Capítulo 1567: Chapter 565: Direct Confrontation (Part 2)
Li Ping’an secretly shook his head.
This map cannon is really not acceptable.
How many heartless people are there in the Dragon Clan? They have their own understanding of freedom and loyalty, regardless of gender.
Then, listening to the persuasion of the Intercepting Sect Immortal:
“Senior Brother Ma Yuan, this poor Daoist knows you are indignant about Senior Sister Shiji being deceived by that Huanglong, but today is indeed not the day to settle accounts with Huanglong. The Jade Void Palace is holding a grand meeting. It’s better for us to avoid the confrontation.”
“That’s right, Junior Brother Ma Yuan, the tensions between the two teachings are already quite high. If things get out of hand, it would be difficult to resolve them!”
“We cannot bear the blame for starting a war between Chan and Jie sects; retreat, retreat!”
The Immortal of Unity, Ma Yuan, tightly furrowed his brows.
He was indeed infuriated upon hearing about this matter before, and acted impulsively in anger.
Now, blown by the northwest wind, he also came to his senses.
Even though he felt indignant for his senior sister, acting this way now might indeed lead to a war between Chan and Jie sects, with the reason being claimed as the Intercepting Sect intentionally provoking a conflict.
Ma Yuan was just about to say, “I was also confused by the calamity,” to find a way down for himself.
Yet he heard the sigh from behind, from Rabbit Immortal, one of the attending Seven Immortals:
“Ma Yuan, you really shouldn’t be so rash. Now those Chan Teaching Immortals have arrived, and soon Immortal Huanglong will be here as we speak.”
“If we retreat, let’s do it quickly, so that when Immortal Huanglong arrives, we won’t be seen as fearing the reputation of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching!”
An Intercepting Sect Immortal immediately said, “Why retreat! We are in the right, what are we afraid of! Confront them!”
“Exactly! How can they act ! Our Junior Sister Shiji was practicing well, and then Immortal Huanglong came and now wants to leave? What does he take us for!”
“Honestly speaking, the Chan Teaching really doesn’t respect us! They think we’re just a ragtag bunch, an unruly crowd!”
Ma Yuan’s nostrils trembled constantly; at this moment, leaving is not an option, turning back would be a laughingstock.
He stood still, his expression went through several changes, finally settling into a fierce look.
From the northwest, streams of light flew in.
Two golden clouds appeared in the sky, as the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals patrolling the world rushed here to keep an eye, lest there be any ‘large-scale skirmish’.
At the side, Shiji seeing this, couldn’t help but have a sorrowful expression:
“Fellow sect members, I know you stand up for me; I shouldn’t say much.
“But this is, after all, my personal affair.
“Between Huanglong and me, it’s not about abandoning anyone, rather we are unwilling to leave our respective positions, hence wanting to separate.
“I don’t know where you heard it, saying Huanglong abandoned me, this… it’s really not true. We treat each other with courtesy, if not as close as family.”
“If my fellows could consider my reputation, please return now.” The source of thɪs content is novel·fiɾe·net
These words were spoken with sincere intention, revealing understanding.
Even Li Ping’an looked up to Shiji, feeling that this Female Immortal, without saying anything else, just her manners and clarity, already deserved Immortal Huanglong.
Immortal Dingguang, with long ears, spoke again:
“Shiji considers the big picture and bears the grievance herself, truly making this poor Daoist feel emotional.
“Everyone, listen to Shiji’s advice. We lose some face, we lose some face, the Intercepting Sect loses some prestige, it’s no big deal.
“The unity of the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect is the big picture. Chan Teaching is the fundamental integrity of heaven and earth. We have practiced from ancient times to now. Despite the shelter of the great sects, we should not be reckless.”
An Intercepting Sect Immortal retorted displeased, “What does Rabbit Immortal mean? Are we not fundamentally upright?”
“Exactly! This poor Daoist truly dislikes Rabbit Immortal’s words. Why should their Chan Teaching be superior to our Jie Sect?”
Fire Spirit Mother scolded, “The Dao Immortal Tribulation is approaching; everyone relies on their own ability to pass through it!”
Another Immortal said, “Our Intercepting Sect draws the ten thousand immortals, fundamentally not afraid!”
The more these Immortals spoke, the more they were filled with righteous indignation.
At this moment, the Chan Teaching group of immortals had arrived, led by Immortal Huanglong, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He opened his mouth with an angry reprimand:
“Ma Yuan! Here is no place for you to run wild!
“Why don’t you retreat quickly!”
Ma Yuan cursed furiously, “Good for you, Huanglong! How can the Intercepting Sect female immortal be abandoned by you! Today should be a battle between us, determining the victor!”
“This poor Daoist is not afraid of you!”
Immortal Huanglong shouted angrily, a golden dragon virtual image directly manifested behind him, the Dao Realm of the Peak of Taiyi Realm, and mana comparable to Da Luo enveloped his entire body.
Though without heavy treasures on him;
But the pressure exerted by Immortal Huanglong at this moment indeed did not fall short of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching’s reputation.
