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

Chapter 457 Oh no, our master has come looking for us (Part 2)

"Don't hurt my son, take him away..."

Li Jing's loud shouts came from afar. He had been collecting things along the way and finally found his sons.

With a boom, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda soared into the air once more, growing taller amidst countless golden rays, releasing boundless divine might and magical power, and enveloping the three divine generals who were besieging Jinzha.

"Ugh, what the hell is this thing?"

Enveloped in golden light, the generals felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire, making every movement incredibly difficult.

Just as they unleashed their full magical power in an attempt to break free from the golden light, they cried out in alarm and were instantly lifted into the tower without any resistance.

This scene shocked the other gods and generals, but before they could react, Li Jing, his eyes bloodshot, swept over them and summoned the pagoda to collect the other gods and generals who were besieging Muzha, Nezha, and Ao Bing into the pagoda.

These magical treasures are useful, but they are not without limitations. The stronger the enemy being suppressed, the greater the drain on the user.

With his meager cultivation level as a martial arts immortal, he wouldn't need to use it more than a few times.

Fortunately... the demon god Bifang was sealed within his body.

He was also very fortunate that Master Randeng had intervened and prevented Bifang from escaping.

Compared to him, Bifang's magical power was like a vast ocean compared to a small stream—inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

Even with Bifang's power, he discovered that there were far too many gods in the Heavenly Court.

It’s impossible to collect all of it!
At first, he was patient enough not to collect the trash unless it was blocking the way, but as the tide of people surged in, the scene made his scalp tingle and his whole body feel uncomfortable.

So he stopped caring and stopped killing anyone he saw.

Repression!

They were all taken to the exquisite pagoda and suppressed!
As for what to do next... does he still have time to think about that at a time like this?

Let's get these little rascals home safely first.

As Li Jing subdued the divine generals, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha all broke free and rushed forward with joy and reverence to look at their father, who was displaying divine power, cheering enthusiastically.

"Father is amazing!"

"Father, what kind of treasure is this?"

Surrounded and adored by his sons, even the humblest father, Li Jing, couldn't help but feel proud at this moment, and said with a smile, "This is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, a secret transmission from my master."

"Wow!" Sanzha's eyes lit up as he looked at the golden pagoda in Li Jing's hand.

At this moment, Ao Bing said, "Quickly, help Fifth Brother!"

Hearing this, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha also came to their senses and looked over. They saw that Xiao Tuzha was being attacked by seven or eight divine generals, and they couldn't help but say urgently, "Father, please help Fifth Brother."

Li Jing looked somewhat bewildered: "Fifth brother?"

He looked at Tu Zha, who was surrounded by seven or eight divine generals not far away.

Actually, he had noticed the little boy a while ago, but he was still unsure of his identity.

His mind went blank for a moment after his sons said those words.

"Father, I, Tuzha, have come to save you too."

From afar, Tu Zha laughed loudly, a playful look in his eyes. He raised his staff, stirring up the wind and clouds, and repelled a group of celestial generals.

Li Jing's eyes widened: "Tuzha?"

“Yes, it’s Tuzha. Father, why didn’t you mention that there’s a fifth brother in the family?” Jinzha complained.

Mu Zha said, "He risked his life to save you; he truly deserves to be a son of the Li family."

Li Jing: Σσ(Д；) Huh? Huh? Huh?!

No, I just went out to scout out the way to Heaven, how come I came back with another son?

Shui Zha recognized Ao Bing at a glance. To be honest, he was also very moved that Ao Bing was willing to disregard past grievances and storm the Heavenly Court to save him.

As for why he used an alias, he figured it was probably to conceal his dragon identity and avoid causing trouble for the East Sea Dragon Clan, which he understood.

But where did this Tu Zha come from?!
He suddenly looked at Nezha and saw that Nezha's eyes were darting around, and he remained silent, feeling guilty.

Nezha, that little rascal, has never traveled far since he was a child. Doesn't he know in his heart whether there are fifth sons like Jinzha and Muzha at home?
He looked closer and saw that although Tu Zha was only five years old, he was incredibly brave and fierce, wielding a divine iron staff. Even several celestial generals could not defeat him.

"Why would I need to save him?" Li Jing asked疑惑地问道, "What is the origin of this Tu Zha?"

Nezha's eyes lit up as he said, "He said he is a disciple of Yuan Hong, the Great Sage of Meishan."

