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

Chapter 566 I really couldn't persuade him.
"Senior Sister, since this old thief Ran Deng refuses to listen to reason and is forced to drink a forfeit, then let's storm Peng and snatch back Senior Brother Zhao's arrow book." Han Zhixian's pretty face was filled with murderous intent.

Fairy Caiyun chimed in, "Sister Hanzhi is right. Since this old thief won't give it to us, there's no need for us to be polite to them anymore."

"Wait a little longer!" Yunxiao said.

She stood quietly behind Qingluan, her figure serene, her snow-white fairy robes fluttering in the wind, her gaze fixed on the reeds below.

Despite the misty clouds, her gaze pierced through them, and she had already seen the scene of the people on the awning.

Bixiao retorted indignantly, "What are we waiting for?"

Yunxiao remained silent, but Qiongxiao spoke up: "Look, they seem to be arguing about something."

Bixiao and the others were startled and looked down. Sure enough, after Peng Shang said something to Yu Ding, it seemed that he had attracted criticism from the others. In the end, Yu Ding and Huang Long silently walked to the side.

“It seems… their talks have broken down,” Bixiao said.

Yunxiao stood quietly, his expression still serene, looking exactly the same as before.

But Han Zhixian and the others standing nearby were startled, sensing that their senior sister had changed.

A cold glint flashed in Qiongxiao's narrowed eyes: "Eldest sister!"

Those people over there are also immortals, so they naturally can't hear the conversation, but they can guess what they're talking about.

Yu Ding had a close relationship with them and they were old friends. He had secretly helped her brother a few days ago, so it's likely that he was criticized by everyone for speaking up for them during this dispute.

Han Zhixian asked in surprise, "Huh? Why are they arguing amongst themselves?"

Fairy Caiyun sneered, "Never mind why, it's a good thing they're fighting amongst themselves first, huh? Jiang Ziya is reorganizing his troops, he's about to come out."

Bixiao silently looked at Yunxiao and Qiongxiao.

Yunxiao remained silent. Hanzhixian and the others were unaware of the previous matter concerning Zhao Gongming of the Jade Cauldron Gang, as she had only told Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

If even a little bit of this matter were to leak out, Yu Ding would inevitably become a traitor to the Chan Sect, and there would be no place for him in the Jade Void Palace. They would then have ruined Yu Ding terribly.

Before long, the gates of Xiqi opened and Jiang Ziya rode out on his Qilin, flanked by his three generations of disciples, with Xiqi soldiers behind him.

Lantern and the Twelve Immortals slowly emerged from the reed hut.

Jiang Ziya glanced at the six people and saw that the Taoist nuns had fierce expressions on their faces. He knew that today's matter would not end well. He couldn't help but sigh and cup his hands, saying, "Greetings, six fairy nuns."

Yunxiao said calmly, "Jiang Ziya, we are originally carefree people from the Three Immortal Islands, and we don't care about your worldly affairs. However, you used the technique that Lu Ya taught you to make my brother Zhao Gongming fall into a coma. We have come here to ask for the Arrow Book to save my brother. What do you say?"

Ziya was silent for a moment and then shook his head, saying, "This is your brother's own doing, it is fate, and there is no escaping it! Since you have come to this perilous place, how can you avoid disaster? Please forgive Jiang Shang for not being able to agree."

Bixiao roared in fury, "How much skill do you have to presume to speak of destiny? Take this sword!"

With a flick of her sleeve, a streak of azure sword light pierced the void, shooting toward Jiang Ziya with a deafening roar. It was so fast that it reached Jiang Ziya in the blink of an eye.

Here it comes... The Four-Faced Beast's eyes gleamed. Just as the sword light was about to pierce through Jiang Ziya, a purple-gold hammer blocked its way. It was Huang Tianhua who had urged the Jade Kirin forward to block it with the hammer.

