Immediately, Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, removed Kui Niu's six senses seal, and then had Kui Niu turn around and return to Golden Ao Island.

On Golden Ao Island, Duobao Daoist was methodically assigning tasks for the sect.

The Intercepting Sect held their First Senior Brother in high regard, with some disciples only knowing Duobao and not Tongtian Cult Master.

Just then, Tongtian Cult Master, riding Kui Niu, returned with Yunxiao.

Tongtian Cult Master saw this scene and immense rage surged within him, but he forcefully suppressed it.

Duobao Daoist was taken aback by Tongtian Cult Master's sudden return and quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Disciple Duobao greets Teacher!"

Tongtian Cult Master nodded expressionlessly.

Duobao Daoist looked up at Tongtian Cult Master, completely bewildered, and asked, "Teacher, weren't you going to Wuzhuang Temple? Why have you returned?"

Tongtian Cult Master's eyes flickered with sharp light as he looked at Duobao Daoist and said, "This humble Taoist suddenly sensed the Heavenly Dao and was eager to cultivate, so I returned!"

Duobao Daoist grinned and cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master, "Congratulations, Teacher!"

In the crowd, Li Xiao's eyes darted around, and he turned to leave.

"Li Xiao!"

Just then, Tongtian Cult Master's voice rang out.

Li Xiao rolled his eyes and had no choice but to turn and face Tongtian Cult Master, grinning, "Teacher, what do you need from this disciple?"

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Li Xiao and said, "This humble Taoist is going into seclusion to cultivate and cannot go to Wuzhuang Temple. Well, you will go in my stead!"

Everyone listened with a jolt and turned to look at Li Xiao with envy and jealousy.

After all, going to Wuzhuang Temple meant not only eating the legendary Ginseng Fruit but also listening to many powerful figures preach. They never expected Tongtian Cult Master to send Li Xiao.

This was clearly an attempt to benefit Li Xiao!

"Uh? This disciple goes? This... this isn't appropriate, is it? Besides, didn't Teacher say earlier that this disciple wasn't allowed to leave Golden Ao Island?"

However, Li Xiao said with some reluctance, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone.

What was going on?

Damn it!

You get to eat the legendary Ginseng Fruit and listen to many powerful figures preach, and this guy is unwilling to go?

Is he crazy!

The assembled immortals looked at Li Xiao in disbelief, suspecting his brain had short-circuited.

In reality, they just didn't understand the situation.

Although Ginseng Fruit was precious, Li Xiao had the Yellow Middle Plum, known as the king of fruits. As for the preaching of many powerful figures, how could it compare to Great God Pangu's Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts?

With that time, Li Xiao might as well have diligently cultivated the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts!

Besides, Li Xiao also had the Lazy Fish System!

What if he slacked off and was rewarded with some treasure? Wouldn't that be even better?

There was no need to go to Wuzhuang Temple and compete with those people for Ginseng Fruit!

Duobao Daoist was the first to recover. He took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master, and said, "Teacher, since Junior Brother Li Xiao is unwilling to go, why don't you let this disciple go? This disciple will definitely not bring shame upon you..."

Damn it!

You want to go?

If you go, eat the Ginseng Fruit, listen to the powerful figures preach, and your cultivation increases!

And then you'll betray the sect?

Am I that foolish?

Tongtian Cult Master thought bitterly. He looked at Duobao Daoist and said, "Duobao, this humble Taoist still relies on you for the sect's affairs. You should not go!"

Duobao Daoist's old face twitched severely, and he could only cup his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master and say, "Yes, Teacher!"

"Teacher, can this disciple not go?"

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment and cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian Cult Master was almost furious. He glared at Li Xiao and said sternly, "Hmph, you scoundrel, how dare you defy this humble Taoist's decree? If you don't go, I will fill the North Sea's eye with you!"

Damn it!

Treating me like Shen Gongbao!

Li Xiao shivered all over in fear and hastily cupped his hands towards Tongtian Cult Master, "Teacher, this disciple will go, alright!"

However, the tone of his voice made the disciples of the Intercepting Sect want to rise up and beat him.

We wanted to go but didn't even have the chance, and you, on the other hand, are making excuses and unwilling to go. You truly don't know what's good for you, it's infuriating!

Tongtian Cult Master nodded, then looked at Yunxiao and said, "Yunxiao, Li Xiao's cultivation is low and insufficient to protect himself. You should accompany him to Wuzhuang Temple."

Tongtian Cult Master sent Yunxiao to accompany Li Xiao to Wuzhuang Temple for two reasons!

First, to protect Li Xiao, and second, to allow Yunxiao to eavesdrop on Li Xiao's thoughts and gather useful information!

