Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal at the Start

Tongtian Cult Master looked at the great immortal Zhenyuanzi and said lightly, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, this Primordial Violet Qi was entrusted to this humble Taoist by fellow Daoist Hongyun while he was asleep. Since you are here, I shall entrust it to you for safekeeping..."

Although he said this, Tongtian Cult Master had already gifted the Primordial Violet Qi to Li Xiao. How could he give it to the great immortal Zhenyuanzi now!

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's pupils contracted, and then he shook his head slightly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian is too kind. Since fellow Daoist Hongyun gave the Primordial Violet Qi to you before his death, you should just keep it!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was not foolish!

Since the Primordial Violet Qi was already in Tongtian Cult Master's hands, Tongtian Cult Master already considered it his own!

He was merely making a gesture of yielding; why would he be so foolish as to actually accept the Primordial Violet Qi?

If he truly accepted the Primordial Violet Qi, he might not be able to leave Golden Ao Island today...

Chapter 35: Duobao Daoist's Two Lackeys

Seeing that Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi was so sensible, Tongtian Cult Master nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that is the case, this humble Taoist shall keep the Primordial Violet Qi on behalf of fellow Daoist Hongyun. As for fellow Daoist Hongyun's remnant soul, this humble Taoist will continue to nurture it with his magic power, and we shall discuss it further later!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi quickly cupped his hands and said, "In that case, many thanks to the Saint!"

Saying this, he flipped his hand, revealing ten Ginseng Fruits, which he levitated with his magic power and offered to Tongtian Cult Master, saying, "Saint, these are ten Ginseng Fruits, all as a token of my gratitude. Please, Saint, do accept them!"

Tongtian Cult Master felt a little embarrassed as he accepted the ten Ginseng Fruits and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, rest assured, fellow Daoist Hongyun's remnant soul is safe here with this humble Taoist!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi nodded and cupped his hands to Tongtian Cult Master, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, if that is all, then this humble Taoist shall take his leave!"

"Farewell, Daoist. Yunxiao, escort Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi off Golden Ao Island!"

Tongtian Cult Master said to Zhenyuanzi, with the latter half of his sentence directed at Yunxiao.

After leaving Golden Ao Island, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi headed straight for the Demon Race.

It was rumored that Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi caused a great disturbance among the Demon Race, killing countless demon soldiers and even destroying the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was enraged and pursued Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi, who then holed up on Longevity Mountain, using the Earth Book formation to resist Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the demon army.

After this incident, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi publicly denounced the Two Sages of the West, causing quite a stir in the Primordial World.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao was lazing around on Golden Ao Island.

One day, as Li Xiao was comfortably sunbathing on the beach, his cultivation unexpectedly broke through again, reaching the middle stage of True Immortal realm!

Not far away, Duobao Daoist shot Li Xiao a venomous glance, snorted coldly, and then turned back towards Duobao Peak.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal and Pilu Immortal, his two lackeys, hurried to follow Duobao Daoist.

Upon arriving at Duobao Peak, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, I really don't know what's so great about that Li Xiao. For our Teacher to have gifted the Primordial Violet Qi to him is truly detestable and infuriating!"

Pilu Immortal also said fiercely, "Hmph, exactly. By rights, no matter how it was distributed, this Primordial Violet Qi should have gone to First Senior Brother. How could it have ended up with that scoundrel Li Xiao?"

"Hmph, I really wish I could snatch the Primordial Violet Qi for First Senior Brother!" Chang'er Dingguang Immortal said indignantly.

Duobao Daoist's eyes flickered with a sharp light as he suddenly turned to look at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's old face twitched violently, and he looked at Duobao Daoist in confusion, asking, "First Senior Brother, why are you looking at this humble Taoist like that?"

"Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, what you just said, is it true?" Duobao Daoist asked, his eyes fixed on Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's old face twitched violently. He wished he could slap himself a few times, but at this moment, he could only show his loyalty. He quickly cupped his hands to Duobao Daoist and said, "This humble Taoist is willing to go through fire and water for First Senior Brother, and will not hesitate. It's just... it's just that Li Xiao stays holed up on Golden Ao Island all day and doesn't go out. This... This humble Taoist can't make a move!"

"That's easy. I'll find an excuse to make him leave the island. Then it will be up to you, Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal!" Duobao Daoist said, looking at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal felt like crying but had no tears. He looked at Duobao Daoist and said urgently, "First Senior Brother, for First Senior Brother, I am naturally willing to face any danger, but... but Teacher..."

"Don't worry, Teacher has already gone into seclusion, wandering the vastness of the void!" Duobao Daoist said calmly.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had no choice but to take a deep breath and cupped his hands to Duobao Daoist, "Everything will be as First Senior Brother arranges!"

Duobao Daoist nodded.

The few of them plotted.

One day, Li Xiao was comfortably sunbathing on the beach again. Just then, a streak of light shot over.

The light faded, revealing a figure. This person was none other than Pilu Immortal.

"Fifth Senior Brother!" Pilu Immortal greeted Li Xiao.

