Chapter 337: Ran Deng's Scheme

Oh? This is Fellow Daoist Ao's most outstanding child; indeed, he's quite capable!

He waved his right hand, and the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were simultaneously released; Zhao Gongming stood with his hands behind his back, observing the battlefield.

In fact, although they were ostensibly training Ao Yifan's children, considering Zhao Gongming's ties to the Three Pure Maidens, and then connecting the Three Pure Maidens' ties to Ao Yifan.

Therefore, theoretically, Ao Yifan's children could barely be considered Zhao Gongming's nephews and nieces.

Facing his own nieces and nephews, even Zhao Gongming could not really strike a killing blow.

Thus, since the battle began, aside from Yun Zhongzi and his disciple Lei Zhenzi, Ao Qian and his group have at most suffered only minor injuries.

These juniors are really each more formidable than the last!

Watching Ao Qian, Nezha, and the other juniors besiege Zhao Gongming and yet not fall behind, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but feel moved, thinking that the Chan Teaching also has successors.

Disciple, let's work together to settle Zhao Gongming as soon as possible!

Suppressing his internal injuries with effort, Yun Zhongzi said to Lei Zhenzi beside him.

Okay, Master!

Lei Zhenzi wiped the blood from his mouth, his face solemn as he spoke.

The next moment, Yun Zhongzi and Lei Zhenzi rejoined the battle.

But they hadn't expected that, just as they joined the battle, the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls in the sky suddenly exerted their full power.

In an instant, that unfortunate master-disciple pair was once again blown away.

This is impossible, disciple, come again!

Seeing that, aside from the two of them, Ao Qian and the others could still hold on, Yun Zhongzi wore an expression of disbelief.

Beside him, Lei Zhenzi, who had just spat out a mouthful of blood, silently tightened his grip on his Golden Cudgel once more.

Bang!

Come again!

Bang!

Come again!

Bang!

Come...

Master, wait, wait, my disciple's wings are broken!

After several dozen such exchanges, Yun Zhongzi and Lei Zhenzi could also be considered physically sturdy.

However, Lei Zhenzi's pair of wings, having just been struck by the Dinghai Pearls, were completely ruined.

Hearing that, Yun Zhongzi also covered his right arm, wondering why he was still inferior to those juniors.

Here, only the world where Yun Zhongzi and his disciple were injured had been realized; elsewhere, Ran Deng Daoist and the Golden-winged Great Peng were in for bad luck.

In the air, the Five-Colored Divine Light swept up five-colored plumes; wherever it passed, Ran Deng Daoist dared not clash head-on, only constantly driving the Golden-winged Great Peng to dodge.

Nevertheless, even with the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle protecting it, the Golden-winged Great Peng's body now bore several ferocious wounds.

It kept emitting mournful cries from its beak, as if pleading.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan's eyes turned icy cold, his attack motion showing no pause.

So fearful of death, throwing away the glory of my Phoenix clan; today, if you fight to the death, I, as your elder sister, would still look highly upon you, but for now, keeping you would be a blemish on my Phoenix clan.

But after saying that, Kong Xuan froze again.

She couldn't understand why she would call herself 'older sister'.

Could it be that my nature has automatically chosen a gender?

This choice left Kong Xuan feeling somewhat flustered; he immediately vented more of his displeasure onto Ran Deng Daoist and the Golden-winged Great Peng.

This Kong Xuan truly has formidable methods; I fear even my true self may not be his match!

With a Golden Linglong Pagoda hovering above his head and a Heaven-Measuring Ruler in his hand, Ran Deng Daoist found that he could not inflict even the slightest harm on his opponent.

Even without the protection of Yin-Yang Two-Qi, he would have already been defeated.

Thinking of Kong Xuan, who was originally just a junior, now surpassing my true self; it seems staying in the Chan Teaching is no longer meaningful.

Ran Deng Daoist thought to himself secretly.

Just then, a figure came flying backward and slammed hard into the Golden Linglong Pagoda atop Ran Deng Daoist's head.

Boom——

Perhaps the impact was too great; the Golden Linglong Pagoda immediately underwent a violent shaking.

Vice Sect Master, sorry, I didn't mean to.

At that moment, Nezha's voice came from above; the one who had just flown over was indeed him.

But Ran Deng Daoist had no leisure to attend to these matters at the moment.

That strike from Nezha just now caused the Golden Linglong Pagoda to come to an abrupt halt in place.

And in that very instant, the Golden Linglong Pagoda was enveloped by the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Swish——

Under the Five-Colored Divine Light, the Golden Linglong Pagoda instantly lost all its spirituality.

At the same time, the five-colored plumes shot forth; in an instant, the entire Golden Linglong Pagoda turned into scattered fragments on the ground.

Pfft!

His spiritual treasure damaged, Ran Deng Daoist also couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Ran Deng's face was extremely grim.

But wanting to retaliate, he had no recourse, after all Nezha had already apologized; if this Vice Sect Master kept holding onto it, he would appear petty.

Forget it!

He sighed inwardly, Ran Deng commanded the Golden-winged Great Peng, turned, and flew off into the distance.

"Kong Xuan, fellow Daoist, here we cannot unleash our powers; dare you follow this venerable one to the Thirty-Three Heavens for a battle?"

Ran Deng's voice came through.

What is there not to dare?

Kong Xuan heard the words, showed no trace of fear, instantly transformed into a five-colored peacock, and chased after Ran Deng and the Golden-winged Great Peng.

Watching Kong Xuan chase after Ran Deng as he departed, in the void Ao Yifan shook his head and said, "Feng'er, your children are all rather simple."

Ah? Husband, what do you mean?

In Ao Yifan's embrace, Yuan Feng asked with a puzzled look.

Er...

Seeing Yuan Feng's bewildered look, Ao Yifan finally knew whose temperament these two children had taken after.

Indeed, the Golden-winged Great Peng is utterly foolish, but it seems Yuan Feng and Kong Xuan have a bit of cleverness, though not much.

All right, Kong Xuan is your daughter; this time she may face great danger, let's follow her!

Ao Yifan said, taking Yuan Feng and the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, and pursued in the direction Kong Xuan had gone.

As for the battlefield left behind, everyone was actually one's own people, so he wasn't worried.

You haven't seen it, but right now Nezha has begun quietly gathering the fragments left from the destruction of the Golden Linglong Pagoda, has he?

……

"Zhunti, junior fellow Daoist, Kong Xuan has affinity with my Western Teaching; go and bring her back!"

In the Western Paradise, Jieyin received Ran Deng's message and said to Zhunti:

Upon hearing this, Zhunti calculated with his fingers and said strangely, "The time has not yet come; why is Ran Deng so anxious, elder brother? Could there be some change?"

"It doesn't matter; Kong Xuan bears the fortune of the Phoenix clan, and can be used by my Western Teaching to strengthen its foundation; all obstructors, please, junior fellow Daoist, send her to my Western Paradise!"

Jieyin said lightly.

Good!

Zhunti responded, and his whole person instantly vanished from the spot.

At the same time, the Taiqing Sage's gaze turned toward Xuandu.

Kong Xuan has appeared in the world; go!

This is the edict issued by the Taiqing Sage to the Xuandu Grand Master.

However, the Xuandu Grand Master who received the edict looked bewildered; he did not understand why, having never had any dealings with Kong Xuan, his master would send him over, and what that meant.
