He felt Hongjun teleporting him out.
"Thankfully, thankfully."
Tongtian looked at the long-lost light and couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
At the same time, Tongtian also heard the telepathic messages from his eldest brother Laozi and second brother Yuanshi.
"You must be cautious with your words and actions from now on."
"You... sigh, just manage those things yourself and consolidate your cultivation as soon as possible."
Although the two said they were going to cultivate, Tongtian was their biological younger brother since they had taken human form.
Ever since he was taken away by Hongjun, it would be a lie to say they weren't worried, so the two had been paying attention to all the movements on Xuanqing Peak.
Originally, Yuanshi wanted to lecture Tongtian again, but he remembered that his master had just sent him back, so the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth turned into a single sentence.
Hearing his elder and second brothers' words, Tongtian suddenly felt a sting in his nose.
This was also the longest time he had been separated from Laozi and Yuanshi since he had taken human form.
So, Tongtian nodded at Eight Sceneries Palace and Jade Void Palace, then returned to his own Biyu Palace.
"Hmm? Why is it still sealed?"
Tongtian sized up the palace gate in front of him and casually removed the restriction on it.
The moment the palace gate opened, seven bruised and battered animals stared blankly at Tongtian.
The long-eared rabbit reacted the fastest, immediately kneeling at Tongtian's feet.
"Master, please uphold justice for us."
Seeing this, the other creatures understood the long-eared rabbit's intention and started talking to Tongtian in a rush.
"We earnestly sought the Dao, yet we were inexplicably insulted by others."
"That, that senior brother, he also wanted to drive us away."
As they narrated, they didn't mention what they had done, which made Tongtian's warm heart gradually fill with coldness.
"That senior brother also said that our backgrounds are poor and we are not worthy of being your disciples."
"He also told us not to tell you, otherwise we would be beaten even harder."
"It's pitiful that we had no one to guide us when we took human form. We finally had an opportunity, but it was so difficult."
Perhaps it was because there were many of them, and as they spoke more, their accounts became more outrageous.
Finally, Tongtian listened to their tearful complaints with a dark expression and directly said, "Enough."
As soon as Tongtian finished speaking, they stopped talking, but their crying was exceptionally piercing.
And the long-eared rabbit, having jumped the highest, was beaten the hardest by Nan Ji.
So, his eyes rolled, and he hugged his rabbit leg, softly groaning, "Ouch, ouch."
Listening to their words, Tongtian subconsciously felt that the Nan Ji they described was not the same person as the one he knew.
But then he thought, at that time, there were only three people on Xuanqing Peak.
His eldest brother wouldn't do such a thing, and his second brother disdained to do it, so it could only be Nan Ji.
Thinking of this, Tongtian waved his hand, and a stream of Spirit Dew sprinkled onto the seven people.
As the Spirit Dew fell, the wounds on their bodies slowly disappeared.
"You shall cultivate here for now. I will be back shortly."
Tongtian said, and decided to go look for his second brother.
As Tongtian got closer to Jade Void Palace, he felt increasingly uneasy. The longing for Yuanshi he had felt in Purple Heaven Palace had faded.
So, Tongtian changed direction and headed towards Eight Sceneries Palace.
Before Tongtian even reached the door, he heard Laozi's voice, "Nan Ji has gone to the East Sea. If you insist on taking in those seven creatures, make them attendant boys. You cannot directly teach them the Three Pure Ones Primordial Scripture or Master's Yellow Court Scripture."
Tongtian heard this and, although he couldn't quite understand, he thought it made sense.
So, Tongtian turned back to his Biyu Palace and took the seven people in as attendant boys.
He then taught them some methods for initial cultivation and transformation, and began to consolidate his cultivation and deduce techniques in Biyu Palace.
Meanwhile, Nan Ji had come out excitedly, but it was only when he truly left Kunlun that Nan Ji felt helpless.
The Great Desolation was so vast, and there were more than trillions of living beings.
