Chapter 305: Yin Jiao and Ao Benzhen Ascend

My life is over!

After a long wait, Guang Chengzi could no longer hold on.

I hate it!

With a final roar, Guang Chengzi's blood and flesh were completely drained.

In the next instant, countless blood‑winged black mosquitoes gathered, forming a seductive silhouette.

The Western Teaching's Dharma Protector King, the Mosquito Daoist, appears!

Hearing this, those who had been fighting stopped in their tracks.

You Western Teaching folks, you've allied the Sect of the Cut with the Western Teaching and harmed my martial uncle!

Jin Zha glared at Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, his face filled with resentment.

Hearing this, the Ling Ya immortals looked at each other in confusion, having no knowledge of the affair.

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian looked uneasy, thinking to himself, 'The Western Teaching side is ready to strike—why haven't I heard anything?'

He also looked at the Mosquito Daoist, feeling a bit suspicious.

And what's the deal with this supposed Dharma Protector King?

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian felt his mind couldn't keep up.

After all, he'd never heard of the Western Teaching having such a Dharma Protector King.

I never wanted to cause more slaughter, but you harmed my martial brother Guang Chengzi—you deserve to die!

At that moment, Cihang Daoist's voice rang out.

Right after, his form wavered and three corpse spirits flew out of his body.

Uh-oh, fall back!

Seeing this, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian reacted quickest, brandishing the Six Soul Banner to push Jin Zha back and then fled without hesitation.

Although Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, the rabbit, was swift, the Ling Ya immortals lagged half a step behind.

By the time they reacted and tried to escape, they were already trapped in Cihang Daoist's formation.

The Four Symbols Formation!

Cihang Daoist, joined by the three corpses, laid down the Four Symbols Formation, instantly trapping the Ling Ya Immortal Qiu Shou Xian and the Golden Light Immortal.

The immense power of the Four Symbols held the three immobile.

Meanwhile, a glow of rosy light poured from the glazed bottle, instantly drawing the three inside.

Seeing this, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was terrified, his soul nearly breaking apart.

He hadn't imagined Cihang Daoist could be so powerful, instantly subduing the three Ling Ya immortals.

With that power, how was he earlier entangled by the three Ling Ya immortals?

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's legs were practically sparking, his mind filled with doubt—what merit or power do the three Ling Ya immortals have to bind such a mighty being?

Indeed, they were surely concealing their ineptitude; the Sect of the Dawn folks are truly vile, trying to wipe us all out at once.

He gave a cold snort, and Chang Er Ding Guang Xian glanced toward where the Mosquito Daoist had gone.

But it's exactly because the Sect of the Dawn are too greedy that they handed the Western Teaching a chance; losing a Twelve Golden Immortal this ought to make them feel the pinch.

……

Western Teaching, Sect of the Cut—you deserve to die; the Sect of the Dawn will fight you to the death!

Word of Guang Chengzi's demise swiftly reached the Jade Void Palace, leaving the Boundless Old Master so furious his face flushed like a red peach.

This time, the Sect of the Dawn truly lost both wife and troops: they failed to save Ju Liu Sun and also lost the mighty Guang Chengzi.

The Twelve Golden Immortals concern the Sect of the Dawn's fate; having just replaced two, they must now push new candidates forward.

By decree, Yin Jiao shall succeed Guang Chengzi as a Twelve Golden Immortal; as for the post of Ju Liu Sun's junior brother...

It has already been reported that Yin Jiao received the endorsement of the Heavenly Celebration Clouds.

To the Boundless Old Master, this is a sign from their master, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, indicating that Prince Yin Jiao should join the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Nevertheless, Prince Yin Jiao's status combined with the Heavenly Celebration Clouds certainly qualifies him for the Twelve Golden Immortals.

But the spot opened up by Ju Liu Sun has left the Boundless Old Master perplexed.

After all, the Sect of the Dawn currently has no fitting candidate.

Senior Brother, what if we let my disciple Ne Zha give it a shot?

While the Boundless Old Master was fretting over this, Taiyi True Person suddenly spoke.

No!

But before Taiyi True Person's words faded, Yu Ding True Person countered: 'Your disciple's temper is too foul; my disciple Ao Jian is far steadier, and I see him breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal soon, after which taking a spot among the Twelve Golden Immortals will be a foregone conclusion.'

Oh? Ao Jian is on the verge of a breakthrough?

The Boundless Old Master was a bit surprised, then nodded: 'He is indeed the top third‑generation disciple of our Sect of the Dawn; once Ao Jian breaks through, the newly vacant Twelve Golden Immortal seat should be his, given his substantial contributions over the years.'

Seeing this, Taiyi True Person shook his head and muttered: 'I had planned to let that youngster get used to things first, then I would step down naturally, but the moment isn't right yet.'

After pondering, Taiyi True Person chose not to think more about it.

To him, the turnover of the Twelve Golden Immortals is already inevitable.

Who knows whether, when the master returns and sees the new Twelve Golden Immortals, he'll be shocked or delighted?

Taiyi True Person took a drink and mused: 'It's odd—where did the master go? So much has happened in the sect, yet he left no word.'

……

Jin Zha, Ao Jian, He Tong, Ci Hang, Yin Jiao!

Quietly reckoning, Ao Yifan discovered that, unbeknownst to him, close to half of the Twelve Golden Immortals were now his followers.

The Sect of the Dawn's chief will soon be in power!

So the priority now is to pull the Western Teaching into the conflict; we can't let them stay on the sidelines watching others fight, then swoop in to claim the rewards.

Ao Yifan thought, glancing at Wen Dao Ren.

Do you remember what I told you?

Upon hearing this, Wen Dao Ren raised his head and nodded, saying, "I have remembered it, but are you sure your plan will succeed? That Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus is the Western Teaching's sect-protecting treasure; I'm afraid it won't be that easy for me to obtain either."

Don't rush!

Ao Yifan said, "I'll arrange all of this for you. After all, you help me cultivate the Great Dao, so I will naturally not treat you poorly."

That's good!

After glancing at Ao Yifan, Wen Dao Ren lowered his head again.

Senior Brother, you have to make the decision for us!

Gold Ao Island, Chang'er Dingguang Xian fled back with Jin Gu Xian.

Chang'er Dingguang Xian's condition was not bad; after all, his escape technique was indeed swift, and with the intention of Cihang Dao Ren, he managed to escape safely.

However, Jin Gu Xian beside him was in a much worse state.

Not only was his body punctured with several holes, but even his head of hair was directly scorched, making him look quite miserable.

Just thinking of Nezha's appearance made Jin Gu Xian tremble uncontrollably.

There's no way; in Jin Gu Xian's heart, Nezha is utterly a demon god.

Have you ever seen someone whose face is covered in blood, silent, just relentlessly thrusting their spear to stab people?

Also thanks to Jin Gu Xian timely retrieving the Golden Hoop, which actually eased Nezha's ferocity; otherwise, he likely would have been stabbed to death by Nezha.