He truly deserves to be the disciple of the first person in the primordial world to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

At that moment, only five words came to his mind: "Truly, a great teacher produces a great student."

Meishan Great Sage… Li Jing was taken aback. He looked at Tuzha and saw him laughing heartily amidst the siege of the divine generals. Although he was small in stature, his heroic spirit soared to the sky, and his whole body exuded a fearless spirit of resistance.

When he swung the glowing iron rod in his hand, which was longer and larger than himself, he exuded an aura as if he could tear a hole in the sky.

"elder brother?!"

In an instant, Li Jing knew the identity of the newcomer, and his eyes reddened. He had only ever seen such composure in one person.

It's funny, really. This brother had only known him for a short time, less than half a day, but first he defended him against the Heavenly Army, and now he was storming the Heavenly Court to save him.

Such deep affection and friendship must have moved him.

"What... what should we do, teacher!"

On the other side, not only did the lamp burn, but even Manjushri and Samantabhadra showed panic and bewilderment on their faces.

What is their purpose in taking on apprentices and diligently training them?

It's because they broke the precept against killing, so their disciples have to fight in their place to help them overcome this calamity.

But why do they feel like the roles are reversed now, and they're here to help their disciples overcome their tribulations?
These two little rascals have caused such a big mess, so naturally someone has to take responsibility. If we look for their parents, the reason for the trouble is their own father. So, in the end, it's their master who has to take the blame.

But now, looking around, all that can be seen is devastation, ruins, broken walls... hardly a single place is intact.

Are they truly capable of shouldering such responsibilities?
The damaged Heavenly Palace is easy to repair, but what about the things stored inside? They're completely at the mercy of the Heavenly Court's accounting; it's practically a bottomless pit.

Can they afford to pay the compensation?

The two silently asked themselves this question, exchanged a glance, and their eyes were filled with bitterness.

We can't afford to pay it back!

Even if they combined all the assets of their Five Dragons Mountain, Nine Palaces Mountain, and even their teacher Randeng's Lingjiu Mountain, it wouldn't be enough.

Fortunately, the Lingxiao Palace is still standing.

At the center of the thirty-three heavens at the edge of their vision stood a magnificent palace radiating golden light and auspicious energy.

The Lingxiao Palace is the central hub of the Heavenly Court, the most important place without exception, symbolizing the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

If this place is demolished, the Heavenly Court will lose all face in the entire prehistoric world.

Simply put... if this area remains undamaged, it still has some semblance of decency, but if it's removed, then there's absolutely no face left.

It should be noted that during the great calamity of the Lich King, even the mighty Lich King did not cause a single tile to fall from the Lingxiao Palace. If it were to be destroyed by a few juniors, the Heavenly Court would truly become a laughing stock in the prehistoric world.

"These bastards!"

Randeng said coldly, just about to make a move, when suddenly three divine lights arrived in an instant and landed, transforming into Taiyi, Yuding, and Huanglong.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Taiyi immediately felt dizzy and his vision went black. He was so weak that he fell against the jade cauldron beside him.

Huanglong was a little better, but not much better. With wide eyes, he collapsed onto the jade cauldron in the middle with a thud.

They had made thorough preparations before they came.

But when they actually saw what the Heavenly Palace looked like, they suddenly realized that... the preparations were not enough.

Yu Ding glanced at Taiyi Huanglong, whose reaction was similar to his own when he heard about Yuan Hong's rampage in the Heavenly Palace, and silently took a step forward, allowing Huanglong and Taiyi to support each other.

If he hadn't known that his apprentice was also involved, seeing Taiyi and Huanglong like this, he would have definitely taken a picture to remember the moment.

As for now...

"Senior Brother Taiyi, Senior Brother Huanglong, look this way! That's right!"

Yu Ding took out the Crystal Taoist, aimed it at Taiyi, and with a flash of light, recorded the video, which was then deeply encrypted and saved.

How funny!
There won't be many more opportunities to see Taiyi in such a sorry state.

Besides, even if his apprentice has a share, there's still his father, Ao Guangjiu, and his grandfather, Huang Long, to take responsibility. As the master, he has to take the fall.

As for Jinzha, Muzha, and Li Jing... well, those who need to find their parents should find their parents, and those who need to find their masters should find their masters.

"Yu Ding, what... what are you doing?" Taiyi asked hurriedly.

