Chapter 3376 Flaw
Many grievances in the world are not insurmountable.

The Holy Mother of Wudang had done many mediations in the past and had also persuaded emperors to rescind their orders.

But she didn't expect this feud to be so troublesome, and that the Holy Mother of Wudang was in considerable trouble.

She didn't understand why Daojun had fallen so low, being hit by a stone by Zhang Xuezhou and unable to stand up. This was not how Daojun should be.

If possible, the Holy Mother of Wudang would prefer that Daojun die somewhere else, rather than on her territory.

The thought that after Daojun died here, various powerful cultivators would inevitably come to check on the situation and question Wudang Shengmu. Some of these powerful cultivators would even question why Wudang Shengmu did not save him. Wudang Shengmu's head was throbbing with pain.

What appears to be a feud between Zhang Xuezhou and Daojun actually involves Wudang Shengmu, and may even provide an excuse for others to cause trouble.

"You two..."

The Holy Mother of Wudang sighed.

Daojun's matter is difficult to resolve, and Zhang Xuezhou is also a big problem.

The relationship between Wudang Holy Mother and Zhang Xuezhou wasn't extensive, but she had tested Zhang Xuezhou before and found that he was not only eloquent but also increasingly powerful in his cultivation.

Given that she managed to smash Daojun to this state, her chances of successfully taking sides are not very high.

If the other party manages to escape back to Chang'an, and the emperor of Chang'an were to die, her underground palace at Mount Li would likely be completely destroyed.

"Lu Daojun, is there really no room for maneuver regarding that Seven Arrows of Nailhead Book?"

The crucial point of contention between Zhang Xuezhou and Daojun lies in Daojun's incantations. The emperor of the Han Dynasty teetered on the brink of life and death, creating an irreconcilable conflict that even the Holy Mother of Wudang found difficult to mediate.

She had to repeatedly ask Daojun, hoping he would lift the curse.

Only if Daojun's spells do not cause death can she ease the conflict between them.

"I said the arrow would never return!"

Daojun vomited a mouthful of blood.

When the Holy Mother of Wudang repeatedly inquired about this matter, Zhang Xuezhou did not drop the stone he was holding, as he listened intently for the answer.

His physical power was on the verge of collapse; breaking through his defenses would kill him instantly.

He had lived for so long, how could he not know the conditions under which he could barely survive? But that was how his cultivation was; every killing technique was fatal, and there was no room for maneuver.

Even if he dies, the new emperor, who is cursed with the Seven Arrows Nailhead, will also die within seven days.

His spells have few counters; conventional protective talismans cannot save the opponent's life.

"Look, it's not that I'm in the wrong, but he's come all the way to Chang'an to cause trouble. He's practically riding on my face. I really don't believe that any great cultivator in the Heavenly Court or the Celestial Court would stand up for someone like him!"

Zhang Xuezhou spat out a word and, without hesitation, threw the stone in his hand into the distance.

When he saw the flying stone being turned into stone chips by the Holy Mother Wudang with a flick of her hand, he couldn't help but frown slightly, knowing that his actions had crossed the Holy Mother Wudang's bottom line.

Daojun was indeed about to be smashed to death by him. It was a very simple method of attack, but also a very effective one.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Holy Mother Wudang, Daojun would have already died, and these fallen and piled-up stones would have been Daojun's grave.

“Not everyone is willing to reason,” said the Holy Mother Wudang. “They will ignore what you’ve said. I advise you to give up. After all, your health is too compromised, and you have no chance of defeating them. They will definitely repay the favor Daojun did for you back then to prove that they are loyal and righteous!”

I really dislike what you're saying!

Zhang Xuezhou frowned. Daojun and the others were unfamiliar with Chang'an, but the Holy Mother of Wudang was extremely familiar with it.

If the Holy Mother of Wudang cooperates in leading the way, unless he leaves Chang'an and never returns to this place, he will inevitably be found by her.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou were to regain his senses, it would be of no use, since his flying technique was not top-notch and he would inevitably be followed if he encountered a fellow traveler.

