On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

Above Mount Cuiyun, a fierce battle between water and fire raged.

The Iron Fan Woman activated her banana leaf fan, and the Samadhi True Fire roared out like an angry dragon, its flames soaring to the heavens that they almost turned the entire sky crimson.

Su Bai, now in dragon form, stood on a cloud, surrounded by water vapor. He manipulated the water of the deep pool as if it were his own arm, turning it into curtains of water to resist the onslaught of flames.

"Little girl, is that all you've got?" Su Bai sneered.

"You!" The Iron Fan Woman was enraged. She waved her banana leaf fan again, "Behold my power!"

The banana leaf fan shone brightly, this time spewing out not only Samadhi True Fire, but also many supernatural powers taught by Laozi.

The flames contained both yin and yang energies, causing their power to surge dramatically, even burning cracks in the void.

"Interesting." Su Bai narrowed his eyes.

He knew he could no longer hold back. Although this Iron Fan Woman was young, she had received Laozi's true teachings and her strength was indeed remarkable.

"Since that's the case..." Su Bai took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly changed.

next moment--

A dazzling golden light burst forth from his body!

It was a lamp, golden in color, emitting a soft yet powerful light.

It is the Lotus Lantern!

"What?!"

In the Jade Pool, the immortals instantly erupted in chaos!

"That's... the Lotus Lantern?!" Venus's eyes widened.

"How is this possible?!" the Giant Spirit God exclaimed.

"Yang Chan went to find Su Bai before, and actually gave him the Lotus Lantern?!" Guang Chengzi said in disbelief.

Master Yu Ding exclaimed in shock, "Could it be... that the Lotus Lantern really did reincarnate with that wicked dragon?"

Three Immortal Islands, Biyou Palace.

The three sisters, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, looked at the Lotus Lantern on the light screen, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"It's Yang Chan's Lotus Lantern..." Yunxiao said softly.

"Sister, you said Jianling..." Qiongxiao hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Bixiao bit her lip, her eyes reddening slightly: "He has the mark of the Lotus Lantern on him, which means he still has that woman in his heart."

"us……"

"Don't think about it anymore," Yunxiao interrupted her. "Back then, we arrived too late and made him wait too long."

"Now..." Yunxiao looked at the light screen, "the most important thing now is to save his life."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

The three sisters fell silent, but the determination in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

In the scene, the Lotus Lantern shines with dazzling light.

A soft golden light enveloped Su Bai, making him look like a god descended to earth, majestic and holy.

"The Lotus Lantern?" The Iron Fan Woman was stunned. "How do you have the Lotus Lantern?"

Although she had been cultivating in the Tushita Palace, she had still heard about some major events in the Three Realms.

The Lotus Lantern was one of the most precious treasures of the Goddess Nuwa, and it was later bestowed upon the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan.

How come this dragon has a Lotus Lantern?

"Why bother with all that?" Su Bai sneered. "Since you're using the Banana Leaf Fan, then I'll use the Lotus Lantern!"

"Come on, let's see if your banana leaf fan is more powerful, or my lotus lantern is stronger!"

After saying that, Su Bai activated the Lotus Lantern.

Golden light instantly enveloped the entire area, and a powerful pressure spread out.

The light from the Lotus Lantern transformed into beams of golden light, shooting towards the Iron Fan Woman.

The woman with the iron fan quickly waved her banana leaf fan to defend herself.

The Samadhi True Fire transformed into a wall of fire, blocking her way.

however--

"boom!"

The light from the Lotus Lantern pierced through the wall of fire and hurtled unstoppably towards Iron Fan Woman.

"What?!" the Iron Fan Woman exclaimed in shock.

She quickly activated the banana leaf fan, maximizing the power of the flames.

However, the light from the Lotus Lantern was too powerful, and Iron Fan Girl couldn't block it at all.

"Bang bang bang—"

Several beams of light struck the banana leaf fan in succession, causing the Iron Fan Woman to stagger backward.

"How is this possible?" The Iron Fan Woman exclaimed incredulously. "My Banana Leaf Fan is a magical treasure bestowed upon me by my father, how could it..."

Her Samadhi True Fire appeared so pale and powerless in the face of the light of the Lotus Lantern.

"Damn it!" the Iron Fan Woman gritted her teeth. "I refuse to accept this!"

She exerted all her strength to unleash the full power of the banana leaf fan.

