Eavesdropping on Heart's Voice, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword to Slay Dingguang Immortal at the Start

"Teacher, didn't you say your Dao heart was as stable as a rock and you weren't easily angered? You change your expression faster than flipping a book..."

Yunxiao glanced at Tongtian Cult Master, and said cautiously.

"Is that the same? That unfilial disciple... he, he, he is so brazen, he even dares to scheme against a Saint. No, this humble Taoist must bring him back. If I let him wander outside for a few more days, won't he poke a hole in the sky..."

Tongtian Cult Master was so angry his liver was about to explode, like a ferocious Mighty Lion, roaring repeatedly.

As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master reached out his large hand, preparing to capture Li Xiao.

But a strange thing happened. Tongtian Cult Master couldn't find Li Xiao's whereabouts.

It turned out that Li Xiao possessed the Chaos Bead, which could shield everything. Although Tongtian Cult Master was a Saint, he couldn't sense Li Xiao's location at all.

Tongtian Cult Master's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He looked at Yunxiao with an awkward expression and said, "Yunxiao, go and tell Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao. All of you, even if you have to tie him up, bring that unfilial disciple Li Xiao back to Biyou Palace for this humble Taoist!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Yunxiao quickly cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master, then retreated from Biyou Palace and rode the clouds straight to where Zhao Gongming and the others were.

Soon, Yunxiao caught up with Zhao Gongming and the others.

Zhao Gongming looked at Yunxiao and asked, "Junior Sister, what did Teacher say?"

"Teacher said we should bring Fifth Senior Brother back to Golden Ao Island!"

Yunxiao said with a wry smile.

Zhao Gongming nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Li Xiao's courage is too great. Who knows what trouble he'll cause out there. Teacher is truly wise!"

"It's just, Eldest Sister, Senior Brother is such a unique person, will he listen to us and obediently return to Golden Ao Island with us?"

Qiongxiao hesitated for a moment, then voiced the crux of the problem.

Yunxiao looked at the three of them and said with a wry smile, "Teacher said that even if we have to tie him up, we must bring Fifth Senior Brother back to Biyou Palace today!"

"Oh, that makes things easier!"

Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Immediately, the four of them revealed their true forms and went to see Li Xiao.

"Junior Brother Gongming, the three Junior Sisters, aren't you tired from following me all this way?"

Li Xiao looked at the four of them and said with a smile.

"We are tired, Fifth Senior Brother. We are truly mentally exhausted. Following you all this way has been nerve-wracking and filled with fear. So, please, Fifth Senior Brother, come back to Biyou Palace with us. Teacher has invited you!"

Zhao Gongming looked at Li Xiao with a helpless expression and said with a wry smile.

Zhao Gongming felt a sense of relief now.

Li Xiao was stunned. He looked at Zhao Gongming and the three Xiao sisters and pouted, "I'm not going back, not going back. Teacher is too scary..."

"Fifth Senior Brother, Teacher said that even if we have to tie you up, we must bring you back to Biyou Palace today!"

Qiongxiao said at the opportune moment.

"Uh? Alright, I'll go back, I'll go back to Biyou Palace, is that okay!"

Li Xiao, adhering to the principle of a wise man not fighting a battle he can't win, reluctantly agreed.

Although he had broken through continuously and had already reached the True Immortal realm, compared to Zhao Gongming and the three Xiao sisters, his cultivation was still vastly inferior. It would be impossible to escape from the four of them.

Therefore, Li Xiao chose to obediently return to Biyou Palace with the four.

Under the "escort" of Zhao Gongming and the three Xiao sisters, Li Xiao finally returned to Golden Ao Island.

When they reached the entrance of Biyou Palace, Li Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Mustering his courage, he cupped his hands towards Biyou Palace and said, "Teacher, your disciple Li Xiao requests an audience!"

"Unfilial disciple, so you know how to come back? Get in here for this humble Taoist!"

From within Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master's roars could be heard.

