Chapter 845: Retreat (112) (Extra update for the alliance leader reward from King Jingyang)

~23 min read 4,531 words

Five pitying ones, that was the specification for late-stage Zifu. As long as the cooperation was good, it was enough to drag down a Great True Person for a short time, not to mention her, a small early-stage Zifu? She could only raise her divine abilities, two points of brownish-yellow radiance appearing under her feet, her palms together, about a fist away from her viscera, raised her head, and recited urgently in her heart: 'Earth of Gaojiao, toward Wuguang, Earth of Poverty reveals its appearance, giving birth to gold and yang!'

In just a single thought, a hazy dark brown radiance rippled from her body, as steady as the earth, spreading to both sides, surrounding her.

After this incantation was recited in her heart, the five types of magic treasures of the surrounding pitying ones struck this Wuguang together, emitting a violent muffled sound, echoing in the clouds. Zhu Gong's face changed slightly, clearly somewhat struggling.

Although the Earth Virtue nature was formidable, 'Wu Earth' was not as indestructible as 'Xuan Earth', and not as thunder-proof as 'Thunder'. What was even more difficult to bear was that her Zhu Gong's origin was not upright, and the Wu Earth was not pure, stained with some demonic cultivator's path!

Being struck by the combined strength of the five Buddhist monks, this radiance immediately became somewhat unstable, faintly emitting some deep black Qi. Two of the pitying ones glared angrily, one spitting golden sand, the other spraying raging flames, smashing toward the radiance.

'Damn it!'

She had no experience in fighting with Northern Buddhists, so she had to urge her divine abilities, her eyes shining with colorful light, one hand held at her chest, the other hand covering her mouth with the back of her hand, slightly raising her Qi, and shouted: "Tai!"

The pitying one spraying flames beside her could not react in time, and actually let out a painful cry, covering his face and falling like a mortal. The encirclement of the five people appeared defective, allowing her to take the opportunity to move, her divine abilities operating again, her figure turning into a stream of light and drifting away, killing her way out of the encirclement.

This pitying one who was hit by the technique still knelt down, spitting blood from his golden lips, and was truly somewhat panicked. But he saw the pitying one spitting golden sand with a calm expression, clearly experienced, pulling out his sword and reminding:

"It is the 'Receiving the Crown' of 'Wu Earth'. Drive the wind up, do not allow landing. You and I are Buddhist monks, so suffer some pain. As long as you are not panicked in your heart, it is not a heavy injury!"

This one spitting golden sand was clearly a leader, with a higher status. This pitying one who was hit by the technique endured the pain and drove the wind up, and sure enough, felt a little better. Not far away, True Person Zhu Gong's face was gloomy, and while casting spells, she secretly called out not good: "This bald donkey has good insight…"

True Person Zhu Gong accidentally obtained the Tongxuan Daoist lineage to attain the Dao. What she practiced was indeed 'Receiving the Crown', but because she was ignorant in her early years, her cultivation was mixed. Although she changed her cultivation technique before Foundation Establishment, she eventually left behind many hidden dangers. Being able to repeatedly defeat strong enemies, this 'Receiving the Crown' had a lot of credit. Now that it was pointed out in one word, it was simply like being cut off an arm. Magic spells rose in her hands, and she shouted: "Bald donkey! Try this move!"

She saw her cough up blood fiercely. In her slightly opened red lips, a piece of Wuguang with dots of colorful mist flew up, almost following closely behind, smashing toward the face of the fire-spitting pitying one, emitting a sharp whistling sound in the air. The pitying ones on both sides called out not good, and hurriedly leaned over.

But she did not expect that True Person Zhu Gong deliberately shouted this, but had the idea of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. This Wuguang only fell in front of her, and immediately transformed into rosy light. Instead, the Grand Void moved, and the real treasure yellow Wuguang drilled out like a poisonous snake, biting straight toward the back of the head of the leading pitying one.

'Target this person first! If I cannot break one of their fingers, I am afraid I will be besieged and fall!'

She knew deeply that she was absolutely not the opponent of the five people combined. Now that she occupied the first opportunity, it was only because she had one more divine ability than the other party, and she only occupied the upper hand for a short time. Therefore, her move was extremely ruthless, holding the mentality of you die or I live. Another small silver bell also drifted from the sky, following the Wuguang and smashing down.

For a time, three pitying ones were restrained. The leading pitying one had to raise the golden sword in his hand, biting the bullet and going up, facing this treasure yellow Wuguang, and shouted:

"Hold!"

