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

Chapter 410 Tongtian: Hand over the compensation!
Shen Gongbao was very popular and well-connected at Biyou Palace.

However, after someone brought up the topic of Jade Void Palace, several scrutinizing and hostile gazes inevitably appeared in the crowd.

Shen Gongbao remained calm and showed no sign of guilt.

He was frank because he was certain that this matter had nothing to do with the Jade Void Palace; even a child could figure that out.

In the entire Jade Void Palace, only a few senior brothers could defeat several powerful figures like this; no one else had the ability or skill to do so.

Unfortunately, those twelve senior brothers were facing a calamity of death and were reportedly busy teaching their disciples to overcome their tribulations. They had no time to pay attention to these few.
Moreover, all the jade tripods bestowed upon my senior brother by those seven immortal attendants have been robbed...

"All……"

At this thought, Shen Gongbao suddenly remembered something: the few guys lying on the ground, barely clinging to life, happened to be the ones who had a grudge against Senior Brother Yu Ding, while Fa Jie and Gui Ling Shengmu, who had no grudge against him, were in a sorry state but perfectly fine.

"This must be... a coincidence, right?!"

Shen Gongbao glanced at the growing number of Biyou Sect members, which was now approaching a hundred, and cold sweat slowly seeped from his nose.

Although he was indeed pleased that these guys were injured, and he didn't know who had vented their anger, it had nothing to do with the Jade Void Palace.

His reasons were quite valid: all twelve senior brothers had their own cliques, and the senior brothers in Yu Ding's clique were all too busy to help. As for the other senior brothers, Wen Shu, it was because he had a very bad relationship with Yu Ding...

To deal with a lineup of five powerful beings and two Golden Immortals

Besides those twelve senior brothers, the entire Jade Void Palace only has the sect leader, the deputy sect leader, and the Antarctic senior brother left, but why would these people take action?
Shen Gongbao kept searching for reasons to convince himself, but even he found himself becoming more and more insecure, his heart feeling like it was being fried in oil.

After all, to call it a coincidence... well, it really is too much of a coincidence.

If this really has anything to do with the Jade Void Palace, then Old Shen would have to give up his life here today.

"No, it has nothing to do with Jade Void Palace. We were set up."

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit spat out those words through gritted teeth, her face contorted with resentment.

As one of the largest forces in the world today, the Jie Sect has reached its peak and can be described as having all the immortals paying homage. Looking across the entire prehistoric world, who would dare to touch the immortals of the Jie Sect?

Not to mention that they were disciples personally taught by the Sage of Heaven, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?

If they find out who did this, they will search high and low, even to the ends of the earth, to demand an explanation and vent their anger.

Of course, she was unaware that her words had rescued Shen Gongbao from his torment.

The Holy Mother of Tortoise Spirit then recounted what had happened.

However, the part about them trying to steal the treasure and not being friendly to them was omitted; it was only said that they were tricked and then injured.

Alas… Shen Gongbao felt his soul had been redeemed, and then looked at the Turtle Spirit Mother who was recounting the events to the crowd.

The wicked woman, whom I had cursed countless times in my heart, seemed to be shining brightly in the crowd.

"Six people? And you separated them all?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

There is no doubt that a sinister force is orchestrating and scheming behind this incident.

Some were responsible for luring them into the game, some for distracting them, and some for restraining them... They would strike and leave without any hesitation.

The arrangements for everyone were made perfectly clear.

"It's not from the Jade Void lineage..."

Some people seemed slightly disappointed with this answer. Shen Gongbao glanced at it and saw that it was Qin Wan, a Golden Immortal. But the most powerful thing about this immortal was that he could set up a Heavenly Absolute Formation.

Qin Wan, is it? I, Old Shen, will remember you… Shen Gongbao withdrew his gaze.

"Do you fellow disciples still remember what the assailants who attacked you looked like and what their characteristics were?" asked a female immortal in a light gold Taoist robe.

Golden Light Holy Mother… Shen Gongbao’s heart stirred. All these years he had spent in the Jie Sect had not been in vain. He recognized the female immortal’s identity at a glance.

In fact, he not only met many immortals on Jin'ao Island, but also in other places.

This Golden Light Holy Mother, along with Qin Wan and eight other Golden Immortals skilled in formations, were known as the Ten Heavenly Lords. Their formations were collectively called the Ten Absolute Formations, and were said to be incredibly powerful.

