Chapter 37: Teaching the Antarctic Immortal a Lesson

Leaving Three Immortals Island, Gu Xiu arrived at Jinao Island and soon came before the cave dwelling of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother wore a golden crown with tassels and pearls, radiating brilliant light, and was dressed in a golden robe embroidered with auspicious patterns, flowing with color, as she walked out of the cave.

"Junior Nephew, do you have something to find me for?"

Gu Xiu cupped his hands: "Aunt, I do have something today. I don't know if Aunt still remembers Senior Brother Wen Zhong?"

"Naturally I remember. He was a disciple I accepted early on, but long ago, he entered the world and seems to be a Grand Tutor in Yin-Shang. Why does Junior Nephew suddenly ask about this?" The Golden Spirit Holy Mother's beautiful eyes were full of confusion, not knowing why Gu Xiu suddenly mentioned Wen Zhong.

Gu Xiu explained: "It's like this. Senior Brother Wen Zhong recently won a battle in the North Sea and is returning in triumph, but it seems he destroyed the Chan Sect's good deeds, and they are sending the Antarctic Immortal to deal with Wen Zhong. I'm afraid Senior Brother Wen Zhong will encounter danger, so I came to inform Aunt."

"How does Junior Nephew know about this?"

Gu Xiu said half-truthfully: "When I passed by the North Sea before, I saw monsters causing trouble, so I helped Senior Brother Wen Zhong and happened to know about this."

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother frowned slightly: "The Antarctic Immortal has seniority in the Chan Sect and is the first disciple of the Jade Void Palace, equivalent to the status of Senior Brother Duobao. Although he is not one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Twelve Golden Immortals must call him Senior Brother. He is actually going to deal with a third-generation disciple. Junior Nephew, are you sure what you said is true?"

Gu Xiu said sincerely: "What the disciple said is true. I came to find Aunt because I was worried about the safety of Senior Brother Wen Zhong. If Aunt doesn't believe me, I can make a Heavenly Dao oath."

"No need. Aunt will go to the North Sea with you to see. If the Antarctic Immortal, the first disciple of the Chan Sect, really takes action against Wen Zhong, I naturally won't stand by and watch."

Seeing the Golden Spirit Holy Mother agree to go and see, Gu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Golden Spirit Holy Mother didn't go, he really wasn't confident in destroying the Antarctic Immortal's plan.

North Sea.

Having suppressed the rebellion of the seventy-two feudal lords led by Yuan Futong, Wen Zhong spent some time arranging for trusted people to manage the North Sea, then reorganized the three armies to return.

Riding on the Ink Qilin, the flags behind him were fluttering, and the army's morale was high.

This expedition was a complete victory, and the joy of returning in triumph was overflowing on the faces of every soldier.

There was nothing wrong along the way, but when passing through a mountain road, he found that the fog in the mountains was relatively heavy.

But the weather in the mountains was changeable, and Wen Zhong didn't take it to heart.

But after walking for two days, he still couldn't get out of the mountains, which made Wen Zhong suspicious.

"Strange, I remember this mountain road didn't take so long when I came?"

Although suspicious, Wen Zhong continued to walk in front, but still couldn't get out.

Sensing something was wrong, Wen Zhong stopped, raised his hand, and shouted loudly: "All soldiers, be careful! I'm afraid there is a change!"

Following this, he frowned, gripped the male and female whips in his hand, and rode the Ink Qilin forward.

"I am Wen Zhong, Grand Tutor of Yin-Shang. What kind of petty people dare to block my army's return?"

The Heavenly Eye between his brows instantly opened and shone forward. The winding mountain road that was originally clear in front disappeared, replaced by a stone forest path.

At the same time.

Above the clouds, the Antarctic Immortal's eyebrows were curved, his eyebrows slightly drooping, carrying endless kindness and goodness.

Watching Wen Zhong already lost his way in the mountains.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, he smiled, and stroked his beard lightly.

"It seems Wen Zhong has fallen into the maze as planned."

"He thinks he found a way out, but it's actually the second maze. When he tries his best to get out of the mountains, he will fall into an illusion. At that time, guiding him south to the East Sea will be enough to drag it out for a year or a half. The task assigned by the teacher can be considered successfully completed."

In the distance, Gu Xiu and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother were hidden in layers of clouds, watching the scene before them.

Gu Xiu smiled: "Aunt, I wasn't wrong, right? The Antarctic Immortal is indeed dealing with Senior Brother Wen Zhong."

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother frowned slightly, not expecting the Antarctic Immortal to really take action against a third-generation disciple.

"Antarctic Immortal!"

Just as the Antarctic Immortal was full of joy, thinking his scheme had succeeded.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him.

Turning his head to look, he saw that it was the Golden Spirit Holy Mother who had come. He was stunned, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

"Antarctic has seen Fellow Daoist Golden Spirit. I don't know why you are here?"

Seeing the other party's attitude was so kind, if he hadn't just seen the Antarctic Immortal take action to scheme against Wen Zhong, it would be hard to believe that someone who looked so kind on the surface would take action against a junior.

