Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Who exactly did Chapter 176 offend?

"but……"

Yang Jian glanced around and asked in surprise, "Where is my master?"

He did not have the message scroll that Yu Ding had, so Yu Ding used the message jade slip.

The message was brief, just four words: "Disciple, come quickly!"

This prompted Yang Jian, who was idly playing with the dog, to rush over without saying a word.

Before any reply could be received, two luminous figures clashed together, like two suns meeting. A mushroom cloud-like shockwave erupted and dissipated, and the two figures engaged in a fierce battle.

"This..." Yang Jian, who had been searching for his master just a moment ago, was instantly captivated by the battle and exclaimed in disbelief, "A celestial being?"

He was also somewhat incredulous.

What Yu Ding passed on to him was the Eight-Nine Arcane Skill, which was known as the number one guardian skill of the Chan Sect.

The term "protector of the Dharma" refers to one who upholds and protects the Dharma.

The other disciples under the Jade Void Sect mostly practiced self-cultivation and character building. Compared to their fellow disciples who exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, the role of Dharma Protector was more like that of a battle immortal.

Born to fight, forge ahead without hesitation!

After all, one cannot protect the Dao without great strength.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is an arcane art that cultivates both physical body and magical power, and also has the ability to transform, making it one of the top-tier techniques of Jade Void.

It was precisely because he also cultivated the physical body that he could see just how outrageous the visual effects displayed by that celestial being were.

"Is... this really possible?"

Yang Jian murmured to himself, thinking that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts he cultivated had made his Dao body extremely powerful, comparable to races like dragons, phoenixes, witches, and demons.

But to fight across realms like this...

"Senior Uncle, that fellow Daoist is cultivating...?" Yang Jian looked at Taiyi.

"Physical Achievement!"

Taiyi nodded slowly and said.

In terms of the ways to become an immortal, there are roughly three levels in this world: the superior ones ascend to the void and are called celestial immortals; the middle ones travel to famous mountains and are called earth immortals; and the inferior ones die first and then shed their skin and become immortals who have achieved the "corpse liberation" (or "corpse liberation").

The term "corpse-dissolving immortal" refers to someone whose Yang spirit has been formed, breaking free from the constraints of form and flesh to become an immortal, much like a cicada shedding its shell.

The spirit has been formed, and the physical body is useless. Many people who obtain the peaches of immortality and eat the elixir of immortality are generally like this.

Even with magical powers surpassing those of ordinary people, they are truly no match for Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals who have cultivated themselves.

Celestial Immortals and Earthly Immortals cultivate themselves and do not lose their physical bodies.

Becoming an immortal is more like a sublimation of life. Even an earth immortal can live forever and has powerful abilities such as self-healing.

The attainment of sainthood through physical cultivation refers to the practice of some immortals who, dissatisfied with their immortal bodies, embark on a path of cultivating both physical body and magical power.

After all, compared to races like demons and dragons who are born with exceptionally strong physical bodies,

Ordinary immortal bodies are no match for them, putting them at a disadvantage in battles, forcing them to rely on spells and magical artifacts to fight back...

"really!"

Excitement gleamed in Yang Jian's eyes: "I wonder who that fellow Daoist is. I really want to learn a thing or two from him."

"Ahem..."

Taiyi gave Yang Jian a meaningful look, then looked at the battlefield and said, "Take a close look and see if you can see anything."

"What's the point of two brutes fighting without even bringing out their treasures to fight?" Huang Long curled his lip.

Yang Jian stared ahead for a moment, then his eyes flashed: "That masked one... is not human. He seems to be holding back his strength and has not used his true abilities."

"Of course!"

Taiyi smiled, his eyes flashing, and said, "Then use your Heavenly Eye to take another look and see what kind of thing it is."

"Someone's coming... Damn it..."

Bifang and Yuding each braced their right arms forward, pressing them together. With a loud boom, the air churned away like ocean waves.

His gaze grew even colder after he sensed someone's arrival.

He sensed three more auras, two of which were as vast as the ocean and were released, but they did not make a move, leaving him unsure of their intentions.

Another celestial being...

"My helper has arrived. What, are you still not going to reveal your true form?"

Yu Ding's body shimmered with light, his eyes burning like two small suns, and he smiled with divine light flowing from the corners of his eyes.

He has probably already tested the power of the Six Revolutions Profound Technique.

Although he looked imposing and pretentious, he knew that this was not the other party's true strength.

After all, this is a demon, but it hasn't revealed its true form yet...

