Chapter 355: Fake Chang'e Stirs the Winds and Clouds, Mysterious Black Flag Shocks Heaven and Earth!

Xihe and Chang'e, as lofty moon goddesses who do not partake in mortal affairs,

are naturally the goddesses in the hearts of countless male cultivators.

Moreover, Chiyou once fought Chang'e in the past.

Therefore, Xingtian and Chiyou also recognized her identity.

More importantly, Chang'e now treads upon a celestial crane, ethereal and transcendent.

Yet her beautiful eyes are exceptionally cold and unwaveringly fixed on Xingtian and Chiyou.

The celestial crane spans the void, neither favoring nor avoiding, perfectly blocking their path.

No words needed—this Chang'e has come straight for them.

Xingtian's expression darkened, somewhat displeased, as he said:

"Chang'e, as a moon goddess, you have had no dealings with my Wu Clan."

"Why, then, do you block our path today?!"

He thus demanded in a deep voice.

Hearing Xingtian's words, Chang'e gave a cold smile.

For some reason, this smile made Chiyou feel an indescribably strange sensation.

In their past encounters, Chang'e had always appeared transcendent and agile.

But now, her smile gives off a sinister feeling.

Before Chiyou could ponder further,

he heard Chang'e from across speak in reply:

"Hmph, Xingtian, Chiyou!"

"You Wu Clan dare to forcibly storm the Underworld, expelling Daoist friends like Dizang—truly audacious!"

"Now that I am a disciple of the Western Buddhist Sect, I must speak up for Dizang Daoist."

"Today, I will make you two pay the price."

Chang'e shouted angrily.

Her words left Xingtian and Chiyou stunned, then they showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Has she come to speak for Dizang and the others?!"

That makes sense.

More crucially, as Chang'e's words faded,

Swish!

Swish!

two piercing sounds of breaking air rang out.

Before Chang'e, two top-tier spiritual treasures also appeared.

One was the Shuoyue Zan!

One was the Wangyue Zhui!

Both are supreme innate spiritual treasures, cascading divine radiance across the heavens, immortal light brilliant and dazzling, captivating the soul, unleashing an unstoppable fierce momentum.

Seeing this, Chiyou's heart sank.

"Brother Xingtian, you must not be careless!"

"Chang'e's strength is also extremely formidable."

Chiyou said this lowly, warning Xingtian.

Know that when Chiyou gave his all before, he was still completely suppressed by Chang'e, unable to resist.

Moreover, this "Chang'e" seen today seems to possess an even deeper, unfathomable aura of mystery and deceit compared to before.

Thus, Chiyou dares not be careless at all.

But upon hearing this, Xingtian seemed unconvinced.

"Heh... Chiyou brother, no need to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!"

"Hmph, what moon goddess—ultimately just a pretty but useless weak girl."

Xingtian sneered, not taking Chiyou's words to heart.

First, he has never fought Chang'e.

And in his memory, Chang'e has always been soft and weak, not formidable.

Even most of the time she appears, she hides behind her sister Xihe, utterly insignificant.

Second, Xingtian himself is no longer what he once was.

He is no longer the great shaman of old, but now ranks among the Twelve Ancestral Shamans.

In his view, dealing with this little Chang'e is nothing but easy pickings!

Saying this, Xingtian even stepped forward, facing Chang'e directly, adopting a posture of mighty vigor and fearless resolve.

Seeing this, a fleeting trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in Chang'e's eyes.

Then, her jade hand waved.

The Shuoyue Zan and Wangyue Zhui surged, tearing through space, carrying immense breaking-air force, and explosively shot toward Xingtian.

On the other side!

In the Buddhist Sect's Mahavira Hall,

at the very moment "Chang'e" appeared and blocked Xingtian and Chiyou's path, Jieyin, Zhunti, Chen Ku, and Hongyun all had their expressions shift, suddenly opening their eyes.

"Eh?!"

"Immortal Maiden Chang'e? Why is she appearing in the outer realm?"

Hongyun let out a soft exclamation, his face full of surprise.

Not bad!

They had already sensed everything that happened outside.

Hongyun was quite surprised.

After all, Xihe and Chang'e sisters had just left earlier—how could they appear in the outside world so quickly?!

Moreover, Chen Ku had previously clearly stated that he did not agree to their emergence into the world.

Hongyun still wasn't very clear about the existence of that mysterious cloud mass.

Therefore, for a moment he had not yet realized the abnormality.

However, at this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Chen Ku, exchanged a glance and both saw the solemn expression in each other's eyes.

"The true Chang'e Immortal Maiden is currently brewing wine with Xihe!"

