Duobao Betrays His Sect
"Rebellion against the Interception Sect?"
Looking at his familiar junior brothers and sisters and listening to their questions, Daoist Duobao seemed somewhat dazed.
Memories of the past resurfaced in his mind, but these memories gradually faded away when he realized that his fellow disciples were led by Yunxiao.
"If you say so, then so be it. I'm just taking these junior brothers and sisters to find another way to advance further."
"Find another way out?" The Wudang Holy Mother could hardly believe what she was hearing. You must know that Daoist Duobao was the first disciple accepted by their master, their eldest brother, and had always served their master!
"Duobao! Your master has always treated you well. Aren't you afraid of the karmic retribution that will shatter your Dao Heart in the future?"
Yunxiao couldn't help but step forward and directly question Duobao.
"Have you treated me well?" When Daoist Duobao saw Yunxiao step forward and say this, he was so angry that he laughed.
"Yes, Master has indeed treated me well in the past, but what about now?"
"The Investiture of the Gods Calamity only allowed the Three Xiao of Sanxiao to participate, and all that immense Merit was monopolized by the three of you. The four siblings of one island, one Quasi-Sage and three Great Luo, how arrogant and domineering you are, aren't you?"
"With so many people supporting you now, as the only Quasi-Sage among the second-generation disciples of the Mystic Sect, you must be feeling quite good as the senior sister, right?"
As he spoke, Daoist Duobao turned to look at his disciples who were following him, and suddenly laughed.
"Do you know why I was able to persuade these junior brothers so easily? Because they have all seen what the Interception Sect is like now."
"Alright, don't try to persuade me anymore. My purpose in going to the Western Paradise to establish Buddhist Sect is to attain the Quasi-Sage. They follow me, also vying for the opportunity to attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit."
"If you continue to obstruct me now, you will be the enemy of blocking my path."
Duobao's tone was chilling, filled with murderous intent.
But the disciples before Duobao at this moment were either hot-tempered individuals like Wudang Holy Mother and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, or those who possessed Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, such as the Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming.
How could they easily let Duobao go just because Duobao had blocked their way?
"What a grudge against those who blocked my path! Duobao, I'll only say one thing today: if you dare to lead them away, then even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will surely kill you!"
Yunxiao slowly summoned the Primordial Golden Dou, his tone chilling, and a murderous intent flashed forth.
Behind Daoist Duobao, many disciples sensed the overwhelming killing intent and hesitated.
"We share the same view."
The Wudang Holy Mother, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, Zhao Gongming, and others also unleashed their own magical treasures. After their attempts to persuade them failed, they prepared to resort to force.
Looking at the situation before him, Daoist Duobao was not afraid.
Having received assurances from Zhunti and Jieyin, and knowing that he had four Sage backing him up, he had no fear of his former junior brothers and sisters.
Daoist Duobao had actually been waiting for his master, Tongtian, to appear.
Whether or not they can leave the Interception Sect and the East Sea ultimately depends on whether Tongtian will release them.
Seeing that Yunxiao still showed no remorse despite them having already taken out their respective magical treasures and preparing to use force, Duobao and the others were enraged and prepared to attack.
But just as tensions were rising, the voice of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"Since Duobao Nephew Duobao has voluntarily left the Interception Sect in pursuit of the Great Dao, why should you, his fellow disciples, hinder his desire for enlightenment?"
"The desire to seek the truth should not be hindered, Tongtian, what do you say?"
The figure of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable slowly appeared in front of Duobao. With just a few words, he made the Wudang Holy Mother, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and others put down the spiritual treasures they were holding.
These magical treasures are quite powerful. If they were to unleash them, Duobao might not be affected, but most of the Jie Sect Disciple that Duobao had painstakingly won over would likely be killed or injured.
"Haha, what a fine saying, 'The desire to seek the truth should not be hindered.'"
In an instant Tongtian's figure appeared before the Wudang Holy Mother, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and others.
When Tongtian appeared, his Qingping Sword was already unsheathed.
The moment it appeared, the Qingping Sword slashed towards the sky.
Zhunti and Jieyin were forced to dodge this extremely powerful sword energy, and their figures were revealed.
"You two really are like rats crossing the street, always resorting to underhanded tricks and schemes."
"Why, seeing that they can't defeat the Human Race and can't recruit disciples, do they set their sights on other people's disciples?"
Tongtian looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with a cold expression and said sarcastically without any mercy.
Seeing this, Zhunti and Jieyin were at a loss for words, after all, the witnesses and evidence were right in front of them, so the two of them decisively chose to remain silent.
Seeing that Zhunti and Jieyin did not reply, Tongtian turned his gaze to Daoist Duobao and Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
Tongtian looked at Daoist Duobao, his expression becoming complicated, a hint of melancholy flashing across his face, but it disappeared in an instant and was well hidden by Tongtian.
He truly cared about Duobao, but he never expected Duobao's obsession with becoming Quasi-Sage to be so strong.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Secrets originally set by Hongjun appeared Heavenly Eyes.
Interception Sect, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was defeated. Of its four disciples, only Wudang was Wudang. Yunxiao was suppressed on Qilin Cliff, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother died, and Duobao was taken to the Western Paradise by Laozi.
As for the other disciples, some died and some were injured, and the rest became the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests of the Western Teachings.
Although Duobao has not been suppressed by Laozi, he is going to the Western Paradise in order to become Quasi-Sage.
As for the disciples behind Duobao, Tongtian glanced at them and discovered that they were all originally among the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests mortals within the Heavenly Secrets.
Is this truly Heavenly Mandate?
Tongtian looked momentarily confused, but he quickly recovered.
He has already broken the Heavenly Mandate of that day. The current Interception Sect, having not experienced the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, is already different from the dilapidated sect within that Heavenly Secrets.
Now that these bad apples are ready to leave, let them go.
Tongtian acted on his impulse, reaching out and summoning the Innate Spiritual Treasures he had previously bestowed upon Duobao and the others.
"Since you don't want to be Jie Sect Disciple, then get out of here."
"Never again shall you appear in the East Sea, nor shall you ever again use the name of Jie Sect Disciple, or my Qingping Sword will surely slay you without mercy!"
Tongtian then led the many spiritual treasures he possessed, along with Wudang Holy Mother, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, the Three Xiao, and others, back to Jin'ao Island.
Upon returning to Jin'ao Island, the Wudang Holy Mother, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and others immediately stated that they would not let Duobao and the others off the hook if they met again in the future.
Among them, the Ten Heavenly Lords and Bixiao, who are straightforward in nature, even said that they would go to the Western Paradise to set up the Ten Absolute Arrays and Western Teachings a good lesson.
Tongtian looked at his indignant disciples below him and fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
In fact, the current ending is far better than the final scene seen in the Heavenly Secrets.
However, recalling Duobao's departure and the fate of the Interception Sect within that Heavenly Secrets, Tongtian slowly raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Zixiao Palace, his eyes filled with killing intent.
