Can't Stand This Lousy Jie Sect Anymore

Chapter 151 Tongtian: Are You Backstabbing Me Kid? (Second update please subscribe)


The majestic East Sea, with its endless waves of azure.

Near Tang Valley, the resplendent and majestic Penglai Fairyland stood tall above the glistening waves.

"Shua shua shua!"

Beams of golden light, like meteors, streaked across the sky, coming to an abrupt halt as they neared Penglai Fairyland, revealing a dozen figures.

The one leading them was handsome and elegant, with long ears that touched his shoulders, wearing a pine-patterned robe and donning a Purple Sun Crown, exuding an air of an unrivaled virtuous Immortal.

Behind him rode four middle-aged Daoists on Exotic Beasts.

Each of their mounts was outstanding and divine.

Some looked like tigers with single horns on their heads, fierce and commanding; others resembled fierce lions with bulging eyes and saber-like teeth, presenting a fearsome visage...

Seven Daoists and two Dragon Clan members with horns on their heads followed behind.

This group was Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, along with a few disciples from Jie Sect he was close to, inviting the four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, members of the East Sea Dragon Clan and others to witness, forming an imposing procession as they arrived at the Penglai Holy Realm, ready to accuse Yu Yuan of conspiring against Lv Yue and others.

As the Penglai Holy Realm loomed in the distance, a tall figure riding a ferocious Exotic Beast hesitated and asked, "Long-eared Brother, are you truly certain that it was Yu Yuan who killed Lv Yue and the others?"

The Daoist who spoke had a jujube-like face, beaming with a reddish glow, a Square Ridges Mace hanging from his waist.

This man, named Li Xingba, along with his neighbors Wang Mo, Yang Sen, and Gao Youqian known as the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, shared a deep bond with those like Lv Yue.

When Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal sought them out, claiming he had found out Yu Yuan was the murderer and asking them to bear witness, they followed without much hesitation.

Now that they had arrived at the Penglai Holy Realm, they began to harbor doubts.

As elite second-generation disciples, they were fully aware of the old grievances between Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and Yu Yuan.

Though they sought vengeance for Lv Yue and the others, they did not wish to be used as pawns!

Aware of their concerns, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal reassured them with conviction: "The truth of this matter is undeniable. I did not summon you four to bear false witness; you only need to recount everything that was witnessed on the day Lv Yue and the others disappeared...

Don't tell me you are unwilling to help out with even this minor favor, given your familiar ties with Disciple Lv Yue?"

"We are naturally willing!"

Hearing Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal's unwavering words, the doubts of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island dissipated, as they promptly spurred their Exotic Beasts to continue forward.

In no time, they reached the Penglai Holy Realm, only to see a young Daoist standing atop a cliff by the sea.

With thick eyebrows and large eyes, his robust frame exuded a sculpted and angular presence, radiating boldness and vigor.

Dressed in a pale blue cloud-patterned Daoist robe, with his hair neither crowned nor tied, his thick curly locks casually draped, he did not appear unkempt but rather effortlessly elegant and unruly.

"Yu Yuan?!"

A sense of foreboding seized Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

Nonetheless, his face remained composed as he looked at Yu Yuan with a smile: "Nephew, are you waiting here for someone?"

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "The Patriarch has instructed me to manage the Investiture of the Gods, recording the names of disciples from our sect who voluntarily enlist... Your hasty arrival is for this purpose, right? Rest assured, there are plenty of spots; you won't be left out."

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, along with the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island and others, underwent a sudden change of expression, protesting loudly:

"We did not come for this purpose!"

"There's no such thing!"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

As they spoke, Yu Yuan had already unrolled the Investiture of the Gods list; with just a mere thought, twelve names astonishingly appeared on it.

Upon closer inspection, except for the two from the East Sea Dragon Clan, all of the others found their names enlisted!

"You... you've got some nerve!"

"We are, at the very least, with the bodies of Golden Immortals; how dare you put us on the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Remove our names immediately; we never said we wanted to be listed!"

"..."

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking annoyed at the crowd: "Not here to be enlisted? Why didn't you say so earlier? Where was this mention before?"

The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island: (▼ヘ▼#)

(〝▼皿▼)(▼へ▼メ)(▼皿▼#)

"Damn it, this kid is doing it on purpose!"

Overwhelmed with shock and anger, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal loudly reprimanded: "He's relying on the Investiture of the Gods to recklessly enlist us; we must capture him and take him to the Biyou Palace for the Sect Hierarch's judgment!"

With that, he was the first to wield an Immortal Sword and strike at Yu Yuan.

The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, in a flurry after being hurriedly enlisted on the Investiture of the Gods, followed Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal without a second thought, each launching an attack.

Li Xingba led the charge, swinging the Square Ridges Mace in his right hand at Yu Yuan, while a round ochre Jade Bead flew out from his left sleeve, carrying an immensely majestic Divine Power crashing towards Yu Yuan.

The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, having cultivated together for many years with a deep mutual understanding, urged their mounts to roar and rush forward, surrounding Yu Yuan from all sides.

Wang Mo flicked his sleeve, releasing a perfectly round Treasure Bead that hovered in the air, emitting billions of sharp rays.

The sharp rays sliced through rock and sea, turning them into myriad fragments, while countless black lines appeared in the sky, as if even the space were cleaved open.

At the same moment, Gao Youqian conjured a murky Treasure Bead that shot dazzling rays at Yu Yuan.

On another front, Yang Sen scattered a handful of golden beans.

The beans, upon release, swelled in the wind, quickly growing into golden-armored Divine figures, three meters tall, each wielding various weapons like a flood surging forward.

Faced with the onslaught from everyone, Yu Yuan responded with a smile as if waking from a dream: "I understand now, you've come... to kill me!"