Yu Ding lowered his head and fiddled with the crystal doll, saying, "Holographic recording to preserve evidence, so we can reconcile accounts with the Heavenly Court later, saving us from having to clear their bad debts."

Taiyi asked, "Then why are you taking pictures of me?"

Yu Ding said in a serious tone, "Not just you, we all have to take pictures. It's good to have an explanation for Master when he asks about it later. Teacher Randeng, Senior Brother Manjushri, Senior Brother Puxian, look over here, don't look so grim. Yes... alright!"

Haha, you old monks, Taiyi, Huanglong, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, you've all met your match!
Randeng's face was grim: "Yuding, what are you holding in your hand?"

Yu Ding said, "These are just some little trinkets I made in my spare time, nothing to mention. But teacher... how are we going to clean this up now?"

He looked at the celestial realm, which was 92% damaged, and asked.

He discovered that the destructive power of this father-son duo was even more outrageous than that of Yang Jian and Longji before.

Yang Jian came to Heaven mainly to save his mother, while Long Ji came mainly to seek justice. When things didn't go their way, they inevitably resorted to violence.

Once this action was taken, some celestial palaces and treasure halls in the celestial realm inevitably suffered some damage.

Aside from the damage they caused to the Heavenly Court, the Jade Void Palace compensated for the losses caused by Yang Jian, and Long Ji compensated for the damages he caused.

But at this moment, he saw that apart from a few survivors in Dou Niu Palace, Lingxiao Palace, and Tongming Palace, almost everything was gone.

This palace is easy to repair, but if there are any treasures or anything inside, that's unpredictable. Even if some bad debts or uncollectible accounts are reported, they have nowhere to investigate.

The first two times, it was thanks to the wealth of Jade Void Palace and Longji's family that they were able to survive, but this time...

This jade, cough, his Jade Spring Mountain is too poor, so he won't go in.

Even if we sold all the assets of Taiyi, including Qianyuan Mountain, Huanglong, Wulong Mountain, Jiugong Mountain, and Lingjiu Mountain, it probably wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, Ao Bing had the support of the East China Sea, and he was also wise enough to take photos to preserve evidence.

Whether the Heavenly Court can offer further compensation depends on its conscience.

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. The question caused Dipankara to fall silent, while Manjushri and Samantabhadra looked bitter.

Taiyi waved his hands weakly, crying out, "Oh, calamity!"

Upon hearing the word "calamity," Manjushri and Samantabhadra exchanged a glance, their faces growing increasingly bitter, a sense of shared suffering rising in their hearts.

Sure enough, Taiyi also sensed that their taking on disciples was to help them face a tribulation.
Huang Long advised, "Junior brothers, since things have already come to this, there's no use in regretting it now. We should think about how to resolve this."

Upon hearing this, Manjushri Bodhisattva said irritably, "You don't have any disciples, so how could you understand how we feel right now?"

"I..." Huang Long was speechless after being rebuked.

He can't exactly say that his grandnephew was there too, can he?
Yu Ding suddenly sighed and said, "I understand!"

Manjushri was about to retort when he saw it was Yu Ding. He exchanged a glance with Samantabhadra, sighed, and shut his mouth.

If Huanglong claims to understand, that's pure nonsense. How can he empathize when he doesn't even have a disciple?

But Yu Ding said he understood...

Alas, perhaps no one understands their feelings better than Yu Ding at this moment.

Because he had some disagreements with Yu Ding, when he heard that Yu Ding's disciple had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Manjushri was overjoyed and spread the news far and wide.

At that time, Master Puxian and Master Cihang advised him not to do this, since they were fellow disciples after all.

Now, the cycle of karma has truly come full circle, and this has happened to me...

Only then did he understand how Yu Ding had felt back then.

"Ah, junior brother, you've really had a hard time in the past," sighed Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Yu Ding was taken aback, and sighed, "Ah, that's how it is with taking on disciples, full of uncertainties. If we're lucky, we'll bring you surprises; if we're unlucky, well..."

For the next two or three hundred years, whenever Manjushri met him, they would argue and bicker.

Now, for the first time, she spoke softly to him, which made him somewhat at a loss.

Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded in deep agreement and sighed, "Junior brother is right. I was thinking back when Fellow Daoist Taixu objected; if I had listened to his advice and not accepted this disciple, would I have..."

