Chapter 333: Ao Chen Leaves the Mountain

Under the Five-Colored Divine Light, Yun Zhongzi felt that all his magic treasures instantly lost their spirituality.

"Oh no, not only my magic treasures, but even my soul and body are being suppressed by the Five-Colored Divine Light—I'm done for!"

Yun Zhongzi cursed Jiang Ziya again in his heart, but it was just helpless rage.

"Hmph, don't hurt my master-uncle!"

Seeing Yun Zhongzi about to be swept away by the Five-Colored Divine Light, suddenly a figure flew out and blocked his front.

Under a soft candlelight, Ao Chen's figure gradually emerged.

"Huh? What magic treasure is this, that it can barely withstand the might of my Five-Colored Divine Light?"

On the other side, seeing Ao Chen block her Five-Colored Divine Light, Kong Xuan flashed a look of surprise on her face.

"Heh, the Three Realms really do produce talent after talent; I've just been born and keep running into people who can block my Five-Colored Divine Light, but compared to that bastard, this little guy is still too immature!"

She snorted coldly inside, and only saw the Five-Colored Plume Feathers fly out from behind Kong Xuan.

"Oh no!"

On the other side, Ao Chen also sensed a hint of danger; his brow's heavenly eye shot out a golden light that landed upon the Illuminating Lamp.

The heavenly eye's golden light, amplified by the Illuminating Lamp, instantly turned into a giant blade, slashing toward the Five-Colored Divine Light above his head.

"Master-uncle, let's go!"

Seeing the barely torn opening, Ao Chen hardly hesitated, grabbing Yun Zhongzi by the back of his collar and flying him out of the range of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

At the same time, the Five-Colored Plume Feathers flew over.

Feeling the danger behind him, Ao Chen instantly employed the Fire Escape Technique, rushing fiercely into the Western Qi Military Camp.

The Five-Colored Divine Light lost its target and gradually withdrew.

For Kong Xuan, who hails from the Phoenix Clan, she naturally carries karmic bonds; it's only natural not to casually create killing karma, so seeing Ao Chen bring Yun Zhongzi to flee into the mortal military camp, she naturally called off her attack.

"The Five-Colored Divine Light truly lives up to its name!"

At that moment, Zhao Gongming also flew over, looking at Kong Xuan with a solemn expression.

But Kong Xuan didn't even glance at him, simply flying past him and returning to her dwelling.

For her, helping the Yin-Shang win this battle, gaining merit, and then returning to rescue her mother—that's what she intends to do.

As for anyone else, Kong Xuan pays no attention.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming also didn't care; with a wave of his right hand, the Yin-Shang Army launched another attack on the Western Qi Military Camp.

"Withdraw, retreat ten li!"

Jiang Ziya decisively made the decision, ordering the army to retreat.

As for this situation, the Western Qi Army here is already quite practiced.

After all, a defeat in magical combat means a great defeat; preserving strength now is the top priority, and even Ji Fa can't say anything else.

……

"Oh dear, the Three-Eyed Boy got ahead again!"

At the same time, over at Chentang Pass, Nezha wore a displeased face.

Although Ao Chen had previously been defeated by the Five-Colored Divine Light, he was able to rescue Yun Zhongzi from under it; this strength even Nezha couldn't help but admire.

"No, I must speed up my research; I can't let the Three-Eyed Boy leave me too far behind."

Muttering to himself, Nezha plunged into his own military tent.

There, that is exactly where he conducts his research.

As for this, Jin Tu and Mu Tu have long grown accustomed to it, though the two still harbor doubts.

"Mother, why hasn't Father been seen for so long?"

Jin Tu looked at Lady Yin and said: "Moreover, our plan should probably begin now, and we still need him to return to oversee the overall situation."

Lady Yin, who was holding little Zhenying, thought for a moment and said: "Your father may be tied up by something, but he always prioritizes the big picture; at crucial moments he will surely act—everything proceeds according to the original plan."

"All right, Mother!"

Jin Tu nodded, then together with Mu Tu teased the sleeping little Zhenying; after the little fellow started crying and fussing, they hurriedly slipped away.

……

Ao Chen's appearance instantly became the new hope of the Western Qi Army.

After all, everyone saw his performance; this time, if not for Ao Chen's intervention, even Yun Zhongzi would likely have fallen under the enemy's Five-Colored Divine Light.

"Ao Chen, junior disciple, this time I owe you much; Master-Uncle, I raise a cup to you!"

Yun Zhongzi proactively raised a cup to Ao Chen.

Originally, Yun Zhongzi and the others didn't take these rising stars like Ao Chen to heart.

After all, their seniority is still too young; even though they are fellow Twelve Golden Immortals, they never regarded them as equals.

Yet reality slapped Yun Zhongzi's face repeatedly.

Although Ao Chen is young, his strength is likely already above some veteran Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"Master-Uncle, you're being too polite!"

Ao Chen waved his hand, saying: "I'm not good at drinking, so there's no need for that!"

Hearing that, Yun Zhongzi didn't get angry, smiled and said: "No wonder you're a high disciple of Senior Brother Yuding; with such tenacity, it's no surprise you have this strength."

"But right now, in the Yin-Shang Army, not only is there Zhao Gongming, but now there's also Kong Xuan; we people probably aren't a match for them."

Yun Zhongzi said this and drained the cup in one gulp.

Today he felt vexed, and he also wanted to vent properly.

All this, Jiang Ziya saw with his eyes; deep in his gaze, a smile inevitably emerged.

"Indeed!"

At this moment, Ao Chen nodded and said: "The power of that Five-Colored Divine Light, I fear I cannot resist it either; Jiang, Master-Uncle, do you have any countermeasure?"

There is a method, indeed, but this matter requires the help of Senior Martial Brother Yun Zhongzi.

Jiang Ziya said while looking at Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi, who had drunk several cups of wine, had a slightly flushed face; he never expected that in this mortal army camp there would be such immortal brew, and even he, a Golden Immortal of Great Luo, became a bit drunk.

"Junior Martial Brother Jiang Ziya, speak freely; since I, Senior Martial Brother, have already intervened, I will certainly assist you fully in defeating the Yin Shang army."

Yun Zhongzi said with a hiccup.

At this moment, he seemed to somewhat understand his junior martial brother Taiyi; this wine is truly a good thing—after drinking it, one can indeed forget many worries.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya's eyes smiled even more as he said: "Right now, the Yin Shang army has a Quasi-Sage holding the fort; if we want to oppose them, we can only summon a Quasi-Sage expert from our Elucidation Sect."

"You mean the Vice Sect Master Ran Deng?"

Yun Zhongzi suddenly widened his eyes.

He never expected that Jiang Ziya would actually want to invite the Vice Sect Master Ran Deng to come down from the mountain.

You should know that the Vice Sect Master Ran Deng holds a special status in the Elucidation Sect.

Although called a Vice Sect Master, he is actually one of the Red Dust Three Thousand Guests, a true master.

He became a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, merely to listen to the Grand Primordial Great Luo Dao.

Moreover, due to his special status, the Vice Sect Master Ran Deng rarely participates in sect affairs.

Unless the Primordial Heavenly Venerable personally gives the order, the Vice Sect Master Ran Deng cannot possibly take action.

Just like the previous expedition to the Chaos Sea, it was also the Primordial Heavenly Venerable who personally spoke.

However, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable is now in seclusion and not emerging; they wish to invite the Vice Sect Master Ran Deng to come down from the mountain, but that will not be easy.
