Shameless Yuanshi! Tongtian Unleashes the Zhuxian Formation / What? Patriarch Hongyun Is Going to Die?

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

All the Saints turned their gazes toward Tongtian Cult Master once more.

Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate in particular looked at Tongtian Cult Master differently.

They had spent the longest time discussing the Dao with Tongtian Cult Master, yet they had never discovered that he knew the complete Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. Tongtian Cult Master had hidden himself deeply indeed.

"Um... this humble Taoist has matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first!"

Tongtian Cult Master's old face twitched violently. He turned to Li Xiao and snapped, "You unfilial disciple, why aren't you returning to Golden Ao Island with me?"

"Master, please wait!"

Li Xiao stopped Tongtian Cult Master, then turned to Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi. With a flick of his hand, he produced a golden-yellow fruit—the Yellow Middle Plum, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. He held it up with magical power and offered it to Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi. "Great Immortal, thank you for your hospitality. Please accept this fruit as my apology."

"Th-this is a Yellow Middle Plum?"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi stared incredulously at the fruit before him, which brimmed with extraordinary spiritual power, and cried out in shock.

"A Yellow Middle Plum?"

All the Saints likewise turned their eyes toward the fruit in Zhenyuanzi's hand, then stiffly twisted their necks to look at Li Xiao.

At the side, Tongtian Cult Master was so furious that he nearly jumped in rage. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Unfilial disciple, unfilial disciple! You... are you trying to anger me to death?"

Revealing the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts was not enough; he had even revealed the Yellow Middle Plum!

Clearly, Li Xiao had tossed every word he had said straight into the clouds.

Earlier, when Qingfeng and Mingyue told Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi that Li Xiao had not wanted to come to Wuzhuang Temple, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi had thought Li Xiao was merely putting on airs.

But now it seemed that he truly had not wanted to come to Wuzhuang Temple!

When it came to Dao arts and divine abilities, he knew the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts. When it came to spiritual fruits, he possessed Yellow Middle Plums, whose effects were incomparably greater than Ginseng Fruit. There truly was little benefit for him in coming to Wuzhuang Temple...

Shameless Yuanshi, Tongtian Furiously Sets Up the Immortal Slaying Formation

"Little Friend Li Xiao, this... this Yellow Middle Plum is far too precious. This humble Taoist truly does not deserve to accept it!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was an honest man who did not accept unearned gifts. He hurriedly cupped his hands toward Li Xiao.

Li Xiao returned the gesture. "Great Immortal, this humble Taoist has troubled you for many days, and I even struck your Daoist boys earlier. I truly feel ashamed. If you refuse to accept this fruit, I would feel even more uneasy."

"Very well, then. Since that is the case, this humble Taoist shall accept it!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi smiled wryly, then turned to Qingfeng and Mingyue. "Qingfeng, Mingyue, quickly fetch ten fruits for Little Friend Li Xiao to take with him!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two were shocked, but they did not dare disobey. They hurriedly turned and went to pick Ginseng Fruit.

After a while, Qingfeng and Mingyue returned. Qingfeng carried a tray holding ten Ginseng Fruit and lowered his head to Li Xiao. "Immortal, please accept them!"

At this point, Qingfeng had realized the gap between himself and Li Xiao. Before Li Xiao, he was not even worth a fart!

Li Xiao swept his sleeve and accepted the Ginseng Fruit. He cupped his hands toward Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi. "Then many thanks, Great Immortal!"

"You are too courteous, little friend. In the end, this humble Taoist is the one who has gained the advantage!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi said with a wry smile.

Li Xiao nodded and chuckled softly.

His actions this time were simply meant to befriend Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi!

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was one of the rare blessed and virtuous true immortals in the Primordial World. His fortune and lifespan were boundless, and his cultivation was immensely profound. In the future, he would surely be a great aid to the Jie Sect.

At the side, Old Ancestor Hongyun watched in stunned silence. He opened his mouth, then closed it again without saying a word.

As it turned out, Old Ancestor Hongyun had been born with a craving for food. He had wanted to shamelessly ask Li Xiao for a Yellow Middle Plum to eat, but then he remembered how precious they were and held his tongue.

Fine, fine. It's just a fruit. I'll give Red Cloud one, then. It can count as his last meal before the beheading!

Speaking of which, after Red Cloud dies, what will happen to the Primordial Violet Qi?

Should I report to Master in advance and have him seize the Primordial Violet Qi?

Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts.

"What? Old Ancestor Hongyun will die?"

Yunxiao's pupils contracted sharply as she stared at Old Ancestor Hongyun in disbelief.

The next moment, Li Xiao flicked his hand and produced a Yellow Middle Plum. Holding it aloft with magical power, he offered it to Old Ancestor Hongyun. "Senior Red Cloud, I shall give this Yellow Middle Plum to you!"

Old Ancestor Hongyun was flattered beyond measure. He hurriedly accepted the Yellow Middle Plum and cupped his hands toward Li Xiao. "Many thanks, Little Friend Li Xiao!"

"Um... Little Friend Li Xiao, the West is impoverished, and this humble Taoist has never seen a divine treasure like the Yellow Middle Plum. Could Little Friend Li Xiao give this humble Taoist one Yellow Middle Plum? Oh, no, two—one for Senior Brother and one for me!"