You chose this disciple yourself, and you taught him yourself. Now you regret it, you deserve it... Yu Ding remained silent, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

Master Taiyi interrupted, saying, "Junior brother, you shouldn't say such things in the future. We chose our own disciples. If they are not taught well, it is the fault of the teacher. Let's think about how to resolve this matter!"

No, I really understand... Looking at the Manjushri Jade Cauldron, which had suddenly become harmonious because of this matter, Huanglong felt a deep sense of anxiety at being excluded.

"Stop! Take them in!" Suddenly, with a loud shout, a golden tower radiating light rose in the distance, releasing boundless magical power and easily taking all the gods into the tower.

The windows of that tower were packed with people, so crowded that they couldn't fit everyone inside...

Jade Cauldron, Taiyi, Yellow Dragon, Manjushri, Samantabhadra: ('')

The five of them looked at the Taoist Ran Deng.

No, Master Randeng, you actually passed on such a powerful treasure to your disciple?
"So all the people in Heaven have been taken into that tower."

Huang Long muttered angrily, "No, where did Li Jing get such a heaven-defying magic weapon? Which bastard gave it to him?"

Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Taiyi, and Yuding looked at each other in bewilderment, with Yuding secretly giving a thumbs up.

Huang Long is really brave; he really knows how to criticize when he has something to say!

No, doesn't Senior Brother Huanglong know that Master Ran Deng is Li Jing's master...? Manjushri and Samantabhadra looked at Yu Ding and Taiyi.

When we were talking about this, did Huanglong forget or not hear us...? Yu Ding and Tai Yi exchanged a glance.

Then the four of them cautiously glanced at the lamp.

At this moment, Ran Deng's face was extremely ugly: "Huang Long, do you have a problem with me?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Long's eyes immediately cleared, but before he could figure out how to answer, he did not.

Yu Ding sighed and said, "Master, in my experience, the greater the ability, the greater the trouble you can cause. Why did you pass on such a powerful magic weapon to your disciple?"

Randeng was surprised to see that Taiyi, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra were all looking at him with the same expression as Yuding.

Ran Deng asked, "You lot... all think this way?"

Taiyi shook his head and said, "Teacher, to put it bluntly, if you hadn't passed on the pagoda to Li Jing, he wouldn't have been able to destroy the Heavenly Court like this, almost filling up all the people in the Heavenly Court."

Manjushri and Samantabhadra exchanged a glance without saying a word, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"You... you..."

Ran Deng was both surprised and furious. Suddenly, he laughed in extreme anger and said, "Fine, fine, so you want to distance yourselves from this responsibility?"

Yu Ding looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Taiyi, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra kept their eyes closed and remained silent.

This time it's not that they're being unreasonable; their crimes are simply too great, so great that they have to settle accounts clearly.

It's important to understand that Li Jing was undoubtedly the cause of the incident, and at this moment he has almost suppressed the entire Heavenly Court... Based on these two things alone, Li Jing cannot escape primary responsibility.

One person and one tower almost suppressed the entire Heavenly Court...

I can't afford it!
We simply can't afford it.

This is the first time such a thing has ever happened since the beginning of time.

"Alright, alright, let's each mind our own business then!"

Ran Deng snorted coldly, patted the celestial deer beneath him, and the deer swung its four hooves and ran wildly into the distance.

Only Yu Ding and a few others remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"evil creature!"

In the distance, Li Jing had just finished suppressing the divine generals who were besieging Tu Zha and was about to go forward to reminisce with Tu Zha when he heard an angry shout.

Turning his head, he saw Randeng riding a celestial deer toward him, his face full of anger.

"Master?"

Li Jing's expression changed.

Looking from the direction from which Randeng came, Tuzha's golden eyes pierced through layers of clouds and mist, and he had already seen Yuding and the others in the distance. He immediately transmitted his voice and said, "Junior brother, hurry up and go."

He sighed inwardly.

At this moment, all the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court have been suppressed by Li Jing, making it the best time to seize control of the Heavenly Court.

However, there was an aura lurking in the Lingxiao Palace that made him tremble with fear and dare not approach, which made him wonder if the Heavenly Emperor had returned from his tribulation.

The road to changing the world is long and arduous...

Yuan Hong shook his head inwardly. The Heavenly Court's foundation was indeed profound. Even the powerful Demon Court's remnants suffered a crushing defeat back then.

