Grand Master Lingbao, Screwed Over Until He Cried

Grand Master Lingbao spotted his own dao field from far up in the sky.

Kongtong Mountain was shrouded in drifting clouds and mist, with immortal cranes wheeling through the air—a sight worthy of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage at a glance.

Brimming with pride, he introduced it to the Three Fairies of Sanxiao. "This is my Yuanyang Cave on Kongtong Mountain."

"You ladies probably haven't seen such an immortal mountain and blessed cave dwelling beyond the Eastern Sea, have you?"

There was more than a hint of boasting in his words.

"Uh... indeed, we've never seen a cave dwelling like this..."

Bixiao covered her mouth and snickered.

Grand Master Lingbao frowned. This wasn't right!

By all rights, shouldn't they be acting like country bumpkins who had never seen the world, then weeping and begging to become his dao companions?

Only then did Grand Master Lingbao turn back to look at the cave dwelling, only to discover that nothing remained but a pitch-black, gaping hole.

???

This was his Yuanyang Cave?

He stared blankly at the surroundings. Everything looked so familiar.

Grand Master Lingbao remembered clearly that he had activated the protective formation before leaving.

For some reason, three burly figures surfaced in his mind.

"It must have been them!"

Grand Master Lingbao immediately gnashed his teeth in fury.

He did not have the time to attend to the three fairies and hurried into the cave dwelling to inspect the situation, hoping desperately that it would not be as bad as he feared.

Meanwhile, a rumor began spreading through the mountains and wilderness.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"Grand Master Lingbao of the Chan Sect likes wearing women's clothes."

"Huh? No way! Venerable Primordial, the Chan Sect's saint, cares most about his dignity. How could he take such a perverted disciple?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's also..."

With a crack, two divine bolts descended from the heavens and turned the two beings discussing the matter into ash.

A saint's Primordial Spirit was entrusted to the Heavenly Dao; it could be said that they were omniscient and omnipotent. Their words had clearly insulted a saint.

Within Jade Void Palace, Venerable Primordial let out a cold snort, his mood having already sunk to rock bottom.

From that day onward, although the beings of the Primordial World no longer dared mention it, they had already equated Chan Sect disciples with women's clothing in their hearts.

On Golden Ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian's expression became exceedingly strange when he learned of this matter.

He imagined Venerable Primordial dressed as a woman and immediately lost his composure.

What Pangu Orthodox Lineage? Wasn't it a women's-clothing enthusiasts' club?

Whether intentionally or not, his hearty laughter shook the entire Primordial World.

Naturally, the true culprits behind this matter were still the Three Fairies of Sanxiao.

They had deliberately dressed Grand Master Lingbao in women's clothing and taken him flying low through the air.

On the way back to Kongtong Mountain, they had deliberately circled around the surrounding area several times, terrified that the beings below might fail to see him.

At this moment, Grand Master Lingbao remained completely unaware, letting out a marmot-like scream inside his own cave dwelling.

"Ah!"

Those damned bastards had not only robbed him, but had even ransacked his entire fortune while he was away from home.

"Who did this?"

Grand Master Lingbao was clearly on the verge of going berserk.

Seizing the right moment, the Three Fairies of Sanxiao captured a shifty-looking being lurking around Yuanyang Cave and questioned it.

It was a fox demon that had cultivated for several hundred years. Though it had gained intelligence, it had yet to successfully take human form.

Grand Master Lingbao seized it by the throat and roared, "Speak! Who did this?"

The fox demon was nearly strangled to death. Coughing, it said, "It was a group of bald men..."

Grand Master Lingbao: ???

"Are you sure it wasn't three burly men dressed in black, their faces covered and headscarves wrapped around their heads?"

Seeing that the fox demon was nearly scared stiff, he believed more than half of it and released it.

Taking pity on it, Yunxiao removed a brocade pouch from her waist as compensation.

The fox demon thanked them profusely, then bolted out of the cave dwelling in a flash and vanished without a trace.

It crossed mountains and ridges all the way to another cave dwelling, where Zhao Gongming and the Ten Heavenly Lords were waiting.

The fox demon chuckled, shook its body, and transformed into Daoist Duobao.

"The rest is in the hands of our three junior sisters. We still have other matters to attend to."

After giving them his instructions, the group left the Primordial World together and headed toward the Eastern Sea.

On Golden Ao Island, Ye Changqing stood on the viewing platform with his hands behind his back, gazing out over the vast sea, an inscrutable smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Since the Western Sect and the Chan Sect could plant their own spies within the Jie Cult, why could he not return the favor in kind?

Among the disciples expelled from the Jie Cult alongside Immortal Pilu, there had been an undercover agent arranged by him.

Now that man had been converted by the Western Sect and had successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks.

Not long ago, the spy had already sent word back.

Since the Two Sages of the West wished to probe his true capabilities, he might as well arrange a grand show for them.

Ye Changqing slowly unclenched his fist, revealing a gray, misty bead in his palm.

An invisible force spread from the Chaos Bead, shrouding the entire Eastern Sea and instantly throwing the heavenly secrets into disarray.

This made things seem all the more secure.

At that very moment, the Two Sages of the West, together with Buddha Pilu and the other disciples expelled from the Jie Cult, had already left the Western World and arrived in the Primordial World.

Wherever they passed, they were like geese stripping every feather as they flew by. Anything with even slightly denser spiritual energy was swept into the sleeves of the Two Sages of the West.

Pocketing whatever they could lay hands on had been carved into their bones.

This also happened to give Daoist Duobao and the others more opportunities.

They arranged the items looted from Grand Master Lingbao's cave dwelling across barren islands beyond the sea.

Daoist Duobao took out the brocade pouch Yunxiao had given him. Grand Master Lingbao's Demon Slaying Sword, Dragon Tiger Seal, and Daoist robe were all inside.

He placed these items separately atop a mountain peak.

The moment the Two Sages of the West and their many disciples stepped into the Eastern Sea, they saw several rays of light shooting into the heavens.

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti's eyes both lit up. They laughed loudly and said, "Everything here is fated to our West!"

And so, following Daoist Duobao's arrangements, they began walking step by step into the trap.

In the entire Primordial World, Ye Changqing alone dared scheme against Sages.

The howling dragon's roar from a distant island drew the attention of the Two Sages of the West.

With one step, Daoist Jieyin arrived on the island. He reached out with a great hand, subdued a dragon and a tiger, and transformed them into a precious seal in his palm.

Daoist Zhunti also arrived with the many disciples. With a stretch of his hand, he trapped a streak of sword light. Once its sharp edge receded, it became a treasured sword.

There was also radiant rosy light spreading in all directions as a Daoist robe entered their sight.

Daoist Jieyin pointed with a finger, and the rosy light flew onto Buddha Pilu's body, automatically dressing him.

The Two Sages of the West then temporarily lent him the Dragon Tiger Seal and Demon Slaying Sword, hoping that spiritual treasures would win over their hearts.

"So long as you work harder for the Western World in the future, there will be spiritual treasures, and plenty of other benefits besides."

Buddha Pilu had never received a treasure bestowed by Sect Master Tongtian during his time in the Jie Cult. In an instant, he was so grateful to the Two Sages of the West that tears streamed down his face.

Just as he was about to express his loyalty, an enraged roar thundered from the horizon.

"You bald thief, how dare you!"

Grand Master Lingbao came charging over with the San Xiao.