With his heart ripped out, Lingya Xian's eyes were somewhat empty as he said, "The one who hurt me was wearing a rooster mask... That's right! The one who hurt me was Dapeng!"

His emotions surged, his gaze intense, but his own waning energy also became somewhat disordered.

"The Great Roc?" The immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lingya Xian gritted his teeth and said, "The Phoenix's son, the Roc."

The Golden Light Saintess frowned and said, "Senior Brother, could you be mistaken? My Biyou Sect has never had any enmity with his Phoenix Clan, how could he..."

“There’s no mistake, my eyes don’t lie. As everyone knows, apart from that one in Beiming, there are only two Golden-Winged Rocs in the entire prehistoric world. Who else could it be but Fellow Daoist Yuyi besides the Roc?” Lingya Xian said through gritted teeth.

The Golden Light Mother hesitated and said, "I've heard that a Peng demon with impure bloodline once wreaked havoc in the Western Sea. Could it be...?"

"What level does the Western Sea have to compare itself to my Biyou Palace?"

Lingya Xian stared intently at her and said, "Or do you think that I, a great power, would be mistaken and injured by an unknown Peng demon?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Light Mother was taken aback. Looking at the Spirit Tooth Fairy's gaze, she suddenly realized something and fell silent.

She understood what this senior brother meant. This senior brother Lingya was a great power who had cultivated for countless years and was also a disciple of a saint.

If he were injured by a Winged Immortal or a Phoenix Child of the same level, that would be understandable. But if he were injured by an unknown Roc Demon, not only would he lose face, but his master and the Jie Sect would also become a laughing stock.

Therefore, it would be good if the real culprit could be found, but if not, then the roc, which is also a golden-winged roc, would have to take the blame even if it didn't want to.

So it was Fellow Daoist Dapeng who did this... Shen Gongbao silently made a mental note of it, and he would meet him and tell Dapeng the news tomorrow.

At this moment, Jin Guangxian's bloodied and mangled mouth moved: "@#￥￥%..."

The group exchanged bewildered glances: "What did you say, Senior Brother Jin Guang?"

The Spirit Tooth Fairy beside him said weakly, "He said the person who injured him wore a blue dragon mask, called herself the Blue Dragon, and was a female fairy."

"A female immortal? A blue dragon? Could it be related to the sacred blue dragon beast?" someone asked in astonishment.

At this moment, Jin Guangxian couldn't stand it anymore. His body trembled, and a golden primordial spirit emerged from his head, flying out and cursing, "Are you a pig-brain? Her name is Azure Dragon, not Eastern Azure Dragon, understand?"

The immortal, blushing with embarrassment after being scolded, retreated behind the crowd.

Turning his head, he met Shen Gongbao's gaze and could only offer a polite yet awkward smile.

Lingya Xian said speechlessly, "Get to the point!"

Jin Guangxian's primordial spirit then pondered and said, "Speaking of which... this immortal seems to have some connection with my Biyou Palace. She has cultivated four kinds of terrifying sword qi, and in my opinion, she already possesses eight-tenths of the sword form of the Zhuxian sword qi."

"The sword energy of the Immortal Slayer?"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Jie Sect looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent.

The Golden Light Holy Mother looked at Qiu Shou Xian and Ding Guang Xian and said, "Those two senior brothers..."

"The ones who injured us were a man and a woman. The man called himself Aries and said he was a battle immortal who had taken the path of physical immortality. His physical body was terrifying and could rival that of Fellow Daoist Qiu Shou. The woman called herself Green Snake and said she had the great power of a perfect Golden Immortal..." Fa Jie, who was not seriously injured, described the characteristics.

Aries... Green Snake...

For a moment, the members of the Jie Sect looked at each other in bewilderment. Dragon, chicken, sheep, snake... what kind of names are these?

The primordial spirit of Wuyun, which had been cut in half, sighed: "The one I encountered was called Silver Ape. He was a Golden Immortal and a Battle Immortal who followed the path of physical sainthood. He had a secret technique that could increase his combat power tenfold in a short time. Only a Great Luo Immortal could subdue him. But his most powerful skill was his swordsmanship."

The immortals glanced at the smooth cut on Wuyun Xian's body. Although the sword energy had dissipated, they all felt their hair stand on end.

