I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Lady Tai Si took the Wind and Thunder Cudgel, a relieved smile appearing on her face: "Good child, compared to you, Ji Fa is simply unworthy of being a son."

Lei Zhenzi shook his head, about to say something, when he suddenly saw his mother vanish into the earth, along with the Wind and Thunder Cudgel, disappearing from sight.

After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "You beast, how dare you bully me like this?!"

Despite his anger and curses, he didn't lose his composure. Instead, he immediately sensed the aura of the Wind and Thunder Staff and chased after it out of the room. In mid-air, he opened his Dharma Eye and locked onto Tu Xingsun, who was constantly lurking underground.

Tu Xingsun was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he darted out of the palace. However, Lei Zhenzi, who had wings of wind and thunder, was even faster. After chasing away from Xiqi City, he unleashed bolts of lightning with his bare hands, frantically striking the ground.

The lightning was largely neutralized by the earth, but some strands of current still struck Tu Xingsun, causing his whole body to go numb and slowing his burrowing speed.

At the critical moment, Yang Jian broke through the clouds and arrived, his three-pointed double-edged sword carrying a dazzling blade aura, and slashed heavily towards Lei Zhenzi's face.

Having lost his weapon, Lei Zhenzi dared not take the attack head-on and could only dodge using his speed.

However, Yang Jian was not slow either. His blade spun in the air and once again touched Lei Zhenzi's body.

Lei Zhenzi looked terrified, dared not linger in the fight, and turned to run towards Xiqi City.

Yang Jian knew that he was Yun Zhongzi's disciple, and even if he caught up with him, he couldn't really kill him. Therefore, he simply put away his precious sword, summoned Tu Xingsun, and returned to Qishan to report back.

A short while later.

At the summit of Qishan Mountain.

Qin Yao took the Wind and Thunder Cudgel from Tu Xingsun and praised with a smile, "I knew that entrusting this task to the two of you would be foolproof."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian smiled subtly.

Tu Xingsun, somewhat carried away by his pride, said, "Of course, I'm very good at this kind of thing, it's a piece of cake for me."

Qin Yao didn't discourage him, but he also didn't flatter him anymore. He flipped his hand and put away the Wind and Thunder Staff, then sat cross-legged in the void: "I will now begin to refine the Wind and Thunder Cone. The day the cone is completed will be the day to break the formation!"

At the same time.

The Palace of Xiqi.

Ji Fa, Shen Gongbao, and the other Heavenly Lords looked up at Lei Zhenzi, who was approaching amidst wind and thunder, and their expressions changed.

"Second Brother." Lei Zhenzi landed in front of Ji Fa and greeted him softly.

"What happened?" Ji Fa asked.

Lei Zhenzi's lips twitched, and he glanced at Dong Quan in the crowd:
"Tu Xingsun bypassed the Wind Howling Formation from underground, sneaked into the palace, transformed into his mother's appearance, and tricked me into giving up my Wind and Thunder Cudgel."

Seeing the situation was dire, I immediately gave chase, but unexpectedly Yang Jian was waiting outside to provide backup, and in the end, we were unable to retrieve the magic weapon.

Dong Quan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "The prestigious Chan Sect has actually produced such a despicable person. It is truly contemptible and a disgrace to the sect!"

Everyone knew that he was downplaying his own mistakes.

But it can't really be considered a mistake, since no one expected that Jiang Ziya and the others would focus their attention on the Wind and Thunder Cudgel.

“Their attempt to steal the Wind and Thunder Staff was certainly not without reason,” Ji Fa said in a deep voice.

Shen Gongbao nodded slightly: "If my prediction is correct, it is most likely related to the Wind Howling Formation."

Dong Quan pondered and said, "I don't think the Wind and Thunder Staff can break my Wind Howling Formation, even though this magic weapon also has the word 'wind' in it."

Ji Fa said with a sincere expression, "Gentlemen, I feel very uneasy, as if I have a divine connection with you."

