Chapter 211: Lu Yun's move is truly brilliant! Tongtian is furious!

Outside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Under the nervous gaze of Duobao and the others, Chang'er Dingguang Xian stepped onto the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge.

He was filled with trepidation, deeply afraid that his Dao heart was unstable and he would be unable to pass this rainbow bridge. After walking only two steps, he suddenly froze.

Duobao and the others could not help but look at each other.

Zhao Gongming asked in confusion, "Why is this situation different from the Junior Sisters just now?"

Duobao could not help but shake his head and said, "I don't know, let's watch a bit longer."

The surrounding disciples of the Jie Sect nodded one after another, yet each of them was prepared to strike, ready to save Chang'er Dingguang Xian at any moment.

What they did not know was that Chang'er Dingguang Xian had already fallen into an illusion at this moment.

In his own view, the situation was very unexpected. After stepping onto the rainbow bridge, he actually did not feel any pressure or test; instead, a gentle force was guiding him forward.

He had doubts in his heart, but he went with the flow and continued forward.

Not long after, he actually passed the rainbow bridge smoothly and arrived at the other end of the bridge.

Chang'er Dingguang Xian felt a surge of joy in his heart, thinking: What kind of bullshit Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge is this? They even said that if you have hostility toward the Human Race you can't pass, it's all a lie!

However, this was a good thing for him, as it allowed him to fish in troubled waters! Thus, he strode into the spatial vortex at the other end of the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge.

As soon as he stepped into it, he was surprised to find that he did not see the Lu Yun he had expected, but instead saw the two Saints of the West—Jieyin and Zhunti.

Chang'er Dingguang Xian could not care about being surprised and hurriedly bowed.

Thus, the crowd near the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge saw Chang'er Dingguang Xian bowing with extreme respect to the air, while shouting, "Greetings, Saint Jieyin, Saint Zhunti!"

For a moment, Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and the others were even more stunned.

Guiling Shengmu looked left and right, then said, "Where are the Western Two Sages here?"

Jinling Shengmu guessed, "Junior Brother Chang'er, it looks like he has fallen into an illusion?"

Wudang Shengmu nodded and said, "It should be! Should we wake him up?"

Duobao thought for a moment and said to Zhao Gongming, "Junior Brother, you go and try to see if you can wake him up."

Zhao Gongming nodded and leaped forward, attempting to wake Chang'er Dingguang Xian, but he discovered that he was unable to approach the Trial Rainbow Bridge.

He could only call out repeatedly, "Junior Brother Dingguang! Junior Brother Dingguang! Wake up quickly!"

Unfortunately, no matter how he called, Chang'er Dingguang Xian had no reaction at all, as if he had not heard his shouting at all.

For a moment, Zhao Gongming did not know what to do either.

Seeing this, Duobao hurriedly shouted, "Junior Brother, come back first; let us observe the situation for now."

Zhao Gongming could only follow his words and retreat.

……

Kunlun Shan.

The Three Pure Ones had been silently observing the situation at the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge.

They could not investigate the situation inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers like Hongjun, so they could only observe silently.

Seeing Chang'er Dingguang Xian's performance at this moment, they could not help but be somewhat surprised.

Yuanshi frowned and said, "So that so-called Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge is actually a type of illusion that reflects the heart?"

Laozi nodded slightly, "It does fit the name of refining the heart."

Tongtian, however, was somewhat puzzled, "But why would Chang'er see those two shameless fellows from the West in the illusion?"

Yuanshi said, "Who knows what kind of tricks that fellow Lu Yun is playing again?"

Laozi shook his head and said, "Let's watch a bit longer!"

Tongtian nodded.

He noticed that Duobao and the others under his sect were already prepared to save people at any time, and he could not help but feel a bit of gratification on his face.

Furthermore, Xuandu of the Ren Sect was also looking at Chang'er Dingguang Xian with concern, which made Tongtian very satisfied.

But when he saw Guangchengzi and the others of the Chan Sect, he could not help but feel somewhat displeased.

Because Guangchengzi and the others were actually watching Chang'er Dingguang Xian with a look as if they were watching a play.

Is this what Second Brother often called the Three Pure Ones' disciples being of one mind?

Tongtian felt extremely disappointed in his heart.

……

On Xumi Shan.

The two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, had also been silently observing the situation at the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge.

When they saw Chang'er Dingguang Xian bowing to them in the rainbow bridge illusion, their faces could not help but reveal surprise.

"Eh, why would Chang'er Dingguang Xian see us in the illusion?" Zhunti said in confusion.

Jieyin frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, said, "This Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge does not seem simple; it can reflect a person's inner heart. That Chang'er Dingguang Xian can see us shows that he actually harbors a respect for us that we were unaware of."

