Chapter 22 [The Grand Ceremony Begins, the Chan Sect Goes Berserk]
At this moment, the grand ceremony of the three religions has begun.
Tongtian sat high on the altar, his eyes showing no interest whatsoever.
In general, when a grand ceremony begins, all races compete first. Since their cultivation levels are low, they are merely there to serve as supporting characters.
But at that very moment...
suddenly!
He suddenly sensed that something was amiss on Jin'ao Island!
Yunxiao actually showed up!
He frowned slightly and said to the Taoist Duobao behind him, "Duobao, you will be in charge of presiding over this Three Religions Grand Ceremony."
"I have some things to take care of."
Without waiting for Duobao to react, he waved his sleeve and disappeared into Shouyang Mountain.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Daoist Duobao was completely bewildered.
The three of them were originally from the Jie Sect.
Now that Zhao Gongming is protecting the three holy children of the Jie Sect, and his master has suddenly left, he is the only one left in this huge Jie Sect teaching position.
At that moment, a figure flashed by and landed beside him.
"Senior Brother!"
Seeing Zhao Gongming return, Daoist Duobao felt somewhat relieved: "Junior brother, you're finally back."
"Where is the Holy Child?"
Zhao Gongming's face was gloomy, but he said helplessly, "Senior Brother."
"Where is Master?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to handle this."
"Um?"
Daoist Duobao frowned, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.
"Could it be that something happened to the holy child?"
"Master just left, saying he had some things to deal with. They must be very serious. But the Holy Child is also of great importance. You might as well speak frankly."
Seeing Zhao Gongming hesitate, Daoist Duobao grew impatient.
"Why----"
Zhao Gongming sighed and then told Duobao Daoist everything the three mischievous children had done.
At this moment, it was clear that the face of Daoist Duobao, which had just relaxed, instantly turned gloomy, followed by shock!
The final astonishment!
"This...this..."
"What on earth is going on?!"
He looked helpless, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down.
Immediately, he whispered to Zhao Gongming, "Junior Brother Gongming, we must remain steadfast in our resolve. This matter will likely be exposed soon; we must stall until Master returns!"
"That's all we can do."
Zhao Gongming gave a wry smile and shook his head.
After an unknown amount of time, the three mischievous children swaggered into the Chongdan Hall.
They were unaware that Daoist Duobao had already registered them, so they simply found a seat and sat down to watch the competition.
The three were still enjoying themselves, especially Su Chen, who licked his lips, looked towards the distant Taiqing Palace, and grinned, "Hehe!"
"Big sister, second sister, there are so many good things in this little back mountain."
"What do you think would happen if we destroyed the Taiqing Palace?"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yi covered his mouth: "Are you looking for death?!"
"There are at least four Sages present in this Eight Views Palace right now. Father said that when a Sage is angry, all living beings are annihilated. If that old man Taiqing finds out we destroyed the back mountain, we..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Rou covered her mouth.
"."
"You two should talk less."
And so, amidst some playful banter, the three of them sat down and began to read the Great Canon of the Three Religions.
Of course, the battle between low-level immortals was too embarrassing to watch, and the three of them had no interest in it.
Su Rou rested her chin on her hand, looking around.
"This is so boring. Let's go. Anyway, with the Dragon Binding Rope, we can enter Jin'ao Island without any problems."
This statement was met with unanimous agreement from both of them.
But just as the two were about to leave...
suddenly!
After the match concluded, a young Taoist disciple began to announce: "In this match, the White Crane Child of the Chan Sect wins!"
Immediately, a murmur rippled through the crowd.
"It seems the Chan Sect was prepared this time! That White Crane Boy has gone berserk!"
"A twelve-game winning streak! Truly, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal is invincible!"
"Even the White Crane Boy is this powerful; his master, the Antarctic Immortal, has a very good chance of winning this year's Three Religions Grand Ceremony!"
"."
The three listened to the others praising the Chan Sect, and they all looked disdainful.
After all, what happened to the Chan Sect was none of their business; what they really cared about was how to rescue their mother.
With that in mind, the three of them decided not to linger and immediately set off.
But at that very moment...
suddenly!
The boy then announced again, "Now, please welcome the Holy Child of the Intercepting Sect to the stage to compete against the White Crane Boy!"
"Buzz—"
The divine music resounded, drawing everyone's attention.
The Chan Sect produced a White Crane Boy, who displayed great ambitions and was quite impressive.
Now, the Jie Sect has also produced a Holy Child?
It seems the Chan and Jie schools are really going head-to-head!
Just as everyone was eager to witness the brilliance of the Holy Child of the Intercepting Sect, Su Rou and her two companions stopped and sat down again, looking at the scene with great interest.
Su Rou laughed, "So, even the old man Tongtian was prepared!"
"I'm more curious to see just who this holy child is."
Su Yi and Su Chen nodded.
"Yes! That White Crane Boy is far too arrogant. Fighting him always results in broken arms or legs. While he doesn't kill, his methods are utterly despicable. I even want to personally go up and beat him up!"
"There's nothing we can do about it! We missed the registration deadline, so we can only see if this Holy Child of the Jie Sect can teach him a lesson."
"."
The three were filled with anticipation.
But at that moment, the boy's gaze fell upon the three of them: "Holy Child Su Rou, why haven't you made your appearance yet?"
Immediately, all eyes turned to Su Rou.
"????"
Su Rou was stunned.
Su Chen, however, exclaimed excitedly, "Amazing! Big sister! I never imagined you would be the first to infiltrate the Jie Sect!"
"You're secretly up to something big!"
Su Yi smiled and said, "Yes, eldest sister, when did you become the Holy Child of the Jie Sect? If we had known you were the Holy Child of the Jie Sect, why would we have gone to so much trouble?"
At this moment, everyone was excited.
Only Su Rou looked completely bewildered.
"??????"
"No? I don't know either!"
Seeing Su Rou standing there in a daze, Daoist Duobao immediately flashed in front of the three and explained, "Fellow Daoists, it was Senior Tongtong who asked me to register you three."
"Of course, there must be a reason for registering."
"Therefore, Senior Tongtong has allowed you to bear the name of the Holy Child of the Jie Sect. Please forgive us."
His cheeks were slightly flushed.
This explanation is absolutely terrible.
Even he himself didn't believe it.
But just as he was at a loss and trying to find a better reason...
But Su Rou was already rubbing her hands together, eager to get started.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I see!"
"Thank you so much, Senior Tongtong!"
"I've disliked that White Crane Boy for a long time. Since that's the case, let me teach him a lesson!"
Having said that, Su Rou ignored Duobao Daoist's reaction and immediately leaped into the arena.
She was strikingly beautiful and naturally adorable, especially with her large, bright eyes that resembled black gemstones, which made her even more endearing.
But this very doll, upon its appearance, raised a finger and coldly said, "Hey!"
"White Crane Boy!"
"Today, I, the Holy Child, will teach you a lesson!!!"