With his words, an indistinct and misted Array Map was raised.

"Boom!"

Four towering figures emerged from the void, enveloping all directions.

The Azure Dragon, clad in emerald dragon scales, the White Tiger with fur gleaming silver, the Vermilion Bird with wings ablaze like flames, and the imposing Xuanwu.

The apparitions of the four Holy Venerables were imbued with the power of the Origin, instantly sealing off all four corners.

In just a moment, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and the four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, along with seven Jie Sect Immortals who had not yet acted, and himself, were all trapped within.

"You want to kill me, is that it? Come on then, the one who flees is a cowardly grandchild!"

...

Biyou Palace

After Yu Yuan left, Sect Hierarch Tongtian had the Boy of Water and Fire close the palace gates, while he retreated to a secluded valley.

The valley stream babbled softly, with bamboo rustling in the distance.

By the stream sat a towering figure in meditation, eyes slightly closed, bearing a resolute visage.

This person was none other than Duobao Taoist, who had been knocked unconscious by the Pangu Banner.

Currently, he was enveloped in Daoist charm, seemingly entering a profound and mysterious state.

Sect Hierarch Tongtian revealed a touch of gratification on his face, deciding not to disturb him; instead, he seated himself before a stone chessboard, lightly manipulating the chess pieces with a thoughtful look.

Though Saints can perceive past and future, they cannot claim omniscience.

Furthermore, with the great calamity approaching and Heavenly Mechanism thrown into chaos, the myriad futures he perceived were becoming increasingly blurred.

He too needed to divine the Heavenly Mechanism, deducing the future's course from what was known.

After an indeterminable amount of time, Duobao Taoist, who sat by the stream, abruptly opened his eyes.

A sharp, intense gleam flashed within.

Suddenly, the tranquil valley was split by a chasm about a yard wide, shooting straight up into the sky, stretching to the horizon until it vanished from sight...

At a glance, it seemed as though the sky had been torn in half like a painting.

Sect Hierarch Tongtian raised an eyebrow slightly, and the torn painting healed instantly.

He joked, "Who would have thought that a blow from the Pangu Banner would lead to your enlightenment... Had I known such good fortune would come, I should have let you take a few more hits."

"Master, don't jest at my expense."

Duobao Taoist spoke with a wry smile, "If I took a few more, I'm afraid I'd turn to ash on the spot... Oh right!"

As if something had occurred to him, he spoke with a hint of nervousness, "After my defeat, has the Investiture of the Gods returned to the control of the Chan Sect?"

Sect Hierarch Tongtian's eyebrows rose slightly, and he spoke with a tone of displeasure, "They even resorted to using Innate Treasures to fight for the Investiture of the Gods; how could I, as their teacher, allow them to succeed so easily?"

He briefly recounted what happened after Duobao fell unconscious.

Hearing that Yu Yuan, holding the Qingping Sword, frightened the Chan Sect into retreat, Duobao Taoist couldn't help but show a hint of relief, "It seems this nephew of mine may be a bit casual on usual days, but he can be relied upon at critical moments."

Sect Hierarch Tongtian nodded slightly, "I too find him reliable, so I entrusted the Investiture of the Gods to him for the time being..."

"Hm?"

Duobao Taoist paused, uncertain, "With his temperament, if you let him manage the Investiture of the Gods, aren't you afraid he might just send all those Jie Sect disciples who refuse to be listed straight onto it?"

Sect Hierarch Tongtian's gaze flickered, "He shouldn't... go that far, right?"

Duobao Taoist replied with irritation, "Don't forget, he has a history with this! He even wanted to send Ma Yuan to the Heavenly Court to become a God!"

Sect Hierarch Tongtian: "..."

He had indeed forgotten that detail.

Initially, he had no wish to meddle in the affairs of Divine Enthronement.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods was reclaimed, someone had to take responsibility for the follow-up, right?

Both Duobao and Zhao Gongming were wounded, Golden Spirit, Wudang, Gui Ling, and Yun Xiao were all devoted to their Cultivation, unwilling to be tainted by Red Dust...

The divisions among the other Outer Sect disciples were too complex; entrusting it to any of them would be biased.

So who would handle it?

Surely not him, the Sect Hierarch?

Hm, this Yu Yuan seemed quite suitable.

Being a direct descendant of the Inner Sect, his Dao Xing was sufficient to rival ordinary second-generation disciples, and his mind was sharp too!

Without him, the Investiture of the Gods would not have been seized.

With such intelligence and valor, ready to give his all for Jie Sect, he was indeed the perfect choice to manage the Investiture of the Gods!

Acting on this thought, he hastily handed the Investiture of the Gods to Yu Yuan, and even included the Purple Lightning Hammer with it.

However, after being reminded by Duobao Taoist, he recollected.

His disciple was not the benevolent kind!

Still, in front of his disciple Duobao, he naturally couldn't admit his forgetfulness.

So he laughed it off, "What do you know? By granting him control of the Investiture of the Gods and bestowing the Purple Lightning Hammer, he will handle his responsibilities with care. The concerns you have will not come to pass."

As he finished speaking, a premonition stirred within him, naturally sensing the arrival of Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and others at Penglai Holy Realm, then...

Sect Hierarch Tongtian's expression shifted subtly.

Filled with curiosity, Duobao Taoist inquired, "What has happened?"

The last thing Sect Hierarch Tongtian expected was that right after declaring, "The things you worry about will not happen," Yu Yuan went ahead and inscribed the names of Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and the others on the Investiture of the Gods.

Now faced with Duobao Taoist's question, he was at a loss for words.

Could he possibly reveal that:

He had been backstabbed by his own disciple, Yu Yuan?