Zhunti's eyes lit up and he said, "In that case, this is a good thing! That Chang'er Dingguang Xian's foundation is decent; perhaps we can find a way to poach him from the Jie Sect to our Western Sect later!"

Jieyin said helplessly, "Junior Brother, do not be impulsive! Is that Tongtian someone easy to deal with?"

Thinking of Tongtian's protective nature and explosive temper, and then thinking of the Zhuxian Four Swords in the other's hands, Zhunti felt a bit of trepidation.

However, he did not give up on this idea entirely because of that.

He said, "Senior Brother, don't forget, the Dao Ancestor said that our Western Sect is destined to flourish in the future. Although we cannot poach from Tongtian now, it might be different later!"

Regarding this point, Jieyin did not refute it.

Immediately, they both cast their gazes once again toward Chang'er Dingguang Xian under Shouyang Mountain, curious about what exactly he was seeing in the illusion.

……

Chang'er Dingguang Xian had no idea that he had already attracted the attention of the various Saints in the outside world.

At this moment, in the illusion, he saw the Western Two Sages in front of him, both looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Jieyin Sheng Ren spoke: "Dingguang Xian, you have passed the test. This poor Daoist is willing to accept you as a disciple and make you a personal disciple of our Western Sect."

Chang'er Dingguang Xian was overjoyed.

In the Jie Sect, he was merely an Attendant Immortal, and he had always been ostracized and looked down upon by personal disciples like Duobao. If he could become a personal disciple of the Western Sect, it would undoubtedly be a huge opportunity for him.

Without a second thought, Chang'er Dingguang Xian said excitedly: "Many thanks to the two Saints for your great kindness! Chang'er is willing to defect to the Western Sect!"

However, the next words from the Western Two Sages caught him somewhat by surprise.

Zhunti Sheng Ren said: "Dingguang Xian, for my senior brother to accept you as a personal disciple, there is one condition. We hope you can continue to remain in the Jie Sect as an inside agent to provide us with intelligence."

Chang'er Dingguang Xian was slightly stunned, but quickly agreed readily: "No problem!"

He felt that this way, he could enjoy the resources of the Western Sect while continuing to stay in the Jie Sect, enjoying double the benefits—why wouldn't he do it? "This disciple is willing to act as an inside agent in the Jie Sect and pass intelligence to the two Saints!" Chang'er Dingguang Xian said respectfully.

"That is excellent!"

The Western Two Sages nodded in satisfaction, then each took out a Spiritual Treasure and several Supernatural Powers to bestow upon Chang'er Dingguang Xian.

Chang'er Dingguang Xian received the Spiritual Treasures and Supernatural Powers, his heart filled with joy.

He felt his choice was completely correct; now he had not only become a personal disciple of the Western Sect but had also obtained so many precious resources.

He could not help but laugh out loud, as if he had already seen his future glory.

However, he did not know that everything he had just said, along with his rampant laughter at this moment, had all fallen into the eyes of the world.

……

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Lu Yun watched everything happening in the outside world, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. He had long anticipated that Chang'er Dingguang Xian would make such a choice; everything was within his plan.

Inside the live broadcast room, the members of the Transmigration Chat Group were gloating and discussing it one after another.

Jiang Ye: "Hahaha, Chang'er Dingguang Xian is reaping what he sowed. Let's see how he faces his fellow disciples of the Jie Sect later!"

Yun Yao: "Tsk tsk, the Jie Sect's face has been completely lost by him this time!"

Ming Xi: "Big Brother Lu Yun's move is truly brilliant, making Chang'er Dingguang Xian reveal his true colors himself."

Xiao Ling'er: "Chang'er Dingguang Xian has completely lost face now. Let's see if he dares to play petty tricks again in the future!"

Liu Chongxiao: "I wonder if Tongtian will be so angry that he kills him personally?"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became very joyful for a moment, and everyone was looking forward to the reaction of the Jie Sect disciples next.

"Look quickly, the faces of the Jie Sect disciples have turned black!"

……

Outside the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge.

It was deathly silent, with only the sound of Chang'er Dingguang Xian's rampant laughter echoing!

The people around witnessed everything Chang'er Dingguang Xian did in the illusion and could not help but widen their eyes.

Afterwards, everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the direction of the Jie Sect disciples.

They saw that the faces of Duobao and the others from the Jie Sect were currently showing expressions of disbelief.

"This... this Chang'er Dingguang Xian actually wants to betray our Jie Sect!" Jinling Shengmu said in shock.

"Not only does he want to betray our Jie Sect, but he also wants to act as an inside agent for the Western Sect!" Guiling Shengmu said angrily.

"I truly did not expect that Junior Brother Dingguang would actually do such a thing!" Wudang Shengmu also shook her head and sighed.

