Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 185: You're the one who told us to come together, so don't go back on your word.
"Come so fast?"

Meng Bai's expression tightened. He had been cultivating for so long, but he had never encountered a truly powerful opponent, let alone engaged in a serious battle of magic.

Lu Dai doesn't count; she never actually made a move, she just talked the talk, and it's unclear what she was worried about.

Zhang Zhiyi is different; he's a standard competitor at the same level, and he won't show any mercy. After all, top leaders are always approachable, while the ruthless ones are all competitors at the same level.

"Don't be afraid. We'll only know if we can win after we fight." Su Xintang's face also tightened.

"I was planning to wait until Lu Shenyou found out the other party's background before making a move." As he spoke, Meng Bai flipped his hand and handed ten pitch-black mental bombs to Su Xintang.

This distraction bomb is much more insidious than the previous ones.

It was Su Xintang that was criticized by the entire internet this time, and Meng Bai used the Two Elements Mystic Wood to extract it. There are still seventy or eighty of them in the storage space, which is more than enough.

"This bomb might be useful against a true god, but it probably won't have much effect on a first-level spirit god..." Despite saying this, Su Xintang still took the bomb and stored it in her storage space.

"To be honest, even making the other side lose their focus for a moment can increase our chances of winning." Meng Bai said, taking off his own blue silkworm robe and giving it to Su Xintang to wear.

That's the good thing about magic robes; you don't have to worry about them fitting properly, as they can adapt to different body shapes.

Su Xintang didn't refuse. She put on the green silkworm Taoist robe and took out the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder Sword Formation from her storage space, carrying it on her back.

As for the Wind Profound Twin Blades, she planned to leave them in her storage space to catch Zhang Zhiyi off guard.

However, the fact that they had to gather magical artifacts to fight made the three of them feel very sad.

This scene is just as embarrassing as when poor families used to only have one pair of pants, and whoever went out wore it.

Especially Yu Xuanchen, who was standing to the side, felt indescribably sad. Seeing that she couldn't help at all, her desire to improve her strength became even stronger.

Putting everything else aside, we can't expect several people to pool their magical weapons to use on one person during the next fight, can we?

I must practice making more magical artifacts in the future so that the three of us can use them to bury our opponents.

Just as the three of them were preparing for battle, Zhang Zhiyi outside the door said again, "Fellow Daoist Jiuku, I have come to see you today to apologize for the offense my younger brother committed against you. I would like to ask you to come out and have a chat."

"Apologize?" Su Xintang was taken aback.

"Go out and take a look first. Ah Chen, you stay inside and hide. Don't get hurt if a fight breaks out later." After saying that, Meng Bai took out a magic mask from his storage space and put it on his face.

Zhang Zhili knows himself well, so Meng Bai needs to hide for a while and see how things go.

Next, he used his enhanced acting skills to imitate the cultivation state of the Divine Embryo Realm. He couldn't do this before, but with the enhanced acting skills, he could imitate even more things.

After a while...

The two went out.

Meng Bai stood behind Su Xintang, mimicking the Dharma Protector's stance.

Outside the gate, Zhang Zhiyi and Zhang Zhili, accompanied by eight protectors, floated not far away. He wasn't riding in a palanquin; he truly looked like someone who had come to apologize.

Meanwhile, in the distance, many celestial beings who had heard the news had already gathered to watch.

Seeing this, Su Xintang said to Zhang Zhiyi in a low voice, "I heard that you have just attained godhood, which is truly a cause for celebration."

"Before Fellow Daoist Savior, my divine status is nothing," Zhang Zhiyi chuckled, his heart burning with jealousy as he looked at Su Xintang's three-year-old appearance.

He wasted 160 years and suffered countless hardships before finally obtaining a regional title.

What kind of luck did this lowly servant have after that?

Despite his jealousy, Zhang Zhiyi politely said, "To be honest, I just returned to the Heavenly Realm from the mortal world. As soon as I got home, I heard about my younger brother's previous offense against you."

I was extremely anxious and rushed here hoping to resolve this conflict with you, fellow Daoist. Please forgive any rudeness I may have displayed.

"I dare not, Your Excellency is a descendant of a righteous god, how could I, a mere celestial being, possibly agree?" Su Xintang replied while trying to guess Zhang Zhiyi's intentions with Meng Bai via voice message.

Zhang Zhiyi was waiting for Su Xintang to say those words.

He laughed heartily and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be too modest. Nowadays, who doesn't know that a Venerable Savior from Suffering has emerged from Purple Lotus Divine Island? Not only has he not served as a sacrificial attendant, but he is also no more than thirty years old."

