Lady Shiji Battles Nezha! Defeated in an Instant

Skull Mountain, White Bone Cave.

Li Jing and his son Nezha emerged from underground and revealed themselves.

"You wait here." Li Jing turned around and said to Nezha. Without waiting for Nezha's reply, he walked towards the White Bone Cave with a cold face.

Having traveled this far Earth Escape, he had become unusually calm and pondered for a long time.

Although Nezha was born with extraordinary abilities and could easily unleash the power of magical treasures, he was still young and his cultivation was not particularly strong.

Although it's not quite appropriate to say it like that, it's impossible for Nezha to have shot down the Lady Shiji from 600 million miles away.

Certainly.

Li Jing was not trying to exonerate Nezha from his crimes.

Regardless of the reason, Nezha was ultimately at fault first.

Li Jing simply... he only wanted to plead for mercy for his child, hoping that Lady Shiji would show leniency.

It's not a good way to put it.

However, this time the feud between Nezha and the East Sea Dragon Palace is different. In the East Sea Dragon Palace East Sea who died, but this time, it was just one of Shiji's attendants who died.

Honestly.

It was just a child who died.

If Shiji weren't a Taiyi Golden Immortal herself, hadn't accumulated considerable favors with Chentang Pass over the years, and hadn't had a background with the Jie Sect, she wouldn't have been able to achieve such a feat.

Otherwise...

Li Jing had already brought up his own background, as well as that of his eldest and second sons, and even the background of Nezha's master, to understand the matter.

As for the claim that killing a child was a provocation against cultivators...

In the Primordial World, strength ultimately reigns supreme. If you are strong enough and have a powerful enough background, you can kill a child without fear.

Even if we kill Shiji outright, what difference will it make?

This thought flashed through Li Jing's mind only briefly before Li Jing completely banished it from his thoughts.

Such thoughts are something the weak should not even entertain.

After all, he was the weaker party!

Li Jing took two deep breaths to calm himself, then arrived at the White Bone Cave and said in a deep voice, "Li Jing of Chentang Pass has returned with the true culprit who shot the arrow."

White Bone Cave.

Shiji opened her eyes and looked at Li Jing outside the cave, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"That Li Jing actually caught the real culprit so quickly?"

Shiji was surprised, and then she saw Nezha in the distance, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"So the real culprit that Li Jing captured was just this little kid?"

Shiji was somewhat skeptical.

Although she could tell that the child possessed considerable cultivation, judging from its aura, it was a genuine child under ten years old.

How could he possibly draw that Heaven and Earth Bow and shoot down Boy Biyun, who was billions of miles away, with a single arrow?

It's important to understand that even though the Heaven and Earth Bow and the Heaven-Shaking Arrow are decent spiritual treasures, they aren't Innate Spirit Treasure. Ultimately, the power of a spiritual treasure depends on the user.

In the Nine Provinces of the Human Race, separated by hundreds of millions of miles, the one who wields the Heaven and Earth Bow and fires the Heaven-Shaking Arrow must be a Golden Immortal!

Although various thoughts were swirling in Shiji's mind, not even a single breath had passed in Li Jing's time.

"Who shot and killed my Boy Biyun?" Shiji asked softly.

"It is indeed the rebellious Nezha. Li Jing dares not defend him, but begs Your Majesty to be lenient in your punishment." Li Jing said respectfully, bowing with a sorrowful expression.

"You unfilial son? The one outside is your third son Nezha?" Shiji was genuinely taken aback.

Although she sent Li Jing to capture the real culprit, she never expected that Li Jing would bring back his own son.

In Shiji's heart, she finally began to believe to some extent the claim that the person who shot Boy Biyun was even a child under ten years old outside.

After all, no matter how much Li Jing tried to cover up the real culprit, he wouldn't go so far as to capture his own child to take the blame!

Only...

Shiji looked at the Primordial World outside the cave abode again, and after a careful examination, she vaguely sensed that Nezha was protected by a rare treasure.

Even with her cultivation level, it was difficult to see through it, otherwise...

She could probably see through the father-son relationship between Li Jing and Nezha at a glance.

"That extraordinary treasure... must have come from the hands of some powerful being. It seems that Nezha has long been favored by some fellow Daoist and taken as a disciple."

Shiji thought to herself.

At this moment, Shiji's anger finally subsided somewhat.

Leaving aside the possibility of Nezha having a powerful master, let's just consider Nezha's age at this point.

She had cultivated Shiji in the Primordial World for countless years; she couldn't possibly take this child, who was not even ten years old, too seriously!

Shiji sighed softly.