"Boom..." At this moment, a terrifying fluctuation emanated from Li Xiao's body, his energy surging upwards, stirring the wind and clouds in the sky.

It turned out that Li Xiao had once again received the system's reward of hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, and his cultivation had once again improved, breaking through to the late stage of True Immortal realm!

"Uh? What's going on? How did cultivation break through so easily? Didn't this Li Xiao just break through a few days ago? How did he break through again after sleeping for a night?" Pilu Immortal's old face twitched violently, and he was shocked.

"Could it be... this beach has some kind of magical effect?"

Pilu Immortal wondered.

Li Xiao got up from his self-made rocking chair, stretched his arms and yawned. He looked at Pilu Immortal with sleepy eyes and asked, "Oh, it's Junior Brother Pilu Immortal. What can I do for you?"

Pilu Immortal looked at Li Xiao and chuckled, "Fifth Senior Brother, I've come to deliver the First Senior Brother's decree. The First Senior Brother wants Fifth Senior Brother to go to Taoyuan Island to pick a Green Vine Purple Vermilion Fruit..."

The vast Intercepting Sect naturally had its rules!

Duobao Daoist, who had previously managed the Intercepting Sect, was responsible for assigning daily tasks to the disciples and teaching them cultivation!

"You want me to go?"

Li Xiao's old face twitched fiercely.

Pilu Immortal nodded and smiled, "Fifth Senior Brother, the First Senior Brother is doing this for your own good. This task is very simple, just a trip to make it look like something is being done, to keep the other disciples in the sect balanced!"

A sharp glint flickered in Li Xiao's eyes as he chuckled sheepishly, "Well... well, Junior Brother Pilu Immortal, please go back and tell the First Senior Brother that I understand!"

"Very well! Take care, Fifth Senior Brother. I shall take my leave then!"

Pilu Immortal cupped his hands to Li Xiao and then transformed into a streak of rainbow light, heading towards Duobao Peak.

Upon reaching Duobao Peak, Duobao Daoist eagerly asked, "How did it go?"

Pilu Immortal nodded, grinned, and said, "First Senior Brother, rest assured, Fifth Senior Brother has accepted the task!"

Duobao Daoist clapped his hands excitedly and burst into laughter, "Excellent!"

With that, Duobao Daoist turned to Chang'er Dingguang Immortal and said, "Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, the rest is up to you now!"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal took a deep breath and cupped his hands to Duobao Daoist, "First Senior Brother, please rest assured, I will not disappoint you!"

"Good!"

Duobao Daoist nodded.

Meanwhile, after receiving the message from Pilu Immortal, Li Xiao felt uneasy.

"I just obtained the Primordial Violet Qi, and now Duobao is sending me out? If there's no trickery involved, I'll eat my hat..."

Li Xiao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering, and he muttered, "Could it be that they plan to steal my Primordial Violet Qi while I'm away? It's possible, but Duobao assigned me the task, and I can't refuse. What should I do?"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Just then, several streaks of light shot towards Fifth Peak.

Chapter 36: The Unfortunate Chang'er Dingguang Immortal

The streaks of light faded, revealing four figures: Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters.

Zhao Gongming carried two jars of wine and laughed heartily, "Fifth Senior Brother, I've come to drink with you again! Come, let's drink another thirty jars this time..."

Zhao Gongming had heard that Li Xiao had debated with Zhenyuanzi and others at Wuzhuang Temple, even discussing the legendary Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

Because of this, Zhao Gongming had specifically gone to Three Immortal Island to ask Yunxiao for confirmation, as she had been present at the time.

After receiving Yunxiao's affirmation, Zhao Gongming was overjoyed. He then dragged the Three Xiao sisters to Fifth Peak to visit Li Xiao, bringing dozens of jars of fine wine, intending to get Li Xiao drunk and extract the secret of the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.

However, the Three Xiao sisters all looked at him with disdain, as if to say, Don't you have any self-awareness? You, after last time, trying to get Li Xiao drunk?

At this, Zhao Gongming's old face flushed, and he vowed to succeed this time.

And so, the scene before them unfolded!

Seeing Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters, Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he grinned, "Junior Brother Gongming, I'm afraid I can't drink with you this time!"

Zhao Gongming was taken aback and asked, "Why is that? Could it be that Fifth Senior Brother is afraid of me?"

Afraid of a scrub like you?

This guy really has no self-awareness!

Li Xiao rolled his eyes internally and pouted, "Just now, Junior Brother Pilu Immortal came with a message saying the First Senior Brother wants me to go to some Taoyuan Island to pick a Green Vine Purple Vermilion Fruit!"

"Uh? Then we really picked a bad time to come!"

Zhao Gongming sighed and pouted.

However, Li Xiao's eyes blazed with excitement, "No, Junior Brother Gongming and the three Junior Sisters have come at the perfect time!"

"Uh? Fifth Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

Zhao Gongming was bewildered.

Beside him, Yunxiao seemed lost in thought.
