A Misunderstanding, or an Alliance?

This little god actually dared to disobey the Demon King Di Jun's orders; he's got a death wish.

Li Xuan, used to being a lackey, immediately berated Yang Jian.

Dijun hadn't even said anything yet.

"Brother Yang Jian, you've misunderstood. We cultivate different paths, so why argue? But do you know who is causing a sensation throughout the Three Realms Luo Hou Primordial World right now!"

Li Xuan laughed when he heard this; this guy really was a goofball.

"Oh?"

Yang Jian replied with a puzzled look, "This person is a powerful figure from High Antiquity times, how could he cause such a sensation?"

Li Xuan laughed and said, "This person is an ancient Gods and Devils, a super expert on par with the Heavenly Court. His strength has reached an unbelievable level, even surpassing the strength of Quasi-Sage. Moreover, he possesses a treasure of the Heavenly Court, the supreme treasure of heaven and earth— the Chaos Bell. It is said that the Chaos Bell is an Innate Spirit Treasure that can devour all things in the heavens and earth, and even absorb the Principle of Heaven and Earth. Its power is limitless. This kind of power can be said to defy the heavens."

Yang Jian's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. "So this person is truly formidable. No wonder I felt a bit intimidated when I heard about him."

"Do you know where this Luo Hou is currently sealed by the Heavenly Court?" Li Xuan asked.

Yang Jian shook his head.

Li Xuan continued, "The Heavenly Court has now sealed Luo Hou in a different realm. They have sealed the Principle of Heaven and Earth, leaving Luo Hou to fend for himself here."

"What!" Yang Jian exclaimed in surprise.

He certainly knew why the Heavenly Court was targeting this Luo Hou.

This Luo Hou is an enemy of the Heavenly Court.

"Heavenly Court has sealed him away," Yang Jian asked again.

"Right!"

"Then is he dead?" Yang Jian asked again.

"Yes, he's dead, but we're still not at ease, after all, he possessed an Innate Spirit Treasure, the Chaos Bell."

"Then he must have something else on him, right?"

"Yes, there should be one more thing. He also left behind a Storage Ring. We all suspect there might be some treasure inside, but we're too afraid to go in and check."

Yang Jian fell silent, then asked, "Is he dead?"

"No, he is not dead. Although he was sealed away by the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court has no intention of killing him. Moreover, there is a token inside. I guess it is because of that token that the Heavenly Court cannot bear to harm him."

"A token?" Yang Jian was taken aback, then asked, "What's it used for?"

"This token is called the Heaven and Earth Mirror. It is an extremely wondrous Innate Spirit Treasure, containing a world within it, and this Heaven and Earth Mirror is capable of absorbing all Principle."

Li Xuan took out the Heaven and Earth Mirror that Luo Hou had left behind and handed it to Yang Jian.

Upon acquiring the Heaven and Earth Mirror, Yang Jian immediately sensed an endless and vast Principle contained within it, which captivated him irresistibly.

"Nice one!"

Yang Jian exclaimed in admiration, then asked, "Where is he now?"

"In another dimension. However, the environment there is extremely dangerous."

"Danger? Then I'll charge in and rescue him. I refuse to believe that I can't save him with my abilities."

"That won't do. I just experienced the power of the Heaven and Earth Mirror myself. If you rush in, you'll probably be instantly annihilated by Heaven and Earth Mirror power."

After hearing Li Xuan's explanation, Yang Jian finally understood; it seemed that the Heaven and Earth Mirror truly possessed boundless power.

"In that case, I'll wait for your good news, and then I'll go rescue him."

Meanwhile, Immeasurable Tribulation was slowly brewing on the other side. On Penglai Immortal Island, the Eight Immortals were gathered. Tieguai Li, with his messy hair and a wine gourd in his hand, was incoherent.

Han Zhongli, who held these immortal talismans in his hand, spent his days idly and carefree; it was better that he didn't study.

Lü Dongbin over there had nothing to do all day and loved to watch others make fools of themselves.

The immortal riding backwards on a donkey, engrossed in reading tales of mortals, was none other than Zhang Guolao.

Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu, two immortals from different dynasties, surprisingly got along well and spent all their time together.

Lan Caihe and He Xiangu were searching everywhere for the wonders of this Immortal Realm.

At this moment, these immortals were sitting on the vast grassland in the center of Penglai Immortal Island, talking.

"Master, do you think we should go and rescue Luo Hou?" Zhang Guolao spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Lü Dongbin continued, "You rascal, you really can't stay still. This time we're helping His Majesty fight against the Witch Race. How can someone your age bear such a heavy responsibility? This time, Tieguai Li, Old Sun, and I are going to rescue people. You just stay here obediently."

Zhang Guolao muttered, "I'm here on His Majesty's behalf this time. I'm not going with you; I have other things to do, and His Majesty didn't order me to do anything else."

Tieguai Li said, "Guolao, do you think you can manage going alone?"

"You little brat, are you looking down on me? Let me tell you, I'm here to do something good. I'm doing this to protect the dignity of the Heavenly Court and for His Majesty's safety. Don't get any ideas!" Zhang Guolao said indignantly.

Lü Dongbin and Zhang Guolao have completely opposite personalities. Although Zhang Guolao appears carefree and irresponsible, he is extremely loyal to Li Yuanba would risk his life for him. Lü Dongbin, on the other hand, is like Lü Bu —unconventional and unorthodox—but extremely loyal to the Heavenly Court. Moreover, he is very cunning in his dealings with others. This time, for the sake of the Li Tang dynasty and the dignity of the Heavenly Court, he must also go.

When Lü Dongbin heard Zhang Guolao say this, he was at a loss for words.

He knew his strength was still somewhat lacking, but he still insisted on his point of view, believing that under these circumstances, only the three of them could save Luo Hou.

"Master, you must be careful. This time, all the experts going are top-tier. It would be best if the three of you each led a team. Only then will you have a chance of winning," Lü Dongbin advised.

Although Lü Dongbin was a bit impatient, he wasn't stupid.

He also knew that those who went this time were all top-tier experts, and if the three of them were to fight one of them one-on-one, they would be nothing more than easy prey.

"Alright, you can go without worry." Zhang Guolao said, standing up to go and discuss things with Li Xuan.

Lü Dongbin also stood up, preparing to inform Li Xuan and the others.

Just then, a series of violent fluctuations came from afar. The fluctuations were so great that the immortals couldn't help but frown.

"What's going on?" Lü Dongbin looked into the distance with a puzzled expression. Because his ears were very sharp, he heard that the fluctuation was coming from the east. He immediately realized that it must be a powerful expert sent by the Heavenly Court.

All the immortals turned their gaze eastward, eager to know where things had gone wrong.

Soon, the immortals saw a dark cloud rapidly approaching from the distant horizon.

"My God! Isn't that a warship from Heavenly Court? What's going on?"
