Chapter 169: The Huofeng Zhizun Takes Action

"Mount Bulao will never allow itself to be bullied. Fellow Daoist, please give me an explanation."

The one speaking at this moment was the Bulao Heavenly Venerate; his entire body was permeated with majestic Five Elements Qi, and his figure was as massive and imposing as a great mountain, possessing boundless might.

"A Divine Fire powerhouse of my Dao Sect has already been killed. If I do not come, would the Lower Realm Daoist grounds not cease to exist?"

This was the Upper Realm Sect Master of the Dao Sect, a taboo-like existence in the Upper Realm; his true appearance was world-shaking, and divine patterns flickered behind him, manifesting infinite Dao laws.

Finally, that existence from the Butian Sect also spoke: "Fellow Daoist of the Western Sect, some time ago I received a report saying that your Western Sect disciple defiled the Saintess of my sect. Had I not been tied up with urgent matters, I would have already gone to your Western Sect to reason with you. Since we have gathered in this manner today, please give me an explanation!"

The Golden Body Dharma Image was resplendent, its divine voice overwhelming: "Fellow Daoists of Mount Bulao, the Dao Sect, the Divine Flame Sect, and the Flower God Palace, you were the ones who united your Lower Realm Daoist grounds to attack my Western Sect's Daoist grounds first; that you are now near death is your own doing. As for the matter mentioned by the fellow Daoist of the Butian Sect, I will investigate and give you an explanation. You had best retreat! Do not incite conflict between all parties, lest we both end up suffering."

Whether it was the Golden Body Dharma Image that had descended on the Western Sect's side, or the Bulao Heavenly Venerate and the other Upper Realm great powers of the Divine Flame Sect, they had basically grasped everything here the instant they descended; the ins and outs of the matter were already understood at the very first moment.

The target of their focus here was undoubtedly Mengchen himself, or rather, the world-shaking Divine Art on Mengchen; he possessed three types of Ten Fiends true methods, and for the sake of the Ten Fiends' fortune, they would not hesitate to fight.

The Ten Fiends true methods could be called Immortal Dao true methods; with this method, one would have hope of stepping into the Immortal Dao Realm.

"Heh... you speak so lightly. If you do not hand over the culprit today, my Dao Sect will never let this rest."

"This child killed our Lower Realm Divine Fire powerhouse; please hand him over to us." The great power of the Flower God Palace stated directly, pointing from afar at Mengchen.

"Please, Fellow Daoist, bind this child and return the Secondary Body of our sect's Saintess, and today's matter will be settled. Otherwise, my Butian Sect will spare no cost," that taboo of the Butian Sect shouted sternly.

Subsequently, the taboo existence of the Divine Flame Sect and the Bulao Heavenly Venerate each spoke, naming Mengchen.

Mengchen heard this, and his heart was shocked; these people were all peerless powerhouses, yet they had all set their sights on him.

Behind him, Xiyao, the Tianhu girl, Heizi, and the others were all terrified, not knowing if the trump card Mengchen had behind him could resolve this terrifying crisis.

On the other side, Xiaohuang frowned and tugged at Huofeng Zhizun, a hint of pleading in her eyes, as if she wanted him to take action and help resolve this crisis.

Huofeng Zhizun felt Xiaohuang's movement, turned his head, and chuckled as he transmitted his voice: "Do not worry, Young Lady. At the critical moment, this old man will certainly take action."

With these words from Huofeng Zhizun, Xiaohuang looked up at the sky, feeling relieved.

"Hehehe... the Butian Sect truly has such great prestige. This young man, my Jietian Sect will protect."

The sky roared, dark clouds scattered, and the void cracked open a chasm; countless divine lights darted out, condensing into a massive Dharma body.

"Sect Master!" The Tianhu girl was overjoyed in an instant. This was the Sect Master of the Jietian Sect who had descended.

On the Western Sect's side, the Golden Body Dharma Image was magnificent, nodding toward the Jietian Sect Leader.

Subsequently, that Golden Body Dharma Image lowered its head and looked at Mengchen, pondering for a moment: This disciple possesses multiple Ten Fiends methods, how could I easily hand him over?

Afterward, he spoke to those few taboos: "Everyone, how could I hand over a disciple of my Western Sect so casually? You had best return!"

Mengchen had Huofeng Zhizun and the Vajra Pestle backing him; although he was shocked by these taboos, he was not afraid in his heart. At this moment, the attitude of the Upper Realm Western Sect taboo undoubtedly warmed Mengchen's heart.

"How can we return empty-handed? It seems we must take action," said the Bulao Heavenly Venerate.

Just as those few taboos were about to unleash their great might, a figure stepped into the sky.

That was Huofeng Zhizun! At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm, dressed in red battle armor, his aura extraordinary.

He walked in one step before the five taboos, his hair flowing and his robes fluttering, as if he were about to ride the wind and transform into an immortal.

He was planning to take action! "This is... Supreme Aura..." The five taboos were shocked at the same time; the previously unremarkable old man was actually a Supreme.

In this instant, even the Golden Body Dharma Image on the Western Sect's side and the Jietian Sect Leader changed color.

"Fellow Daoist! Who are you? Appearing now, do you intend to be our enemy?" The Jietian Sect Leader sat high in the sky, his aura magnificent; facing Huofeng Zhizun, he was not afraid in the slightest.