As the hammer and sword clashed, the cyan sword light and the purple light on the hammer clashed, sparks flying. Huang Tianhua, looking strained, saw the jade unicorn beneath him bend its legs, its four hooves plowing a foot-long furrow in the ground.

At this moment, the Jade Kirin suddenly spewed smoke from its nostrils, let out a long roar, and its whole body radiated immortal light. Its legs straightened instantly, greatly reducing the pressure on Huang Tianhua. It swung its other hammer and smashed the Green Bamboo Immortal Sword away, sending it flying back into Bixiao's hand.

"Well done, Tianhua!" Nezha praised. Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief after escaping danger, thinking to himself how close he had come to disaster.

After taking the sword strike, Huang Tianhua was covered in sweat and his arm was sore and numb. To be honest, it was really dangerous just now. This fairy's cultivation level was far superior to his. If it weren't for the Jade Kirin, he would never have been able to withstand that sword strike.

However, upon hearing Nezha's words and glancing at his brothers who had previously shone brightly, he gritted his teeth, tilted his head, and hoisted the hammer onto his shoulder with his aching hand. With his other hand, he pointed the hammer at Bixiao arrogantly and said, "That's all!"

"Alright, Tianhua!"

"They didn't embarrass us!"

Ao Bing, Jinzha, and Muzha also spoke up, making Huang Tianhua feel extremely pleased.

Chi Jingzi laughed and said, "Junior Brother Qingxu, you've trained your disciple quite well!"

"Not bad!"

The immortals on the pavilion stood at the edge of the pavilion, gazing into the distance and offering their praise and comments.

Guang Chengzi said, "It's just that he's a bit arrogant and not calm enough, which will be detrimental to his future cultivation."

The corner of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's mouth twitched, and he said repeatedly, "Senior brothers, you flatter me. I'll teach him a lesson later."

As a master, how could he not see that his disciple was so concerned with saving face that he was willing to suffer for it?

He admitted that Huang Tianhua had made a lot of progress after leaving the mountain, but his skills were nothing compared to Bixiao's, like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Huang Long laughed and said, "A young man who isn't reckless isn't a true young man. We all understand that, right?"

"You...are arrogant!"

Seeing Huang Tianhua's provocation, Bixiao could no longer hold back and burst forth to attack him.

"Not good!" When Qingxu Daode Zhenjun saw this, his expression changed, and he wanted to step forward to help his disciple.

Ran Deng shook his head and said, "Let's see how these juniors perform first. It's also a good opportunity to temper your disciple's character."

Huang Tianhua gritted his teeth, ready to face the challenge head-on, when at that moment, a white-clad figure beside him fluttered. Ao Bing had snatched a spear from one of the soldiers, imbued it with magical power, and emitted a white light as he charged forward.

"Good brother!" Huang Tianhua was overjoyed. He knew that Ao Bing was helping him, so he immediately urged the Jade Kirin and raised two purple-gold hammers to meet him.

He was initially resentful of his fellow disciples when he left the mountain.

As fellow disciples of the Twelve Immortals, aside from his master's two disciples, Uncle Yu Ding and his two disciples who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he felt that his level was about the same as the others.

Who knew that as soon as he came down the mountain, he fought with Lei Zhenzi, and he was convinced of Lei Zhenzi's abilities, but he was still unconvinced of the others he had not beaten.

But as time went on, he discovered that all of his fellow disciples, except for Han Dulong, Xue Ehu, and Wu Ji, were ridiculously strong, practically monsters.

And this Senior Brother Ao Bing is universally acknowledged as... the strongest.

Immediately, Ao Bing, wielding a long spear, and Huang Tianhua, riding a jade unicorn, brandished double hammers. For a time, the two were evenly matched with Bi Xiao.

"Good lad, you have such skills at such a young age. Whose disciple are you?" Bixiao was also somewhat surprised.

There were rumors circulating outside about how extraordinary the third-generation disciples of Jade Void were, but she just laughed it off.

Apart from the two monsters who had already graduated from Yu Ding Sect, she really didn't take the others seriously, but this young man in white today was beyond her expectations.

