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

Chapter 377 Want to Try It?

The bird released by Dao Xing Tian Zun streaked across the sky, leaving a pale golden trail in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The bird was not a living creature, but a mysterious bird he had created using secret methods. Faint runic light flowed between its wings.

"This bird can see a thousand miles and hear a hundred miles. If it goes to the Shang army camp to spy on the situation, we can find out the current situation of Master Ran Deng."

As Dao Xing Tianzun spoke, he formed hand seals and pointed towards the void. The scene that the Xuanji Bird had witnessed appeared in mid-air.

This prompted Guang Chengzi to nod repeatedly and say, "Let's find out the truth first before making any arrangements, so as to avoid taking any risks."

……

The mysterious bird flew over the walls of Xiqi without the soldiers on guard noticing. It quickly flew out of Xiqi and headed towards the Shang army camp.

Even from the perspective of the Xuanji Bird, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects could clearly see that Feng Lin was directing the soldiers to roast the venison, with the grease dripping onto the fire and making a sizzling sound.

This scene infuriated the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, who were all on the verge of agitation. Some even stepped forward, wanting to kill Feng Lin to vent their anger.

Fortunately, the mysterious bird did not linger for long, and the scene in mid-air changed accordingly, soon revealing the Shang army camp.

The mysterious bird circled the Shang army camp but failed to find the place where Daoist Ran Deng was imprisoned. This made the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects breathe a sigh of relief.

The fact that they couldn't find Daoist Ran Deng was tantamount to telling everyone that Daoist Ran Deng had not fallen into the hands of the Shang army.

Logically speaking, Dao Xing Tianzun should have recalled the Xuanji Bird by now. After all, he had already achieved his goal for this trip.

Instead of being a Daoist master, he wanted to take this opportunity to secretly observe the Shang army's central command tent and gather intelligence on their military situation.

But just as the mysterious bird flew to the outside of the central command tent, a soft laugh suddenly came from inside: "Since you're here, why hide?"

Immediately, a beam of light shot out from the tent, striking the Mysterious Bird precisely. It instantly ignited into flames, turning it to ashes in a matter of moments.

At the same time, Dao Xing Tianzun in Xiqi City also suddenly took three steps back, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Dao Xing Tianzun wiped away the bloodstains and said with a solemn expression, "There is a master in the merchant camp who was able to see through my secret technique."

"If I am not mistaken, the reason why Master Ran Deng has not returned for so long must be closely related to this person."

Dao Xing Tianzun's words did not cause too much shock. After all, everyone present knew that Yunxiao was in the Shang army camp.

So Guang Chengzi spoke directly: "Junior Brother Daoxing, you may not know this, but in the Shang army camp there are not only the Daoist Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren, but also the three Yunxiao sisters."

However, Dao Xing Tianzun shook his head and said, "The one who destroyed my Xuanji Bird was not Taiyi Zhenren or Yuding Zhenren, nor was it the Three Immortals of Sanxiao."

"Because in the instant I was hit by the backlash, I saw that what attacked the Mysterious Bird was actually a bead."

"If I am not mistaken, that bead should be Zhao Gongming's Sea-Stabilizing Pearl."

"Apart from Zhao Gongming's personal arrival, I really can't think of anyone else who could force Master Randeng to flee in such a sorry state, losing his mount and even self-destructing his innate spiritual treasure."

Before Dao Xing Tianzun could finish speaking, a Daoist descended from mid-air; it was none other than Daoist Ran Deng, who had gone missing on the battlefield. Everyone present was overjoyed to see Daoist Ran Deng return. However, they noticed his pale face and bloodstains on his robes, knowing he must be seriously injured.

Guang Chengzi and Ju Liusun hurriedly stepped forward and helped Randeng Daoren up. They also took out some pills and helped Randeng Daoren take them.

After swallowing the pill, the Daoist Ran Deng's pale face finally regained some color. Only then did he recount what had happened to everyone.

To everyone's surprise, even Daoist Ran Deng himself didn't know who had forced him into such a sorry state.

As for the magical artifact that made it difficult for him to even open his eyes, Daoist Ran Deng couldn't even see clearly what it was.

But there was one thing that Daoist Ran Deng didn't say. That was that Daoist Ran Deng actually sensed that the magical weapon that attacked him was the key to his becoming a saint.

Now, upon hearing Daoist Tianzun say that the one who injured him was none other than Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl, Ran Deng Daoist couldn't help but remember it well, and even began to ponder how to seize it.

At the same time, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but say, "The Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao are already troublesome enough, and now Zhao Gongming has arrived. Could it be that Xiqi really can't be defended?"

The Taoist Ran Deng looked at Jiang Ziya and said, "You are the one destined to bestow the titles of gods, how can you utter such discouraging words?"

"If Xiqi wants to prosper, it will have to endure the attack of thirty-six armies. Zhang Guifang is only the first army, while the three Yunxiao sisters and Zhao Gongming are only the second and third armies."

"In addition to these three armies, there are thirty-three more armies. Only by withstanding the test of these thirty-six armies can Xiqi be qualified to replace the Shang Dynasty."

As soon as the Taoist Ran Deng uttered these words, Ji Fa, who had remained silent until now, instantly felt as if his mother had died.

Jiang Ziya, of course, also witnessed this scene. He immediately spoke to Daoist Ran Deng.

"It turns out that this was a test from Heaven for Xiqi. It seems that Ziya's will was not firm for a moment, and he almost ruined Xiqi's morale."

No sooner had Jiang Ziya finished speaking than a city gate guard rushed over to report that Feng Lin had roasted the venison and was now taunting the enemy from below the city.

Upon learning that Feng Lin had roasted his sika deer, Daoist Ran Deng was naturally filled with rage. He intended to leave the city and kill Feng Lin to vent his hatred.

He also worried that if he left the city, he would be ambushed by Taoist disciples. Or if he encountered Zhao Gongming again, he might not have another chance to escape.

However, if he didn't leave the city to fight Zhao Gongming, how could he obtain the Dinghai Pearl? Clearly, these two things were contradictory, leaving Daoist Ran Deng somewhat at a loss.

At the same time, Feng Lin, holding a long spear, leaped out on his horse, the tip of which held a piece of roasted venison, and shouted loudly towards the city of Xiqi.

“You little brats from the Chan and Jie sects, this venison is delicious. Would you like to come out and have a taste? After all, it’s your Master Randeng’s mount. If you don’t eat it now, you’ll never have the chance again.”

Feng Lin cursed for a full hour, but not a single soldier or general emerged from Xiqi City. Frustrated, he ordered his men to take the venison back to the Shang army camp.

Back at the main camp, Feng Lin didn't forget to berate the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, calling them cowards who didn't even dare to fight him, a nobody like himself.

Zhang Guifang laughed loudly and said, "Junior Brother Fenglin, it's true that we are all insignificant people. But behind us is Qinglian Island, the Daoist sect."
