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

To the surprise of the four sacred beasts, when the golden light of merit merged into their bodies, an invisible shackle was also formed.

At this moment, the four ferocious beasts looked at Chen Xuan as if he were their emperor. Even if Chen Xuan was wrong, they would carry out his orders without hesitation.

"Now that you have the protection of merit, even if the Heavenly Dao Pearl is shattered, the will of Heaven will not be able to obliterate you, and will give you time to go to Chaos."

Taotie then said, "Master, we will head to the Chaos to see the Emperor. We will tell the Emperor about Hongjun's conspiracy in its entirety."

“Once the Emperor knows the truth, he will not collude with Hongjun. He will also not resent his master or take action against him.”

Chen Xuan nodded and let the four ferocious beasts leave the Red Water and head directly into the Chaos.

The next moment, Chen Xuan also vanished from his spot, following the four ferocious beasts into the chaos.

In this vast chaotic world, even if Chen Xuan wanted to find the Beast Emperor Shen Ni, it wouldn't be something that could be accomplished overnight.

However, with the four ferocious beasts present, finding the Beast Emperor Shen Ni would no longer be a difficult task for Chen Xuan. After all, the four ferocious beasts had already reached a terrifying level in their ability to control the mysterious aura of the Beast Emperor.

The four ferocious beasts have clearly recognized Chen Xuan as their master, so why doesn't Chen Xuan openly and honestly send them to find the Beast Emperor Shen Ni? Why does he choose to use this method of tracking them?
The reason is that Chen Xuan did not distrust the Four Fiends, but he was worried that Hongjun would secretly sabotage him, and might even kill the Four Fiends in the Chaos and then pin the blame on him.

Therefore, Chen Xuan not only needed to find the Beast Emperor Shenni through the Four Fiends, but also to secretly protect them, lest Hongjun kill the Four Fiends to frame them.

Leaving aside Chen Xuan and the four ferocious beasts entering the chaos, let's talk about the outside of Xiqi City, where Daoist Duobao stood in front of the two armies and spoke.

"Our Daoist sect's Immortal Slaughtering Formation is right here. May I ask which fellow Daoists have come to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation?"

As soon as Daoist Duobao uttered these words, not a single disciple of the three sects of Xuanmen present was willing to go to their deaths in the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.

Even the Demon Master Kunpeng and the Styx Ancestor chose to remain silent, handing the stage entirely over to the three incarnations of the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, several people flew out from the Taoist camp. Without saying a word, they charged towards the Ten Deadly Formations.

The few remaining members of the Ten Deadly Formations hadn't even figured out what was happening when their heads were severed by Yang Jian and other third-generation Daoist disciples. Their souls were also directly added to the Investiture of the Gods list.

Jiang Ziya heard a series of great sounds emanating from several large formations, which then completely collapsed. At the same time, four more true spirits appeared on the Investiture of the Gods list.

By now, the ten Heavenly Kings of Jin'ao Island, whom Jiang Ziya had invited, have been completely defeated. According to the original agreement, Xiqi should have surrendered.

But how could Jiang Ziya possibly fulfill the bet at this point? Otherwise, wouldn't it be tantamount to handing his head over to Emperor Xin?

Ji Fa would naturally disagree, after all, he was now only one step away from becoming the supreme ruler of the human race.

So he directly said to Jiang Ziya, "Master, the Taoist disciples have secretly broken the last few formations of the Ten Deadly Formations."

"Now what should we do? Are we really going to follow the agreement, have our master and disciple tied up, and surrender to the Taoist disciples?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Xiqi was born in accordance with the will of Heaven and the times. How could it resemble that of a tyrannical ruler?" After saying this, Jiang Ziya took a step forward and addressed Chong Houhu, the Marquis of the North, and Zhang Guifang.

“Zhang Guifang, Chong Houhu, we made a bet that day. If you can break the Ten Deadly Formations, my Xiqi will surrender.”

"I and Your Majesty are bound together. You may kill or torture me as you please. But what I did not expect was that you would cheat in secret."

“You won by such despicable means, and I am not convinced. In addition, your Taoist Nine Turns Yellow River Formation was also broken.”

"Therefore, the previous bet can only be considered a draw. We can make a new bet, using this Immortal Slaughtering Formation as the wager, to settle this bet."

"The stakes remain the same. If we fail to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, I will personally lead the King to Chaoge City to apologize to the tyrannical emperor."

"But if we break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, you must retreat to Sishui Pass. You are not allowed to sail to Xiqi for ten years."

After hearing this, Zhang Guifang snorted coldly and said, "Don't be so shameless, Jiang Ziya. Even if we win, you will find another reason to refuse."

"Since you've already rejected me with various excuses, why not take this opportunity to wipe out Xiqi completely? Let's leave Xiqi barren and desolate."

Although Jiang Ziya didn't actually intend to make a bet with the Taoist disciples to break the formation, Zhang Guifang's blatant exposure of his true intentions inevitably stirred some resentment within him.

That was a direct attack on Zhang Guifang, the God-Slaying Whip aimed directly at her head. If Zhang Guifang were to be hit by the God-Slaying Whip, she would be severely injured, if not killed.

In the original primordial era, Jiang Ziya wielded the God-Slaying Whip, which was specifically used to strike those listed on the Investiture of the Gods. None of those listed could withstand the Whip's attack.

Because of Chen Xuan, the scene of the three religions signing the Investiture of the Gods did not occur. As long as the true spirit is not on the Investiture of the Gods, it is not considered a famous person on the list.

So the God-Slaying Whip spun rapidly in mid-air, but couldn't bring itself to strike Zhang Guifang's head. This puzzled Jiang Ziya.

That directly increased the output of magic power, finally causing the God-Slaying Whip to smash down towards Zhang Guifang's head. Zhang Guifang, however, raised the spear in her hand and deflected it towards the God-Slaying Whip.

The God-Slaying Whip is covered in Heavenly Dao talismans and is a top-grade innate artifact born at the same time as the Heavenly Book of Gods.

So when Zhang Guifang's spear tip just touched the edge of the Divine Strike, she felt an immense pressure transmitted through the spear tip and shaft to her body.

This caused Zhang Guifang to lose her grip on the spear, which clattered to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that his attack had been effective, Jiang Ziya did not hesitate to once again command the God-Slaying Whip, preparing to take Zhang Guifang's life directly.

Just then, Yang Jian, wielding his three-pointed double-edged sword, charged forward to meet the attack. He also helped Zhang Guifang block Jiang Ziya's second strike.

Seeing Yang Jian make his move, Jiang Ziya naturally knew that there was no longer a chance to send Zhang Guifang to the Investiture of the Gods.

Without hesitation, he withdrew his God-Slaying Whip and ran after the Daoist Burning Lamp. It was as if he were telling Yang Jian, "Come and chase me if you dare!" (End of Chapter)
