Cao Guojiu Saves the Living

Penglai Immortal Island

Having obtained the fortuitous opportunity from the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Cao Guojiu flew towards West Ox Hezhou following Ao Changsheng's guidance.

"I heard that Yang Jian is about to wreak havoc in Primordial World Three Realms." Sun Wukong said, standing on the beach of Penglai Immortal Island and gazing in the direction of West Ox Hezhou.

"Um?"

What happened?

How did he know we were heading towards West Ox Hezhou?

"Could it be that he already predicted where we would go?"

People gathered around and started asking questions.

"Everyone, don't worry."

"He's just speculating; it won't lead to anything. The Heavenly Court is still fighting those Yaomo."

"Not entirely. Yang Jian is too narrow-minded. If he really finds him this time, I'm afraid he'll cause another uproar."

"Hmph, these Yaomo should have been eliminated long ago. If it weren't for their existence, how could our Human Race have fallen into such a predicament? They should be the ones to pay for all of this."

The crowd was immediately outraged.

"Alright, alright, let's not argue about this anymore. The most important thing now is to find a safe place to hide and wait for Yang Jian to arrive," said Cao Guojiu. He was a very intelligent man and naturally knew that this was not the time to quarrel. What he needed to do now was wait for Yang Jian to arrive.

"Alright, let's hide for now, lest we run into Yang Jian and those of us with insufficient cultivation have to step aside."

"Alright, let's go find a more secluded place."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Suddenly, Yang Jian's laughter rang out. He then appeared holding a communication talisman, saying with a laugh, "Gentlemen, you've all hidden so well, how could I not have discovered you? Now that I've found you, you'd better come out obediently."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the entire Penglai Immortal Island became heavy.

"Hmph, I'll see how capable you are." Cao Guojiu sneered, then his figure transformed into a stream of light and headed towards West Ox Hezhou, with the others following him into the vast sea.

"Hahaha, I'd like to see where you rats can run to. Aren't you all looking for my whereabouts?" Yang Jian's extremely arrogant voice rang out.

In the sea above Penglai Immortal Island.

In the pitch black, everyone was lying in wait.

"Hmph!" Cao Guojiu sneered. He was now in his Primordial Spirit state and could naturally see these things clearly. "Yang Jian, don't push your luck. Do you think you can stop so many people with your own abilities?"

"Heh, I can't stop so many people, but I can stop them from going to West Ox Hezhou." Yang Jian chuckled coldly.

"What do you mean?" Cao Guojiu asked, puzzled.

Yang Jian sneered, and the sound transmission talisman in his hand shattered instantly. Then, he stomped his foot, causing the entire seawater to churn.

A series of tsunami-like sounds rang out, followed by tens of thousands of massive underwater boulders hurtling towards Penglai Immortal Island.

The giant rock smashed through the sea, sending up waves that crashed towards Penglai Immortal Island.

Cao Guojiu's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly led everyone to flee in all directions.

Each cry was more terrifying and more violent than the last, churning up the entire sea surface and sending boulders tumbling down, eventually submerging the entire Penglai Immortal Island.

Although the people of Penglai Immortal Island were all quite powerful, they dared not directly withstand such an attack and instead used Law Technique or escape techniques to dodge.

"Hahaha, you rats really know how to hide! I'll see where you can run to. I'm giving you one last chance. Come out now, and I'll spare your lives," Yang Jian shouted coldly.

Those inside Penglai Immortal Island cursed under their breath, thinking, "This guy is really domineering; he's practically forcing us to come out!"

"Hmph, do you think you can kill us?"

The people on Penglai Immortal Island refuted this.

"I don't care, none of you will leave here alive today," Yang Jian said coldly.

"Yang Jian, aren't you going too far? Do you really think that just because your cultivation level is higher than ours, you can kill us all?"

Even if you can't kill us, we have the ability to escape.

"Hmph, Yang Jian, someone like you is not worthy to be the Heavenly Emperor. We are willing to follow His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

"Good!"

"Follow His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Hahaha, I thought you all had some backbone, but you're just a bunch of cowards. Very well, I was just worried about not being able to wipe you all out, today none of you will escape." Yang Jian laughed wildly.

"You..."

The people of Penglai Immortal Island were furious.

"Alright, I'm not playing with you anymore. I'll settle accounts with you slowly after I destroy West Ox Hezhou."

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Who?" Yang Jian was startled and immediately stopped, glancing around warily.

"Yang Jian, I am Li Jing, the eldest disciple of Penglai Immortal Island."

A young man dressed in white robes, carrying a long sword on his back and an ancient-style spear at his waist, stood in the air from a distance, looking like a refined gentleman.

"So it's Senior Brother Li Jing. I've long admired your name." Yang Jian cupped his hands slightly. Although he had never met Li Jing, he could tell from his demeanor.

"Haha, Junior Brother Yang Jian, you're too kind. This is, after all, our Penglai Immortal Island's territory. You'd better stop now, lest you cause big trouble, which wouldn't be good for anyone," Li Jing said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's not up to you." Yang Jian snorted coldly.

"Yang Jian, this is an internal matter of Penglai Immortal Island. I hope you will not interfere, otherwise we will definitely not let you off the hook. Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason. If you anger us, you will definitely not be able to bear the consequences," Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Heh, I, Yang Jian, have never been afraid of anything." Yang Jian sneered.

"Is that so? In that case, don't blame us for disregarding past relationships," Li Jing said coldly.

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately laughed loudly, "Li Jing, stop with the nonsense! Now that I have arrived at Penglai Immortal Island, I will not allow anyone to take the Eastern Emperor Bell from my hands, not even the Heavenly Emperor!"

"If that's the case, then don't blame us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large circular array suddenly appeared above Penglai Immortal Island. This array, in a crescent shape, enveloped the entire Penglai Immortal Island. Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force came and pulled all the cultivators on Penglai Immortal Island up, and then they disappeared, as if they had never existed in this world.

Yang Jian's face immediately darkened. He hadn't expected the people of Penglai Immortal Island to be so resolute, leaving him no room for resistance whatsoever.
