I Am the Three Pure Ones' First Disciple!

Hearing the voice behind him, Nan Ji turned his head to look.

Before him stood a red monstrous bird!

The monstrous bird had nine heads and eighteen eyes, staring fiercely at Nan Ji.

"I actually missed you! Hehehe..."

The voice seemed to come from all nine heads, sending a shiver down Nan Ji's spine.

"It's you..."

Even though he found it hard to believe, seeing the bloodstains and wounds on the monstrous bird, Nan Ji had no choice but to accept the reality before him.

Nan Ji trembled, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Where are Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao?"

"You mean those two cultivators?"

"They've already entered my belly. I must say, their souls are truly delicious, hehehe..."

The monstrous bird's voice, neither male nor female, made Nan Ji, who was already furious, feel even worse.

As if indifferent to Nan Ji's feelings, the monstrous bird spoke on its own, "But don't you worry, why don't you become my Ghost Chariot's..."

At this moment, before the Ghost Chariot could finish speaking, Nan Ji suddenly took out his Soul Slaying Staff!

"Go to hell!" With that, Nan Ji raised the Soul Slaying Staff and swung it at the Ghost Chariot before him.

"Hmph!"

The Ghost Chariot scoffed at the furious Nan Ji.

The demon race placed the utmost importance on tempering their physical bodies.

Although it could tell that Nan Ji was also a Grand Unity Golden Immortal at the early stage, just like itself, there was a world of difference in strength in the Great Desolation without proper guidance.

As for the Ghost Chariot, its cultivation had been personally taught by the demon race's Eastern Emperor and Tai Yi.

They were guests of the Purple Firmament Palace, so the Ghost Chariot did not dodge the enraged Nan Ji, taking the attack head-on.

As Nan Ji's Soul Slaying Staff struck the Ghost Chariot's body, not a single fiery red feather fell. It couldn't help but mock, "Is that all the strength you have... Ah..."

Although its physical body was unharmed, as the Soul Slaying Staff was lifted, the Ghost Chariot felt a pure, corrupting energy invade its Primordial Spirit.

"It doesn't hurt, does it!"

"That little bit of strength, huh!"

Nan Ji, venting his anger, continued to strike the Ghost Chariot with his Soul Slaying Staff.

With each strike of the Soul Slaying Staff, the stinging sensation in its Primordial Spirit made the Ghost Chariot unable to stand upright.

From afar, Nan Ji, several times smaller than the Ghost Chariot, jumped up and down, repeatedly striking with a slender Soul Slaying Staff.

The giant bird, the Ghost Chariot, had its nine heads spinning wildly, its wings flapping violently on the ground, and many red feathers falling through the air.

"You, you!"

Enduring the intense pain, the Ghost Chariot's body suddenly erupted in green flames.

"Netherworld Fiend Fire!"

Although Nan Ji's cultivation time was short, he had received the Three Pure Ones Primordial Scripture from the Three Pure Ones, which had filled in much of his unknown information.

For example, this Netherworld Fiend Fire was extremely powerful and could even burn the Primordial Spirit of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Hmph! It's good that you recognize it. I advise you... Ah!"

The Ghost Chariot intended to use the Netherworld Fiend Fire to burn away the corrupting force clinging to its Primordial Spirit like a maggot.

However, when the flames touched that corrupting force, it was like splashing hot oil onto a fire, causing the Ghost Chariot even more pain.

As its Primordial Spirit became contaminated, the Ghost Chariot's cultivation began to show signs of decline, even threatening to fall to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Nan Ji naturally believed that the Soul Slaying Staff in his hand was no ordinary item, as the Three Pure Ones were destined to be extraordinary beings since their formation.

As beings born from the Primordial Spirit of the Great God Pangu, how could their refined impurities be eliminated by such flames?

Although the Soul Slaying Staff was completely unaffected by the flames, Nan Ji was still just an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Therefore, Nan Ji immediately summoned the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and enveloped himself within it.

As the rolling mysterious yellow energy descended from the pagoda, even the Netherworld Fiend Fire could not harm Nan Ji in the slightest.

