Of course, the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree in Chen Xuan's hand was not the real Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree.
It had merely been transformed from the Diamond Cutter. At most, it was like giving the Diamond Cutter a new skin.
Though it was not the true Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree, it still possessed the ability to collect magical treasures. Naturally, it could pass for the real thing.
Seeing the magical treasure he had thrown out get effortlessly taken away, Daoist Duobao grew even more furious.
With a wave of his hand, he hurled out more than a dozen magical treasures. Unfortunately, before the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree formed from the Diamond Cutter, they could not display the slightest effect.
Just as Daoist Duobao was about to find some way to regain his dignity, Jin Guang Xian stepped forward.
He bowed toward Chen Xuan in midair. "Martial Uncle Zhunti, are you truly willing to accept us as your personal disciples?"
Chen Xuan nodded and said solemnly, "Not only will I accept you as my personal disciples, I will also bestow upon you the magical treasures I obtained from Treasure Distribution Cliff.
"I guarantee that when you travel the prehistoric world in the future, you will be able to hold your heads high, and no one will dare look down on you in the slightest."
Jin Guang Xian stood there with a thoughtful expression, and this caused Daoist Duobao's fury to surge.
"Junior Brother Jin Guang, have you forgotten how well Eldest Senior Brother treated you? Without Eldest Senior Brother, you likely would not even have had the chance to take human form.
"Without Master's careful teachings, how could your cultivation have advanced so rapidly?
"If you truly commit the act of betraying the sect today, do not blame me for turning ruthless. I will cleanse the sect on behalf of Master and Eldest Senior Brother."
As Daoist Duobao spoke, a treasured sword appeared in his hand.
Yet Jin Guang Xian shook his head indifferently. "Senior Brother Duobao, as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances.
"Besides, Eldest Senior Brother can barely protect himself now, and Master and the others will likely lose their chance to become saints as well.
"And we are not personal disciples. Why should we bury our futures alongside them?"
As he spoke, Jin Guang Xian retreated, widening the distance between himself and Daoist Duobao.
Then, with a flash, he appeared directly beside Chen Xuan.
This made Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Wu Yun Xian, who stood nearby, boil with rage.
After exchanging nods, they rose into the air and charged straight at Jin Guang Xian.
At the same time, Qiu Shou Xian cursed at Jin Guang Xian, "I never imagined you were such a vile and shameless wretch.
"I, Qiu Shou Xian, must have been blind to have treated you as a brother. Today, I will take your life and give Eldest Senior Brother an explanation."
Unfortunately, Qiu Shou Xian and the others were utterly incapable of doing anything to Jin Guang Xian. Instead, Chen Xuan casually waved them back to where they had been standing.
Jin Guang Xian could not help shaking his head and sighing at Qiu Shou Xian and the others, as though they were beyond saving.
He also did not forget to address the several hundred disciples of Tongtian before him. "Junior brothers and sisters, think carefully about your futures.
"Do not ruin your bright prospects over a momentary sense of loyalty. Opportunities do not come every moment."
Jin Guang Xian's words exploded like thunder in the hearts of every one of Tongtian's disciples.
Some of the weak-willed had already begun to waver. Some even stepped forward directly.
Seeing that people were truly preparing to betray the sect, Daoist Duobao became even more enraged.
He immediately sent the immortal sword in his hand flying, intending to take the lives of those preparing to betray the sect.
Unfortunately, before his immortal sword could harm anyone, Chen Xuan took it away.
"You need not fear him. With me here, no one can stop you from abandoning darkness and turning toward the light."
This was like another shot of strength, making those disciples whose resolve had wavered finally make up their minds.
In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty people stepped out and stood properly behind Chen Xuan.
This made Daoist Duobao, Qiu Shou Xian, and the others all twist their faces into Zheng Ning expressions.
They wished they could rush forward at once and tear Daoist Zhunti before them into pieces.
Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation left them helpless. They could only keep cursing the traitors.
At this moment, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian finally stepped forward and said to Daoist Duobao, "Senior Brother Duobao, why do this?
"Even if Eldest Senior Brother were here today, he likely would not stop them from turning toward the West.
"Because they are simply unworthy of being Eldest Senior Brother's junior brothers. Even if they did not leave, Eldest Senior Brother would drive them away.
"Now that they have betrayed the sect, however, they will surely suffer Eldest Senior Brother's relentless pursuit. One day, they will regret the decision they made today, but by then, it will be far too late for regret."
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's words made Daoist Duobao nod repeatedly.
They also caused some disciples who had been preparing to betray the sect to dispel the thoughts that had just arisen in their hearts.
At the same time, Chen Xuan could not help feeling deeply puzzled. Could Chang Er Ding Guang Xian really have changed his ways?
Although Chen Xuan still harbored doubts, what was happening before him was real.
This made Chen Xuan feel somewhat strange, but he could not tell where the problem lay.
He simply chose to ignore Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and said, "If you miss today's opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your lives.
"I will give you one final chance to choose. Those willing to follow me to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, stand behind me."
At the same time, countless magical treasures appeared in Chen Xuan's hand. One after another, they radiated dazzling, multicolored treasure light above his head.
"Step forward and join the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. These magical treasures will all be yours."
Temptation—naked, blatant temptation. At last, more people stepped forward. After all, the temptation of Innate Spiritual Treasures was simply too great.
One after another, more than thirty people stepped forward and stood properly behind Chen Xuan.
After that, no one else chose to leave Daoist Duobao's side. Instead, they all glared furiously at the people behind Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan knew it was time to end this. Otherwise, once his master Tongtian returned, things would be difficult to resolve.
He immediately turned to Jin Guang Xian and said, "Junior Brother Jin Guang, cripple their cultivation and drive them out of Kunlun Mountain."
Hearing Daoist Zhunti address Jin Guang Xian as junior brother had already greatly shocked everyone.
Combined with what followed, it left everyone even more bewildered.
At this moment, Jin Guang Xian bowed to Daoist Zhunti before him. "Understood, Eldest Senior Brother."
After saying that, a small banner flew up from his hand. Green lotuses flew from the banner and covered the traitors beneath one lotus after another.
Most of those traitors were Celestial Immortals, while the strongest among them was merely a Profound Immortal. How could they possibly withstand the restrictions of the Green Lotus Precious Color Banner?
In the blink of an eye, they lost their ability to move. Even if they wanted to flee, they lacked the strength to do so.
At the same time, mysterious light flashed around Chen Xuan, and he had already returned to his original appearance.
This left those disciples who knew Chen Xuan looking at one another in confusion.
They could not help secretly thinking, What act is Eldest Senior Brother putting on this time?
