Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword to Chop Chang'er Dingguang Immortal at the Start

Yunxiao knew that Duobao Daoist would likely betray the sect in the future!

The reason for Duobao Daoist's betrayal would be none other than to achieve Primordial Unity. Now, there was a shortcut: if he could snatch Li Xiao's Primordial Violet Qi and comprehend the Great Dao contained within it, he might be able to achieve Primordial Unity. How could Duobao Daoist miss such an opportunity?

Clearly, Li Xiao was worried that Duobao Daoist, while ostensibly sending him out on a mission, actually intended to steal his Primordial Violet Qi!

Stealing the Primordial Violet Qi was one thing, but Li Xiao was also worried about his own life!

After all, his cultivation was currently too low, only at the late True Immortal stage!

Li Xiao looked at Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters, grinning, "Junior Brother Gongming, honored Junior Sisters, it's not too late to drink this wine when we return. When we're back, we can discuss the Dao while drinking, wouldn't that be delightful?"

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Drinking was secondary; the key was discussing the Dao!

Discussing the Dao could potentially involve the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts!

Zhao Gongming was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Excellent! Then we shall accompany Fifth Senior Brother to retrieve that Purple Zhu Fruit!"

Li Xiao nodded, his eyes gleaming with an unreadable light. "Junior Brother Gongming, you will accompany this humble Taoist, but not openly. Follow me secretly!"

"Follow Fifth Senior Brother secretly? Why? Could it be..."

Zhao Gongming was taken aback, then seemed to realize something. His expression immediately turned solemn, and he looked at Li Xiao with disbelief. "Fifth Senior Brother, are you suspecting someone intends to harm you?"

Li Xiao's face was wreathed in a smile. "This humble Taoist is merely speculating!"

With Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters protecting him, Li Xiao felt reassured!

Not to mention anything else, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters' combat power was considered top-tier within the Intercepting Sect!

Even if Duobao Daoist himself appeared, the four of them could probably hold him off for a while, giving Li Xiao enough time to escape!

"Understood. We will do as Fifth Senior Brother commands!"

Zhao Gongming put down his wine cup, his expression grave.

Li Xiao looked at Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters. "If that's the case, then I'll trouble Junior Brother Gongming and the honored Junior Sisters to go ahead. Oh, right, Junior Brother Gongming and honored Junior Sisters, if we truly encounter anyone who attacks this humble Taoist and tries to steal my Primordial Violet Qi, do not hold back. Strike to kill!"

"Fifth Senior Brother, rest assured. This humble Taoist will ensure they never return!"

Zhao Gongming let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

The Three Xiao sisters followed Zhao Gongming out.

After the four of them had left, and some time had passed, Li Xiao leisurely set off for Peach Blossom Island.

Once he left Golden Ao Island, Li Xiao slowly made his way towards Peach Blossom Island, riding the clouds.

Halfway there, a black light suddenly shot out, blocking Li Xiao's path.

Li Xiao was startled and looked closely. The person was wrapped in a black robe, their face hidden, and he couldn't tell who it was. He exclaimed in anger, "Who are you? Why do you block my path? Do you know who I am? I am Li Xiao, the fifth personal disciple under Saint Tongtian! If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, or don't blame this humble Taoist for being impolite!"

This black-robed figure was none other than Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal looked at Li Xiao with disdain and deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice, "Hmph, Li Xiao, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Oh? You recognize this humble Taoist? Who are you?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with divine light, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmph, Li Xiao, I'll ask you one more time: the Primordial Violet Qi, will you hand it over, or not?"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal seemed to lose patience and asked in a deep voice.

Li Xiao flipped his hand, revealing the Primordial Violet Qi, and looked at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal with disdain, curling his lip. "The Primordial Violet Qi is right here. Let's see if you have the ability to take it!"

Well, well!

This Li Xiao fellow is so arrogant?

With your meager cultivation, what are you being so arrogant about?

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was stunned, then let out a heavy, cold snort and said sternly, "Fine! Since you refuse a toast and insist on a forfeit, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal flashed and lunged towards Li Xiao, striking him with a palm.

"Boom..."

Just then, a dark green bead suddenly smashed towards Dingguang Immortal.

Caught off guard, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was sent tumbling backward, flying for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles.

"Damn it, Zhao Gongming..."

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was dazed from the blow, but he still recognized the bead as the Supreme Clarity Treasure Bead.

Previously, Tongtian Cult Master had gifted the Supreme Clarity Treasure Bead to Zhao Gongming!

