I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Okay, I'll give it a try~"

Alan nodded, raised his hand to form a seal, and released a beam of blue immortal light as thick as an ordinary person's arm, which rushed straight towards the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Qin Yao's soul silently controlled the lotus platform, actively accepting the rapidly approaching blue immortal light and continuously storing this power inside the lotus platform.

After half an hour.

As Alan's immortal energy gradually depleted, her face turned uncontrollably pale. She couldn't help but ask, "I'm almost out of immortal energy, isn't that enough?"

"Alright," Qin Yao replied, "You can stop now, I'm about to break the seal."

Alan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed her hand seals to release the immortal energy transmission state.

With a thought, Qin Yao unleashed a burst of flames from the bottom of the Karmic Fire Lotus, dissecting the thorns on his body into ashes like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, without damaging his clothes in the slightest.

Alan watched in amazement and asked, "May I ask your name, where you live, and who your master is?"

Qin Yao responded with a smile, "My name is A Yao. I have wandered the world and am a disciple of the Maoshan Taoist sect."

"Maoshan Sect?" Alan blinked, but couldn't recall any relevant information.

Qin Yao nodded, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Where is the young lady?"

Alan paused slightly, then said somewhat guiltily, "My name is Alan, and I'm here to see my seventh sister."

"Do you need any help?" Qin Yao asked casually.

Alan waved her hand repeatedly: "No need... It's getting late, I have to hurry and find my seventh sister; Ayao, see you again if fate allows."

"Wait a moment!"

With a flick of his hand, Qin Yao summoned a peach wood talisman and teleported it to the other party: "I cannot forget your life-saving grace. Please accept this peach wood talisman, young lady."

If you encounter any difficulties or crises, you can infuse the peach wood talisman with divine energy, and I will arrive immediately to help you resolve your problems.

Alan smiled and raised her hand to grasp the peach wood talisman: "Okay..."

A short while later.

Watching Alan's figure disappear into the mountain village, Qin Yao sat down on the ground and sent the Karmic Fire Red Lotus into his body. He hovered above the blue shackles, letting down a wisp of blue immortal energy that transformed into a blue bubble that enveloped the blue shackles.

In an instant, he felt a surge of comfort, as if a heavy shackle had been removed, and his physical body could now withstand and release more spiritual power.

The Jade Pool of Heaven.

In front of the temple.

The usually jovial Laozi suddenly changed his expression and abruptly turned to look in the direction of the Tushita Palace.

"What's wrong, Laozi?" Barefoot Immortal asked.

"The compass is acting strangely; I must go back and check on it immediately," Lao Tzu replied.

The barefoot immortal's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "I'll go with you!"

The unusual movement of the compass indicates either the emergence of a great demon or a great calamity somewhere in the Three Realms; either possibility would stir his mind.

“Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, if the Empress asks, I would be grateful if you could help me say so,” said Laozi, glancing sideways.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King nodded solemnly: "No problem, I'll wait for you to return."

In the blink of an eye, the two immortals flew swiftly to the Tushita Palace and came straight to a magic array. Looking up, they saw a large "ladle" (scoop) suspended in the air above the divine plate, its red light flashing, which made them uneasy.

"The Yin Erosion King!" Laozi, combining his calculations with the divine compass, suddenly changed his expression.

"The Yin Erosion King?" The Barefoot Immortal's pupils dilated violently, and a chill ran through his body.

No one dared to underestimate this evil god who had once rivaled the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother five million years ago.

Laozi nodded slightly: "I suspect that Yin Shi Wang has already broken free from its seal."

"How is this possible?" the Barefoot Immortal exclaimed in disbelief.

That evil god was sealed away by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Although many years have passed, it shouldn't have been reborn.

“I also hope it’s impossible, but the compass has indeed conveyed this message to me.” Laozi said urgently, “Hurry, let’s go see the Queen Mother as soon as possible and tell her about this.”

Barefoot Immortal dared not delay, and immediately flew out of the Tushita Palace with the old man, appearing in front of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the door, they saw the Queen Mother in a rage, and they could be heard saying things like "theft" in the background.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the Queen Mother, in her rage, had not noticed the two of them, the Barefoot Immortal had no choice but to shout.

Inside the temple's inner palace, the Queen Mother, dressed in a magnificent red gown and with a dignified and aloof expression, exhaled softly and said in a clear voice, "Please come in, you two great immortals."

The two immortals then lined up side by side, and Laozi couldn't help but ask, "What did Your Majesty lose?"