Moreover, dozens of Precept Teaching Immortals released their own pressure, glaring at the Intercepting Sect Immortals.
The Intercepting Sect Immortals were not to be outdone, a group of immortals simultaneously took out their magical artifacts, rolled up their sleeves, ready to engage in a great fight right here!
Shi Ji flashed in front of Immortal Huanglong, tears welled up in her phoenix eyes:
“Why do you want to act without even asking!”
Immortal Huanglong looked down to the side, closing his eyes with a light sigh.
Shi Ji turned to Ma Yuan, her voice already tinged with anger: “Why do you have to stand up for me! Do I need you to stand up for me? We are merely fellow disciples, how could you tarnish my reputation !”
Ma Yuan turned his head and remained silent.
Shi Ji’s breathing was somewhat labored, her body continuously trembling, she declared firmly:
“Knowing that the Daoist Celestial Consecration Tribulation is approaching, maybe this tribulation has already arrived, the Saint teacher repeatedly admonished us to stay behind closed doors, yet you come here to provoke.
“The matter between Huanglong and me is ultimately our own issue, whether separation or unity, it’s up to us to bear ourselves.
“What does it have to do with you all?”
Ma Yuan said in a humming voice: “I just find Huanglong too detestable, having gained benefits yet still pretending to be virtuous, even daring to speak ill of you.”
Huanglong pointed at Ma Yuan and cursed: “You scoundrels! Do you think I don’t know your intentions!”
“Huanglong, don’t waste time saying useless things!”
“You and I need not involve others, let’s fight outside of Heaven and Earth!
“Regardless of win or lose, this poor Daoist will not meddle in your affairs anymore!”
Immortal Huanglong dashed directly toward the Nine Heavens, Ma Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a black-red aura erupted from him, accompanied by the sound of ghostly wails, chasing after the figure of Immortal Huanglong.
Seeing this, Shi Ji blanched, bit her lip hard, then stomped her foot and cursed:
“Fight! Fight! This poor Daoist truly cannot control it!
“Each thinks highly of themselves, each speaks on their own, who really sees this poor Daoist? Today I vow to the Heavenly Dao! From this day forth, whether it’s Huanglong or Ma Yuan, they have nothing to do with this poor Daoist anymore!
“If you still recognize me as a fellow disciple, then follow me back!”
Shi Ji looked toward the Intercepting Sect immortals.
The Fire Spirit Mother frowned and pursed her lips, stepped forward to support Shi Ji, and whispered: “Do not be angry, they indeed have gone too far, I will follow you back.”
A dozen Intercepting Sect Immortals also sighed, walking behind Shi Ji.
Shi Ji rode the clouds and left with these Intercepting Sect Immortals.
Long-eared Dingguang Immortal’s gaze shifted, he spoke slowly: “Since the parties involved do not wish to pursue, what are we doing here? Let’s return together.”
At this moment, laughter came from behind the Precept Teaching Immortals, it was Immortal Taiyi:
“This place is only a thousand miles from the Jade Void Palace, according to the Desolate Era’s rules, the mountain gates of the Great Sects stretch ten thousand miles, since you’ve all come, simply leaving might not be appropriate.”
“Uncle Taiyi, what do you mean by this?”
The Fire Spirit Mother stood out, her graceful figure emitting a luminous glow, surrounded by fiery pythons.
She said proudly: “This matter has its complexities, we came to seek justice for our fellow disciples, is that not correct? If Uncle Taiyi is unwilling to let us leave empty-handed, then today we might as well sit before the mountain gate of Jade Void Palace and cry our grievances to Teacher Ancestor!”
Immortal Taiyi’s figure hid at the back, his voice transmitted everywhere:
“Little girl seems quite articulate, however, the Heavenly Emperor is in Jade Void Palace now, do you know that you have already disturbed the Heavenly Emperor’s presence?
“Today this poor Daoist won’t make things difficult for you, just make a Daoist bow to the Jade Void Palace, consider it an apology.
“Otherwise, this poor Daoist truly will invite the Heavenly Emperor to come forth and discuss the rights and wrongs of this matter.”
Inside Jade Void Palace, Li Ping’an listened to Immortal Taiyi’s words, feeling slightly displeased.
It was obvious that Taiyi was deliberately creating an illusion of him, the Heavenly Emperor, favoring the Precept Teaching, thereby giving Precept Teaching ‘void creation’.
However, Li Ping’an could also hear that Immortal Taiyi had somewhat restrained himself, not going all-out in mockery.
He too feared the two sects might actually start a fight?
In the circle cloud mirror, Shi Ji lowered her head and made a Daoist bow, the Intercepting Sect immortals did likewise.
Inside Jade Void Palace, there was Yuqing Saint, their bowing was not a big deal.
The Fire Spirit Mother’s face was full of disgruntlement, she pursed her lips and hummed, unwillingly bowing.
Long-eared Dingguang Immortal casually raised his hand in a bow, muttering something under his breath, his mutterings loud enough.
“Bully backed by power.”
A Precept Teaching Immortal shouted firmly: “Stop right there! Rabbit-eared scoundrel, what are you saying!”