“But…” Ao Bing hesitated.

Tu Zha transmitted his voice, saying, "There's no 'but.' Our master and senior uncles are here. The rest will be handled by our elders. If you stay, you'll only make things difficult for our master and bring disaster to your family. Hurry up and run! Listen to me, you won't go wrong."

After saying this, he silently transformed into a gentle breeze and disappeared.

Ao Bing remained silent upon hearing this, and without a sound, he transformed into a gentle breeze and dispersed.

"You traitor, do you know what you have done?" Ran Deng roared angrily.

If Li Jing didn't have some kind of destiny on his side, he would have really wanted to slap this disciple to death right now.

Li Jing shook his head bitterly and said, "Master, I had no choice."

Ran Deng angrily rebuked, "Fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself. What do you mean by 'forced into it'? I ask you, did you listen to what I told you?"

Li Jing looked ashamed and remained silent.

Nezha, annoyed that his father was being scolded, retorted, "Who do you think you are, Taoist priest? What right do you have to scold my father? What business is it of yours to interfere in my family's affairs?"

Ran Deng glanced over coldly.

"You wicked child, cease your insolence!"

Just then, a familiar shout rang out, and a beam of light flew over. Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear disappeared, and a glowing rope bound Nezha.

Nezha looked up in surprise and exclaimed, "Master?!"

Then, Taiyi, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Yuding, Huanglong, and an old immortal in white robes arrived together, riding on clouds.

Manjushri Bodhisattva pointed at Jinzha, and the Dragon-Binding Stake in Jinzha's hand flew out of his hand, but landed in Manjushri Bodhisattva's sleeve. Jinzha was also bound by the glowing rope.

When Master Puxian pointed at Muzha, the two Wu hook swords in Muzha's hands flew out and landed in Master Puxian's sleeve. There were also glowing ropes that bound Muzha.

Master Yu Ding pointed ahead and turned his head, saying, "Look, where are the troublemakers?"

Luckily, those two little rascals ran fast, otherwise his reputation as Jade Cauldron Immortal would have been completely ruined.

Beside him was his old acquaintance, Li Changgeng, also known as Venus.

Venus, seeing no one in front of him, exclaimed in shock, "They...they escaped?"

Yu Ding said, "We came together, and we didn't see anyone pass by along the way."

Venus paused for a moment and then said, "Tu Zha is Yuan Hong's disciple, but what about Shui Zha... does the Immortal know his background?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Master Yuding.

Yu Ding said, "I don't know about that. Besides, Li Jing only has three sons, all of whom are disciples of my three senior brothers. I have never heard of any Shui Zha. Have you heard of him, Senior Brother Huanglong?"

"I don't have any either," Huang Long said, shaking his head.

Although he didn't know where his grand-nephew had run off to, as long as he wasn't caught red-handed, he would follow Yu Ding's example and deny everything.

Unlike those guys who turned against each other over assigning responsibility, he was on the same side as Yu Ding.

Venus looked at Yu Ding with a mixture of belief and doubt: "Then is it really true that this Shui Zha has absolutely no connection with Yu Ding Shangxian or Erlang Zhenjun?"

To say there's absolutely no connection... why does he just refuse to believe it!

There was no way around it; the reputation his disciples had built for him was simply too solid. Two out of the three times the Heavenly Palace was in chaos, it was his disciples who were involved.

If you say this has nothing to do with him... not only would he not believe it, but even if you randomly pulled someone out of Heaven, they probably wouldn't believe it!

Yu Ding said unhappily, "What do you mean by this, Venus? Those disciples were ignorant. I repaired them and made up for the losses. Are you still acting like this now because you have a problem with me?"

Venus repeatedly said he dared not, but his brows remained furrowed.

When he heard that the Heavenly Court was in turmoil again, he had a 98% intuition that this matter was still related to Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Everyone else has a master, but Shui Zha does not. He only looks like Erlang Shen (Yang Jian), so he is speculated to be Yang Jian's disciple.

If this is Yang Jian's disciple, then he is the grand-disciple of Jade Cauldron Immortal.

But now...

"The acting is so convincing. If I didn't know the truth, I almost would have believed it..." Huang Long thought to himself.

Yu Ding sneered, "If you really can't find anyone to take the blame, fine, just say so. I'll be Shui Zha's master, how about that? Are you satisfied now?"

Venus sighed, "I dare not, I dare not, please forgive me, Immortal."

