Pinning the Blame

"Haotian!"

What happened?

"Your Majesty, you wouldn't be planning to use the secret realm to kill us, would you?"

Three voices rang out from within the Lingxiao Secret Realm.

One was the voice of the Jade Emperor, another the voice of the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, and the third the voice of the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord.

Laojun, one of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables, remained silent.

Even so, the fact that these three beings, as the masters of the Lingxiao Secret Realm, spoke up was enough to prove the Immortal Court's attitude.

The Jade Emperor offered a reminder, the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord expressed his doubts, and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord directly questioned him.

Amidst the deafening roar, the three voices were incredibly penetrating, drawing shouts in response from a higher, more distant location.

"The operation of this secret location is unpredictable, please remain calm!"

When Donghua's familiar voice came, Zhang Xuezhou felt his body sink again.

This means that while Donghua talks a good game, his actual actions show that the Kunlun Secret Realm continues to exert downward pressure, and the situation has not improved.

Damn it!

The impatient Lingbao Tianzun cursed several times, and it seemed as if he had brandished his long sword, and the sound of a boulder falling could be faintly heard.

"Fellow Daoists, please enter the Mi Luo Palace. I possess the Heavenly Auspicious Cloud Technique to avert disaster!"

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a shout and also released his protective measures.

"Please use all your means to protect yourselves. We will do our best to bring Kunlun back into the operating track of the secret realm. Kunlun and Lingxiao are no different; if they collide, they will both be destroyed. I would never do such a thing. I hope you will believe in our sincerity!"

Donghua spoke again, and his two consecutive reassurances made Zhang Xuezhou's heart skip a beat.

Those unfamiliar with Donghua would naturally take his words as well-intentioned, but Zhang Xuezhou knew Donghua too well.

The other person is stabbing you in the back while saying 'it doesn't hurt,' and then they'll stab you a few more times.

As long as Kunlun's collision with Lingxiao is justified, Donghua can repeat this behavior again.

The Kunlun Secret Land was never Donghua's secret land, so why would Donghua care about this secret land?

Compared to the value of the Kunlun Secret Realm, if it could be used to destroy Kunlun and kill the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables and the Jade Emperor in the destruction of the collision, it would undoubtedly be a very worthwhile thing.

Just as Donghua plotted against Zhu Jiuyin in a series of interconnected schemes, he was now also plotting against the Immortal Court.

If the Immortal Court is destroyed, Donghua will have few rivals in the Three Realms. If the two Western sect leaders are also outlived, only Kunlun will remain in the world.

When there are no rivals at the top, everything will naturally fall into place.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had understood Donghua's plan in just a few words.

This is indeed a very dangerous opponent. The opponent is good at using the bond of interests. Anyone who is greedy and inclined to the interests mentioned by Donghua will fall into the abyss trap set by Donghua.

"If the Immortal Court wasn't constructed with the three secret realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, forming a series of buffer zones, then the impact just now must have truly struck!"

Zhang Xuezhou was helpless in the face of trouble from Donghua University.

He understood Donghua's intentions, but had no way to deal with them. Even Zhang Xuezhou had been tricked by Donghua and suffered disaster. For a time, he didn't know if he could protect the Yin-Yang Secret Land.

"Has the Immortal Court gone mad? This guy keeps trying things without end, and everyone actually believes him!"

Aside from Lingbao Tianzun's repeated curses, the immortals of the Immortal Court maintained their trust in Donghua, and were even waiting for the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals to be held after the merger of the secret realms.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that these people had been scammed by a pyramid scheme, and even with the facts right in front of them, they still believed it without a doubt and were even full of expectations.

The auspicious Technique Method of the heavens resonated with the continuous sound of tinkling beads, and the invincible defensive Technique Method of the Yuanshi Heavenly Lord reassured many, who chose to wait for the outcome.

In the repeated collisions and backward pulling, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the formation was beginning to go out of control.

The Mountain and River Eternal Stability Formation is one thing, as it excels at repeated repairs and protracted warfare. However, the Yin-Yang Two Elements Formation he set up using materials from the imperial court couldn't withstand such repeated torment, Great Han Dynasty's formation materials were also inferior.

When one of the array artifacts of the Yin-Yang Two Elements Array exploded, Zhang Xuezhou's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if the Yin-Yang Secret Realm was a large ship floating on the water, and the entire secret realm was tilting.

