"Bihai Spirit Sealing Saliva?"
"You think you're worthy of poisoning a Quasi-Saint?"
Queen Mother of the West scoffed at Bihai Yuanjun's poison.
As she spoke, Queen Mother of the West applied more force, shattering several more of Bihai Yuanjun's ribs. "Not to mention my Quasi-Saint cultivation, even the Plain Cloud Boundary Banner bestowed by the Dao Ancestor makes me immune to all magic."
"Pfft..."
Crushed by Queen Mother of the West's tiger-like claws, Bihai Yuanjun spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Seeing that Bihai Yuanjun was already severely injured, Ziyang Zhenren quickly spoke up, "Senior Queen Mother of the West, please show mercy."
Queen Mother of the West glared with her tiger eyes. Ziyang Zhenren, knowing he was in the wrong, explained, "We were in the wrong this time. Please remember that East King Duke and you are both honored as the heads of the immortals by the Dao Ancestor's decree. You must not damage the relationship between you two."
"Hahahaha!"
Queen Mother of the West threw her head back and laughed. Then, with a surge of force from her tiger claws, countless Golden Metal Qi shredded Bihai Yuanjun's lower body into pieces.
"Relationship? What relationship do I have with him? You two harmed me today, and you have the nerve to ask me to show mercy?"
"If I don't go to his East King Duke's Penglai Island to demand an explanation, how can I be worthy of being the Head of Female Immortals?"
Her body utterly destroyed, Bihai Yuanjun's spirit was no longer as radiant as before.
She cast a faint glance at Queen Mother of the West and said with difficulty, "Senior, Senior Queen Mother of the West, this matter was my idea alone. His Majesty ordered us to come and discuss it with you, but I..."
"It was me, I like the King..."
Before Bihai Yuanjun could finish speaking, Queen Mother of the West stomped her tiger claw, crushing Bihai Yuanjun's head.
"So much nonsense!"
Queen Mother of the West had no patience to listen to Bihai Yuanjun's rambling. With a forceful stomp, she crushed her body and true spirit into dust.
Then, she coldly addressed Ziyang Zhenren, "I'll spare your life. Go back and tell East King Duke that I will personally visit him to demand an explanation one day."
With that, Queen Mother of the West vanished back into her cave.
Ziyang Zhenren stared blankly at everything that had just happened, unsure of what to do.
"Why, why did it have to come to this?"
Although Ziyang Zhenren knew Bihai Yuanjun had feelings for East King Duke, he also knew East King Duke treated Bihai Yuanjun with loyalty.
Otherwise, how could Bihai Yuanjun have become an elder of the Immortal Court?
But there was no such thing as a Dao Companion in this world, and neither of them had confessed their feelings, leading to this tragic outcome.
"Sigh..."
Ziyang Zhenren waved his hand, collecting Bihai Yuanjun's pulverized remains. He sighed and then departed.
When Nan Ji saw Queen Mother of the West emerge, he initially thought it was his Duo Duo who had grown up.
It wasn't until her familiar voice and personality appeared that he knew it was the tempestuous tigress from the back mountains of Kunlun.
So, as he watched Queen Mother of the West turn back, Nan Ji involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.
Nan Ji thought to himself: She's too ruthless. If you didn't know she's the Head of Female Immortals, you'd think she was some chaotic demon. But her anger at being poisoned is understandable.
Perhaps scared by Queen Mother of the West, Nan Ji didn't dare to leave immediately.
He was afraid Queen Mother of the West would mistake him for an accomplice and stomp him to death.
When Nan Ji nervously returned to Xuanqing Peak, he found the entire Kunlun Mountain shrouded in dark clouds, with thunder rumbling.
"Queen Mother of the West, come out here!"
East King Duke's voice boomed from high above.
Upon hearing this, Nan Ji thought: What, why is East King Duke here in Kunlun?
As soon as East King Duke finished speaking, Nan Ji saw a streak of light shoot up into the sky. When the light stopped, it revealed Queen Mother of the West.
"East King Duke, I didn't go to your Penglai Island, so you've come to Kunlun Mountain."
Queen Mother of the West lunged forward, intending to attack East King Duke.
But as she extended her tiger claws forward, she was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Hahaha, Queen Mother of the West, you've wantonly harmed my immortal mansion's cultivators. Today, I, East King Duke, have come to demand an explanation."
From within the clouds, East King Duke's figure appeared intermittently as he spoke to Queen Mother of the West.
Queen Mother of the West immediately transformed into her human form, waved her arm, and the Plain Cloud Boundary Banner appeared in her hand.