At this point, Shiji had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

As for Boy Biyun...

Shiji could only go to the Underworld to inquire about the reincarnation of Boy Biyun, and then bring him back into her fold.

This can be considered compensation for Boy Biyun.

"Caiyun, go and call Nezha in!" Shiji instructed Girl Caiyun beside her.

By this time, the Girl Caiyun had already regained consciousness; after all, she was a Heavenly Immortal.

It wasn't just because he was terrified by a dead person; his previous dazed state was simply because he hadn't been able to react in time to the sudden shock.

Of course... the scene of Boy Biyun being shot and killed by a long arrow that fell from the sky was destined to be deeply etched in her mind.

"Yes!"

The Girl Caiyun responded and then headed out of the cave.

At this moment.

Nezha was already growing impatient waiting in front of the White Bone Cave.

He had already convinced himself that Shiji was trying to scam him out of his spiritual treasure.

And as he traveled along the way, his certainty grew stronger.

The Skull Mountain White Bone Cave are hundreds of millions of miles away from Chentang Pass.

An arrow pierced through billions of miles, killing some child.

This kind of thing.

Even though Nezha boasted of his extraordinary supernatural Divine Ability, he didn't believe he could do such a thing.

"Honestly, if they want to blame me, Nezha, they can't even come up with a better reason. And my old father, he believes everything people say!"

"And then there was that old mudfish incident. I told you that ugly freak attacked first, but he wouldn't believe me and instead believed that old mudfish."

"Honestly, they always give me so much to worry about." Nezha looked up at the sky and sighed silently.

Despite his outward appearance, Nezha had secretly tightened his grip on the Heaven-Chaos Sash and the Universe Ring.

He was just waiting for someone to come to the White Bone Cave, then he was ready to cause a huge uproar so that everyone would know that he, Nezha, was not someone to be trifled with.

Although young, he has learned a great deal over the years by following True Person Taiyi in his cultivation.

Nezha understood perfectly well the principle that, given their current predicament of being in the enemy's stronghold and already at a disadvantage, it was necessary to strike first!

And at that very moment...

From the White Bone Cave, the Girl Caiyun emerged, gazing at Nezha in the distance, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"Was that the guy who killed Biyun with an arrow?"

The Girl Caiyun recalled the scene of the divine arrow falling from the sky, and her mind was shaken. A sense of fear surged into her mind, and for a moment, she forgot Shiji's instructions.

When Nezha saw a female cultivator emerge from the cave abode, he immediately recognized her as the so-called Lady Shiji.

Without the slightest hesitation, the golden bracelet on his wrist instantly grew larger, and the Universe Ring fell into Nezha's hands.

"How dare you frame me, Shiji! Take this!"

With the Universe Ring in his hand, Nezha roared and struck at the Girl Caiyun.

"Oh--"

The Girl Caiyun never expected Nezha to suddenly attack, and because she had been distracted earlier, she didn't react in time and was caught directly by the Universe Ring.

"You've wronged me, kid!"

Nezha looked smugly at the captured Girl Caiyun. He had thought some powerful being dared to deceive his father and frame him, but...

That's it! That's it!

Nezha was smug. He twisted the Universe Ring in his hand, intending to unleash its power and kill the audacious demoness who had wronged him.

"How dare you!"

A loud shout suddenly rang in Nezha's ears.

The Law Power contained in that roar made Nezha dizzy. He took several steps back, shook his head, and then regained his senses.

"You wretched creature, how dare you commit violence again, trying to kill my virgin!"

Looking at the heavily injured Girl Caiyun, Shiji felt her suppressed anger flare up again.

She hadn't originally planned to bother with a little kid like Nezha, but who would have thought that this kid was small in stature but big in courage.

They dared to commit violence right in front of her cave abode, intending to kill her virgins there.

At this moment, Nezha realized that Shiji, who was standing next to Caiyun Tongzi, had only captured a young girl.

But what you see before you is the real Shiji.

He gazed at the female cultivator before him, who wore a golden crown with a fishtail design, a bright Eight Trigrams robe with eight trigrams, and slowly drew out a Tai'e Treasure Sword from her hand.

"Oh no!" Nezha thought with alarm.

Shiji's cultivation was so strong that she could tell at a glance that she was no match for Nezha.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nezha swung his Universe Ring at Shiji while retreating swiftly.

"The Universe Ring?"

Shiji stared at the Innate Spirit Treasure hurtling towards her, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"So you're a follower of the Chan Sect!"

Shiji let out a loud shout.

The remaining leeway vanished instantly; the conflict between the Chan and Jie sects had already deeply penetrated the hearts of every disciple.

