Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 309 Wei Hu Makes a Move, Western Disciples Appear

If we could bring them all into the Xiqi camp and send them to the Investiture of the Gods, that would be perfect.

With his own thoughts in mind, Shen Gongbao stepped into Mount Sumeru. As soon as he entered, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards him.

The speed at which the profound skill circulated increased, and the magical power within the body also flowed unconsciously.

Upon arriving at the Taoist temple of the Eighteen Taoists, Shen Gongbao immediately saw two Taoists with joyful expressions walking towards Mount Sumeru.

Shen Gongbao slapped his forehead, only then remembering that today was the day the Sage Zhunti was giving a sermon.

Without thinking, he quickly waved, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

The Long-Browed Taoist and the Deer-Sitting Taoist were originally preparing to go to Mount Sumeru to listen to a lecture.

Suddenly hearing a voice behind me, I felt a chill and quickly turned around.

"So it's Senior Brother Gong Bao."

The Long-Browed Taoist and the Deer-Sitting Taoist exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised.

They remembered that Shen Gongbao was not sent down the mountain by his teachers.

He went to assist that so-called Heavenly Mandate True Lord, why is he back now!

"Senior Brother Gongbao, I remember you went down the mountain to assist the Heavenly Mandate True Lord. Now that you've returned, have you encountered some difficulties?"

Shen Gongbao sighed, "My two junior brothers, in the process of assisting the Heavenly Mandate True Lord, the Jie Sect has repeatedly opposed us. Not long ago, Han Dulong and Xue Ehu, the third-generation disciples of Master Yuanshi, were sent to the Investiture of the Gods by Yu Hua, the fourth-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, with the help of magic weapons. I have returned to the mountain this time to ask my fellow junior brothers to join me in dealing with the disciples of the Jie Sect."

"Are the fourth-generation disciples of the Jie Sect really that powerful?"

The Deer-Sitting Taoist and the Long-Browed Taoist were somewhat surprised.

They only knew that the second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect were all very powerful, but were the fourth-generation disciples just as powerful?

"Not too powerful, around the level of a Golden Immortal, but he possesses two formidable magic treasures."

Shen Gongbao looked troubled.

"He's only at the Golden Immortal level!"

Long-browed and Sitting-Deer breathed a sigh of relief. A Golden Immortal's cultivation level was nothing to worry about; with their combined strength, they could easily take him down.

More importantly, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to show our faces in front of the sage teacher, with the help of resources, we will surely be able to attain the Great Luo as soon as possible.

Once one attains the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one gains the ability to live forever in blissful ignorance, becoming a truly supreme immortal.

But once they descend the mountain, they will enter a calamity, a great calamity that is extremely dangerous, and they might attract the powerful cultivators of the Jie Sect.

Seeing that the Deer-Sitting Taoist and the Long-Browed Taoist were hesitant, Shen Gongbao pressed his advantage, "What are you two junior brothers worried about?"

The Taoist Master Sitting on the Deer and the Taoist Master with Long Eyebrows expressed their concerns.

Shen Gongbao waved his hand, a hint of arrogance on his face, "Don't worry, junior brothers. Senior Brother Yaoshi will handle those second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect. You just need to get Yu Hua on the list."

The Long-Browed Taoist and the Deer-Sitting Taoist exchanged a glance, a fighting spirit flashing in their eyes. "Alright, Senior Brother Gongbao, we'll accompany you down the mountain now."

"Thank you for your help, junior brothers."

Shen Gongbao pretended to be very grateful.

"Hey, Senior Brother Gongbao, you're too kind. Your business is our business, no need for thanks."

Shen Gongbao, pulling along the long-browed Taoist and the deer-riding Taoist, hurriedly headed down Mount Sumeru.

In the middle of Sishui Pass, on the distant horizon, a burly man, eight feet tall, rode a strange beast.

The eight-foot-tall strong man was none other than Yu Yuan, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect and a Qi Immortal. He was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother and possessed extraordinary talent. He had already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, second only to Liu Er among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect.

That wondrous beast was called the Golden-Eyed Five-Cloud Camel. It had four legs, its body was covered with golden fur, and it had a single horn on its head. Its kicks were incredibly wondrous!

