Chapter 155

Leaving the Biyou Palace.

The Three Xiao sisters did not intend to return to the Three Immortals Island.

Yun Xiao walked over and said to Gu Xiu.

"The Chan Sect will certainly not let this matter rest. My second sister, third sister, and I will also remain on the Three Immortals Island to deal with the coming storm."

Bi Xiao blinked her lively, large eyes: "Eldest sister is right. With us sisters united in heart, and with the Sect Leader presiding, we have absolutely nothing to worry about."

Qiong Xiao did not speak; she raised her head to glance at Gu Xiu, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of something unusual.

She always felt that there was a mystery about Gu Xiu that she could not see through.

There had been a few times when she wanted to go and ask Gu Xiu, but thinking that Gu Xiu was Yun Xiao's disciple, it would be inappropriate for her to go alone without a reason, so she had to give up.

Seeing the Three Xiao sisters' gazes all fixed on him, Gu Xiu smiled: "Master, please rest assured. Just as Uncle-Master Bi Xiao said, with Grandmaster presiding, nothing will happen."

Currently, the Chan Sect's promotion of the Investiture of the Gods is still in its early stages; it is impossible for the four Saints to come together to attack Jinao Island.

Otherwise, the Investiture of the Gods could not proceed, which would not align with the Chan Sect's original intention.

However, since the Daoist Huanglong has died, as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, given Yuanshi Tianzun's protective nature toward his own, he will certainly come to demand an explanation, and he will inevitably vent his fury.

Seeing Gu Xiu so calm, Yun Xiao nodded gently, her gaze soft.

"Seeing you so indifferent, it seems I worried in vain. I previously secured a cave dwelling for you, so go and live there. My second sister, third sister, and I haven't discussed the Dao with several senior sisters for a long time, so we will go to your Uncle-Master Jin Ling's side."

Gu Xiu nodded and watched the Three Xiao sisters leave.

At the same time, the system sounded.

"Ding!"

"Task completed. The host successfully arrived at the destination within the specified time and saved Yang Jian. Obtained one Law of Space!"

With the Law of Space in hand, Gu Xiu felt a surge of joy.

He had now mastered four Laws of Space, and his grasp and understanding of space had become much more proficient.

Coupled with his collection of Dharma treasures, unless a Saint takes action, he has nothing to fear.

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

The palace was quiet and peaceful, with wisps of immortal mist drifting leisurely.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat in meditation on a cloud couch, his expression solemn and grave, the power of a Saint surging around him.

Suddenly, a true spirit from the horizon turned into a faint light and flew toward the Jade Void Palace at extreme speed.

When that light approached the Jade Void Palace, it was drawn by some powerful force and flew straight into the Investiture of the Gods.

The Investiture of the Gods hung high in the hall, shining with profound light. When this true spirit merged into it, the Heavenly Dao runes on the Investiture of the Gods instantly lit up, blazing with light, and the entire palace was shrouded in this strange radiance.

Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled and slowly opened his eyes, wanting to see exactly who had entered the Investiture of the Gods.

But when he stared at the Investiture of the Gods, his face turned terrifyingly gloomy, and the Saint's power on his body churned.

"A fine Jie Sect, actually daring to kill my Chan Sect Golden Immortal! If this grudge is not avenged, where will the face of my Chan Sect remain!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's voice echoed in the Jade Void Palace, carrying endless majesty and anger.

He did not like those of different species, nor did he like Huanglong, but Huanglong was, after all, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and represented the face of the Chan Sect.

Now that he is on the list, this is a naked slap to his face; he cannot ignore it.

He tried to deduce the murderer, but could not; the heavenly secrets were shielded.

"Heavenly secrets shielded? Is this Tong Tian's handiwork?"

Yuanshi Tianzun believed from the bottom of his heart that it must be Tong Tian who took action to cover the heavenly secrets.

"Tong Tian, you indulge your disciples in attacking the Twelve Golden Immortals. I will definitely kill this child; you cannot protect him!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's furious roar resounded through the clouds, and the entire Mount Kunlun seemed to be trembling.