Although Nan Ji knew their names, he did not know their locations.
Thinking this, Nan Ji slowly reduced his speed. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he secretly said: I'm so foolish. I don't know the four direct disciples, but surely the Three Xiaos would know?
The East Sea, Three Immortal Island!
So, Nan Ji quickly found the location of Three Immortal Island by using the Three Pure Ones Primordial Scripture taught to him by the Three Pure Ones.
As Nan Ji's claws descended, his flapping wings slowly dispersed the spiritual mist surrounding them.
"Huh? Where is everyone..."
Upon first glance, Nan Ji found no one on the island, so he swept his divine sense across the entire island again.
As expected, he discovered three beings hiding in the deepest part of the island.
Nan Ji stepped on the ground and, without using any earth-traveling techniques, entered the earth using the laws of wine crystals brewed by the Twelve Ancestor Witches.
When he reached the deepest part of the island, Nan Ji discovered it was a hidden world, with a hollow center.
However, Nan Ji did not suddenly appear before the three individuals. Instead, he stopped when there was still some distance and said, "Fellow Daoists, Nan Ji of Xuanqing Peak has come to visit."
Sensing that Nan Ji had found them, the Three Xiaos no longer hid.
"Fellow Daoist Nan Ji! Since you're here, please come in." A woman's voice came from within the cave.
With the Three Xiaos' permission, Nan Ji headed towards the deepest part of the cave.
Upon entering, he found that its area was not very wide.
Yunxiao looked at Nan Ji, who appeared to be a young man with an ethereal and refined demeanor, and secretly lowered her guard, explaining, "Please forgive my lack of grace, Fellow Daoist Nan Ji. I am Yunxiao, and these two are my second sister, Qiongxiao, and my youngest sister, Bixiao. We are being pursued by an enemy and were forced to hide here."
"Uh, there were no living beings outside just now. May I ask who the immortal's enemy is..."
Nan Ji rubbed his head and asked curiously.
After all, he clearly remembered that one of the magical treasures of the Three Xiao Maidens was called the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.
It seemed that it was transformed from two flood dragons.
Bixiao, the youngest, directly replied when Nan Ji asked, "It's the two Primordial Yin-Yang Flood Dragons at the bottom of our Three Immortal Island. They often come to bully us."
Qiongxiao, upon hearing this, kindly said, "Fellow Daoist should leave quickly. My elder brother has already lured those flood dragons away. If they find their way back, we will have no choice but to flee."
"Oh, so your elder brother is still being chased by those flood dragons? Is he in danger?" Nan Ji asked anxiously upon hearing this.
After all, Zhao Gongming was considered a rather good disciple of Martial Uncle Tongtian; he absolutely couldn't be killed by these two flood dragons.
"My elder brother, Zhao Gongming, was transformed from innate pure qi. How could those two flood dragons possibly catch up to my elder brother?" Bixiao replied straightforwardly.
Qiongxiao, however, looked at Bixiao anxiously and said, "Aiya, why did you reveal your elder brother's true form?"
"I... Fellow Daoist Nan Ji doesn't seem like a bad person," Bixiao replied aggrievedly.
"But you still shouldn't..."
It was Yunxiao who looked at her second sister, Qiongxiao, and her youngest sister, Bixiao, with some helplessness and explained, "Please forgive my lack of grace, Fellow Daoist. My elder brother..."
"It's alright, I'll be back soon!"
Nan Ji didn't want his Martial Uncle's senior disciple to be in any danger, so he turned and left without waiting for Yunxiao to finish.
When Nan Ji flew to the Three Immortal Island, he spread his divine sense, which was at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, outwards, searching for Zhao Gongming and the two flood dragons.
Not long after, Nan Ji indeed found Zhao Gongming.
Although he had never seen Zhao Gongming before, the man was being pursued by the two flood dragons in an extremely sorry state.
Thus, Nan Ji transformed into his true form and, flapping his wings, instantly arrived in front of Zhao Gongming.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
