Saint's Methods, Setting Off for Jin'ao

"He, he..."

"When the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons Battle happened, he had already broken through to Mysterious Immortal."

Huanglong Zhenren struggled, breaking free from the rock wall, and knelt before Yuanshi again, his head bowed so low it nearly touched the ground.

"You think there's a difference between Heavenly Immortal and Mysterious Immortal, don't you?"

"Disciple didn't mean that!"

"That person's cultivation wasn't high, but he wielded two Xiantian Lingbao. This disciple had no Magic Treasure to defend himself, which is why I lost."

Huanglong Zhenren continuously made excuses for himself.

"What, are you implying I didn't bestow you with a Magic Treasure?"

"Disciple wouldn't dare!"

Huanglong Zhenren's head directly struck the ground.

At this moment, he wished he could slap himself twice.

If your mouth can't speak properly, can't you just shut it?

Yuanshi walked in front of Huanglong Zhenren in a single step.

"Since neither the Xuanling Fruit nor the Yin Yang Jiao Dan were obtained, why didn't you inform me?"

Huanglong Zhenren cautiously lifted his head, glancing at Yuanshi from the corner of his eye.

"Disciple was no match for a Heavenly Immortal and brought shame to the Chan Sect, so I dared not inform you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying pressure descended.

With a scream, Huanglong Zhenren was directly pressed into the ground.

A cloud of blood mist erupted around him, and all his bones were crushed.

The only reason he still had a breath left and wasn't dead wasn't because he could survive under Yuanshi's pressure.

It was because Yuanshi had shown mercy.

Yuanshi looked at the blood-covered Huanglong Zhenren, his eyes filled with rage.

Actually, he had truly intended to kill Huanglong Zhenren at first.

Not only did they fail to get the Xuanling Fruit, but they would also have the Demon Race Heavenly Court coming after them.

When had his Chan Sect ever suffered such a loss?

But no matter what, Huanglong Zhenren was someone he personally brought into the Chan Sect.

Killing him outright would still be somewhat improper.

Following that, Yuanshi summoned Chijingzi.

After all, from Huanglong Zhenren's account, Chijingzi was also aware of this matter.

About fifteen minutes later, Chijingzi arrived.

Upon arriving at the scene, Chijingzi instantly felt his scalp tingle.

Although Yuanshi wasn't releasing any Saintly Might, the surrounding atmosphere still made Chijingzi, a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, feel suffocated.

Especially after seeing Huanglong Zhenren's tragic state.

Chijingzi inwardly thought, "This is bad."

"Could this Huanglong Zhenren have lost to Xuan Jun!"

"Disciple greets Master!"

Chijingzi looked at Yuanshi nervously.

"Since you knew about Huanglong Zhenren's matter, why didn't you inform me?"

Yuanshi wasn't in the mood to waste words with Chijingzi and asked directly.

"It's over!"

Now Chijingzi was certain Huanglong Zhenren had lost.

With the slightest carelessness, he too would suffer undeserved disaster.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have helped Huanglong Zhenren back then."

But now, he wasn't in the mood to blame Huanglong Zhenren.

"My cursed mouth, quickly think of what to say."

"Replying to Master, this disciple was indeed aware of Junior Brother Huanglong's situation."

"This disciple believed that a mere Mysterious Immortal was not worthy of Master's personal intervention."

"Therefore, this disciple intended to find this person himself and enhance the prestige of the Chan Sect."

"It's just that I didn't expect this person to be quite skilled. This disciple still hasn't found out anything about him. I request Master's punishment."

At the critical moment, Chijingzi was quite clever.

He didn't try to shift the blame but instead admitted his mistake.

He even found a good excuse for his greed for the innate spiritual treasure.

As it turned out, his words were effective.

Yuanshi's mood improved slightly after hearing this.

He pointed his right hand at Huanglong Zhenren, and a golden light landed on him, slightly healing his injuries.

"I want to see who dares to be an enemy of my Chan Sect repeatedly!"

In fact, with his status, he shouldn't have bothered with this matter.

But this person's actions truly showed no regard for the Chan Sect.

He wanted to see who this mere Mysterious Immortal was, daring to oppose the Chan Sect like this!

Yuanshi formed a hand seal and began to deduce Lu Changsheng's identity.

A few breaths later, a hint of surprise appeared in Yuanshi's eyes.

With his abilities, deducing a Mysterious Immortal was not difficult at all.

Yet now, he couldn't find any trace of Lu Changsheng.

What was going on?

Disbelieving, Yuanshi activated his Saint power and deduced again.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Yuanshi's deduction was complete, but the result was the same as the first time.

Protected by the System, even a Saint's deduction would fail.

Seeing Yuanshi's displeased expression, Huanglong Zhenren couldn't help but ask.

"Even Master can't deduce it?"

As soon as he said this, Chijingzi glared fiercely at Huanglong Zhenren.

If you have something to say, say it.

Don't drag him down if you're seeking death.

"If you spout nonsense again, I'll discipline you on Master's behalf!"

Fortunately, Yuanshi wasn't in the mood to deal with Huanglong Zhenren.

At this moment, Yuanshi was full of doubt.