He knew that the other party must be feeling extremely frustrated at this moment, as his fire-based supernatural powers were perfectly countered by his Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.

Even the powerful being's signature skill, Heaven and Earth Domain, couldn't defeat him...

This forces the opponent to rely solely on their physical strength within his rhythm, but the demon race's greatest strength, besides their signature skills, is undoubtedly their true form.

The fact that the other party doesn't show it is because they have reservations.

After all, he was kidnapping a princess of the Heavenly Court. Once his identity is exposed, he will probably be hunted down by the Heavenly Court.

Yang Jian hummed in the distance, closed his eyes, and ran his hand across his forehead. His brow shone with a silver light that illuminated the two people locked in a stalemate in front of him.

At this moment, Bi Fang indeed harbored doubts, just as Yu Ding had analyzed.

He hadn't expected this guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to be so troublesome, managing to hold him back for so long.

But now Longji has run away, and whether the reinforcements that came are from the other side... remains to be determined, but what is certain is that this mission has basically failed.

Although I'm reluctant, I have to leave now...

As Bi Fang was pondering, a sudden thought struck him. He turned to look in Yang Jian's direction, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

"Get out of my way!" Bifang roared to the sky.

An overwhelming force burst forth from his body, sending the jade cauldron flying with a deafening boom.

In the sky, flames roared, and a ferocious bird, its body engulfed in flames and its feathers a mix of blue and red, with two wings and one leg, as large as a mountain, soared into the sky.

With a pair of fierce eyes as red as the moon, she glanced venomously at the jade cauldron before tearing through the void and flying away into the distance.

"Are you guys just going to stand there and watch?"

Yu Ding steadied himself and patted away the demonic flames on his body. Thanks to the purple sash immortal robe, he was unharmed, but his face turned dark.

These bastards came and didn't help at all, they just stood there quietly watching...

You should know that he came here specifically to fight this battle just to test his profound skills. He prefers a righteous brawl to a one-on-one fight.

His motto is: If you can sit, don't stand; if you can gang up on someone, don't go it alone.

"Bifang?!"

Taiyi Zhenren was also greatly surprised to see the firebird: "How did this wretched creature escape? You wretched creature, stop right there for me!"

The sound rolled out, and in the distance, the Bifang, which was flapping its wings, suddenly froze.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to chase after them?"

Taiyi patted Yang Jian beside him, then glanced at the jade cauldron and transformed into a rainbow, flying rapidly forward.

"Words become law..."

Yang Jian and Bi Fang spoke at the same time.

One had gleaming eyes, while the other looked fierce and menacing.

However, the effect of this supernatural power did not last long. In just a moment, Bi Fang broke free and flapped his wings forward again.

Huanglong and Taiyi took a step, and the void beneath their feet kept shrinking. Each step covered tens of thousands of miles, and in the blink of an eye, they had Bifang trapped in the center.

"My senior martial uncle has arrived!"

Below, Longji, who was watching the battle, was delighted; his master was indeed very thorough in his work.

But... where is Master?

It turns out this fellow is Bifang... At this moment, Yu Ding had taken advantage of the chaos to find a small grove of trees, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the bird with flames raging in the sky.

The Ancient Demon Court is led by two powerful figures, the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor, followed by the Demon Master Kunpeng, who is roughly equivalent to a national advisor.

Next up are the Ten Ancient Demon Saints...

However, most of these ten demon saints perished in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, while Bi Fang, though not a demon saint, was a key figure in the Demon Court.

At this moment, Bifang appeared, and it seems that it is now very clear who is making the move.

Yu Ding's eyes immediately turned cold.

First they plotted against Yuan Hong and Yang Jian, and now they've captured another of his disciples... This remnant of the Demon Court is truly a menace.

Yu Ding lowered his head and disappeared into the grove.

"You wretched creature, you can't escape now, can you?"

Huang Long stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

Bi Fang glanced at Huang Long, then at Taiyi Zhenren behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I have never offended either of you, nor have I ever met you. You two possess an extraordinary air of immortality and demeanor, which is rare in the world. I wonder why you are blocking our way?"

“Junior brother, look, he doesn’t even recognize us… This is really disappointing!” Huang Long shook his head.

But this is not surprising.

When the demon race was powerful and considered Tian Lao Da and his ilk second in rank, the members of the Chan Sect did not venture out to get involved in the messes outside. Therefore, they had almost no interaction with the demon race.