Such fortune is truly unheard of! When I arrived, I was wondering what kind of extraordinary talent you possessed, and now that I've seen it, it's clear you are no ordinary person. Your future achievements are limitless!

As soon as these words came out.

The onlookers immediately started discussing it.

They all speculated that Zhang Zhiyi might be in love with Su Xintang.
It's not impossible; they're both spiritual beings, so it's quite normal for them to feel affection for each other.

To be honest, if only Zhang Zhiyi were here, Meng Bai and Su Xintang would probably guess in the same direction.

But upon catching a glimpse of Zhang Zhili's sneer beside Zhang Zhiyi, the two immediately dismissed the idea. Zhang Zhiyi clearly wasn't there to offer genuine goodwill; there was only one possibility left…

"Is he trying to flatter you to death?" Meng Bai said [voiceover].

"Sigh... We're bound to be targeted sooner or later. My experience of becoming a god is too extraordinary. I didn't know that before, but after becoming a god, I learned more and felt my specialness more and more."

“That won’t do. We have to counter it. If he succeeds, will we ever have a peaceful life again? You should tell him this…” Meng Bai explained as he pondered.

Upon hearing Meng Bai's explanation, Su Xintang said to Zhang Zhiyi, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me too much. We know what's going on. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. This divine position is not easy to obtain."

"Oh?" Zhang Zhiyi became interested. "I'd like to hear more details."

"It's not convenient to say more about that."

"It was I who was being presumptuous," Zhang Zhiyi laughed.

Then, with a quick thought, he released his incense-burning Dao wheel and said solemnly, "As I just said, I am here today to apologize to you on behalf of my younger brother."

"All the faults, however many, lie with my younger brother. I have prepared a small gift; I hope you will forgive and forget."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Zhili beside him.

Zhang Zhili quickly picked up a wooden box, waiting for Su Xintang's response.

According to divine rites, Zhang Zhiyi released incense and prayer wheels outside the temple, signifying that he was apologizing in his official capacity as a god.

Su Xintang naturally had to release her Dao Wheel in response, as a deity. Whether she accepted it or not, she should release her Dao Wheel.

If they don't let go, it means they're determined to fight to the death.

As the sixth child of the family, Su Xintang and Meng Bai might secretly want to kill each other, but on the surface they would both be smiling. Naturally, they would never express any attitude of fighting to the death.

More importantly, what they were waiting for was a reasonable opportunity to release their resources. Now, that opportunity has arrived.

Then, Su Xintang released the Dao Wheel, which was full of cracks and was emitting black smoke.

As soon as this round was played, a gasp of surprise immediately rang out from the surrounding crowd.

Zhang Zhiyi was stunned for a long time, his expression surprised and his eyes full of doubt.

As for Zhang Zhili, who was holding the box on the side, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the shattered Dao Wheel, and then he immediately revealed an uncontrollable joy.

"Fellow Daoist, what is this...?" Zhang Zhiyi tried his best to remain natural.

"As I just said, in this world, you have to give up something to gain something. I became a spirit god at a young age, which seems to be very glorious, but every time I advance to a higher level, I will face nine deaths."

Now, the first calamity is the shattering of my Dao Wheel. If I cannot repair it within ten years, the moment my Dao Wheel completely collapses will be the moment of my death. I hope you will forgive my predicament, fellow Daoist.

After speaking, Su Xintang let out a long sigh, looking lost and forlorn.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiyi's expression changed drastically.

He had long suspected that Su Xintang was practicing an evil technique, but he never expected the price to be so high. Every time she advanced to the next level, she faced a near-death experience.

Will I die if I don't complete my Dao Wheel within ten years?

What can you do in ten years?
A spirit's lifespan is nearly a thousand years. Ten years of seclusion will pass in the blink of an eye, and its cultivation level may not even increase much.

No, is Su Xintang's statement believable?
This sounds unbelievable!
But this wheel is indeed cracked, and it looks like it's not far from collapsing.

So he tentatively asked, "May I ask how to complete this? If it is of any use to me, I am willing to serve you."

"There's no need for you to trouble yourself, fellow Daoist. To be honest, I have no time to dwell on what your brother did before. You don't need to apologize either, please go back."

Having said that, Su Xintang was about to see the guests off, as she and Meng Bai had achieved their goal.

They wanted people to know the price she paid for becoming a goddess. In this way, at least some people would be deterred, and the time it would take to be completely targeted would be delayed.