Although he didn't know Lu Changsheng's background.

He was extremely confident in his own strength.

As a Heavenly Dao Saint, there were very few things in the entire Honghuang he couldn't find out.

For a Mysterious Immortal to evade his deduction, there were only two possibilities.

First, in addition to those two innate spiritual treasures, this person possessed other magic treasures, and they must be at least Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to shield him.

Second, this person had a Saint backing him. As long as a Saint intervened, they could also avoid his deduction.

Wait, the matter of the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons happened in the East Sea.

The East Sea incident likely wouldn't escape Tongtian's notice.

Could it be...

This person was related to Tongtian?

Various possibilities flashed through Yuanshi's mind.

But the relationship between the Jie and Chan Sects, though not good, hadn't reached this point, had it?

Would a Saint like Tongtian scheme against a disciple of the Chan Sect?

Even if he was targeting Huanglong Zhenren, why would he send a Mysterious Immortal?

This matter shouldn't be related to Tongtian.

Yuanshi made his judgment.

Could he then go to Tongtian and ask for his help in deducing the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons incident to find out the other party's identity?

As soon as this thought appeared, Yuanshi dismissed it!

When Tongtian was present just now, he hadn't mentioned the East Sea Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons incident at all.

Either Tongtian knew and was waiting for him to ask, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

If he went to Tongtian then, what would he say? That he couldn't deduce the identity of a Mysterious Immortal?

He couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Or perhaps, Tongtian was unaware of the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons incident.

This situation means I absolutely cannot go to Tongtian to investigate this person.

The more people who know about Chan Sect's embarrassing affairs, the better, especially Jie Sect!

Yuanshi frowned.

When did a mere Mysterious Immortal start giving him such a headache?

What was he even thinking?

There were only six Heavenly Dao Saints in the Honghuang. How could a mere Mysterious Immortal possibly have a Saint backing him?

In other words, the other party was relying on some kind of special Magic Treasure to evade his Deduction.

He refused to believe this Magic Treasure could protect the person forever.

As soon as their aura was revealed, he would be able to track them down.

At that time, he would definitely make this person understand the consequences of becoming an enemy of his Chan Sect!

After clearing his thoughts, Yuanshi looked at Huanglong Zhenren.

"I can give you one more chance."

"If you can defeat one Demon Commander during the next battle with the Demon Race Heavenly Court, it will count as making amends for your mistakes."

"But if you fail again, I won't mind replacing one of the Jade Void Twelve Immortals."

Huanglong Zhenren was overjoyed. He had finally passed this hurdle.

"May I ask Master, about the one who stole my Xuanling Fruit..."

Before he could finish, Chijingzi interrupted him.

"Disciple thanks Master on behalf of my junior brother."

"I will take my junior brother back to heal his injuries first."

Afterward, with Yuanshi's tacit approval, Chijingzi quickly pulled Huanglong Zhenren away.

"Senior Brother, that person harmed me to this extent. Why didn't you let me ask Master?"

Outside Kunlun Mountain, Huanglong Zhenren asked.

"What you should know, Master will naturally tell you. What you shouldn't know, don't ask."

"Give me back the Yin Yang Mirror!"

Chijingzi snatched back the Yin Yang Mirror and rushed back to Yunxiao Cave without looking back.

He wanted to stay far away from Huanglong Zhenren to avoid being implicated.

A Towering Hatred surged in Huanglong Zhenren's eyes.

He remembered this humiliation today!

Not far from Kunlun Mountain.

Above the clouds, Tongtian formed the final hand seal.

He looked in the direction of Yu Xu Palace, a playful glint in his eyes.

Since Huanglong Zhenren had lost, the matter of the Yin Yang Twin Flood Dragons could no longer be kept secret.

He had already used his own methods to hide the numerous clues related to Lu Changsheng.

This way, even Yuanshi would not be able to easily discover Lu Changsheng's identity.

Actually, he wasn't afraid of Yuanshi finding out about Lu Changsheng.

After all, with him around, it was impossible for Yuanshi, a Saint, to harm a disciple of the Jie Sect.

He just didn't want Yuanshi to have an easy time.

Of course, he didn't know that even without his intervention to help Lu Changsheng evade Yuanshi's investigation, Yuanshi wouldn't have been able to find Lu Changsheng, who was protected by the System.

Afterward, Tongtian continued his journey back to Golden Ao Island.

He also had to make some preparations for the Jie Chan Battle.

On the other side, Lu Changsheng stood in front of his Cave Mansion.

He had no idea that because of him, Huanglong Zhenren had almost died on Kunlun Mountain.

During this period, he had been cultivating.

With the aid of the Yin Yang Spirit Merging Pill, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Mysterious Immortal realm.

Today was the day the Jie Sect distributed resources, and also the day he was scheduled to fight Dingguang Xian.

To be honest, he didn't even spare Dingguang Xian a second thought.

The outcome of this battle was a foregone conclusion.

It was merely a question of how many of his techniques he would have to reveal.

He intended to use Dingguang Xian as a stepping stone to improve his standing within the Jie Sect.

He hoped Tongtian would witness this battle.

Departing for Golden Ao Island!
