Chapter 870: Lu Ya's Ambition

"What? Junior Brother Zhao has actually been murdered!"

Guiling Shengmu was shocked beyond measure.

She had no time to think, her figure flashing and disappearing from where she stood.

When she appeared again, she had already arrived outside Zhao Gongming's Practice Room, and after forcibly breaking the Array Formation, she saw Zhao Gongming slumped on the ground, his eyes already stained red with blood, and he had no breath left.

"Junior Brother!"

Guiling Shengmu cried out in grief, her fury soaring to the heavens.

Who was it?

Who on earth was it?

Junior Brother Zhao was a Peak Golden Immortal, and he had the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Sea-Calming Pearl to protect him; who could have murdered him without a sound?

The commotion here had already alerted Huang Gun, Shen Gongbao, Han Zhixian, and the others.

When they arrived, they were all stunned.

Zhao Gongming was dead!

Caiyun Xianzi's phoenix eyes were filled with rage, and she said angrily, "The Chan Sect, it must be the Chan Sect! Since the cowards of the Chan Sect are no match for us, they have resorted to such base means to deal with our Dao brother. Senior Sister, we must not let them off."

Zhao Gongming had died in the Practice Room, and there were no signs of a struggle nearby; it was clear he had been murdered by someone using a Secret Technique.

Although they did not know who the murderer was, it was certainly the Chan Sect.

Han Zhixian also said with murderous intent, "Senior Sister, let us go out and kill them now to avenge Senior Brother Zhao."

Huoling Shengmu also echoed this sentiment.

Shen Gongbao hurriedly said, "Everyone, please calm your anger; this matter must be considered carefully. We are already slightly weaker than them, and now that we have lost Senior Brother Zhao, if we rashly go to their doorstep, wouldn't that be throwing our lives away?"

Caiyun Xianzi retorted directly, "If you are afraid of death, then just don't follow us."

"Junior Sister!"

Guiling Shengmu gave a light shout.

Although she also had a fiery temper, she had not lost her reason.

This grudge must certainly be avenged.

But they could not recklessly run off to their deaths.

Shen Gongbao felt somewhat awkward, but he did not complain about Caiyun Xianzi.

Huang Gun then said, "Fellow Fairies, I have heard that Daoist Zhao has three younger sisters who are not only all powerful Golden Immortals but also proficient in Array Formations. Why not invite them to Jiepai Pass and set up a great array?"

"That is also a good idea."

Guiling Shengmu and the others nodded one after another upon hearing this.

Han Zhixian said, "This humble Daoist will contact the three Sanxiao sisters now. Their Nine-Bend Yellow River Array was personally taught by the Master; even if a Quasi-Saint were to strike, it is not certain they could break the array."

In the Jie Sect, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array was second only to the Immortal Execution Sword Array and the Ten Thousand Immortal Array.

In the original story, the three sisters joined forces to set up the array, easily capturing the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect and shaving away their top-three flowers and the five-qi in their chests, which was equivalent to destroying their cultivation.

It was only when Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun personally entered the array that they were able to break it and rescue the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Southern Primordial World.

Great Gan Immortal Dynasty.

The Immortal Emperor of this Great Gan Immortal Dynasty hailed from the Jie Sect and was one of the largest immortal dynasties in the southern Primordial World.

Since the Jie Sect had declared war on the three sects, this place naturally became one of the Jie Sect's important bases. The three sisters were ordered to garrison here, and they had led their troops in fierce battles against the three sects several times, achieving brilliant results.

The three sisters were all Peak Golden Immortals, and the eldest, Yunxiao, was even a Half-step Daluo. Furthermore, they possessed Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures like the Hunyuan Golden Dipper and the Golden Dragon Scissors, so they did not fear even Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Under their attacks, the alliance of the three sects was routed, and five or six of their Golden Immortals were killed.

In the end, it was only when the Antarctic Immortal personally took action that they were barely able to stabilize their position.

Yujing.

The capital of the Great Gan Immortal Dynasty.

Sanxiao Palace, the immortal palace specially built by the Immortal Emperor of the Great Gan Immortal Dynasty for the three sisters. "What, our elder brother has been murdered by the Chan Sect!"

Upon receiving the WeChat message from Han Zhixian, the three sisters all trembled, their eyes turning red.

