Mortals Are Not Worthy

Grand Master Lingbao was tied to a tree, calling out to heaven and earth in vain.

It seemed this mountain was covered by an array that blocked spiritual senses, rendering his transmitted pleas for help completely useless.

A cold wind swept over him, and he shivered, his magic sealed.

"If I don't get revenge for this, I swear I'm no longer human!"

"Hiss, it's so cold..."

"Is there anyone who can save me..."

Grand Master Lingbao began to fall into despair.

Whoosh!

A flash of white light streaked past, and a beam of light severed the ropes binding him.

"Ah!"

Grand Master Lingbao froze for a moment, then plummeted from the hundred-meter-tall tree.

He tried desperately to fly, only to discover his magic had already been sealed.

Just as his head was about to smash into the ground, an invisible force caught him.

At that moment, Grand Master Lingbao saw the light!

Three beautiful fairies descended on clouds, slowly arriving and rescuing him from his predicament.

"So it's three fellow Daoists from the Jie Cult..."

"This humble Daoist thanks you!"

Grand Master Lingbao bowed to San Xiao and said.

"Pfft... No problem, no problem."

Bixiao saw him looking like someone who had been sold and was still helping to count the money, and almost gave the game away.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao shot her a glare, nearly ruining Senior Disciple Brother's good deed.

Grand Master Lingbao felt a bit awkward, to encounter several fairies at his most down-and-out moment.

Even with the demeanor of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, he couldn't bring himself to speak while bare-chested.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you in such a state?"

"Could it be you're practicing some secret art of the Chan Sect?"

Yunxiao feigned ignorance and asked Grand Master Lingbao.

"Or perhaps Fellow Daoist has some peculiar habit..."

Qiongxiao added with a jab.

Being stripped naked and tied to a tree alone in the deep mountains was indeed hard to explain.

"Uh..."

If he said he was robbed, wouldn't that bring shame to the Jade Void Palace?

If he didn't say anything, they would surely think he was some kind of pervert.

Grand Master Lingbao instantly felt that life was not worth living.

If he had a choice, he would have preferred to remain tied to the tree at this moment.

Seeing his hesitant expression, San Xiao could barely contain their laughter.

But they couldn't laugh; they even had to do their utmost to help him.

Yunxiao extended a finger and gently tapped Grand Master Lingbao, and a set of clothes appeared on him.

However, the clothes seemed a bit... off?

Why were they women's clothes!

"Ahem... Fellow Daoist, please don't mind..."

"We only have clothes like these."

"But they actually fit you quite well..."

Grand Master Lingbao: ...

Having suffered too much of a blow, he had lost the ability to speak and was too weak to retort.

May the Primordial World be destroyed quickly!

Living is too hard!

"Our magic is weak; we are powerless to help with the seal on Fellow Daoist."

Qiongxiao circled him a few times, finally sighing.

"Why don't we send Fellow Daoist back to Kunlun Mountain!"

Bixiao suddenly exclaimed, as if struck by inspiration.

Pfft!

Grand Master Lingbao spat out a mouthful of blood. His Dao heart finally shattered.

If he were sent back to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain dressed as a woman, he would definitely be expelled from the sect by Venerable Primordial. No, he would be purged.

What's more, it was disciples of the Jie Cult, whom Venerable Primordial hated the most, who sent him back. This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

"No!"

"I absolutely cannot return to the Jade Void Palace!"

Grand Master Lingbao hurriedly stopped them.

"If you ladies are willing to help, please send this humble Daoist back to my dojo!"

He quickly pleaded with the Three Fairies of Sanxiao.

"Alright then."

Although Bixiao was reluctant to give up this opportunity to get revenge on Venerable Primordial, she held back.

She reached out with her small hand and a surge of magical power pulled Grand Master Lingbao up, taking him back to his dojo.

Grand Master Lingbao finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he returned to his dojo, he could use other means to contact his master and fellow disciples.

He would definitely kill those damn guys then!

"I have one more request, please help me, three fellow Daoists!"

Grand Master Lingbao said somewhat awkwardly.

In fact, without him saying it, the San Xiao understood his intentions.

It was nothing more than asking them not to reveal what happened today.

The San Xiao immediately agreed wholeheartedly.

Grand Master Lingbao's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said that the Jie Cult and Chan Sect were like brothers, and his fellow Daoists from the Jie Cult were so kind.

Yunxiao and the others sneered, naturally not believing his nonsense.

Even though he looked so grateful now, he had another face hidden inside.

If it were any other being, they would likely have been killed to silence them by him once his powers were restored.

Everyone in the Chan Sect was just as hypocritical as he was.

According to what Senior Disciple Brother Zhao Gongming said when he returned a few days ago, that old man Yuan Shi attacked our severely injured Senior Disciple Brother in the Purple Heaven Palace. It was truly despicable.

If it weren't for the fact that Senior Disciple Brother still found Grand Master Lingbao useful, she would have scattered his ashes by now.

Grand Master Lingbao spoke pleasantries while trying to break the seal on his powers.

However, the cultivation of those three scoundrels was too profound, and he couldn't break it himself.

If the San Xiao didn't admit it themselves, Grand Master Lingbao would probably never know the truth.

How could he suspect the people who helped him in his time of need?

Moreover, those three guys were burly men, while the San Xiao were beautiful fairies. The difference was too great.

Senior Disciple Brother truly lived up to his name. This move was absolutely brilliant!

Grand Master Lingbao's mind was no longer on this. When he came back to his senses, he vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the place where he was attacked was no more than ten thousand miles from his dojo, and he should have arrived in the blink of an eye.

But why hadn't he seen Kongtong Mountain yet?

"Three fellow Daoists, haven't we arrived yet?"

Grand Master Lingbao asked them with suspicion.

"You didn't tell us where Kongtong Mountain is either,"

Bixiao said innocently, blinking her large eyes.

"Uh..."

"It seems that's indeed the case."

Grand Master Lingbao replied, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly.

These Three Fairies of Sanxiao had always lived on the Three Immortal Island in the East Sea. By the time they joined the Jie Cult, the Three Pure Ones had already separated, so they had naturally never been to Kongtong Mountain.

In this instant, Grand Master Lingbao's confidence swelled again.

These Three Fairies of Sanxiao were just country bumpkins from the east. How could they know that the Primordial World was full of hidden talents?

For example, his dojo, Yuanyang Cave on Kongtong Mountain, was one of the best immortal mountains and blessed lands in the Primordial World.

Perhaps even their Jie Cult's Golden Ao Island and Azure Palace couldn't compare to the spiritual energy here.

Grand Master Lingbao now had the look of a city dweller looking down on a country person.

He snorted twice and decided to let them know what a gap was!

"Three fellow Daoists, Kongtong Mountain is about three hundred miles ahead!"

"Please allow me to fulfill my duties as a host."

Grand Master Lingbao waved his hand grandly, with the air of a young master Ling who would pay for everything tonight.