He suspected that the thing the Queen Mother lost was related to the escaped Yin Shi King!
The Queen Mother tried her best to control her emotions, but she still quietly clenched her hands: "The peaches, a whole nine top-grade peaches, have disappeared without anyone noticing."

Lao Tzu: "..."

This is probably not the work of the Shadow King; it's just that I'm overthinking things.

"By the way, why did you two come in such a hurry? Did something happen?" the Queen Mother asked.

Laozi took a deep breath and reported, "Your Majesty, the compass is behaving strangely. I suspect that the Yin Erosion King has been born."

“Impossible, the Seven... Yin Erosion King could not possibly break free of the seal,” the Queen Mother said subconsciously.

Laozi bowed and said, "Please investigate immediately, Your Majesty."

After weighing the pros and cons and considering the priorities, the Queen Mother said in a solemn voice, "Please, you two immortals, come with me to the forbidden area..."

half an hour.

The seventh princess, Azi, hurriedly followed the sixth princess, Alan, to heaven and quietly sneaked into the Yaochi Princess's residence, much to the relief of the five tense princesses.

"I did it! I really did it!"

Seeing their relieved expressions, Alan said excitedly.

"Yes, I knew you could do it."

Ah Lü smiled and said, "Sixth Sister, remember this: once you've decided that something is absolutely necessary to do, then go ahead and do it without hesitation. As for the outcome, leave it to fate."

"The ceremony is about to begin, let's practice our dance first," Ah Hong said earnestly, glancing at the sky outside.

"Okay," the six fairies replied in unison.

One hour later.

The Peach Banquet officially began. Seven fairies, led by little fairy maidens, arrived at the main hall of Yaochi and danced gracefully, but failed to elicit a single cheer.

The reason is simple: the Queen Mother of the West, Laozi, and the Barefoot Immortal, among other immortals, were either absent-minded or looked solemn, making the atmosphere at the banquet very dull. No one dared to breathe loudly, let alone cheer or applaud.

Wishing my mother a long and healthy life.

As the dance ended, the seven fairies spoke according to the procedure they had rehearsed.

The Queen Mother forced a smile and waved her hand, saying, "Please take a seat, and serve peaches!"

She was in no mood to celebrate anything right now, mainly because they had just discovered that the demonic fire had disappeared inside the forbidden area, which meant that the Shadow King had most likely left the forbidden area.

The problem is, with the Jade Emperor absent, they cannot confirm anything further; and if they forcibly break the seal from the outside, they risk releasing the Yin Erosion King…

world.

Inside the hill.

Qin Yao glimpsed this scene through the peach wood talisman on A Lan's body, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The atmosphere is so heavy, could it be that they have already discovered that they have left the seal?
Could it be a warning from the compass in the Tushita Palace?

Thinking of this, he decided that once the seal on his body was loosened further, he would find a way to sneak into the Tushita Palace and steal the compass directly, so as not to suffer losses from this thing in the future. Not long after.

The eerie Peach Banquet came to an end. After the seven fairies returned to their palace, the eldest sister, Ah Hong, immediately said:

"Azi, as you just saw, the atmosphere in Heaven is very strange, or rather, very tense. Something important must have happened. You should stay in Heaven for a few days and not come down to the mortal realm for now."

"No."

Azi shook her head and said, "A day in heaven is a year on earth. If Dong Yong doesn't see me for several years, he'll think I've abandoned him."

“You can send someone to tell him,” Ah Hong said.

Azi waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't trust sending someone. I'd better go down myself."

“Then you must come up quickly,” Ah Hong urged. “For some reason, I have a feeling of unease, as if something terrible is about to happen.”

Azi comforted her, "Don't scare yourself. I'll go now and be right back."

Having said that, she immediately transformed into a streak of purple light and vanished from the palace in an instant.

The Celestial Realm, at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Barefoot Immortal was anxiously preparing to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a purple light streaking across the sky, descending to the mortal realm without passing through the Southern Heavenly Gate. He frowned and secretly followed it...

world.

Inside the hill.

Qin Yao silently got up and quickly went from the foot of the mountain to the top. He looked up at the Dong family's courtyard in the mountain village, pondering what reason to give to approach A Zi and what excuse to use to ask A Zi for help.

Just as he was deep in thought, a streak of purple light landed in front of the Dong family's door, pushed open the wooden door, and called out with a smile, "Husband, husband, I'm back."

"Miss!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with delicate features and an honest and simple appearance ran out of the room, his joy evident in his eyes.

"You look silly," Azi teased.

Dong Yong chuckled, then couldn't help but hug the other person: "You've been gone for almost two months, I was so worried about you."

Azi's expression changed slightly: "I still have to leave for a while..."

"Seventh Princess, how dare you!"

