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

Chapter 399 The Scapegoat Appears
The two young men dressed in royal robes were none other than Jiang Ming, the disciple of the immortal Puxian and the grandson of Marquis Dongbo, Jiang Huanchu.

And E Long, the grandson of E Chongyu, the Marquis of Nanbo, who was a disciple of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun.

Now that Marquis E Chongyu of the South and Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East are dead, their sons E Shun and Jiang Wenhuan have become the feudal lords of the North and South.

Their two sons naturally became the heirs of the southeastern and western regions, which is why they wore royal robes.

The sudden appearance of these two inevitably relieved some of the pressure on Manjushri and Samantabhadra. It also finally allowed Pure Void Moral True Lord to make his move.

This inevitably angered Nezha and Ao Bing, who immediately prepared to kill the two troublemakers.

Just as Nezha hurled the Five Dragon Seal at Elong, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura emanating from behind him.

He immediately used the Qiankun Ring to protect his back. At the same time, a crisp metallic clang rang out.

Because Nezha has three heads, he doesn't need to turn his head at all to see what's happening behind him.

It turned out to be a nail, driven in from behind. The target was his back.

Fortunately, Nezha reacted quickly and used his Universe Ring to block the nail. He was thus saved from being ambushed.

Just then, the nail that had been knocked to the ground flew backward and landed in the hand of a young man dressed in fine clothes.

This young man was none other than Ji Shuming, the younger brother of Ji Fa and a disciple of the Pure Void Moral True Lord.

At the same time, Ji Shuming also spoke. He said to Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, "Master, I have successfully refined the magic weapon. You can leave this little child to me now."

After saying this, he didn't even wait for Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's agreement before charging directly at Nezha.

At the same time, two hands suddenly emerged from Ji Shuming's eyes. And in the palm of each hand was an eye.

This inevitably piqued Nezha's interest, since Nezha's Dharma form was already strange enough. Now, seeing something even stranger, he couldn't help but feel the urge to challenge it.

At this moment, Ji Shuming suddenly produced a feather fan and swung it directly at Nezha.

In an instant, five flames erupted simultaneously, engulfing Nezha in flames.

This made Ji Shuming burst into laughter, "I thought it was some formidable enemy. I never expected it to be so utterly vulnerable in front of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan."

Seeing Ji Shuming, he felt he had already won. Qingxu Daode Zhenjun couldn't help but secretly cry out in alarm, after all, Ji Shuming didn't know Nezha's abilities, but Qingxu Daode Zhenjun knew them all too well.

He was about to warn his disciple, but it was too late. A scroll, enveloped by the Five Fires, flew out and began to coil around Ji Shuming.

Before Ji Shuming could figure out what was going on, the Karmic Fire Soul Refining Diagram had already enveloped him within it.

In an instant, boundless karmic flames rose up, instantly incinerating Ji Shuming into ashes, while a wisp of his true spirit rushed directly towards the Conferred God Platform.

If it weren't for the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, and the fact that his true spirit would be summoned by the Investiture of the Gods, even Ji Shuming's true spirit would probably have been burned by karmic fire.

"You wicked creature, how dare you harm my disciple! Today, I will make sure your soul is scattered and you pay for my disciple's life."

Seeing his beloved disciple's tragic death, the Pure Void Moral True Lord's eyes turned bloodshot. His Hunyuan Banner moved without wind, nine golden lotuses blooming from the void, transforming a hundred-zhang radius into a golden domain. Nezha, riding on his Wind-Fire Wheels, leaped from the flames, his Fire-Tipped Spear wreathed in seven-colored light. The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, said to incinerate all things, transformed into gentle fire snakes that slithered around him.

"You dare to play with fire in front of me? You don't even know your own limitations. You probably don't know that I'm the master of playing with fire."

At the same time, the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) flew out, directly collecting the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and the Heart-Piercing Nail that had fallen to the ground into its own hands.

At the same time, Ao Bing let out a deafening dragon roar, and the dragon pearl he spat out resonated with the Zhou Tian Star Umbrella.

Twelve beams of starlight poured down like a celestial river, weaving a dazzling star map above Xiqi City. It seemed they intended to reduce the entire city of Xiqi to rubble.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, was greatly alarmed upon seeing this, and immediately raised the Dragon-Hiding Stake into the air. He intended to use the Dragon-Hiding Stake to kill Ao Bing and thus protect Xiqi.

At this moment, how could Nezha possibly stand by and watch Manjushri Bodhisattva attack Ao Bing? He immediately unleashed his Universe Ring, smashing it towards the Dragon-Binding Stake.

Samantabhadra raised his Wu Hook Sword, intending to sever the connection of stellar power and help Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, to deal with Ao Bing first.

The bronze halberd in Jiang Ming's hand trembled violently, and the blue dragon patterns engraved on the halberd lit up.

The heir of the Marquis of Dongbo bit his tongue and spat out his blood essence. The bronze halberd instantly transformed into a blue dragon and soared into the sky, heading towards Ao Bing as well.

Upon seeing this, E Long, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Nanbo, naturally did not delay. He hurriedly crushed the jade pendant at his waist, and a vermilion bird emitted a series of phoenix cries.

Nezha's three heads sneered simultaneously. The left head spewed out Samadhi True Fire, the right head spat out Six Ding Six Jia Divine Fire, while the middle head chanted incantations.

But before the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird could even get close to Ao Bing, they were engulfed by two flames that appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, Jiang Ming and E Long couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The two princes, their faces ashen, staggered backward. Suddenly, Manjushri Bodhisattva inverted his Pure Crystal Bottle, releasing boundless weak water in an attempt to use water to overcome fire and trap Nezha.

At the critical moment, Nezha suddenly threw the Five Dragon Seal into the air. The five golden dragons coiled on the seal's knob roared to the sky.

In just a moment, the Weak Water released by Manjushri Bodhisattva was diverted towards the direction of Xiqi City.

At the same time, Ao Bing had already drawn upon the power of the stars, causing most of the Xiqi city walls to collapse. Only those walls reinforced by the Nine Heavens Breath Soil remained standing.

Upon seeing the collapse of the Xiqi city walls, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun inwardly cried out in alarm. He feared that the Shang army would seize this opportunity to attack the city, which would truly put Xiqi in imminent danger.

Without a second thought, he headed straight for Xiqi City. At the same time, he secretly sent a telepathic message to the disciples of the Chan Sect, urging them to quickly return to Xiqi's aid.

Even Samantabhadra and Manjushri were thrown into disarray. They simultaneously charged towards Ao Bing, fearing that he would once again unleash the power of the stars.

As a result, Jiang Ming and E Long were completely exposed to Nezha's attack.

This inevitably led to a cold smile appearing on Nezha's lips. At the same time, the twin swords of Li Huo flew out of his hands once again.

The two naturally dared not be careless in the face of Nezha's attack, and immediately used their weapons to block it. Unexpectedly, Nezha took out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and slapped it down at the two of them.

Although Nezha hadn't refined the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, and the power he could unleash was quite limited, it was still more than enough to kill Jiang Ming and E Long.
