Chapter 211: Murder
That day, Holy Mother Wu Dang ordered Holy Mother Jin Ling to go to Dongji Miaoyan Palace to find Dongji Qinghua Emperor to ask for Jiuling Yuansheng, and ordered Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming to go to Futu Mountain to find Lu Ya, while she continued to try to sacrifice and refine the Chaos Bell.
Time passes without notice in cultivation.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang immersed herself in the Chaos Clock and was unaware of the passage of time.
It was not until Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming sent a message back to Lishan to ask the Golden Spirit Mother whether she would agree to Lu Ya's deal that she suddenly realized that the Golden Spirit Mother had been in Dongji Miaoyan Palace for more than two months.
Only then did he realize that something unexpected must have happened to the Golden Spirit Mother.
Taiyi Tianzun originally detained the Golden Spirit Mother in the Heavenly Prison to warn Jiejiao not to push their luck further, and he also asked Li Anran to report the matter to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor did not want to get into trouble, so he pretended not to see it and has not responded at all until now.
However, this matter had already spread throughout the heavenly court through the mouths of the heavenly soldiers, generals, divine officials and immortal officials in the Tianlao Palace.
That is to say, all the disciples of Jiejiao were practicing in the Lishan Mountain in the mortal world, so this matter did not reach the ears of Holy Mother Wu Dang.
At this time, Holy Mother Wu Dang wanted to inquire about it, and without much effort, she learned that Holy Mother Jin Ling had a fight with Emperor Dongji Qinghua because she wanted to forcibly bring Jiu Ling Yuansheng back to Lishan, and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by Emperor Dongji Qinghua.
The laws and regulations of heaven are the red line that cannot be crossed by mortals, monsters, minor gods and fairies, but for the disciples of the two sects of Chan and Jie, they never take it to heart!
All the disciples of Jiejiao understood at the first moment that Taiyi Tianzun was trying to scare them, and they immediately became furious and rushed to Dongji Miaoyan Palace to settle the score with Taiyi Tianzun's good corpse.
However, he was stopped by Holy Mother Wu Dang.
Although Holy Mother Wu Dang was also extremely angry, as the leader of the Jie Religion, she was much more sober and rational than others.
During the Conferred Gods Tribulation period, the Jie Religion was the only dominant one among the Three Realms. If the saints were not counted, the Human Religion, the Orthodox Religion, and the Western Religion combined might not be a match for the Jie Religion.
But now it is no longer the same as before!
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, most of the Jiejiao disciples were killed, and the rest were either included in the Conferred God List or forcibly converted by the Western Religions, leaving only a very small number of them.
Now, although those disciples of the Jiejiao who were on the list have escaped from the List of Conferred Gods, except for a few people such as the Golden Spirit Mother, the Three Sky, Zhao Gongming, etc. who have rebuilt their bodies and recovered most of their strength, the rest have only been reincarnated and cultivated for more than 300 years, and the fastest progress has only reached the Xuanxian realm, and are no match for the Chenjiao.
If they really fall out with Taiyi Tianzun, Xuanmen will not end well, and Jiejiao will definitely suffer an even worse fate!
Just like when the Qilin clan failed to recognize the situation and still thought they were the leaders of the beasts, they fought a great battle with the demon clan at Mount Buzhou.
In the end, the entire tribe was killed or wounded, and most of the remaining ones were reduced to mounts. It can be said that they had the worst fate among the three ancient tribes!
"Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, Junior Sister Yunxiao, leave Junior Sister Jin Ling's affairs to me."
"You guys stay in Lishan and refine your spirits to the best state as soon as possible. When your strength is restored, we will find a way to complete the deal with Lu Ya. Only if you succeed in refining the Chaos Bell, no one in the three realms will dare to humiliate our sect like this."
The Holy Mother Wu Dang suppressed the anger in her heart, stopped the furious members of the Jiejiao sect, and went to the Heavenly Prison in person.
"Stop! Who are you? How dare you..."
The Holy Mother Wu Dang is extremely famous in the circle of powerful people, but to ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals, she has no sense of existence!
They are far inferior to the 365 gods who were once on the list!
When she appeared outside the prison gate, the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the prison immediately stopped her.
Buzz!
As the Holy Mother Wu Dang glanced over, an invisible and terrifying pressure swept across, causing ripples in the void.
The heavenly soldiers and generals didn't even have a chance to react before they were knocked flying and fell to the ground.
"The prison is a restricted area! No entry for outsiders!"
"Someone has broken into the prison! Report to the master!"
"Come here, help me stop her!"
…
The Holy Mother Wu Dang had no intention of concealing her tracks. She walked towards the sky prison with a cold face.
Countless heavenly soldiers and generals brandished their weapons and tried to stop her, but before they could get close to her, they were blown away by the invisible pressure and fell into coma.
The mechanisms, formations, traps and barriers in the Heavenly Prison are also useless.
