Wenshu and Puxian Arrive! Jinling Speaks of the Schemes

"How dare you, how could you do this..."

From underground, True Person Taiyi burst forth from the earth, stood suspended in mid-air, and roared as he looked up at Jinling and Shiji.

"Jinling, you..."

However, before True Person Taiyi could finish speaking...

"I've already said..." Jinling looked at True Person Taiyi's face, which darkened, and said in a deep voice, "Call me Senior Sister Jinling!"

At the same time, his right hand struck down again in the void, and that void hand instantly solidified, striking down towards True Person Taiyi once more.

However, this time, True Person Taiyi was not as unprepared as before.

Looking at the giant hand approaching him, True Person Taiyi was solemn but full of confidence.

Although he knew that Jinling was Quasi-Sage, the Human Race's Nine Provinces Barrier was much stronger in suppressing Quasi-Sage than it was in suppressing Daluo Immortals.

Furthermore, he is currently at Mount Qianyuan, his Daoist temple in Taiyi, which gives him a geographical advantage. Although he dares not say that he can defeat this Jinling.

However, Taiyi believed that protecting himself should not be a problem.

With a thought, all the methods set up in Mount Qianyuan immediately began to take effect, True Person Taiyi instantly felt a lightness in his body.

The suppressed power of the Daluo Law Power suddenly surged, Taiyi even summoned a spiritual treasure, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shroud, which was not simply for attack.

Its defensive capabilities need not be weaker than its offensive power.

However...

Useless!

All of True Person Taiyi's methods were utterly useless.

With Jinling's subsequent palm strike, True Person Taiyi was once again slammed into the ground without any resistance.

Only the head of True Person Taiyi remained on the ground.

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

True Person Taiyi trembled all over and burst out of the soil, looking up at the Jinling above.

Then, upon seeing Jinling's indifferent eyes, True Person Taiyi paused, swallowing back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

For Daluo Golden Immortal, especially those from the Chan Sect, their faces are something they value highly.

Being repeatedly slammed into the ground, especially in front of his disciple Nezha, was something True Person Taiyi could hardly accept.

However, it's even more impossible for Taiyi to address Jinling as "Senior Sister."

It should be noted that although Jinling and he were of the same generation, Jinling had been a disciple of Cult Master Tongtian of the Jie Sect for far less time than him.

Jinling joined the Jie Sect when Cult Master Tongtian left Mount Kunlun for Golden Turtle Island.

At that time, Taiyi, and even the Twelve High Immortals of the Chan Sect, had already been disciples of the Chan Sect for countless years.

How could True Person Taiyi possibly bring himself to speak?

Only...

Although there are seniority distinctions between the Chan and Jie schools, they are ultimately two separate schools.

If a junior member of the Chan Sect breaks through to the Quasi-Sage Realm, then True Person Taiyi is still a senior brother, and that cannot be changed, whether he is a senior uncle or senior master.

But the Jie Sect...

Among peers, ultimately, status is determined by ability.

At this moment, even though Jinling joined the Jie Sect after Taiyi, as Quasi-Sage, it was not wrong for True Person Taiyi to call her "Senior Sister."

Only...

How could Taiyi be willing to accept this?

For a moment, True Person Taiyi simply stared at Jinling with a grim expression, unsure of what to say.

However...

"I told you, call me senior sister--"

Jinling looked down at True Person Taiyi, her face revealing neither joy nor anger, but her words were chillingly sharp.

Upon hearing Jinling's words, a look of shame and anger flashed across True Person Taiyi's face, and he immediately shouted, "Jinling, don't push your luck!"

"This is outrageous..."

A cold smile flickered in Jinling's eyes.

Without any warning, he struck out with his right palm, slamming True Person Taiyi into the ground once again, leaving only his head standing.

"So what if I'm going too far...?"

Jinling looked down at True Person Taiyi from above like Divine Spirit, her voice icy cold.

"You..."

True Person Taiyi's face turned red, but he didn't emerge from the earth. He trembled as he looked at the Jinling above, as if he was too angry to speak.

However, in reality...

True Person Taiyi remained remarkably calm, his mind unwavering in the slightest.

Although he values his reputation, this matter could not shake the mind of a Great Daluo Golden Immortal, much less make him so angry.

It's hard not to feel a sense of disbelief.