Ao Bing swept his spear horizontally, but it shattered with a crack. In the blink of an eye, a divine axe appeared in his hand.

Magical power, physical body, great strength, axe... Bixiao watched as the young man in front of her gradually merged with a figure.

Could it be...? Bi Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise as she looked at Peng Shang. This was practically a "mini Yang Jian," no, he seemed even more formidable than Yang Jian back then.

Then, Ao Bing said, "I am a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Immortal of the Golden Cloud Cave on Jade Spring Mountain."

Sure enough... Upon hearing this, not only Bixiao, but also Qiongxiao, Hanzhixian, Shiji and others were shocked. How exactly did Yuding teach his disciple?

Upon seeing this, everyone on the platform turned their heads to look at the jade cauldron.

They could naturally see that Ao Bing bore most of the pressure on Bi Xiao during the battle, while Huang Tianhua could only be considered a supporting role.

If the two switched positions, Huang Tianhua would hardly last ten rounds.

Yu Ding remained calm, but Huang Long was even more excited than his master Yu Ding, pulling everyone on the awning to spread the news: "Hahaha, do you see that? That's my grand-nephew."

So what if I don't have any apprentices?
He has grandnephews and nieces, and he can still experience that kind of joy.

Everyone glanced at Yu Ding and then at him, then quietly stepped aside. Yu Ding hadn't said anything, yet he was jumping and laughing on the side.

But I must say, this Yu Ding is really good at teaching his apprentices!

The immortals' minds raced as they silently thought, "Leaving aside the first two disciples, this little disciple they took in later actually has the ability to suppress them. It's simply outrageous."

"Cough cough!"

Chi Jingzi coughed lightly and leaned forward, saying, "Junior brother, you've trained such outstanding disciples one after another. Do you have any secrets?"

Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and looked over.

Yu Ding glanced at the expectant crowd and said with a wry smile, "There's no secret to it. It's all thanks to my disciples' hard work. I haven't had to worry about them much."

If there's anything to worry about, it's that his master was too weak in the past, and his disciple was too outstanding to be controlled.

Everyone was greatly disappointed upon hearing this, and Chi Jingzi also stopped smiling and nodded.

This jade cauldron is not human; not only does it not speak, but it also tries to fob them off with such words… The immortals exchanged glances; these words can only fool ghosts.

These days, nobody believes the truth... Yu Ding pondered and said, "Of course, I still have a pill formula that can be taken internally and used externally. The internal formula is for refining the primordial spirit, while the external formula is for strengthening the physical body. It works both ways."

Upon hearing this, the immortals' eyes lit up, and even Randeng couldn't help but look over.

That makes perfect sense; we knew all along that Yu Ding was hiding something.

They all crowded around, laughing, "Junior brother, could we...could we borrow your prescription to take a look?"

Yu Ding found it somewhat amusing to see everyone's smiling faces: "Of course, I'll show you all after this matter is settled."

Anyway, he reads a lot of books, so if he finds a similar prescription, they might need it later!
"I'm here to lend a helping hand to Sister Bixiao."

With a glint in her eyes, Fairy Caiyun took a gourd from her waist, uncorked it, poured out three shimmering beads, held them between her fingers, and threw them downwards, soaring straight towards Huang Tianhua's eyes.

Upon hearing the sound, Huang Tianhua instinctively turned his head to dodge, swinging his golden hammer to shatter one of the beads. However, the other two were already in front of him. He felt a flash of light followed by darkness, and then a sharp pain made him scream.

His eyes were bloodshot and mangled. He frantically swung his hammers around, and then he lost his footing and fell from the sky.

"mean!"

Meanwhile, Nezha, Leizhenzi, Muzha, and Jinzha beside him were furious. The four of them had already rushed out, with a clear division of labor.

When Muzha received Huang Tianhua, the other four surrounded Bixiao. Soon when Muzha returned with his men, a flash of pure energy appeared in front of the formation, and the Pure Void Moral True Lord appeared.