He saw the colorful light in the sky, faintly revealing the Buddhist earth. The treasure light was like layers of gauze floating down, falling onto the Wuguang one after another, emitting a hissing sound.

"Boom!"

But this Wuguang was like a hot charcoal falling into cotton, passing through layers of resistance, and finally fell, smashing onto the magic body of this pitying one, making him emit a heart-piercing scream. The silver bell followed closely behind, just about to smash down. Who knew that this pitying one forcibly opened his eyes, letting the Wuguang create several big holes in his magic body, his steel teeth biting together, actually locking the silver bell into his mouth.

What good end could there be for holding a spirit treasure in the mouth? Let alone the magic body of a pitying one, even a divine body would not have such courage. Sure enough, he saw his eyes instantly explode into a piece of golden powder, and countless dark golden cracks appeared on the magic body.

Zhu Gong saw this and had no joy at all, but instead was shocked and angry.

The last pitying one who had disappeared had already passed through the Grand Void, holding two golden hammers and smashing toward the back of her head. The three-headed and six-armed magic body took out two mirrors and a pair of wooden fish, locking her left and right.

"So fast! What a strong Dharma body!"

This female True Person only then discovered that the one who rushed over was the most skilled in fighting among the five, but her spirit treasures had already been displayed, and she could not take them back for a while. She could only pull out her magic sword and throw out spirit shields from her sleeves to resist.

"Clang!"

True Person Zhu Gong's magic arts were still okay, but the rest were clearly a notch worse. The two spirit shields struggled in the air, emitting surging black Qi. It was clear that the blood-refined magic treasures were restrained by the treasure light, and eventually failed to block them all. The two mirrors released golden radiance, shining straight into her eyes.

'Receiving the Crown' was a pure art divine ability, but unlike 'Yetian Sect' which had reinforcement for the magic body, where could True Person Zhu Gong's eyes withstand such shining? Sparks burst out instantly, and in an instant, they turned into pitch-black, scorched empty eye sockets, flowing with two lines of scorched black blood and tears.

At the same time, the silver bell had already broken out from the pitying one's abdomen, blowing the pitying one spitting golden sand into fragments all over the ground, turning into golden sand filling the sky and falling.

"Boom!"

Using the body to imprison a spirit treasure would only be more uncomfortable than her Zhu Gong! Actually returning to the Buddhist earth just like this! The remaining four were not angry but happy, hurriedly stepping through the Grand Void and surrounding her.

True Person Zhu Gong had very little contact with Northern Buddhists, but these five pitying ones knew deeply how to deal with immortal cultivators, and had a tacit understanding at the beginning of the fight—exchange life for injury! Their position as pitying ones was in the Buddhist earth, so if they died, they died, it was for 【Tuixi】's effort. Even if they died, they would be compensated with a magic body. But what about Zhu Gong? How much room could she have? The magic body of a Zifu immortal cultivator was indeed not as important as during Foundation Establishment, but in the fight, suffering a major injury, how could it be recovered without a year or a half? The four people just surrounded her, the movements in their hands did not stop, and they recited scriptures together in their mouths, actually resonating with the injuries left in her eye sockets, and a burst of golden fire popped out, continuously influencing her with the disadvantage of her weak magic body.

Zhu Gong had already reacted, her heart was cold, but she had already been surrounded by the four pitying ones. The stinging pain coming from her eyes was still faintly influencing her casting spells, warning her of one thing:

"If I don't leave now, I might not be able to leave soon!"

The magic arts in her hands were still pinched, turning into radiance to surround herself, barely blocking the attack of the four people. Her spiritual sense floated up, looking at Maha 【Tuixi】 and True Person Kuiqi in the air.

This True Person of Xiukui was still in black clothes with one hand behind his back. The 【Dahe Kui Copper Sword】 in front of him danced and flew, appearing and disappearing, turning into various phantoms, shuttling through the infinite colorful light. And Maha Tuixi's famous 【Kongxi Subduing Demon Bowl】 was fixed in the air by a black rope. Although it repeatedly wanted to break through the restraint, it was always a beat slow and was restrained.

True Person Kuiqi's other empty hand pinched a bit of dark light, from which one after another radiance flew out, falling onto 【Tuixi】 layer by layer. This horse-faced Maha was besieged by the 【Dahe Kui Copper Sword】 and dark light, and only maintained a tie by relying on his own Dharma body.

Clearly, compared to her Zhu Gong's embarrassment, True Person Kuiqi's fight with Tuixi was not a difficult thing. Zhu Gong was anxious in her heart. The more she persisted, the less bottom she had. As the magic power in her body continuously dropped and her magic body repeatedly added injuries, she finally waited for True Person Kuiqi's gaze.