After all, the strength Jinling was displaying at this moment seemed a bit too much.

"Wait a little longer, my junior brothers will be here soon... just a little longer." Beneath the seemingly angry eyes of True Person Taiyi lay an endless calm.

This was something that True Person Taiyi himself knew, and even... Jinling knew it very well.

But Nezha and Shiji, standing to the side, were completely stunned.

No matter how precocious Nezha was, he was still just a child. His lawlessness was only due to the deliberate guidance of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He relied solely on his extraordinary abilities and the Universe Ring and Heaven-Chaos Sash bestowed upon him by the True Person Taiyi.

But now the Universe Ring and the Heaven-Chaos Sash are still in Shiji's hands, and his last reliance, his master True Person Taiyi, is in the same state.

For a moment, Nezha's heart was filled with fear. If he hadn't still had some reason left, he might have even turned and run away.

At this moment, Shiji's mood was no less calm than Nezha's.

However, compared to Nezha's fear, Shiji felt more relieved and satisfied at this moment.

After being rescued by Jinling, the restriction that Shiji had placed on herself disappeared, and Shiji remembered everything.

Based on what she knew, Shiji could easily see that she had been tricked by True Person Taiyi.

It's important to understand that what Shiji sealed away was merely her own memory of having met Jinling.

Without Jinling's appearance, Shiji's final fate...

They were probably burned to death by the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shroud, just like before.

With such a contrast, Shiji naturally felt extremely pleased to see this scene.

Shiji even wanted to step forward and teach True Person Taiyi a lesson.

Of course, Shiji was only thinking about it.

After all, she knew that Jinling had already done a great favor by saving her and being able to take revenge on her here, so she naturally dared not hope for anything more.

Sensing Nezha's fear and Shiji's gratified gaze, a genuine anger began to ignite within True Person Taiyi.

Only.

That trace of anger could not affect True Person Taiyi in the slightest.

"My junior brothers should be here soon," True Person Taiyi kept reminding himself.

Whether considering Jinling's Quasi-Sage level or the power Jinling had just displayed, True Person Taiyi understood.

Even if he used every trick in the book, he was no match for Jinling. All he could hope for now was...

Only his two junior brothers remained!

"Everyone's finally here!"

At this moment, Jinling suddenly spoke up.

The people present were all stunned and looked at Jinling in confusion.

After a moment of stunned silence, True Person Taiyi suddenly realized what Jinling meant by "everyone has arrived."

"Could it be... that Jinling has been waiting for his junior brothers all along?"

A fleeting look of worry crossed True Person Taiyi's eyes, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Sure enough, just a few breaths after True Person Taiyi had this premonition, two figures suddenly rushed over from a distance.

The person arrives before the voice does!

"You fiend, cease your insolence!"

"Don't hurt my Taiyi Brother Taiyi!"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, followed by two gleaming magical treasures.

One of them is called the Dragon-Binding Stake. It has three golden rings on top and a golden lotus below. At the same time, it is accompanied by strong winds, clouds and mist, and dust.

This wind is no ordinary wind, these clouds are no ordinary clouds, and this dust is no ordinary dust.

The wind whipped up dust and swirled clouds, so thick that even Daluo Golden Immortal would likely lose sight of the flying magical treasure and be captured.

The other magical treasure was a rope, the Long Rainbow Rope. This rope was not powerful when used; rather, it was silent and undetectable.

As it moved, it even merged into the void, using the power of the Dragon-Binding Stake to conceal itself, making its method of movement unpredictable and difficult to dodge.

Only...

Those targets were merely Daluo Golden Immortal, while the Jinling they were attacking at the moment was undoubtedly a Quasi-Sage- Saint.

Seeing the two spiritual treasures coming at him, Jinling's eyes flashed, and a golden light instantly pierced through the wind and dust, directly shattering the Dragon-Binding Stake and sending it flying tens of thousands of miles away.

Meanwhile, one hand quietly stirred the void, and the Long Rainbow Rope that had merged into the void struck hundreds or even thousands of death calamities in an instant.

The Law Power channels contained within were directly blocked, and then there was the suppression from the palm that Jinling had somehow touched.

The magical artifact instantly lost all its divine power, falling into the depths of the void like an ordinary rope.

Meanwhile, Jinling's other hand silently slammed down in the void.

