Chapter 110 Nezha Shoots and Kills Biyun Boy, Shiji is Enraged and Demands Punishment from Li Jing

Western religion, Mount Sumeru.

The two Western Saints, who were originally discussing and expounding the Dharma by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, suddenly sensed something and were stunned.

Then, their expressions immediately darkened.

"Is Maitreya dead?"

"Who killed him?"

The two were furious. The Western Sect was poor in resources, and its only treasure might be these disciples.

Even outstanding third-generation disciples may receive personal instruction from a sage, which is almost unimaginable in other lineages.

It is easy to imagine how much the two Western saints valued talent.

It's not hard to imagine how furious the two of them would be at the fact that a second-generation direct disciple had died.

Maitreya is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which is far more precious than any innate spiritual treasure!

The two Western saints simultaneously began to calculate with their fingers, but their brows furrowed more and more deeply.

"Is it because the malevolent energy obscures the secrets of heaven that we cannot deduce them?"

The result of their calculations was this one.

We have absolutely no idea who the killer is!

In fact, such things can indeed happen during a great eon, but for a sage, there are very few things that cannot be predicted.

Unless a saint of the same level intervenes to cover it up, or there is a chosen one of destiny, or some special event related to the great eon, it may be possible to conceal the saint's calculations at certain specific times.

But even the killing of Maitreya could not be predicted?

The two Western Saints exchanged a glance, realizing that things were in grave danger.

"Oh no, junior brother, this great calamity of the gods, surely it won't break out first in my western territory?"

"Or perhaps, one of our fellow cultivators has already begun plotting against us?"

The guide's face grew even more distressed as he spoke.

"I don't know, but we should be prepared."

"No matter who dares to make a move, we will never let Maitreya's death go unpunished!"

Zhunti said fiercely.

And so, the two simply left Mount Sumeru and began to slowly search the western region, preparing to look for clues about Maitreya, hoping to deduce his whereabouts on the spot. Perhaps they could figure it out.

Unfortunately, with the Chaos Pearl concealing their identities, the two are destined never to learn the truth.

However, this time the Chaos Pearl did not transfer the cause and effect, or rather, it connected this cause and effect with the Calamity Qi in a perfectly timed way.

It seems that for the foreseeable future, the two Western Saints will have to live with constant suspicion and doubt...

……

In the eastern region, outside Chentang Pass.

With the support of Taiyi Zhenren, Nezha has become increasingly arrogant and domineering, showing no respect for anyone, not even Li Jing.

Recently, he secretly took out the treasures of Chentang Pass, namely the Qiankun Bow and the Zhentian Arrow, which are said to be unusable by anyone before.

This pair of bows and arrows has an extraordinary origin; they were once used by the Human Emperor Xuanyuan!

Although it cannot be considered a true innate spiritual treasure, because it was used by the Human Emperor, its power is greater than that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures.

"The Qiankun Bow is nothing special."

Nezha simply drew up the Qiankun Bow, nocked the Zhentian Arrow on it, aimed at a random spot, and shot it out, playing with it like a slingshot!

Whoosh!

And so, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, carrying the power to pierce through everything, shot out into the distance.

They traversed through numerous mountain ranges and arrived near Skull Mountain, where they shot and killed Biyun Tongzi, who happened to be out at the time!

This Biyun Boy happens to be the attendant of Shiji Niangniang, a Taiyi Golden Immortal who cultivates in the White Bone Cave of Skull Mountain.

Shi Ji was a second-generation outer disciple of the Jie Sect. Although she was not valued by her sect, she still cultivated to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal. She had a detached nature and enjoyed traveling around.

Then, seeing that Chentang Pass was located on the coast of the East China Sea and was often harassed by sea monsters and sea demons, she couldn't help but feel a sense of kindness.

Furthermore, Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass, had actually studied under a master, the True Man of Du'e from Kunlun Mountain, who happened to be a good friend of Shi Ji.

Since that's the case, she decided to stay nearby and look after Chentang Pass for a while, which would also be considered taking care of Li Jing.

For many years, Shiji has driven away countless waves of large and small monsters for Chentang Pass.

Unexpectedly, her disciple, Biyun Tongzi, was shot and killed here today.

Upon discovering the Heaven-Shaking Arrow on Bi Yun's corpse, Shi Ji was immediately enraged!

This is the treasure of Chentang Pass, and of course she recognizes it.

"You wicked Li Jing! I've protected Chen Tang Pass for years, and today I've been repaid with ingratitude, harming my little maid, Bi Yun!"

Enraged, Shi Ji flew directly to Chen Tang Pass and summoned Li Jing!

"Li Jing greets Lady Shiji!"

Just as Li Jing was about to pay his respects, he discovered that Shi Ji had bound him with a wave of her hand and taken him away from Chen Tang Pass, flying to Skull Mountain.

boom!

Shi Ji sat back on her throne, casually tossed Li Jing to the ground, and coldly looked down at him.

"Li Jing, my boy Biyun was killed by the Heaven-Shaking Arrow. Do you have anything to say about that?"

As she spoke, Shi Ji threw the blood-stained Zhen Tian Arrow in front of Li Jing.

"What? This, Lady Shiji, this junior truly does not know."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was greatly alarmed!

However, looking at the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, he had to admit that it was indeed a treasure of Chentang Pass, and there were only three Heaven-Shaking Arrows in total.

Moreover, as a Grand Immortal of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, Lady Shiji had no reason to try to fool him with this.

Li Jing immediately knelt down, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and sincerely promised:

"I beg Lady Shiji to give me another chance. When I return, I will surely find the murderer, bring him to my door, and give you an explanation!"

Seeing that Li Jing's expression didn't seem fake, Shi Ji's expression softened as well.

Although she was angry, she was a very reasonable person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed here to guard a human city that had nothing to do with her. You must know that she was a manifestation of a chaotic stone and had nothing to do with humans.

Since Li Jing was unaware of this matter and had already expressed his opinion, Shi Ji couldn't say anything.

"Alright, go and catch the murderer. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Afterwards, Li Jing hurriedly left Skull Mountain and used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth) all the way back to Chen Tang Pass. He angrily investigated to find out who the murderer was.

They almost brought disaster upon Chentang Pass!

Even if Lady Shiji didn't take her anger out on him, Li Jing still felt guilty, after all, she was a person of great virtue who came specifically to take care of him and the people of the human race.

No one would be happy to suddenly encounter such a situation.

What Li Jing didn't expect was...

After some investigation, they were shocked to discover that the murderer was their own son…

"Nezha!!!"

Li Jing roared loudly, his voice filled with overwhelming rage!

It's Nezha again!

This brat is simply incorrigible and will never learn!

Moreover, they've gone even further each time!

Li Jing pointed at Nezha with a trembling finger, and it took him a long time to speak.

"You unfilial son, come with me to Skull Mountain and kowtow to Lady Shiji to apologize!"

"If the Empress doesn't forgive you, let's see what you do then!"