Even Senior Brother Wuyun, the leader of the Seven Immortals, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike; what about them...?

At this time, more and more people gathered here.

What are you all doing?

Suddenly, a somewhat authoritative voice rang out from above everyone's heads. When they looked up, they saw that it was Daoist Duobao who had arrived. They quickly made way for Duobao to step forward.

"Huh? How did you get injured like this?"

Seeing the injuries on the group, even Daoist Duobao was taken aback. He then glanced at the crowd and said, "Everyone, disperse!"

He then said, "Turtle Spirit Qin Wan, bring them with you."

After hearing what Duobao Daoist said, the crowd had no choice but to disperse.

With the excitement over... Shen Gongbao, who was at the back of the crowd, was still somewhat unsatisfied. As the crowd dispersed, he quietly left Jin'ao Island.

……

Not long after, in the inner chamber of a cave.

The five seriously injured people were suspended in the air by the swirling immortal power. Daoist Duobao made a series of hand seals, sending immortal power and spiritual pills into their bodies to help them heal.

After completing these steps, the group landed and sat cross-legged on the ground, their internal energy surging as they circulated their magical power to heal themselves.

Daoist Duobao left the inner room and went outside, where he saw the Holy Mother Guiling and a young female immortal wearing a golden crown and a fiery red dress waiting for him.

"Master, how are my fellow disciples?" the female immortal asked hurriedly.

Daoist Duobao shook his head: "They were seriously injured this time. I can only protect their foundation and primordial spirit, but their cultivation will inevitably be damaged. How much they can preserve depends on themselves."

"Ah, why is this happening?"

The young female immortal murmured, then said angrily, "Master, you must avenge our uncles! It's been so many years, and no one has ever dared to lay a hand on us Biyou disciples."

She was none other than the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, a disciple of Daoist Duobao.

Although he was a third-generation disciple, he possessed exceptional talent and was only one step away from reaching the Golden Immortal realm. He was deeply favored by Duobao and was bestowed with many magical treasures.

Daoist Duobao ignored his disciple, simply sat down on the cloud bed, and calmly asked, "Turtle Spirit, what exactly happened?"

The Holy Mother Guiling then suggested that the Dharma Ring be sent out to travel and select some virtuous people to become her disciples. At first, their journey went smoothly, but who knew that they would encounter this incident as soon as they left the East Sea.

Similarly, the Holy Mother of Tortoise Spirits omitted the part about their greed.

"Is that right?"

Duobao looked directly at the Holy Mother Guiling, his gaze deep and his tone calm, and said, "I want to hear the truth."

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze. Duobao's deep eyes seemed to penetrate straight into her heart, so she had no choice but to tell the part that she had just omitted.

"You mean... you saw a top-grade innate spiritual treasure appear and became greedy?" Daoist Duobao frowned.

Guiling Shengmu quickly said, "Senior brother, now it seems that this was all a trap set by the other side against us."

Daoist Duobao sighed, "If you hadn't been greedy, you might not have encountered this calamity."

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was very dissatisfied, but did not know how to refute them, because they had indeed harbored evil intentions.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit retorted indignantly, "How can Master speak up for those villains and turn around to blame our uncles?"

It's clear they've set their sights on our senior uncles. Even if they manage to escape this time, there are likely other traps waiting for them.

"That's right, that's right!" Guiling Shengmu nodded hurriedly.

"Good girl, your uncle hasn't spoiled you for nothing." Daoist Duobao didn't speak, but simply closed his eyes and began to rapidly perform calculations with his right hand.

After a long while, Duobao opened his eyes and shook his head at the expectant Turtle Spirit and Fire Spirit, which disappointed the two.

Daoist Duobao stood up and said, "You were indeed at fault in this matter, but their actions were a bit too harsh. You wait here while I go and ask our teacher for a decision."

After saying this, Duobao left the cave and headed towards Biyou Palace.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Senior Brother Duobao was still on their side.

Biyou Palace.

The door was opened by a lazy-looking young Taoist priest, who bowed to Duobao upon seeing him and said, "Oh? Greetings, Senior Brother Duobao."

"Junior brother, there's no need for such formalities!"

Daoist Duobao smiled calmly and returned the greeting: "I have something to ask of my master. Please convey my request, junior brother."

