Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Kunlun Mountain, Feiyun Cave.

The cave was filled with ethereal mist and the fragrance of sandalwood. Ju Liusun sat cross-legged on a futon, meditating with his eyes closed. Beside him was an exquisite jade pot filled with fine nectar.

Judging by the time, Tu Xingsun had been down the mountain for half a day. Ju Liusun thought to himself, although his disciple wasn't exactly handsome, his earth-walking technique combined with the Immortal-Binding Rope made him virtually invincible on the mortal battlefield. Capturing a female general from the Shang Dynasty would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

"As long as Tu Xingsun captures Deng Chanyu and brings her back to Xiqi, the morale of the Shang Dynasty will definitely be dampened. At that time, I can also show my face in front of my master and save some face for our Chan Sect." Ju Liusun stroked his beard and muttered to himself.

Previously, Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren suffered a great loss at Lin Xuan's hands, and Yuanshi Tianzun was furious, strictly forbidding the Twelve Golden Immortals from descending to the mortal realm without a decree. However, Ju Liusun felt that as long as he didn't personally intervene and let his disciple achieve some merit, Yuanshi Tianzun would be overjoyed and certainly wouldn't blame him.

"I wonder if that kid succeeded." Ju Liusun couldn't contain his curiosity. With a wave of his hand, a Xuan Guang Mirror with rippling water appeared in mid-air.

He made a hand seal, and the image in the Xuan Guang Mirror flickered, quickly locking onto Tu Xingsun's aura.

The image gradually became clear.

Ju Liusun's smiling face froze instantly.

He expected to see Tu Xingsun returning to the Xiqi camp in a triumphant display, binding Deng Chanyu. Instead, he saw a white, fleshy dumpling hanging between two thick logs.

Ju Liusun rubbed his eyes and leaned closer to the Xuan Guang Mirror for a closer look.

That meatball was none other than his beloved disciple, Tu Xingsun!

At this moment, Tu Xingsun was stripped naked, his hands tied behind his back, and he was hanging in mid-air. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and his mouth was covered in blood. What made Ju Liusun most devastated was that there was a broken wooden board hanging around Tu Xingsun's neck, on which were written in crooked characters: "Disciple of the Chan Sect, caught red-handed in a home invasion robbery."

The unrestrained laughter and whistling of the Shang soldiers below could still be heard through the Xuan Guang Mirror.

"This...this is outrageous! This is utterly outrageous!"

Ju Liusun was so angry that he trembled all over. He suddenly stood up and kicked the jade pot next to him, shattering it into pieces. The fine wine spilled all over the ground.

"Who! Who dares to humiliate my Chan Sect like this!" Ju Liusun's eyes turned red. He looked at the twelve large characters on the wooden board and felt that each character was like a loud slap in the face.

This isn't just hitting Tu Xingsun; it's clearly slapping Ju Liusun in the face, and the entire Chan Sect in the face!

Just then, the image in the Xuan Guang Mirror shifted, and Lin Xuan's face, bearing a mocking smile, appeared in the mirror. Lin Xuan even waved his hand in the direction of the Xuan Guang Mirror and mouthed something.

Ju Liusun understood lip reading; he understood. Lin Xuan said, "Old bald man, your apprentice is really fair-skinned."

"Lin Xuan! You've gone too far!"

Ju Liusun completely broke down. He let out a beast-like roar that shook the entire Flying Cloud Cave. The string of "reason" in his mind snapped instantly.

He didn't care about the prohibitions of the Primordial Celestial Venerable or the rules of the Great Calamity. He had only one thought in his mind: rush down, tear Lin Xuan to pieces, kill all the mortals who mocked his disciple, and snatch Tu Xingsun back!

Ju Liusun grabbed the whisk beside him, and his whole body transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing out of Feiyun Cave and speeding towards Xiqi.

He was, after all, at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and his speed was extremely fast. Before long, he could already see the outline of the Great Shang border.

Ju Liusun knew that Lin Xuan had set up a barrier called "Severing the Heavenly Connection" across the Nine Provinces. However, he had never tried it himself before and thought it was at most a warning formation. He figured that as long as he was fast enough, he could rush in and rescue the person before the barrier could react.

"Lin Xuan, you brat, prepare to die!" Ju Liusun roared, without slowing down at all, and crashed headlong into the void above the Chaoge territory.

"Bang--!"

A deafening roar exploded in mid-air.

Ju Liusun felt like a sparrow flying at full speed, crashing headfirst into a piece of transparent tempered glass that was invisible and intangible, but as hard as Mount Buzhou.

The immense recoil sent him flying. Ju Liusun tumbled more than a dozen times in mid-air before barely managing to regain his balance. He felt dizzy, his blood surging, and a sweet taste in his throat; he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Ju Liusun clutched his chest, staring ahead in terror.

At the very spot where he struck, countless golden runes suddenly appeared in the previously transparent void. These runes quickly intertwined to form a vast net covering the entire Kyushu.

Immediately afterwards, a cold, mechanical voice, tinged with Lin Xuan's accent, reverberated throughout the heavens and earth.

"Warning! Warning! Unauthorized Grand Luo Golden Immortal level creature detected forcibly entering the Nine Provinces Barrier."

"Identity: One of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Ju Liusun."

"No Emperor's visa detected. This has been determined to be an unauthorized intrusion."

"The automatic defense program of the Jedi Sky ProMax version has been activated. Prepare to execute a dimensional reduction attack and a thunderous sweep."

Ju Liusun felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this voice. Before he could even figure out what the "Emperor's Visa" was, the sky suddenly changed color.

The once pitch-black night sky was instantly dyed a deep purple. The clouds surged wildly, forming a massive vortex. At the center of the vortex, countless thick bolts of purple lightning, like raging thunder dragons, rolled and roared within the clouds.

That destructive pressure from the Heavenly Dao directly locked onto Ju Liusun.

Ju Liusun was terrified. He knew the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder; if that thing struck him, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would lose a layer of skin.

"Not good! Retreat quickly!" Ju Liusun didn't care about his disciple at this moment and turned around to run towards Kunlun Mountain.

But as soon as he turned around, the first bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a water bucket, slammed down from the clouds with a piercing shriek.

At this moment, in front of the Shang army camp.

Lin Xuan was leaning against a pillar at the gate, arms crossed, looking up at the spectacular thunderstorm in the sky.

Lin Wu, clutching a handful of sunflower seeds Lin Xuan had given him, excitedly asked while cracking them open, "Dad, what's that purple lightning in the sky? Is someone about to undergo tribulation?"

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile as he pointed at the tiny golden dot in the sky that was scurrying away in panic, saying, "What kind of tribulation is this? It's like the old man is coming to offer his head after the young one was beaten. Son, grab your melon seeds, today Dad's treating you to a free 'Lightning Strike the Bald Old Man' fireworks show. Guaranteed to be spectacular."
