Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 320 The Golden Spirit Mother Snatches the Child

Upon hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, a disdainful smile appeared on Jinling Shengmu's face.

"Even if Ji Chang adopts him as his son, it cannot change the fact that he is my grand-disciple. If you return him to me today, all will be well; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and tearing down your Zhongnan Mountain."

Yun Zhongzi didn't believe that the Golden Spirit Mother was joking with him. For a moment, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, Lei Zhenzi was the one destined to shield him from calamity.

If the Golden Spirit Mother were to take him away like this, wouldn't he have to personally enter the Investiture of the Gods? Whether he could survive the Investiture of the Gods would be hard to say.

But if I don't hand over Lei Zhenzi, will the Golden Spirit Mother let this go? In the end, not only will I not be able to keep Lei Zhenzi, but I will also be humiliated.

Left with no other choice, Yun Zhongzi crushed the jade talisman Zhen Yuanzi had given him in hopes of alerting Zhen Yuanzi and getting his help in defeating the Golden Spirit Mother.

Little did Yun Zhongzi know that his little tricks had already been seen by the Golden Spirit Mother. However, the Golden Spirit Mother did not stop him, but simply smiled gently.

At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi in the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain also sensed Yun Zhongzi's distress signal immediately.

This made Zhen Yuanzi frown. "Didn't Yun Zhongzi go to Yanshan to take Lei Zhenzi as his disciple? Could it be that he encountered Taoist disciples trying to steal his apprentice again?"

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Li Jing's eldest son Jinzha, second son Muzha, and Huang Tianhua were all kidnapped by Daoist disciples.

Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi did not hesitate at all. He immediately broke through the void and disappeared from Wuzhuang Temple.

When Zhen Yuanzi reappeared, he was already standing in front of Yun Zhongzi. This finally put Yun Zhongzi's mind at ease.

He immediately bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Disciple greets Master, please grant me your request."

Zhen Yuanzi asked Yun Zhongzi, "What grievances have you suffered? Just tell your master, and I will naturally seek justice for you."

Yun Zhongzi answered without hesitation, "This disciple is on my master's orders to go to Yanshan to take Lei Zhenzi as my disciple."

"Unexpectedly, I encountered the Golden Spirit Mother of the Daoist sect on the way. She claimed that Lei Zhenzi was her grand-disciple. She demanded that I hand Lei Zhenzi over to her, or she would destroy my Zhongnan Mountain."

Watching Yun Zhongzi and Zhen Yuanzi sing in unison, a mocking smile couldn't help but appear on the lips of the Golden Spirit Mother.

He immediately said, "A dignified saint of the Chan Sect doesn't need to put on an act in front of a junior like me. Just hand over Lei Zhenzi to me and take him back to Qinglian Island."

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi had arrived, and that Jinling Shengmu still dared to be so fearless, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

She immediately snorted coldly and said, "Golden Spirit Mother, what is your punishment for not bowing to a saint?"

As Yun Zhongzi rebuked Jinling Shengmu, Zhen Yuanzi's saintly aura also pressed down directly on her.

With the cultivation level of the Golden Spirit Mother, it was simply impossible for her to remain standing still under the saintly pressure of Zhen Yuanzi.

But the ending surprised Zhen Yuanzi greatly, because the Golden Spirit Mother not only did not kneel down, but also had a mocking smile on her lips.

And he directly said, "What a powerful aura of a sage! Could it be that the sage of the Chan Sect intends to bully the weak and attack a junior like me?"

Zhen Yuanzi snorted and said, "Your master failed to teach you properly. Today, I will teach you what respect and hierarchy mean." As he spoke, he lashed out with his dragon-skin seven-star whip, aiming it at the Golden Spirit Mother.

With her cultivation level, the Golden Spirit Mother was utterly powerless against a Saint. She couldn't even dodge a Saint's attacks.

But just as the Dragon Skin Seven-Star Whip was about to strike the Golden Spirit Mother, a beam of azure light descended from the sky, cleaving the Dragon Skin Seven-Star Whip in two.

Then the azure light transformed into a precious sword, which directly blocked the path of the Golden Spirit Mother. It was none other than the Heavenly Proving Artifact, the Azure Lotus Sword.

Seeing the Qingping Sword appear out of thin air, it was obvious that Tongtian had arrived. This also made Zhen Yuanzi understand why the Golden Spirit Mother was able to withstand his saintly pressure.

He immediately snorted coldly and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Tongtian has come, why hide your face and not dare to show your true identity?"

"Could it be that you feel your sect is in the wrong and are embarrassed to meet me? If so, I will not hold a grudge against a junior."

After speaking, Zhen Yuanzi prepared to leave with Yun Zhongzi. After all, this place had become a dangerous and troublesome place for Zhen Yuanzi.

Putting aside the fact that several saints from Qinglian Island came, just Tongtian alone, along with the Four Swords of Zhuxian in his hand, was enough to make him lose face.

But how could Tongtian possibly allow Zhen Yuanzi to leave? The next moment, Tongtian appeared in front of Zhen Yuanzi and blocked his way.

Tongtian smiled and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, shouldn't you give me an explanation for robbing my Daoist disciples like this?"

"Do you think that if you just leave, I won't be able to do anything to you? Don't forget, I know where Longevity Mountain is."

Zhen Yuanzi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said directly to Tongtian, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, we made a deal when we discussed the Investiture of the Gods in Zixiao Palace back then."

"Qinglian Island assists King Di Xin of Shang, while our Xuanmen Three Teachings assist Ji Fa of Xiqi. This Lei Zhenzi is Ji Chang's adopted son, so he should naturally be a general of Xiqi."

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Tongtian intends to disregard the agreement made at Zixiao Palace years ago and extend his reach into Xiqi?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian couldn't help but sneer and said, "Then how do you explain Guangchengzi and Chijingzi of your Chan Sect wanting to take their deceased sons, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, as disciples?"

“Lei Zhenzi is merely Ji Chang’s adopted son, yet you accuse me of interfering in Xiqi. But Yin Jiao and Yin Hong are Emperor Xin’s own sons; what are you to say about that?”

Zhen Yuanzi was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Tongtian. After all, everything Tongtian said made sense, and how could he possibly refute it?

You can't just say, "My Chan Sect controls the Investiture of the Gods, so we have special privileges." What my Chan Sect can do, your Qinglian Island can't.

Now that things have come to this, Zhen Yuanzi has no choice but to entrust Lei Zhenzi to Tongtian. Otherwise, he will have to fight Tongtian.

But if Zhen Yuanzi and Tongtian fight, what is the essential difference between them and Yun Zhongzi and Jinling Shengmu fighting?

Even so, Zhen Yuanzi still refused to submit. At this moment, four sword beams appeared above Tongtian's head, hanging in the air in the four directions of east, west, south, and north, with Tongtian as the center.

Immediately following was a formation diagram that appeared above Tongtian's head. Once the diagram descended, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation could be set up instantly.