"Junior Brother Dingguang must have been deceived by the illusion, which is why he acted this way, right?" Wuyun Xian, also an Attendant Immortal, could not help but put in a good word for Chang'er Dingguang Xian.

"Although he acted this way because he fell into an illusion, it is still disloyal to the Jie Sect and must not be forgiven lightly!" Yunxiao said in a deep voice.

"That is correct. If he remains in the Jie Sect, he will surely be a source of endless trouble." Zhao Gongming nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the Jie Sect disciples looked in unison at their senior brother, Duobao.

Duobao was silent for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "This matter must be reported to the Master so he can make the final decision!"

……

On Xumi Shan.

Zhunti saw Chang'er Dingguang Xian's reaction and laughed happily: "Senior brother, did you see that? This poor Daoist said that this Dingguang Xian's heart is set on our Western Sect!"

One must know that the Western Sect has always been unwelcome on the Primordial Land; even with two Saints in one sect, they were hindered everywhere when they wanted to accept disciples in their daily lives.

Because anyone with a decent background would basically choose to join the disciples of the Three Pure Ones or go to seek refuge with Nuwa.

This was why the number of disciples under the two of them was not even as many as those under Yuanshi alone.

Now that Chang'er Dingguang Xian had such a reaction, how could Zhunti not be happy?

Jieyin, however, frowned and said: "Originally this was a good thing, but now, that Tongtian has likely seen it too. I fear he will not let this Chang'er Dingguang Xian join our Western Sect."

Zhunti's expression changed, and he said anxiously: "Senior brother, should we rush to Shouyang Mountain immediately to save this Dingguang Xian?"

In his view, Chang'er Dingguang Xian had a very good background; if he could be cultivated well, he might not be unable to become a powerhouse of the Western Sect in the future.

Jieyin also began to hesitate.

On one hand, he naturally valued Chang'er Dingguang Xian's aptitude highly, but on the other hand, he was equally wary of Tongtian's Zhu Xian Sword Array. Not to mention that the Three Pure Ones were one entity; if they provoked Tongtian rashly, it would very likely bring them huge trouble! After weighing the pros and cons, Jieyin finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said to Zhunti: "Junior brother, let us go to Shouyang Mountain together and act according to the situation. If we can successfully take Dingguang Xian away, that is for the best. If not, we must not become enemies with Tongtian."

Zhunti nodded; although he was somewhat unwilling, he knew this was the best choice for now. Thus, the two Saints set off immediately and flew toward the direction of Shouyang Mountain.

……

Kunlun Shan.

Yuanshi turned his head and said to Tongtian: "Third brother, this poor Daoist said that these creatures with fur and scales are too lowly and are simply not suitable to be accepted as disciples. You didn't believe me, but now you see it, don't you?"

Tongtian's face instantly turned gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "This rebellious disciple! This poor Daoist will definitely go and kill him personally!"

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave.

Laozi, however, suddenly reached out to stop him and said indifferently: "Junior brother, wait. That Dingguang Xian was only deceived by the illusion and has not truly betrayed the Jie Sect. If you go now, I fear you will fall into Lu Yun's trap."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was stunned.

He thought about it and felt that what Laozi said made sense, so he calmed down for the time being.

He sat back down, his gaze fixed firmly in the direction of the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge, yet his heart could not calm down at all.

At this moment, at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, Chang'er Dingguang Xian was still conversing with Jieyin and Zhunti within the illusion. His heart was filled with joy and anticipation, fantasizing about the wonderful life he would have after joining the Western Sect.

In the illusion, he first received guidance from the Western Two Sages and his strength increased greatly; after returning to the Jie Sect, Tongtian discovered that his cultivation had made significant progress and, assuming it was due to his high aptitude and successful practice, was very happy and trusted him even more.

Although Tongtian did not make him a personal disciple, he entrusted the Six Soul Banner to him for safekeeping.

Yet even so, Chang'er Dingguang Xian still kept his heart set on the Western Sect, feeling that only the two Saints truly treated him as a disciple, while Tongtian merely regarded him as a servant.

Therefore, while enjoying various resources in the Jie Sect to improve his cultivation, Chang'er Dingguang Xian constantly maintained secret contact with the Western Two Sages, passing on information.

By playing both sides, his cultivation grew higher and higher, and he even attained the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It continued until one day, when a conflict arose between Tongtian and the Western Two Sages, and a terrifying war broke out between the two sides.

At the critical moment, Tongtian ordered Chang'er Dingguang Xian to send the Six Soul Banner over. However, at that crucial juncture, Chang'er Dingguang Xian instead delivered the Six Soul Banner into the hands of the Western Two Sages, betraying the Jie Sect right before Tongtian's eyes.

Seeing this, Tongtian was finally utterly enraged!
