Calling for Reinforcements
Zhang Xuezhou had a lot of experience, but he had never actually traveled around with a high-level cultivator.
The blood-dissolving box, weighing over a thousand pounds, made his movements extremely difficult, and the Law Power expended to avoid the Peacock Great Wisdom King's leap was many times greater than usual.
Of course, Zhang Xuezhou was not afraid of the cost.
He could contend with the True Self Realm at the Sole Self Realm, and even more so at the True Self Realm.
Let alone one Blood Transformation Box, he could definitely hold out even with two. The key problem is that the Sect Master Jieyin would escape from the Blood Transformation Box, which forced him to make quick adjustments after repeatedly avoiding the Peacock Great Wisdom King.
If possible, Zhang Xuezhou hoped that Divine Lord Zhenyuan would finish the battle quickly and withdraw regardless of the outcome. The fact that the battle in the secret realm of Milu Mountain had reached this point meant that the Western Sect and the Immortal Court had broken off relations. They didn't need to fight to the death with these two leaders; others would naturally step in.
"Damn it! Just because we refused to discuss the Heart Sutra with you, you dared to trespass into our secret place and commit evil!"
Just like Zhang Xuezhou, the Zhunti Master was also extremely furious. He wished he could whip the great cultivator in front of him to death with the Seven Treasures Tree.
If time could be turned back, Zhunti felt he would definitely not have considered interrogating Divine Lord Zhenyuan to force him to reveal the origin of the Heart Sutra.
He hadn't expected that Divine Lord Zhenyuan was truly a formidable fighter, and that he was so effective at countering him.
The opponent's Technique Method were unleashed instantly, with a continuous stream of fluid attacks. These attacks required neither weapons nor Law Treasure, rendering the Seven Treasures Tree in his hands almost useless.
"It's one thing if you don't want to discuss things, but chasing after me to kill me is outrageous! If I were weaker, wouldn't I have been beaten to death for coming to ask for advice? If I don't get justice today, then I've wasted my time coming to Xiniu Hezhou!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan was also filled with anger; he had never seen the two Western religious leaders with such bad tempers in his life.
He could accept rejection and wouldn't pester others, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan never expected that his attempt to inquire about cultivation would result in him being beaten and killed.
Especially when he saw Zhunti, the leader of the sect, kill Nezha in a bad temper again, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt that such a person was not worthy of the position of the Western Sect. He not only swept Zhunti's sleeves, but also prepared to continue beating him until he was beaten down and could no longer resist.
Yuanshi Tianzun mentioned that the Blood Transformation Box could bind the Sect Master Jieyin for a short while, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt that he needed to fight for a short while.
As for Zhang Xuezhou, there's no need to worry at all. It's not that Divine Lord Zhenyuan looks down on the Peacock Great Wisdom King, but rather that Zhang Xuezhou's flying ability is too strong. There are probably no cultivators in the Three Realms who can match Zhang Xuezhou right now, so delaying him for a while won't be a problem.
"Outrageous! You villain, you're spouting complete nonsense!"
Before he could even gather his followers to ambush the cultivators of the Immortal Court and Kunlun, he himself was already embroiled in endless strife.
As the leader of the Zhunti exchanged insults, his heart sank, realizing that the situation was not going to be easy to resolve.
He and the Sect Master Jieyin truly had the confidence to break off relations. The cultivators of Kunlun and the Immortal Court had almost no suspicion of the Western Sect. Once they killed these cultivators and broke through the Western Heavenly Gate, they would rely on the formation to defend Mount Ling and would not be afraid of the challenge of a long-distance raid.
Most importantly, they received five hundred years of lifespan from the elixir of Immortality Elixir, and after testing their life-saving techniques, their bodies were found to be without defects.
The forced inspection of Mount Milu made it impossible to keep secrets, and the centuries-old scheme was ruined. He and Jieyin's plan was ruined, so he couldn't swallow his anger and directly dealt a fatal blow to Nezha, the number one henchman of the Immortal Court.
With Nezha, the fearless vanguard of the Immortal Court, removed, the conflict will become controllable.
