Hong Yun's Tribulation of Killing (Part 1)
On Mount Sumeru, the four figures on the prayer mat were Laozi, Yuanshi Zhunti Jieyin.
"The Witch Clan is powerful and disrespectful of the Heavenly Way, becoming a major variable in the Primordial World."
Yuanshi's voice was cold and tinged with disdain, "The reason its fortune is so prosperous is inextricably linked to that Hong Yun."
Everyone present was a sage, whose knowledge of divination and the workings of the Heavenly secrets had already reached its pinnacle.
Hong Yun was the first Hong Yun to attain enlightenment in the Primordial World. He was born with great fortune and had a good relationship with the Witch Clan. Invisibly, he used his own luck to benefit the Witch Clan.
If the goal is to weaken the Witch Clan, targeting Hong Yun would undoubtedly be a shortcut.
Zhunti sighed, "What Senior Sister says is absolutely right. If Hong Yun is still alive, the fortunes of the Witch Clan will be like oil being poured on a raging fire. If this continues, how can the Xuanmen prosper? How can our Western Paradise ever flourish?"
Upon hearing Laozi, Laozi slowly opened his eyes. "Hong Yun has already attained the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, and is at the same level as us. Her supernatural powers are no less than ours. If we were to harm her, it would not be possible for one person alone, and the consequences would be enormous."
She spoke calmly and directly pointed out the key issue.
The Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal is indestructible through countless eons and lives as long as heaven and earth.
Killing such a being is both incredibly difficult and extremely costly.
Jieyin gave a deep, cold laugh, "Senior sister, you are mistaken. Although she is Hunyuan Grand Unity, she is not a saint."
The four of us, our primordial spirits entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, even if our sacred bodies perish, can be resurrected by the power of the Heavenly Dao. And she, Hong Yun ..."
She paused, a hint of cruelty in her voice. "She's dead, truly dead, without even a chance of reincarnation."
The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
A glint of light flashed in Yuanshi's eyes, and Laozi also had a flash of inspiration.
Yes, that's the biggest difference.
They are the representatives of the Heavenly Dao, while the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal are not officially appointed by the Heavenly Dao are like powerful but unofficial rogue cultivators.
The Heavenly Dao can resurrect them infinitely, but the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal are different.
"Good."
Laozi spoke succinctly and calmly.
The four exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus.
Without needing further words, their divine thoughts intertwined, instantly locking onto that familiar aura on the Primordial World land.
At the same time, in the Huoyun Cave, Hong Yun, who was in seclusion for meditation, suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.
A sense of crisis emanating from the depths of her primordial spirit sent a frantic warning, instantly jolting her awake from her reverie.
Her face turned pale, and before she could even deduce the Heavenly secrets, the space above her cave was violently torn apart.
The overwhelming pressure of four saints descended, enveloping the entire Huoyun Cave.
Hong Yun suddenly stood up, rushed out of the cave, and looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti stood side by side, each with a different expression, but all with the same chilling killing intent fixed on her.
"What brings you four fellow Daoists here? May I ask what brings you here?"
Hong Yun suppressed the fear in her heart and asked in a cold voice.
She couldn't understand why, given her usual kindness, she had attracted four sages who came together with ill intentions.
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance. Zhunti forward and poured out his grievances to Hong Yun: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, my senior sister and I came from the west."
However, my Western Land are truly barren, and my disciples don't even have a decent protective treasure.
I've heard that you have great fortune, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you could be so compassionate as to bestow some spiritual treasures upon me to aid my Western Religion?"
Jieyin sighed at the opportune moment and echoed, "As for the Primordial Violet Qi, since you have already attained the Hunyuan Grand Unity, you probably don't need it anymore. Why not give it to the West as well?"
If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to help, this would be an immeasurable act of merit.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yun was first taken aback, then laughed in exasperation.
This isn't asking for help; it's clearly extortion!
"Utterly shameless!"
Hong Yun angrily rebuked, "Although my Huoyun Cave has some meager resources, they didn't come from Great Wind! You two are saints, yet you resort to such forceful plundering—do you have no shame?"
Upon hearing this, the sorrowful expression on Jieyin and Zhunti's faces vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and stern look.
