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

Chapter 568 I'll Break the Formation
"Senior Brother Chi Jingzi!"

Seeing that Chi Jingzi was captured by Yunxiao in one move, the Yuxu people couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi were inseparable and had a very close relationship. Upon seeing Chi Jingzi captured, Guang Chengzi immediately looked at Randeng beside him and exclaimed anxiously, "Teacher?!"

Upon hearing this, Randeng seemed to be moved, but then his expression changed slightly and his heart tightened. He looked up and saw Yunxiao looking at him with a calm gaze.

This made him stop what he was doing and dare not make any more rash moves.

Seeing that he could not be relied upon, Guang Chengzi had no choice but to draw his sword and shout: "Sanxiao, do not rely on your unorthodox and heretical arts of Biyou to look down on us and insult the immortals of my Chan Sect."

Qiongxiao said, "Guangchengzi, even if you are the first immortal to strike the Golden Bell in Yuxu Palace, you will not be able to escape your fate today if you encounter my formation. You might even have your name on the Investiture of the Gods list."

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi flew into a rage and charged forward with his sword.

These words had a tremendous impact on them, who were caught in the midst of a calamity.

Bixiao also drew her sword and flew through the air to meet him. The two fought for several rounds in the sky. Suddenly, Guangchengzi's eyes flashed and he flipped his left hand, sending a golden light flying towards the clouds.

The golden light rapidly expanded, transforming into a precious seal, swirling with chaotic energy, blasting through the void, and crashing head-on towards the clouds.

Although this precious seal is only the size of a palm, its appearance gives people the feeling of an ancient divine mountain, towering and majestic, supporting the heavens and the earth, a terrifying and frightening sight.

It is indeed—the Heaven-Turning Seal!

Good awareness, quick action, and good at seizing opportunities... This is Yu Ding's evaluation of his senior brother who earned the name "Saint Mary Killer".

His several exchanges with Bixiao were merely a prelude to closing the distance; his ultimate goal was always Yunxiao, but Yunxiao had long since achieved the Great Luo realm, and he had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

To save his fellow disciples, he had no choice but to take a risky gamble: get close and use the Heaven-Turning Seal to launch a surprise attack, catching them off guard. Perhaps then he would have a sliver of hope.

However, in order to get a chance to make a move, he was struck by a blazing sword light from Bixiao and sent flying.

Of course, he didn't fly far before he regained his footing. His complexion was normal, and he seemed to be unharmed. His immortal robes were shrouded in wisps of purple energy.

It was this fairy robe that protected them from the damage.

"The Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe?"

Bixiao gritted her teeth, ignoring Guangchengzi, and quickly exclaimed, "Big sister, be careful!"

As Yunxiao saw the treasure seal coming towards her, her eyes flashed and she raised her fair hand, which shone with divine light, and struck the Heaven-Turning Seal with her palm.

When their palm prints met, a blinding light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the sky trembled violently, the sound of which was like the creation of the world.

Yunxiao stood still, while the Heaven-Turning Seal flew backward.

Yunxiao looked down and saw that his palm was cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, the cracks emitting golden light and trickling with blood. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a magnificent Jade Void treasure!"

She clenched her fist violently, making a cracking sound. The golden light shattered, and a surge of vitality erupted, instantly healing her injuries completely.

Beside him, Qiongxiao had already made a hand seal and pointed at the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, activating its power. A golden light shone down and sucked Guangchengzi into it as well. The Golden Bucket flipped over and was thrown into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Once inside, the formation activated, causing one to lose their primordial spirit, their three flowers to be severed, their five energies to be scattered, their heavenly gate to be closed, and their Dao fruit to be lost.

"what?"

"Senior brother?"

The people of Yuxu were shocked. Putting aside Taiyi and Chijingzi, the timing of this senior brother's attack was just right, and he also had a magic weapon like the Fantian Seal.

Unexpectedly, all their efforts ultimately failed.

Seeing that Yunxiao was alright, Bixiao breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the Yuxu group, saying, "Even if you beg me now, I will not let you go."

She leaped to Yunxiao's side and said, "Elder sister, things have come to this point. The moon is waning and the mirror cannot be made whole again. Let's just see this through to the end!"

Brother Yu Ding, I'm sorry... Qiong Xiao sighed inwardly, severing her guilt. Her narrowed eyes suddenly opened, flashing with cold light: "Eldest sister, we have no way out. There's no need to hold back anymore."

