Taking Advantage of the Chaos

"That demonic scorpion killed the leader of the Zhunti!"

Dong Zhongshu's tracking technique did not reveal the human skin of the Zhunti Leader, but instead directly located the giant black scorpion.

Zhang Xuezhou initially thought he had come to the wrong place, but when the giant scorpion pierced the golden body of the Buddha's disciple and nearly killed this True Self Realm cultivator who had mastered the Body Technique, Zhang Xuezhou became very certain that the other party was the lower realm incarnation of the Goddess Houtu.

He didn't personally pursue and kill them, but instead kept encouraging others.

The Demonic Sound Technique emitted a loud shout, and the deafening sound waves spread throughout the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm almost instantly, causing many cultivators to become restless. However, most cultivators were restricted by the rules and could not come. Only a few Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and others were qualified to ascend to the high places of Spirit Mountain.

"Hurry, you guys, catch that demonic scorpion!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted repeatedly at the nearby four-armed Buddha, making the Buddha dizzy and disoriented. However, the Buddha was vomiting repeatedly due to the effects of the Purple Gold Bell, so he could only continue his pursuit while vomiting, making it difficult to say how effective it would be. As for the other cultivators who were also affected, there was no hope for them.

"Yang Jian!"

"No, don't order me around!"

When Zhang Xuezhou started to urge Erlang True Lord, Yang Jian's expression turned strange. Holding his three-pointed double-edged sword, he looked like he wanted to chase after him but dared not.

One can tell a person's strength just by looking at their opponent. Erlang True Lord didn't know why there were so many cultivators in the Three Realms who had achieved sainthood in their physical bodies in recent years, but he could clearly sense that the Buddha's son's physical body was even stronger.

Even the Buddha's disciple was so stung by a sting that he broke free of his composure and broke out in a cold sweat. He even let go of the Seven Treasures Tree that he was trying to seize. Erlang True Lord felt that he would die if he were stung by a sting.

While everyone fights regularly, cultivators who can break through their physical bodies and attain sainthood through skillful means are extremely rare.

It would be one thing if his physical body were destroyed by divine weapons like the Pangu Axe and the Xuanyuan Sword, but Yang Jian could hardly imagine that his physical body, after reaching sainthood, would be destroyed by a scorpion's tail.

It only took him a moment to realize that the scorpion demon was someone of great importance, and that killing it would inevitably lead to endless trouble.

Others might do this, but Yang Jian would never do it.

"Oh, Guanyin Bodhisattva, your master was attacked and killed by a scorpion demon at the Eight Treasures Merit Pool!"

Yang Jian himself was unwilling to do this kind of work. He shouted repeatedly to Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was riding the wind and waves to avoid the poisonous smoke in the distance, clearly hoping that Guanyin Bodhisattva would go and wade into the muddy waters.

"Manjushri Bodhisattva, look over there quickly!"

"Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, that scorpion demon is very fierce, watch out for its tail!"

After exchanging a glance with Zhang Xuezhou, Yang Jian tacitly began to encourage the other cultivators.

What are you all doing here...?

"Don't ask so many questions, go and hunt down the killer!"

"The leader of the Zhunti an empty shell left; his death was so tragic!"

Before the first Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara could finish asking his question, he was dismissed by the two.

"Even the cult leader has been killed, will we be killed too?"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's face turned ashen. When he looked at the human skin that Zhang Xuezhou and the others had picked up, his mind went blank. He felt that the Western Sect was on the verge of collapse and that everything was in vain.

"Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, come quickly! The murderer is over there!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva was filled with righteous indignation, but when he saw the only remaining skin of the Zhunti Master floating in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If the scorpion demon hadn't killed a powerful cultivator like the notorious Master Zhunti, they wouldn't have hesitated to attack. But Zhunti has been killed, their chances of dying if they rashly pursue the killer would be very high.

Moreover, there were strange expressions on everyone's faces, while Manjushri Bodhisattva's face showed a hint of relief in addition to fear.

Fear arose from facing such a sudden and formidable foe as the scorpion demon, while relief came from the fact that the one who controlled him was dead.