The disciples outside the Jade Void Palace were as silent as cicadas in winter.

They did not understand why Yuanshi Tianzun was suddenly so furious, and each of them dared not even breathe loudly, fearing they would be implicated.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Master Lingbao, and others happened to be on Mount Kunlun.

They looked at each other, filled with confusion.

At this moment, they noticed Dao Xing Tianzun rushing back in a disheveled state from the horizon, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi went up to meet him.

"Junior Brother Dao Xing, has something happened? Weren't you all returning to your respective cave dwellings? Why are you in such a disheveled state?" Guang Chengzi asked.

"The Master is suddenly in a great rage; could it be related to your affairs?" Chi Jingzi asked.

Dao Xing Tianzun's face was pale: "Senior Brother Huanglong... Senior Brother Huanglong has... fallen."

Chi Jingzi widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "What? Junior Brother Huanglong has fallen? How is this possible! Who did it?"

Guang Chengzi said: "Junior Brother Dao Xing, tell us the sequence of events, how did Junior Brother Huanglong fall?"

Dao Xing Tianzun gritted his teeth and, with great reluctance, gave a rough account of what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi frowned slightly.

"No wonder the Master was so angry just now; it seems the Master already knows that Junior Brother Huanglong has met with misfortune."

Master Lingbao, who was on the side, spoke up.

"Senior Brother Huanglong was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and represented the face of the Chan Sect. To be killed by the thieves of the Jie Sect is a real slap to the face of the Chan Sect. We must make them pay in blood!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals appeared harmonious, but in reality, they were engaged in internal strife, each with their own hidden agendas.

Guang Chengzi pondered slightly and nodded: "Indeed, if this grudge is not avenged, where will the prestige of our Chan Sect remain!"

Just then, the cold voice of Yuanshi Tianzun came from inside the Jade Void Palace: "Those of the Twelve Golden Immortals still on Kunlun, come to the Jade Void Palace immediately."

The voice echoed over the Jade Void Palace, carrying an irresistible majesty.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Dao Xing Tianzun, and others dared not delay in the slightest and immediately set off for the Jade Void Palace.

Entering the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi and the others stood in a row and bowed respectfully.

"We pay our respects to the Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the cloud bed, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

His gaze slowly swept over Guang Chengzi and the others; everyone touched by his gaze could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze landed on Dao Xing Tianzun.

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "Dao Xing, do you know your mistake?"

Dao Xing Tianzun kept his head lowered, not daring to meet Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes.

Hearing this, he knelt down with a thud and said with a trembling voice: "Disciple knows his mistake."

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was stern, and he said sharply: "You do not know your mistake at all. The Jie Sect's bunch of fur-clad and horn-bearing creatures are not to be feared. I have said it before, you must ensure success when killing Jie Sect disciples."

"You, Dao Xing, have lost face repeatedly at the hands of the Jie Sect, and now you have even caused Huanglong to fall. It is simply a supreme humiliation!"

Dao Xing Tianzun lowered his head even further.

"It is the disciple's incompetence."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly: "Huanglong's death is a provocation by the Jie Sect against us. I will naturally seek an explanation from Tong Tian myself and make him hand over the murderer. You first tell me the sequence of events."

Dao Xing Tianzun tremblingly told the whole story.

"Master, the disciple never thought that a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect could have the cultivation of a Da Luo Golden Immortal. The disciple Yang Jian seems to practice the Nine-Turn Profound Art. Although Senior Brother Huanglong had an advantage in cultivation, he almost capsized in the gutter in a one-on-one fight."

Yuanshi Tianzun was silent. He naturally knew Yang Jian; he was the protector originally chosen by the Chan Sect, but he had been snatched away by Gu Xiu.

"I didn't expect him to grow so fast. You come with me to Jinao Island; I want Tong Tian to hand over the murderer."

Hearing this, Dao Xing Tianzun breathed a sigh of relief; he had escaped another disaster.

"As you command!"

After speaking, Gu Xiu's figure appeared in Dao Xing Tianzun's mind, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

You are dead for sure this time!
