Chapter 398 Ten Thousand Miles of Green Grass, One Step to Xuandu
The Kunpeng suddenly spread its wings, and the Hetu and Luoshu shone brightly.
Each beam of light transformed into a lightsaber, raining down on Zhen Yuanzi.
Yang Jiao felt the terror of the innate treasure and exclaimed softly:
"Uncle, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's calm eyes flickered.
His expression remained unchanged. The Earth Book at his waist floated in front of him, its pages turning. Illusory images of mountains and rivers appeared out of thin air, and countless streams of light surged from the ground, forming a solid barrier that blocked all the attacks from the River Chart and Luo Book.
Bai Ze was already struggling to deal with two of them by himself.
Looking back at Yang Jiao, he gritted his teeth:
"Is this your trump card?"
"Your trump cards are only enough to restrain Kunpeng!"
He was distracted while speaking and was struck in the chest by Ji Meng, falling to the ground with a thud at Yang Jiao's feet.
Ji Meng sneered:
"Don't you pride yourself on being the smartest among the demon race? Can't you realize that you're no match for us?"
Bai Ze frowned, shoved the Hundred Demons Diagram into Yang Jiao's hand, and, watching Ji Meng approach step by step, hurriedly said:
"Quickly wrap yourself up and run!"
Yang Jiao did not answer.
Ji Meng moved even faster.
Each step carried a chilling aura. Yang Jiao gripped the Thousand Machine Staff and whispered:
"They should be here soon..."
A soft rustling sound, as if in response to her words.
A sword light slashed through the sky, tearing a gap in the encirclement of the Hetu Luoshu.
The sword, radiating a chilling aura, was embedded in front of Ji Meng's feet.
Ji Meng and Qin Yuan paused, exchanged a glance, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Bai Ze's pupils constricted, and he shouted as if granted a pardon:
"The Green Lotus Sword!"
In the Three Realms, it is beyond question whose sword the Qingping Sword belongs to.
Upon seeing this, Ji Meng dared not move again.
Even though the sword's owner never appeared, the mere sight of him wielding the sword from thousands of miles away was enough to terrify them.
That's—the Tongtian Sect Leader!
The actions of the Tongtian Sect Leader were undoubtedly a way of saying that the person in front of him was someone he was protecting.
Even though Ji Meng and Qin Yuan were once among the ten great demon saints of the Demon Court, and even though their cultivation level was not among the top few quasi-saints, they were still intimidated by a sword and dared not step forward.
Yang Jiao's eyes lit up with joy, and she bowed in the direction of Jin'ao Island.
The Master of Heaven is really good to me!
Through the gap ripped by the Qingping Sword, Yang Jiao finally saw Zhen Yuanzi.
He waved his hand and shouted:
"Uncle, Jiao'er is fine and has not been injured at all."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled with obvious satisfaction.
Bai Ze, who was still vomiting blood, lay sprawled at Yang Jiao's feet: "You have this trump card, why didn't you use it before I took this blow?"
Yang Jiao said innocently:
"How was I supposed to know he'd be so slow?"
Seeing that Yang Jiao was unharmed, Zhen Yuanzi focused even more intently on fighting Kunpeng.
Seeing that Ji Meng and Qin Yuan dared not attack again, the Kunpeng, with its mountain-like body, crashed into the barrier of the Earth Book, then turned back and angrily cursed:
"Fools! A mere sword has terrified you like this? How are you going to restore the Demon Court?"
"Once I obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, what does it matter if I'm a Saint? I'll immediately become a Saint and not only be on par with him, but after the Demon Court controls the Three Realms, I'll be even higher than him! You coward who's afraid of your father, kill her!"
Ji Meng and the others were given a severe dressing-down.
He was also furious. Since he had already offended them, he might as well offend them completely! If they could seize the Primordial Purple Qi, their demon race would have two saints!
Thinking of this, Ji Meng started walking again.
Bai Ze clutched his chest as he stood up, shielding Yang Jiao behind him, and cursed under his breath:
"They've gone mad! They even dare to ignore the warnings from the Tongtian Cult Leader."
Yes, it's just a warning, not the Tongtian Cult Leader himself coming here.
Bai Ze watched warily.
Yang Jiao looked up at the empty space in the void, her eyes half-closed, and softly called out:
"Since you're here, why haven't you shown yourself yet?"
Qin Yuan looked around but found nothing unusual. "It's just a bluff!"
He raised his hand and shot a poisoned needle at Yang Jiao.
Their speed was so fast that even Bai Ze, who was beside Yang Jiao, was unable to stop them due to his injury.
However, the needle stopped in mid-air before it could even get close to Yang Jiao, and then fell to the ground with force in an instant.
The poison on it remained undiminished, corroding the thick ice layer, and it fell into the deep sea.
"How could this happen?" Qin Yuan murmured.
At this moment,
The void above their heads began to distort.
Amidst a dazzling display of light, a hand with distinct knuckles appeared out of thin air, breaking through the barrier of space as if lifting a curtain.
As his hand gestures became larger, a celestial being appeared, clad in a deep blue robe with a jade sash cinching his waist and flowing cloud-patterned Taoist attire.
Behind him, Yang Jiao recognized it as the alchemy room of the Tushita Palace!
The green ox was still squatting in front of the alchemy furnace, counting the nine-turn golden pills in its palm. It took a moment to look up and wave at Yang Jiao:
"Senior sister? Senior sister!"
Niu Niu wanted to follow, but he was a step too slow.
Grand Master Xuandu used the Taiji Diagram, which contained the universe within it, to tear through the restricted space and leap from the Tushita Palace to the depths of the Northern Darkness.
"Xuandu...Grand Master!"
When Ji Meng saw the newcomer, he retreated in fear, his face turning pale.
Grand Master Xuandu looked at Yang Jiao and said gently:
"Fortunately, my Uncle Tongtian cut through the Hetu and Luoshu with his sword, otherwise I would have arrived much later."
The gentler he was when speaking to Yang Jiao, the colder his gaze was when looking at Ji Meng and Qin Yuan.
Grand Master Xuandu landed on the ice field and took a step toward Ji Meng, who took three steps back in fear.
Even Qin Yuan panicked.
Zhen Yuanzi, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Xuandu Dafashi...
Against this backdrop, Qin Yuan suddenly looked at Bai Ze, wondering if befriending this little girl would truly be more beneficial to the demon race.
But now she had no way out, and with fear and unease, she looked at Yang Jiao and asked:
Who exactly are you?
