Chapter 324: The Fate of Long-eared Dingguang Immortal

Damn it, this is the Palm-held Buddha Kingdom—who exactly are you?

Above the East Sea, a streak of escape light came to an abrupt halt; Long-eared Dingguang Immortal looked at the giant hand surrounding him, feeling both startled and angry.

I am the one who has come to send you on your way!

The owner of the giant hand spoke.

Hearing this, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's heart turned cold, and he shouted sternly: 'Do you know? I am one of the Seven Attendant Immortals serving the Leader of the Highest Purity Penetrating Heaven Sect. If you dare to act against me, are you not afraid that my master will cause you trouble?'

If the Highest Purity Sage were here, I would indeed be wary of him.

The owner of the giant hand laughed and said: 'But now, the Highest Purity Sage himself is unable to even take care of himself; do you really think he has the ability to bother you, this little rabbit?'

As they spoke, the giant hand slowly closed.

In an instant, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal felt the surrounding space begin to contract, his whole body seeming as if it would be crushed into dust by this force.

Wait, wait, wait a moment.

Feeling the threat of death, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal panicked and shouted loudly: 'I don't know which exalted one of the Western Teaching you are, but I have secretly allied myself with the Two Sages of the West. You cannot kill me; if you do, the Western Teaching's plans within the Sect of the Cutting will come to nothing.'

Huh?

Upon hearing Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's words, the owner of the giant hand showed a hint of hesitation.

'Mere words are no proof; do you really think I would believe your nonsense just because you said a few things?'

Hearing this, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal gritted his teeth and said: 'No, I am not spouting nonsense; I have evidence.'

Speaking, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal took out the Six Soul Banner and said: 'This treasure is the proof!'

Speaking, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal waved the Six Soul Banner in his hand; immediately, a layer of golden light appeared on its surface.

'This treasure is a great treasure of my Sect of the Cutting; the Two Sages of the West fully understand its importance, so they joined forces to reforge it.'

Long-eared Dingguang Immortal said: 'They intend for me to use this treasure at a critical moment to deal a heavy blow to all the immortals of the Sect of the Cutting, utterly destroying its foundation.'

Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, you have great gall!

Before Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's words had finished, an angry roar was heard.

Immediately, the clouds and rosy mists in the sky dispersed, and several figures appeared in Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's sight.

You, you all……

Long-eared Dingguang Immortal trembled uncontrollably with fear; he knew he was done for!

For the leading figure appearing before him was Zhao Gongming, the senior apprentice brother of the outer gate of the Sect of the Cutting!

Behind him were the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the Nonattachment Holy Mother, the Fire Spirit Holy Mother, and the Three Skies Fairy!

'How is this possible? The Palm-held Buddha Kingdom cannot be used except by an exalted one of the Western Teaching—who exactly is it?'

Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's face turned deathly pale; he could not understand why an exalted one of the Western Teaching would mingle with members of the Sect of the Cutting.

'Greetings, fellow Daoist; I am the Joyful Venerable, a disciple of Puti Laozi of the Western Teaching.'

Just then, a voice sounded.

Looking at the strange man appearing among a group of female immortals, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal felt his vision go dark.

'Indeed, he is a person of the Western Teaching?'

'Puti Laozi, how could his followers ally with the Sect of the Cutting and scheme against me?'

'Could it be that Puti Laozi himself wants to contend with the Two Sages of the West for authority over the Western Teaching?'

In an instant, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal thought of many things.

Meanwhile, beside Ao Yifan, several female immortals couldn't help but give him a sideways glance.

They suddenly felt that this traitor, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, was somewhat pitiful—right up until now, he had been deceived like a simpleton.

Even if he were a simpleton, a traitor still deserves to die!

'Junior Sister Yunxiao, please wield the Immortal-Snaring Sword and slay this traitor!'

Zhao Gongming said coldly, he never imagined that the Sect of the Cutting would produce such a great traitor.

You must know, in the entire Sect of the Cutting, the status of the Seven Attendant Immortals is very high.

Especially Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, who is even more trusted by his master, the Sect Leader of the Penetrating Heaven Sect.

Yet, having received his master's heavenly grace, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal actually intends to betray the Sect of the Cutting—this is a capital crime!

No——

Gazing at the boundless red clouds before him, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's eyes were filled with terror.

However, Immortal Yunxiao gave him no chance to speak further; only seeing her fingertips gather stellar power, condensing it into a stellar sword.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's soul was locked by the red clouds; he had no strength to resist at all, and could only watch helplessly as the stellar sword pierced his brow and entered his muddy pellet.

'Fellow Daoist Ao, it's your turn next!'

Retracting her sword qi, Immortal Yunxiao turned her head and said to Ao Yifan.

Hearing this, Ao Yifan nodded.

Immediately, he flicked his finger, and a speck of golden light landed on Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's corpse.

The next moment, the golden light took root and sprouted on his corpse, and soon it grew into a Bodhi tree.

At the same time, Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's corpse began to wither rapidly, and on the Bodhi tree there suddenly appeared a Bodhi fruit.

'The secret art of the Western Teaching is indeed domineering—able to seize a cultivator's fate with just a single seed!'

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother gazed at that Bodhi fruit and could not help but sigh.

Having said that, she then looked at Ao Yifan and said: 'You forcibly seized Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's fate—will it truly have no effect on you yourself?'

'Rest assured, a mere little rabbit could never affect me; still, thank you for your concern.'

Ao Yifan said, extending his hand to summon and take down that Bodhi fruit.

Beside him, Zhao Gongming watched all this, a thoughtful glint flashing in his eyes.

'Fellow Daoist Ao, when did you become so intimate with Junior Sister Golden Spirit?'

……

"Why does the fate of that Long Ear Ding Guang Xian suddenly fluctuate?"

Western Pure Land, Zhun Ti Dao Ren calculates with his fingers.

Just, soon he again resumed his normal expression, and said: "It seems I was overthinking; his fate has become stronger. Originally choosing him to overthrow the Sect of the Cutting was indeed a correct choice!"

……

In the Yin Shang army camp, the faces of all the generals were filled with worry.

Since the previous "betrayal" of Crown Prince Yin Jiao, these generals' morale has remained terrible.

While seated in the commander-in-chief's position, Wen Zhong looked at the generals but said nothing.

As one of the few who knew the truth, Wen Zhong also felt that this time the game of chess played by the king and the prince consort was truly too big.

However, as a disciple of the Profound Gate, Wen Zhong naturally understood what it meant that the heavenly way must not be violated.

Wen Zhong, aware that Great Shang had been schemed against, knew that to let Great Shang be reborn from fire, he could only resort to risky tactics.

However, since the previous great battle, the Yin Shang army camp has lacked usable generals.

"Report to the Grand Tutor, outside there is one who calls himself a Joyful Venerable from the Western Teaching, saying he wishes to lend our army a hand!"

Just then, a guard general entered the army tent and, bowing to Wen Zhong, said:

"Joyful Venerable?"

Wen Zhong's face showed a hint of doubt.

Although he didn't know much about the Western Teaching, Wen Zhong could be certain that he had never heard of the Western Teaching ever having a so-called Joyful Venerable.

However, this grand spectacle still needed someone to continue performing; therefore, for those cultivators who came to defect, Wen Zhong naturally had no reason to refuse.