Just like when he followed Daojun, he was bound to be caught and then get into trouble.

Just as he threatened Our Lady of Motta, Our Lady of Motta also kindly offered a warning.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to take action against the Holy Mother of Wudang in order to prevent the information from being leaked, where would he get the ability to do that?

This caused everyone to fall silent.

The Virgin Mary of Wudang didn't persuade anyone, but she dragged everyone into an awkward situation, including herself.

"You have to listen even if you don't like it. You all have to back down, or no one will get away with it," said the Holy Mother Wudang. "You...you're up to something, aren't you? Are you thinking of ways to kill me?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang tried to persuade him, but she focused her attention on Daojun the most. When her gaze inadvertently turned to Zhang Xuezhou, she felt that there seemed to be all sorts of evil in his eyes, as if he was about to give up and do something reckless.

“Fellow Daoist Wudang, haven’t you noticed that as long as you die, he will solve all the problems caused by the leak?” Daojun sighed.

"He can only destroy the secret place where I live. There is no way he can kill me. At my level of cultivation, unless Dao Lord you attack me or Yuanshi Tianzun personally comes to kill me, I will not face a high risk of death. His strength is not likely to be stronger than Yuanshi Tianzun!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang felt a jolt in her heart, knowing that the Lord was trying to persuade and win over allies through words, while Zhang Xuezhou was taking an extremely dangerous approach.

She responded quickly, firstly indicating that her cultivation was sufficient, and while she wouldn't kill anyone, she could certainly protect herself. On the other hand, she also warned Daojun that her secret place would be destroyed, making it difficult for Daojun to use the Lishan underground palace to hide and recover from his injuries.

"Although I am unwilling to ask others for help, I have been fortunate enough to be admitted to the Jade Void Sect. Perhaps I really do have some abilities!"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the small Qiankun bag and took out the jade tablet given by Yuanshi Tianzun, which made Wudang Shengmu sigh.

"You're trying to fool people with your words again. The real token for entering the Jade Void Sect isn't this one," said the Holy Mother Wudang. "Many people may recognize this token, but it can't fool me. After all, I have three or four identical Heavenly Gate Tokens here!"

When his attempt to intimidate others was exposed, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.

He attempted to mislead the Holy Mother of Wudang, giving her the illusion that he had a close relationship with the Primordial Celestial Venerable, thereby creating the illusion that he could kill the other party, forcing the Holy Mother of Wudang to leave while keeping the secret. However, his scheme was quickly exposed, and it was the Holy Mother of Wudang who was truly connected with the Celestial Venerable.

For a cultivator of Wudang Saint Mother's level to feel that killing a Dao Lord would be troublesome, this is indeed a thorny matter.

However, since the new emperor was struck by the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, Zhang Xuezhou could only try to kill the spellcaster to break the curse. Otherwise, his way of seeking good fortune would be cut off, and the consequences would be unacceptable to Zhang Xuezhou.

After their back-and-forth scheming proved fruitless, Zhang Xuezhou could only continue picking and choosing stones to throw randomly, while the Holy Mother of Wudang helplessly tried to stop him to prevent Daojun from dying on her territory.

The Daoist Lord in the pile of rocks repeatedly tried to seize this opportunity to recover his body, and even took out a spirit jade.

But the more adjustments he made, the more desperate Daojun felt.

He really had a serious problem with his body. Not only did his soul feel like it could shatter at the slightest touch, but worse, his body was filled with a kind of yin fire.

He cannot expel this yin fire in the present moment. If he waits until his body recovers, this yin fire will inevitably grow stronger and become a major problem for his body.

This eliminated any chance for the Holy Mother of Wudang to buy him time to recover, and no matter how much he struggled at that moment, he could not escape this vicious cycle of death.

After pondering for a long time, Daojun finally realized a flaw in his spell.

This might give him a real chance to catch his breath.
