Chapter 39 Everyone Realizes the Deception
So, no treasures are found here?
At this thought, a surge of anger immediately rose in everyone's heart, and the flames grew larger and larger.
Of all these, the Three Pure Ones were the most furious.
Because they had a previous conflict with Jieyin and Zhunti.
At that moment, Yuan Shi's eyes lit up. He looked very carefully and realized that Ling Xiao was not here...
"Are you guys crazy?"
Yuanshi roared angrily, "Why did you reveal your true form here and cause such a commotion?"
"We thought a treasure had appeared, but I think you're just playing a trick on us."
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the many powerful figures present turned even more hostile towards Jieyin and Zhunti.
Zhunti transformed into human form, chuckled, and said, "I'm happy to do it, you expressionless deadpan, what's it to you?"
"You live in the East China Sea? Why are you being so nosy?"
Not to be outdone, Zhunti retorted sharply.
Yuan Shi was overjoyed; this brute had indeed fallen for his trick!
Seeing that everyone's gazes were growing colder, Jieyin smiled wryly, transformed into human form, and stood in front of Zhunti. Looking at everyone, he said with a touch of melancholy, "My third brother and I did not play tricks on you."
"After the lecture at Zixiao Palace, my third brother and I felt something and sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough."
"Therefore, he transformed his form here, intending to perceive the opportunity in his original form."
"Just now, we finally seized that opportunity!"
"Unexpectedly, your sudden arrival has disturbed my brother's state of mind. Not only have we failed to break through, but our cultivation has also dropped considerably."
As he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes, and then he turned his back to the crowd, his shoulders trembling.
Everyone heard the intermittent sobs that followed.
Yuan Shi: "..."
Is that such a coincidence?
In an instant, everyone's gaze softened considerably.
The hatred of those who obstruct one's path is akin to the murder of one's parents; this has been true since ancient times.
In that sense, it was they who disturbed the two brothers.
Some kind-hearted people looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with apologetic eyes.
At this moment, the precious light above Mount Buzhou also completely disappeared.
"Alas! If I had known, I would never have come here."
Nuwa stamped her jade feet, her pretty face filled with regret.
She felt her chance had vanished.
Yuanshi looked at Zhunti and asked in confusion, "Where is your elder brother?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Yes.
Jieyin, Zhunti, and Lingxiao have always been inseparable in Zixiao Palace.
Logically, if these two wanted to break through their cultivation level, their elder brother should have protected them.
Zhunti raised his head, glanced sideways at Yuanshi, smiled slightly, and said, "My elder brother, a dragon appears and disappears without a trace, roaming freely in the vastness of heaven and earth, what business is it of yours?"
After he finished speaking, he looked around at the sky and thought to himself, "Brother, did you succeed? Come and save me quickly!"
At this moment, the powerful beings silently surrounded Jieyin and Zhunti in the center.
Among them, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were the most furious, for they had already sensed that the first ray of precious light contained their own destiny.
That was a destiny ordained by heaven!
Logically speaking, no one can bypass the will of Heaven and intercept it.
But now, each of them feels empty inside.
Like losing precious treasures, every beating heart seems to be bleeding at this moment.
At this moment, these renowned and powerful figures were thinking like spinning tops, pondering the reason behind this matter.
"wrong!"
Taiqing Laozi, who had been keeping his eyes down, seemingly half-asleep, suddenly opened them and shouted, "I've figured it out!"
"Ling Xiao and these two were always inseparable, but now Ling Xiao has disappeared without a trace."
"But these two have revealed themselves in their true forms here. What is their purpose?"
Taiqing Laozi's face was gloomy, and suddenly a beam of dark yellow light flew out from the top of his head. It was the Xuanhuang Pagoda, a treasure of acquired merit.
Holding the Taiyi whisk, he angrily said, "These two are here to mislead us, to make us believe that a supreme treasure has appeared, and to lure us here so that Lingxiao can easily obtain the real treasure."
"This scheme has deceived everyone, perfectly manipulating our minds. Who among the three of you was behind this?"
Taiqing Laozi's tone was filled with shock, and the light of emotion in his eyes grew even brighter.
Taiqing Laozi succinctly explained the whole story.
Upon hearing these words, Jieyin and Zhunti's pupils suddenly dilated.
He couldn't help but marvel at Taiqing Laozi. As expected of the head of the Three Pure Ones, he usually seemed taciturn, but when something really happened, he was more meticulous than anyone else.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa, Fuxi, and the other powerful beings were also shocked.
They looked at each other, their minds filled with complex emotions. Who could possibly treat so many innate deities as mere pawns, allowing them to manipulate them at will?
This feeling of terror lasted only a moment, followed by endless rage!
You son of a bitch!!
So Ling Xiao seized their opportunity so easily?
Of course, this is just their speculation; whether it's true or not, they'll have to see it for themselves.
Seeing countless predatory gazes coming his way, Zhunti immediately summoned the Seven Treasure Tree.
If all else fails, we'll fight!
However, Jieyin stepped forward, looked at Taiqing Laozi, and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is merely your subjective conjecture. Without any factual basis, you slander us like this. Do you intend to fight us?"
The Three Pure Ones were even angrier. They unanimously decided that Ling Xiao and his companion had kept the treasure for themselves.
They immediately decided to take action to suppress the two men.
After suppressing the two of them, if Ling Xiao arrives, force him to hand over the treasure.
"Gentlemen, please hear me out."
Just then, a gentle voice rang out.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Hongyun who was speaking.
Yuan Shi flung his sleeve and said impatiently, "Don't say anything, I won't listen!!"
Hongyun chuckled and said, "Gentlemen, the treasures belong to the virtuous. What is ours will not escape us, and what is not ours, we cannot obtain even if we want it."
"Since we are not destined to be together, let's just stop here and not make things difficult for these two fellow Daoists."
How could so many powerful beings take his words to heart?
Immediately, Yuanshi angrily said, "Stop pretending to be a good guy here. If you're going to give up, give me a supreme innate treasure!!"
Kunpeng said sarcastically, "Hongyun, since this has nothing to do with you, why are you making such a fuss? Could it be that you're in cahoots with these two, and you're only speaking up for them now that we're about to cause trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. Pointing at Hongyun, he said, "What Kunpeng said is exactly what I was thinking. You scoundrel, are you still pretending to be a good person?"
In an instant, the anger of the powerful figures over the lost opportunity swept over Hongyun.
They launched into a tirade of accusations and insults at him.
After Hongyun explained for a while, he found that these people were getting more and more aggressive in their insults, and they were almost ready to tear him to pieces.
