Inside Golden Ao Island.
The Interception Sect disciples knew this well: they had only just learned their lesson last time, and it had not even been that long ago!
Who would have thought that dignified Heavenly Dao Sages would actually hide and scheme against juniors?
"Are we really supposed to just stand by and watch the island be attacked?"
"Even though there's a grand formation on the island, I'm still worried it might affect Master's seclusion!"
Holy Mother Wudang said worriedly.
"In my opinion, we might as well go out and kill these monsters directly!"
"If we do that, won't all those people hiding behind the scenes come out?"
Golden Spirit Holy Mother said angrily.
Hearing this, the Interception Sect disciples nodded one after another and looked toward Duobao.
"No! None of you are allowed to go out!"
"I have to take responsibility for your safety."
"Master gave me powerful treasures. I'll be enough on my own!"
"Don't worry. With the treasures protecting me, I'll be back in no time!"
Duobao said resolutely before slowly leaving Golden Ao Island.
"Senior Disciple Brother Duobao!"
Before the other disciples could say another word, Duobao had already reached outside the island.
"Are we really just going to watch without doing anything?!"
Zhao Gongming said, his face filled with fury.
"Don't be impulsive! Trust Senior Disciple Brother!"
Great Immortal Wuyun also spoke in a grave tone.
They had no idea what awaited them outside the island. If they charged out all at once, they might very well lose their lives for nothing.
Outside the island, Duobao watched as the beasts charged toward him like a mass of dark clouds pressing down on the city, his brows tightly furrowed.
After probing with his spirit, he discovered that there were simply far too many beasts!
"I must protect the Interception Sect properly on Master's behalf!"
At that moment, Duobao's face was filled with unwavering determination. He immediately formed hand seals and summoned his treasures.
Two Innate Spiritual Treasures appeared in his left and right hands. In an instant, his indomitable momentum seemed ready to tear through the boundless black clouds!
Boom!
Countless beasts reached Duobao. Holding supreme treasures, he erupted with wave after wave of astonishing power.
He charged straight into the beast tide and unleashed peerless killing power. Every time he swung his hand, a beast lost its life.
For a time, the blue sea outside Golden Ao Island gradually turned a deep crimson!
It had been dyed red with the lives of countless beasts!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Through Duobao's relentless efforts, the endless beasts visibly began to dwindle.
But the good times did not last.
Before long, another wave of black clouds swept in from the rear of the beast tide. Their numbers were certainly greater than the previous wave!
"Bring it on!"
Duobao showed not the slightest fear. He once again brought out several Innate Spiritual Treasures and charged bravely into the slaughter!
Duobao had pushed his strength to the limit. Controlling five things at once, every charge directly claimed the lives of a group of beasts.
Boom!
Although Duobao had given it everything he had, he had merely managed to halt the beasts' advance temporarily.
These beasts charged forward one after another without the slightest regard for their lives!
Seeing that he could no longer hold them back, Duobao began chanting an incantation. He unleashed a Great Dao divine ability, suppressing everything in the area!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the supreme treasures working in tandem with his divine ability, hundreds or even thousands of beasts were slaughtered in an instant.
These beasts had no intelligence whatsoever. They possessed no real strength; their only advantage was their overwhelming numbers.
And this time, the beasts were merely the fuse!
"Impudent!"
Boom!
A powerful Sage's might enveloped heaven and earth. Then the Two Western Saints slowly appeared.
"Pfft!"
Duobao was crushed until he spat out blood. The five Innate Spiritual Treasures also returned to his side to protect him.
A Sage's might was incomparably powerful. Even five Innate Spiritual Treasures together could not withstand it.
Duobao had just controlled all five treasures to kill enemies for so long, while his spirit had also been spread across the five treasures. Under the pressure of the Two Western Saints, his spirit was immediately injured.
With no other choice, Duobao could only retreat from the beast tide.
Fortunately, after the Two Western Saints appeared, the beasts also stopped attacking.
"Duobao, these beasts are guardian beasts of our sect!"
"Why did you try to exterminate our sect's guardian beasts?"
"Do you think our Western Teachings are easy to bully?"
Jieyin shamelessly accused him first, speaking viciously.
Everyone on Golden Ao Island was shocked by the scene.
Two Sages!
They had come here with ill intentions for sure.
"Senior Disciple Brother Duobao!"
Zhao Gongming immediately brought out the Sea-Calming Divine Beads and prepared to leave the island to rescue Duobao.
Seeing this, all the disciples brought out their treasures and prepared to charge out.
"Everyone, stay where you are!"
"Take a good look! There are two Sages outside! If we charge out, we'll only be throwing our lives away!"
Wudang stepped forward at this moment and shouted to stop the impulsive crowd.
"Senior Sister Wudang!"
"If we don't go save Senior Disciple Brother, he'll die!"
Golden Spirit Holy Mother shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Wudang could only say hopefully, "Senior Disciple Brother Duobao won't be in trouble. Master's treasure is still protecting him."
"I'll say it again: absolutely no one is allowed to leave the island!"
Hearing this, the disciples could only watch everything happening outside in fury.
At that moment, outside Golden Ao Island.
Duobao's face was helpless, and he could only say sincerely, "Two Sages, the beasts I killed had already lost their intelligence."
"I killed them only to protect Golden Ao Island. I had no other intentions."
"I hope you can forgive me!"
Duobao knew that the two Sages had appeared here for more than just the beasts.
Especially since the two of them had injured him without saying a word the moment they arrived.
This beast tide had definitely been orchestrated by them!
But Duobao could do nothing about it. After all, the Two Western Saints held special statuses.
Most importantly, both of them were Sages!
No matter how furious he was inside, Duobao had to put on this show of sincerity. Otherwise, he would be giving the two of them another excuse to deal with Golden Ao Island.
But clearly, no matter how Duobao behaved, the shamelessness of the Two Western Saints far exceeded anything he could have imagined.
Jieyin sneered disdainfully. "Hmph! All tongue and no action!"
"Since you put it that way, are you saying that we were the ones who created these beasts?"
Zhunti also laughed shamelessly. "Your master is still in seclusion. Today, I'll stand in for your master and teach you how to conduct yourself!"
With that, Zhunti directly activated his Sage's might and struck it toward Duobao.
Boom!
Even though Duobao had many treasures protecting him, under the force of the Sage's might, Duobao was still sent flying, spitting blood.
"You two, are you planning to act unreasonable today?"
Duobao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said furiously.
"How could Junior Brother Tongtian have taught such an ill-mannered disciple?"
A black figure appeared in the skies above Golden Ao Island. Naturally, it was Yuanshi.
Yuanshi looked at Duobao, who was in a sorry state, and cursed, "You're quite something, Duobao! You were lucky enough to become Tongtian's disciple."
"How is it that you have no manners at all? Who gave you the courage to talk back to your two Martial Uncles?!"
"For someone like you, what face do you have left to remain in the Interception Sect?"