For example, news as important as today's, that Duobao is going to betray the sect, and the Intercepting Sect is going to be destroyed...

"Yes, Teacher!"

Yunxiao naturally understood the Tongtian Cult Master's meaning and cupped her hands towards him in a hurry.

Beside them, Li Xiao was naturally happy to oblige.

After all, with a beautiful girl for company, the journey wouldn't be lonely!

At the very least, it would be a feast for the eyes!

As for whether anything else would happen, well, that would depend on his own methods! Bah, I'm a decent person, what am I thinking?

However, I seem to be missing a Taoist companion. Yunxiao looks good and her cultivation is extremely high...

Chapter 26 The Blind Maitreya Buddha

Recently, Duobao Daoist has been quite depressed!

Ever since Tongtian Cult Master returned to Golden Ao Island after leaving and coming back, Duobao Daoist felt as if Tongtian Cult Master was deliberately distancing himself from him.

Not only did he let Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wudang Holy Mother, and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother take away his authority, but he also seemed to be subtly concealing things from Duobao Daoist regarding his lectures.

"What in the world is going on?"

On Duobao Peak, Duobao Daoist's expression was extremely grim as he muttered.

"Last time, it was Yunxiao who chased after Teacher. Could it be that Yunxiao spoke ill of me in front of Teacher? But that's impossible. Yunxiao and I have always had a very harmonious relationship, so there's no reason for her to speak ill of me..."

Duobao Daoist was also a bit bewildered.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao and Yunxiao were traveling rapidly through the clouds.

They finally arrived at Longevity Mountain!

The Longevity Mountain stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, filled with spiritual energy and beauty. Towering trees reached for the sky, divine peaks pierced the clouds, and auspicious rays of light flickered. Countless mythical beasts roamed and played in the mountains, making one involuntarily praise it as a true immortal dwelling.

The two continued to ride the clouds and finally arrived at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple.

At this moment, Qingfeng was already waiting at the temple entrance. He had been expecting Tongtian Cult Master to arrive, but instead, Li Xiao and Yunxiao appeared.

Qingfeng couldn't help but frown, looking at the two, he asked, "Where is the Saint Tongtian?"

"Teacher suddenly had something to attend to and couldn't come, so he sent us two!"

Li Xiao said, looking at Qingfeng.

"Follow me."

Qingfeng's face showed displeasure as he turned and walked towards Wuzhuang Temple, muttering as he went, "Another two who are just here to eat..."

Yunxiao heard this and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Although Tongtian Cult Master couldn't come, he sent his direct disciple Li Xiao and her, an elite disciple, to come. Who would have thought they would be called people who were just there to eat?

How could this not make her angry?

However, this was Zhenyuanzi the Great Immortal's dojo, and Yunxiao understood the rules. She didn't want to cause trouble for Tongtian Cult Master, so she suppressed the anger in her heart.

But while Yunxiao could suppress it, Li Xiao was not someone who feared trouble!

Upon hearing the words of the Taoist boy Qingfeng, Li Xiao immediately became furious. He let out a roar and kicked Qingfeng in the backside, sending him flying forward. His face slid across the ground for several dozen feet, carving a deep gully into the earth.

"Who do you think you are, to dare scold us?"

Li Xiao pointed at Qingfeng and cursed loudly.

This was during the Witch-Demon Tribulation. Qingfeng was already following Zhenyuanzi the Great Immortal at this time!

From the Witch-Demon Tribulation to the Journey to the West Tribulation, countless years passed. Even a pig following Zhenyuanzi the Great Immortal would have attained enlightenment, yet these two, Qingfeng and Mingyue, were easily defeated by the Monkey King during the Journey to the West Tribulation!

This showed that their talent was truly not great!

Yet, such a Taoist boy dared to look down on Li Xiao, it was no wonder Li Xiao was enraged!

Qingfeng did not expect Li Xiao to dare to act within Wuzhuang Temple. He jumped up, looking at Li Xiao with shock and anger, and said furiously, "You... you dare to act within my Wuzhuang Temple?"

Just then, another Taoist boy flew over and asked, "Qingfeng, what happened?"

"Mingyue, this person actually dared to act within my Wuzhuang Temple!"

Qingfeng pointed at Li Xiao and shouted.

"Presumptuous! You dare to act within Wuzhuang Temple, you are truly seeking death!"

Mingyue was furious upon hearing this and pointed at Li Xiao, shouting.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, revealing a whip, and flicked it towards Li Xiao.

"You scoundrel!"

Li Xiao was enraged. He shook his arms, and the sound of surging waves erupted behind him. Thirty-six pale blue beads whizzed out, emitting boundless light, and slammed fiercely towards Qingfeng and Mingyue.

"Ah..."