Dong Quan: "..."

"Grand Master, to ensure everything goes perfectly, let's think about who else we can get to help us," Ji Fa said, glancing sideways.

Shen Gongbao hesitated, "I can't think of a suitable candidate right now."

“I can recommend one to you,” Yuan Jiao suddenly said.

Shen Gongbao asked curiously, "Who?"

“Zhao Gongming of Luofu Cave on Mount Emei is also the universally recognized senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect.” Yuan Jiao said, “If you can invite him to come and support the formation, the Wind Howling Formation will surely be unbreakable.”

Ji Fa's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Grand Master, I believe that with your eloquence, you will be able to persuade Zhao Gongming to come out of seclusion."

However, after being defeated by Yuan Hong, Shen Gongbao was no longer so confident: "Your Majesty flatters me. I can't say everything. For example, the Seven Monsters of Meishan."

After saying that, he turned to look at Yuan Jiao and asked, "What kind of person is Zhao Gongming?"

Yuan Jiao laughed and said, "He is as fiery as fire, stubborn and impulsive, yet also incredibly righteous."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Gongbao suddenly felt reassured and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go to Luofu Cave on Mount Emei right now..."

In the blink of an eye.

Watching Shen Gongbao ride away on the clouds, Ji Fa gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and turned to look at Dong Quan: "Lord Dong, can the Wind Howling Formation be extended underground? Tu Xingsun was able to burrow underground to trick the Wind and Thunder Cudgel away, so he might be able to burrow underground to hurt people."

Dong Quan said, "The Wind Howling Formation cannot extend underground, but our divine sense can. Please rest assured, King Wu, I guarantee that something like this will not happen again."

Ji Fa said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you very much, Lord Dong Tianjun."

The next day.

As the golden rays of the rising sun bathed the summit of Qishan, Qin Yao, who had been sitting cross-legged in the void with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and took out a long-handled golden cone that gleamed in the sunlight.

The crowd gathered around him stared intently at him, and Yang Jiao asked softly, "Lord Jiang, is this the Wind and Thunder Cone?"

"That's right, this is the Wind and Thunder Cone. It can pierce through Dong Quan's wind bag and the howling wind array he set up with a single cone," Qin Yao replied with a smile.

Nezha's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Lord Jiang, I volunteer to fight!"

"it is good!"

Qin Yao raised his hand and pushed the Wind and Thunder Cone in mid-air in front of him, saying, "Go and break the formation with peace of mind. I will personally support you."

Nezha grabbed the Wind and Thunder Cone, stood on his Wind and Fire Wheels, and wrapped his arms with the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and said with a smile, "Watch me break through the formation, kill the enemy, and establish my achievements!"

After saying that, his body suddenly transformed into a red light, like a raging fire, and rushed towards the direction of the palace.

Inside the royal palace.

Dong Quan, who had been scanning with his divine sense the whole time, was the first to spot him and coldly shouted, "Who comes here to die?"

"Listen up! The one who breaks through the formation and slays the immortals is Nezha!" Nezha shouted and charged straight into the billowing smoke.

Amidst the howling winds, Dong Quan stared intently at Nezha and clicked his tongue, saying, "What a pity."

"What's a pity?" Nezha raised an eyebrow.

"It's a pity you're going to die so young," Dong Quan sneered, suddenly thrusting out his sword.

In an instant, a raging black wind rose up, stretching from the sky to the ground, rushing towards Nezha like a bladed tornado.

Nezha chuckled, completely ignoring the tornado, and suddenly threw out the Wind and Thunder Cone in his hand.

The Wind and Thunder Cone, carrying the force of wind and thunder, shot straight into the sky. With a soft "poof," it seemed to pierce something before returning to Nezha's hand.

As the cracking sound rang out, the black wind blade scroll that had reached Nezha quickly disintegrated, and the surrounding void continued to crumble.

Dong Quan was terrified and instinctively tried to flee the scene.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Nezha unleashed the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, striking first and enveloping Dong Quan within it.

