After Tongtian left with Duobao, Taishang looked at Qilin Chen!
"It's one thing for Duobao to kneel and beg for forgiveness, but what about you? Why are you joining in the fun?"
Qilin Chen scratched his head. Without Duobao around, he had no more reservations. "Senior Uncle Master, I discovered a flaw in Duobao's dao heart. If my Senior Uncle Master hadn't punished me, this matter wouldn't have fallen upon Duobao. I feel somewhat sorry for Junior Brother Duobao!"
Taishang laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Good! Good! Excellent! Seeing that your punishment is over and you can consider such matters, you finally look like a true disciple of the Sanqing."
"I also noticed Duobao's situation. The reason I sent your master to accompany him wasn't just for the sake of cleaning house. Ma Yuan's actions are unforgivable, yet Duobao feels guilt. Whether his dao heart can be perfected on this journey depends on his fortune!"
On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti watched Ma Yuan, whose cultivation had not only recovered to the peak of Golden Immortal but had also advanced into the Da Luo realm. He had now become the highest-cultivated among their disciples' brothers. As they secretly chuckled at Kunlun for sending them such a valuable gift, Tongtian's voice suddenly boomed!
"Tongtian of Kunlun has come to pay respects!"
Tongtian's voice echoed in the main hall of the Sumeru Palace. Upon hearing it, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces turned extremely grim. Their worst fears had come true!
Ma Yuan's face turned deathly pale upon hearing Tongtian's voice!
Zhunti looked at Ma Yuan's bloodless face and immediately comforted him. "Ma Yuan, you don't need to worry. You have now joined my sect. Your master and I will not allow Tongtian to attack you!"
Jieyin also nodded. Ma Yuan's heart had just settled upon hearing Zhunti's words when he saw Tongtian and Duobao stepping into the Sumeru Palace!
The moment Ma Yuan saw Duobao, an overwhelming hatred surged within him!
Tongtian let out a cold snort. Ma Yuan was immediately struck as if by lightning. Zhunti, seeing this, immediately intervened, deflecting Tongtian's attack for Ma Yuan!
Jieyin's brow furrowed as he saw Tongtian's aggressive demeanor. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, this is not right. How can you attack a junior?"
Tongtian stared coldly at Jieyin. "Attack a junior? Are you two really that idle, interfering even when I discipline my disciple?"
Zhunti stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, that's not how you should put it. Ma Yuan has now joined my sect and is my disciple. Your actions are inappropriate!"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian burst into laughter as if he had heard the greatest joke. "Your disciple? His dao foundation was laid by my Supreme Purity profound techniques. How dare you claim him as your disciple?"
Zhunti was immediately speechless. Tongtian was right; Ma Yuan's dao foundation had indeed been laid in Kunlun!
Ma Yuan saw that the situation was developing unfavorably. He had already committed a grave sin by wantonly slaughtering the human race, and if he were now branded a traitor to his sect, he would surely perish without a trace. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, Duobao has already expelled me from the sect."
Jieyin's face darkened. He hadn't expected Ma Yuan to be expelled by Duobao. He and Zhunti had assumed Tongtian had personally taken action!
Zhunti also cursed inwardly upon hearing Ma Yuan's words, realizing that he and Jieyin had both misunderstood!
Tongtian glanced at Duobao, then looked up at Ma Yuan. "Since you have been expelled by Duobao, you must return everything you received from Kunlun. Will you do it yourself, or shall I act?"
Seeing Tongtian's relentless pressure, Zhunti roared, "Tongtian, enough! Do you really think my brothers are easy to bully?"
Tongtian glanced at Zhunti, and the Zhuxian Array Diagram immediately appeared in his hand, with the Four Zhuxian Swords surrounding him, forming a barrier around Tongtian and Duobao.
Jieyin's expression changed. He hadn't expected that Zhunti would say a mere heartfelt sentence, and this scoundrel Tongtian would already be preparing to attack. He immediately became vigilant, watching Tongtian.
Zhunti's expression also changed, realizing that Tongtian had actually brought out the Zhuxian Array Diagram and the Four Zhuxian Swords.
Zhunti was actually a little panicked. He wasn't very confident in his ability to fight Tongtian.
Tongtian coldly looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and said emotionlessly, "Ma Yuan will be punished by Kunlun today. No one can protect him, including the two of you!"
"If the two of you insist on this, then let me see what progress you two have made over the years!"
After speaking, Tongtian pointed at Jieyin and Zhunti.
When had Jieyin and Zhunti ever been treated like this, especially in their own territory? If they tolerated it further, how would their disciples perceive them!
Jieyin and Zhunti immediately stood up, looking at Tongtian with great anger. "Tongtian, how dare you be so arrogant! This is my Mount Sumeru, not your Kunlun!"
As they spoke, a powerful aura surged from their bodies towards the heavens, exerting immense pressure on Tongtian and Duobao.
Tongtian was not to be outdone, and a powerful aura also shot up from his body, confronting Jieyin and Zhunti.
In the chaos, Nuwa and Taihao had just arrived at Wa Huang Palace when they detected the surging saintly auras from Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, then headed towards the Western Mount Sumeru.
In the Underworld, Houtu had also just arrived and hadn't even had time to rest when she noticed Mount Sumeru in the west.
Houtu murmured to herself, "Why are Tongtian and Jieyin and Zhunti confronting each other?"
The Great Emperor Fengdu beside Houtu looked at her with some concern. "Your Majesty, you should go and see. If a saintly war erupts in the Great Desolation, it will surely result in countless casualties. Our Underworld cannot bear such a burden at the moment!"
Houtu felt a headache upon hearing this. She rubbed her forehead and also headed towards Mount Sumeru.
On Kunlun Mountain, Taishang glanced towards the west. He truly hadn't expected that Jieyin and Zhunti would go so far as to confront Tongtian for a mere disciple of Kunlun!
Taishang took a step forward and disappeared before Qilin Chen.
On Sanqing Peak, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun were about to enjoy some private time together when they frowned. Zhenyuanzi said, "When did Jieyin and Zhunti become so tough? Let's go and take a look too!"
Hongyun nodded in agreement, and the two of them disappeared from Sanqing Peak.
On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and suddenly roared, "Bodhi White Lotus Formation!"
As soon as Jieyin and Zhunti finished speaking, a white lotus appeared behind Jieyin, and at the same time, a Bodhi tree appeared behind Zhunti.
With the appearance of the white lotus and the Bodhi tree, a clear spring emerged above Mount Sumeru. A large white lotus soon grew in the spring, and then the white lotus produced flowers everywhere, transforming into countless white lotuses in bud.
As the white lotuses increased, a Bodhi tree also appeared by the edge of the spring. The Bodhi tree quickly bloomed and bore fruit, and countless Bodhi seeds suddenly fell from the tree. The moment they touched the ground, they transformed into countless golden figures in dignified meditation.
At the same time, all the budding white lotuses bloomed, and within each white lotus was a golden figure. As these figures emerged, they began chanting scriptures together with the figures beneath the Bodhi tree.
Countless golden scriptures flew from the mouths of these figures towards the sky above Mount Sumeru, forming a massive "卍" symbol that pressed down upon Tongtian.
Tongtian let out a cold snort and said disdainfully, "You want to use a formation to deal with me? A fool's dream. You weren't even born when I was already mastering formations!"