The flames transformed into a gigantic fire dragon, roaring as it charged toward Su Bai.

Upon seeing this, Su Bai's lips curled into a slight smile.

"I'll show you the true power of the Lotus Lantern!"

He made a hand seal, and the Lotus Lantern floated above his head, radiating an unprecedented light.

Golden light surged forth like a tide, instantly engulfing the fire dragon.

"Boom—"

A huge explosion rang out, and the fire dragon turned to ashes in the light.

The Iron Fan Woman was thrown back by the aftershock, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"puff--"

Her face turned pale instantly, and she became weak and listless.

"Damn it..." the Iron Fan Woman gritted her teeth, "I'm no match for him..."

She was unwilling to accept it, but she had to admit that she was indeed no match for this dragon.

"Retreat first!" Iron Fan Woman made a wise choice.

She turned and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing towards the cave at the summit of Cuiyun Mountain.

"Trying to run?" Su Bai sneered. "Too late!"

The underworld, the palace of Yama.

Laozi's face turned ashen as he looked at the tragic state of the Iron Fan Woman in the light screen.

"This is outrageous!" Laozi said angrily.

He never imagined that his carefully nurtured adopted daughter would be beaten so badly by that evil dragon.

What angered him even more was that the evil dragon actually used the Lotus Lantern to bully Iron Fan!

"I can't take it anymore!" Laozi looked at Su Bai in the Yama Palace.

"You wicked dragon! You dare to harm my adopted daughter? You're truly tired of living!" Laozi's voice boomed like thunder, resounding throughout heaven and earth.

Su Bai sensed Laozi's presence, yet a smile crept onto his lips.

"Oh, is Laozi getting impatient??" Su Bai said nonchalantly. "Come on, go ahead and do it!"

"You!" Laozi was furious.

Why isn't this wicked dragon afraid of him at all?

Inside the Jade Pool, all the immortals held their breath.

Laozi is about to make his move!

But Su Bai's reaction stunned everyone.

This wicked dragon isn't panicked at all?

They even provoked Laozi, asking him to take action.

"This wicked dragon is incredibly audacious!" Taibai Jinxing exclaimed in astonishment.

"Isn't he afraid that Laozi will slap him to death?" The Giant Spirit God was also shocked.

Zhao Gongming laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Good! That's how it should be!"

"You old fool, if you have the guts, then make a move!"

Lao Jun raised his palm, about to strike Su Bai.

But the next moment, he froze.

He realized a serious problem.

If Su Bai and Iron Fan Girl really have a karmic connection, what should be done?

This is a predicted future; although it may not necessarily happen, it represents a certain possibility.

If he were to obliterate Su Bai now, what if the Journey to the West calamity were to go wrong because of this?

Iron Fan Girl plays an important role in the Journey to the West: Great Tribulation. If her karmic connection with Su Bai is severed, will it affect the overall situation?

Lao Jun felt increasingly uneasy about it.

He dared not gamble.

The Journey to the West is a momentous event, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

"Damn it..." Lao Jun gritted his teeth, but finally lowered his hand.

"Hmph!" he sneered, "I'll spare your life for now!"

"Keep watching! Let's see what you do next!"

"If you dare to disrupt the overall plan, this old Taoist priest will surely annihilate you!"

After speaking, Laozi's illusory image dissipated and disappeared from the light screen.

Within the Jade Pool, the immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Laojun... has already retreated?" Taibai Jinxing asked incredulously.

"He didn't even make a move?" The Giant Spirit God was also shocked.

Zhao Gongming laughed even louder: "Hahaha! That old Taoist priest has chickened out!"

He dared not make a move! Because he feared it would jeopardize the overall progress of Journey to the West!

Jin Ling nodded: "It seems the karmic connection between that evil dragon and the Iron Fan Woman is indeed not simple."

"Laojun, fearing the consequences, dared not act rashly."

As the Jade Emperor watched this scene, his smile grew wider and wider.

"Great, excellent!"

"Laojun, you've finally met your match!"

Laozi in the underworld had an extremely ugly expression.

He gritted his teeth and stared intently at the light screen.

"Keep watching!" Laozi said in a deep voice. "This old Daoist wants to see what exactly will happen between this wicked dragon and the Iron Fan Woman!"

"If you dare to jeopardize the overall situation..."

"This old Taoist priest will surely make him wish he were dead!"
