Lei Jun calmly said, "Junior Sister, don’t be quick to anger. Today, let’s deal with Huang Xuanpu first... It’s not about prioritizing, opportunities may arise anytime, no need to rush at the moment."
Firstly, he trusted Tang Xiaotang’s judgment.
Then, based on this, he connected a few rumors about the Four-eyed Python Emperor regarding what Master Sang Ji and now Master Zongcuo might be planning. He had some guesses in his mind.
So, things became very simple...
"Junior Sister might as well do as Senior Sister and go ahead without wasting expressions on them. Let me handle the greetings," Lei Jun said.
Tang Xiaotang never refused to show off and receive compliments, but now her mood had been spoiled. She truly had no desire to interact with people:
"Let’s deal with Huang Xuanpu first, and then settle accounts with that bald donkey later!"
She snorted and left after bidding goodbye to Lei Jun.
Lei Jun remained calm, watching as several figures appeared on the distant sea horizon.
"Elder Lei."
"Master Lei."
"Taoist Xuanxiao Zi."
Shangguan Yunbo, Zhang Rui, Elder Miaokong, Master Zongcuo, and Chu Peng successively appeared.
Lei Jun greeted everyone one by one, "To quickly find the remnants of the Mortal Tao Country, Senior Sister and Sect Leader, along with me, have split up. I am specifically here waiting for the Great General and fellow Taoists. This way, please."
Although Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang were not seen, Shangguan Yunbo and the others did not ask more at this time, focusing on the Mortal Tao Country.
"The sudden change in the southwest has the court somewhat understaffed. Fortunately, your sect did not hesitate to face the danger. Otherwise, the chaos of the Mortal Tao Country might put the court in a bind," Shangguan Yunbo said.
Lei Jun: "Our sect and Mount Shu are both branches of the Taoist sect. Currently, they may be facing danger, and our sect cannot aid them. I deeply regret this, but this time, it is rare to have clues about Huang Xuanpu and the Taiyi Primordial Tower. If we miss it, who knows if there will be another chance to make up for it in the future."
Shangguan Yunbo: "That’s natural, so His Majesty has specifically decreed that this general and fellow Taoists come to assist.
Also, please don’t worry, Master Lei, Celestial Master Tang, and Taoist Xu. His Majesty will take care to ensure that Dragon Tiger Mountain is not taken advantage of by evil doers.
The more tumultuous the times, the more we need to work together."
Lei Jun: "The Great General is right."
As they talked, their figures moved across the sea.
They ventured into the deep sea and the open ocean.
Master Zongcuo’s face was unchanged, but he felt some regret in his heart.
He had no more thoughts.
Jiasheng Upper Master is currently assisting in sealing the Luo Yuan Gate in the northern sea area, dealing with the changes in Luo Yuan.
Master Renzhu is assisting in dealing with the Netherworld upheavals in the southwest.
The Vajra Division of the Xumi Vajra Sect does not intend to make major moves on the Mortal Tao Country.
Master Zongcuo came more to make a statement.
On the other hand, he also wanted to observe Xu, Tang, and Lei of Dragon Tiger Mountain more closely and directly. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
They are all prime targets for conversion.
But correspondingly, the difficulty is immense.
Precisely because of this, it is more important to understand them deeply.
If they cannot be converted, in the struggle between Buddha and Tao, they will surely become key opponents in the future.
From a know-thyself-and-thy-enemy perspective, one cannot relax vigilance towards them.
"This time, I hope to retrieve our sect’s treasured Celestial Master Robe," Lei Jun, with an unchanged face, walked alongside Master Zongcuo and spoke calmly.
Master Zongcuo could feel the thick distrust in the other’s words: "Elder Lei, please rest assured, the treasure returning to its rightful owner is only natural. I also hope your sect’s treasured item can return to Dragon Tiger Mountain soon."
Lei Jun: "Thank you for your kind words, Master."
Meanwhile, at Tianlong Temple, Elder Miaokong softly asked, "Elder Lei, did your Master Elder Yuan mention if our sect’s junior brother Faqing will be coming today?"
Previously causing some awkwardness for Master Zongcuo, now Lei Jun felt the same awkwardness.
However, his expression remained calm, showing no signs of discomfort:
"The gratitude for Master Faqing’s help in the past is remembered by our whole sect. However, since Master Faqing left the mountain years ago, our master has not been able to contact him. My disciple and I think of it often and feel regret in our hearts."