"She has not emerged into the world!"

Jieyin spoke without wasting words, directly saying this.

One sentence, and he directly clarified that the "Chang'e" who clashed with Xingtian and Chiyou was fundamentally an impostor.

Just like the fake Zhunti from before.

"Damn it......"

"That black hand has indeed appeared again."

"This time, he impersonated Chang'e's appearance, undoubtedly still aiming to frame and harm our Western Buddhist Sect."

Zhunti's words were equally decisive, making such an analysis.

Chen Ku's gaze was deep.

"Xingtian must not die!"

"Otherwise, the conflict between our two sides would be utterly irreconcilable and unresolvable."

After a pause in speech, Chen Ku turned to look at Hongyun.

"Daoist Hongyun, please hold down the Great Thunder Sound Temple!"

"I, along with my master and my uncle, will now go to the place where that fake Chang'e is located."

As the words fell, the Gate of Myriad Wonders opened.

In an instant, Chen Ku had already vanished from the spot.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti had no time to say more, hurriedly followed suit, and likewise vanished into the Mahavira Hall.

Only Hongyun remained, filled with a feeling of alarm.

Two sect masters of the sages, one Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, all mobilized together.

What a formidable formation this is?!

Hongyun could only continue to stare intently at everything happening outside.

As for Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku, the three of them.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders approached the inconceivable.

In the blink of an eye, the three had already descended onto the scene.

And just as they descended, they happened to see "Chang'e" using two great spiritual treasures to attack and kill Xingtian.

At that moment, Zhunti's pupils shrank slightly, his face drastically changed.

"Stop!"

He shouted loudly, recalling the death of Xiu Liu earlier.

Back then, the Yinglong Xuanhuang Sword had not even touched Xiu Liu's flesh when it ignited that Slaying Witch Needle, causing Xiu Liu's physical body to explode and die.

Now, if the Shuoyue Zan and Wangyue Zhui truly landed on Xingtian's body, this postnatal-ascended ancestral witch would likely also die on the spot.

At the same time as Zhunti's loud shout.

Beside him, Chen Ku reacted even faster.

He hesitated not, immediately pointing with a finger.

Boom—!

In an instant, boundless Buddhist and Daoist golden light poured down, surging without cease.

The entire scene was illuminated, radiant and dazzling.

Clang!

Clang!

Two piercing, sharp explosive sounds rang out.

Immediately, the two spiritual treasures, Shuoyue Zan and Wangyue Zhui, suddenly lost their light and then fell at the feet of several people.

At this moment, Zhunti also realized.

With a thought, he directly produced the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, and in the blink of an eye, he collected both great spiritual treasures, Shuoyue Zan and Wangyue Zhui, into his possession.

Thus, Xingtian was finally safe and sound.

And this scene also left Xingtian and Chiyou staring wide-eyed, dumbfounded, with blank expressions.

What the hell?!

Are Jieyin, Zhunti, Chen Ku, and company not allies with Chang'e?!

How come now, Chen Ku and company are instead blocking Chang'e's attack?!

Xingtian and Chiyou stared at each other, completely bewildered.

As for the other side, the "Chang'e".

Upon seeing Chen Ku and the three appear, she also changed her expression.

Especially since her two spirit treasures were taken away, which made her pretty face full of gloomy color.

But it was only an instant, "Chang'e" seemed to have reacted.

"It turns out to be the two sages, and fellow Daoist Chen Ku has descended?!"

"Chang'e greets everyone!"

The words paused, and Chang'e continued to say:

"The junior, acting on the orders of the two sages, has come specially to seek justice for fellow Daoist Dizang and others."

"You three are already impatient, wanting to personally capture Xingtian and Chiyou?!"

No need to say more.

Even facing Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku.

But this "Chang'e" is still pretending and disguising herself, appearing completely unflustered.

Moreover, these words can be said to be deeply scheming.

Upon hearing this, Xingtian and Chiyou looked toward Jieyin, Zhunti, and others, their faces becoming even more wary and vigilant.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti frowned slightly.

"Hmph, acting on the orders of us sages?"

"Ominous creature, with death at hand, you still dare to speak so recklessly, talking nonsense?!"

"Quickly reveal your true form, this seat wants to see exactly what kind of demonic creature you are, repeatedly plotting to harm my Western Buddhist sect."

Zhunti was furious.

He could almost confirm that the strange being disguised as Chang'e before him was certainly the same existence as the one that previously disguised itself as him.

Therefore, Zhunti showed no courtesy, his eyes like torches, scrutinizing the "Chang'e" before him.

His words were even more sharp and domineering.

Xingtian and Chiyou glanced at each other.

