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

Randeng Daoren was furious at Zhao Gongming's disdain, but his expression remained unchanged.

Even though Daoist Ran Deng volunteered to chase after Zhao Gongming, it wasn't out of genuine enthusiasm. He had his own plans: to steal Zhao Gongming's thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Daoist Ran Deng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was burning with rage. He secretly channeled his magical power, and his whisk moved without wind, clearly indicating that he was truly enraged.

"Zhao Gongming, cease your arrogance. Today, I will show you what it means to have a heaven beyond heaven."

Before he finished speaking, Daoist Ran Deng had already summoned the coffin lamp. A wisp of dark blue flame at the wick suddenly surged, transforming into a fiery net that enveloped Zhao Gongming.

This coffin lamp is a primordial spiritual treasure, containing ghostly fire that can burn a person's primordial spirit; it is extremely powerful.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming remained calm and immediately took out the Three Lights Divine Water to protect his entire body.

At the same time, he didn't forget to say in a mocking tone, "Randeng, is that all you've got? You dare to block my way?"

Zhao Gongming sneered and reached into his robes to take out thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. Each pearl was crystal clear, and inside they seemed to be surging with waves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Manjushri Bodhisattva hurriedly summoned the Dragon-Hiding Stake, and seven golden dragons flew out from the stake, circling and dancing in the air.

Master Puxian also drew his twin Wu hook swords, their blades flashing like rainbows, aiming straight for Zhao Gongming's throat. He intended to kill Zhao Gongming with the combined strength of the three of them.

In an instant, magical artifacts flew wildly in mid-air, and magical power surged, scattering the clouds within a hundred miles and revealing the azure sky.

Seeing his three senior brothers entangle Zhao Gongming, Ju Liusun was secretly delighted and quietly rode a cloud toward Yin Jiao on the back of the black tiger.

He held the Immortal-Binding Rope in his hand, preparing to capture this Prince of Shang in one fell swoop. Then he could go and assist Daoist Ran Deng in killing Zhao Gongming.

"Your Highness, do not be afraid, this humble Taoist is here to save you," Ju Liusun whispered, as the Immortal Binding Rope in his hand flew out like a serpent.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jiao suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, showing no trace of illness. With a sway, he transformed back into his original form.

"Ju Liusun, did you come to save me? If so, I, Yang Jian, really have to thank you."

As Yang Jian spoke, his three-pointed double-edged sword swept out, slicing the Immortal Binding Rope in two.

Ju Liusun was shocked, after all, he never dreamed that the perfectly good Yin Jiao would turn into Yang Jian.

For a moment, his words were somewhat indistinct, "You...you...you're not...not Yin Jiao. You are...you're Yang Jian?"

Yang Jian sheathed his three-pointed double-edged sword and said with a smile, "That's right, I am Yang Jian."

As Yang Jian spoke, he secretly released his Howling Celestial Dog, sending it directly at Ju Liusun.

Caught off guard, Ju Liusun was suddenly pounced on by the Howling Celestial Dog. The Howling Celestial Dog placed its two front paws on Ju Liusun's shoulders, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down at Ju Liusun's neck.

Ju Liusun cried out in alarm and hurriedly summoned another Immortal Binding Rope. He bound the Celestial Hound tightly, preventing it from having its throat bitten through.

Seeing this, Yang Jian's face darkened with anger. He brandished his three-pointed double-edged sword once more and charged towards Ju Liusun.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming had already summoned the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. The pearls were arranged in an array in the air, each as heavy as a mountain, forcing the three Daoist Ran Deng to retreat repeatedly.

At this point, Daoist Ran Deng finally understood that he had fallen into a trap. The Yin Jiao they wanted to capture was actually Yang Jian in disguise. However, he couldn't care less about that now. After all, even if he couldn't capture Yin Jiao, he had to seize Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl; otherwise, his trip would have been in vain, and he would be laughed at by others when he returned.

Just as the four Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were locked in fierce battle with Zhao Gongming and Yang Jian, on the official road a thousand miles away, True Man Yu Ding and True Man Tai Yi were escorting the real Yin Jiao, disguised as ordinary messengers, and galloping towards Chaoge.

"Senior brother, at this rate, when will we reach Chaoge?" Taiyi Zhenren asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with undisguised anxiety.

Master Yu Ding stroked his beard and smiled: "Junior brother, don't be anxious. The more it is like this, the less attention it will attract. Besides, I have already used an illusion technique to cover it up. Ordinary cultivators will not be able to see any clues at all."

Yin Jiao, mounted on his horse, was pale but had a resolute look in his eyes: "Two immortal masters, I am so grateful for your help this time, otherwise I would have been harmed by Guang Chengzi."

Master Yu Ding smiled and said, "Guang Chengzi's actions have already tainted him with boundless karma. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been listed on the Investiture of the Gods this time."

"Unfortunately, Guang Chengzi had the Heavenly Dao Saint as his backer. Even though he was entangled in karma and listed on the Investiture of the Gods, he was still saved by Zhen Yuanzi."

"But this is for the best. After Guang Chengzi returns to his original state, you can personally settle the karma between you two. It will be a fitting punishment for him."

As the three were talking, dark clouds suddenly gathered ahead, and a foul wind swept over them. Master Yu Ding's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reined in his horse: "Not good, there's demonic energy."

Ahead on the official road, a group of people appeared out of nowhere. The leader, dressed in a black robe with a sinister face, was none other than Mara, the Asura King of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yu Ding, I have been waiting here for a long time. Hand over Yin Jiao, and I may spare your lives."

Taiyi Zhenren roared, "Bo Xun, why are you blocking my way when you are not staying in the Netherworld Blood Sea?"

"Aren't you afraid that your actions will drag the entire Asura race of the Netherworld Blood Sea into the Great Calamity of the Wind God?"

Bo Xun curled his lip in disdain: "Enough nonsense. Our ancestor has already allied with Xiqi. This time, I am lying in ambush here on the orders of my ancestor."

With that, he waved his hand, and hundreds of Asura warriors swarmed forward behind him, each with a ferocious face, holding strange weapons, and exuding a murderous aura.

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Master Yuding immediately summoned his immortal sword, its light as bright as a rainbow, instantly severing the heads of dozens of Asuras.

Taiyi Zhenren also took out the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and nine fire dragons roared out, burning the rushing Asura to ashes.

However, Bo Xun was exceptionally powerful. He unleashed the Asura Banner, which spread out to a size of a hundred feet, and blocked all the attacks from the two Golden Immortals.

At the same time, he muttered incantations, and the ground suddenly cracked open, with countless bloody hands reaching out from the ground to grab Yin Jiao's mount.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Master Yu Ding exclaimed in alarm and rushed to his rescue, only to see a golden light descend from the sky, severing all the bloody hands.

This caused Mara to frown, and he looked directly in the direction from which the golden light had fallen. He discovered that a Taoist priest was standing on the cloud.

The Taoist priest was dressed in a black and white robe and held a bottle with yin and yang patterns in his hand. He was none other than Yu Yixian, Kong Xuan's younger brother.

Seeing Yu Yixian suddenly appear, Yu Ding Zhenren finally felt relieved.

In terms of cultivation level alone, both Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren could fight against the Demon King Bo Xun.

However, this resulted in the weakened Yin Jiao being left unprotected. He would inevitably be forcibly taken away by the Asura clan. (End of Chapter)
