As they spoke, Juliusun glanced over at Bixiao.
Hearing this, Bixiao was instantly enraged.
Before she could offer any explanation, Guangchengzi's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Bixiao."
"Shouldn't you rein in that temper of yours?"
"This is Kunlun Mountain, not Three Immortal Island. You can't just do whatever you want here."
"You even went so far as to forcibly take someone's spiritual medicine!"
Guangchengzi rebuked her.
Both he and Juliusun were disciples of Yuanshi, so naturally, they took Juliusun's side.
"What?"
After hearing Guangchengzi's baseless accusations, Bixiao's face flushed with anger. She said coldly:
"Guangchengzi!"
"Stop talking nonsense."
"What do you mean, I forcibly took his spiritual medicine?"
"Juliusun is the one twisting the truth. You're accusing me without even finding out what happened. What are you up to?"
At the same time, Zhao Gongming stepped forward and stared straight at Guangchengzi.
"Guangchengzi, aren't you being far too biased toward Juliusun?"
"Even if we're from the same lineage, shouldn't you at least be reasonable?"
As Zhao Gongming spoke, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Golden Spirit Mother, and the others all bristled with indignation.
"That's right. Guangchengzi is obviously protecting his own!"
"If you ask me, Juliusun is the one twisting the truth."
"Does he think no one from Teacher Tongtian's sect can stand up to him?"
"..."
Everyone protested angrily.
Anyone could see that Guangchengzi was deliberately taking Juliusun's side.
Before Guangchengzi could reply, Yellow Dragon True Person, Chijingzi, and the other Disciples of Yuanshi all spoke up in rebuttal.
"If Juliusun says Bixiao took the spiritual medicine, then it must be true."
"We cultivators would never falsely accuse someone!"
"..."
For a while, the two sides argued fiercely.
Each defended their own.
"Hmph!"
Bixiao gave an angry snort and flew forward, her mana surging around her.
She was clearly preparing to fight.
She had always been hot-tempered and had no desire to waste her breath explaining herself.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Bixiao's furious expression, Guangchengzi frowned and stepped forward.
Boom!
As he took that step, a powerful pressure burst from him. His cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal was on full display.
In an instant, Bixiao and the others were enveloped by Guangchengzi's pressure, their expressions turning grave.
"What?"
"Since you know you're in the wrong, Bixiao, are you going to resort to violence?"
Guangchengzi's words made Bixiao's face flush red with anger.
Her cultivation was inferior to Guangchengzi's. Just being caught in his pressure made her feel crushed, as if her body were mired in a swamp!
Zhao Gongming and the others were all furious and resentful.
None of them had expected Guangchengzi to use his strength to forcibly oppress them.
Juliusun watched with a smug expression. He narrowed his eyes at Bixiao and said triumphantly:
"Junior Sister Bixiao, why make things so difficult?"
"It's not worth it over a single spiritual medicine."
"Just admit your mistake and apologize to me, and we can put this matter behind us!"
Juliusun's words nearly made Bixiao's lungs explode with rage.
Juliusun was clearly the one who wanted to forcibly take the spiritual medicine.
Now he was twisting the truth and using Guangchengzi's support to bully them at will.
And he even wanted her to admit fault and apologize?
The more she thought about it, the harder it became for Bixiao to suppress her fury.
Guangchengzi saw this and said coolly:
"Bixiao."
"I advise you not to bring this on yourself!"
"If you want to fight me..."
Before Guangchengzi could finish speaking, a shout rang out:
"So what if she does?"
"Are you using that pressure to bully the disciples of Shangqing because you think no one is here to stand up for us?"
As the words fell, a streak of light descended from the sky.
Boom!
A pressure no weaker than Guangchengzi's instantly swept outward, dispelling the pressure he had forced upon Bixiao and the others.
The newcomer wore a plain Daoist robe and had a slightly plump figure. Who else could it be but Daoist Duobao?
Seeing Duobao, Bixiao and the others lit up with joy.
"Second Senior Brother!"
"Second Senior Brother is here!"
"That's wonderful!"
"..."
The disciples of Shangqing were all overjoyed.
After joining Shangqing Tongtian's sect, Duobao had become its second-ranking disciple.
Bixiao and the others knew that as well.
They also had a senior brother named Qin Mu, who had been traveling abroad and had yet to return.
With Qin Mu away, Duobao was the foremost disciple of Shangqing's sect. Tongtian had used every resource at his disposal to force Duobao's cultivation up to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
After all, he needed a disciple who could hold the fort for the time being.
Seeing Duobao arrive, Guangchengzi's expression darkened.
"Duobao, do you want to fight me?"
Duobao shot Guangchengzi a cold look and replied indifferently:
"What?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Today, let me test your strength, Senior Brother Guangchengzi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duobao didn't wait for Guangchengzi's reply. He casually waved his hand, and a golden seal appeared in it.
Duobao had obtained this treasure when traveling through the Outskirts of Buzhou Mountain with Qin Mu. As soon as the seal appeared, it shone with Five-Colored Radiance and came crashing down toward Guangchengzi.
Boom!
Guangchengzi let out a cold snort. Beneath his Eight Trigram Immortal Robe, he too summoned a seal.
It was none other than the Kunlun Seal!
The Kunlun Seal's might was unfathomable. It was said to strike without mercy, with a particular fondness for the top of one's head.
In the blink of an eye, the two mountain-sized seals collided in midair.
Clang!
The seals crashed together, mana surged, and a deafening roar rang out. The violent shock distorted and warped space.
Amid the turbulence, Duobao's seal was sent flying backward.
The Kunlun Seal's momentum remained undiminished. Wrapped in surging mana, it hurtled straight toward Duobao's head.
Duobao's expression tightened. With no time to think, he swept out his wide sleeve.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A stream of light after another appeared. More than a dozen magical treasures had been cast out by Duobao.
In an instant, the many treasures he had thrown formed the Duobao Array.
Duobao had acquired all these magical treasures while traveling with Qin Mu.
After joining Tongtian's sect, Duobao refined them and eventually devised the Duobao Array.
Boom!
At the same time, Guangchengzi's Kunlun Seal came crashing down, striking the Duobao Array head-on.
A terrifying roar rang out.
To Guangchengzi's shock, when his Kunlun Seal struck the Duobao Array, it only sent ripples through space before bouncing back.
"What?"
Guangchengzi was startled and quickly drew the Kunlun Seal back into his hand.
"I didn't expect you to have some skill, Duobao!"
Still shaken, Guangchengzi spoke coldly.
"Enough talk!"
"Guangchengzi, do you dare enter my array?"
Guangchengzi gave a cool laugh.
"What's so hard about breaking this array? It's child's play!"
With that, he surged forward and plunged straight into the Duobao Array.
Once inside, Guangchengzi wasted no time. He unleashed one technique after another, determined to break Duobao's array!
"Rumble..."
"Bang! Bang!"
Inside the array, Guangchengzi repeatedly summoned magical treasures to attack, unleashing every divine ability at his disposal.
Under his relentless assault, mana within the Duobao Array churned chaotically, and its light dimmed.