But seeing the cracks all over the Su Xin Tang Dao Lun, Zhang Zhiyi's thoughts changed again.

Their family motto is "Take advantage of your illness to kill you."

Since Su Xintang's Dao Wheel has shattered, why not take this opportunity to fight her? If I win, my brother's great revenge will be avenged, and I can also make a name for myself.

So he said loudly, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I have come here for two reasons. First, to apologize to my younger brother; second, to learn from you. It is truly rare for us to become gods at the same time. Why don't we have a friendly exchange?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhili glanced at Meng Bai and, as if he had found a scapegoat, loudly proclaimed, "Salvator God, I would also like to learn a thing or two from your protector."

After saying that, he deliberately added, "My eight divine protectors all want to learn from this gentleman."

The attitude was quite clear from those words.

They just want to bully others by taking advantage of their power, and they want to openly bully Su Xintang. As long as they don't kill anyone, even if the Heavenly Palace of the River Drum comes, they won't care.

However, Lu Shenyou, who was watching from a distance, immediately had a strange expression when he heard Zhang Zhili's words.

Others might not recognize Meng Bai, but he could.

What kind of audacity did Zhang Zhili have to dare to challenge a true immortal? Didn't he get enough of that beating in the Dream Realm last time?

Even Meng Bai and Su Xintang's expressions became strange.

Meng Bai, in particular, seized the opportunity to ask, "So, you mean there are eight of us against one of me?"

"Heh~" Zhang Zhili chuckled.

Meng Bai then turned to Zhang Zhiyi and said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid your brother's actions are somewhat inappropriate?"

“You can’t say that. It’s just a friendly spar. These eight protectors have been one since childhood, so they are considered as one person.” Zhang Zhiyi chuckled and dropped the pretense.

We're just bullying people because of our power, so what?
"Oh, according to you, fellow Daoist, if it were me and my protector fighting you alone, you would have nothing to say?" Su Xintang said sarcastically.

Zhang Zhiyi did not respond immediately. He cautiously scanned Meng Bai with his divine sense, confirming that Meng Bai was a divine embryo.

He then smiled and said, "Of course, it's only proper for a friendly sparring match to have some protectors by your side. How about this: I'll bring eight protectors and my younger brother, and Your Excellency will bring your sister and this protector?"

"Heh~~ Hahahaha..." Su Xintang laughed mockingly.

Then he shouted to those around him, "Everyone has witnessed today how fair the Zhang family is!"

"Heh~" Zhang Zhiyi and Zhang Zhili also sneered, not caring at all.

The surrounding spirits dared not speak, since it was none of their business anyway. They could just watch the show and not interfere.

Just then, a pink figure floated over.

Neither Su Xintang nor Meng Bai expected that the person who came would be Lu Xiqing.

Her palace attire fluttered as she stood in the air, coldly looking at Zhang Zhili and Zhang Zhiyi, and said, "The Zhang family is truly capable, coming to Purple Lotus Divine Island to cause trouble? Do they really think my Lu family doesn't exist?"

Zhang Zhiyi didn't recognize Lu Xiqing. Seeing that she, a mere mid-stage Jade Bone Celestial Spirit, dared to spout such nonsense here, he was about to reprimand her.

But Zhang Zhili said, "Lu Xiqing, you're no longer the goddess, yet you still want to stand up for these two?"

"So it's the goddess of the Lu family? My apologies, goddess Lu. This is a private matter between me and my fellow Daoist who saves us from suffering. I had no intention of offending any manifest deity." Zhang Zhiyi wasn't so arrogant as to criticize the Lu family here.

After saying that, he didn't wait for a reply, but glanced at Su Xintang and said, "I'll wait for you in the sea of ​​clouds outside the island. If you're afraid, Fellow Daoist Jiuku, just shout 'I admit defeat' three times."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Su Xintang snorted coldly, then she and Meng Bai glanced at Lu Xiqing together before flying directly off the island.

They refused to believe that two people couldn't beat Zhang Zhiyi alone.

If we don't beat this bastard to a pulp today, they're not human anymore!

If given the chance, Meng Bai even considered killing this guy, putting a Yin-Yang Fruit core into his corpse, and stealing his place.

Seeing that they were enraged, Zhang Zhiyi smiled smugly.

He nodded to Lu Xiqing again before leading Zhang Zhili and the others to fly off the island.

Seeing this, the other celestial beings naturally wouldn't stand idly by. One by one, like shooting stars, they followed closely behind, intending to go and see what the commotion was about.
