Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Under the cover of night, candlelight flickers in the Yunxia Cave of Taihua Mountain, casting eerie shadows on the cave walls.

Chi Jingzi's face was solemn, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes revealed panic and unease.

He was extremely anxious after learning that the disciple of Taiyi Zhenren had been robbed.

"Oh no, I can't just sit here and wait for the teacher to make arrangements. I'd better figure out a way myself!" He then hurriedly left his cave.

Along the way, the wind howled in his ears, as if urging him on, or as if warning him.

He moved with lightning speed, rushing towards Peach Blossom Cave on Mount Jiuxian. Before long, the familiar outline of Peach Blossom Cave came into view.

Chi Jingzi steadied himself outside the cave, took a deep breath, and called out loudly, "Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, I have important matters to discuss with you! Please grant me an audience!"

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi, who was inside the cave, responded with a slightly arrogant tone: "Come in."

Chi Jingzi strode into the cave and saw Guang Chengzi sitting on a stone bench, looking relaxed.

Chi Jingzi rushed forward, his face full of anxiety. "Senior brother, Senior Brother Taiyi's disciple has been snatched away by the Jie Sect! What are we going to do? Our disciple is in grave danger..."

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Hmph, those creatures with fur and horns, born from eggs and moisture, dare to steal the third-generation disciples of my Chan Sect!"

"Yes, senior brother, we'd better think of something quickly. Now that the Investiture of the Gods has changed, I'm afraid our disciples will also be snatched away by those beasts from the Intercepting Sect! Why don't we strike first and go to the Human King's Palace to snatch our disciples!"

Guang Chengzi remained calm, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "Don't panic, everything is under your teacher's control, what are you afraid of?"

Chi Jingzi secretly grumbled to himself, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and could only sigh repeatedly.

"Sigh, the teacher makes the decision? Everyone knows that in the teacher's eyes, you are the only disciple. Even if we are the Twelve Golden Immortals, he doesn't care about our lives at all."

He gritted his teeth and continued to instigate.

"Senior brother, there have been unexpected changes in the Investiture of the Gods. Although our teacher will help us, we can't expect him to do everything for us, can we? Think about it, if you can handle things yourself, our teacher will definitely look at you with new respect."

After hearing this, Guang Chengzi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"What he said makes some sense. If I can solve this problem on my own this time, I might be able to demonstrate my abilities to my teacher, and I will have a greater chance of taking over the Chan Sect in the future."

After a moment, he slowly said, "What my junior brother said makes sense."

Seeing that Guang Chengzi was wavering, Chi Jingzi pressed his advantage, "Yes, Senior Brother, think about it. You are the eldest senior brother. If you can handle this matter well, wouldn't your future be limitless!"

Guang Chengzi nodded after hearing this, but then looked troubled. "But my disciple Yin Jiao and your disciple Yin Hong are both in the Human King's Palace, which is also protected by the Divine Dragon of Fortune. What can we do?"

Chi Jingzi's lips curled up slightly, as if he had been prepared, and he took out a talisman that exuded holy power.

"Senior Brother, have you forgotten that the teacher gave each of us a talisman to conceal our form and aura? For half an hour, only a saint could recognize us."

A hint of surprise flashed in Guang Chengzi's eyes. "Indeed, although that Fortune Dragon possesses the cultivation of a Saint, it is ultimately just a lucky charm formed from the condensation of fortune. Junior Brother, let's go!"

Chi Jingzi was overjoyed, as if ten thousand warhorses were galloping. In fact, Chi Jingzi's fear was justified; if no one had shielded him from the calamity, he would surely have died.

If he had gone to the Human King's Palace alone and had been discovered by the human race, Yuanshi Tianzun might not have been able to withstand the pressure from the human race. However, with the addition of Guang Chengzi, Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to oppose the human race.

This is the bias of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, which is why four of the Twelve Golden Immortals defected from the Chan Sect to the Western Sect after the Investiture of the Gods. Chi Jingzi also knew this.

The two then flew towards Chaoge City. Along the way, fierce winds raged around them, but their anxiety kept them moving at an undiminished speed.

The two arrived near Chaoge City in half a day, and it was already noon.

Just as Chi Jingzi was about to activate the talisman to enter Chaoge City, he was stopped by Guang Chengzi.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother? Let's get the disciples away as soon as possible! The sooner the better!"

Guang Chengzi remained serious, looking at Chi Jingzi with arrogance, showing no sign of panic.

"Junior brother, it's still daytime. If you go now and something happens, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the human race. So let's go at night and finish this quickly. Even if something happens, they won't be able to find us."

Although Chi Jingzi was anxious, he understood Guang Chengzi's concerns and bowed, saying, "Haha, it was Junior Brother who was anxious. Please forgive me, Senior Brother."

After saying this, the two found a secluded spot and waited for nightfall. Chi Jingzi was filled with unease, glancing frequently in the direction of Chaoge City.

Guang Chengzi closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring the matter; this courage was given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun.

As the last rays of dusk faded, darkness spread like a tide. Night finally fell. Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with resolve.

They took out the talismans given to them by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, chanting incantations. The talismans shimmered with white light, concealing their figures and auras.

The two cautiously made their way towards the royal palace of Chaoge City. Torches flickered throughout the city, and patrolling soldiers came and went.

But under the influence of the talismans, they moved through the crowd like ghosts, unnoticed by anyone.

"Senior brother, do you know the direction of the Human King's Palace? If you wander aimlessly like this, you will be discovered sooner or later when the time comes."

Guang Chengzi was displeased upon hearing Chi Jingzi's words. "Junior brother, have you wasted all your cultivation? The most magnificent place is towards the Human King's Palace. Let's go in first!"

"Even if we get into the Human King's Palace, how will we find Yin Jiao and Yin Hong?"

"Don't panic, don't panic. My teacher gave me a compass before. It is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. It can be used to find people with affinity. So we just need to follow the direction of the compass."

"Haha, as expected of the senior brother, he is indeed deeply favored by the teacher, leaving the junior brother far behind."

Guang Chengzi didn't say much after hearing this, but he used magic to take out a compass and walked forward furtively.

Inside a side hall of the King's Palace, Xiang Wei opened her eyes and glared at the furtive Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi.

"Oh, as expected of Second Brother's disciple, this sneaky manner is just like him. Tsk tsk tsk, this is a bit too boring, how about I add a little more drama!"

After saying this, when the two of them reached the heart of the King's Palace, they raised their hands and waved, revealing their whereabouts.

The two, however, were completely unaware of this and continued to search for the sleeping quarters of Yin Jiao and Yin Hong.