At this moment, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha were easily disarmed and captured by their master in a single encounter.

Li Jing hurriedly pleaded, "Immortals, all the blame lies with me alone. Whether I am struck by lightning or torn to pieces, I will bear it all. Please, Immortals, protect my son."

"Shut up, Li Jing! Look at the mess you and your son have made!"

Ran Deng angrily rebuked, "The Heavenly Court will decide how to punish you. Now that your son is bound, why don't you surrender?"

Li Jing looked around at the devastated Heavenly Court and shook his head with a sigh, saying, "Master, please forgive me for not being able to obey."

Ran Deng sneered, "What will you do if you disobey? Are you going to attack your master..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jing unleashed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, which transformed into a golden light that shot up and grew taller in the wind, radiating boundless light as it suppressed the burning lamp.

Ran Deng laughed angrily, "Very well, you treacherous disciple who betrayed your master and ancestors, you actually used the treasure I passed down to you to deal with your master! Linglong Pagoda, come back to me!"

He confidently reached out his hand toward the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

Despite his summoning, the Seven Treasures Pagoda remained unmoved and continued to press down on him.

Ran Deng's expression changed slightly, so he formed hand seals and chanted incantations, but the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda shone with golden light and burst forth with surging magical power, falling towards him.

Ran Deng asked in surprise, "You changed the spell to control the tower?"

Yu Ding, Tai Yi, Wen Shu, and the others all watched this scene with strange expressions.

"Good job, kid..." Yu Ding grinned.

However, Li Jing shook his head and said, "No, it seems the tower... refuses to be used by you."

Ran Deng exclaimed in shock and anger, "Impossible! Why don't the magical artifacts I crafted obey my commands?"

“I don’t really understand it either, but the moment I received the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda from you, I felt as if I had been destined to meet this pagoda.”

Li Jing looked at the Seven Treasures Pagoda and said, "Master, I have no other request now. As long as you are willing to spare my sons' lives, Li Jing is willing to surrender and be dealt with at will."

It was destined... Taiyi and the others looked at each other, while only Yuding remained silent in contemplation.

It's not surprising, because Li Jing plus the tower is what makes the complete Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. But this isn't destiny, it's just a setting.

Ran Deng was furious: "You have no room for bargaining. Surrender now, or I will refuse to believe that I will be suppressed by the magic weapon I made."

Because Manjushri and Samantabhadra had severed ties with him, he naturally wouldn't seek help at this moment. With a boom, he unleashed the boundless magical power belonging to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Li Jing, I'm here to help you. This time, causing a huge ruckus is going to be fucking awesome."

Bi Fang laughed loudly, and his entire body erupted with a cyan-red demon god fire. The power of the great demon god exploded, causing the Linglong Pagoda to shine brightly with golden light. He pushed the power to its limit and was locked in a stalemate with Randeng.

How could this be... This scene sent shockwaves through Ran Deng's heart.

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had limited power after it was forged, which led him to believe it was a failed product and thus he gave it to Li Jing without any regret.

But what he didn't expect was that after the tower fell into Li Jing's hands, it unleashed a power that was almost enough to rival his own.

"Are we... just going to watch like this?" Puxian asked after a moment of silence.

Yu Ding paused for a moment and then said, "I believe in Teacher Randeng."

Without the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, even ten Li Jings plus Bi Fang wouldn't be a match for the Burning Lamp Daoist. But who can blame him when the magical treasures of the prehistoric world are so overpowered?

However, he did not expect that Li Jing, Bi Fang, and the Seven Treasures Pagoda would unleash a power greater than three in a short period of time to block the lamp.

However, it absolutely cannot last.

No problem, Senior Brother Xuandu is on his way.

After hearing Yu Ding's words, the others also chose to believe Teacher Randeng.

The heavenly soldiers and generals inside the tower screamed in agony after being burned by Bifang's demonic fire.

Venus hurriedly said, "Great Immortal Ran Deng, please have mercy and do not harm the people inside the tower!"

Ran Deng said angrily, "It's this wretched creature that's burning it with fire, why don't you go and tell him?"

Venus replied confidently, "Because you are a righteous immortal of the Chan Sect."

Burning lamp: ノ(_ノ)
No, because he is a righteous immortal, he has to be restrained and show mercy when fighting enemies, risking injury himself.
What kind of utter nonsense is this?!