The three of them were formed from clouds and mist, while Zhao Gongming attained the Dao from the divine wind. They had known each other long before they took human form, and he had taken great care of them, so the bond between them was extremely deep.

They were not blood relatives, but they were closer than blood.

Bixiao had the most straightforward temper, and she said with murderous intent, "Eldest Sister, Second Sister, the Chan Sect is despicable to have used evil arts to murder our brother. If we do not avenge him, how will we have the face to see him again in the future?"

Qiongxiao also said in a cold voice, "Third Sister is right. Eldest Sister, let us go to Jiepai Pass."

Yunxiao suppressed her grief and said, "The Master ordered us to garrison the Great Gan Immortal Dynasty; how can we abandon our post? However, our brother's death must be avenged. Let us do this: we shall first report to the Master."

Although Qiongxiao and Bixiao were eager to rush to Jiepai Pass immediately, they knew that their eldest sister's words were reasonable.

Soon, Yunxiao contacted Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Regarding the request of the three sisters, Tongtian Jiaozhu only replied with one word: "Allowed."

Tongtian Jiaozhu also felt grief in his heart at the news of Zhao Gongming's murder.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... ba....!

Because with Zhao Gongming's natural talent, it would not have been difficult for him to achieve the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future; otherwise, he would not have accepted him as his eldest Outer Sect disciple.

In the Primordial World, regardless of the era, those who could cultivate to become Great Luo were all peerless Heavenly Prides.

The Jie Sect did not have many such immortal seedlings.

Having obtained permission from Tongtian Jiaozhu, the three of them did not even greet the Great Gan Immortal Emperor before tearing through the void and rushing toward Jiepai Pass in the Yin Shang territory.

The Xiqi main camp.

"Senior Lu, you are leaving!"

Jiang Ziya had just returned the Mulberry Branch Bow and Peach Wood Arrow to Lu Ya when he heard Lu Ya say he was leaving.

He hurriedly said, "Senior, why the rush to leave? You act in accordance with Heaven and uphold the Righteous Dao; when Zhaoge is breached next, my master will certainly grant you an audience."

He already knew of Lu Ya's origins.

This was a Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, and a powerhouse at the Golden Immortal Late Stage.

Not to mention the significance of his status, his cultivation as a Golden Immortal Late Stage alone was enough to sweep through the disciples of the Jie Sect.

If Lu Ya stayed, their side would have two Golden Immortals.

How could the Jie Sect possibly resist?

Yunzhongzi and the others also spoke up one after another to urge him to stay.

Lu Ya, however, shook his head and smiled faintly, "Zhao Gongming is already dead, and Jiepai Pass can no longer block you. It makes little difference whether this poor Daoist stays or not. Everyone, until we meet again."

Without waiting for the others to speak, he turned and walked into the void.

He was a Demon Emperor with a lofty status; how could he possibly stay in Xiqi to assist Jiang Ziya?

Moreover, he was also worried about retaliation from Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Regardless, he had helped Jiang Ziya kill Zhao Gongming, which was equivalent to slapping the Jie Sect in the face. He did not believe Tongtian Jiaozhu would remain indifferent, so naturally, running away was the best policy.

Although Tongtian Jiaozhu was a Saint, he possessed a Jade Talisman bestowed by Nuwa, which could interfere with a Saint's Calculation.

This was also the reason he had dared to wander all over Honghuang these past years.

……

When Lu Ya walked out of the void, he was already tens of trillions of miles away from the Yin Shang.

He turned to gaze into the distance at the Yin Shang, a sharp light flickering in his eyes.

"The Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, and Buddhism have joined forces; the Jie Sect is bound to fail, and the Yin Shang is naturally doomed. Fortunately, fortunately the Human Emperor cannot cultivate; otherwise, even if it meant being hunted down by all the Saints, this poor Daoist would have to kill him."

"His existence poses far too great a threat to my Demon Race."

"And that new version of the Mobile Phone—I don't know who the mastermind behind it is. Come to think of it, I should thank them; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to purchase any cultivation supplies I wanted in the Primordial Mall."

"Although the quantity is still too small, and one has to compete with others for it."

"If the Primordial Mall were under my control, my Demon Race reigning over Honghuang once again would no longer be a dream."