The mad Laojun, the irritable Lingbao Tianzun, the defensive Yuanshi Tianzun, the Jade Emperor who relies on formations, and the Emperor and Empress who have been hiding in Kunlun for thousands of years—these great cultivators either have flaws, or find it difficult to work together, or need to rely on their talents to appear invincible. The balance among them is extremely easy to break.
The two were of one mind and considered many things, but the one thing they hadn't considered was Divine Lord Zhenyuan, a reckless young man who was fighting like a madman, repeatedly showing a fighting style that was willing to perish together with Zhunti Jiaozhu, and even had the help of Yuanshi Tianzun's Law Treasure.
"You just wait!"
Relying on the Seven Treasures Tree, Divine Lord Zhenyuan was forcibly restrained when a bone Law Treasure struck his black robe.
As before, the black robe had dispelled the power of the bone Law Treasure, but the Law Treasure suddenly broke and spewed out a foul stench that stained his black robe, weakening its protective effect.
The leader of the Zhunti sect had no choice but to threaten the duty officer and the Southern Dipper Star Lord who were throwing bone artifacts Law Treasure treasures in the distance.
But his threat only fueled their inner turmoil, and even bone Law Treasure that hadn't been refined or activated were thrown at them.
"Zhunti, you're getting on in years, yet you still threaten a junior! You have no shame whatsoever!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan waved a pair of cloth sleeves. These sleeves were not Law Treasure, but they could be used to conceal his attacks.
Having previously relied on the Law Treasure's long sleeves for attacks, Divine Lord Zhenyuan would never again carry Law Treasure's long sleeves.
He fought against Master Zhunti entirely by brute force, his hands already turning red from the blows. Seeing that Zhunti's protective armor was tainted and its power was no longer as strong as before, he was overjoyed, feeling that he finally had a chance to injure Master Zhunti's physical body.
After a barrage of sarcastic remarks, Divine Lord Zhenyuan, relying on the power of the Dharma Heaven, launched another fierce attack.
"Jieyin, Jieyin!"
Surrounded by the crowd, even the leader of the Zhunti seemed helpless.
He retreated repeatedly, getting closer to the Duty Officer and the Southern Dipper Star Lord. The Divine Lord Zhenyuan would then keep closing in, while the two who were hiding to the side and using their Law Treasure to launch sneak attacks would keep changing positions. They even used the aftershocks of their attacks to impact the two secret chambers.
After changing areas twice in the secret realm of Mount Milu, Master Zhunti felt that continuing to fight like this would lead to defeat.
He couldn't help but shout repeatedly, signaling the Sect Master Jieyin to quickly untie the blood-dissolving box.
"Shi Gong?"
Parvati!
The leader of the Zhunti sect also called out to the Buddha Son Shigong and disciples who were working there.
Although he no longer prioritizes training Buddha Son Shigong, the outcome of the battle could still change if Buddha Son Shigong were to lend a hand even slightly.
But after calling out twice, Zhunti did not find the figure of the Buddha Son Shigong.
"That wicked disciple has descended to the mortal realm; he's probably hunting demons with Vishnu and the others!"
The Sect Master Jieyin in the Blood Transformation Box clearly used control methods to determine the location of the Buddha Son Shigong.
This made the Master of the Zhunti Sect extremely frustrated, feeling that the Buddha Son Shigong hadn't left earlier or later, but had to run away just when they needed something.
If they hadn't possessed firsthand information from the Immortal Court and Kunlun regarding their investigation of the Western Sect, while Buddha Son Shigong was completely unaware of this, Master Zhunti would have almost suspected that Buddha Son Shigong had betrayed the Western Sect.
"Right now, only the Buddha's son is behind us. He is not afraid of the traps and formations of Mount Miru. See if you can get the Buddha's son to come quickly!"
The leader of the Zhunti Sect shouted repeatedly, signaling the Sect Master Jieyin in the blood-dissolving box to quickly call for reinforcements.
"Yang Jian has been pestering Tathagata lately, he'll probably come along!"
The Sect Master Jieyin had a bad feeling, but he still urged the Buddha's son through the control method.
It's highly likely that the Buddha's disciple will arrive, and Yang Jian will inevitably follow.
Whether the Buddha's disciple will play a stronger role or whether Yang Jian will bring greater negative consequences is something that the Sect Master Jieyin finds difficult to judge.