At that moment, another stream of light struck.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had just stabilized himself and had no idea someone else was attacking him. This time, it was Yunxiao who made the move.

Yunxiao's cultivation was extremely high, even surpassing Zhao Gongming's.

Boom...

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was in a panic. He only had time to erect a protective shield before it was instantly shattered. The unfortunate Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was once again sent flying.

"My god, Yunxiao's here too, then..."

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, hanging in mid-air, felt his heart grow cold.

As expected, the next moment, Qiongxiao also appeared. She kicked Dingguang Immortal right in the groin, making him yelp in pain and fly backward like a ball.

Chapter 37: Don't Panic When Trouble Arises, Just Sleep It Off

"Boom..."

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, still in mid-air, was violently blasted away again by Bixiao.

"Hmph, you audacious thief! How dare you lay a hand on someone from my Intercepting Sect? You're practically begging for death!"

Zhao Gongming roared, unleashing his golden whip, aiming it at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's head.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, terrified to his core, let out a strange cry and dodged the fatal blow. However, the golden whip struck his shoulder, sending him plummeting into the sea.

"Gurgle..."

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal coughed up blood in the sea, but he ignored his injuries, mustering his last bit of magical power to speed forward.

"Hmph, thief, witness the might of my Nine Bends Yellow River Great Formation!"

Yunxiao let out a sharp cry and appeared above Chang'er Dingguang Immortal. She flicked her wrist, tossing the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Plate into the sea.

Instantly, the sea churned violently, waves crashing like mountains. A surge of yellow sand shot into the sky, twisting and turning like an enraged dragon, rushing towards Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

"Hmph, thief, feel the power of my Primordial Golden Dou!"

Qiongxiao cried out, tossing the Primordial Golden Dou.

The Primordial Golden Dou transformed into a golden light, soaring into the air and becoming a massive golden cauldron. It began to suck in the seawater like a whale, threatening to swallow Chang'er Dingguang Immortal along with it.

"Thief, behold my Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and I shall tear you to shreds!"

Bixiao also shrieked, fanning her sleeves. Two streams of golden light shot out, revealing themselves as two flood dragons.

The two flood dragons roared and charged, baring their fangs and claws. They suddenly merged, entwining with each other. With a flash of golden light, they transformed into an enormous pair of golden scissors.

The scissors gleamed with a cold, metallic light, their blades pointing downwards, whistling as they descended upon Dingguang Immortal.

"Ah, my life is forfeit..."

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal screamed in terror.

Just as Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was about to meet his demise, a dark shadow streaked through the air.

The shadow moved with incredible speed, radiating mystical light. With a deafening boom, the figure used their magical power to forcefully push away the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, the Primordial Golden Dou, and the Nine Bends Yellow River Great Formation.

Then, the figure, carrying Chang'er Dingguang Immortal, transformed into a beam of light and fled into the distance.

Upon returning to Golden Ao Island, the mystical light around the figure subsided, revealing their true appearance: Duobao Daoist.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal looked at Duobao Daoist with a face on the verge of tears, his voice trembling with lingering fear, "First Senior Brother, if you had arrived any later, I fear... I fear I wouldn't have seen you again, sob sob..."

"Hmph, I didn't expect Li Xiao to be so well-prepared..."

Duobao Daoist's eyes flickered, his face grim.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal looked at Duobao Daoist, gritting his teeth, "First Senior Brother, what should we do next?"

Duobao Daoist snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "What else can we do? Li Xiao is already prepared. We will lie low for a while. Once he lets his guard down, we can make our move then!"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal secretly grimaced.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao looked at Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters, lamenting, "Ah, what a shame, what a shame! We didn't manage to kill that scoundrel Dingguang Immortal..."

"Huh? Dingguang Immortal? Was that Dingguang Immortal Senior Brother just now?"

Zhao Gongming exclaimed in surprise.

"Dingguang Immortal? Did I say Dingguang Immortal?"

Li Xiao immediately denied it.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you did!"

Bixiao looked at Li Xiao.

"Alright, I did say it, but... I was just guessing. Whether that person was Dingguang Immortal is still unknown!"

Li Xiao shrugged and pouted.

"Hmph, that hateful Dingguang Immortal! How dare he steal Fifth Senior Brother's Primordial Violet Qi! It's truly despicable. It's a pity I didn't chop him down with a single sword just now..."

Qiongxiao gnashed her teeth in anger.

"If that person really was Dingguang Immortal, then who was it that rescued him just now?"

Bixiao asked the crucial question.

Instantly, the scene fell silent, a deathly quiet descending upon them!