Elder Miaokong sighed lightly upon hearing this.
The nearby Master Zongcuo also cared secretly about the Monk Faqing who appeared briefly at Dragon Tiger Mountain. Listening to Lei Jun and Elder Miaokong mention him, he too felt regret.
While chatting with Shangguan Yunbo, Elder Miaokong, and others, Lei Jun continued to keep a watchful eye on changes in all directions.
He had a rough idea of the location of the Taiyi Primordial Tower.
Just waiting to find Huang Xuanpu.
Or rather, just waiting for another party to also locate the Taiyi Primordial Tower.
The other party did not disappoint him.
Amidst the deep sea waves, a sword light suddenly flickered, passing directly through multiple layers of waves, deep into the seabed.
In the next moment, the sea tides drastically surged.
The waves did not simply part.
Instead, the entire world seemed to be a canvas, neatly cut from the outside.
Streams of light shimmered within.
Amidst the swirling mist, a six-story tower rose from the seabed.
It was the Taiyi Primordial Tower.
Opposite it was a seven-foot giant sword of ancient appearance.
The ancient long sword, though enormous, still seemed insignificant compared to the tower in stature.
But at this moment, as the sword light unfurled, the void agitated, it seemed the seven-foot giant sword was pressing down on the tower, preventing it from teleporting away through the void.
Beneath the sword light, a figure in a hemp robe emerged faintly, reaching out to press on the tower.
The mana aura of the Taiyi Primordial Tower had a curious similarity to that of the seven-foot giant sword, yet they were intensely repellent to each other.
Therefore, the hemp-robed nun faced great difficulty in retrieving this magical treasure.
But her cultivation was astonishing, gradually starting to dissolve the talisman seals on the tower, attempting to refine it.
Until suddenly, a voice came from within the Taiyi Primordial Tower: "For a fellow Taoist to kick someone when they’re down is chilling."
Immediately, a powerful force shook the hemp-robed nun’s palm away.
The newcomer, although not of the Daoist Artifact Refining Sect lineage, possessed extremely formidable strength.
The hemp-robed nun said: "Congratulations to the Taoist brother for achieving the Five Qi Towards Primordial full completion, but the fellow Daoist Fu you intended has perished. Are there any other suitable candidates to wield this treasure?
This treasure is of great importance to me, I ask the Taoist brother to grant me this favor, and I shall repay you in the future."
Inside the Taiyi Primordial Tower, Huang Xuanpu was about to speak when his gaze suddenly sharpened slightly.
The nun, referred to as the Western White Emperor by Fu Dongsen, had a similar flicker in her eyes.
In the distant sky, golden light suddenly appeared, followed by dark clouds.
"Old Huang, if you’re smart this time, don’t run!" Tang Xiaotang charged forth, accompanied by purple and gold lightning, descending from the sky.
The hemp-robed nun furrowed her brow then relaxed, withdrawing her own Taiyi Breakthrough Sword, preparing to retreat to the side.
But at this moment, an astonishing change occurred inside the Taiyi Primordial Tower.
The collision of two great void treasures caused the void to twist, forming creases that practically materialized, overlapping in layers, instantly engulfing the entire surrounding world.
Tang Xiaotang remained fearless, rushing into the midst, wielding the Celestial Master’s Sword with a purple glow crashing down like thunder or a sword blade.
The hemp-robed nun resigned herself, unfolding her Chaotic Heaven Elixir Robe for defense.
The arriving Xu Yuanzhen suddenly halted, as under the change of the Taiyi Primordial Tower, the mana aura of Huang Xuanpu seemed to vanish.
"Cunning old fox."
Seeing that Tang Xiaotang was currently safe, Xu Yuanzhen then contacted Lei Jun’s side: "Can you still follow?"
Lei Jun replied calmly: "It will take some time. We need to set up a new ritual instrument at a place where earth vein spiritual energy converges. He has already left a mark, and now that we are closer, he can’t escape."
In front of Shangguan Yunbo and the others, he naturally credited Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen for the ability to track Huang Xuanpu.
Shangguan Yunbo perceived the chaotic scene of battle in the distance and thus said: "Prince Huayang and Brother Youliang of Suzhou will assist Celestial Master Tang here. Master Zongcuo and Elder Miaokong will protect Master Lei while this general and Taoist Xu go to find Huang Xuanpu."
Lei Jun: "Thanks to the Great General and fellow Taoists for your efforts."