Being both Supremes, who feared whom? Huofeng Zhizun said indifferently: "Enemy? Heh... you are not worthy of being called enemies. The true enemies are on the other side of Heaven; you, as dignified Supremes, with such cultivation, do not go to the border to contribute, yet you have no shame and want to take action against a Formation-Arranging cultivator. This old man truly cannot stand to watch."

"Fine! Most of the people in our Jiutian Shidi only dare to bully their own kind; once they encounter enemies from Yiyu, they are all paper tigers."

"You had best get lost! If it were not for the heavy responsibility I bear, I would truly like to exile you to the border."

Huofeng Zhizun's words were like sharp blades, making the faces of these taboo figures turn green.

Subsequently, he took action; his palm swept across the sky, the ten directions of the heavens rolled, and true fire permeated the air.

"You are presumptuous!"

A roar came; that Butian Sect taboo was shrouded in chaos energy, and a large hand emerged from behind him. Behind him, divine patterns reflected and emitted infinite holy light, and a vast amount of magic power appeared, merging with the large hand, about to strike at Huofeng Zhizun.

Huofeng Zhizun met it head-on, slapping out with one palm; brilliant true fire surged, the universe ahead was clear, and that vast magic power trembled, the large hand cracking.

"Boom...!"

With a boom, the large hand completely split apart, and the vast magic power that maintained the hand dissipated in an instant.

"Seven-Colored Divine Wheel!"

With a hum, a treasure wheel condensed from Seven-Colored Divine Flame suppressed downward, releasing a thick, scorching aura, accompanied by chaos energy; it was incomparably powerful. At this moment, the entire Xuanyu was trembling.

Seeing this, Huofeng Zhizun pointed a finger lightly; red light like a rainbow shattered the treasure wheel, and flowing fire scattered across the Bayu. In an instant, the starry sky turned completely red; one could not imagine what kind of destruction it caused! The taboo existence of the Divine Flame Sect was shocked; his magic treasure had been refined for endless years, yet it was broken by a single finger? "Hmph! If it were not for the fact that my true body cannot descend, how could I allow you to be so arrogant!"

"Return!"

With his call, the scattered flowing fire returned and merged into his body; he was filled with resentment, not knowing how many more years of refining it would take to make his magic treasure regain its brilliance.

Afterward, he unleashed a monstrous divine flame, suppressing it toward Huofeng Zhizun; this time he used his ultimate power, wanting to kill him in one blow.

"Heh...! If your true body descended, you might be able to fight me, but by then, you would die completely, not like today, where you are only a projection," Huofeng Zhizun said with a chuckle.

"Boom!"

Huofeng Zhizun stood there, himself unmoved, but he erupted with scorching red firelight; in just an instant, a fire phoenix that covered the sky rushed out from his body.

The fire phoenix was entirely made of fire rays, incomparably brilliant, sacred and dazzling.

"Sss...!"

The Divine Flame Sect taboo was stunned; he discovered that his divine flame was simply no match for that fire phoenix, and the divine flame was being devoured!

"Impossible, my Seven-Colored Divine Flame is refined from seven types of divine fire that are rare in the world; how could it be easily devoured?" He yelled.

"Boom!"

His Seven-Colored Divine Flame was completely devoured by the fire phoenix, making the flames on the fire phoenix's body become even more majestic.

The fire phoenix charged upward, incinerating the figure projected by the Divine Flame Sect taboo in an instant.

Just before being completely incinerated, he shouted sternly: "You wait for me! When the Great Tribulation arrives, I will surely descend with my true body and avenge today's grudge."

"Great Tribulation?" Mengchen was deeply confused.

The next instant, the fire phoenix turned its head and charged toward the taboo of the Flower God Palace, causing the horizon to erupt once more with a deafening roar like the end of the world; the taboo of the Flower God Palace, her entire body covered in world-shaking white light, sacrificed a white lotus.

As that white lotus was sacrificed, the horizon was instantly pierced by white light, becoming ethereal; the fire phoenix was resisted and enveloped by the white lotus, and in an instant, it seemed to be purified, its flames vanishing entirely, finally dissipating into wisps of crimson energy.

Huofeng Zhizun stared at that white lotus, her expression turning grave.

Although she had arrived as a projection, this white lotus had descended in reality.

"It is actually the Purifying World White Lotus!" the voice of the Vajra Pestle rang out in Mengchen's mind.

"Purifying World White Lotus, isn't that one of the six great Creation God Lotus?" Mengchen was shocked in his heart.

It could be said that he now possessed three of the six great Creation God Lotus: the Merit Golden Lotus, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus.

The appearance of this Purifying World White Lotus, however, also gave rise to a thought in his heart: if he could also get his hands on this Purifying World White Lotus, that would be wonderful.

He was now in mental communion with the Vajra Pestle, and this thought was naturally perceived by the Vajra Pestle, so the Vajra Pestle's voice rang out, sounding very pleased: "Hahaha... truly a heaven-sent opportunity! I never expected that mere female Supreme could actually obtain such a divine object; watch as I retrieve it for you out of thin air."

As the words fell, the Vajra Pestle on Mengchen's chest exerted great power from the invisible realm, and one could see that white lotus flying toward this side as if it were being pulled.

The taboo of the Flower God Palace sensed this change and immediately turned pale with shock, "Come back to me!"

Yet no matter how she manipulated it, the Purifying World White Lotus continued to drift away, getting further and further from her.

In the end, under the eyes of everyone in extreme horror, that white lotus vanished into Mengchen's chest.

"Junior! What have you done! Quickly hand over my white lotus." The Flower God Palace taboo roared in anger.