"Die for me!"

Nan Ji looked at the battered Ghost Chariot before him and showed no mercy, smashing down with all his might, blow after blow.

"No, don't!"

Although the Ghost Chariot was arrogant, it now saw Nan Ji, who was like a person inside a golden shield.

In the current Great Desolation, there were only a few supreme treasures, and Nan Ji's pagoda was clearly the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda belonging to the Grand Pure One Laozi among the Three Pure Ones.

At this moment, the Ghost Chariot wailed and desperately begged for mercy.

Its heart was filled with regret.

It had initially thought Nan Ji was just a cultivator like the rogue cultivators from Mount Wuyi, and even at the same realm, the Ghost Chariot had never feared them.

But he never expected that this kid in front of him was actually related to the Three Pure Ones!

Out of instinct for survival, Ghost Chariot opened its mouth and spat out a storage bag.

Its other eight heads then cried out in supplication, "Ah... yes, it was my fault for being blind... I didn't recognize, recognize that you are a cultivator from Kunlun Mountain. These are the treasures of those two cultivators... please, let me go!"

Ghost Chariot feared no harm even if it killed more rogue cultivators.

At worst, it could fly towards the Sun Star, and it was sure Di Jun and Tai Yi wouldn't stand by idly.

But... these Three Pure Ones...

They were not to be trifled with, and could not be trifled with!

What kind of person could emerge holding the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda if not someone close to the Three Pure Ones?

Bang!

Seeing that his Soul Slaying Staff could only taint its Primordial Spirit, Nan Ji flew into the air to evade the Netherworld Fiend Fire and hurled the pagoda at Ghost Chariot.

Thus, under Nan Ji's furious attack, one of Ghost Chariot's bird heads was smashed by Nan Ji until only half of it remained.

At the same time, his gaze fell upon the storage bag.

This... is this the last thing Brother Xiao and Brother Cao left behind?

Nan Ji quickly snatched it over, staring blankly at his palm, a wave of bitterness surging in his heart.

Seeing this, Ghost Chariot didn't care about anything else and rushed towards the sky to escape.

Sensing the strong winds stirred by Ghost Chariot's wings, Nan Ji snapped back to reality. Without time to examine the contents of the storage bag, he grabbed his Soul Slaying Staff and pursued.

Ghost Chariot's bird head bled profusely, yet it dared not slow down even slightly, flapping its wings with all its might.

Nan Ji chased fiercely from behind, shouting as he went, "You fiend, where do you think you're going!"

It was unclear how long they had flown, but they were getting closer and closer to the Sun Star. Enduring the burning of the True Sun Fire, Ghost Chariot stopped and shouted loudly, "Please, Demon Emperor, save me!"

"Heh!"

Nan Ji wasted no more words, raising the Soul Slaying Staff to strike Ghost Chariot.

However, this blow did not land on Ghost Chariot. Instead, a faint red light shield appeared around it.

The Soul Slaying Staff, which had always been invincible, now felt like it was hitting a ball of cotton, neutralizing Nan Ji's attack.

Following this was a deep voice, which spoke without joy or sorrow, "Little friend, stop!"

Then, the flames of the Sun Star before them churned, and two men in golden robes appeared before Nan Ji.

"You..."

Although Nan Ji had already guessed their identities, he found Ghost Chariot truly detestable, so he asked.

"I am Di Jun!"

"Tai Yi!"

The two answered one after another. Di Jun then asked, "May I ask if little friend is a disciple of the Three Pure Ones' senior brother from Kunlun Mountain..."

Nan Ji's teeth itched with hatred at this moment, but he knew he couldn't defeat Di Jun and Tai Yi.

So, Nan Ji forced himself to calm down and replied, "My master is Jade Pure Yuanshi!"

"This person killed my two friends. Are you two uncles going to let her bully the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones like this?"

As he said this, Nan Ji's eyes were red, but with Di Jun and Tai Yi blocking his path, there was nothing he could do.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun appeared as if he already knew, saying, "So, you are a disciple of Senior Brother Three Pure Ones!"