Before Donghua could even complete the collision, his secret realm could no longer withstand it.

"It's over!"

Once something happens, it will happen again; the destruction of the first array device will inevitably lead to a second one.

The thought crossed Zhang Xuezhou's mind, but then he heard a series of explosions. The Yin-Yang Two Elements Formation could not withstand the repeated pull and collisions from the secret place and began to collapse continuously.

A series of loud thuds followed, and Zhang Xuezhou, whose formation had gone out of control, lost his footing and was thrown into the air by the tremors.

The Kunlun Secret Realm repeatedly rammed downwards into the Lingxiao Secret Realm, while Zhang Xuezhou maintained a balance between the two secret realms after the impact.

Like a bow that is constantly stretched, when the repeated impacts exceed the threshold, the bowstring will break.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Yin-Yang Secret Realm, which had been under immense pressure to the limit of the formation, was also thrown up at the moment of the break, rushing towards the Lingxiao Secret Realm, which was under pressure at the top.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, a deafening roar erupted, accompanied by gasps of alarm from the Jade Emperor and the others.

Before the Yin-Yang Secret Realm could be completely shattered, the Lingxiao Secret Realm high above the heavens had already been broken into pieces, the entire secret realm cracked open by the impact.

"Donghua, take this sword!"

Lingbao Tianzun's sword light pierced through countless bolts of lightning, followed by Donghua's muffled groan.

"Our Kunlun secret realm has also shattered, just a little bit more! Please wait a moment, everyone, I'll be able to fix it right away!"

"We implore the three Celestial Venerables to grant Haotian a little time!"

Later, the Emperor and Empress's voices were also heard, clearly indicating that they had taken the blow from Lingbao Tianzun for the Emperor.

"That collision just now swerved me a bit too far off; it was almost a close call!"

Donghua let out a heavy breathing sound.

The Kunlun Secret Realm and the Lingxiao Secret Realm clashed once again.

This time it was a muffled groan from the Yuanshi Celestial Lord; the auspicious clouds of the heavens clearly could not withstand such a violent impact.

"There's a murderous aura!"

Whether he had been in a state of madness or was quietly observing, Laojun of the Tushita Palace only spoke out loudly at this moment.

"Golden Horn, quickly wave your banana leaf fan and blow those rocks away!"

Where is my Tai Chi diagram?

"What? I gave it away? When did I give it away?"

"Silver Horn, quickly fetch my Golden Rope! I need to bind Haotian. He's impervious to wind, fire, Earth Technique, and magic, and that woman can help him defend against swords. Only the Golden Rope can bind him!"

"Haotian, look at this rope I've put on!"

Laojun's behavior is just like that of a novice desperately seeking medical help, completely unlike the demeanor of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables.

But just a moment later, Zhang Xuezhou heard Donghua's voice of submission.

"Don't panic, Laojun! Lingxiao and Kunlun are stable, stable! They won't shake anymore!"

"You have murderous intent in your heart. You need to give us an explanation. I think you want to kill us!"

"I didn't... I mean, I sensed something was amiss with the merger of these secret realms. It seems someone plotted against us, wanting our Kunlun and Lingxiao secret realms to clash. That's why I felt murderous intent, but I definitely didn't intend to kill you. Look, I didn't resist at all even after you tied me up!"

Who's plotting this?

"I think it's possible... Look over there, a secret realm has been revealed, and it seems someone is causing trouble there!"

After Donghua's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou felt a gaze sweep towards the Yin-Yang Secret Land.

"I just saw it clearly from above, and there was chaos below. That seemed to be the light of Buddha from the Western Sect?"

Donghua was bound and taken out by Laojun.

Unable to decipher the golden rope mentioned by Laojun, he admitted his guilt while frantically biting around, attempting to shift his target.

After a series of indiscriminate attacks, Donghua set its sights on its former ally, the Western Sect.

"That was indeed the Buddha's light from the Heart Sutra!"

Laojun nodded seriously, agreeing with what Dong Hua said.

"It must be those two bald monks, Jieyin and Zhunti, causing trouble. I knew they weren't good people the first time I met them!"

Donghua shouted, pinning the blame for disrupting the fusion of the secret realm on the two Western religious leaders.