The Holy Mother Wu Dang was unwilling to even try to break or dodge. She just swept her divine sense and forcibly crushed the mechanisms and formations, leaving no residue at all.
Although Li Anran was practicing in a quiet room, he immediately noticed the movement outside. Without the heavenly soldiers and generals notifying him, he stood up and walked out.
Just then, they saw that the heavenly soldiers and generals were so frightened by the Holy Mother Wu Dang that they dared not step forward. Instead, they kept retreating in a panic, trying to keep a distance from the Holy Mother Wu Dang.
Divine light and auspicious aura enveloped the back of Mother Wu Dang, making her look cold and majestic. She looked like a true deity who had descended to the earth, bringing with her a tremendous momentum that was chilling.
——It just looks like it!
Li Anran's face was calm and indifferent, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He only saw four words on the Holy Mother Wu Dang - "strong on the outside but weak on the inside"!
The Holy Mother Wu Dang did not go to the Lingxiao Palace to find the Jade Emperor, nor did she go to the Dongji Miaoyan Palace to find the Qinghua Emperor. Instead, she came to the Heavenly Prison to find him, and behaved so domineeringly and unscrupulously.
It was simply because he was concerned about the power of the Chan sect and wanted to maintain the last bit of dignity of the Jie sect, so he chose the day of the morning court in Heaven today, hoping to step on the face of the Heavenly Court and use this soft persimmon to establish his authority!
However, this also completely exposed the weakness of Jiejiao!
This is actually nothing, there are many people in the Three Realms who can see it!
No matter how weak the Jiejiao is, or how strong it looks on the outside but weak on the inside, it still has strength!
However, Yang Jian was about to announce the news that Jiejiao had obtained the Chaos Bell at the morning court!
When these two things are put together, it becomes a big problem!
“I don’t know how many people would regard Jiejiao as a piece of fat meat and take a bite!”
Li Anran looked at the Holy Mother Wu Dang who was still ignorant of this and sneered in his heart.
Apart from anything else, the Demon Master's Mansion and the Sea of Blood and the Styx will never be let go!
It’s hard to say about Heaven and Lingshan.
In addition, Xuanmen is also eyeing them covetously, so Jiejiao’s situation this time is not much better than the catastrophe during the Conferred Gods Tribulation!
Wu Dang Sheng Mu also noticed Li Anran and shouted, "Li Anran, quickly release my junior sister! Otherwise, don't blame me for not respecting the friendship of the three religions and bullying the weak!"
The Holy Mother Wu Dang was already a Golden Immortal during the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods. She was not included in the Conferred Gods List, and she inherited the mantle and legacy of the Patriarch Tongtian, becoming the second leader of the Jie Religion.
After all these years, at least one corpse has been killed!
Her strength is much stronger than that of the Golden Spirit Mother!
"Uncle Wudang."
Although Li Anran was belligerent, he was not masochistic, and did not want to die. Seeing that the Holy Mother Wu Dang was talking about the friendship of the three religions, he climbed up the ladder, bowed respectfully, and said, "It's not that I don't want to let you go. Uncle Jin Ling made a scene in the prison, trying to take away the Holy Mother Jiu Ling who came to the world without permission, which violated the rules of heaven."
"The Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole personally captured her and imprisoned her in the Heavenly Prison, saying that he wanted her to reflect on her past and mend her ways. I dare not release her without permission, so I ask my uncle not to..."
"Do you mean you won't let go?" Holy Mother Wu Dang interrupted Li Anran directly with an unfriendly tone.
She came here to vent her anger on Li Anran and establish her authority, and had no intention of reasoning with him.
Not to mention, the excuses Li Anran gave seemed to her to be all fabricated nonsense, without any sincerity at all, and it was clear that he was deliberately targeting her Jiejiao!
boom!
The auspicious aura surrounding the Holy Mother Wu Dang suddenly changed, from peaceful and holy to violent and oppressive like a volcano before an eruption. The terrifying momentum condensed into substance and turned into a green light curtain, covering the sky and the sun.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The heavenly soldiers and generals were unable to bear it after being affected a little. They fell to the ground in large numbers and lost consciousness.
Li Anran's breathing also stagnated, and he felt...
No, it should be said that it was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his body and soul, causing his body to collapse slightly and he felt as if he couldn't breathe.
Moreover, this mountain was constantly growing bigger, heavier, and even more numerous. It came from all directions, squeezing him in the middle, as if it wanted to crush his body, flesh, spirit, and bones.
Li Anran clenched his fists and felt as if there was a fire burning inside his body.
The greater the pressure outside, the more vigorously and violently the flame burns.
When everything reaches its limit, it is as if the universe exploded at the beginning.
boom!
Li Anran stood up straight abruptly, with divine light surging in his eyes, like two blazing suns in the sky.
