"Cough, cough~"
"That hurt like hell!"
With a Golden Core entering his belly, Shi Yu's depleted spiritual energy was gradually replenished. He struggled to sit up, feeling completely drained. He really couldn't handle the consumption of four supreme treasures at once.
"See, Senior Disciple Brother? You're suffering because you didn't listen to Third Martial Uncle!"
Tongtian squatted beside Shi Yu, disregarding his image, and lectured him.
"My Four Swords of Zhu Xian, combined with the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram, form the Zhu Xian Formation, the foremost killing array in the Primordial World!"
"Senior Disciple Brother, if you were to use it, you could casually wipe out a Demon Saint! It would be a piece of cake!"
Four immortal swords, enveloped in murderous aura, flew around Shi Yu, emitting a humming sound as if chiding him for not recognizing their worth.
"Hahaha!"
"Third Martial Uncle is joking~"
Shi Yu chuckled awkwardly, tactically scratching his head.
As if I, with my Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, could even set up the Zhu Xian Sword Formation! The third sword would probably fly out before I was even done, and I'd be backlashed by the boundless murderous aura.
I'd probably be a soul sitting here now, not my actual self!
"Third Brother, let me through first. I need to check if my disciple is alright?"
Taiqing arrived in front of Shi Yu. A stream of pure energy flowed into Shi Yu's body. After checking him repeatedly and confirming he was fine, Taiqing let out a long sigh of relief.
His Taiqing lineage had, at most, one Master, one disciple, two attendants, and one housekeeper. Oh, right, and a cow.
Thankfully, my disciple is alright. Otherwise, I'd have to go to the Demon Court and debate the Dao with Di Jun and Tai Yi.
"Senior Disciple Brother, never take such risks again! Don't make us worry." Yuanshi said with a stern expression.
Shi Yu nodded respectfully, "I will heed Martial Uncle's teachings."
Yuanshi nodded slightly, his eyes still holding a trace of worry. Shi Yu had followed them, the Sanqing, from their humble thatched hut all the way to where they were now, weathering all storms together.
Seeing Guang Chengzi and Duobao about to speak, Shi Yu directly gestured for them to wait, as he had something more important to attend to.
"Guang Chengzi, go and summon Huang Long for me. I want to discuss the Dao with him!" Shi Yu slowly got up from the ground, stretching his wrists.
Guang Chengzi took his leave, feeling a pang of envy for Huang Long. Senior Disciple Brother treats him so well, wanting to discuss the Dao with him as soon as he returns. I bet Junior Disciple Brother Huang Long's cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds! I, as his senior brother, can't be left behind either.
Not long after, Guang Chengzi and Huang Long arrived in a hurry.
"Senior Disciple Brother Shi Yu, what do you need me for?"
Huang Long looked at Shi Yu with a guilty conscience and chuckled awkwardly.
Shi Yu smiled faintly, looking at Huang Long. Shi Yu remained silent, merely stretching his muscles.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, I've recently refined a batch of excellent Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. Why don't you come and sample them!" Taiqing waved his horsetail whisk, smiling at Yuanshi and Tongtian.
"Alright, Second Brother, let's go!"
"Let's go together!"
Before leaving, Yuanshi gave Huang Long a look of encouragement, after all, he was his disciple.
After Shi Yu's years of nagging, although it hadn't changed Yuanshi's views on accepting disciples, in terms of treatment for his disciples, Yuanshi had almost achieved perfect equality. Huang Long had even received an Innate Spiritual Treasure!!!
Seeing his Master and Martial Uncles leave, Shi Yu threw a fiery, powerful punch, smashing it into Huang Long's face.
"Whoosh~"
Huang Long turned into a graceful arc and crashed heavily into Sanqing Lake, sending up high waves.
"Uncle, are you alright!"
Ao Guang, lying on the shore, shouted at True Person Huang Long, who had sunk to the bottom.
"Senior Disciple Brother, calm down!"
Duobao placed his chubby body in front of Shi Yu. He was very confused as to why Senior Disciple Brother would hit Huang Long.
"Senior Disciple Brother, what are you doing? Junior Disciple Brother Huang Long is still a…"
Guang Chengzi originally wanted to say that Huang Long was still young, but then he remembered that Huang Long was practically of Ao Guang's uncle's generation and swallowed his words.
"No, Junior Disciple Brother Huang Long is your junior brother!"
So Guang Chengzi changed his approach, knowing that Senior Disciple Brother was most susceptible to emotional appeals.
"Huang Long, how dare you tamper with the contents of the letter to deceive your beloved Senior Disciple Brother, huh!"
Shi Yu shook his tingling, sore palm. Damn it, as expected of the Dragon Clan, they're so tough and resilient! So resistant to blows.
"Senior Disciple Brother, what letter?"
"Yeah, Senior Disciple Brother!"
