Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 582 Traitorous Disciple! And he was taught by himself! Unbelievable!
Even Yuan Hong was taken aback when he first heard this. He stared blankly at the arrogant little Taoist boy in front of him, and then his expression turned strange.

boom--

An iron fist landed on Qingyun's head!
A moment later, Yuan Hong grabbed Qingyun's right wrist with his left hand. Qingyun, who had been punished, covered his head with both hands and tears welled up in his eyes.

"you……"

Before he could say anything, Yuan Hong lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and the surrounding scenery immediately blurred and spun rapidly.

Qingyun was startled. He felt a blur before his eyes, but the scene froze in an instant, and he found himself in a peach grove instead of the Seven Saints City. Only he and Yuan Hong remained around him.

"Transformation?! How powerful... You ungrateful ape... Yuan Hong."

Qingyun was furious: "I helped you so much back then, and I even came to see you today with great joy after not seeing you for so long, and you actually hit me?"

"Brother Qingyun, please don't be offended. To be honest, I didn't want to hit you either, but who told you to expose my shortcomings?" Yuan Hong smiled broadly and stepped forward to put his arm around Qingyun's neck.

Qingyun angrily dodged away, saying, "Isn't what I said the truth?"

Yuan Hong coughed lightly and said, "It's true, but you're saying it in the wrong context."

"What's wrong with it?" Qingyun snorted.

“Brother Qingyun, I won’t argue with you about this in a deserted place like this.”

Yuan Hong sighed, "But that was in front of everyone, with so many of my brothers and subordinates, and people from all over the country. Tell me, if this gets out, how am I supposed to be the boss?"

Qingyun stood there, stroking his chin in thought, and soon a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

His throbbing head made him glance at Yuan Hong and snort again.

"Alright, alright, I'm glad you came to find me. By the way, how did you find this place?" Yuan Hong smiled broadly and flicked his sleeve, his immortal power transforming into a small table and two stone stools, inviting Qingyun to sit down.

Then he clapped his hands, and soon a group of beautiful female demons brought some fine wine and several plates of celestial fruit to entertain him.

Qingyun glanced at Yuan Hong: "It's the master. He saw that there was a strong demonic aura here, so he ordered me to come and wipe out your Meishan. I didn't want to come, but he slapped me here."

"Master?"

Yuan Hong, who was pouring wine for Qingyun, was taken aback, then laughed and said, "He's here too?"

Looking at Qingyun's resentful expression, he shook his head and laughed, "Alright, Master probably wanted you to come and see me, to catch up. By the way, where is Master? Why doesn't he come and sit down?"

Qingyun turned around and glanced at the direction of Guanjiang Estuary.

Just then, the sword embryo on his back suddenly trembled slightly, and sword energy surged, instantly causing peach blossoms to dance all over the ground, forming a character.

"Come?" Yuan Hong and Qingyun looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yuan Hong thought for a moment, looked at Guanjiangkou and smiled, "Master wants us to go there for a chat. Let's go."

……

Drain the estuary.

In an ordinary restaurant, on the second floor, in a private room.

"Master, why did you come all this way and not visit my home, but instead stayed here?" Yang Jian asked.

After all, in terms of specifications, scale, and treatment, his Zhenjun Temple is much better than this mortal shop.

"Don't be impatient!"

Yu Ding closed his eyes slightly and sat in meditation, saying, "Today, I will be entertaining guests here, and at the same time, I will tell you a secret of our Jade Spring Mountain."

"The secret of Jade Spring Mountain?" Yang Jian looked up at the jade cauldron in surprise.

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Yu Ding didn't want to say more, he had no choice but to quiet down and start thinking about his master's words.

At the same time, he also extended his divine sense beyond the private room, the restaurant, and even the entire Guanjiang Estuary, wanting to see in advance who the visitor was...

"You seem quite interested in the guests?"

"Uh……"

"In that case, you can wait outside the restaurant and discuss how to fool your master before coming in."

"?"

When Yang Jian looked up in surprise, he saw the jade whisk sweep lightly, and the surrounding scenery changed. He had already appeared on the bustling street in front of the restaurant.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air all around!
"Master's cultivation level..."

Yang Jian looked astonished, knowing that because his master had been robbed, he and his fellow disciples had previously joined forces to carry out a major operation in order to vent their anger.

Even with his current magical powers, he couldn't withstand a single sweep of the whisk, which shows that this master's cultivation has become increasingly unfathomable.

"And... we were supposed to discuss how to deceive him, could it be..." Yang Jian looked up in surprise, and couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the person who came.

Just then, he suddenly looked up and saw two beams of light land and transform into human figures, but the people around him seemed not to have noticed them at all.