The reason he cared so much about this young junior brother was simply because the person in front of him was his master's last disciple, whose Daoist name was Tiantong!
His master's Taoist name was Tongtian, and a while ago he somehow produced this closed-door disciple, giving him the Taoist name Tiantong... Isn't all of this obvious?

"Senior brother, you can go in on your own. Why bother announcing anything?" Tian Tong said with a smile.

Duobao shook his head: "Propriety must not be disregarded!"

"Alright! Then please wait a moment, senior brother."

Tian Tong slammed the door shut, then opened it again a second later and said with a smile, "Senior brother, Master invites you in. Please go in, I'll continue guarding the door."

Upon seeing this, Daoist Duobao was speechless and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, junior brother."

After speaking, he entered the gate and headed towards the central hall of Biyou Palace. Looking back from afar, he saw that Tian Tong Dao Ren was lazily lying down at the entrance again.

"Master really knows how to play games..." Duo Bao thought to himself. He was actually using the same tricks as his eldest uncle, and even making him his last disciple.

Did he really think he didn't sense the innate Shangqing Qi on this junior brother Tiantong's body?

In front of the Bagua Platform at the center of Biyou Palace.

Daoist Duobao reported this matter to the figure in the chaotic energy on the high platform.

Tongtian asked, "Then, in your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

Duobao pondered and said, "Although those junior brothers were at fault first, the other party was unprepared and acted too cruelly. Now those junior brothers are still lying in my cave."

After a pause, seeing that Tongtian did not react, he had no choice but to say, "Actually, the other party was very measured in his actions. He did not kill, but only damaged the foundation and magic power. This matter can be dealt with in a big or small way."

If it's minor, it might be resolved, but if we ignore it, it could get out and cause us to lose face in the prehistoric world, just like the Heavenly Court was once wreaked havoc.

Tongtian asked, "Do you remember the divination slips I gave you?"

Duobao said, "This disciple naturally remembers: keep the cave door tightly closed and quietly recite the Yellow Court Classic..."

He couldn't continue reading.

Tongtian said, "Firstly, they didn't listen to their master's words; secondly, their past behavior was domineering and unscrupulous; and thirdly, they have offended countless immortals in the past. It's no wonder they're facing this calamity. It's a good opportunity to teach them a lesson. As for my Biyou reputation... ha!"

The final, self-deprecating laugh sounded especially jarring to Duobao.

Tongtian said calmly, "This conferment of gods is another tribulation for immortals. It tests the character and nature of immortals. Those with deep roots will enjoy the immortal path, those with less will enjoy the divine path, and those with poor roots will enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Everyone has their own destiny. You can control your disciples, but if you can't... then don't worry about them, just let them be!

Let them go... When Daoist Duobao looked up, he saw the figure in the chaotic energy with its eyes closed.

For some reason, Duobao suddenly felt that his master was somewhat unfamiliar. The phrase "let them be" sounded like he was letting his junior brothers fend for themselves.

But this master has always been very protective of his disciples.

Duobao was silent for a moment before saying, "Disciple...understands. Disciple takes his leave."

At the entrance of Biyou Palace.

"Why is Senior Brother walking so fast?" Tian Tong asked, somewhat surprised.

Duobao sighed and wanted to reach out and pat Tiantong on the shoulder, but he awkwardly lowered his hand halfway up.

"I think you're only one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal, so I'll congratulate you in advance."

Duobao finished speaking with a smile and turned to leave, but his expression gradually became serious.

Master was angry just now... because those junior brothers didn't listen to him, or because I didn't manage Biyou Palace well and let the junior brothers go too loosely, so Master was disappointed?

It seems he needs to properly reorganize Biyou Palace.

"What's going on... this is so strange."

Tian Tong watched Duo Bao's retreating figure with some puzzlement as he slowly closed the door.

then……

"Tian Tong, get your ass in here!"

A furious roar echoed throughout Biyou Palace, and Tian Tong's face contorted instantly, his ears ringing as if he had been deafened.

He staggered to the Bagua Platform as if drunk and bowed deeply: "Master, please speak softly, your disciple can hear you."

Tongtian stared at the lazy Taoist below and sneered, "Yu Ding, how are you! You're quite something!"

Fortunately, it was his direct disciple who sensed it in advance. If he had been any slower and someone had erased these traces, it might have become another unsolved case.

He just hadn't expected that the little brats taught by Yu Ding would be so audacious as to actually dare to attack Qiu Shou Xian and the others.