“Uncle-Master, Tianhua…” Muzha said.

"No need for further explanation, I've seen it all."

The True Lord of Pure Emptiness and Morality looked grim: "This is an eye-poking bead, a hidden weapon specifically designed to injure the eyes of immortals. Quickly lay it flat."

Huang Tianhua fumbled and grabbed Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's hand: "Master, save me! I can't go blind! I haven't found my parents yet..."

Qingxu Zhenjun paused for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, it's alright."

He hurriedly took a pill and swallowed it, then crushed two more and applied them to his eye sockets before wrapping them with a cloth. At this moment, seeing the three generations of Yu Xu move together, Qiong Xiao slowly opened his narrowed eyes, his smile fading, and he and Shi Ji also stepped forward with their immortal swords in hand.

The five instantly engaged in battle, while Yunxiao continued to gaze intently at Peng Shang.

when--

Nezha was engulfed in flames and thrust his spear straight at Shiji. But Shiji remained calm and unhurried. As she retreated, she flicked her whisk, and thousands of dust strands surged like a great river, engulfing the Fire-Tipped Spear. With a gentle pull, the spear flew out of her hand and landed in Shiji's grasp.

Shi Ji looked him over and said, "Fire-tipped spear... You must be Nezha, the disciple of Taiyi Zhenren?"

"You...give me back my Fire-Tipped Spear!"

Nezha was shocked and furious at losing his divine weapon. He took off the Qiankun Ring that was hanging on his body and threw it, which turned into a golden light and headed towards Shiji.

Shi Ji smiled slightly, extended a delicate hand, and easily caught the golden light in her hand, turning it into a golden circle.

Nezha was taken aback. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly ripped off his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) and summoned the Rolling Stone.

Shi Ji raised her sleeve and laughed loudly, "If we don't get this treasure now, when will we?"

The Hun Tian Ling immediately went limp and fell into Shi Ji's sleeve. Shi Ji laughed and said, "Nezha, what other treasures did your master give you? Why not use them and let me show you how my Biyou Daoist arts are?"

Nezha was immediately terrified. In a flash of thought, he suddenly turned around and fled, stepping on his Wind Fire Wheels.

Shi Ji laughed heartily. Looking to the side, she saw Lei Zhenzi raise his golden cudgel, his body surrounded by arcs of electricity, releasing countless bolts of lightning. He roared, "Ten billion volts..."

Before the words were even finished, all the lightning on his body suddenly dissipated, black mist appeared on his face, and he closed his eyes and fell headfirst to the ground.

Jinzha's expression immediately changed. He transformed into a streak of light, landed to catch Lei Zhenzi, and turned to flee. On the other side, Ao Bing also flew backward.

Because they were either defeated or heard a voice.

A surge of celestial light appeared before the formation, and Ran Deng and the other eleven immortals all appeared.

Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Shiji arrived at one place, looked down, and sneered, "Finally decided to come out?"

Ran Deng said, "Fellow Daoists, I'll say it one last time: you should go back. This place is no safe haven. Don't make things difficult for yourselves."

Bixiao said coldly, "Return the arrow letter first!"

The people of Yuxu exchanged glances, and immediately Ran Deng rose into the air, bursting with golden light, while Yunxiao's body radiated white light. The two supreme auras that erupted split the heavens and earth in two.

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t force me…” Yunxiao said.

Ran Deng shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, you should go back!"

As the two confronted each other, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun raised his hand and a celestial sword appeared in his hand. He flew up and went straight for Caiyun Fairy, shouting: "You are a celestial being, yet you secretly use poison on a junior."

Fairy Caiyun snorted coldly and threw another handful of eye-popping beads at True Lord Qingxu. Instantly, the sky was filled with colorful light. True Lord Qingxu was startled and retreated. He swung his immortal sword, which emitted immortal light, and shattered the eye-popping beads one by one.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi, and Ju Liusun moved swiftly, each drawing their swords to meet Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Shiji, and Hanzhixian.