Facing the questions from Guang Chengzi and Duobao, Shi Yu handed them the letter that True Person Huang Long had given him.
"Don't you recognize the words 'Demon Emperor personally visits the East Sea Dragon Palace with the Ten Great Demon Sages'? Huang Long!" Shi Yu said calmly. Why calmly? Because he was tired.
After Guang Chengzi and Duobao finished reading the letter, their expressions turned extremely grim. According to what Senior Disciple Brother had said earlier, didn't that mean that twenty-one Quasi-Saints were fighting at the East Sea Dragon Palace at that time...
Senior Disciple Brother managed to return alive and intact, without missing any parts, and even killed a Demon Saint. Senior Disciple Brother is terrifying!
Senior Disciple Brother, let us two worship you! If we calculate it this way, the Demon Court has lost two Demon Saints directly or indirectly at Senior Disciple Brother's hands!
Duobao turned to look at Huang Long, who was still struggling in the water, and said indignantly, "Junior Disciple Brother Huang Long, how could you do such a thing?"
Huang Long climbed ashore, wiped his face, and said with a mournful expression, "Senior Disciple Brother, I was wrong!!"
"I just didn't want you to worry too much, and I thought Senior Disciple Brother's strength could handle it at the time."
Shi Yu let out a cold snort: "You thought? You thought?! You thought!"
"If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I might have been lost there today."
Shi Yu originally thought it would be a Demon Saint at most, but who knew that Di Jun would lead the Ten Great Demon Sages to follow. Were your Demon Clan here at the East Sea Dragon Palace for a team-building event?
Shi Yu moved his wrists again and walked towards Huang Long. This time, Duobao and Guang Chengzi did not stop him. Huang Long had indeed gone too far.
"Senior Disciple Brother, punish me to your heart's content!"
Huang Long closed his eyes as he watched Shi Yu approach him, looking as if he was at Shi Yu's mercy.
"Whoosh~"
A sound of wind breaking through the air came from his ear, followed by a loud bang behind him.
When he opened his eyes, a clenched fist was only a foot away from him. The water of Sanqing Lake behind him was stirred up by this fist wind, creating ripples that spread outwards.
"Huang Long, given that you betrayed your Senior Disciple Brother, your crime is heinous!"
"As the eldest disciple of the third generation of the Xuanmen, I shall punish you!"
Shi Yu's voice was low and suppressed, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions.
Upon hearing this, Huang Long felt a sense of powerlessness. He had only just become a disciple not long ago, and he was already being kicked out...
"I sentence you to confinement in Sanqing Lake for one Yuan Hui. Except for listening to Second Martial Uncle preach the Dao, you are not allowed to leave without permission!"
Shi Yu finally announced the punishment. He was always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted, of course, his soft heart was only for his junior disciples!
Just like a fist, the hard part faces outward, and the soft part faces inward.
Huang Long was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother, for your mercy, thank you, Senior Disciple Brother!"
Guang Chengzi and Duobao also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't expelled from the sect, it was fine.
This scene was all seen by the Sanqing gathered in the Eight Views Palace.
"Eldest Brother, you really chose the right person to take in Senior Disciple Brother!"
Yuanshi was extremely satisfied with Shi Yu. Not only did he respect his Martial Uncles and Master, but he also treated his junior disciples like this. He was truly a good disciple in the Primordial World.
"Senior Disciple Brother's conduct has a lot of my style. He is tolerant, generous, and values loyalty and righteousness!" Tongtian nodded repeatedly.
He then jokingly said, "How about this, Eldest Brother, you transfer Senior Disciple Brother to my tutelage!"
Taiqing heard this and smiled, then shouted towards the door:
"Golden Horn, Silver Horn, Little Moon, see the guests out!"
"..."
The smile on Tongtian's face suddenly froze.
"Eldest Brother, I was just joking!"
"Third Brother, I was joking too!"
At the foot of Kunlun Mountain
Sanqing Lake
A yellow true dragon swam in the lake. Huang Long, who had transformed into his true form, officially became a temporary ornamental dragon for Kunlun Mountain.
"Sigh~"
"Senior Disciple Brother is truly benevolent. Such a good Senior Disciple Brother is truly hard to find in the Primordial World, even with a lantern!"
Huang Long swam with butterfly strokes and doggy paddle, enjoying himself in Sanqing Lake. Dragons, after all, belong in the water. Their skin gets dry if they stay away from water for too long~~
"Right, the task Senior Disciple Brother gave me, I absolutely cannot forget!"
Huang Long always remembered the task Shi Yu had given him, and he dared not forget it for a moment.
That is, once he discovered anyone coming to seek tutelage from Third Martial Uncle, he was to directly drive them away by force. If he could exchange a few moves with them, he could let them into the Sanqing Temple.
If he encountered someone he couldn't defeat, he was to call Shi Yu over, and he, the Senior Disciple Brother of the Xuanmen, would personally assess them!