She held the banner with both hands and continuously waved it towards the dark clouds where East King Duke was. Instantly, dense white mist surged and spread towards the clouds.
Just as the white mist was about to touch the clouds, a large number of cultivators' figures appeared within them.
They were in groups of several, each performing different hand seals, and they actually used the dark clouds to block Queen Mother of the West's attack.
"Hahaha, this is the Myriad Immortals Formation, set up by tens of thousands of cultivators from my immortal mansion. Please, fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, offer your guidance."
East King Duke stood in the clouds, laughing heartily.
In the past, he naturally wouldn't have dared to offend this Head of Female Immortals, who was also appointed by the Dao Ancestor.
But now, suppressed by Di Jun and unable to obtain the Ren Water Immortal Peach, he brought out the Myriad Immortals Formation he had hidden for so long.
This time, he was not just avenging Bihai Yuanjun, but more importantly, he wanted the various races of the Great Desolation to witness the terrifying power of the Myriad Immortals Formation.
Therefore, although East King Duke spoke courteously, he stood amidst the dark clouds, continuously waving his command flag.
The rogue cultivators of the East Sea Immortal Court saw this and also began to carry out East King Duke's orders step by step.
Suddenly, countless cultivators appeared within the dark clouds. They shuttled through the clouds in an orderly fashion, each performing different hand seals.
In an instant, countless wind, fire, lightning, and sword formations appeared in the clouds. These formations then evolved into attacks of different attributes, descending upon Queen Mother of the West.
Queen Mother of the West primarily focused on body refinement. Besides the Plain Cloud Boundary Banner, she didn't have many offensive items in her hands.
Thus, she could only be forced to leap and dodge back and forth.
However, after all, the countless large formations nested within smaller formations meant their attack power was far beyond that of ordinary Quasi-Saints. Queen Mother of the West was also tormented and in a sorry state.
"How shameless!"
Queen Mother of the West's hair was disheveled, and she began to pant heavily as she spoke.
"This is the strength of my Immortal Estate. What do you think, fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West?"
As East King Duke spoke, he also used his magical power, immediately spreading these words throughout the Great Desolation.
What he wanted was to use Queen Mother of the West to establish the prestige of the Immortal Court.
"Tsk, truly shameless."
"You, a male cultivator, leading tens of thousands of people to fight one female cultivator. How thick-skinned can you be."
Nan Ji sat on the stone steps of his Changsheng Hall and couldn't help but complain.
However, Nan Ji truly didn't dare to go up. The Myriad Immortals Formation was no joke; one wrong move and he'd be done for.
But, just then, Queen Mother of the West seemed to be reaching her limit, her dodging becoming increasingly erratic.
Finally, Queen Mother of the West made a mistake and was hit by attacks from hundreds of formations, smashing fiercely into a cliff face on Kunlun Mountain.
Screech~
One of the lightning formations unleashed a bolt of lightning, directly destroying the mountain path of Xuanqing Peak.
"Hiss... My Five-Colored Glazed Stones!" Nan Ji cried out, heartbroken.
Seeing this scene, East King Duke no longer concealed his intentions and directly issued an order: "Myriad Immortals, heed my command! Queen Mother of the West disobeys the Dao Ancestor's decree and is incapable of leading the female immortals of the Great Desolation. Quickly set up a killing formation!"
This was also part of his plan.
The Dao Ancestor had once said: East King Duke is the head of the male immortals, and Queen Mother of the West is the head of the female immortals.
But the Dao Ancestor had also agreed to the establishment of the Demon Court, so he wanted Queen Mother of the West dead, which would allow him to legitimately lead the female immortals.
To become the true emperor of this Great Desolation!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Upon hearing East King Duke's command in the clouds, the Myriad Immortals shouted in unison, their voices converging into a wave of sound that spread in all directions.
"This..."
Nan Ji felt a pang of sympathy. He glanced at the palaces where his elders resided but saw no reaction. He also knew that he had no chance of winning against this Myriad Immortals Formation.
But thinking of how Queen Mother of the West had helped him fight Kunpeng and aided him in escaping the East Sea, it felt wrong not to help.
At this very moment, a spatial law fluctuation rippled through, and Duo Duo, Houtu, appeared first.
"Duo Duo?"
Nan Ji looked at Houtu, who had arrived, with some curiosity.
Houtu had an anxious expression on her face and shouted loudly at Nan Ji, "Brother, why are you still sitting here? She, she is Niu Niu."