"Hey, Yu Ding, they've started fighting," Huang Long whispered.

Yu Ding glanced at him: "Do you need to tell me?"

He looked at the old Taiyi, who was heading straight for Shiji with a clear goal in mind, and sighed in his heart, "Shiji, Shiji, why did you have to provoke this master and disciple pair of people?"
Taiyi stared at Shiji and said, word by word, "Fellow Daoist, return my disciple's treasure, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Yu Ding sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi Ji, please heed my advice. We have broken the precepts and are facing this calamity today. Why have you, who are free and at ease, ventured here? This place is dangerous. Please go back!"

"I appreciate your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Yuding."

Shi Ji stared at Taiyi and said, "If you want treasures, exchange them for the Arrow Book. Otherwise, I'd like to see what kind of person you, Taiyi, are when you don't hold back."

Yu Ding sighed.

I can't persuade them, I really can't persuade them!
Taiyi's eyes turned cold, and he drew his sword to engage Shiji in a fierce battle, tumbling and leaping through the air.

In less than ten rounds, Shi Ji suddenly unleashed her Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cloth to deal with Taiyi. Taiyi's eyes turned cold, and he made a hand seal and pointed: "Fall!"

The Eight Treasures Cloud Light Handkerchief floated directly in front of the formation, its spiritual power dissipating.

When Shi Ji was enraged, Taiyi Zhenren had already made a hand seal and unleashed a divine light that transformed into a Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. Shi Ji was unable to dodge in time and was enveloped in it.

Taiyi clapped his hands together inside the Divine Fire Cover, and nine fire dragons coiled up in unison, with the screams of Shiji echoing from within the raging flames.

"Shiji!"

Han Zhixian and the others roared in anger but were unable to break free. Before long, they were refined to reveal their original stubborn stone form, and one of their souls went to the Conferred God Platform.

What else could Yu Ding do? He could only bend down and pick up the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Handkerchief, which had lost its spiritual power, and put it away.

Huang Long said in a low voice, "You've persuaded another one to death. Don't try to persuade them next time."

"I'm not Hun Tuo..." Yu Ding was furious and wanted to pin Huang Long down and beat him up.

Just then, another scream was heard. A three-inch-long glowing object pierced through the heart of Fairy Caiyun, and her eyes gradually lost their luster.

The three-inch object flew back into the hands of the Pure Void Moral True Lord; it was the Heart-Piercing Nail.

"Caiyun!" Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and the others were furious and their hearts changed drastically when they saw this scene.

Yu Ding looked at it.

Before he could speak, Huang Long said, "I know what you're going to say. This time you didn't try to persuade me."

Yu Ding remained silent this time.

In fact, he did try to persuade them, right when they left the Three Immortals Island last time.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya made a hand seal and pointed, unleashing the God-Slaying Whip, which shot towards Bixiao, severing tendons and bones in her shoulder and leaving it a bloody mess.

Seeing that something was wrong, Han Zhixian immediately summoned her magic treasure, the Wind Bag. In an instant, black wind filled the sky and the earth, making it dark and gloomy. Taking advantage of the situation, Han Zhixian took Bixiao back to the merchant camp.

"Enough! Enough! Enough!"

Seeing this, Yunxiao turned and left, and Randeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and the others couldn't help but smile when they saw the Three Immortals retreat. The Xiqi army cheered with joy after winning the battle.

Taiyi walked over, glanced at the jade cauldron, and stretched out his hand: "Hmm?"

In his hand was a stubborn rock.

Yu Ding: "..."

Huang Long took it and exclaimed in surprise, "This is the true form of Shi Ji! Alas, it is not easy for a stubborn rock to become an immortal. Ten thousand years of cultivation can be lost in a single day. Why did you do this?"

Taiyi said, "You've tried to persuade her, and I've given her a chance, but she won't listen, so you can't blame me."