Taiyi, Guangchengzi, and Chijingzi were all Yuding's fellow disciples. Now that they had been reduced to mortals by them, the enmity between them had grown to the point where there was no possibility of reconciliation.

They felt a little sorry for Yu Ding, since he had just helped their elder brother. Their actions seemed like repaying kindness with enmity. They would let him off the hook later to make amends... Hmm, where is he?

Suddenly, Qiongxiao looked at the other side with some surprise. The emotions on both sides were so intense just now that she realized... there seemed to be a few not enough people.

Yunxiao shook his head: "Fine, Daoist Randeng, I cannot let you go today either."

She raised her hand to activate the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, but Ran Deng was startled. Seeing that the situation was not good, she made a quick decision, turned around and transformed into a golden light to escape, leaving the eight people bewildered in the wind.

Everyone: "(〃A)(д`)"

Huanglong: Σ(°△°|||)
"This dog is so energetic..."

Huang Long cursed angrily, looked up at Sanxiao and Hanzhixian and the others, and stamped his feet in regret: "If only I had gone to protect Yuding."

Bixiao sneered, "This fellow runs fast."

She looked down at Huang Long and the others, whose faces were contorted with bitterness, and said jokingly, "Hey, Huang Long, your teacher Ran Deng has abandoned you and run away, but you're not getting away now."

Everyone's faces turned even more bitter. This woman's words were truly vicious; she not only killed them but also wounded their spirit!
If Randeng had been able to hold Yunxiao back, they would definitely still have a chance to fight back. Who would have thought that Randeng would betray them like this?

However, that Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is indeed powerful...

"What should we do?" Everyone smiled bitterly.

Facing the Three Immortals, Qiongxiao and Bixiao were no less powerful than them, and Yunxiao was a strongman who had attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit for many years. They also set up the terrifying Nine Turns Yellow River formation.

They were now facing a dilemma... they couldn't win, and they couldn't run away!

Grand Master Lingbao sighed, "Alas, now that I am facing the precept against killing, what good is regret now!"

The others couldn't help but sigh. Dao Xing Tianzun said in a low voice, "At this point, we can't care about morality anymore. Let's all attack together."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and in the next instant, they all displayed their unique abilities, some offering up their treasures, others brandishing their swords and charging into battle.

Yunxiao made hand seals and a dazzling burst of light, striking Huanglong and the others. They hurriedly raised their swords to defend, but they could only hold out for a moment before being sent flying like ants trying to shake a tree, crashing to the ground.

As soon as they got up, Qiongxiao and Bixiao activated the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, sending down beams of golden light that grabbed them and threw them into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

In an instant, all eight were captured and brought into the formation, their Heavenly Gates were closed, and they lost their Daoist fruits.

"strangeness……"

After capturing everyone and bringing them into the formation, Bixiao counted them again and again and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, how come there are only eleven? Where is Yu Dingren? Where did this guy go?"

Qiongxiao glanced at him: "He's Yang Jian's master. If you really hurt him, do you believe Yang Jian will fight you to the death?"

Bixiao gave a wry smile and didn't reply.

With such a deep-seated grudge, she lost all interest in anything else.

Han Zhixian laughed and said, "Yu Ding suffered a calamity earlier and has lost his cultivation. He is no threat."

Looking out at the distant reed huts, Yunxiao said, "It's better that Yu Ding isn't here; it saves us from trouble."

Immediately, everyone descended from the sky, and Wen Zhong and Qiu Shou Xian, along with their disciples, rushed forward with excited expressions.

Wen Zhong said happily, "My three senior uncles are all incredibly powerful. They have finally defeated these Yuxu disciples who bullied our sect. Please come in, I will host a banquet to celebrate your victory."

Yunxiao glanced at Xiqi City and said, "Jiang Ziya, all the disciples of Yuxu Sect are currently in my formation. If you want them to be safe, exchange them for the Arrow Scroll and the Straw Man."

Qiu Shou Xian and Wen Zhong exchanged a glance and whispered, "Senior Sister, we finally managed to capture those despicable guys from Yu Xu. Are we really just going to let them go back?"

Yunxiao said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and talk about it."

The group immediately returned to their camp.

After they left, the two men on the Xiqi city wall stared at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with horror.

Jiang Ziya's face turned pale, and he could feel his heart pounding wildly.

Ao Bing swallowed hard and muttered, "What amazing Third Fairy Maiden, what amazing Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, I'm glad I didn't go in."