The key issue is that those few good-for-nothing bastards were badly beaten by a few juniors who are hundreds of years old.

What's even more hateful is that some members of that gang helped outsiders turn against their own people...

Tian Tong looked bewildered, pointed to his ear, and asked, "What did you say, Master?"

Tongtian said irritably, "Get lost!"

"Hey!"

Tiantong turned around and left without any hesitation.

You damn dog Yu Ding, you do all the good work, while we, the incarnations, take the blame.

Tongtian's face darkened as he watched Tiantong turn and leave without even bothering to pretend.

That guy's grand-disciple injured his disciple; he's probably grinning from ear to ear right now!

Upon realizing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader became even angrier. Immediately, a chaotic giant hand reached out and twisted through the void, its destination unknown.

"Bring it!"

Tongtiandao is powerful and ruthless.

A calm voice from the other end asked, "What do you mean?"

"You demanded compensation from me when my disciple injured yours," Tongtian said coldly. "Now that my disciple has been injured, what do you say?"

"you're right."

The voice on the other end remained calm, saying, "But the one who injured your disciple is not one of my disciples. You've come to the wrong person."

Furthermore, I observed that those children were very measured in their actions, far superior to your disciples.”

Before Tongtian could say anything, the other side acted decisively. Chaotic energy surged, and an immense force knocked Tongtian's hand back.

The Master of Heaven looked at his empty hands: "???"

Did they really leave empty-handed?

No, what do you mean?
If you're not going to pay compensation, then fine, but why did you have to belittle his apprentice at the end?
Ugh... The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
"Tian Tong, get your ass in here!"

Soon, Tian Tong walked in, covering his ears and looking pained and helpless: "Master, why don't you just kill me? I'm just an incarnation anyway, why torture me?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader stared at him: "Qiushou Xian and the others have been severely injured."

The Heavenly Pass Master's expression changed slightly.

The Tongtian Sect Leader said calmly, "It was done by Yang Jian, Yuan Hong, and a few others in cahoots."

The Heavenly Passage Man was stunned. Holy crap, it doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore.

No, Yang Jian, what have you guys been doing behind my back?
The Master of Heaven sneered, "How do you suggest we resolve this matter?"

Tian Tong said aggrievedly, "Master, what does what Yu Ding's disciple did have to do with me, Tian Tong?"

"Stop it!"

The Master of Heaven sneered, "Now I'll give you two choices. First, I'll suppress you in the Sea Eye for ten thousand years..."

Tian Tong said seriously, "I choose the second one."

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly: "Good, in the future on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods, I want you to display your divine power, beat down the twelve disciples of Yuxu, and pick up the face that my Biyou Palace lost because of you."

"Master... can I choose again? Or I can beat those brats up in front of the whole world."

"roll!"

……

Yuquan Mountain, in front of the entrance to Jinxia Cave.

Taiyi was using the Mysterious Mirror to monitor his disciple's growth, while Huanglong was sleeping under the peach tree's spiritual root.

"Ah, what?"

Suddenly, Yu Ding, who was in seclusion inside the Golden Cloud Cave, let out a cry of alarm. The atmosphere inside the cave immediately became chaotic, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth also became chaotic.

The sound startled the Taiyi Xuan Guang Mirror, causing its magic to dissipate and the sleeping Huanglong to suddenly wake up.

"Wait, Yu Ding, what's with all this jumpiness?"

Huanglong shouted angrily towards the cave, "Are you trying to die?!"

Inside the Golden Cloud Cave, the Jade Cauldron True Body had finally calmed its surging blood and magical power, and was somewhat dumbfounded when it received the message shared by the Heavenly Tong Avatar.

No, it had only been a short while since things calmed down, and these troublesome guys had already pulled off a big heist.
"Qingyun, call Yang Jian Longji... never mind, I'll go myself!"

Yu Ding wanted to call those guys to a meeting, but after thinking about it, he decided to visit their homes in person.

There was no other reason than that he heard that Yuan Hong, that monkey, had also participated.

Well, this time they didn't cause a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, but instead attacked the direct disciple of Master Tongtian.

Although he roughly understood why they had attacked, he was also somewhat moved.
But it's understandable, we can't encourage it. If we don't keep an eye on them, these little brats might cause trouble at Biyou Palace next time.