"Antarctic Immortal, you are an old senior here bullying the small, yet you ask me why I am here?"

Hearing these words from the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the smile on the Antarctic Immortal's face stalled slightly, but soon returned to that kind-faced appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Golden Spirit, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. I'm just passing by here by accident. Where does the bullying the small come from?"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother snorted coldly, "Passing by by accident? That's really a coincidence. I just happened to see you take action against Wen Zhong. You are the dignified Antarctic Immortal, yet you take action against a junior and dare not admit it. Are all the people of your Chan Sect as despicable as you?"

The Antarctic Immortal smiled: "Fellow Daoist Golden Spirit, seeing is not necessarily believing. The matter just now was purely a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, how can I allow you to deny it! Wen Zhong is my disciple, yet you, a senior, take action against him. Since I met you, how can I stand by and watch? Today, let's see how much ability you, Antarctic Immortal, have."

As soon as the words fell, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother exuded surging mana fluctuations, sweeping around like a stormy sea, making the wind and clouds between heaven and earth change color.

Her beautiful and dignified face revealed a kind of majesty and self-confidence, making people unable to help but be captivated.

She stretched out her slender jade hand, and a flying golden sword radiating dazzling light instantly appeared in her hand.

This flying sword was golden all over, as brilliant and eye-catching as the sun.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother turned her wrist, and the flying sword whistled out, like a golden lightning bolt cutting through the long sky, rushing toward the Antarctic Immortal at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this, the Antarctic Immortal was startled, but also reacted quickly, casting spells to resist.

But the Antarctic Immortal only had the cultivation of the peak of Da Luo Golden Immortal, and his cultivation direction was biased toward support. Facing the Golden Spirit Holy Mother's attack, he appeared somewhat powerless.

In just a few moves, the Antarctic Immortal was forced to retreat repeatedly by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, in a sorry state.

This was still with the Golden Spirit Holy Mother holding back.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother scolded.

"Antarctic Immortal, if you only have this much ability, I advise you to roll back to Mount Kunlun and don't have any ideas about my disciple. But today I must give you a lesson."

As she spoke, the flying golden sword seemed to be blessed, its light became even brighter, and its power became increasingly astonishing, like an unstoppable torrent. Wherever it passed, space was torn apart.

The Antarctic Immortal was exhausted in dealing with it, his cloth clothes were broken, and fine wounds appeared on his body. He was disheveled and extremely embarrassed.

"Puff!" As the Golden Spirit Holy Mother strengthened her offensive, the Antarctic Immortal finally couldn't help it, spat out a mouthful of blood, his footsteps staggered, and blood sprinkled the long sky.

"For the sake of Second Senior Brother, I will only give you a small punishment today. Why don't you get out!" The Golden Spirit Holy Mother said coldly.

Seeing this, the Antarctic Immortal, although unwilling, had no choice but to leave.

Gu Xiu had been hiding in the back, very satisfied with the scene just now. If he called for backup every time, he wouldn't have to do it himself.

Seeing that the system task was not yet completed, he had no choice but to drive the auspicious clouds forward.

"Aunt, Senior Brother Wen Zhong has fallen into the Antarctic Immortal's maze and illusion, we must help him break it."

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother nodded: "I have that intention."

When it comes to formations, the Jie Sect is more proficient. The Golden Spirit Holy Mother soon broke the maze and illusion set up by the Antarctic Immortal.

The system finally had movement.

"Ding!"

"Task completed, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a sapling of the innate Ren Water Peach Tree!"

With the reward in hand, Gu Xiu was very happy.

On the ground.

Wen Zhong was walking forward with the army according to the path they came out.

Suddenly, the fog in the mountains dissipated, and he found that he and the army were not on the way back to Zhaoge.

A look of confusion on his face.

At this time, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Gu Xiu landed in front.

Wen Zhong was stunned, rode the Ink Qilin forward.

"Are you Master and Junior Brother?"

"Why haven't you seen your own master for so many years?" The Golden Spirit Holy Mother raised her willow eyebrows slightly and questioned.

Wen Zhong hurried down from the Ink Qilin and knelt down, "Disciple pays respects to Master. Master, why are you here?"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother said slowly: "It was Junior Nephew who heard that the Antarctic Immortal wanted to trap you and didn't want you to return to Zhaoge, so he asked me to come and save you."

When Wen Zhong heard this, he looked at Gu Xiu with gratitude.

After he entered the world to be a Grand Tutor in Yin-Shang, he cut off contact with the Jie Sect. He didn't expect that his fellow Junior Brother would not have any complaints and would help him so wholeheartedly.

"Thank you, Junior Brother. If it weren't for you and Master arriving, I might still be wandering in the illusion with the army, drifting further and further away from Zhaoge."

With the Golden Spirit Holy Mother in front, Gu Xiu didn't dare to talk nonsense and smiled.

"Senior Brother, you are too polite. Aunt and I won't disturb you."

Saying this, he and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother turned into two streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