From Zhunti's words, they seemed to have heard some information.

This "Chang'e" before them is actually someone else in disguise, pretending to be her?!

The two were doubtful and uncertain, and did not fully believe Zhunti's words.

And Chen Ku and the other two also did not pay attention to the reactions of Xingtian and Chiyou.

At this moment, Chen Ku lowered his eyes, as if in thought.

Sinister!

Gloomy!

This is the first impression given by the "Chang'e" before him.

Previously, only through tracing with the time scroll did this feeling not become very clear.

But now, seeing the fake Chang'e with his own eyes, Chen Ku's heart suddenly gave rise to an astonishing thought.

The existence of this disguise impersonating several Buddhist figures may not belong to the primordial heaven and earth.

Just as Chen Ku was pondering.

"Chang'e" spoke again.

"Hehe... what are the sages saying?"

"I am Chang'e's, and I and my sister Xihe have long since taken refuge in the Western Buddhist sect."

"Don't you recognize us anymore?!"

Chang'e still wanted to continue disguising.

But this explanation, in the face of Jieyin and Zhunti, only appeared more clumsy and inept.

Jieyin wasted no words, his gaze turned cold, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Still speaking with a glib tongue?!"

"If so, then come with this seat to the Western Buddhist sect."

"Under the Buddha's light, don't think you can continue pretending."

As he spoke, Jieyin's aura surged mightily, sweeping outward.

His body radiated light, the sacred rhythm of Buddha and Dao stirred, captivating the heart and soul.

At the same time, a divine ability great technique was unleashed, intending to seize "Chang'e" in one move.

But for this, Chang'e remained calm and composed, her face showing composure.

Seeing this, Jieyin's heart suddenly stirred, and an ominous premonition rose.

Indeed!

Just as if to confirm Jieyin's premonition.

The next moment, above the nine heavens, a sudden change occurred.

Boom—boom—boom!

Only heard the tremendous heavenly sound explode, deafening, the nine heavens and ten earths trembled.

In the primordial heaven and earth, various laws and orders surged violently, chaotic and disordered, completely collapsed.

For a time, Jieyin, Zhunti, Chen Ku, and even countless beings all turned their gazes in succession.

"That is......"

"Hiss... what a terrifying aura?!"

"What exactly happened?!"

The cries of astonishment from various beings never ceased.

At this moment, the scene above the nine heavens was truly deserving of the name of a great terror, making one's scalp explode and liver and gall nearly burst.

Only a boundless, terrifying black banner was seen descending from beyond the Chaos realm with a thunderous roar.

The black aura billowed, fierce winds howled, dull rumbles continued without cease, like endless rolling thunder, seizing hearts and souls.

Upon the banner, various profound, obscure, yet strange and sinister Daoic divine patterns spread everywhere, outlining a pattern of heaven-destroying and earth-annihilating magnitude.

Heart-struck!

Utterly heart-struck!

All beings gazing upon this scene simultaneously felt the same sensation.

Ordinary beings' souls trembled, spirits fled, not understanding what had happened.

Even the ancient mighty ones were likewise terrified, their bodies trembling slightly.

Even Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku at this moment similarly furrowed their brows, their faces solemn and grave.

Regardless of how beings reacted.

In but a short moment, that black aura obscured heaven and earth, sun and moon.

Within a radius of countless millions of miles, only gloomy darkness stretched, indescribable.

Such an atmosphere simply made it hard to breathe, oppressive to the extreme.

Jieyin and Zhunti were greatly startled.

Under this all-encompassing dark light, even their Buddhist and Daoist golden light was gradually being devoured.

"Damn it!"

"What is this?"

"Why... my perception seems to have been shielded."

Zhunti let out a cry of alarm, causing all beings to erupt in commotion once again.

What?!

Even a sage's perception is actually shielded?!

Even if it were a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, or even an innate supreme treasure, could it possibly possess such divine power?!

Jieyin also looked around in all directions, his eyes filled only with a vacant expression.

"Disciple? Disciple?!"

"Where are you?!"

At the same time, Jieyin began to grope about as usual.

But strangely......

Under the gaze of all beings, Chen Ku was only a few zhang away from Jieyin.

That feeling was as if several people standing in the field had completely lost all perception.

Indeed, that was exactly the case.

At this moment, Chen Ku's face was solemn.

Around him, within thousands of miles, there was only pitch-black darkness.

It was a pure darkness, as if the sun, moon, and stars had never existed at all.

Chen Ku hesitated not, his thought stirred, and he directly deployed the Heavenly Eye Ability.

But the next moment, his heart sank again.

Heavenly Eye Ability... actually useless too?!