It didn't exist before, and naturally it won't exist now.

Taiyi Zhenren stared at Bifang and smiled, "We two stopped you on someone's behalf, please don't be offended. Please wait here for a moment for the person who asked you to come."

"Who asked you to do this?" Bi Fang transformed into human form and stared coldly at the two of them.

Huang Long glanced at him and said, "Of course it's our junior brother. Could it be you?"

Who exactly are you two?

Bi Fang stared at Taiyi and Huanglong and said in a deep voice.

"I am Huanglong Zhenren from Erxian Mountain, Magu Cave!" Huanglong said with some pride.

"Huanglong Zhenren...Chan Sect?! No wonder!"

Bi Fang's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Taiyi somewhat awkwardly, saying, "Then you are..."

Although they had never had any dealings with the Chan Sect, the names of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void had been circulating in the prehistoric world for a long time.

He said, "How come two powerful beings suddenly appeared? Even the most powerful beings in the world aren't so worthless!"
But if it's about Jade Void Palace, then everything makes sense...

These twelve Golden Immortals were personally taught by a sage, and were all powerful figures. They were also trained by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and each of them possessed great supernatural powers and extraordinary magical abilities, which made him feel disheartened.

Taiyi smiled and said, "I am Taiyi Zhenren from Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain."

Bi Fang's face was slightly pale, but he still forced a smile and said, "This matter... isn't there some misunderstanding?"

When the Demon Court was at its zenith, the Three Pure Ones had not yet attained enlightenment, but even their Demon Emperor had to give face to these three.

Moreover, things have changed drastically since then.

Their demon court has collapsed, the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor have perished, while the Three Pure Ones have attained the status of Primordial Saints and manifested their divine power throughout the primordial world...

Times have changed... Bi Fang sighed inwardly!
Of course, if it were just Huanglong, he might dare to take a gamble, but with Taiyi Zhenren added...

How to fight this?
"Uncle-Master!" Yang Jian arrived riding on his escape light, a wry smile on his face.

His two senior brothers were unreliable, but as unreliable as they were, their ability to shrink distances was truly fast, giving him a good chase.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, that's none of my business."

Taiyi smiled and a glint in his eyes: "You'll have to wait until our junior brother arrives to discuss this matter."

At this moment, Longji was still on his way, riding the escape light.

"Your Highness, may we... return to Phoenix Mountain and wait for you?" the rhinoceros beetles asked nervously.

"Why?" Longji asked in surprise.

The three demons exchanged glances, and Niu Dali quickly said, "We've never met such an important person before, and we're afraid of losing our composure."

In fact, they had heard that the Chan Sect was quite averse to those who were born with fur and horns, or those who were born from eggs.

"Are you sure? This is a golden opportunity!"

Longji raised an eyebrow and said, "What if one of my senior uncles or master aunts takes a liking to you and uses you as a mount..."

Niu Dali silently touched the horns on his head and the fur on the back of his hand... and decisively shook his head.

If it comes to opportunities, the Jade Cauldron Immortal is enough.

Mounts... Thunder Shadow Leopard King and Rhinoceros Beetle exchanged a glance.

"Then go back and wait for me at Phoenix Mountain!" Longji stepped into the air and flew away.

The rhinoceros beetle, Niu Dali, and Lei Ying Leopard King watched Long Ji disappear into the distance.

“Let’s go!” Niu Dali shook his head and prepared to head to Phoenix Mountain.

"No, third brother, are you really planning to go back?" Thunder Shadow Leopard King asked, his eyes flashing.

Niu Dali suddenly looked up: "What do you mean?"

Lei Ying, the Leopard King, put his arm around Niu Dali's shoulder and laughed, "Look, now we brothers have spiritual veins and dragon veins in our hands. That's enough for us to cultivate for tens of thousands of years and become celestial immortals. Isn't it better to be carefree and unrestrained? Why should we be their mounts?"

"Big brother, you...think so too?"

Niu Dali looked at the rhinoceros beetle in astonishment: "No...why?"

The rhinoceros beetle nodded slightly: "For freedom!"

"No, His Highness Longji has treated us very well!" Niu Dali murmured.

Thunder Shadow Leopard King sighed, "I risked my life for her once, so we're even. I could feel death so close to me just now, and life is so beautiful..."

"Then... what about Immortal Jade Cauldron?" Niu Dali asked in a low voice.

"Who is that person? Do you think you have nothing better to do than stare at them all day?"

