The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow (Part One)

Surrounding Chang'e were Eight High Immortals, a formidable force. Even a fleet of 100,000 Water Soldiers only had five celestial-level generals. No wonder Chang'e dared to seek revenge against Marshal Tianpeng. With Zhuge Xiang now joining the fray, he could effectively restrain Marshal Tianpeng, greatly increasing Chang'e's confidence in victory.

"Don't even think about taking advantage of someone's misfortune..." Marshal Tianpeng and Zhuge Xiang were both making a show of their skills when the Eight High Immortals attacked together. Naturally, the Four Generals couldn't stand idly by. With a fierce roar, they rushed forward.

Although there were only four people, the tacit understanding cultivated between the Four Generals over thousands of years was something that Dongming Shangxian and his temporary allies could not match.

The Four Generals formed a battle formation, their attacks and defenses linked, and for a time, they actually managed to entangle the Eight High Immortals. Such tacit cooperation was unexpected, yet it was also perfectly reasonable.

These Eight High Immortals came to the Heavenly River to challenge Marshal Tianpeng, all for the sake of Fairy Chang'e. Naturally, they all harbored some degree of hostility and competition, so there was little room for tacit understanding. In contrast, the Four Generals already had a tacit understanding. Given this balance of power, it wasn't surprising that the Four Generals joined forces to stop these Eight High Immortals. Although the aura emanating from Mo Lingna hadn't yet reached the level of an immortal, Chang'e believed that, given her status as Zhuge Xiang's woman, she must possess formidable strength, just like Zhuge Xiang.

"Your husband is currently fighting Marshal Tianpeng, and the battle is evenly matched. Shouldn't you go and help?" Chang'e's captivating voice rang out as she moved closer to Mo Lingna.

Hearing Chang'e's words, Mo Lingna turned her head and glanced at Chang'e. Although her unparalleled beauty was obscured by the Black Veil, this mysterious and hazy beauty only made people want to explore it further. However, Mo Lingna harbored great hostility towards her, so Mo Lingna only gave her a cold look before turning her head away and ignoring her, as if she had not heard Chang'e's words at all.

Mo Lingna's attitude secretly angered Chang'e. With her beauty, who in the Three Realms and Six Paths wouldn't be captivated? Even women would feel inferior in her presence. Over the years, who hadn't admired and paid attention to her? Yet Mo Lingna dared to ignore her so blatantly, which greatly displeased Chang'e. Mo Lingna wouldn't intervene. Chang'e's beautiful eyes fixed on the Battlefield. After observing for a moment, her clear voice rang out, saying, "Shadow High Immortal, it's pointless to entangle with those Four Generals. Quickly go and help defeat Marshal Tianpeng; otherwise, with 100,000 naval troops arriving, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed."

Although the Four Generals' teamwork was unmatched by Dongming Shangxian and his group, they were still more numerous. Shadow High Immortal, on the other hand, had exceptional stealth abilities. Therefore, although Shadow High Immortal was not the strongest in combat, it would be easier for him to break through the encirclement than for the others.

"Alright," Shadow High Immortal nodded, his figure flashed and disappeared into the shadow. With the other seven immortals entangled in battle, it would be extremely difficult for these Four Generals to stop Shadow High Immortal in the midst of the fight.

When Chang'e spoke, Shadow High Immortal naturally wouldn't refuse. Besides, Chang'e's words made a lot of sense. What was the point of fighting with these generals? He hadn't come to the Heavenly River for these generals, but for Marshal Tianpeng. Moreover, to catch the thief, catch the king first. As long as they could capture Marshal Tianpeng as soon as possible, they wouldn't have to be afraid even if 100,000 Water Soldiers came.

Although Shadow High Immortal was only a shadow that had been cultivated, he was still Immortal-Demon level being. Moreover, he was a shadow of the Western Great Sun Tathagata. He passed through the area sealed off by the Four Generals and joined the battle between Zhuge Xiang and Marshal Tianpeng, thus becoming a powerful ally for Zhuge Xiang.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm here to help you!" With a punch, a jet-black swastika-shaped Swastika Buddha Seal appeared and struck towards Marshal Tianpeng's back.

Strangely, the Swastika Buddha Seal formed from the shadow was also pitch black, yet it possessed no trace of evil or darkness.

"Alright," Zhuge Xiang, since the other party was there to help anyway. He nodded and, in coordination with Shadow High Immortal's attack, continuously wielded the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Sea Calming Divine Needle, unafraid of Marshal Tianpeng's cultivation, which was almost at the level of an Immortal Realm Emperor Lord.

