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

Chapter 365 Jiang Ziya Wants Revenge
The Fairy of Clouds lightly flicked her sleeves, and a ray of green light flowed in her palm. Her gaze was like water, yet it concealed a sharp edge.

"The Ten Deadly Formations are a secret of the Jie Sect. Each of the ten Heavenly Kings controls one of them, and they are linked together. If you don't know the secrets of them, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would suffer a great loss if he entered."

The candlelight in the tent flickered, casting a somber glow on everyone's faces. Zhang Guifang clasped her hands in a fist salute and said, "Please, Senior Sister Yunxiao, teach us the method to break the formation."

Yunxiao nodded, then continued, "However, this Ten Deadly Formations has one major weakness: once the person breaking the formation uses a ritual to break it, the Ten Deadly Formations will become insignificant."

"However, all of my Taoist disciples are upright and honest, and would never stoop to using such a sacrificial method to break the Ten Deadly Formations."

"Moreover, the Ten Heavenly Lords should also be aware of the weaknesses of their own great formation. It is inevitable that they would make arrangements in advance, using innate spiritual treasures as the core of the formation."

"The Heavenly Annihilation Formation is based on innate pure energy, while the Earthly Fierce Formation uses the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds as its guide."

Yunxiao drew a line in the air with his fingertips, and ten miniature arrays condensed into azure light and rotated in the air, demonstrating the Ten Deadly Arrays directly in front of everyone.

This inevitably shocked everyone, as they hadn't expected Yunxiao to be proficient in the Ten Deadly Formations. Their worries vanished completely at that moment.

While everyone was rejoicing, Jin Xiao spoke up again, saying, "Among the Ten Deadly Formations, the most troublesome are the final Wind Howling Formation and the Red Sand Formation, which require special magic treasures to break."

Nezha suddenly poked his head out from behind Taiyi Zhenren: "Uncle Yunxiao, I have the Qiankun Ring and the Hun Tian Ling. Can they break the Wind Howling Formation and the Red Sand Formation?"

Ao Bing, who was standing nearby, hurriedly spoke up, "My Dragon Ball can break water formations. Breaking that flood formation shouldn't be a problem."

Although a hundred lashes wouldn't cause any real harm to the two boys, they didn't want to be beaten in front of everyone, as that would be incredibly humiliating.

So they racked their brains trying to break one of the Ten Deadly Formations. They came here to make amends and avoid being punished.

Unexpectedly, Taiyi Zhenren, standing to the side, flicked his whisk and struck Nezha directly on the head, angrily saying...

"You unfilial disciple dares to speak so much. If you could break the Ten Deadly Formations, your Uncle Yunxiao wouldn't have had to make such a long trip."

After saying this, Master Taiyi turned to Yunxiao and said with a look of shame, "Junior sister, please don't be offended. These two wicked children have just caused a great disaster..."

Then, Master Taiyi briefly recounted the events to the Three Immortal Maidens.

Upon hearing this, Bixiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. A hint of affection crept into her gaze as she looked at Nezha.

"Senior Brother Taiyi's disciple is indeed incredibly courageous, daring to even shoot down someone destined for the Investiture of the Gods. How about we have them join me in leading the charge?"

This inevitably made Nezha and Ao Bing happy, but Yunxiao looked at Bixiao with a worried expression.

Yunxiao Fairy knew her younger sister's character all too well. If she were to get involved with Nezha, they would probably turn the entire Qinglian Island upside down.

He glared at Fairy Bixiao and said, "I have my own plans for this matter, so don't join in the commotion."

Meanwhile, the city of Xiqi was in complete chaos. After all, Jiang Ziya had practically become the backbone of Xiqi, and now that he was dead, countless people were filled with worry.

However, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects did not care about this at all. It was as if Jiang Ziya's death was not worth their attention.

This greatly alarmed Ji Fa, who immediately asked Guang Chengzi, whom he knew best, "Uncle-Master Guang Chengzi, what about Master...?"

Before Ji Fa could finish speaking, Guang Chengzi interjected, "Don't worry, your master is destined to be a god, and is destined to experience three deaths and seven injuries." "This is only his first death; he will be resurrected soon. If you don't believe me, you can go and see if his shattered heart has already begun to regenerate."

Ji Fa was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly went forward to check. Sure enough, he found that Jiang Ziya's broken heart had been restored to its original state under the influence of the Three Lights Divine Water.

Even the wound on his chest is visibly regenerating. It should be fully healed in no time.

Now, Ji Fa was no longer worried. Just as he was about to thank the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, he discovered that Daoist Ran Deng had taken out a scarecrow.

The name Nezha was clearly written on the scarecrow. Beside the scarecrow lay a small peach wood bow and three peach wood arrows. There was also a book.

Just as Ji Fa was puzzled, Daoist Ran Deng spoke up. He addressed Guang Chengzi.

"When I came here, I went to the North Sea and borrowed this Seven Arrows Nailhead Book from the Demon Master Kunpeng."

"It was originally intended to be used to curse and kill the direct disciples of the Daoist sect. But now it has to be used on that brat Nezha."

"After all, if Nezha doesn't pay the price for Jiang Ziya's death, the Chan Sect will have completely lost face. We also won't be able to explain it to our teacher."

"After Jiang Ziya awakens, give him the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. Let him avenge himself."

Guang Chengzi acknowledged and then put away the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, the Scarecrow, and the Peach Wood Bow and Arrow.

As evening approached, Jiang Ziya slowly awoke. Upon learning that it was that brat Nezha who had shot him, Jiang Ziya was furious, gritting his teeth in anger.

Guang Chengzi had already taken out the Seven Arrows of Nailhead and handed it directly to Jiang Ziya, instructing him on how to use it.

Jiang Ziya did not hesitate at all. Following Guang Chengzi's instructions, he set up an altar in the Prime Minister's mansion and intended to use the Seven Arrows of Nailhead to curse and kill Nezha.

As soon as the altar was set up, Jiang Ziya couldn't wait to begin casting the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, bowing three times to the scarecrow.

While Jiang Ziya was privately executing the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, there was also movement in the Shang army camp.

A fierce wind whipped up sand and gravel, lashing against the Shang army's tents. Everyone found the wind rather strange. At that moment, Nezha suddenly clutched his chest and staggered a couple of steps.

Ao Bing quickly helped Nezha up and asked with concern, "Nezha, what's wrong?"

Nezha's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He shook his head at Ao Bing and said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very panicked."

As he spoke, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow hanging at Nezha's waist began to tremble inexplicably, and the bloodstains of Jiang Ziya on the arrowhead emitted an eerie golden light.

Yunxiao suddenly stood up, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron at his waist humming as a warning. He knew that Nezha's sudden panic was no accident.

Golden dragon scissors flew out from her sleeve, and two golden dragon phantoms circled within the tent, emitting rays of golden light. This made Nezha feel a little better, and his heart was no longer so panicked.

Even so, Yunxiao still spoke solemnly, "Tomorrow at dawn, we will go and observe his Ten Deadly Formations."

"If we can't break the Ten Deadly Formations soon, something we can't even imagine will happen. Nezha's current behavior is an ominous sign."