Jiang Ziya glanced at Ao Bing and said sincerely, "Yes, you're quite clever, kid."

It's one thing for Nezha and the other juniors to perish, but now even these senior brothers have all perished inside. If Ao Bing had reacted any slower, wouldn't the two of them have ended up inside too?

Ao Bing chuckled, "My master said that of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. You see, Lord Ran Deng is also well-versed in this stratagem." Jiang Ziya was taken aback, "What thirty-six stratagems?"

Ao Bing shook his head: "I don't know. My master taught me this. He said that this plan, combined with the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, would be enough for me to roam the world freely. Now everyone is trapped in that formation, and only the two of us are left. What should we do?"

"How would I know..." Jiang Ziya gave a bitter laugh and sat down on the ground without any regard for his image.

I originally thought that these senior brothers would be able to master the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, but who would have thought that he couldn't do it? When these teachers and senior brothers came... he still couldn't do it.

boom!
Suddenly the ground shook, and Jiang Ziya was startled. He looked up and saw the Four-Faced Beast staring at him fiercely, white smoke billowing from its nostrils, looking very angry.

Jiang Ziya felt a little guilty and didn't dare to lower his head, but then he realized that he hadn't run away himself; Ao Bing had led him away. So why was he ashamed and guilty?
Ao Bing, being a young man full of energy, looked around and suddenly said, "Lord Ran Deng has returned to Lupeng."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya quickly got up from the ground and called Ao Bing to meet him at the reed hut.

Although this teacher's act of betraying his teammates is despicable, he himself has also fled, so he cannot stand on moral high ground to criticize anyone. Therefore, let's not judge each other.

When they arrived at the awning, they found the lamp already waiting.

Jiang Ziya said anxiously, "Master, all of my fellow disciples are trapped in the Yellow River Formation. What should we do?"

Ran Deng shook his head: "I think their safety is not a problem. It's just a pity that all their cultivation has been in vain. Now I can only go to Yuxu Palace to see the sect leader and see how to deal with this matter."

Immediately, Ran Deng sighed and rose into the clouds.

He also suffered considerable losses on this trip to Xiqi. For one thing, he rode a deer when he came.

At this time, inside the business premises.

Wen Zhongzheng and the Three Immortals held a banquet to celebrate their victory and talked about the release of the Twelve Immortals.

Bixiao said, "They have already had their three flowers removed, their five qi scattered, and their Dao fruit lost within the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. Even if we release them, they will pose no threat to you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong, Qiu Shou Xian, and the others were overjoyed and raised their cups in celebration.

After drinking a cup, Yunxiao excused himself and went to a quiet, secluded spot to stand and ponder, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Is Eldest Sister troubled by matters concerning those Jade Void Sect members?" Qiongxiao asked as she approached.

Yunxiao nodded slightly: "The task is easy to do, but the consequences are unpredictable. This time, the disciples of Yuxu Sect have had their Dao Fruits cut off by us. I'm afraid it will provoke my master uncle to come down the mountain. It will be difficult to explain then."

Qiongxiao said silently, "We've all been talking in the heat of the moment. We can't be entirely blamed for what has happened. Besides, they've killed so many of my Biyou disciples and fellow Daoists, even harming my elder brother so badly."

We at least spared their lives; we didn't go too far. If we were in their hands, would they have shown mercy?

Yunxiao remained silent, then let out a long sigh.

On Qilin Cliff in Yuxu Palace.

A figure stood silently for a long time, gazing into the distance with a deep look that seemed to pierce through space.

“I told you to come with me, but you wouldn’t. I can’t handle you…” Yu Ding shook his head.

Just then, Kongxu came over and handed out a palm-sized Jade Void Golden Bell, saying, "Master says you can go now."

Yu Ding's lips unconsciously curled up. "Brothers, hold on! Our godfather is here to save the day!"

He raised his hand to take the golden bell, his body radiating a clear light. With a single step, fragments of time danced in the air, and his figure vanished in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, a beam of light landed on Qilin Cliff, transforming into a lamp. He looked in surprise at the direction the jade cauldron had left and asked, "Who just left?"

Kongxu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yuding!"

Ran Deng was taken aback: "Yu Ding? He survived the tribulation? Well, returning to one's original source and rebuilding one's Dao fruit is easier than the first time."

He said, "Please inform the sect leader that Guang Chengzi and the others are trapped in the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation of the Three Immortals."

