Chapter 324
Coming out of 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 stay on the Three Immortals Island to deal with the coming storm."
Bi Xiao blinked her lively big eyes: "Big Sister is right. We sisters are of one heart, and with the Sect Leader sitting in command, there is no need to worry at all."
Qiong Xiao did not speak; she looked up at Gu Xiu, her beautiful eyes filled with something unusual.
She always felt that there was a kind of 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, she felt it was inappropriate to go alone without reason, so she had to give up.
Seeing that the eyes of the Three Xiao sisters were all on him, Gu Xiu smiled: "Master, rest assured, just as Uncle-Master Bi Xiao said, with Grandmaster sitting in command, nothing will happen."
At present, the Chan Sect's promotion of the Investiture of the Gods is still in the early stages, and it is impossible for the four Saints to come together to attack Jinao Island.
Otherwise, the Investiture of the Gods would not be able to continue, which would not be in line with the original intention of the Chan Sect.
But Perfected Lord Huang Long is dead, and as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, given Yuanshi Tianzun's protective nature, he will certainly come to hold them accountable, and it will be inevitable for him to vent his anger.
Seeing Gu Xiu so calm, Yun Xiao nodded gently, her gaze soft.
"Seeing you so calm, it seems I worried in vain. I previously asked for a cave dwelling for you, so you should go and live there. My second sister, third sister, and I have not discussed the Dao with several senior sister-disciples for a long time, so we will go to your Senior 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, obtaining a 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 took action, he had nothing to fear.
Mount Kunlun.
Jade Void Palace.
The palace was quiet and peaceful, with wisps of immortal mist drifting leisurely.
Yuanshi Tianzun was meditating on a cloud couch, his face solemn and dignified, with the power of a Saint surging around him.
Suddenly, a true spirit at the edge of the horizon turned into a faint light and flew towards the Jade Void Palace at an extremely fast 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 lit up instantly, the light flared, and the entire palace was shrouded in this strange light.
Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled and slowly opened his eyes, wanting to see who exactly had entered the Investiture of the Gods.
But when he stared at the Investiture of the Gods, his face turned terribly gloomy, and the power of the Saint on his body rolled.
"A good Jie Sect, actually daring to kill my Chan Sect Golden Immortal! If this hatred is not avenged, where will the face of my Chan Sect be!"
Yuanshi Tianzun's voice echoed in the Jade Void Palace, carrying endless majesty and anger.
He did not like non-human types, and he did not like Huang Long, but Huang Long was, after all, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and represented the face of the Chan Sect.
Now that he was on the list, this was a naked slap in his face, and he could not ignore it.
He tried to deduce the murderer, but could not, as 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 had taken action to cover the Heavenly Secrets.
"Tong Tian, you indulge your disciples to take action against the Twelve Golden Immortals. I will definitely kill this child; you cannot protect him!"
Yuanshi Tianzun's furious voice resounded through the clouds, and the entire Mount Kunlun seemed to be trembling.
The disciples outside the Jade Void Palace were silent as cicadas in winter.
They did not understand why Yuanshi Tianzun was suddenly so furious, and everyone dared not even breathe loudly, fearing that they would be affected.
Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Master Ling Bao, and others happened to be on Mount Kunlun.
They looked at each other, filled with confusion.
At this time, noticing Dao Xing Tianzun rushing back in a disheveled state at the edge of the horizon, a bad premonition surged in their hearts.
Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi went up to meet him.
"Junior Brother Dao Xing, has something happened? Didn't you all return to your respective cave dwellings? How did you get into such a disheveled state?" Guang Chengzi said.
"Teacher is suddenly furious; could it be related to your matter?" Chi Jingzi said.
Dao Xing Tianzun's face was pale: "Senior Brother Huang Long... Senior Brother Huang Long... has fallen."
Chi Jingzi widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "What? Junior Brother Huang Long 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 Huang Long fall."
Dao Xing Tianzun gritted his teeth and unwillingly gave a rough account of what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi frowned slightly.
"No wonder Teacher was so angry just now; it seems Teacher already knew that something had happened to Junior Brother Huang Long."
Master Ling Bao, who was on the side, spoke up.
"Senior Brother Huang Long was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and represented the face of the Chan Sect. To be killed by the scoundrels of the Jie Sect is a real slap in the face of the Chan Sect. We must make them pay in blood!"
The Twelve Golden Immortals seemed harmonious, but in reality, they were fighting openly and secretly, each with their own thoughts.
Guang Chengzi thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, if this hatred is not avenged, where will the prestige of my Chan Sect be!"
Just at this moment, the cold voice of Yuanshi Tianzun came from inside the Jade Void Palace: "Those of the Twelve Golden Immortals who are 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 did not dare to delay in the slightest upon hearing this 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 Teacher."
Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the cloud bed, his face terribly gloomy.
His gaze slowly swept over Guang Chengzi and the others, and 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 down, not daring to look Yuanshi Tianzun in the eye.
Hearing this, he knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling as he said: "This disciple knows his mistake."
Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was serious, and he said sternly: "You don't know your mistake at all. The Jie Sect is just a group of fur-clad and horn-wearing beings, not worth fearing. I have said before that you must ensure success when killing Jie Sect disciples."
"You, Dao Xing, have repeatedly lost face at the hands of the Jie Sect, and now you have even caused Huang Long to fall. It is simply a great humiliation!"
Dao Xing Tianzun lowered his head even further.
"It is this disciple's incompetence."
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly: "The death of Huang Long is a provocation by the Jie Sect against us. I will personally go to Tong Tian to demand an explanation for this matter and make him hand over the murderer. You first tell me the sequence of events."
Dao Xing Tianzun tremblingly gave a complete account of the matter.
"Teacher, this disciple did not expect 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 be practicing the Nine-Turn Profound Art. Although Senior Brother Huang Long had an advantage in cultivation, he almost capsized in the gutter in a one-on-one fight."
Yuanshi Tianzun was silent. He naturally knew about Yang Jian; he was the protector originally chosen by the Chan Sect, but Gu Xiu had beaten him to it.
"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 saying this, the figure of Gu Xiu 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!
