Chapter 1680: This Guy

The relationship between the four Immortal Emperors might not be known to ordinary people. However, the four Immortal Domains under them have always been in a fierce competitive relationship, and everyone wants to suppress the other.

Although Dong Wuqi was not favored in the Eternal Truth Immortal Domain, he was ultimately the first disciple of the Immortal Emperor

This news spread to the Huanyun Immortal Domain, immediately causing a massive uproar.

"Who is so bold as to dare beat our people?"

"This Buddha Son called Tang Sanzang is too arrogant; he is simply slapping our Huanyun Immortal Domain in the face!"

"Brothers, let's go to the Yongzhen Immortal Domain together and back up our disciple!"

Huanyun Immortal Domain, inside East Heaven Gate City.

"Is this news true?" A young man dressed in black looked at the recording crystal in his hand, his expression gloomy.

The junior brother beside him said tremblingly, "If nothing unexpected happened... it should be true."

The black-clad youth took a deep breath and exerted force with his hand; the recording crystal shattered with a "crack."

"Follow me to the Yongzhen Immortal Domain!"

In an instant, a large number of cultivators set out from the Huanyun Immortal Domain, crossing the vast expanse between the immortal domains to head toward the Yongzhen Immortal Domain.

As for the other two immortal domains, they also followed along, harboring a desire to watch the spectacle.

Of course, Dong Wuqi, who was still in the Yongzhen Immortal Domain preparing for revenge at any time, was naturally completely unaware of this.

After resting for a night, Xu Que indicated that he had recovered almost completely and could continue to expel the demonic energy for the Holy Moon Hall.

Dong Wuqi was hardly willing to be beaten easily and almost beat Xu Que up on the spot.

However, being under someone else's roof and facing the pressure from almost all the cultivators of the Holy Moon Hall, Dong Wuqi had no choice but to accept it obediently, no matter how unwilling he was.

"Monk, I warn you, go easy when you hit me..."

Bang!

"I told you to go easy, damn it..."

Bang, bang!

"Damn it, this is going too far!"

Bang, bang, bang!

In the following days, such exchanges occurred in the Holy Moon Hall almost every hour.

And the locations were never the same.

After all, there were quite a few places in the Holy Moon Hall where the vital energy had dried up.

According to Master Tang Sanzang, performing this method where demonic energy had invaded would yield better results.

Thus, the cultivators of the Holy Moon Hall gained another form of entertainment—watching the disciple under the Huanyun Immortal Emperor get beaten.

Some busybodies even marked the places in the Holy Moon Hall where the vital energy had dried up, one by one.

Every day, they would calculate the time and follow the route to go and observe.

By the end, Dong Wuqi had become numb.

He felt nothing at all when the fists landed on him.

But his heart was already shattered.

He was the senior brother of the Huanyun Immortal Domain and a disciple of the Immortal Emperor!

Being beaten like this with countless people watching was simply an insult!

But what of it?

As the old saying goes, when you are being "that" by life, if you cannot resist, you might as well choose to enjoy it.

Influenced by this mindset, Dong Wuqi stopped feeling miserable and even felt a hint of comfort.

Let them hit me, it doesn't matter; I'll just consider it a massage.

This day, Dong Wuqi lay in his room, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He glanced at the sky, rose mechanically, put on his clothes, and walked toward an area of the Holy Moon Hall.

Today was the time to be beaten again; he had developed a habit and walked over himself.

When he arrived, the place was empty.

The female cultivator in charge of this area looked at Dong Wuqi strangely and kindly reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Dong, Master Tang said that yesterday was the last time; the demonic energy within the Holy Moon Hall has been completely expelled."

Oh... it's been completely expelled, has it?

Dong Wuqi was stunned, nodded, and turned to leave.

As he walked, he suddenly realized something.

Damn it!

It's been expelled!

Doesn't that mean I don't need to be beaten anymore?

In an instant, countless grievances and bitterness welled up in his heart; Dong Wuqi felt his vision blur, and bean-sized tears rolled down.

"Oh heavens... it's finally over!"

On this day, Dong Wuqi's wailing spread throughout the Holy Moon Hall.

Others knew exactly what was going on, but it wasn't appropriate to go over and comfort him.

After all, this matter itself wasn't very presentable; one couldn't exactly go over and comfort him by saying, "Fellow Daoist Dong, you sacrificed yourself for righteousness, allowing yourself to be beaten for days to help the Holy Moon Hall; your noble character is truly admirable to us all."

Saying such things would be truly heartless.

Xu Que didn't care about these things, because he was currently lying in the garden of the Holy Water Spring, having set up a lounge chair, basking in the sun, and cracking melon seeds—it was quite pleasant.

He told these people that although the demonic energy had been expelled, restoring the Holy Moon Hall still required disciples like himself, who were profound in Buddhist principles, to pray for the Holy Moon Hall using Buddhist scriptures.

It wouldn't take long; seven or eight days of prayer would suffice.

By now, he had gained the deep trust of everyone in the Holy Moon Hall; any cultivator he met inside would respectfully address him as Master Tang.

Therefore, when he proposed this method, even if some had doubts, they didn't voice them.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Que searched everywhere in the Holy Moon Hall and found quite a few marks left by Er Gou.

Through these marks, he extremely smoothly found various hidden treasures.

Most of these treasures were hidden by former cultivators of the Holy Moon Hall, or were heavenly materials and earthly treasures that had existed there all along but had never been discovered.

Er Gou had indeed discovered them with its keen intuition, but unfortunately, before it could dig them up, it had been put on the wanted list by the Holy Moon Hall.

Now, it was all to Xu Que's benefit.

"Sigh, Er Gou is truly the lucky star of my Zha Tian Bang; I must reward it well when I see it in the future."

Xu Que sighed, his mind sinking into his body to check the demonic energy within.

The main reason he had dragged this out for so long was to buy time to balance the demonic energy.

Under his gaze, the system's progress bar jumped from ninety-nine percent to one hundred percent.

Crack!

As if some barrier had been broken, Xu Que felt a surge of overwhelming power erupt within his body, sweeping through his meridians.

This power was different from immortal energy, Buddhist power, and it wasn't even demonic energy.

Under the system's balance, these three forces seemed to have merged into one, forming a brand-new power!

"Wonderful, I didn't expect a three-in-one to have such an effect!" Xu Que beamed with joy.

Now that his cultivation had successfully reached the mid-stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm, combined with that brand-new three-in-one power and the Righteousness Sealing Demon Sutra, he figured it should be enough to contend with an Immortal Emperor.

He rose and left the Holy Water Spring, his heart filled with ambition.

Rou'er, wait for me; your Brother Que is coming to save you right away!

Halfway there, he was suddenly blocked by Dong Wuqi.

He saw the other party standing there, fidgeting for a while, and speaking like a mosquito: "Master Tang... I feel that there is still some demonic energy here that hasn't been expelled."

Xu Que was stunned and immediately horrified.

Damn it!

Is this guy a masochist?