Before she could explain, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the horizon.

Azi's body trembled violently. She turned around abruptly and saw the Barefoot Immortal flying towards her, right up to the sky above the courtyard...

"Who are you?" Dong Yong instinctively shielded his wife behind him and asked, suppressing his fear.

The Barefoot Immortal coldly said, "You, a mere mortal, dare to defile the purity of the Heavenly Princess; your crime is truly unforgivable!"

In his eyes, the Seventh Princess finding such a man was like a person finding a beast to pair with.

Azi bit her lip and said with a pale face, "Don't hurt him, I'll go with you."

The Barefoot Immortal said indifferently, "He's coming with me too!"

“I seduced him,” Azi hissed in a low voice.

Barefoot Immortal: "..."

After a moment of silence, looking down at the female immortal who resembled a tigress, he could only say indifferently, "Then, your crime will be compounded."

Azi: "..."

"No, that's not how it is! If you have a problem, come at me!" Dong Yong shouted.

Azi raised her hand and stroked his face. As a wisp of celestial energy entered his nostrils, Dong Yong's vision quickly blurred.

"Miss..."

"My husband, forget about me."

A tear rolled down Azi's cheek, and with a flick of her sleeve, she carried him into the house.

The Barefoot Immortal shook his head: "The word 'love' truly has a lot of harmful effects."

At the mountaintop.

Qin Yao stood facing the wind, quietly watching this scene.

Under the restrictions of the seal, he was not confident in killing this top-tier combatant, so he could not appear as the savior of the Heavenly Match.

Moreover, exposing himself too early would be a very unwise move for him. Only by remaining hidden while the enemy is in the open can he maximize his own safety.

In the blink of an eye, after the Barefoot Immortal took Azi away, Qin Yao rode the wind and went straight to Dong Yong's side, waving his sleeve to relieve his unconscious state.

"My wife!!!"

Dong Yong suddenly stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"She has been taken away," Qin Yao said calmly.

Dong Yong looked in the direction of the voice, and the hairs on his body immediately stood on end: "And who are you?"

Qin Yao paused slightly, then said, "Perhaps it is your hope."

"Hope?" Dong Yong was taken aback.

Qin Yao nodded: "To put it more bluntly, I can help you win back your wife."

Like a drowning man grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, Dong Yong hurriedly asked, "How do I do it?"

He knew that there were no free lunches, and no one would help him for no reason, but he had no other choice now.

Faced with a flying god, what could a cowherd like him possibly do, let alone fight for anything?

Qin Yao said, "I'll find a way to arrange a meeting between you two after A Zi's verdict is announced."

Dong Yong tensed up again: "That day the god said that her crime would be compounded... What kind of punishment is this compounded crime?"

"You'll see when you see it."

Qin Yao then summoned the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, using his untainted magical power to connect with the peach wood talisman on A Lan's body, thereby unleashing a Mystic Mirror.

Inside the Princess's residence.

Upon hearing that Azi had been captured from the mortal realm by the Barefoot Immortal, the six princesses were thrown into chaos. Ultimately, led by the eldest princess, they rushed to the Lingxiao Palace in a great hurry.

Looking up, they saw the Barefoot Immortal recounting what he had witnessed in the temple and demanding that the Queen Mother severely punish Azi to set things right.

On the dragon throne, the Queen Mother truly felt utterly exhausted.

The peaches were stolen, and the Yin Erosion King was suspected of being born. Before these two matters could be resolved, the Barefoot Immortal stumbled upon Xiao Qi's affair...

How did so many bad things happen all at once?
"Zi'er, do you know your mistake?"

“I did nothing wrong.” Azi fell to the ground, but held her head high: “The seven emotions and six desires are the nature of living beings. Heavenly rules forbid gods from having emotions, which is because heavenly rules are heartless.”

"What do you know?" the Queen Mother said sternly. "When immortals fall in love, the Three Realms are thrown into turmoil. This is a lesson learned with blood and tears. How dare you question it?"

"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future," Azi said. "It's true that harsh measures are used in chaotic times, but should harsh measures also be used in peaceful times?"

“Stubborn to the end.” The Barefoot Immortal said lightly, “Your Majesty, please follow the Heavenly Rules, remove her immortal bones, and throw her into the Heavenly Prison to be punished.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Yong, a man from the mortal world, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Qin Yao glanced at him and reassured him, "Don't worry, this is her first offense, and with the Queen Mother's protection, she won't suffer too much."

Dong Yong was skeptical, clenching his fists and staring intently at the Xuan Guang Mirror, his heart pounding in his chest... (End of Chapter)