Marshal Tianpeng's strength is almost at the level of the Great Emperor Realm, surpassing even the Purple Emperor and Thunder Flame Emperor of the Asura Path. Moreover, he wields an Immortal Artifact- grade weapon, making him so powerful that few would disagree with calling him the number one person below the Immortal Realm Emperor Lord.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xiang's strength improved significantly after the Sacred War; otherwise, he would have been firmly suppressed by Marshal Tianpeng long ago.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xiang, who was already putting up a good fight against Marshal Tianpeng, received help from Shadow High Immortal. With the two joining forces, they gradually gained the upper hand and suppressed Marshal Tianpeng.

Chang'e, the fairy, Shadow High Immortal with her beautiful eyes the battle between Zhuge Xiang, and Marshal Tianpeng. As she watched Marshal Tianpeng slowly fall into a disadvantageous position, Chang'e's beautiful eyes filled with joy.

"You people dare to run wild in the Heavenly River territory! You will all bear the wrath of the Jade Emperor..." Suppressed by Zhuge Xiang and Shadow High Immortal, and looking around, the other seven immortals, after the initial period of adjustment, have gradually developed some tacit understanding. The Four Great Generals are also slowly being suppressed. Marshal Tianpeng, seemingly realizing that his defeat is imminent, spoke up.

"Hmph, shameless scoundrel! How dare you covet the beauty of the Chang'e and sneak into the Moon Palace at night! Such behavior deserves to be punished by everyone. Even the Jade Emperor Great Sage will not protect you," said Shadow High Immortal Shangxian coldly upon hearing Marshal Tianpeng's harsh words.

In the Asura Path and the Demon Realm, the law of the strong prevails. As long as you are strong enough, no one will do anything to you, even if it is unreasonable. However, in the Immortal Realm, it is different. Although strength is also important, people in the Immortal Realm like to give themselves a high-sounding reason and place themselves on the moral high ground, no matter how they conduct themselves.

In short, the Demon Realm and the Asura Path are based solely on strength, not reason, while the Immortal Realm is based on both reason and strength.

In the Immortal Realm, if you have power but no reason, you will become a so-called dictator, or even fall into the demonic path and be attacked by the masses. However, if you have reason but no power, no one will listen to your reason.

Therefore, even though he had the upper hand, Shadow High Immortal dared not ignore Marshal Tianpeng's harsh words and directly confronted him about his despicable behavior towards Fairy Chang'e, thus gaining the upper hand.

This is why so many immortals are willing to stand up for Chang'e, the Moon Goddess. They can please the beauty, gain a moral high ground, and win fame—why not?

"Indeed, such shameless behavior deserves to be punished by everyone in the Immortal Realm," the seven immortals fighting the Four Great Generals shouted in righteous indignation.

In the Immortal Realm, countless people harbor feelings of love for the fairy Chang'e. Marshal Tianpeng, infatuated with her beauty, launched a night raid on the Moon Palace, an event that caused a great uproar throughout the Immortal Realm and naturally aroused the indignation of many powerful figures.

The immortals, filled with righteous indignation, became even more ruthless in their attacks. In contrast, the Four Generals, hearing their marshal's affairs brought up again, showed some embarrassment on their faces. This mood naturally affected the Four Generals' fighting, and soon, the Four Generals were suppressed by the seven immortals.

Seeing this scene, beneath her veil, Chang'e's cherry lips curved slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and her beautiful eyes also curved slightly.

"And you? Are you also here for the fairy Chang'e?" Marshal Tianpeng did not refute the words of these immortals, but turned to Zhuge Xiang with a face full of anger and asked.

Zhuge Xiang shook his head and replied, "I've already said before that my purpose in coming to the Heavenly River is simply to make a trip to the Dragon Clan. It seems the Marshal still doesn't trust me?"

"Very well, since you say so, I will believe you. As long as you stop, I will no longer stop you from traveling in the Heavenly River, how about that?" At this point, Marshal Tianpeng had no other choice but to hope that Zhuge Xiang was telling the truth.

With Eight High Immortals and Zhuge Xiang, Marshal Tianpeng believed that even if he joined forces with the Four Great Generals, they would be difficult to deal with. However, if Zhuge Xiang were not present, the situation would be quite different.

"Alright, since you will no longer prevent me from traveling within the Heavenly River, there is naturally no reason for us to fight," Zhuge Xiang replied without hesitation to Marshal Tianpeng's suggestion.

As he spoke, Zhuge Xiang proved his words with action, immediately stopping the fight and retreating.

Zhuge Xiang was in a hurry to return to the Cultivation World, and if this pointless struggle could be avoided, Zhuge Xiang didn't want to linger here any longer.

Zhuge Xiang's answer was completely unexpected. Marshal Tianpeng and the Four Generals were slightly taken aback, not expecting that Zhuge Xiang's words were actually true. With such an advantage, he was really willing to leave?