Sure enough... Yang Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Who else could this person be but Yuan Hong?
Of course, there was also Qingyun next to him.

Now that these two people are together... his initial 70-80% confidence level instantly rose to 98%.

"Wow! Senior Brother Yang!" Qingyun exclaimed happily.

Yang Jian patted Qingyun's shoulder with a fond smile: "You're here too?"

Qingyun nodded: "Yes, Master said he wanted to bring me out to broaden my horizons."

Yuan Hong glanced at Yang Jian and then looked upstairs: "What, just arrived? Should we...?"

He winked at me, meaning: how about we pretend not to know each other like we always do and do a few gestures?

After all, while they knew each other's identities as fellow disciples, they discovered it privately, and Yu Ding did not announce it publicly.

Therefore, one of them is a celestial deity, and the other is a great sage of the demon realm. Over the years, they have been mutually restraining each other, and on the surface, they are still irreconcilable enemies.

"Just arrived, my foot..." Yang Jian said, "I've been here for a while."

Yuan Hong laughed: "So you didn't go up there on purpose to wait..."

He noticed Yang Jian's smile suddenly freeze, as if he'd realized something: "You abandoned him?"

Yang Jian looked back upstairs and said, "Master told us to discuss how to deceive him before we go up."

Yuan Hong was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Hey, look at what Master is saying. How could we lie to him? Let's go, let's go."

A moment later, inside the private room.

Qingyun stood beside Yu Ding, glanced at Yu Ding sitting upright beside him, and then at Yang Jian and Yuan Hong who were standing obediently at attention in the center of the room. He couldn't help but shake his head.

One was a high-ranking deity from the Heavenly Realm, a True Lord of the Xuanmen Sect; the other was a powerful demon king who had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and dominated a region. If one hadn't witnessed this scene firsthand, no one would believe that they could be so honest. "When did this happen?" Yu Ding scrutinized the two men before him.

Yuan Hong said with a forced smile, "What time? Master, you might as well be more specific."

Yu Ding sneered, "When did you two find out that you were from the same lineage, that you were in cahoots, and that you were colluding with each other?"

Yuan Hong's smile froze: "Master, you are mistaken. How can you say that things between fellow disciples are collusion and treachery?"

"What, you think it sounds bad?"

Yu Ding sneered, "One of you is raising a bandit to maintain your power, and the other is holding an army to maintain his power. What are you trying to do? Try to turn the world upside down? Huh?"

Yuan Hong and Yang Jian lowered their heads guiltily, but they couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing the admiration in each other's eyes.

They all secretly thought to themselves that their master was truly insightful, seeing through their thoughts at a glance.

Seeing his two rebellious disciples bow their heads in 'shame,' Yu Ding's voice softened slightly: "I'm not blaming you. Originally, as the senior brother of my Yuxu lineage, I thought that Hong'er would eventually achieve enlightenment and make a name for himself so that he could formally return to the sect. I just didn't expect him to make such a great name for himself after leaving the mountain..."

Hearing that Yu Ding had kept his matter in mind, Yuan Hong was moved and then smiled, saying, "Master hasn't shortchanged his disciple in any way, it's just a title. Even if I didn't have it, what would it matter? Does it mean I wouldn't be your disciple without it?"

Yu Ding laughed and said, "There will always be an opportunity. As your master, I will make sure you can rightfully acknowledge your master and return to the sect."

"Back when I split the mountain to save my mother," Yang Jian suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Yu Ding raised an eyebrow.

Yang Jian said, "When I failed to split the mountain to save my mother and stormed the Heavenly Court, Senior Brother Yuan came out to block the Heavenly General for me. We also discovered that we cultivated the same profound arts and techniques, and after a conversation, we learned that..."

So early... Yu Ding looked at Yuan Hong and then at Yang Jian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It's a shame they were tricked by the remnants of the Demon Court, and I went to all the trouble of disguising myself to help them, only to find out they were already...

but……

Yu Ding glanced at the two of them. One was as clever as a monkey, and the other was even more clever than a monkey. It was quite reasonable that they had met so early.

Yuan Hong felt guilty under Yu Ding's gaze: "Master, don't look at me like that. Back then, I was in such a mess with the Heavenly Court. If anyone else were to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace, wouldn't I have to go and help them out?"

Hmm… Yu Ding hesitated for a moment: “That time with Long Ji?”

Yuan Hong coughed lightly and said, "I went. I also went when Li Jing and his son made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace last time. Although he is not my junior brother, Junior Brother Ao was also there."

"You're quick to quit..." Yu Ding was about to curse, but upon hearing Li Jing and his son's words, he fell silent.

They're all traitors!

He taught them all himself! Unbelievable!

