Yuanshi! You've gone too far!

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate watched the direction Lin Xuan had left with a grim expression.

The Golden Crow Transforming Rainbow Escape Technique was an escape-art divine ability jointly deduced by Demon Emperor Dijun and Taiyi.

It had long been known as the number one escape-art divine ability in the Primordial World.

Moreover, the power contained within the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Escape Talisman rewarded by the system was equivalent to the divine ability cast by Dijun and Taiyi after exhausting their lifelong cultivation.

Even with his current strength as a Saint, he could only helplessly watch as Lin Xuan carried the Three Sisters of Sanxiao away.

He had no time to cast a spell and stop them.

At that moment.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Great Formation, which had been maintained by the Three Sisters of Sanxiao, gradually dissipated.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect were revealed, sprawled haphazardly across the ground.

Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate sensed them briefly and discovered that the Three Flowers on their Crowns had been cut away, while the Five Qi in their Bellies had been scattered.

Clearly, all the cultivation of these prized disciples of his had been crippled.

Seeing this, Randeng hurriedly came over and said:

"Venerate, those maids from Sanxiao are truly despicable! They actually disregarded the bonds between fellow disciples and dealt such a vicious blow to our disciples!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate could not help recalling the proud bearing displayed by the Three Sisters of Sanxiao when facing his devastating strike.

He also recalled Lin Xuan's strength, which could defy the heavens and battle a Saint.

Then he compared them with the useless disciples before him.

The skin on his face twitched violently. With a sweep of his sleeve, he said furiously:

"Forget this bunch of useless trash!"

With that, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate turned and left directly.

Left behind, Randeng's eyes flickered for a while.

He then summoned Jiang Ziya and had him send the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect lying on the ground back to Jade Void Palace.

After making these arrangements, Daoist Randeng leisurely mounted an auspicious cloud and returned to Kunlun Mountain.

Laozi had always cultivated the path of purity and non-action. After witnessing this scene, he turned and glanced at Xuandu, the disciple attending him. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

By comparison, the disciple he had accepted was much less troublesome.

Elsewhere.

Lin Xuan had already ridden the rainbow light and brought the Three Sisters of Sanxiao back to Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island.

It seemed that returning to a familiar place, along with having their former Senior Disciple Brother by their side, had greatly eased the oppressive atmosphere surrounding the Three Sisters of Sanxiao.

Qiongxiao, the youngest of them, excitedly introduced every scenic spot on Golden Ao Island to Lin Xuan.

"Senior Disciple Brother, I personally dug this spirit spring!"

"Let me tell you a secret: tea brewed with this spring water tastes especially good."

"And there's more, Senior Disciple Brother! I specifically brought all these immortal cranes on the island back from Kunlun Mountain."

"But the two Innate Spirit Cranes we caught together back then were detained by Guangchengzi and the others. They said that innate spiritual treasures belong to those with virtue, and that creatures like us born from eggs or moisture weren't worthy of owning them."

At this point, Qiongxiao's mood visibly sank.

Seeing this, Bixiao and Yunxiao also recalled the faces of the Chan Sect disciples, and their expressions grew dim.

Seeing Qiongxiao like this, Lin Xuan reached out and rubbed her little head.

Then he said with a smile:

"It's all right. Now that Senior Disciple Brother is back, I definitely won't let you suffer that kind of humiliation again."

"How about Senior Disciple Brother takes you to seize those two Innate Spirit Cranes back?"

Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao quickly shook her head.

"No need, Senior Disciple Brother. The immortal cranes bred here on Golden Ao Island are much better than those on Kunlun Mountain. There's no need for us to take them back."

In truth, Qiongxiao was extremely reluctant to part with those two Innate Spirit Cranes.

After all, Lin Xuan had led all of them, his junior brothers and sisters, in spending a great deal of effort and time to capture them.

They had later been left to roam freely on Kunlun Mountain.

Who would have thought that the disciples and followers of Chan Sect would shamelessly claim them for themselves?

Qiongxiao had secretly grieved over this for a long time.

But now, she absolutely could not let her Senior Disciple Brother, who had only recently emerged from seclusion, risk his life over this matter.

After all, Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace was Second Martial Uncle's dojo.

If Senior Disciple Brother went there, he would certainly encounter danger.

She had already lost one elder brother. She absolutely could not lose her Senior Disciple Brother as well.

Although Qiongxiao was the youngest, she still understood these principles.

At that moment, a hearty laugh rang down from the sky.

"Hahaha! I was wondering why I kept feeling restless while comprehending the Dao at the Dao Ancestor's place. So it turns out that you, you lazy disciple Lin Xuan, have emerged from seclusion!"

"How is it? Isn't the Golden Ao Island your master built quite impressive?"

Following this voice, a Daoist wearing a jade-green crown and a dark Daoist robe slowly descended on an auspicious cloud.

He was none other than Lin Xuan's master, Sect Master Tongtian!

Lin Xuan immediately performed a Daoist salute and said loudly:

"This unfilial disciple, Lin Xuan, pays respects to Master."

Sect Master Tongtian discovered that Lin Xuan had already reached the Early Stage Quasi-Saint realm, and a trace of delight appeared on his face.

"Excellent, excellent! You reached such a cultivation level in less than ten kalpas. As expected of my eldest disciple, Tongtian's disciple. You're far stronger than those so-called Twelve Golden Immortals under Yuanshi."

"By the way, where is Zhao Gongming? Didn't he used to cling to you the most?"

"You've emerged from seclusion this time, yet he didn't even come out to welcome you?"

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, the expressions of Lin Xuan and the Three Sisters of Sanxiao instantly fell.

Seeing this, Tongtian faintly sensed that something was wrong and asked in a deep voice:

"Speak. What happened to him?"

Hearing Tongtian's stern question, Qiongxiao immediately replied between sobs:

"Master, I—I, my elder brother... his Dao has fallen."

Qiongxiao then reported everything that had happened recently to Tongtian.

When Tongtian heard that a disciple of his Interception Sect had been bullied like this, he instantly became so furious that his beard and hair bristled. He immediately let out an angry roar.

"Yuanshi! You've gone too far!"

When a Saint flew into a rage, the celestial phenomena instantly changed dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, violent winds howled across Golden Ao Island, while thunder rumbled incessantly.