Dong Quan brandished his sword, attempting to cleave through the barrier.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other Heavenly Lords also rushed into the fray. Some attacked the divine shield, while others charged at Nezha, hoping that there would be a way to save their fellow Daoist.

Nezha chuckled, chanting an incantation to activate the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. Nine flames instantly erupted from within the cover, precisely incinerating Dong Quan's body into ashes…

"You little beast, I'll kill you!" Yuan Jiao roared. Nezha unleashed his three heads and six arms, fighting alone against the Heavenly Lords. In the midst of the battle, he suddenly withdrew his divine fire shield and prepared to leave.

However, the vengeful gods would not let him leave, and each one desperately tried to stop him, each move aimed straight for his vital points.

At the summit of Qishan, Qin Yao observed this scene from a distance and suddenly waved the apricot-yellow flag.

A beam of golden light shot out from the flag and instantly arrived on the battlefield, wrapping around Nezha's waist and pulling him directly out of the Heavenly Emperor's encirclement.

"I will come back again." Nezha waved to the Heavenly Emperors who couldn't catch up, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The Heavenly Lords were furious and immediately set out to pursue them.

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy, don't pursue a desperate enemy!"

Ji Fa suddenly blocked the way for the Heavenly Lords, shouting, "Beware of traps! Jiang Ziya and the others haven't appeared yet!"

The Heavenly Kings were startled, but quickly regained their composure.

Only now did they realize that the enemy had broken their formation and killed one of their fellow cultivators by sending out just Nezha...

at the same time.

Mount Emei, Luofu Cave.

Shen Gongbao stood before a middle-aged Taoist priest with a resolute face and a black mustache, his lips practically worn out from talking, but the other man remained completely unresponsive.

"Brother Dao, did you hear what I just said?" Gradually, Shen Gongbao became anxious and asked with a hint of anger.

Zhao Gongming glanced at him and said, "The Master has already said that reciting the Yellow Court Classic in seclusion will bring disaster to the Western Lands. What difference is there between you advising me to return to the West and sending me to my death?"

Shen Gongbao sneered: "I understand now. It turns out that the mighty Zhao Gongming is actually a coward who fears death."

Zhao Gongming frowned slightly: "You are misinterpreting my meaning."

"Isn't it just that you're afraid of dying?"

Shen Gongbao provoked them, saying, "The Heavenly Lords have misjudged him. They think Brother Zhao is so righteous and willing to sacrifice his life for his fellow disciples, but he's actually just a cowardly giant baby. I'll go back and tell them to give up on him."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhao Gongming's cheek twitched violently, and he shouted coldly, "Stop!"

Shen Gongbao's lips curled slightly, but as he turned around, his expression turned indifferent again: "Brother Dao, is there something you want me to pass on? As long as it's not something like the Western Lands suffering disaster, I can pass it on for you."

Zhao Gongming said, "There is something I don't understand."

"Please speak, fellow Daoist," Shen Gongbao said.

"Aren't you an immortal of the Chan Sect? Why don't you go and invite the masters of the Chan Sect, but instead come to invite me?" Zhao Gongming said.

Shen Gongbao paused slightly and sighed, "Brother Dao, you may not know this, but I am an immortal of the Chan Sect, and so is Jiang Ziya."

Moreover, I am far less favored than him in the sect, as can be seen from the fact that the Celestial Venerable handed the Apricot Yellow Banner to him.

Therefore, if I were to ask the immortals of the Chan Sect to make things difficult for him, they would certainly disagree.

Zhao Gongming scrutinized him and asked, "Really?"

"It's true."

Shen Gongbao said, "To be honest, I've long since stopped wanting to stay in the Chan Sect."

"If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to lead me into the Jie Sect and make me a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, I will henceforth follow your lead without question."

Zhao Gongming asked in astonishment, "You want to join the Jie Sect?"