This familiar scene sent a chill down the spine of True Person Taiyi below, who instinctively tried to burst out of the mud to avoid it.

But...

A giant hand descended from the sky, slapping True Person Taiyi back down, along with two other figures, and burying them in the mud.

On the ground, three heads stared at each other blankly.

"Wenshu Brother Manjushri? Junior Brother Puxian? What's wrong with you?"

True Person Taiyi was at the lowest altitude, was the first to react. Looking at the two heads beside him, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

He was awakened by the True Person Taiyi.

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian, were both enraged by the current situation.

They lacked the rich experience of True Person Taiyi to suppress their anger.

Not to mention.

As Daluo Golden Immortal, and wielding more than one powerful spiritual treasure, they believed that, together they could contend with even Quasi-Sage within this Nine Provinces Barrier.

Naturally, they were not afraid at all.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian activated their Law Power and soared into the sky, lifting True Person Taiyi up from the ground as well.

Only...

After a few breaths.

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian, who were smashed into the ground for the third time, accepted their fate. True Person Taiyi, who was smashed in for the sixth time, had long since accepted his fate.

This was quite different from his previous restraint and attempts to stall for time.

He just used his full strength, and even joined forces with his two junior brothers, but the result...

"You..."

Just as True Person Taiyi was about to speak, he saw Jinling's raised palm and immediately stopped talking, his face extremely ugly.

"Jinling... Senior Sister!"

True Person Taiyi, with a gloomy face, looked up at the Jinling above and shouted.

Perhaps this is the adaptability of Daluo Golden Immortal; no matter how unwilling he was, after shouting it once, all the pressure in True Person Taiyi's heart immediately dissipated.

"Senior Sister Jinling, what exactly do you want to do?"

True Person Taiyi asked very directly.

"Do what?"

Jinling sneered, looking down at the three heads buried in the ground, "I should be the one asking you, the Chan Sect, what you want to do!"

"You're happy to have schemed against my Jie Sect, aren't you!"

Jinling's cold voice reached the ears of True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian, and all three of them shivered simultaneously.

Certainly.

It wasn't their reaction to their scheme being exposed, but rather, with Jinling's voice, a genuine chill enveloped their Daluo True Forms.

That was a terrifying chill that even Daluo Golden Immortal couldn't withstand; it not only affected the body, but also the Law Power and even the Primordial Spirit, making them feel as if they were being frozen.

Only...

In an instant, the chill vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.

Only...

Whether it was True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, or True Person Puxian, none of them believed that what they had just witnessed was an illusion.

The words that True Person Taiyi had originally wanted to use to argue were swallowed back down, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Jinling glanced at the three silent figures, snorted coldly, and a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Don't you want to say anything?

Jinling spoke to the three of them in a low voice.

"Do you need me to explain for you? I can tell you how you schemed against my Jie Sect's Shiji, how you schemed against the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and how you schemed against your Chan Sect disciples..."

"They plotted against Nezha, the reincarnation of the Lingzhuzi!"

Jinling finished speaking.

The expression on True Person Taiyi's face immediately changed. This time, it wasn't Jinling who made the move; he was genuinely panicked.

Nezha, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered.

Scheme against him?

When?

Also, what does it mean to say that Lingzhuzi was reincarnated?

Although he was precocious and came into contact with cultivation at a young age, Nezha's understanding of this Primordial World was far too little in just a few years.

At this moment, both Jinling's scheme and the so-called Lingzhuzi were completely beyond the comprehension of Nezha's little brain.

Filled with doubts, Nezha subconsciously turned his head to look at True Person Taiyi's head...

Then I saw the slightly flustered look in True Person Taiyi's eyes.

A very strange, or rather uncomfortable feeling welled up in Nezha's heart.

Nezha's breathing became heavier as he stared blankly at True Person Taiyi, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions including anxiety, confusion, and bewilderment.

At this moment, Jinling quietly withdrew his Divine Ability.

That's right.

Nezha saw just now was all made to Nezha by Jinling using her Divine Ability.

Of course, Jinling wasn't making things up; she simply let Nezha see the emotions that True Person Taiyi had hidden in his heart.

No matter what, Jinling is a Quasi-Sage, how could she stoop so low as to deceive a child?

Even if he was a brat, Jinling wouldn't stoop to his level.

At most... it will just let him understand what the treacherous nature of the Primordial World truly means!
