Chapter 29

Clever Words and Flattery, Then Turning Away

Guang Chengzi watched as the four outer disciples arrived together, but he remained calm and composed, even ordering them to hand over Bixiao or face severe punishment.

Given the bond between these brothers and sisters, they would rather live and die together than hand over Bixia.

Therefore, Guang Chengzi never intended to die a peaceful death, and he was fearless even when facing three opponents alone.

Anyway, there are plenty of spaces inside the Immortal Suppression Tower. Whether you lock one up or four up, it doesn't really matter.

Moreover, if you push him too far, then don't say anything, just take out the Jade Void Treasure Box, lock them inside, and shake them into a pool of blood. This will let all the immortals of Shangqing know the power of the law and not think that they are spineless and dare not kill anyone.

As Guang Chengzi had predicted, seeing that this person was about to capture Bixiao, even Yunxiao, who had the best temper, was completely enraged.

Yunxiao originally didn't want to have any conflict with Guangchengzi and thought he should avoid the limelight for the time being. However, his third sister was extremely vengeful and actually took the treasure away while they were working together to activate their profound skills.

By the time they realized it, it was too late, and they could only rush here in an attempt to salvage the irreversible situation.

Unexpectedly, instead of seeing Guang Chengzi weakened, they saw Bi Xiao already defeated, and Guang Chengzi, still not knowing when to stop, actually wanted to kill her with one blow.

No matter how good-tempered or reasonable they were, witnessing their own sister being brutally murdered completely enraged them. Not to mention that Guang Chengzi was now so domineering and arrogant in ordering them to hand over their sister, they would never obey his orders, even if it meant death.

Yunxiao's beautiful face was filled with a solemn expression as she faced Guangchengzi, who remained calm. She simply asked, "Senior Brother Guangchengzi, is there really no way to resolve this peacefully? Bixiao has already admitted her mistake, and we will discipline her properly in the future. Why not let this matter be resolved peacefully, so that everyone can live in harmony?"

"What does it mean to live in peace? The premise of living in peace is that nothing happens. This Bixiao is vicious in her actions, and I think a demonic heart has already been born. How can I really just sit idly by and do nothing?"

Guang Chengzi's expression turned sharp, and he coldly shouted, "She calls herself a Fiend Star and Killer Star, and she is always complacent about it, taking pride in it and looking down on all heroes. Since that's the case, I will let her know what death is."

Only by understanding the cruelty of death can one appreciate the beauty of life. Ultimately, it is the three celestial beings above who will not truly let her die; she should obediently let me kill her once, so that she may learn the truth.

Qiongxiao, being the second eldest sister and closest to Bixiao, was immediately enraged upon hearing these words. She shouted, "What do you mean by 'knowing reason'? Are you implying that Bixiao is unreasonable? Are you saying that my master only teaches supernatural powers and not the Great Dao, and that his disciples are all wild beasts and barbarians?!"

It must be said that the Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming are quite capable to have broken through the ranks of the four inner disciples to become the four outer disciples.

Qiongxiao's words alone revealed her scheming nature. She not only flattered him but also dragged Tongtian into it, using this great deity to intimidate Guangchengzi.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already started to panic and explain, claiming that they hadn't said anything profound. Then these three people could naturally take advantage of the situation and turn the tables to clear themselves of this offense.

The best way to cover something up is not to order everyone to be silent, but to cover it up with something else so that everyone loses interest in it.

However, these words did not frighten Guang Chengzi. He glanced at Qiongxiao and sneered, "What Uncle Tongtian said is naturally the truth of the Great Dao, but some people love to pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons."

"She has the main road to heaven, yet she insists on taking the rugged path. No matter how kindly we advise her, she won't listen to a word, only to slanderous words. Even if the Heavenly Master Uncle were to earnestly teach her, I doubt even the Heavenly Dao itself could teach her!"

Guang Chengzi's sarcastic and mocking words really angered Qiongxiao so much that her pretty face turned red, and a wisp of smoke rose from her head, as if she was so angry that she was practically smoking.

Yunxiao knew that arguing with Guangchengzi was pointless. Seeing that things were unlikely to end anytime soon, she had nothing more to say. She reached out and grabbed at the air, and a yellow map suddenly appeared, covering all the immortals present. Even the hundreds of Shangqing immortals were not able to escape and fell into the formation as well.

Guang Chengzi naturally fell into the formation as well, but he wasn't too surprised, since Yunxiao also had such methods.

It can refine a vast array into a small array diagram, which can be carried around and used at will, solving the problems of the difficulty in setting up a large array and the drawback of waiting for the enemy to come to you.

Seeing the panicked state of the hundred or so Shangqing immortals around him, Guang Chengzi gave a soft shout, and a small bronze tower slowly rose above his head. The tower shook in mid-air and immediately scattered dazzling immortal light. Auspicious clouds and mists flew in spontaneously and directly imprisoned all the immortals inside.

"This formation is dangerous, so you should stay where you are. Yunxiao is not a murderer, so if you don't move around, you will be fine," Guangchengzi said.

Upon hearing this, the immortals who were initially somewhat panicked calmed down and began to look at the fairyland with great interest, wanting to see what the legendary Immortal-Suppressing Tower looked like.

These immortals were watching, and Guang Chengzi was watching as well, but he was looking at the specific appearance of this great formation.

Within this great formation, everything was yellowish and hazy, with streaks of yellow sand covering the sky, dust flying and churning. Guang Chengzi felt as if his magical power was being suppressed under a towering mountain, making its circulation extremely difficult and sluggish, and hard to control.

He tried to reach out and pinch a grain of yellow sand, but the sand exploded the moment it touched his hand, turning into billowing yellow smoke that swept over him, covering his mouth and nose, and even trying to penetrate his body.

A purple flame spontaneously flew out from the Tushita Lamp, briefly burning Guang Chengzi's body and instantly incinerating the yellow smoke, thus removing the mask from his face.

"Could this be the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation? I think it should be called the Yellow Sand Formation."

Guang Chengzi tested the power of this great formation. Although it was not bad, it was only a matter of time before he could break it, so there was no need to worry about it.

However, he found it hard to believe that this great formation was the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, but upon closer inspection, it made sense. Now that the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron had been sealed inside the Jade Void Treasure Box, without the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron to suppress it, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation had naturally degenerated into the Yellow Sand Formation.

The three men were clearly aware of the situation, so they didn't linger in the fight. After trapping Guang Chengzi, they immediately fled, not even bothering with the array diagram, and vanished into the distance.

These three were formed from the essence of wind and clouds, and their speed of flight was even faster than that of birds like the Winged Immortal. They disappeared without a trace in just a few moments, which suggests that they had also used the cosmic light array.
