Chapter 2482: The Nine-Headed Bird

The Nine-Headed Bird kicked off with both feet, causing the mud and sand at the bottom of the river to rise in clouds, and the Halberd of the Heavens gripped tightly in its hands instantly flashed with cold light.

Seeing Tianpeng in such a state, General Juan Lian had no choice but to brace himself, leaping forward while wielding his Demon-Subduing Crescent Moon Shovel to attack.

The vortex of water around the Nine-Headed Bird grew larger and larger, forming the shape of a giant tornado.

At this moment, above the Heavenly Court, all the immortals were watching this scene.

"It's over! Tianpeng is going to risk his life! If Juan Lian follows him up, he'll likely die too!"

"I really didn't expect Tianpeng to be this kind of person; he was always very clever before."

"What on earth happened to make him become like this?"

Heavenly Emperor Haotian watched the spiritual sense projection coming from below. At this moment, he leaned forward, a look of worry appearing on his face.

This matter was originally a calamity set by the Heavenly Court, intended to test Marshal Tianpeng and General Juan Lian.

As the two most important chess pieces of the Heavenly Court, Marshal Tianpeng and General Juan Lian had not shown any remarkable performance on their journey to the West.

As the Heavenly Emperor, Haotian naturally hoped that by the time they reached the Western Heaven, Tianpeng and Juan Lian would have some praiseworthy achievements.

The road to the West was long; it was absolutely not just the monkey's affair alone.

That was why Haotian had quietly prompted the Heavenly Court just before they went down the river, yet he never imagined that things would turn out like this.

The Nine-Headed Bird's strength was clearly far superior to Tianpeng and Juan Lian's, so once it unleashed its killing move, Tianpeng and Juan Lian would undoubtedly die.

"Heavenly Emperor, should we send someone down to save Tianpeng and Juan Lian?"

Taibai Jinxing stepped forward, cupped his hands, looked up at the Heavenly Emperor, and spoke.

Haotian was about to say something when he noticed a white light suddenly flash on the hand of Taishang Laojun below the hall.

Subsequently, Taishang Laojun suddenly said, "Heavenly Emperor, there is no need to send anyone down."

A look of confusion appeared in Haotian's eyes as he looked at Taishang Laojun and asked, "Why?"

Taishang Laojun pursed his lips, then glanced at the white jade lotus petal in his hand. He wanted to say something, but did not.

The white jade lotus petal in Taishang Laojun's hand had originally been obtained from Wu Feng; it was said to have been plucked from a lotus flower that once surrounded Maitreya.

Therefore, this white jade lotus petal could see a glimpse of the future.

Heavenly Emperor Haotian seemed to notice the white jade lotus petal in Taishang Laojun's hand as well; he naturally knew what function this magic treasure had.

Although this white jade lotus petal could not know all of the future like the Venerable Maitreya, it could see a segment of it.

And although Taishang Laojun knew a segment of the future, he, like Maitreya, could not reveal a single bit of information about it.

The so-called "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed" was the reason for this; once Taishang Laojun revealed the future, he would inevitably suffer the backlash of fate.

Haotian finally stopped speaking; he chose to trust Taishang Laojun, and he also chose to trust Tianpeng and Juan Lian.

On the spiritual sense projection below, the river bottom was in turmoil, with Tianpeng and Juan Lian flying down from left and right.

Tianpeng's nine-pronged rake slashed a giant arc in the air, causing bubbles to rise in the water.

Juan Lian's Demon-Subduing Crescent Moon Shovel drew a brilliant golden light in the air.

The central head of the Nine-Headed Bird appeared extremely furious, its eyes almost spitting fire, and the Halberd of the Heavens in its hands also drew a giant arc in the air. ===== CHAPTER 2484 =====
