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

Chapter 388 Fellow Taoist, please stay.

Master Taiyi put away the twelve Plague Umbrellas, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He turned to Nezha and Ao Bing and said, "You two, come with me to Sishui Pass."

Upon hearing this, Nezha's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Taiyi Zhenren, "Master, are we going to see the Ancestor?"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded and said to Nezha, "These twelve umbrellas have an extraordinary origin; perhaps only our master can see through their mystery."

Master Yu Ding stepped forward and said with a solemn expression, "Junior Brother Taiyi, this journey may not be peaceful. When the star map appeared on that umbrella just now, I sensed several divine senses sweeping across this place, including many powerful beings."

Zhao Gongming echoed, "That's right, I also sensed the presence of the Western Sect just now. They've always coveted these kinds of rare treasures."

After pondering for a moment, Master Taiyi decided, "In that case, why don't we go together? With all of you senior brothers and sisters traveling with us, those petty villains will surely not dare to act rashly."

After discussion, the group decided to leave the Three Immortal Maidens and Yang Jian behind to help Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin guard the camp. The others immediately used their escape techniques and flew towards Sishui Pass.

To prevent any unforeseen events, Taiyi Zhenren specially stored the twelve Plague Umbrellas in his sleeve and concealed their fluctuations with the aura of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Sishui Pass was already in sight. Suddenly, a burst of golden light shone brightly from the clouds ahead, accompanied by the sound of chanting. A golden lotus appeared out of thin air, blocking their path.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

Just that one sentence sent a chill down everyone's spine. A sense of foreboding even crept into their hearts.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw several Taoist priests appear before them. Among them, Taiyi Zhenren recognized Shen Gongbao, who had been expelled from the Chan Sect.

It was Shen Gongbao who uttered the words, "Fellow Daoist, please wait." This is why the Daoist disciples felt a sense of foreboding.

As for the people behind Shen Gongbao, they were no strangers to everyone. They were disciples of the Western Sect.

Before Taiyi Zhenren could speak, Nezha had already gripped his Fire-Tipped Spear tightly and whispered to Ao Bing, "Bingbing, this guy looks like a weasel, he's obviously not a good person."

"Let's attack from both sides at the same time and send this thing to the Investiture of the Gods list, so it won't stand here and disgust people."

Ao Bing always obeyed Nezha's every word. He immediately followed Nezha's instructions, preparing to launch a pincer attack on Shen Gongbao.

Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly stepped forward and called Nezha and Ao Bing back. He then bowed and said...

"So it's Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao and fellow Daoists from the Western Sect. May I ask what brings you here to block our path?"

Shen Gongbao, with his signature smile on his face, bowed again and said, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, why ask a question you already know the answer to?"

“That Plague Umbrella is a magic weapon of our Jie Sect. Even if Lü Yue’s soul is listed on the Investiture of the Gods, this Plague Umbrella should still be returned to our Jie Sect.”

Master Yu Ding sneered, "What a high-sounding reason. Then why was no one from your Jie Sect stopped Lü Yue when he was running rampant with such evil objects?"

Shen Gongbao still smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu Ding, you are mistaken. On the battlefield, each side relies on its own abilities, so there is no question of stopping or not stopping."

As Shen Gongbao spoke, several more figures appeared in the surrounding clouds. They were all disciples of the Western Sect, who surrounded Taiyi Zhenren and his group.

Seeing this, Nezha could no longer contain his anger. He pointed his Fire-Tipped Spear at Shen Gongbao and spoke with boundless fury.

"Don't be so arrogant! If you want the treasure, you'll have to ask my spear first." With that, before Taiyi Zhenren could stop him, Nezha, riding on his Wind-Fire Wheels, charged straight at Shen Gongbao with his spear. Seeing this, Ao Bing also drew his Fangtian Halberd and followed closely behind.

Shen Gongbao was no match for these two ancestors, so he quickly hid behind Maitreya Daoist.

Maitreya Daoist's smile vanished, and he struck his golden cymbal, producing a deafening sound. The sound waves seemed to have a tangible substance, forcing Nezha and Ao Bing back several feet.

"You little brats don't know your place. How dare you interfere in the affairs of your elders?"

"Today, I, your humble Taoist, will teach you a lesson on behalf of your master, so that you may know the difference between superior and inferior, and so that you will not be so arrogant in the future."

Taiyi Zhenren was shocked and hurriedly summoned the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to protect Nezha and the other person.

Zhao Gongming snorted coldly and said, "My Taoist disciples are not for your Western Sect to discipline."

As he spoke, Zhao Gongming raised his steel whip and brought it down directly at Maitreya Daoist.

As he brandished his steel whip, Zhao Gongming also activated the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. Twenty-four of these pearls transformed into the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings, forming a powerful defensive barrier.

The remaining twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, centered on Zhao Gongming, emitted bursts of brilliant light, like twelve blazing suns, blinding their opponents.

Seeing this, Maitreya Daoist cried out inwardly, "This is bad!" With a flash of his hand, seven-colored light suddenly rose, revealing it to be Zhunti Daoist's Seven Treasures Tree.

The Seven Treasures Tree can collect all the magical treasures in the world, and is even more powerful than the Treasure-Dropping Coin. Therefore, Zhao Gongming could already feel that the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls had begun to tremble.

It seemed as if he would be out of his control at any moment and directly taken away by the Seven Treasures Tree. This greatly alarmed Zhao Gongming, who immediately prepared to put away the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were being drawn by an inexplicable force and were completely beyond Zhao Gongming's control.

The next moment, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls vanished into thin air. This made Zhao Gongming inwardly cry out in alarm.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming also noticed that before his eyes, not only was there a seven-colored radiance, but also a five-colored divine light flashing.

As the five-colored divine light descended, a familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared before Zhao Gongming.

This made Zhao Gongming overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Senior Brother Kong Xuan, you have finally emerged from seclusion."

Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than Kong Xuan, a second-generation disciple of the Daoist sect. However, Kong Xuan usually spent most of his time in seclusion, so even his fellow disciples rarely saw him.

It can be said that the two most mysterious second-generation disciples in the entire Taoist sect are Kong Xuan and his senior brother, Daoist Duobao.

These two are absolute cultivation fanatics, spending most of their time in seclusion. Therefore, most matters within the Daoist sect are handled by True Person Yu Ding.

However, this did not diminish the fact that the Taoist disciples knew how capable Kong Xuan was. Therefore, when Zhao Gongming saw Kong Xuan arrive, he knew that his Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was safe.

At this moment, Kong Xuan nodded directly to Zhao Gongming. Then, he took out thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from the Five-Colored Divine Light and returned them to Zhao Gongming.

He then said, "Junior Brother Gongming, if you were to dedicate yourself to refining these thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and turn them into your natal magic treasures, how could they be so easily taken away by others?"
