The Six Attendant Immortals Fall, Only Duobao Remains Uncertain

As everyone knew,

The Interception Sect's Seven Attendant Immortals

Were Jinguang Xian, Ling Ya Xian, Qiu Shou Xian, Wuyun Xian, Piluxian, Golden Hoop Immortal, and Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal.

Every one of them possessed the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Because they frequently attended Saint Tongtian,

Their standing in the Interception Sect was extremely high.

Aside from Saint Tongtian, the Jie Sect Leader,

Only Daoist Duobao, the Interception Sect's chief disciple, and Zhao Gongming, the eldest senior brother of the outer sect, outranked them.

Their status could already be called illustrious.

They possessed considerable strength and exceedingly high status.

Why would they betray the Interception Sect?

That was impossible!

After Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos heard Tongtian's words,

A feeling of disbelief instinctively rose in their hearts.

Yet just as they were thinking this,

Tongtian's voice reached their ears.

"Come here."

As his voice fell,

Tongtian's figure slowly floated above the main hall of Biyou Palace.

He sat upright on the green lotus meditation cushion,

A startling wave of baleful aura rippling from his body.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos

Hurriedly suppressed their shock and doubt,

Stepped forward,

And bowed respectfully to Tongtian.

"Greetings, Master. May we ask what orders you have for us?"

Tongtian's voice was filled with endless fury. Pointing at the attendant immortals before him, he said angrily,

"Gongming, do you know why your master is like this?"

Hearing Tongtian's words, Zhao Gongming's heart tightened, and he hurriedly replied,

"Master, did these six intend to betray the Interception Sect?"

Tongtian's face darkened, and his voice was filled with gloom.

"That's right!"

"There were seven Attendant Immortals in all. Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal openly practiced Western Buddhist teachings in the Interception Sect.

"I have already slain him!

"As for the remaining six, apart from Golden Hoop Immortal, the other five all had seeds of the Western Pure Land's profound principles hidden in their primordial spirits!

"If I hadn't permeated their primordial spirits with a Sage's magic power just now, they would have fooled me!

"In other words, these five attendant immortals' Dao hearts are no longer firm, and Western Teachings spiritual roots have begun to sprout within them!

"Although they hadn't noticed, they themselves bear considerable responsibility. Their years of arduous cultivation have effectively been wasted!

"Especially during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, they could very well bring about the Interception Sect's destruction!"

Hearing Tongtian's words,

Their hearts immediately tightened.

They hadn't expected the Two Sages of the West to have such a long reach!

"Master,

"Sages must not interfere in the Investiture of the Gods Calamity! They've already broken the rules this time!"

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words,

Tongtian looked west and said coldly,

"I know that as well! Naturally, I won't let them off lightly!

"The Two Sages of the West dared to act so brazenly while I was in seclusion!

"They really think I'm afraid of them!

"Once I've dealt with the Interception Sect's affairs, I'll teach them a lesson!"

By the time Tongtian said this, the anger in his heart had even turned into tangible flames of fury,

Slowly emanating from his body.

Whenever he recalled what had just happened, he had no way to vent his anger!

Originally,

He had summoned six of the Seven Attendant Immortals into Biyou Palace

Only to verify the truth of what was recorded in the Great Dao Diary.

Although Tongtian acknowledged that the Great Dao Diary was an extremely powerful magic treasure,

He found the second diary entry written in it difficult to accept.

So he had decided to verify it personally.

But he wouldn't have known without checking, and what he found gave him a fright!

Who could have imagined that, aside from Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal,

Five others had also been secretly targeted by those two bald donkeys, the Two Sages of the West!

And they themselves hadn't even realized it!

The spiritual roots hidden deep in their primordial spirits would erupt sooner or later.

If there were traitors on the Interception Sect's side then, the consequences would be unthinkable!

Judging by the number of these traitors,

There was no telling how many disciples in the Interception Sect the Two Sages of the West had plotted against!

At that thought,

The rage in Tongtian's heart grew even stronger.

Those two bald donkeys from the West really are shameless. They just love pulling such base, despicable tricks!

If not for the Great Dao Diary, I really wouldn't have thought of this!

But whose magic treasure is the Great Dao Diary? What kind of expert owns it?

It can actually foretell the future. If I hadn't seen what was recorded in it, who knows how long I would have remained deceived!

Just as Tongtian was thinking this,

Zhao Gongming's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Master, how should we deal with Ling Ya Xian and the other four immortals?"

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Tongtian came back to his senses and fixed his majestic, tiger-like eyes on Ling Ya Xian and the other four attendant immortals before him.

He pondered for a while before finally issuing a sacred decree.

"Ling Ya Xian and the other four attendant immortals were targeted by the Two Sages of the West only because their Dao hearts were not firm enough.

"Considering that this is their first offense and they have yet to cause the Interception Sect any losses, I will spare them the death penalty.

"Gongming, you are responsible for escorting the Six Attendant Immortals into the Interception Sect's Evil-Warding Great Formation, where they will face the wall and reflect on their faults for a hundred thousand years.

"Once their Dao hearts are firm and the profound teachings in their primordial spirits have dissipated, we will discuss the matter again!"

Hearing Tongtian's orders,

Zhao Gongming hurriedly cupped his hands and said,

"I respectfully obey your sacred command, Master."

As his voice fell, Zhao Gongming turned to the five pale-faced men. He couldn't help sighing and said helplessly,

"Junior brothers, let's go."

Hearing Zhao Gongming's voice,

Ling Ya Xian and Qiu Shou Xian, who were kneeling at the very front, both opened their mouths, seemingly wanting to beg for mercy.

But when they looked up and saw Tongtian, his whole body wreathed in baleful aura,

They both shuddered instinctively.

They wanted to speak but stopped themselves.

In the end,

They lowered their heads in despair.

No matter how they tried to argue,

They couldn't change the fact that they were at fault.

It was already generous of Tongtian to spare their lives.

But the Evil-Warding Great Formation was a place one could enter but never leave!

Once inside, perhaps they would never come out again.

How was that any different from death?

In the end,

The five immortals, Jinguang Xian, Ling Ya Xian, Qiu Shou Xian, Wuyun Xian, and Piluxian,

Were led away by Zhao Gongming, their heads hanging.

As Tongtian watched them leave, a flash of killing intent passed through his eyes.

Then he remembered something and instructed the Three Xiaos,

"Yunxia, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, over the next few days, investigate the primordial spirits of all the inner and outer sect disciples.

"Examine them carefully and see whether there are any more of the Western Teachings' pawns in the Interception Sect!"

When he finished giving his orders,

The Three Xiaos respectfully cupped their hands and slowly withdrew.

The moment they left,

A faint presence suddenly drifted out from the Three Xiaos,

Making Tongtian pause.

"Hmm?"

"The presence of the Three Xiaos and Zhao Gongming seems a little more solid than before..."

"There are no Western spiritual roots in their primordial spirits. Now that their primordial spirits have grown more solid, they must have encountered some fortuitous opportunity..."

Muttering to himself,

Tongtian didn't much care where they had found their fortuitous opportunity.

He cared more about how many traitors there were in the Interception Sect and the origins of the Great Dao Diary!

"Besides some of the Jie Sect Disciples, there's still Duobao, whose situation remains unknown."

"I only hope I won't find a spiritual root planted by the West in Duobao..."

"Sigh."

Though Tongtian thought this, he wasn't very confident...

After all, the things recorded in that diary had already proven true twice in a row!

In other words,

There was a very good chance that the Two Sages of the West had planted a Buddhist root in Duobao as well!
