True Person Huang Long's Tragic Incident

When all of the Human Race received the notice of the alliance between the Human Race and the Dragon Clan, the good days for the Dragon Clan still wandering the Primordial World had truly arrived.

Kunlun Mountain

Back then, the dozen or so humans who had intended to take masters had all successfully become disciples of the Three Pure Ones!

One human named Xuan Du had successfully entered the tutelage of Tai Qing, A human named Xuan Qing had become a disciple of Yuanshi, And the rest had all taken Sect Master Tongtian as their master! Among them, one named Liu Bai had even become Tongtian's senior disciple.

Xuan Du and Xuan Qing were brothers; the remaining humans who had entered Tongtian's tutelage were all their fellow classmates who had set out together. In this unfamiliar Kunlun Mountain, they stuck together! They often wandered around together!

That day, they were watching the commotion on Kunlun Mountain. A disciple under Primordial Heavenly Venerate, named True Person Huang Long, was having a particularly rough time—he was known as the Three-None True Person: no magic treasures, no divine abilities, no victories!

He was ostracized by all the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, often bullied, and it was said that even Primordial Heavenly Venerate disliked him!

Just then, they had received a notice from their clan: the Dragon Clan was now one of their own, the totem of the Human Race! An auspicious beast.

The few of them exchanged glances. Liu Bai pointed at Huang Long and said, "Hey... the one getting beaten up, is he a member of the Dragon Clan?"

Xuan Du and the others hesitated. They couldn't just assume someone was Dragon Clan just because his name was Huang Long!

At that moment, Xuan Qing stepped forward and said, "Stop guessing. Let's go together. He is Dragon Clan—I've seen his true form!"

The group walked toward Huang Long. The many disciples watching the scene saw this band of humans approaching and quickly parted to make way, lowering their heads and scurrying to the sides!

Some were even silently mourning for Huang Long. They had no idea how he'd managed to provoke these big shots. May fortune favor you!

"Everyone, stop right there!"

Xuan Du's shout silenced the disciples who were beating Huang Long.

Most of these were Jie Sect disciples. They glanced at Liu Bai, as if to say, It's up to you!

Since the clan hadn't specified whether the alliance was a secret, they couldn't exactly use that as a banner to act. So they thought to let Liu Bai resolve it using his status as senior disciple.

But Liu Bai didn't play by the rules. He directly asked Huang Long, "Huang Long! What's your relationship with the Dragon King of the East Sea?"

True Person Huang Long's heart skipped a beat. Have the Dragon Clan offended these baleful stars? As a disciple of Kunlun Mountain, he knew all too well what these humans were capable of. During the master-seeking trials, these humans had actually skinned, stripped the tendons, and roasted alive many living beings that had provoked them! And the key point was that the three sages had said nothing, and they had all successfully taken masters! Especially Liu Bai, who had even become Sect Master Tongtian's senior disciple!

Among them, Liu Bai was the worst! Countless living beings had died by his hands! He didn't know how the Clan Leader had offended this group, but he knew that a sage's disciple was not to be trifled with! Although he had been expelled from the Four Seas Dragon Clan, that was the Clan Leader's way of protecting him. After all, his innate karma was light; if he had stayed in the Dragon Clan, his karma would have slowly increased. For the sake of his future, Ao Guang, though reluctant, had stripped him of his clan membership!

"Senior Brother Liu Bai! Senior Brother Liu Bai! Please spare the Dragon Clan! Your junior brother is willing to suffer punishment on their behalf!" True Person Huang Long crawled toward Liu Bai, begging.

Seeing this, Liu Bai realized there really was a connection. He quickly helped him up and said, "Hey, hey, don't be like that. It's not bad news, don't worry! Just tell me, what's your relationship with Ao Guang and Ao Ling?"

True Person Huang Long, seeing that Liu Bai's expression didn't seem fake, gritted his teeth and said, "I am Ao Guang's cousin. Ao Ling is my niece."

Hearing this, Liu Bai slapped Huang Long on the shoulder. "Then it's settled! From now on, we're family. My cousin married your niece Ao Ling, got it?"

"What!"

Not only Huang Long was shocked; Xuan Du and the others were stunned too.

"That Liu Suifeng is your cousin?" Xuan Du asked in surprise.

"Yeah! Haha, I didn't expect it either. That kid sure stirred up a big commotion this time!"

With that, he addressed all the Three Sects disciples present: "From now on, Huang Long is one of mine. Anyone who dares to bully him is looking for trouble with me. Understood!"

Xuan Du and Xuan Qing also stepped forward and said, "And us!"

The other humans stepped forward too: "And us!"

True Person Huang Long's eyes were brimming with tears. After all these years, this was the first time he had ever felt protected!