Hong Yun's gaze swept over the two, her heart growing colder. She sneered, "Especially you two! Back in the Purple Heavens Palace, I took pity on your poverty in the West and gave you the Saint Position on the futon. That was a great kindness! Now you not only fail to repay it but also repay kindness with enmity, coming to my door to coerce me?"
That's incorrect!
Zhunti immediately retorted, "You gave up the meditation cushion voluntarily; we did not force you to."
Since you've already given up, that's your choice. What does it have to do with us?
"But you, today, publicly insulted us saints. How will you repay this karmic debt?"
"You!"
Hong Yun was so enraged by these shameless and distorted statements that she trembled with anger and was speechless for a moment.
She finally realized that the other party wasn't even there to extort money, but just looking for an excuse to attack.
"Further discussion is pointless!"
Jieyin a low shout, no longer pretending, "Zhunti, since she doesn't understand fate, we will send her on her way!"
Before the words were finished, the Treasured Pestle was unleashed, Jieyin golden light and crashing towards the Hong Yun.
Without Zhunti, Zhunti unleashed seven-colored divine light from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, blocking Hong Yun's retreat.
With the two sages joining forces, Hong Yun had no way to avoid the attack and could only unleash his protective treasure, the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, which filled the sky with red sand as he met the attack head-on.
A terrifying energy storm swept out, Hong Yun, ultimately fighting two opponents alone, was instantly at a disadvantage, his blood and qi churning violently from the shock.
A wave of sorrow washed over her. Her gaze swept over Laozi and Yuanshi, who were watching the scene unfold, and even the last shred of hope vanished.
Today is a deadly trap.
Since it's a dead end, then before we die, we might as well take someone down with us!
Choose the softest persimmons!
She bit her tongue sharply, channeling her primordial power and completely abandoning her defenses against the Jieyin, letting the precious Treasured Pestle smash into her shoulder.
At the same time, she poured all her power into the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, transforming it into a blood-red rainbow that pierced through the void, and blasted towards Zhunti with her life on the Zhunti!
Zhunti had not expected Hong Yun to be so fierce, and caught off guard, he was struck squarely in the chest by this desperate attack.
Click!
With a crisp sound, cracks appeared on her saintly golden body, and her holy blood spilled uncontrollably into the sky, her aura instantly weakening.
"Junior Sister!"
Upon Jieyin this, Jieyin was both shocked and furious. He activated his magic weapon with all his might and imprinted it heavily on Hong Yun's back.
Hong Yun flew out like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood, and his life force instantly weakened.
She suffered a severe blow, but she also successfully inflicted a heavy blow on Zhunti, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
Jieyin, supporting Zhunti, gazed at her cracked golden body, his anger blazing. He roared at Laozi and Yuanshi, "Fellow Daoists, what are you waiting for! If we don't completely slay this fiend today, the consequences will be dire!"
Helpless, Laozi lightly paused with his flat cane, instantly locking onto the heavily injured Hong Yun.
Yuanshi then unleashed the Pangu Banner, gathering his strength for action.
Laozi looked at the dying Hong Yun, his expression indifferent, and spoke in a voice that was both ethereal and cruel, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, this is the will of Heaven. I urge you to accept this calamity."
"A calamity?"
When Hong Yun heard those two words, it was as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
She suddenly raised her head and cursed shrilly, "What a cruel twist of fate!"
What a brilliant act of surviving a calamity!
You are utterly shameless!
"With the dignity of a sage, you commit such despicable acts! Do you even deserve to call yourselves the Orthodox Xuanmen?"
Before the cursing had even subsided, Hong Yun used Space Law to escape.
The Space Law grant them unparalleled escape abilities; if Hong Yun wanted to escape, they truly wouldn't be able to.
"Oh no! She's trying to escape!"
Zhunti clutched his chest and shouted urgently.
Enveloped by the Space Law, Hong Yun's figure instantly tore through the void and vanished from the spot.
"Chase her! We absolutely cannot let her escape, otherwise, what will become of our dignity as saints!" Zhunti, disregarding his injuries.
The four of them immediately agreed, transformed into streaks of light, and instantly gave chase...
