"What? Planning to gang up on me?"
Seeing that they meant to attack, Duobao showed no fear. With a sneer and a sweep of his sleeve, he conjured hundreds of Acquired Spirit Treasures gleaming with multicolored light and sent them crashing toward Guangchengzi and the others like a raging storm.
"Where did this rat spirit get so many treasures?!"
Guangchengzi and the others paled with shock, scrambling frantically to defend themselves.
On a secluded bank of clouds outside Kunlun Mountain.
Xingtian was keeping watch over Kunlun Mountain with several members of the Heavenly Court Imperial Guard, bored out of his mind.
"Marshal, look over there!"
An imperial guardsman pointed at the fierce battle erupting on the plain and exclaimed in surprise, "The disciples of the Chan Sect and the Interception Sect have actually started fighting!"
"Oh?"
At those words, Xingtian immediately perked up.
He looked closely and saw Daoist Duobao single-handedly battling Taiyi, Guangchengzi, and several other Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. He even seemed to have the upper hand.
"Tsk, tsk. This little rat is quite something."
Xingtian rubbed his chin, wearing the expression of a spectator who would happily fan the flames. "He's throwing treasures around as though they cost nothing."
"Marshal, should we intervene?" the guardsman asked.
"Intervene? What for?"
Xingtian rolled his eyes. "This is an internal family squabble among the Three Pure Ones. We can just enjoy the show."
"Still, this is rather interesting."
Xingtian took out a communication jade slip and sent a full account of what had happened back to Mount Buzhou.
Then he stretched out comfortably on the clouds, taking out fruit to snack on while he and his men offered their opinions on the battle below.
"Honestly, Taiyi's handling of that Three Dragons Fire Shield is far too crude.