This True Person saw that she was struggling, and was not surprised. The three divine abilities in his hands circulated, but the magic arts in his hands became increasingly fierce, beating Tuixi's face until it gradually looked ugly.

'Fellow Daoist Zhu Gong! Just hold on for another quarter of an hour, wait for my divine abilities to be displayed!'

Zhu Gong's heart immediately sank. Before she could reply to Kuiqi, the radiance around her became increasingly dim. The pitying one who had used mirror light to injure her earlier stretched his six arms, his eyes golden red, and had already used some secret technique.

Sure enough, after only a few rounds of support, the golden fire in her eyes became increasingly intense. With a muffled sound, all the radiance in front of her shattered. Zhu Gong raised her Qi slightly again, her divine abilities operating: "Tai!"

This time, being close, the four people beside her exploded together, collectively choking. The six-armed pitying one closest to her had golden blood gushing from his nose, glaring angrily, and chased again. Zhu Gong's silver bell resisted again, but the other three had already arrived in front of her.

There was still scorching golden light burning in her eye sockets, and the problem of her fragile magic body was also revealed. 'Receiving the Crown' was clearly a divine ability that was better at one-on-one than group fighting. At the moment, she was somewhat flustered, coughed up blood again, turned into golden light and drifted away.

But what Zhu Gong never expected was that at this critical moment, a lotus flower for subduing demons with dense patterns actually wore through the Grand Void with golden radiance, falling on her back heart without any defense! "Boom!"

A cloud of mist exploded in the sky, and the sound of earth collapsing and tiles crumbling came. The rain dissipated, and the sky was full of broken stones and wind and sand. Zhu Gong's face was pale, golden light gathered, and she condensed her figure not far away. Her chest was empty and she could see the scenery behind her, which happened to be a gap like a lotus flower.

'【Tuixi】! How is it possible!'

The lotus flower for subduing demons did not let her go. This golden treasure was actually much more formidable than the Kongxi Subduing Demon Bowl. In an instant, it turned into pieces of sharp petals, falling onto her magic body.

"Sigh!"

Finally, a black rope wore through the Grand Void, blocking most of the lotus flower fragments, and released dense dark light, binding the treasure light hidden in the Grand Void. Even so, Zhu Gong still hit three or five petals, dizzy and spitting blood.

Endless white mist fell on Tuixi's head, trapping him in it. True Person Kuiqi was clearly forced to cast spells in advance, exchanging for manifesting his figure in front of Zhu Gong. The 【Dahe Kui Copper Sword】 pointed straight, scaring the pitying ones to retreat.

His gloomy gaze stayed on that dark golden lotus flower for subduing demons, and that name emerged in his heart:

'【Zhelu】! This is the 【Three Retributions Entering the World Lotus】……'

And Zhu Gong on the side finally got a breathing time. The empty wound on her chest quickly grew skin and flesh. Actually, she couldn't care about anything, and in one breath escaped into the Grand Void and disappeared.

The remaining Tuixi in the sky was full of smiles, clearly in a very good mood, only saying: "Fellow Daoist Kuiqi! You are still a notch worse than the original deity!"

True Person Kuiqi's face was very ugly. He scanned the monks and nuns in front of him, said nothing more, his expression gradually turned cold, and he stepped into the Grand Void disappointedly, also disappearing.

"Haha!"

This Maha with a horse-like face was immediately extremely proud and came down from the sky. The remaining four pitying ones knelt into a group with a thud, and shouted together: "Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord!"

Tuixi's expression gradually turned from pride to gloom. Seeing one pitying one die, and it was still an old pitying one of many years, he felt a little heartache, and said in a low voice:

"Years of hatred, let's report it for now today… If it weren't for the old thing from the Ziyan Sect who is missing, and worrying about acting too fiercely, the Solar Daoist lineage would have brought out some bottom-of-the-box things to retaliate… it wouldn't have been so troublesome!"

He slowly put away the color of hatred in his eyes, lowered his head and looked at the dark golden lotus flower with dense patterns in his palm, both greedy and regretful: 'Eyed Lianmin… such a good treasure, actually not mine.'

"Go! Follow me back!"

……

Grand Void.

True Person Kuiqi drove his divine abilities, walking through the air, his face ugly.

Zhu Gong suffered such a serious injury, she would definitely not show up. He, Kuiqi, had no friendship with Zhu Gong either. Zhu Gong would definitely not let her injured self be exposed in front of anyone, even if it was Kuiqi who had just saved her.

