Above Golden Ao Island.
"Cowards of the Interception Sect, I've come to see you!"
"I am Taiyi Zhenren!"
With the aid of spiritual power, Taiyi Zhenren's voice reached every member of the Interception Sect.
At that moment, Duobao and the others heard him as well, their brows furrowing tightly.
He had come while Master was in secluded cultivation. It seemed the Chan Sect's intentions were far from pure!
"Golden Ao Island does not welcome anyone from the Chan Sect!"
"Little Brother Taiyi, get lost and go home!"
Duobao replied furiously as well.
Hmph?
Taiyi Zhenren's eyes were filled with disdain. Was the Interception Sect really a sect of cowards?
"Ridiculous!"
Taiyi Zhenren sneered viciously. "The Interception Sect has countless disciples, but unfortunately, every one of them is a coward!"
"Hahaha, you don't even have a single person brave enough to step forward!"
"You actually dare to claim that myriad immortals come to pay homage to you? Who gave you the nerve to say that?"
Taiyi Zhenren's voice was filled with contempt.
As members of the Interception Sect, they viewed insults to their sect as if sand had been thrown into their eyes. How could they tolerate it?
"Taiyi has gone too far!"
"Senior Disciple Brother Duobao, are we really going to just listen to this without doing anything?"
Jin Ling's eyes seemed to spit fire as she spoke furiously.
Zhao Gongming was shaking with rage as he cursed, "You're nothing but the Chan Sect's lackeys!"
"Stop barking wildly outside and come in! Let your grandpa see whether dog meat tastes good!"
Taiyi Zhenren laughed in extreme anger.
"Hahaha, all you can do is talk!"
"Don't just talk, either! If you have the guts, come out of your eggshells!"
He wants me to enter Golden Ao Island?
How could that be possible? Only an idiot would go in!
If I went in and couldn't get back out, wouldn't that be hilarious? I'd also end up with a bad reputation. It wouldn't be worth it at all!
If I really entered, and Yuanshi blamed me afterward, things would become troublesome.
Hearing Old Dog Taiyi's insults, every disciple of the Interception Sect was furious!
He had actually called Golden Ao Island an eggshell?!
Unforgivable!
Everything Taiyi said was heard by the people of the Interception Sect.
At that moment, Golden Ao Island seemed like a volcano on the verge of erupting!
Wu Yunxian shouted in burning fury, "You've gone too far! Old Dog Taiyi! Do you dare fight me to the death?!"
How many years had it been since anyone dared treat the Interception Sect like this?
Ever since the Interception Sect was founded, myriad immortals had paid homage to it. No one had ever acted so recklessly before the Interception Sect's headquarters!
The Chan Sect was plucking fur from a tiger's mouth!
"Senior Disciple Brother Duobao!"
"Just let me go and take that dog's life!"
A disciple shouted furiously.
One after another, they all cried out that they wanted to leave the island and take Old Dog Taiyi's life.
"Senior Disciple Brother!"
"Taiyi has insulted our Interception Sect like this. How can we possibly endure it?"
These disciples were certainly no match for Taiyi Zhenren. Sending them out would only be sending them to their deaths.
Zhao Gongming said, utterly enraged, "Let me go!"
"I'll use the spiritual treasure Master gave me to beat Taiyi so badly that even his grandfather won't recognize him!"
He possessed the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Beads and intended to rely on that treasure to kill Taiyi.
"No one is allowed out! Don't fall for it!"
Duobao's brows were tightly furrowed as he spoke with unquestionable authority.
He remembered Tongtian's warning. The Chan Sect clearly had no good intentions this time!
Duobao calmed down and held the disciples back, refusing to let them leave.
Outside Golden Ao Island.
Seeing that the Interception Sect's people still had not taken the bait, Guangchengzi looked at Taiyi and laughed. "Hahaha, it seems the disciples of the Interception Sect are truly afraid of us!"
"They have no strength and no sense of shame, yet they insist on making us force them onto the Investiture of the Gods!"
"What a troublesome bunch!"
Boom!
The disciples of the Interception Sect were all so furious that their hair stood on end, like barrels of fire ready to explode at the slightest touch!
"Senior Disciple Brother!"
Zhao Gongming was shaking all over with rage, unable even to suppress his aura.
"Everyone, calm down!"
"Are you idiots?! Can't you see that they're provoking you on purpose?"
"They don't dare enter Master's territory, so they're deliberately angering you and trying to lure you out. Do you think anything good will happen if you go out?"
Duobao's face was full of anger and helplessness. He had to hold his junior brothers back and stop them from leaving.
After hearing Senior Disciple Brother Duobao's words, the disciples of the Interception Sect temporarily abandoned the thought of leaving the island.
"Hehehe!"
"A bunch of cowards!"
"On this enormous Golden Ao Island, is there really not a single person willing to come out and fight me?!"
Outside Golden Ao Island, Guangchengzi laughed loudly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within Golden Ao Island, powerful auras surged into the sky one after another!
The disciples of the Interception Sect had reached the point where they could no longer endure it.
Seeing this, Duobao was also furious, but he had to restrain his impulsive junior brothers.
He could still suppress three or four people if they acted on impulse.
But now, more than half of the disciples were blazing with rage. He feared that, when the time came, he would be unable to stop them no matter what he did.
Remembering his Master's words, confidence returned to Duobao's face. He absolutely had to hold his junior brothers back!
Even so, Duobao desperately wished for his Master's assistance.
Compared to the fury raging across Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Tongtian opened his eyes, which were filled with sword rays, and waves of terrifying aura burst from his body.
He already knew everything happening on Golden Ao Island. Everything was within his grasp.
"Hmph!"
"So they couldn't do it openly and have decided to resort to underhanded tricks!"
Tongtian's expression darkened as he coldly watched Taiyi Zhenren and Guangchengzi outside the island.
Do they really think I'm a pushover?
Do they truly think I'll keep enduring this forever?
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations, you have triggered the system's hidden option."
"Option One: End secluded cultivation and come out to teach Taiyi Zhenren and the other a lesson. Reward: one gourd of Great Dao Divine Water and three million Great Dao Merit."
"Option Two: Continue watching without coming out to teach them a lesson. Reward: Eight Profound Pearls (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure)."
Looking at the arrogant pair outside Golden Ao Island, Tongtian answered without hesitation, "I choose one!"
"Since someone has already put his face right in front of you and asked you to hit him, how could you possibly hold back?"
"For some things, enduring is useless. If you endure once and then endure again, why endure any longer?!"
"It would be one thing if Yuanshi were arrogant, but how can his two disciples also act arrogantly in front of me?"
"It's time to properly teach them what manners are!"
After Tongtian made his choice, the two treasures appeared inside his Violet Palace.
Looking at the rewards granted by the system, Tongtian muttered to himself, "I'll deal with those two lackeys outside first!"
Tongtian did not hesitate any longer. He rose and prepared to leave.
Whoosh!
Tongtian lightly flicked a finger toward the void.
Boom! Boom!
A vast amount of spiritual power instantly filled the Mountain Protection Formation.
A series of frightening auras spread out, and the Mountain Protection Formation instantly activated.
"Th-this... Could it be that Master has left secluded cultivation?"
The disciples' faces were filled with excitement.
Master had come out of seclusion! Just watch how my Master deals with those two lackeys outside!
Boom!
A gigantic palm condensed in the void and slammed directly down at Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi was completely dumbfounded. Before he could react, the palm struck him.
"Pfft!"
Guangchengzi spat out a mouthful of old blood and was sent flying, slamming into the mountain...