"You lot, come here!"

Liu Bai pointed at the disciples who had been bullying Huang Long.

Then he pulled Huang Long, who was wiping his tears, over and said, "Go. Give each of them a slap!"

Hearing this, Huang Long was about to say he dared not, but then he recalled what Liu Bai had just said—they were family now. I can't embarrass Senior Brother Liu! He was about to go strike them!

Just then, one with long ears spoke up: "Senior Brother, how can you order an outsider to strike our sect's disciples? This is a violation of the sect rules! I'm going to report you to Master!"

Heh! Liu Bai's temper flared at that. What kind of thing dares to talk back to me, and in front of so many people, not giving me, the senior disciple, any face? Fine, fine, fine!

"Immortal Chang Er Ding Guang, is it? And you lot—Immortal Qiu Shou, Immortal Ling Ya, Immortal Jin Guang, right? Fine, fine, fine! I've been too generous with you!"

With that, an Immortal Binding Rope coiled around them, hoisting them into the air!

"Hey! Junior Brother Zhang Hao! Bring out that set of tools you use to 'serve' people. Lend them to me!" Liu Bai called out to a scrawny human in the crowd.

"Coming right up! Want me to do it? My skills are top-notch!" Zhang Hao walked over with a grin.

"No need! I'm going to make an example of them today!"

Taking the treasures Zhang Hao handed over, Liu Bai picked up a black fan covered in many strange inscriptions, giving it a very mysterious look.

"This is the Soul Splitting Fan. I traded for it with Ox-Head in the Underworld. It specializes in striking the soul. One light fan, hehe, the feeling... quite refreshing!" Zhang Hao explained on the side.

"That tower is the Bone Devouring Soul Locking Pagoda. It specializes in dissolving white bones and sealing souls. I traded for it with a Great Witch from the Eighteen Levels of Hell!"

"The worst one is that stone mill—same model as the Millstone Hell in the Eighteen Levels of Hell! Heh, I've got connections down below!" Zhang Hao said with a sinister grin.

He wasn't wrong; he did have people down there. The Mount Tai Lord was an elder of his family, and they were on excellent terms with the Underworld!

As the other disciples listened to Zhang Hao's explanation, their faces turned pale one by one, while Immortal Chang Er Ding Guang and his group were even more terrified.

Just as they were about to beg for mercy, they saw Liu Bai swing his fan directly at Immortal Chang Er Ding Guang! A gray stream of air surged toward him.

"You're the one acting arrogant! Lecturing me on sect rules, are you?!"

"Ah!"

"Going to tattle on me, huh?!"

"Go ahead and kill me if you've got the guts!!"

"Heh, you're not convinced, are you?!"

He directly increased the force of his fanning.

He beat them until they went silent before Liu Bai finally stopped.

"Senior Brother, won't this kill them?" Huang Long swallowed hard.

"Relax! They won't die. Besides, this is a sage's dojo—no one dares to collect their souls here."

At that moment on Upper Pure Peak, Tongtian watched Liu Bai's actions with a face full of dark lines. That brat was beating up fellow disciples again!

Unable to stand it any longer, he waved his hand, and everyone was instantly snatched up.

The many Jie Sect disciples still at the foot of the mountain were suddenly brought before Sect Master Tongtian. Seeing his figure, these disciples inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Tongtian's face darkened as he pointed at the unconscious figures on the ground and said to Liu Bai, "Explain yourself. What's this about?"

Liu Bai wasn't flustered in the slightest. He directly recited the excuse he'd prepared long ago: "Master, I've told you before—when taking disciples into our Jie Sect, we should pay attention to moral character. You never listened. Now look—right here on Kunlun Mountain, they dared to attack a fellow disciple. Even though Huang Long is a disciple of Uncle-Master Jade Pure Yuanshi and not particularly favored, in the end, we Three Pure Ones are one family!"

Liu Bai secretly glanced up at Tongtian's unchanged expression and continued, "Their beating of Huang Long—what will the disciples of the Sect of Elucidation think? How will Uncle-Master Yuanshi see this? If this continues, our three factions will surely grow estranged. When that happens, Master, how would you handle it? Your disciple only acted for the good of our Jie Sect."

"Oh? So according to you, should I thank you then? Look at what you've done to them! Is this how you discipline? You nearly destroyed their souls!"

Seeing that Liu Bai wanted to argue further, Tongtian waved his hand: "Say no more. Go back to your quarters and reflect in seclusion. Without my permission, you are not to leave!"

Liu Bai groaned inwardly: It's all over now!

During Liu Bai's seclusion, Jade Pure Yuanshi gazed toward Liu Bai's location and gave an almost imperceptible nod. At least among Third Brother's disciples, there are those who understand reason.