Once the constraints were lifted, Manjushri Bodhisattva felt a complete change in himself.

He was undoubtedly willing to Zhunti the leader of the Zhunti sect, but Manjushri Bodhisattva hoped that the Zhunti sect would not come back to life.

"Where is the Grand Master?"

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was the fourth great Western Sect cultivator to arrive. He asked a question, and then, encouraged by the other three Bodhisattvas, he didn't think too much and went straight in the direction the crowd was pointing.

"Those in charge here, you must catch the murderer!"

Guanzizai Bodhisattva and the others had many ulterior motives. Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was safer for these bodhisattvas to persuade people than for him to do so himself. After all, he and Yang Jian were outsiders to the Western Sect, and the Western Sect cultivators naturally resisted them and would be wary of them instigating them.

However, the Western Sect monks would not be wary of Guanyin Bodhisattva and others. Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the scorpion demon that kept disappearing into the dense forest in the distance and felt a sense of relief.

No matter how powerful the scorpion demon is, its speed in flying and running is too inferior. If the Spirit Mountain Shuttle Array is cut off, Zhang Xuezhou even doubts that the demon will be able to leave the secret realm.

At this time, cultivators from Mount Ling could not descend to the mortal realm, and cultivators from the Immortal Court could not enter the upper realm. Zhang Xuezhou felt that with the arrival of the Goddess Houtu, there was nowhere to escape.

If the other party is killed by the Western Sect monks, things will return to square one.

Having learned the location where Houtu Niangniang forged her demonic body, Zhang Xuezhou obviously wouldn't leave the Eight Treasures Merit Pool untouched.

He glanced at the thousand-petaled golden lotus on the pond's surface, and immediately imprinted his Stone Transformation Technique on his right hand.

"The Eight Treasures Merit Pool isn't actually made of jade!"

Since his most familiar Stone Transformation Technique was ineffective, Zhang Xuezhou felt he would likely have to resort to Huangshazong's sand-transforming technique.

The Stone Transformation Technique can only be used on stone materials, while the Sand Transformation Technique is not so restrictive. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the quality of materials it can be used on, and it can even directly destroy Law Treasure.

Zhang Xuezhou lacked skill in this particular Daoist art, but his cultivation level was high enough.

What are you doing?

As Yang Jian repeatedly adjusted his preparations for casting the Sand-Dissolving Technique, he whispered a question in Yang Jian's ear.

Yang Jian hid himself well within the Western Sect and remained undiscovered for a long time. He was quite satisfied with his abilities.

However, Zhang Xuezhou and his group had a completely different style. Yang Jian didn't know what Zhang Xuezhou was thinking, or why he was not afraid of being besieged by the Western Sect cultivators, and even dared to collude with the Buddha's son to openly rob the Seven Treasures Tree.

Judging from this guy's words and actions, he didn't know about the Zhunti beforehand. Yang Jian felt that the guy was incredibly audacious.

"I'm thinking of filling this pool with water, then digging up the roots of the Seven Treasures Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus to see if I can reshape Nezha's body!"

Zhang Xuezhou's casual response surprised Yang Jian slightly. Thinking about what Zhang Xuezhou had done, he felt that Zhang Xuezhou was too righteous in his efforts to revive Nezha.

Yang Jian transformed into the Chongming Bird, intending to secretly steal some materials and Zhunti how Master Zhunti and others were recuperating and adjusting their bodies. Little did he know that he would not only fail to obtain the materials, but Master Zhunti, who had been watching him, had already died.

Yang Jian didn't dare overstep his bounds and recklessly chase the scorpion demon on behalf of the Western Sect, since his presence here was already a complicated matter, and he might even be implicated.

If Zhang Xuezhou and others hadn't shown up and caused trouble, he would still be in his bird-like state.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou take advantage of the chaos to destroy the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and glancing at the pale yellow poisonous gas around him, and watching the three bodhisattvas constantly shouting and directing the pursuit of the scorpion demon, he couldn't help but take this opportunity to start pulling on the Seven Treasures Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus, trying to pull out the lotus root of this Western Sect's chaotic Spirit Root.