Li Xiao's old face twitched violently. He instinctively turned to run, but he managed to restrain himself.

After all, he was already at the entrance of Biyou Palace. How could he possibly escape?

Helplessly, Li Xiao could only brace himself, push open the door, and walk into Biyou Palace...

Chapter 23 Li Xiao's Fallacy, Tongtian Explodes

"Disciple pays respects to Teacher!"

Li Xiao cautiously walked into Biyou Palace. He saw Tongtian Cult Master, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, sitting on a cloud bed. He shivered all over and hurriedly cupped his hands to pay his respects to Tongtian Cult Master.

"Unfilial disciple, unfilial disciple, so you know how to come back?"

Tongtian Cult Master, transformed into a roaring emperor, unleashed the anger he had bottled up within him at this moment, roaring to his heart's content.

"I didn't want to come back. It was Teacher who sent people to tie me back..."

Li Xiao muttered softly, enduring the onslaught of Tongtian Cult Master's roars.

However, as a Saint, Tongtian Cult Master had sharp ears and keen senses. No matter how quietly Li Xiao spoke, he could hear him.

In an instant, Tongtian Cult Master exploded. His eyes turned red as he glared at Li Xiao, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Unfilial disciple, unfilial disciple, what did you say?"

As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master, unable to contain his anger, took off a shoe and hurled it at Li Xiao's face.

Li Xiao jumped in fright and quickly dodged, hastily cupping his hands to Tongtian Cult Master. "Teacher, I said you are dashing, handsome, and look like a young man. You are magnanimous and definitely won't hold it against me..."

Tongtian Cult Master took off his other shoe, intending to throw it at Li Xiao. Hearing Li Xiao's words, he froze with his hand raised, then put the shoe down with forced anger. He looked at Li Xiao unhappily and roared, "Rebellious disciple, tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Li Xiao looked up at Tongtian Cult Master, feigning an innocent expression. "Teacher, True Person Huanglong taunted me when we met, so of course I had to retort. This not only brings me face, but also brings you face, Teacher. Think about it, that second martial uncle has always looked down on our Intercepting Sect, and those people from the Heavenly Origin Sect look down on us too. At a time like this, how could I show weakness? Teacher, don't you agree?"

Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently as he listened. He looked at Li Xiao and said, "It seems what you said is also right..."

"Exactly, I really didn't do anything wrong!"

Li Xiao clapped his hands, as if to echo Tongtian Cult Master's agreement with his point. He looked at Tongtian Cult Master and continued to steer the conversation. "As for Guangchengzi and Chijingzi, it's the same principle. They from the Heavenly Origin Sect look down on our Intercepting Sect, so we should snatch their opportunities, trick them, and infuriate them! Teacher, am I right?"

"It seems so!"

Tongtian Cult Master pondered and nodded again.

"Slap..."

Li Xiao clapped his hands and looked at Tongtian Cult Master. "Exactly, Teacher. Since what I did was right, I'll take my leave now. You be busy, Teacher, you be busy..."

With that, Li Xiao turned and walked out of Biyou Palace.

"Rebellious disciple, you scoundrel, how dare you mislead this humble Taoist, get back here!"

Just then, Tongtian Cult Master's roar echoed from behind Li Xiao.

Li Xiao grinned, turned to look at Tongtian Cult Master, and said with a fawning smile, "Teacher, is there something else?"

Tongtian Cult Master glared at Li Xiao with his dark, old face, furious. "Rebellious disciple, how dare you confuse right and wrong and mislead this humble Taoist? Your courage is too great, you, you, you..."

"It was you, Teacher, who said I did the right thing..."

Li Xiao looked at Tongtian Cult Master with a guilty conscience, cautiously saying.

"Scoundrel, rebellious disciple, you... you're going to anger this humble Taoist to death!"

Tongtian Cult Master was furious, his eyes red, glaring at Li Xiao. He picked up the shoe beside him and threw it at Li Xiao again.

