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

Meanwhile, deep within the chaos, Hongjun was using his great power to break the chains of rules that bound Shenni.

With a crisp snap, the first chain broke. Shen Ni let out a relieved groan, as if he could already see the light of freedom.

Hongjun's expression was solemn: "Fellow Daoist, do not be anxious. These chains were set up by several Chaos Demon Gods working together, and they must be broken one by one."

Shen Ni sneered, "No rush. I've waited all these years, what's a little longer? Hongjun, remember your promise!"

Hongjun remained silent, continuing to break the chains, but secretly he was on high alert. He knew that releasing Shenni was tantamount to playing with fire, but faced with Chen Xuan's pressure, he had no other choice.

Outside Xiqi City, in front of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, disciples from both sides were ready.

Fairy Yunxiao, holding the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, stood at the eye of the formation and said to her sisters Qiongxiao and Bixiao, "My two sisters, Master has just issued a decree that no prisoners should be taken in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

Bixiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. With the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, they'll never come back alive."

Qiongxiao said with some concern, "Sister, I heard that Guangchengzi has the Fantian Seal and Chijingzi has the Yin-Yang Mirror. They should not be underestimated."

Yunxiao said confidently, "Within the formation, the power of the spiritual treasure is greatly reduced, so it is nothing to fear."

On the other side, Guang Chengzi said to the Golden Immortals, "The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is dangerous. All of you junior brothers must be careful. Once inside the formation, proceed according to the plan and do not scatter."

Chi Jingzi nodded: "Don't worry, senior brother. With the twelve Golden Immortals joining forces and the spiritual treasures bestowed by our master protecting us, we will definitely be able to break this evil formation."

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, frowned and said, "I have a feeling that I am uneasy today, as if there is a great omen of misfortune."

Master Huanglong comforted him, saying, "Senior brother, you are overthinking it. With all the sages looking after you outside, nothing will happen."

"Moreover, with the demon race's sacrificial array, how much power can the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array unleash?"

As soon as Master Huanglong finished speaking, a group of Quanrong cavalry charged out and directly into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

The sudden turn of events left the Taoist disciples completely dumbfounded. They thought to themselves, "Isn't this sending the Quanrong cavalry to their deaths?"

Immediately, all the Taoist disciples cursed the Xuanmen disciples for their despicable act of sacrificing their own allies to the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

Yunxiao, within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, had naturally seen through the Xuanmen disciples' trick. He immediately stirred up billowing yellow sand, turning all the Quanrong cavalry into statues, but he did not take their lives.

At the same time, they did not forget to conceal the aura of the great formation, leading the Xuanmen disciples to mistakenly believe that their ritual formation was complete.

This brought a smile to Guang Chengzi's face, and he immediately said, "Junior brothers, let's break his Nine Turns Yellow River Evil Formation together."

The next moment, the twelve Golden Immortals, each wielding a magical weapon, rushed into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. The formation instantly activated, and the Yellow River's waters descended from the heavens, winding and turning in nine interconnected bends, creating a labyrinthine illusion that separated the twelve Golden Immortals.

As soon as Guang Chengzi entered the formation, he felt dizzy and disoriented, surrounded by swirling yellow sand. He realized he had been tricked by the Three Immortals, but it was too late.

Left with no other choice, he hurriedly activated the Heaven-Turning Seal to protect himself, while shouting, "Fellow disciples, quickly come closer to me!"

But all that answered him was the howling wind and the faint sound of flowing water. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the yellow sand ahead—it was Yunxiao.

"Guang Chengzi, today is the day you are on the list."

Yunxiao sneered and summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, which shone with golden light.

Guang Chengzi dared not be negligent. The Fantian Seal grew larger in the wind and collided with the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, producing a deafening roar. However, under the suppression of the formation, the power of the Fantian Seal was greatly reduced and was actually suppressed by the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

"How is that possible? Could it be that even the Heavenly Seal cannot subdue the Primordial Golden Cauldron? Then shall this humble Taoist give up today?"

Guang Chengzi was greatly alarmed and hurriedly changed his magic seal, only to see Yunxiao bring out another treasure, the Golden Dragon Scissors.

Two golden dragons came at each other, and Guang Chengzi couldn't dodge in time. A corner of his Taoist robe was cut off, leaving him in a sorry state.

Outside the formation, Zhen Yuanzi's face was ashen, and the whisk in his hand trembled slightly, clearly unable to contain himself any longer.

Hongyun Patriarch pressed his hand down and said in a low voice, "Old friend, please calm down. Our disciples are not in immediate danger. At most, we will just be trapped in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

Just then, a strange change occurred within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. The once clear waters of the Yellow River suddenly became turbid and gradually turned blood-red.

This greatly surprised the Twelve Golden Immortals in the formation, who immediately wanted to withdraw from the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

Unfortunately, they are now trapped in the great formation, and how could the Three Immortal Maidens let them leave so easily?

Yunxiao returned to the central altar and immediately summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron. In the blink of an eye, he took two of the Twelve Golden Immortals into the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron and then threw them into the blood.

That's right, they were thrown into blood, not yellow sand. So these two didn't turn into statues, but were directly corroded by the blood into two skeletons.

Xiao Zhen and Deng Hua's true spirits also rushed out of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and headed directly towards the Qishan Conferred God Platform.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes widened in fury. After all, he never dreamed that the Three Immortals would actually resort to such ruthless tactics.

Without a second thought, they nodded to Daoist Zhunti. The two then charged into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation together.

Fearing that if they were too slow, the Western Sect disciples trapped in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, as well as the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, would all become famous figures on the Investiture of the Gods.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun did not hesitate to go to greet Zhenyuanzi and Zhunti Daoren. At the same time, they couldn't help but speak.

"Are you two going to bully the weak with your superior strength? In that case, let my brother and I exchange a few blows with you."

At the same time, the two demon emperors, along with the Red Cloud Ancestor and the Guide Daoist, also floated up and directly blocked Laozi and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The Guide Daoist then spoke directly, saying, "Fellow Daoists, your opponents are us."

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were not surprised, as this was all within their expectations. Otherwise, Tongtian would not have remained indifferent earlier.

At this moment, Tongtian had already gone to meet Zhen Yuanzi and Zhunti Daoist. And he spoke directly.

"If you want to bully the weak, you'll have to ask me, Tongtian, first. If you defeat the Qingping Sword in my hand, I will have the Three Immortals release your disciples without you even needing to enter the formation."

"If you cannot defeat me, then don't blame me for letting you return to the Heavenly Dao to be reborn. As for your disciples and followers, let them go and take a trip on the Investiture of the Gods."

As he spoke, Tongtian raised his Qingping Sword. A streak of azure sword energy slashed directly towards Zhen Yuanzi and Zhunti Daoist.

Zhen Yuanzi and Zhunti Daoren dared not be negligent. Zhen Yuanzi raised the Heavenly Dao Banner, and Zhunti Daoren raised the Seven Treasures Tree, which blocked the Tongtian Qingping Sword.

At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi didn't forget to speak to Daoist Tuti, saying, "I will block Tongtian; you may enter the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation first." (End of Chapter)