He himself is so eager to maintain the stability and peace of the Three Realms, but it turns out that dangerous elements come from his own sect... How can he, Jade Cauldron Immortal, face the world if word gets out? What will fellow immortals in the Three Realms think of him?

"Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore."

Yu Ding waved his hand and said, "I have come here today to tell you about some things that have happened in our sect..."

He then recounted the events of the Investiture of the Gods battlefield and the recent calamity suffered by the eleven Golden Immortals.

"What? My uncles and aunts..."

Is the human battlefield really that dangerous?

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian and Yuan Hong were both shocked. Although they were juniors, they had grown up very quickly.

Today, they thought their cultivation was no less than that of their senior uncles and aunts, but who knew that even those senior uncles and aunts would perish in this great calamity.

Yu Ding looked at the two of them: "That's right. In this great calamity, all disciples of my Jade Void lineage will be sent into the world for training. Our Jade Spring Mountain lineage has Ao Bing, so you don't need to worry about the others. You two just need to remember one thing: never get involved again, especially..."

He turned to look at Yuan Hong: "It's you!"

"I?"

Yuan Hong pointed to himself in surprise, almost laughing, but looking at Yu Ding's face, his expression gradually became serious: "Disciple has remembered."

Although he didn't know why, since his master said so, he would just listen to him. Anyway, he was certain that his master would not harm him.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ding nodded slightly.

Yang Jian was, after all, a third-generation disciple of the Jade Void Sect with impeccable lineage, and one of the seven who achieved physical sainthood in the final stages of the Investiture of the Gods. However, Yuan Hong perished in the calamity because he sided with the Yin Shang Dynasty.

He could have provided some protection when he was around, but now he doesn't know what the outcome of the opportunity he's waiting for will be, so he has to be more attentive.

After finishing the business, Yu Ding's expression softened, and he looked at Yuan Hong with a somewhat profound gaze.

He used the power of time to predict the future, wanting to see if Yuan Hong's future would change under his intervention.

From his perspective, the laws of time danced, directly blasting open a corner of the future. Yuan Hong stood in mid-air, looking up at the sky and letting out an angry roar. Golden flames erupted around him, causing the world to lose its color. The golden flames, like a raging torrent, showed a tendency to turn white, appearing and disappearing around him.

Opposite him was a three-eyed man with a divine dog standing at his feet.

Yu Ding: "..."

He originally wanted to read on, but the next moment an invisible force swept over, like waves washing over a beach, smoothing out the torn corner. The laws of time shattered into specks of light, and those scenes rapidly rewound, returning him to the private room of the restaurant in the blink of an eye.

Yu Ding groaned, his face paled, and he silently looked up at the sky before tightening his collar.

"Master, what's wrong? What's wrong with you...?" Yuan Hong and Yang Jian asked in surprise.

Yu Ding glanced at the two of them and said irritably, "Isn't it because of you two rebellious disciples that I'm so angry?"

As he spoke, his heart sank. It seemed that as long as the patriarch above didn't intend to change the script, all his efforts would be in vain.

Clearly, the predetermined future means that Yang Jian and Yuan Hong will have to fight again, but it's unclear whether it will be an official match or a friendly.

Thinking of his ancestor Yu Ding, he couldn't help but sigh. Today, he was experiencing firsthand the helplessness of his Uncle Tongtian in the Investiture of the Gods.

Knowing full well what was going to happen, yet powerless to change it, he could only watch helplessly as his disciples perished one by one…

There's no way around it; as long as this person is at the pinnacle of the primordial world, no matter who comes, they can't overturn the table, let alone turn the world upside down.

Yu Ding fell silent. With his current level of cultivation, he naturally understood the intention behind his three masters' investment of three strands of primordial pure energy in him.

With the combined Qi of the Three Pure Ones and the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch, this was Pangu's standard configuration. At that time, his Yuan Gong would undergo nine revolutions, and according to his previous calculations, the best outcome should be that he could cultivate into a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

At that time, the primordial world will gain another saint!
But of the six sages of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, three of his mentors were obedient, the two in the West were his henchmen, and Nuwa... adding one more would be enough for him to handle it.
Besides, if he wants to cultivate himself into a saint and become a traitor, would that patriarch give him that opportunity?
Yu Ding wouldn't gamble with his life. In any case, he already understood that even Yu Xu Palace was no longer safe. If he wanted to attain enlightenment, he had to go far away, at least beyond the control of this grandmaster.

Furthermore, it seems that his master's guidance on embarking on a multi-faceted path also had a deeper meaning... Thinking about it all, it's more likely that Yu Ding deduced it himself.

We were so angry... Yang Jian and Yuan Hong exchanged a glance, both speechless.

Didn't we just drop this topic? Why are we bringing them up again?