Li Xiao jumped in fright but was prepared. He flickered his body and jumped to the side, successfully dodging the shoe once more.

Tongtian Cult Master became even angrier, roaring, "Rebellious disciple, you..."

"Teacher, please calm your anger. Disciple was wrong, wrong..."

Seeing that misleading Tongtian Cult Master wasn't working, Li Xiao hastily admitted his mistake to Tongtian Cult Master, looking pitiful. If others didn't know, they would think Tongtian Cult Master was bullying Li Xiao.

Seeing Li Xiao's appearance, Tongtian Cult Master became even more enraged. His nose was almost crooked with anger, his beard twitched wildly, and he roared, "Rebellious disciple, don't look at this humble Taoist with that pitiful expression. This humble Taoist isn't falling for it. This humble Taoist said, why did you carve words in the Nuwa Temple? You, you, you... Don't you know that Saints cannot be desecrated? You... Your courage is too great. If this humble Taoist doesn't teach you a lesson today, won't you be able to poke a hole in the sky in the future? You..."

"Teacher, carving words in Empress Nuwa's temple was also something I couldn't help but do. Only by doing so could I frame Chijingzi and kill that scoundrel Chijingzi. Who told him to look down on this disciple..."

Li Xiao quickly explained.

"Scoundrel, you... you still have the nerve to justify yourself? If Empress Nuwa finds out about this, do you know the consequences? You, you, you... How did this humble Taoist end up with such a rebellious disciple? You, you, you... you're going to anger this humble Taoist to death, you..."

Tongtian Cult Master was so angry he couldn't catch his breath. He reached for his shoes, but he had already thrown both of them away. He became even more frantic with anger.

"Teacher, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know. Oh, of course, Junior Brother Zhao Gongming and Junior Sister San Xiao also know. As long as we don't say anything, Empress Nuwa won't know..."

Li Xiao said guiltily to Tongtian Cult Master.

"Scoundrel, you..."

Hearing this, Tongtian Cult Master was so angry his three corpses leaped out, divine light erupted from behind his head, and his liver almost exploded. His eyes red, he roared, "You, you, you, you..."

However, Tongtian Cult Master "you-ed" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence. Well, of course, he was so angered by Li Xiao that his tongue was twisted and his mind went blank, leaving him speechless.

"Teacher, if this disciple wants to kill Chijingzi, naturally I have to go all out. This naturally involves taking some risks. The greater the risk, the greater the reward..."

Li Xiao continued to expound his twisted logic.

"Rebellious disciple, kneel!"

Tongtian Cult Master exploded. With a whoosh, he stood up from his Qingyun, suppressing the urge to slap Li Xiao to death, and roared.

"Teacher, this disciple is already kneeling..."

Li Xiao looked up at Tongtian Cult Master with a bewildered expression.

"You..."

Tongtian Cult Master was confused by Li Xiao's words. His eyes red, he roared, "Rebellious disciple, you... do you know you were wrong? You... if you talk back again, and spout those twisted arguments of yours, this humble Taoist... This humble Taoist will throw you into the outhouse!"

"Teacher, this disciple knows he was wrong! Please calm your anger, Teacher..."

Hearing this, Li Xiao immediately cowered and hastily cupped his hands to Tongtian Cult Master.

No one knows a disciple better than a master, and no one knows a master better than a disciple!

Tongtian Cult Master understood Li Xiao too well, knowing that Li Xiao was aware Tongtian Cult Master wouldn't do anything to him. Thus, a flash of inspiration led him to the idea of throwing Li Xiao into the outhouse.

Indeed, it scared Li Xiao!

Li Xiao understood Tongtian Cult Master too well, knowing that Tongtian Cult Master wouldn't kill him, but in his rage, he might actually throw him into the outhouse. Therefore, he obediently admitted his mistake.

After all, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him!

Moreover, admitting a mistake to one's master wasn't a big deal. If things continued to drag on, it wouldn't be beneficial to him
