Chapter 63

Three Immortals Island.

As soon as Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao returned, two graceful figures fluttered over.

"Master."

"Big Sister, Second Sister, why are you here?"

Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao called out.

Yun Xiao walked forward, feigning anger.

"You two snuck out again! Do you know how worried we were?"

Qiong Xiao's cold and detached face also raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Third Sister, Master said that the Great Calamity of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly severe. You must not be willful and reckless anymore. If something were to happen, what would we do?"

Seeing Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao worried, Gu Xiu revealed a gentle smile: "Master, Junior Aunt Qiong Xiao, please rest assured. Bi Xiao and I only operated within the East Sea area; nothing will happen."

Bi Xiao also crowded forward, pulling on the sleeves of Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, acting like a spoiled child: "Big Sister, Second Sister, don't be angry. Didn't we return safe and sound? Besides, we didn't go out to play this time, but to teach someone a lesson."

Yun Xiao's delicate brows furrowed, her expression solemn: "Teach someone a lesson?"

Qiong Xiao also looked at Bi Xiao with suspicion: "Bi Xiao, who did you and your nephew go out to teach a lesson?"

"Of course, it was to teach Dao Xing Tianzun a lesson," Bi Xiao said playfully, her face filled with a triumphant smile.

Then she told the two of them about the matter regarding Dao Xing Tianzun.

"Big Sister, that's how it is. I went out specifically to help your precious disciple."

Hearing the implication, Yun Xiao shook her head.

"There's really no helping you."

Then, her expression tightened slightly, and she paced back and forth: "The Chan Sect will certainly not let this matter rest."

Upon hearing this, Bi Xiao pouted, unimpressed.

"Big Sister, you can rest assured. Last time it was True Person Yuding, this time it was Dao Xing Tianzun. Their Chan Sect disciples came to the East Sea to slaughter all spirits and strange beasts; this is slapping our Jie Sect in the face. We naturally have to retaliate. If the people of the Chan Sect don't learn their lesson, we will beat them every time they come."

"Master, I think Junior Aunt Bi Xiao is right," Gu Xiu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The resources of the East Sea were not even enough for the Jie Sect itself; how could they allow people from the Chan Sect to run wild in the East Sea?

Yun Xiao sighed softly.

"Very well. Since we already taught True Person Yuding a lesson last time, I don't mind teaching another one. But in the future, if you encounter such things, let us know."

"Big Sister, I knew you were the most reasonable," Bi Xiao said, excitedly crowding beside Yun Xiao again.

……

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the Three Immortals Island.

Following that, a voice came.

"May I ask if the Three Goddesses are on the immortal island? This little one is Prime Minister Turtle from the Dragon Palace, here to visit the three Goddesses under the orders of the Dragon King."

"The Dragon Clan?"

Qiong Xiao's eyes held confusion: "Big Sister, why is the Dragon Clan looking for us?"

Although both Golden Turtle Island and the Dragon Palace were in the East Sea, because the Dragon Clan bore the karma of heaven and earth and the East Sea was vast and boundless, the two places were far apart, and there was not much contact between the Jie Sect and the Dragon Palace.

Yun Xiao thought for a moment.

"Let's go and see together."

Gu Xiu also went along with the Three Goddesses to join in the excitement.

In the sea area outside the Three Immortals Island, an old turtle with a turtle back and dragon head, dressed in official robes, was waiting outside with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

This was Prime Minister Turtle of the Dragon Palace, who had come to the Three Immortals Island to deliver a gift to express gratitude under Ao Guang's orders.

But Prime Minister Turtle had never seen the Three Goddesses and was worried that the gift he brought would not be appreciated by them.

Although he was surrounded by shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the pressure was still a bit high.

As time passed, he couldn't help but look anxious, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, worried that he would mess things up.

Fortunately, after a short while, Gu Xiu and the Three Goddesses appeared. Looking at Prime Minister Turtle below, Yun Xiao asked: "My Jie Sect does not have much contact with the Dragon Clan. I wonder what business the East Sea Dragon King has for you to come here?"

Seeing the four of them appear, Prime Minister Turtle hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Three Goddesses. This visit is because the Dragon Palace recently suffered a humiliation. It was Goddess Bi Xiao and the Exalted Immortal before me who joined forces to beat back Dao Xing Tianzun. To express his gratitude, the Dragon King specifically sent this little one to deliver a gift."

Yun Xiao looked at Bi Xiao and Gu Xiu, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Gu Xiu walked forward, looked at the tray held by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and spoke slowly.

"Since it was specifically sent by the Dragon King, we will accept it."

Seeing that the task entrusted by the Dragon King was successfully completed, Prime Minister Turtle's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly replied: "The Exalted Immortal and the Three Goddesses are kind-hearted and acted righteously; this is a great favor to the Dragon Palace. My Dragon Palace will definitely remember it for a lifetime."

He then had the shrimp soldiers and crab generals present the tray in their hands to Gu Xiu with both hands.

Removing the gift cloth from above, a brocade box was placed on the tray.

Opening it, he saw a crystal-clear dragon pearl emitting a soft light.

"Exalted Immortal, this is a ten-thousand-year dragon pearl treasured by the Dragon Palace. Wearing it can calm the mind, resist inner demons, and quickly increase cultivation," Prime Minister Turtle said, flattering them.

Gu Xiu sighed inwardly; it seemed Ao Guang had really spent a fortune this time, even taking out the dragon pearl, but it didn't have much use for him now.

If he gave it to Yang Jian or Yang Chan, it might be of some use.

"Not bad. Go back and convey our thanks to the Dragon King."

Prime Minister Turtle's face was full of smiles: "This old minister will definitely convey the message. Then this old minister will take his leave."

After speaking, he turned and left with the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, his slightly hunched back soon disappearing from sight.

Looking in the direction Prime Minister Turtle left, Gu Xiu was thoughtful.

It seemed Ao Guang was not yet senile and intended to build a good relationship with the Jie Sect to seek protection.

……

On the other side.

Dao Xing Tianzun fled from the East Sea in a sorry state.

His aura was chaotic, his face deathly pale.

"Damn it, those damned thieves of the Jie Sect! I will remember this grudge!" Dao Xing Tianzun cursed through gritted teeth while staggering away, his heart full of hatred and unwillingness.

Thinking of the scene when Gu Xiu used the 12th-grade Black Lotus of World Destruction, Dao Xing Tianzun's face was full of envy and greed.

"How good it would be if this treasure could be used by me."

The more he thought, the angrier he became. This trip not only failed to avenge Wei Hu but almost cost him his own life.

The anger in his heart burned even more fiercely as he looked up at the East Sea.

"This breath is something this Venerable One cannot swallow. One day, I will definitely get it back."

……

Dragon Palace.

After Prime Minister Turtle returned from the Three Immortals Island, he did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to see Ao Guang.

Passing through the layers of Dragon Palace corridors and swimming through the waterways, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals along the way saw Prime Minister Turtle's hurried expression and all sensibly did not dare to step forward to disturb him.

Arriving at the main hall of the Dragon Palace, he saw Ao Guang sitting upright on the dragon throne, his expression majestic.

Prime Minister Turtle hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Dragon King, this old minister has returned from the Three Immortals Island."

Ao Guang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked urgently: "Prime Minister Turtle, how did the trip go?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this old minister has successfully delivered the gift to the Exalted Immortal who defeated Dao Xing Tianzun."

Ao Guang said with satisfaction: "Very good. The Chan Sect thieves are so arrogant; since we have offended the Chan Sect, we can only rely on the Jie Sect to preserve ourselves."