Kongxu looked at him and smiled, "Master already knows about this matter. Senior Brother Yuding went there because Master asked him to save the other senior brothers."

"Who?"

Ran Deng's eyes widened, as if he had misheard. He stared at the empty space suspiciously: "Send Yu Ding? I don't believe it!"

Kongxu laughed and said, "How dare I presume to relay your words, sir?"

Ran Deng glanced at the empty space, then turned and said, "I'll go take a look!"

Eight Views Palace!
On the central high platform, the Celestial Venerable of Morality opened his eyes, glanced in the direction of Xiqi, and then slowly closed his eyes with a smile.

It has to be said that having someone run errands is convenient, and Yu Ding is quite good at it.

The only downside was that he was given a game disguised as Laozi, which led to him becoming obsessed with games and neglecting his duties, resulting in a backlog of tasks issued by the Heavenly Court.

However, it's not a big problem; a 'chosen one' will take care of everything.

Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya and Ao Bing were still waiting anxiously when suddenly, the sky lit up with celestial light, and countless brilliant, crystalline golden lotuses, formed from condensed spiritual energy, bloomed continuously.

boom--

A golden road, dazzling and magnificent, stretches for thousands of miles as if it came from beyond the heavens, crossing the sky and descending upon the reed beds of Xiqi with extraordinary grandeur.

A figure stood on this avenue.

"Quickly, prepare to pay your respects, your grandmaster has arrived!" Jiang Ziya exclaimed in delight.

Ao Bing, looking both nervous and expectant, nodded repeatedly as he led the way.

Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped out of the golden light and stood with his back to them.

Jiang Ziya exclaimed with delight, "This disciple respectfully welcomes Senior Brother...?"

Ao Bing, who was halfway through bowing in prayer, looked up in surprise: "Master?"

But when they were halfway through their prayers, the figure turned around and revealed a face they knew all too well.

The old man and the young man looked at each other in bewilderment and asked, "How come it's you?"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Why can't it be me?"

As expected of Master, he always makes such a grand entrance, no, such a spectacle. From now on, I will also… Ao Bing suddenly remembered the important matter and hurriedly said, “Master, you don’t know, Uncle Taiyi and the others are all trapped in some Nine Turns Yellow River Formation by those hateful fairies.”

Jiang Ziya scolded, "Why are you telling your senior brother all this?"

Yu Ding smiled and said, "Ziya, don't worry, I have successfully passed the tribulation. I have come here to break the formation."

"Really?"

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed to hear this, but then worriedly said, "Senior brother, let me make this clear: it's not that I don't trust you, but even if your cultivation recovers, this formation won't be easy to break. Even Master Ran Deng..."

Yu Ding smiled mysteriously: "My master has already secretly taught me the method to break the formation. We'll see how it goes tomorrow."

Jiang Ziya nodded with some doubt, then remembered something and hurriedly took out the apricot-yellow flag from his bosom, saying, "Lend this treasure to my senior brother for self-defense!"

"Good, good, your senior brother didn't spoil you for nothing..." Yu Ding wanted to refuse, but the words came out before he could finish: "Okay!"

Although he had devised several ways to break the formation and made several contingency plans for the Three Immortals to turn their backs on him, having more flags meant having more options.

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and smiled slightly. "You said you'd come, but you were sneaking around looking at it."

The three members of the Shang family stood outside the tent, their expressions becoming solemn as they watched the golden light slowly dissipate in the sky.

"It seems that my senior uncle has arrived," Bixiao said.

Qiongxiao looked at the silent Yunxiao and said, "Elder sister, don't worry. Even if our master uncle comes in person, we are in the right. If they had given us the arrow book, we wouldn't be in this situation today."

"Yes, he is not our master, nor are we his disciples. We only address him as our senior master out of respect for our master."

Bixiao snorted coldly: "Now that the formation has been set up, if he can distinguish right from wrong tomorrow, we will still respect him as our senior uncle. If he cannot, hmph, we will acknowledge him as our senior uncle, but we will not acknowledge the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

"Master said that even the sages of the three religions would find it difficult to escape from this formation. We'll show them the power of our Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation."

Yunxiao looked at Bixiao, who was beaming with enthusiasm, eager to try, and even quite confident, and frowned slightly, hesitating to speak.

She really wanted to say, although it's true that Master said that, but... we've never verified whether it's true or not!