Rays of golden light suddenly gushed out from his body, condensing into a huge ball of golden flame that shot up into the sky, piercing through the green light curtain and forcibly breaking through the pressure exerted on him by the Holy Mother Wu Dang.
Snap! Snap!
The golden light and the green light collided violently, and the void began to tremble. A dividing line visible to the naked eye was formed at the intersection of the two. There was a roaring sound, and a black space crack appeared faintly.
The face of Holy Mother Wu Dang was full of disbelief.
If the person in front of her was Yang Jian, she would be surprised, but she would be able to accept it.
After all, Yang Jian has already broken through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converging to the Origin. His cultivation is far inferior to hers, but he has also crossed that threshold and is essentially not much different from her.
But this Li Anran is just a Taiyi Golden Immortal, there is a qualitative difference between him and her. How can he withstand her pressure?
"I want to see how capable you are!" The Holy Mother Wu Dang snorted coldly, no longer holding back.
boom!
The blue light in the sky became brighter and deeper, and there was a golden lotus swaying faintly in the void, which was the flower of god among the three flowers of essence, energy and spirit.
The golden flames around Li Anran were suppressed in an instant, and the range shrank from several feet around him to almost close to Li Anran's body.
But, that’s all!
No matter how violent the green light was, it could not make the golden light retreat even a little bit!
Instead, it made the golden light more condensed, as if it were real!
To put it simply, momentum is the momentum of the soul!
The collision of momentum is a collision of spiritual power, as well as a collision of state of mind and will!
The spirit and soul are the origin of all living things, and their importance is even greater than essence and qi!
It is also the most difficult one to condense among the three flowers!
This is especially true for major sects like Chan and Jie, which have profound cultural heritage, abundant natural treasures, and many ways to improve their spiritual energy !
Li Anran's spirit and soul can hold on in front of her, which basically means that Li Anran will definitely be able to break through to the Daluo Jinxian realm in the future.
"First it was Yang Jian, and now it's Li Anran! How hateful!" The Holy Mother Wu Dang couldn't help but feel filled with anger and hatred.
Back then, there were such talented people in her Jiejiao, but in the end, they all made it to the List of Gods!
Although he has now escaped from the Investiture of the Gods and reincarnated, thousands of years of time have passed and thousands of years of resentment have lingered in his heart, and his original flawless state of mind is long gone, and his soul has also been tainted by filth and dirt.
In the future, if you want to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, it will be many times more difficult than it was back then!
Now, they can barely compete with Taiyi Tianzun and others, but what about in the future?
When Yang Jian, Li Anran and Nezha have all grown up, what will happen to their Jiejiao?
Holy Mother Wu Dang couldn't find the answer, and a murderous intent suddenly arose in her heart.
In this case, why doesn't she take this opportunity to eliminate this future enemy!
She wants to kill me!
Li Anran was suddenly startled. He had practiced the Hehuan technique to the extreme and almost instantly sensed the murderous intent of the Holy Mother Wu Dang. He was somewhat surprised and a little bit unbelievable.
The gap in strength between Jiejiao and Chenjiao should not be too big now!
The Holy Mother Wu Dang got the Chaos Bell, but instead of trying to stay alive and develop, she actually wanted to kill him at this time?
Isn’t she afraid of angering Taiyi Tianzun and causing another war between Chan and Jie?
wrong!
Li Anran quickly realized that he was wrong.
He has always looked at things from his own perspective. He knows how much Taiyi Tianzun values him, and he even wants to give him the Four Swords of Zhuxian so that he can form a real Zhuxian Formation.
But, Holy Mother Wu Dang didn’t know this!
In her eyes, he was just a new disciple of Taiyi Tianzun, and the two of them did not have much affection for each other!
Even if he is extremely talented, it is only talent and potential!
There is no way that the Chan sect will go to war with the Jie sect for him!
Li Anran realized this and immediately no longer dared to use this pressure to temper himself. With a thought, he directly summoned the Tianguang Mirror.
Buzz!
The Skylight Mirror flew over Li Anran's head, like a drop of ink dropped into water, stirring up the blue light in the sky.
Strands of light sprinkled down, and as the mirror rotated, they intertwined with each other, forming a milky white light shield that covered him.
The pressure was blocked, but the murderous intent of Holy Mother Wu Dang did not dissipate, but became stronger and stronger!
Li Anran did not dare to be careless at all. He directly took the Vajra file in his hand and at the same time pinched the magic formula, ready to escape using the Rainbow Transformation Technique.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
It won’t be too late to seek revenge on the Holy Mother Wu Dang after he gets the Four Swords of Zhu Xian!
At this time, Taibai Jinxing's voice came from outside: "Mother Lishan, His Majesty has ordered you to go to Lingxiao Palace."
It seemed as if Holy Mother Wu Dang did not hear anything. Her eyes were fixed on Li Anran without moving.
Until the second half of Taibai Jinxing's words came.
"…ask about the Chaos Bell."