“Yes, the Chan Sect looks down on me and treats me differently. How could I possibly have any good feelings towards the Jade Void Palace?” Shen Gongbao retorted.

Zhao Gongming remained silent for a moment, then slowly rose: "Very well, I'll go with you to Xiqi. That Jiang Ziya, he really went too far..."

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and said, "I will lead the way for you, fellow Daoist!"

Not long after.

The two Taoist priests rode the clouds and landed in Xiqi. However, as soon as they stepped into the palace, they found the atmosphere to be somewhat sad and solemn.

"What's wrong? Where's Dong Tianjun?" Shen Gongbao asked first.

Upon hearing the inquiry, all the Heavenly Lords raised their heads, and upon seeing Zhao Gongming, they hurriedly rose to greet him.

“Dong Tianjun… was killed by Nezha, who was under Jiang Ziya’s command,” Ji Fa said.

Shen Gongbao exclaimed in astonishment, "Nezha? He has that kind of strength?"

Yuan Jiao said, "Jiang Ziya forged a golden cone from the Wind and Thunder Staff, which pierced through the Wind Howling Formation in one strike."

Once the formation was broken, Fellow Daoist Dong was burned to death by the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Shen Gongbao: "..."

"What a brilliant Jiang Ziya! What a brilliant Nezha!" Zhao Gongming's face darkened as he asked, "Where are they?"

“It’s right here on Mount Qi,” Shen Gongbao replied.

Zhao Gongming nodded silently, then suddenly took to the air.

"Everyone, I'm going to lend a hand to Brother Zhao."

Shen Gongbao said something urgently, and then flew towards Qishan.

At the summit of Qishan Mountain.

Qin Yao stared at the figure shooting towards him from the void, and countless thoughts immediately surfaced in his mind.

Whether according to the original novel of Investiture of the Gods or the plot line in this world, the other party is the pinnacle of outer disciples.

Once he is killed, the flames of war will instantly shift from the outer sect of the Jie Sect to the inner sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader's plan to deceive Haotian will fail, and the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect will have no room for maneuver...

"Jiang Ziya!"

As Zhao Gongming crashed heavily onto Mount Qi, his gaze swept across the crowd and immediately locked onto Qin Yao, who was holding the apricot-yellow flag.

Qin Yao clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist, and on which immortal mountain do you cultivate?"

Zhao Gongming coldly said, "I am Zhao Gongming from Luofu Cave on Mount Emei. Jiang Ziya, you killed the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island first, and then the Three Heavenly Lords. Aren't you afraid of being punished by my Jie Sect?"

Qin Yao silently lowered his arm and said, "I've explained this matter many times, but it's no use. It's like saying it now: 'Please return to the mountain, fellow Daoist, and refrain from worldly calamities.' Would you listen?"

Zhao Gongming raised his hand and took out a divine whip, pointing it at Qin Yao's face:

"You persuade this Mo Ran to kill the calamity, and you persuade that Mo Ran to kill the calamity, but aren't you yourself right in the heart of the calamity? You can kill my fellow Daoists, and I can kill you too."

After saying that, he immediately rushed towards Qin Yao's location.

Yang Jian raised his three-pointed double-edged sword and instantly stood between the two, coldly saying, "If you want to hurt Lord Jiang, you'll have to get past me first."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Zhao Gongming swung his whip and struck hard, the whip's shadows spreading like a black lotus in bloom.

Yang Jian raised his sword to parry, but after only thirty rounds, his arms went numb and his expression changed drastically.

"Brother Yang, I'm here to lend you a hand."

Nezha roared and, wielding his Fire-Tipped Spear, charged fiercely into the battlefield.

Zhao Gongming remained fearless, fighting two generals alone and still gaining the upper hand.

Seeing this, Tu Xingsun, Huang Tianhua, the Black Dragon, and the Qilin joined the battle, finally making him feel a slight pressure. With a thought, he suddenly summoned divine pearls, which released five-colored light... (End of this chapter)
