East Sea Envoy Comes to Kunlun

Yuanshi saw Tongtian's bruised and swollen face and his anger subsided by more than half. He said, "Good, it's good that you know your mistake. Have those seven miscreants rebuild the Jade Void Palace!"

"Mmm... Second Martial Uncle..." Tongtian said, covering his face and mumbling.

"What? My disciple built a mountain for the three of us, and your seven attendants aren't worthy of rebuilding the Jade Void Palace for me?"

Yuanshi thought of Nan Ji and was extremely satisfied. Compared to him, Tongtian's seven attendants were like clouds and mud.

Although he felt wronged, Tongtian thought about it and realized it made sense.

He glanced sideways at the six attendants, with one still embedded in the floor tiles, and immediately became furious.

Of course, Tongtian's injuries were only superficial, and he quickly recovered with a slight circulation of his magic power.

With his original appearance restored, Tongtian ordered the seven, "You seven, help your Second Martial Uncle rebuild the Jade Void Palace here!"

"Ouch... my elbow..."

"Ouch... my kneecap..."

"Ouch... my lumbar disc..."

But to his surprise, the six attendants pointed to the serious injuries they had sustained from Nan Ji's beating and wailed to Tongtian and Yuanshi.

"You..."

Tongtian pointed at them, trembling with anger and unable to speak.

Yuanshi, being an arrogant person, saw this scene and snorted, "No need to trouble yourselves."

Just as Yuanshi was about to use his magic power to restore the Jade Void Palace himself, the door to Changsheng Hall suddenly opened.

"Second Martial Uncle, leave it to me!"

Upon closer inspection, it was Qiongxiao, the youngest of the Three Xiaos.

Yuanshi saw Qiongxiao approach and stopped his actions, looking at her with some confusion.

Then, Yunxiao also flew out, bringing Bixiao and Zhao Gongming to Yuanshi.

Yunxiao said, "Reporting to Second Martial Uncle, we are willing to help with the repairs!"

"We are willing!"

Seeing their respectful demeanor, Yuanshi nodded, "Mm!"

Then, Yuanshi thought to himself: Tongtian has taken in some good disciples. No, it seems Nan Ji found them for him. I should ask Nan Ji to find some for me sometime.

With this thought, Yuanshi no longer paid attention to them and strode towards Changsheng Hall.

After Yuanshi entered Changsheng Hall, Bixiao quickly got up and went to Tongtian's side. "Master, are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"Master, you've suffered so much."

"Master, does it still hurt? Let me blow on it for you."

Then, the Three Xiaos and Zhao Gongming gathered around Tongtian and began to express their concern.

Nan Ji secretly peeked from behind a pillar outside Changsheng Hall and couldn't help but whisper, "Tsk, if I hadn't seen you all watching from inside the whole time, I might have believed you."

"Alas, young people these days..."

Nan Ji heard a voice and turned around to find his Senior Martial Uncle, Laozi, also peeking.

"Disciple, I plan to focus on my breakthrough. For the next thousand years, this Changsheng Hall will be yours."

"When you have time, find me some disciples with excellent roots and aptitude."

Saying this, Yuanshi closed the hall door without regard for Laozi and Nan Ji standing outside.

Laozi saw his second brother acting this way and pouted, "Is your master talking to you? He's clearly talking to me! Alas..."

Despite his dissatisfaction with Yuanshi, Laozi still handed the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to Nan Ji.

Then, he sighed and returned to his Eight Sceneries Palace.

Although Nan Ji had his master's orders, he still wanted to wander around Kunlun first.

Because he hadn't seen Niu Niu in a long time.

She was a little sister he had known before he became familiar with the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, Nan Ji didn't have any desire to "raise" her; he simply found Niu Niu very cute.

Moreover, if they were to become Dao companions, for countless years to come... the thought of it made Nan Ji tremble.

"Love is sweet, but marriage is difficult. And if you add a deadline of countless years..."

Thinking of this, Nan Ji shivered in fear.