Yu Yuanfei arrived at the city wall, where Yu Hua, along with Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass, and Wang Hu, the vanguard officer, came to greet him.

"Teacher, you've arrived."

With Yu Yuan's arrival, Yu Hua felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

"Greetings, Immortal Yu Yuan."

Han Rong and Wang Hu bowed respectfully, for they had long heard of this immortal from the Jie Sect.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't stand on ceremony. My disciple here at Sishui Pass has been well taken care of."

Although Yu Yuan was an immortal, he had no arrogance whatsoever. He nodded and smiled at Han Rong and Wang Hu.

"No, no, if it weren't for Yu Hua, we probably wouldn't have been able to deal with Han Dulong and Xue Ehu."

Han Rong smiled wryly.

Yu Yuan looked at Yu Hua and asked, "Did you send me this time because there's something troublesome to deal with?"

"I killed Han Dulong and Xue Ehu, disciples of the Dao Xing Zhenren of the Chan Sect. I asked you, Master, to come and help me because I was worried that I would not be a match for Dao Xing Zhenren if he came in person."

"I see."

Yu Yuan stretched his muscles and bones, making cracking sounds all over his body. "It's just the right time for me to stretch my muscles and bones properly after staying on Jin'ao Island for so long."

Yu Yuan followed Yu Hua to rest in a guest room at Sishui Pass.

On the other side, Dao Xing Zhenren, along with his direct disciple Wei Hu, descended the mountain and arrived at the Xiqi army camp.

Wei Hu, a direct descendant of Dao Xing Zhenren, far surpasses Han Dulong and Xue Ehu. He possesses the cultivation of a peak Golden Immortal and wields the Demon-Subduing Pestle bestowed upon him by his grandmaster Yuanshi, making him incredibly powerful. He once single-handedly defeated the combined forces of three peak Golden Immortal demons, making him arguably the number one figure in the third generation of Yuqing.

This time, I went down the mountain with my teacher, Dao Xing Zhenren, to avenge my junior brothers, Han Dulong and Xue Ehu, and to send Yu Hua to the Investiture of the Gods.

In the Xiqi camp, Ji Chang, along with Ji Fa and all the civil and military officials, respectfully bowed to Dao Xing Zhenren, covered their faces, and wept, saying, "Zhenren, we are truly sorry. It was our carelessness and underestimation of the enemy that led to the unfortunate death of your disciple."

"This is not the fault of the Marquis; it is their fate that is to suffer this calamity."

Dao Xing Zhenren waved his hand. When he heard the news of Han Dulong and Xue Ehu's deaths, he was actually angry and saddened, but after regaining his senses, he was no longer so angry.

Han Dulong and Xue Ehu were at best two outer disciples who didn't learn much real skill. Their demise is nothing to regret.

Wei Hu coldly said, "My lord, can you confirm that it was Yu Hua of the Jie Sect who killed my two junior brothers?"

Ji Fa quickly stepped forward, saying, "It is absolutely true; how could I dare to deceive Immortal Protector Wei?"

"Teacher, I'll go and fight Yu Hua for three hundred rounds right now to avenge my junior brother!"

Wei Hu was furious. The disciples of the Jie Sect were far too arrogant. He had to teach Yu Hua a lesson and send him to the Investiture of the Gods.

"Alright, then go ahead and challenge them. Remember, there's no such thing as camaraderie among fellow disciples. If it can get Yu Hua on the list, then by all means, make a move."

Dao Xing Zhenren instructed, "A mere fourth-generation disciple of the Jie Sect is nothing special. It is only right to include him on the list!"

"Yes."

Immediately, Ji Fa mustered tens of thousands of troops and marched with Wei Hu to the front of Sishui Pass, shouting and cursing loudly, while Dao Xing Zhenren hid among them.

The insults were extremely vile, including references to ancestors for eighteen generations.

After cursing for a while, Wei Hu walked out carrying the Demon-Subduing Pestle on his back. He slammed the pestle heavily on the ground and shouted, "Remnants of the Jie Sect, do you dare to come out and fight me!"