Thunder Shadow Leopard King waved his hand to comfort him, saying, "As long as we stay true to ourselves and do no evil, Immortal Jade Cauldron will not interfere with us."

Niu Dali clenched his fists, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"Third brother, let's go. Look at that bastard, he used us to do his job, but he still wants to kill us."

The rhinoceros beetle sighed, "The waters of this outside world are really too damn deep. You're too naive and too young. If you can't handle these things, you'll get played and killed sooner or later if you stay here."

"Big brother, second brother, you always say I'm silly and stupid... Actually, I'm neither silly nor stupid."

Niu Dali looked up and grinned with a sly smile: "Sometimes I'm pretty clever. I understand all these things in my heart, I just don't say it out loud."

"Lao San, you..."

The rhinoceros beetle and the Thunder Shadow Leopard King looked at Niu Dali in surprise, somewhat speechless.

If you understand, then why didn't you see through Bifang's trap?

It's clear the third brother wanted to smile this time, to appear more witty, but this smile...

No matter how you look at it, it's just so stupid!

"Big brother, second brother, you two go. This time... I'm not leaving."

Niu Dali looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Don't try to persuade me anymore. The world is so big, I want to go and explore it!"

Good news is on the horizon... Rhinoceros Beetle and Thunder Shadow Leopard King exchanged a glance: "Alright! Take care!"

"Hey, hey? You guys...aren't you going to try to stop me?!"

Niu Dali turned around abruptly. He had said those words and decided not to leave, but he still wanted to hear his brothers' attempts to persuade him to stay!
As soon as he turned around, he saw two streaks of light disappearing into the distance, moving swiftly and decisively without any hesitation.

"Alright, even though we'll be on different paths in the future, our brotherhood will never change... right?"

Niu Dali was sighing when he suddenly paused, as if remembering something: "Something seems off. Right, I haven't given you my share of the spiritual vein and dragon vein yet. Damn it, you son of a bitch, leave mine here..."

He wanted to chase after them, but the two streaks of light had already turned into two bright stars on the horizon.

“You two…you’re so disloyal…” Niu Dali stared blankly at the horizon, on the verge of tears.

"Second brother, we didn't leave any of the spiritual veins and dragon veins for the third brother... isn't that a bit unfair?" The rhinoceros beetle felt a little guilty.

Thunder Shadow Leopard King laughed, "What are you talking about? You've seen how generous that young prince is. If Third Brother follows them, how could he not get the benefits?"

“That makes sense, what you said makes sense!” The rhinoceros beetle nodded with a smile.

"Fellow Taoists, please stay!"

As they were walking, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.

……

“Your junior brothers… I wonder which one I have offended?” Bi Fang frowned, deep in thought.

He genuinely didn't know who he had offended.

“My master!” Yang Jian said coldly.

Having been humiliated by a mere celestial being, Bifang had never suffered such disgrace before, but at this moment he could only cautiously ask, "May I ask who your master is...?"

hum!
At this moment, the void distorted, and a figure with a calm demeanor stepped out.

Is it him...? Bi Fang's pupils contracted. As expected, it was another powerful being.

"Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi, what brings you here?" Huang Long asked in surprise.

Yun Zhongzi smiled and said, "How could I not come when my senior brother summoned me?"

Yang Jian greeted him politely, saying, "Greetings, Uncle-Master Yun Zhongzi."

Not the main characters yet... Bi's muscles twitched as he looked at the three people occupying the east, west, and north positions.

Yang Jian stood in the south...

He mobilized three powerful figures from Jade Void Palace all at once. Who did he offend this time?

At this moment, a snow-white sword light pierced the sky in the distance and arrived in an instant. The sword light flashed and transformed into two figures, occupying the southern position.

It was Longji and a Taoist priest.

Bi Fang's gaze instantly fell on the Taoist who was wearing a light blue cloud-patterned Taoist robe and had a simple jade hairpin in his hair, but whose temperament was as gentle as jade and exuded the aura of a great power. His pupils shrank again... Another great power?
His heart sank into an ice cellar. Who had he offended?

But he doesn't recognize him, seeing him with Longji... Could it be...?

Yu Ding greeted Huang Long, Tai Yi, and Yun Zhongzi, who had come to help out.

"Master!" Yang Jian quickly bowed.

"Who are you...?" Bi Fang asked, forcing himself to speak.

Longji laughed and said, "Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Cloud Cave, Jade Cauldron Immortal, who was also my master whom you said was not worth mentioning, do you recognize him now?"