At that moment, Daoist Zhunti shamelessly spoke up.

When Li Xiao heard this, he rolled his eyes wildly.

Damn it, give you Yellow Middle Plums? I'll give you a hammer! Do you take me for a charity worker? Besides, if I give you these Yellow Middle Plums, will you turn around and attack my Jie Sect later? Am I that stupid? Would I strengthen an enemy?

Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts again.

"What? The Western Sect will attack my Jie Sect? Could it be that the Western Sect will take part in the Investiture of the Gods War?"

Yunxiao was stunned inwardly.

Before Li Xiao could speak, Tongtian Cult Master flew into a rage. He glared at Daoist Zhunti and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, do you think Yellow Middle Plums are worthless junk? Give one to this person, one to that person? Hmph! If you know what is good for you, leave at once. I will not hold it against you!"

Daoist Zhunti's old face flushed crimson. He glared furiously at Tongtian Cult Master but could not utter a word.

"Disciple, return to Golden Ao Island with me!"

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Li Xiao and Yunxiao.

"Hold it!"

At that moment, a stern shout rang out.

Everyone turned around. The owner of that voice was none other than Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

"Second Senior Brother, what else is it?"

Tongtian Cult Master frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate suddenly turned to Li Xiao. "Hmph. Earlier, my disciple Guangchengzi sensed the Yellow Middle Plum. But when he arrived, someone had already taken it first. It must have been you, Nephew Li Xiao, who seized Guangchengzi's opportunity. This humble Taoist will not demand the Yellow Middle Plum from you, but you must write down the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts!"

Damn it, what nonsense are you dreaming of? The Yellow Middle Plum is mine. What does it have to do with you? And if I give you the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts, will you raise your cultivation and come attack my Jie Sect? Am I that stupid?

Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's voice again.

Sure enough, the Investiture of the Gods War is related to the Chan Sect...

Yunxiao had almost confirmed the cause of the Investiture of the Gods War.

Of course, Li Xiao only said those words in his heart. He did not dare talk back to Primordial Heavenly Venerate like that.

At least, not yet!

Naturally, that task fell to Tongtian Cult Master!

Mm, a master existed to take the blame!

Sure enough, the next moment, Tongtian Cult Master looked at Primordial Heavenly Venerate with a sneer and said disdainfully, "Second Senior Brother, your skin is as thick as ever. You truly have no shame, making such a demand of a junior. Do you take me for nonexistent?"

"Tongtian, what did you say?"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate instantly exploded. His eyes reddened as he glared at Tongtian Cult Master and shouted in a deep voice.

Tongtian Cult Master looked utterly disdainful. Curling his lip, he said, "What did I say? Don't you know perfectly well? Guangchengzi sensed an opportunity, so it belongs to him? Then I sensed your Pangu Banner. Does that mean the Pangu Banner belongs to me?"

"Bastard! Tongtian, you..."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate erupted in fury, like a rabid lion, and roared.

"Hmph, Yuanshi, stop baring your fangs before me. Do you think I fear you?"

Tongtian Cult Master refused to yield. With a shake of both arms, a vast expanse of auspicious clouds burst forth behind his head. Four immortal swords floated within those clouds, along with a great diagram—the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.

Had it been the Tongtian Cult Master of the past, he might have yielded upon seeing Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate!

But now Tongtian Cult Master knew that the Jie Sect would be destroyed, perhaps even jointly destroyed by Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the others. How could he still care about brotherly affection? How could he yield to Primordial Heavenly Venerate again?

When Primordial Heavenly Venerate saw the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, his pupils shrank sharply. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Tongtian, you only know how to throw your weight around with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Do you think this humble Taoist fears you?"

"Hmph. If you do not fear it, then enter my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and take a stroll!"

Tongtian Cult Master refused to give ground and spoke in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he flicked his hand and tossed out the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram. It flew into the air and instantly spread across the entire sky. Sword qi filled the heavens, sending chills through everyone's hearts.

Then, the four immortal swords flew out and hung upside down from the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest corners of the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, trembling without end!

Each time the four immortal swords trembled, they spawned countless terrifying strands of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

In an instant, dense masses of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi filled the space beneath the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, making everyone's scalps tingle.

The sword intent alone shattered the Primordial Stars in the void one after another...

What? Old Ancestor Hongyun Is Going to Die?

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation could not be broken without the Four Saints!

That was what the Dao Ancestor had said!

Now that they saw the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation with their own eyes, all the Saints were deeply shocked.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate in particular had a face red with rage. His whole body trembled as he glared at Tongtian Cult Master, gritting his teeth. "Tongtian, you... you have no respect for your elder brother, you..."

"Enough. Making such a scene before the juniors—what sort of behavior is that? Third Brother, withdraw the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and then let everyone disperse!"

At that moment, the peacemaker Taishang Laojun stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.

Tongtian Cult Master hesitated for a moment, then swept his sleeve and withdrew the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate's old face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his entire body trembled with rage.

Taishang Laojun looked at Li Xiao and said with a smile, "Nephew Li Xiao, when you have time, you may come visit my Shouyang Mountain."