This meant that even persuading this True Person from the East Sea was impossible, making True Person Kuiqi increasingly gloomy. He gritted his teeth in his heart:

"'Receiving the Crown' is not worse than any Zifu, but all kinds of abilities are aimed at individuals, and it is extremely strong in one-on-one fighting. It's just that she didn't practice it well, and encountered a group of pitying ones and ended up in this situation… it's also to blame that this 【Three Retributions Entering the World Lotus】 came too abruptly!"

As a True Person of the Great Xiukui Temple, Kuiqi naturally knew what kind of Daoist lineage 'Receiving the Crown' was. Even in the Great Xiukui Temple, there was the immortal foundation of 'Receiving the Crown'. Kuiqi could not protect it better than Zhu Gong understood her divine abilities! "A good immortal divine ability, practiced into that kind of neither fish nor fowl appearance… It seems that what was obtained is an incomplete Daoist lineage… 'Wu Earth' Daoist lineage, where is it so easy to obtain?"

Almost after watching for a while, Kuiqi could infer where the other party's divine abilities came from, and sighed in his heart:

"Looking at it, it is also a substitute, not the right path. It's just that the Tongxuan Daoist lineage is too formidable. Even if it is a narrow road, it is a heavenly avenue placed today, allowing her to become Zifu."

He soon sank his expression, pinched his fingers and tried to calculate, narrowed his eyes and said: "【Zhelu】 is still testing, not necessarily daring to force Tinglan and Ning Wan… but letting the two be trapped in the north, without enough manpower to beat them painfully… or find back the field… is a great loss of Solar face, and a matter of letting Northern Buddhists become even more aggressive……"

Tinglan and Ning Wan had many trump cards in their hands, but Buddhist monks were good at forming formations to trap people. As long as they were not careful and fell into their trap, it would be difficult to break free. True Person Kuiqi naturally was not afraid that the two would really have an accident, but was afraid that this matter was deliberately intended to make the Solar Daoist lineage lose face.

'Absolutely cannot just let it go! The cultivators are unwilling to intervene in the affairs of the north of the river, but it does not mean that you Buddhist monks can casually design us……'

'Eyed Lianmin that Hengzhu has been awkward because of the things back then, somewhat disheartened, and is no longer willing to participate in the affairs… otherwise, where would it be necessary to be so aggrieved!'

'The Chen family has always been harmonious, persuading them is not difficult. Old True Person Yuming is also easy to talk to. True Person Senior Shan Bai by the sea is also on good terms with our family. They are all countable. Fellow Daoist Senior Ling Mei is very likely willing to take action. As long as he sets off, this matter is basically settled by half. As long as he can break Tuixi's obstruction, although 【Zhelu】 is formidable, he cannot block the inside and outside.'

With the reputation of the Solar Daoist lineage and the friendship of so many years, and fighting the notorious 【Zhelu】, a shout would naturally call out many True Persons.

"But there is only one bad thing. Both True Persons Yuming and Senior Shan Bai are near Xiuyue, and were once under the rule of the Northern Sect. The awkward relationship has been for a long time. The adult has gone to the sky, and Xiuyue has sealed the mountain. The two are probably not convenient to walk outside."

True Person Kuiqi mentioned Xiuyue, his tone was actually quite complicated, and it seemed like closeness, but it was awkward. And mentioning the True Lord of the Xiuyue Sect, his "adult" was called with quite a lot of respect.

But the Grand Void was silent, just a sentence passed by. True Person Kuiqi thought of that True Person Zhaojing on the lake:

"It just so happens that this person is not here… Divine abilities each have their effects. Perhaps in one-on-one fighting, this Zhaojing is not as good as Zhu Gong… but if fighting pitying ones, 'Yetian Sect' is much more useful than 'Receiving the Crown'!"

"Tinglan thought well. Li Ximing is surnamed Li after all. Although the entire Li family may not be able to turn up half a wave under the rosy light… but avoiding suspicion is always a good thing… Eyed Lianmin that I encountered such a thing today, fighting Buddhist monks… The Li family must be willing to contribute, and there is even more excuse to let him come back…"

"Wangyue Lake…"

He drove the wind from this place, shuttling through the Grand Void, actually not stopping for a moment, all the way along the Grand Void to the south, soon shuttling out, and saw the lake with heavy rain.

Such a violent celestial phenomenon, the Li family was clearly also terrified. The magic power radiance on the lake flickered one by one, and one could actually see many cultivators in Ziyan Sect costumes. True Person Kuiqi watched for a while, and then drove his divine abilities down.