But as Nan Ji walked along, he found no trace of any living beings along the way.

"Huh, that's strange. There isn't even a single tiger in Kunlun."

Just as Nan Ji was wondering, he saw two figures flash before his eyes.

Seeing traces of living beings immediately piqued Nan Ji's interest.

Nan Ji's feet began to stir up wind, and the scenery around them flashed by like a reflection.

"Dao..."

Just as Nan Ji was about to greet them, he found himself at the entrance of a cave.

Upon closer inspection, he recognized them: it was Ziyang Zhenren and Bihai Yuanjun from the East Sea Immortal Court.

This caused Nan Ji to suddenly stop speaking and quietly take out the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, concealing his aura.

"Why are these two being so sneaky?" Nan Ji watched curiously.

He saw the two approach the cave entrance, and Ziyang Zhenren spoke in a low voice, "Elder, this is probably not appropriate, is it?"

Bihai Yuanjun shot Ziyang Zhenren a glare and said in a sweet voice, "What? Do you think the same as the King? Don't be naive. How could Queen Mother of the West possibly hand over the Ren Water Immortal Peach?"

"But... it's not necessary to use this poison."

Ziyang sized up the intimidating Bihai Yuanjun before him and spoke with some trepidation.

In truth, East King Duke's original intention was for the two to invite Queen Mother of the West, but upon arriving at Kunlun, Bihai Yuanjun insisted on a more cunning approach.

Ziyang understood Bihai Yuanjun's intentions; she admired East King Duke but was jealous of Queen Mother of the West, who was his equal.

Unaware that her little secret had been seen through by Ziyang, Bihai Yuanjun retorted irritably, "What do you know? If I asked you to get it, would you?"

Then, Bihai Yuanjun's delicate eyebrows unfurled, and her fingers began to tremble slightly as a water ball of deep blue color condensed in her hand.

"Go!"

With a gentle clap of her palms, the water ball instantly transformed into pure white mist, spreading towards the cave.

As the white mist surged into the cave, the spirit plants along the way withered, and the soil was corroded into a deep black.

A moment later, a furious roar echoed from within the cave, "Who dares to be so presumptuous in Western Kunlun!"

As soon as the voice finished, a massive tiger appeared before the two.

"Who are you people? How dare you poison this place?" Queen Mother of the West, transformed into a tiger, spoke.

Queen Mother of the West's words, accompanied by the tiger's roar, caused the surrounding jungle trees to fall.

Seeing Queen Mother of the West appear, Bihai Yuanjun showed no fear. Instead, she spoke, "Hahaha, Queen Mother of the West, I am Bihai Yuanjun, an elder of the Immortal Court. Today, I am here on East King Duke's orders to take your Ren Water Immortal Peach."

"How dare you! The Immortal Peach was bestowed by the Dao Ancestor. By what right does East King Duke covet it?"

Queen Mother of the West, known for her fiery temper, spoke as she powerfully pushed off the ground with her four tiger claws and lunged towards Bihai Yuanjun.

Seeing that Queen Mother of the West's speed did not diminish, Ziyang retreated with Bihai Yuanjun and asked, "Didn't you say your Bihai Spirit Sealing Saliva was incredibly poisonous? That even a Quasi-Saint would be rendered powerless and unable to move?"

Bihai Yuanjun was also puzzled and could only placate him, "Let's wait a bit longer."

Seeing the two constantly retreating, Queen Mother of the West clawed at the ground, causing countless cracks to appear.

Then, countless giant rocks surged towards them.

When the two tried to dodge, they found there was no escape. The moment they were struck by the rocks, they were both heavily injured and fell to the ground.

Queen Mother of the West then used her tiger claw to step on Bihai Yuanjun's chest, sneering, "Heh, such meager tricks, utterly laughable."

As Queen Mother of the West applied a little more pressure, Bihai Yuanjun spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Bihai Yuanjun's eyes widened in terror as she exclaimed, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could my Bihai Spirit Sealing Saliva not work?"
