Tongtian is Beaten Up, More People Arrive from the East Sea

Nan Ji had been zoning out, but snapped back to attention when Laozi asked him a question.

"Huh? Senior Martial Uncle, what did you say?"

Nan Ji felt a little embarrassed.

Even though he had played a part in the Heavenly Dao's push for this matter, he still felt uncertain in his heart.

"Second Brother, look at little Nan Ji, he's actually spacing out! Unlike me, I'm always listening to you and Eldest Brother."

Tongtian, looking like he enjoyed stirring up trouble, boasted to Yuanshi.

Perhaps because Yuanshi had been giving him face since he started taking disciples, he rarely debated with him anymore, which led to Tongtian becoming increasingly unrestrained.

Yuanshi ignored him and instead asked, "Disciple, what do you think?"

Seeing Tongtian's mischievous grin, Nan Ji secretly clenched his fist at him. Tongtian, unfazed, just smiled back at Nan Ji with a sideways glance.

Nan Ji ignored Tongtian and seriously replied to Yuanshi, "Master, this disciple believes that the demon race will one day overthrow the Immortal Court's forces."

Laozi was very satisfied with Nan Ji's answer. He nodded and stroked his beard, saying, "Hmm, I think so too, but the Great Desolation has become restless."

"What are we afraid of? If they dare to come, I'll fight them."

"If I can't beat them, I'll hide in Nan Ji's Changsheng Hall."

"Do Di Jun and East King Duke dare to take someone from under Master's nose?"

Tongtian said righteously.

After all, the current scattered immortal forces had already posed a great threat to the Three Pure Ones, but Changsheng Hall housed Hongjun.

Therefore, Tongtian was not afraid.

Nan Ji said unhappily, "Little Martial Uncle, that Changsheng Hall is mine, yours is Biyu Palace."

Tongtian shamelessly replied, "With our relationship, we're closer than brothers. Why distinguish between yours and mine?"

Tongtian spoke animatedly, unintentionally revealing his true thoughts. He didn't notice Yuanshi's expression gradually darkening beside him.

Hiss~

Nan Ji suddenly felt a chill pass by him and happened to see his Master's gloomy face.

Laozi seemed to have sensed something as well and said to everyone, "Although we do not fear the Demon Court and the Immortal Court, we cannot neglect our own cultivation."

"What are we afraid of? At worst, we can hold up Master's portrait and go in front of them. See if they dare to be presumptuous," Tongtian said, still oblivious to the awkward atmosphere.

His words were becoming more and more outrageous.

Laozi frowned and said, "Alright, Nan Ji, let's not disturb your Master and Martial Uncle any longer."

With that, Laozi, with Nan Ji who had long wanted to slip away, left.

"Don't go, Eldest Brother, I haven't finished speaking!"

Seeing the two leaving, Tongtian suddenly had a bad premonition.

However, Tongtian's plea did not make them stop. Laozi even began to walk away at a brisk pace.

"Tongtian!"

Yuanshi's voice immediately echoed throughout Jade Void Palace.

Tongtian, with his back to Yuanshi, was so startled that he shivered all over. He quickly turned around with a mournful face, "Second Brother, I, I was wrong!"

Bang~~~

Yuanshi waved his hand, and the main door of Jade Void Palace was instantly locked.

"It was Second Brother who was wrong."

Tongtian, who had been scared, burst into laughter when he heard Yuanshi say that. "Second Brother, you think so too?"

Thinking this, Tongtian instead comforted Yuanshi, "Actually, it's not that big of a mistake."

"Second Brother, it's good that you know you've made a mistake and are willing to correct it."

Yuanshi listened, his brows furrowed into a knot, and the veins on his temples were about to pop.

But Tongtian still didn't notice and continued to speak to himself, "As long as you talk less in the future..."

"Tongtian! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not your Second Brother!"

Hearing Tongtian say this, Yuanshi, enraged, summoned his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and hurled it at Tongtian.

Tongtian instinctively raised his hand to block, and the impact of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi immediately scattered in all directions.

Rumble~

Just as Nan Ji and Laozi arrived at Eight Sceneries Palace, a loud noise suddenly came from Jade Void Palace.

The entire Jade Void Palace had been shattered by the furious Yuanshi.

Seeing this, Laozi's heart pounded with fear. He no longer cared about his image and grabbed Nan Ji, "Little Nan Ji, Senior Martial Uncle will borrow your Changsheng Hall to hide for a bit."

Without waiting for Nan Ji to react, Laozi grabbed him and flashed into Changsheng Hall.

Bang~ After the two entered, Laozi hurriedly locked the doors of Changsheng Hall.

Seeing his Jade Void Palace destroyed, Yuanshi blamed all the problems on Tongtian. He, usually silent, let out a laugh of extreme anger, "Good, you've learned to fight back."

"You even smashed my Jade Void Palace!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, then I'm your second brother!"

Tongtian stared blankly at the shattered Jade Void Palace, never expecting things to turn out this way.

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps due to the suppression of his bloodline instincts, Tongtian was beaten by Yuanshi with no power to fight back.

He didn't even use his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, resorting to fists and kicks to beat Tongtian.

This scene was also witnessed by the Seven Attendant Immortals, who even heard Yuanshi say that Tongtian had fought back.

"Master, fight back, quickly fight back," Jinguo Xian shouted, stirring up trouble.

"I've had enough of this indignity for a long time, Master, put some force into it," Lingyaxian said, covering his mouth where his tusks used to be.

Qiushouxian immediately transformed into his true form, the Green Mane Lion, and charged at the two, "Master, I'm here to help you!"

Yuanshi was already burning with rage from Tongtian, his internal organs feeling like they were being scorched by Samadhi True Fire. Seeing Qiushouxian charging towards him, he roared at Tongtian, "Look at the fiends you've taken in."

Tongtian, already feeling guilty, saw the charging Qiushouxian and slapped it.

With a bang.

He immediately knocked Qiushouxian down, its body embedding deeply into the plaza tiles.

"My tiles... my tiles that I spent a hundred years on... they're all ruined."

Nan Ji looked at the beaten Qiushouxian, saying with heartache.

"This is outrageous!"

But when he saw Laozi about to go out, Nan Ji stopped him, "Senior Martial Uncle, conflicts must be resolved. Let Master and Martial Uncle handle it themselves."

Based on Nan Ji's experience, it was best not to have a third person intervene in a conflict between two people.

In his past life, it was Laozi, Yuanshi, and the Two Sages of the West who joined forces, causing the true rift in the relationship between the Three Pure Ones.

Hearing Nan Ji's words, Laozi pondered and felt they made sense.

Just as he was about to say something, his gaze swept over and he discovered another figure within Changsheng Hall. He waved his hand.

Zhao Gongming... the Three Xiaos... four figures appeared before them one after another.

Seeing that Laozi had discovered them, they quickly knelt and said, "Senior Martial Uncle."

"You..." Laozi intended to ask for the reason, but hearing the sounds of fighting outside, he nodded again, "You are quite clever. Stay here for now."

Meanwhile, outside, Tongtian truly experienced a "brother's love."

His cultivation was inferior to Yuanshi's, and he was beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

Yuanshi fought for a long time, even feeling pain in his palms, before stopping and asking, "Speak, do you know you were wrong?"

"Mmm, I know I was wrong, sob sob."

Tongtian felt wronged and said with tears streaming down his face.