If Shiji had known beforehand that Nezha was a member of the Chan Sect, how could she have had the same thought as before—not pursuing the matter against Nezha?

Shiji swung her sword at the Universe Ring.

Although the sword in her hand was not Innate Spirit Treasure, it was far inferior to the Universe Ring, a High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

But...

The effectiveness of a magical artifact also depends on the user.

The gap between Nezha and Shiji is so vast that even a High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure cannot bridge it.

Moreover, even Daluo Golden Immortal would need to expend considerable effort to refine High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

At this point, Nezha's cultivation level was still very low. Even though he was the reincarnation of a spirit of Innate Spirit Treasure, Nezha was ultimately too weak.

The Universe Ring, High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, was reduced to almost nothing in Nezha's hands.

Furthermore, the Skull Mountain White Bone Cave are originally Shiji's training ground, and the layout within them allows Shiji to unleash even greater power.

With a single sword strike, he shattered Nezha's Law Power on the Universe Ring. Then, with a wave of his right hand, the Eight Treasures Cloudlight Handkerchief firmly enveloped the Universe Ring.

No matter how much Nezha urged it, it couldn't budge it in the slightest.

Shiji continued charging towards Nezha.

In desperation, Nezha activated the Heaven-Chaos Sash) again, intending to bind Shiji.

However...

Both being High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Universe Ring couldn't harm Shiji, so what use was the Heaven-Chaos Sash?

Seeing the Heaven-Chaos Sash sweeping towards her, Shiji rolled up her sleeves, and another magical treasure, the Eight Treasures Dragon Whisker Handkerchief, flew out and became entangled with the Heaven-Chaos Sash.

Then Shiji held it tightly in her hand.

After losing two treasures in succession, Nezha finally realized that his relationship with Shiji wasn't simply one of being no match, but rather...

The difference is enormous!

Realizing what was happening, Nezha turned and ran.

Nezha wasn't far from the Skull Mountain to begin with; in just a few breaths, he was already out of the Skull Mountain.

Then, with an Earth Escape is a technique used in Chinese magic), Nezha's figure vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, White Bone Cave...

"Lady Shiji..."

Li Jing, who had just emerged from the cave, was filled with bewilderment.

"This is none of your business, Li Jing, you can go back now!" Shiji shouted and immediately chased after Nezha.

Within Skull Mountain, there is a training ground for Shiji, which is equipped with features designed to help Shiji withstand some of the pressure from the Nine Provinces Barrier.

At this moment, Shiji chased after Nezha and left Skull Mountain. Under the protection of the Nine Provinces Barrier, Shiji's Divine Ability were greatly reduced.

But.

Even though Shiji's Divine Ability were greatly reduced, Nezha, who had lost the Universe Ring and the Heaven-Chaos Sash, was no match for Shiji at this time.

However... while she couldn't defeat him in a fight, the Nine Provinces Barrier limited her escape, Shiji couldn't catch up with Nezha for a while.

But.

This is not surprising.

Although Nezha's Earth Escape technique) seems like a common Primordial World supernatural Divine Ability, it is actually...

The Five Elements Escape Techniques is a truly powerful supernatural Divine Ability of the Chan Sect.

The speed of this Earth Escape is a type of magical technique) is so fast that few Divine Ability below the Daluo level can match it.

In addition, Shiji was suppressed by the Nine Provinces Barrier at this time, making it difficult for her to exert her full Law Power Divine Ability.

The combat itself is manageable; although the area of effect is suppressed, its destructive power can still be unleashed. But this method of escape...

The suppression is extremely severe!

Otherwise, the Human Race wouldn't have established so many Domain Gate throughout the Nine Provinces.

Speaking of Domain Gate...

Shiji chased after Nezha, flying through the clouds and lightning, amidst torrential rain and swift winds. After a long chase, a Domain Gate came into view in the distance.

Upon seeing the Nezha Domain Gate, Nezha's weary expression vanished, and hope immediately shone in his eyes.

Without hesitation, Nezha burst forth from the earth and plunged headfirst into the Domain Gate.

Before long, Shiji followed closely behind, rushing into the Domain Gate without stopping.

With the help of the Domain Gate, Nezha traversed an endless distance, speeding all the way to the Daoist temple of True Person Taiyi and the Nine Provinces, in front of the Golden Light Cave of Mount Qianyuan.

Nezha gazed at the familiar immortal Immortal Mountain cave abode, tears welling in his eyes. He, Li Nezha, had never suffered such hardship since birth.

"Master, save me--"
