Chapter 73 The Grief-Stricken Beginning
At this moment, Taiqing and Tongtian could understand why Yuanshi reacted so strongly, after all, it was the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure, extremely precious.
If we hand it over, it would be like cutting flesh from Yuanshi's body.
Taiqing and Tongtian stood together in front of Yuanshi, the three brothers staring at Lingxiao with resentment on their faces.
He thought that by becoming Hongjun's disciple and obtaining a powerful treasure, he could finally avenge his previous humiliation.
However, reality is harsh...
Zhunti scratched his head and said with a smile, "Yuanshi, since my elder brother is giving you face, you should accept it."
"I will silently count to ten. If you do not hand it over with both hands within ten breaths, I will kill you and still take the Pangu Banner."
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhunti's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his entire body exuded immense pressure as he stepped through the air toward Yuanshi.
The Three Pure Ones were startled to see that Zhunti had summoned his golden body, with numerous innate spiritual treasures floating around him from all directions.
The Three Pure Ones were filled with rage and their eyes were filled with humiliation!
They had never suffered such humiliation before.
Back in the East Sea, they transformed into three children, but few people saw them.
But now, in the eyes of many powerful beings, the Three Pure Ones are being threatened like cats and dogs.
In an instant, the faces of the Three Pure Ones shattered like a mirror...
Jieyin remained calm and slowly said, "Third brother, do not harbor any murderous thoughts. Know that in this world, sins are subject to reincarnation, and cause and effect are retributive!"
In his view, since Ling Xiao did not actively destroy the Three Pure Ones, there must be a reason.
The Three Pure Ones have already been defeated. If Zhunti is allowed to continue his attacks on the Three Pure Ones, it may disrupt Lingxiao's plans.
The goal is to obtain the Pangu Banner. Wouldn't it be better if it could be obtained without killing anyone?
Jieyin prepared to use his eloquence to persuade the Three Pure Ones.
Zhunti was taken aback, turned to look at Jieyin, and said, "Brother, you've finally set your sights on a treasure. Even if my hands are stained with blood and I'm burdened with karma, I will still take it from you."
Yuanshi trembled and stepped back.
Taiqing and Tongtian were like fully drawn bows, their eyes blazing with murderous intent.
Is it really a matter of mutual destruction?
At this moment, Zhunti swooped down towards the Three Pure Ones, wielding his blessed pestle, intending to kill Yuanshi with a single blow.
Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly dilated, and he vanished from his spot, teleporting to Zhunti's side.
Immediately, he reached out a hand, grabbed Zhunti's shoulder, and pulled him back.
Once the two had regained their footing, Ling Xiao felt a surge of heat in his chest. His tone was rebuking, "Reckless! If those Three Pure Ones had gone all out, you'd be a corpse by now!"
Zhunti hung his head, like a schoolboy being punished and unable to move, and said, "Brother, don't be angry. It's my fault for making you worry."
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, then reached out a hand and gently patted his cheek, laughing, "If you're going to help me, don't cause me trouble."
Zhunti laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly.
Ling Xiao turned around, looked down at the Three Pure Ones, and said, "The losers should be prepared to face the consequences. Hand over the Pangu Banner, and I will spare your lives."
As Lu Xun once said, if you want to open a window in a dark room, no one will agree, but if you say you want to tear down the roof, they will agree to open a window.
The Pangu Banner was not Ling Xiao's goal at all, even though he desperately wanted it.
However, this innate treasure was bestowed upon Yuanshi by Hongjun as a supreme treasure to protect the sect.
The treasure that Yuanshi used to suppress the future destiny of the Chan Sect is of paramount importance.
If Ling Xiao forcibly takes it away, he will inevitably offend Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
As a result, he incurred the wrath of these two men.
Ling Xiao's current strength is far from enough to offend Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
However, it would be too lenient to let Yuanshi go so easily without any benefit.
Ling Xiao could guess the outcome of this matter.
If Hongjun had not appeared to stop him, Yuanshi would have inevitably settled for second best and compensated with a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Jieyin looked at the Three Pure Ones and said with a gentle smile, "Fellow Daoists, the Pangu Banner is destined to be with my elder brother. Don't harbor any illusions, hand it over quickly."
Ran Deng looked at the three Lingxiao brothers in the sky, then glanced at the three Qing brothers who looked like wilted eggplants, and thought to himself, "Damn it! I've chosen the wrong side!"
He was filled with remorse, thinking to himself that he must have been blind to have befriended the Three Pure Ones.
Seeing the complex emotions in Randeng's eyes, Yuanshi was extremely frustrated. He had finally managed to recruit a subordinate, but before he could even show off, he had made such a fool of himself.
They were completely dominated and humiliated by the three Ling brothers.
That would probably make him appear insignificant in the eyes of the lamp-bearer!
At this moment, Yuanshi was furious and embarrassed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and wisps of white smoke rose from the top of his head.
"No! We will never give you the Pangu Banner. At worst, we'll all die together. If we, the Three Pure Ones, self-destruct, can we kill you?"
Yuanshi's eyes turned bloodshot, and he was so enraged that he roared and questioned the three Lingxiao brothers.
This matter concerns his reputation, and he absolutely cannot allow his younger brother, Randeng, to look down on him.
Besides, the sky is now filled with innate deities, all focused on me!
If I back down like this, how will I ever face anyone again...?
After hearing what he said, Taiqing and Tongtian both looked at Yuanshi with strange expressions.
no……
Yuanshi, you wanted to self-destruct, so why did you drag the two of us down with you?
As members of the Three Pure Ones, even in death, we must be reunited as a family, right...?
Yuanshi raised his head, sneering repeatedly, and glanced sideways at Lingxiao, saying, "However, it hasn't reached the point of self-destruction yet, because this place is located behind Zixiao Palace, within the Dao Ancestor's domain. We, the Three Pure Ones, are disciples of the Dao Ancestor. If I were to lose even a single hair, our master would surely grind you all to dust!"
Zhunti glanced in the direction of Zixiao Palace, then narrowed his eyes, threw his head back and let out a burst of wild laughter, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Look at you, so aggressive. You think you're the only disciple of the Dao Ancestor? My second brother and I are too."
"I have only one evaluation of my master!"
"Personal interests may be fleeting, but public-spirited actions last forever!"
Zhunti's face was filled with solemn respect as he said, "Master renounced personal desires and merged with the Dao for the sake of all living beings in the primordial world. Such a respectable person, even though my second brother and I are only nominal disciples, would he ever treat us differently?"
"Yuanshi, what kind of person do you take our master for? You deserve to die!"
In the distance, within the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's wrinkled face slowly relaxed, and a hint of relief flashed in his bright eyes.
This child can talk!
Especially in front of three thousand saints, he lavishly praised his noble character.
The Primordial Beginning?
snort!
This guy likes to provoke others all the time, but he deserves to suffer a bit.
Jieyin sneered and said, "Yuanshi, let alone the fact that our master wouldn't treat us differently, do you know that it's noon now? Our master is definitely taking a nap. Why would he pay attention to us?"
"Master takes three naps during the afternoon."
He sleeps in the morning, sleeps at noon, and sleeps again in the afternoon.
"Only one person doesn't sleep. It's the middle of the night, and everyone else is asleep, but he doesn't."
Why? Because he is kind!