Yu Ding nodded, took the stubborn stone from Huang Long's hand, glanced at Shang Ying, and then at the happy Twelve Immortals.

"Fellow disciples, I am about to undergo my tribulation!" Yu Ding said.

All the immortals: (⊙_⊙)?
Ju Liusun glanced at the jade cauldron and chuckled, "Is it the Tribulation of Becoming an Immortal or the Tribulation of Becoming a Golden Immortal?"

Only Huanglong and Taiyi exchanged a shocked glance, their expressions suddenly changing.

Yu Ding's cultivation has long since recovered; if he were to undergo another tribulation, then only the Great Luo Tribulation would remain?
Yu Ding didn't explain, but simply said, "I'll be leaving for a while. Senior Brother Huanglong, could you protect me?"

Huang Long paused for a moment and said seriously, "Uh... my suggestion is that you go to Kunlun Mountain. There, your master is looking after you, and it's much safer than if I were protecting you."

Yu Ding: "...Alright, goodbye!"

He bowed to the crowd, rode a cloud, and soared into the sky to leave.

Guang Chengzi smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yu Ding suffered a calamity and lost his cultivation. Now he has rebuilt his foundation and returned to the path of immortality. This is truly a cause for celebration."

Ju Liusun laughed and said, "It really wasn't easy!"

Inside the military camp, in the central command tent.

Wen Zhong watched as the group returned defeated once again, their faces grim, and dared not utter a sound.

Qiongxiao applied the medicine to Bixiao's wounds, and she recovered in no time.

"Eldest sister, we have been tolerant of them time and time again, and we have refused to hurt them, but they have even harmed our two junior sisters, Caiyun and Shiji. Are you still going to tolerate this?" Bixiao said angrily.

Qiongxiao nodded: "Eldest sister, we have done more than enough. Even in front of our senior uncle, we are in the right. Let alone the fact that they are just members of the Jade Void Sect, we would not care even if our senior uncle came here this time."

Yunxiao nodded slightly, this time showing some consideration for Yuding's kindness.

But Qiongxiao was right; things had come to this point, and neither Yuding nor that senior master could be cared for anymore.

Immediately, Yunxiao asked Wen Zhong to select six hundred strong men, and then summoned Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Hanzhixian, Qiushouxian, and several others to the training ground. They drew the formation diagram on the ground and practiced for half a month before they became familiar with it.

On the day the formation was completed, a fierce aura soared into the sky.

Wen Zhong looked at the formation and asked, "May I ask what is the mystery behind this formation, Uncle-Master?"

Bixiao laughed and said, "This formation contains the wonders of heaven and earth. It contains the Bewitching Immortal Pill and the Immortal-Sealing Technique, which can cause immortals to lose their spirit, destroy their soul, trap their form, damage their energy, lose their original essence, and harm their limbs. Immortals who enter this formation become mortals, and mortals who enter this formation perish immediately. Even the saints of the three religions cannot escape this formation."

Wen Zhong and Qiu Shou Xian exchanged a glance and were overjoyed.

Putting everything else aside, just from the last sentence, he knew this was no small matter.

Bixiao looked at Xiqi and said coldly, "It's time to settle accounts with them!"

Immediately, Wen Zhong mustered his troops, with four generals standing on the left and right, and Sanxiao, Qiushou Xian, Hanzhi Xian, and Zhao Gongming's two disciples also going into battle.

"Reporting, Prime Minister!"

A scout reported from the pavilion: "Grand Tutor Wen, along with those fairy maidens, has come to challenge us again."

"Here we go again..."

The people of Yuxu, who were silently cultivating their primordial spirit on the platform, opened their eyes, somewhat impatiently.

They were stuck here not for any other reason than waiting for Lu Ya to come and kill Zhao Gongming.

How many days late has Lu Ya actually arrived?

"It had only been quiet for half a month... ah..."

Huang Long yawned and said, "Is this ever going to end? Women are so troublesome."
