Primordial Heavenly Venerate waved his large sleeve, swept up Chijingzi, and vanished into the void, returning to Mount Kunlun.

The next moment, the two appeared within Mount Kunlun.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate, his old face grim, looked at Chijingzi and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, rebellious disciple, what happened?"

Chijingzi felt like crying but had no tears. He quickly recounted the events that had transpired.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's brow furrowed deeply. He extended his hand to perform a divination, but the Heavenly Secrets were a complete chaos. He couldn't divine even a single thread of information.

After a moment, Primordial Heavenly Venerate opened his eyes and looked at Chijingzi, saying in a deep voice, "Hmph, rebellious disciple, you truly have the audacity of a lecher. You only know how to cause trouble for this humble Taoist!"

As he spoke, Primordial Heavenly Venerate became furious. He waved his large sleeve, and a surge of violent magical power erupted, sending Chijingzi tumbling backward, crashing into and collapsing a pavilion behind him.

Debris flew everywhere, and broken walls scattered.

"Hmph!"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate, his old face ashen, turned and returned to Jade Void Palace.

After Primordial Heavenly Venerate left, the Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect stepped forward and, with much effort, pulled Chijingzi out of the ruins.

Poor Chijingzi was in tatters, his face deathly pale, and he was vomiting blood uncontrollably.

Guangchengzi grimaced inwardly at the sight. He quickly fumbled in his robes, produced a jade bottle, poured out a pill, and administered it to Chijingzi.

Only then did Chijingzi's injuries begin to improve.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Chijingzi said weakly.

Guangchengzi looked at Chijingzi with a helpless expression and asked with a grin, "Junior Brother Chijingzi, what did you do to anger the Teacher so much?"

Chijingzi recounted the events at the Nuwa Temple.

Guangchengzi and the others listened, dumbfounded.

Guangchengzi hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Junior Brother, did you carve the poem in the Nuwa Temple?"

Chijingzi forced a bitter smile and said urgently, "Senior Brother, even if I had the courage of a thousand men, I wouldn't dare to desecrate Empress Nuwa! This... this I truly don't know how it happened!"

Guangchengzi nodded as he listened, then, as if by some strange impulse, asked, "Junior Brother Chijingzi, did you happen to see Junior Brother Yellow Dragon before this?"

Chijingzi blinked in surprise and nodded, "Yes, before this, I did indeed see Junior Brother Yellow Dragon. But... but what does this have to do with Junior Brother Yellow Dragon?"

The Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect were also puzzled, not understanding why Guangchengzi had suddenly mentioned True Person Huanglong.

Guangchengzi hesitated for a moment and then recounted what had happened to him earlier.

The Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect listened, dumbfounded and exclaiming in shock.

"One meeting with Yellow Dragon brings three years of bad luck!"

Guangchengzi said with a wry smile.

"Uh? There's such a thing?"

Chijingzi's old face twitched violently, and he exclaimed.

At this moment, he too felt a flicker of doubt. Could it be that because he had met True Person Huanglong, he had encountered such misfortune at the Nuwa Temple?

Just then, a streak of light shot over.

As the light faded, a figure appeared. This person was none other than True Person Huanglong, who had come to Mount Kunlun to listen to the teachings.

"All my Senior and Junior Brothers are here. Oh? Senior Brother Chijingzi, what... what happened to you?"

True Person Huanglong greeted the Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect enthusiastically, then noticed the injured Chijingzi and asked.

As he spoke, True Person Huanglong strode towards them.

"You... Junior Brother Yellow Dragon, don't come any closer!"

Chijingzi was startled and shouted in alarm.

With the saying "One meeting with Yellow Dragon brings three years of bad luck," he didn't want to tempt fate again and encounter another incident like the one at the Nuwa Temple.

It wasn't just Chijingzi. Immortal Elder Nanji, Guangchengzi, and the other Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect were all startled when they saw True Person Huanglong approaching them and instinctively retreated.

Although the incidents that Guangchengzi and Chijingzi had encountered were indeed somewhat bizarre!

The crucial thing was, they were also afraid!

The Immortals couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension!

"All my Senior and Junior Brothers, what happened? Why are you..."

True Person Huanglong frowned, looking at the Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, and asked in confusion.

"Uh... it's nothing. It's time for the Teacher to give his sermon. Let's go to Jade Void Palace to listen!"

Immortal Elder Nanji was extremely awkward. He quickly got up and practically fled towards Jade Void Palace.

The Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect also got up and headed for Jade Void Palace.

However, they looked at True Person Huanglong with strange expressions.

"Senior Brother, 'One meeting with Yellow Dragon brings three years of bad luck.' Is that really true?"

True Person Cihang quietly asked Heavenly Venerate Manjushri.

"This... This humble Taoist doesn't know either..."

Heavenly Venerate Manjushri bared his teeth, glanced back at True Person Huanglong, and pulling True Person Cihang, hurried towards Jade Void Palace.