He saw a man in black clothes, with gray eyes and long eyebrows, who was shocked when he saw him, drove the wind up, performed a great ceremony, and was extremely respectful, bowing:

"Paying respects to the adult. I am Chen Yang of Wangyue, patrolling the lake. I did not think I would run into the immortal carriage. If the adult has an immortal decree, please open your immortal mouth. The subordinate will definitely lead the horse and fall from the stirrup, and convey it with all my life."

Kuiqi waved his sleeve and said casually:

"See your family head."

After this sentence was said, it counted as giving respect. This True Person clearly would not spend time flying over slowly. Chen Yang only felt that the colors in front of him were reversed, and he had already manifested his figure in front of the main hall. Kuiqi said nothing, and Chen Yang had already sensibly gone in to report.

It was Kuiqi who stood with his hands behind his back, looking at this person's face. His divine abilities had some related wonders, and he secretly evaluated: "This person has a gloomy appearance. Bending his body makes him a hawk and dog. A straight spine does not lose his character. The Li family can get such a slave, not inferior to getting a good magic treasure. Wangyue Lake hides talents and accepts talents, and its style and luck are far better than the many counties in the south."

Just a thought, he saw a person in dark red clothes walking out quickly from the front of the hall, bowing his head and being submissive, respectfully saying: "I don't know which Dao's True Person immortal carriage it is. The villain failed to welcome you from afar, and is terrified. I hope you will forgive me."

This True Person with fluttering clothes walked in, appreciated the decorations in the hall, sat in the main seat, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Great Xiukui Temple, Kuiqi."

Li Jiangqian guessed it was eight or nine out of ten, estimating that the north was even worse. He bowed respectfully in the hall, but Kuiqi watched, frowned and secretly pondered: 'Li Zhouwei really has something. This eldest son also can't see clearly, but there are not many good things in the direct line of Wei Li…'

He soon turned his thoughts back, looking at the teacup on the case without moving, and asked:

"Where is Fellow Daoist Zhaojing?"

Li Jiangqian did not know his intention, and did not know if this one was brought by Qian Lizi, so he did not say half a word, and said respectfully: "Reporting to the True Person, the Old Ancestor should still be in the East Sea."

As for what Qian Lizi mentioned about asking for help or returning, he did not talk about half a sentence.

Kuiqi only slid the jade lid of the teacup along the edge of the tea water. Those light gray eyes sank, and he said softly: "I think you have also felt it. Something happened in the north of the river. It was led by Buddhist monks, retaliating against Qingchi and Ziyan… The grievances between Ziyan and Buddhist monks in recent years are complex, and the trouble left by Ning Tiaoxiao back then is also not small."

"And now the matter in the north, Zhu Gong is seriously injured and will not show up. The person who injured her is Tuixi, who is also the person who ambushed Tinglan. Do you know Tuixi?"

Li Jiangqian shook his head, Kuiqi only said:

"Li Xuanfeng, it was he who harmed him."

"At the moment, Tinglan is ambushed. I see that she has no worry of life. I think it is because they don't want her to participate in the affairs of the north of the river. This True Person hopes that Fellow Daoist Zhaojing will come back. This matter, your family cannot hide."

This True Person stared at the tea water, and the tone of speaking to the two seemed softer than Zhu Gong, only saying: "I understand your concerns. I will not want you to manage the affairs of the north of the river. On the contrary, letting Zhaojing take action against Buddhist monks is to prevent him from having to take action in the future because of the out-of-control north of the river. At the moment, what is needed is to give the Buddhist monks some ruthlessness. On this point, the Li family must have hated the Buddhist monks for a long time."

Kuiqi quietly looked at the two, and opened his mouth:

"Whether looking at it from human feelings or from the situation, rescuing Tinglan in advance is the choice that best conforms to Wangyue's interests, and is the choice that Wangyue does not need to touch the affairs of the north of the river. If Zhaojing extends a helping hand at this time, the Solar Daoist lineage will naturally keep it in mind."

After he finished speaking, he put down the jade cup in his hand and said softly: "The weight of the matter, Wangyue has its own grasp."

Clearly, it was also wanting Li Ximing to return to Jiangnan. Kuiqi was much higher than Qian Lizi in terms of identity and rhetoric. After this remark, he clarified the pros and cons, making people even more heart-moving.

More importantly, the current True Person Kuiqi was the actual controller of the Great Xiukui Temple of the Solar Daoist lineage, a mid-stage Zifu cultivator. He spoke so seriously, who dared to say a word of no? Characters appearing in this chapter
