-Nine Profound Art."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit nodded, excitement shining in her eyes.

"Before, I tried to comprehend and cultivate the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Nine-Nine Profound Art, but I had no clue at all and couldn't get started. But ever since I went to Three Immortals Island to discuss the Dao with you, Junior Brother, I suddenly had a clue. After breaking through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, I found that I could comprehend and understand the initial content."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu was slightly stunned. This was indeed an unexpectedly good piece of news.

If the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit could comprehend and cultivate the content of the Nine-Nine Profound Art and avoid the tragedy of the Investiture of the Gods, her Dao path would definitely be able to go further.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister. This is your opportunity and the result of your efforts. Junior Brother believes that as long as you continue to work hard to comprehend, Senior Sister, you will definitely be able to go further."