Although True Person Cihang's voice was very soft, True Person Huanglong's senses were sharp, and he heard it clearly. He couldn't help but tremble with anger, his whole being in disarray.

"Damn it, who is trying to frame this humble Taoist? This..."

True Person Huanglong was on the verge of collapse.

This feeling of being ostracized by all the immortals made True Person Huanglong nearly go mad.

He had achieved enlightenment through unconventional means and was already disliked by everyone in the Heavenly Origin Sect, even by Primordial Heavenly Venerate. He had tried very hard to fit into the Heavenly Origin Sect's circle.

Over the years, he had made considerable progress!

Just as the attitude of the Heavenly Origin Sect's immortals towards him was improving, who would have thought such a thing would happen!

This made True Person Huanglong furious!

But anger aside, there was nothing he could do. True Person Huanglong could only forcibly suppress the rage in his heart and walk into Jade Void Palace.

His true form was a yellow dragon. Even among dragons, he was a humble existence. But since he joined the Heavenly Origin Sect, he could stand on equal footing with the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and be respected.

He did not want to lose this honor!

Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he could only try his best to squeeze into the Heavenly Origin Sect's circle!

On the other side, although Li Xiao did not have the pleasure of seeing Chijingzi and True Person Huanglong suffer misfortune, he could imagine the events that would unfold afterward.

The thought of Chijingzi being punished by Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Empress Nuwa, and True Person Huanglong taking the blame, made him so excited that he couldn't help but let out another cackle.

Meanwhile, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters had witnessed the entire event from the shadows.

The four of them had broken out in a cold sweat from Li Xiao's audacious move!

Li Xiao's courage was too immense. He dared to scheme against Empress Nuwa and involve a Saint. If Empress Nuwa knew the whole story, wouldn't she be so angry that she would attack Golden Ao Island?

Chapter 22: Tongtian Cult Master's Face-Changing Technique

After much deliberation, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters decided that Yunxiao would return to Biyou Palace to inform Tongtian Cult Master of what had happened today.

After all, Li Xiao had even dared to scheme against Empress Nuwa!

If they let Li Xiao roam freely in the Primordial World, who knew what would happen next.

Yunxiao rode the clouds at high speed towards Golden Ao Island.

Upon entering Biyou Palace, Yunxiao cupped his hands and said, "Disciple greets Teacher!"

Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, set up numerous restrictions, and looked at Yunxiao with a smile, saying, "Yunxiao, has something else happened?"

Yunxiao recounted how Li Xiao had tricked Guangchengzi and True Person Huanglong in recent days.

Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently. He chuckled and said, "This humble Taoist was worried that this rebellious disciple would suffer losses outside. It seems this humble Taoist worried too much. This humble Taoist should be worried about others instead!"

"However, did that rebellious disciple really obtain the legendary Yellow Middle Plum?"

Tongtian Cult Master asked.

Yunxiao nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher. Fifth Senior Brother did indeed find the legendary Yellow Middle Plum!"

"Excellent, excellent! As expected of my disciple, Tongtian! He has seized this great fortune!"

Tongtian Cult Master stroked his long beard, his face glowing with joy.

The Yellow Middle Plum was known as the king of all fruits. If the Heavenly Origin Sect had obtained it, their disciples' cultivation would have greatly increased, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate would surely have gloated before him.

Now that Li Xiao had snatched the Yellow Middle Plum from Guangchengzi, the situation was completely different!

Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Teacher, Disciple... Disciple heard Fifth Senior Brother's thoughts. He said... he said that during the Investiture of the Gods War, True Person Huanglong would always be at the forefront, that he would be an enemy of our Intercepting Sect..."

"Investiture of the Gods War?"

Tongtian Cult Master raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his expression instantly turned extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, "Hmph, it seems that a battle between our Intercepting Sect and the Heavenly Origin Sect is inevitable in the future. This humble Taoist must prepare early..."

He paused, then looked at Yunxiao and continued to ask, "Yunxiao, is there anything else?"

"Teacher, that... that what happened next, please do not be angry, Teacher..."

Yunxiao hesitated for a moment, intending to reassure Tongtian Cult Master first.

Tongtian Cult Master became even more curious. He looked at Yunxiao and said with a smile, "Yunxiao, my disciple, this humble Taoist has cultivated for countless years. My Taoist heart is already as firm as a rock. How can it be so easily shaken or angered..."

"Teacher, haven't you gotten angry quite a few times already..."

Of course, Yunxiao dared not say this directly. It was just a thought in his mind.

Yunxiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master, took a deep breath, and recounted how Li Xiao had inscribed poems in the Nuwa Temple and how he had tricked Chijingzi and True Person Huanglong.

Tongtian Cult Master's expression changed continuously as Yunxiao spoke.

By the end, Tongtian Cult Master's old face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He trembled with rage, his surrounding mystic light surged erratically, and with bloodshot eyes, he roared, "Rebellious disciple, rebellious disciple, this rebellious disciple's audacity is simply too great, rebellious disciple..."
