Chapter 335 The Gathering of Three Sides
Chen Jizhen was burning with anger, which made him bow his body and breath heavily. He clenched the streamer with both hands, staring at Li Ye motionlessly. It was as if he would turn into a wolf the next instant, rush to bite Li Ye and crush him.
As cultivators of the Immortal Court, they used suppression as a means to deal with the demon clan. They should have won when they took out the Magic Treasure of the Immortal Court. However, Huang Jingyuan was hurt, which prevented them from exerting their combat power at all. So, in the end, they could not do anything about Li Ye.
This was a great insult to Chen Jizhen because he not only lost face, but also the power and majesty of the Immortal Court.
The two sides hadn’t known each other for long, but Chen Jizhen’s hatred for Li Ye flowed rapidly like the water of the Yellow River. He wouldn’t have hated him so much, even if Li Ye schemed to hurt Huang Jingyuan, leaving them in a situation where they could not win.
He was annoyed however, he hated Li Ye because of fear. Li Ye’s achievement of enlightenment has reached such a level that he had comprehended the Way of Emperor. He could now pose a real threat to them. No, not could, it had already happened.
The mortal whom he previously regarded as an ant not worth mentioning suddenly had the ability to threaten him face to face. Li Ye could seriously wound him, put him in a dilemma! This irritated and shamed Chen Jizhen.
The shame and anger did not just stem from his fear of Li Ye, but also self-hatred.
He hated his own incompetence.
He hated himself for not being able to kill Li Ye immediately.
Chen Jizhen knew very well what kind of combat power Li Ye would possess if he fully comprehended the Way of Emperor one day. It would definitely not be what he was willing to face. Because he couldn’t face it at all.
This would be trouble for the Entire Immortal Court.
Li Ye’s sword attack from earlier had already revealed power that could hurt them.
To think that a cultivator of the Mortal Realm could hurt a Great Power of the Sky Immortal Realm, it was just like a maggot could hurt an elephant. It was just inconceivable.
But it did happen.
The hatred in Chen Jizhen’s heart had risen sky high.
The hatred and helplessness made Chen Jizhen angry and furious. The flow of Spiritual Qi around his body was frantic and chaotic, almost out of control.
Chen Jizhen hesitated whether he wanted to give up his own life to end Li Ye.
If he didn’t do so, he would not be able to maintain his own dignity and that of the Immortal Court.
Li Ye ignored Chen Jizhen, he looked at Huang Jingyuan instead. In his eyes, Huang Jingyuan was much more interesting than Chen Jizhen. Because at this moment, Huang Jingyuan, although his eyes were not friendly, did not have a strong hatred, it was more complicated. This showed that Huang Jingyuan considered more things, and that was very important, at least for now. For example, Buddhist monks.
Li Ye smiled and said, “You two have come afar to assassinate me. Why don’t you do it now?”
Faced with Li Ye’s unkind sarcasm, Chen Jizhen yelled in a low voice, and he almost wanted to risk his own life and killed Li Ye. But he was grabbed by Huang Jingyuan.
Huang Jingyuan was still staring at Li Ye, but by this time, the hatred in his eyes had almost been replaced by fear. He added in a deep voice, “We might not be able to kill you right now, but it’s also impossible for you to hold us!”
Li Ye nodded, “You two are indeed sent by the Immortal Court. You are powerful.”
Huang Jingyuan gritted his teeth. “If we didn’t fall into your trap upon first meeting, You’d be dead by now!”
Li Ye laughed and said, “Suppositions have no practical significance except to give yourself an excuse for being incompetent and make yourself feel better.”
Huang Jingyuan added angrily, “Li Ye! You talk without leaving any leeway for yourself. Do you not think I will fight to the death with you?”
Li Ye replied, “You won’t.”
Huang Jingyuan added, “You!” He flung his sleeves hard, and added scornfully, “I thought you were a man of wisdom and courage. But you are nothing but a short-sighted man that only talks big. You can’t see how this will affect the long term plan! ”
Li Ye added indifferently, “If you fight to the death with me, it will cause destruction to both sides. The Buddhist monks will reap the profits. But you dare not do so. You descend to the world in order to support Zhu Wen to take the world. If you kill me, you’d let the Buddhists take the benefits. Where would the Taoist sect of the Immortal Court go if Buddhism ruled the world? ”
Huang Jingyuan added word by word, “That has nothing to do with you, because you would already be dead!”
Li Ye glanced at Huang Jingyuan. “I’ll count to three. If you don’t leave, then you won’t be able to leave today.”
Huang Jingyuan froze for a moment, and then couldn’t help but rage. “Li Ye, you have crossed the line!”
Li Ye, “One.”
Huang Jingyuan’s face was ghastly pale.
Li Ye, “Two.”
Chen Jizhen growled.
Li Ye, “Three.”
He raised his Luke Sword again.
Huang Jingyuan grabbed Chen Jizhen and turned away. “Li Ye, you are ruthless! You just wait, wait for us to recover, and it will be your last day!”
Li Ye added leisurely, “People of the Immortal Court seem to have no other skills other than bragging.”
Huang Jingyuan was so angry that he shook his body and vanished.
The Holy Child came to Li Ye and looked at Huang Jingyuan’s back. He then added with hesitation, “These two have been badly hurt, and thus could not exert their means to deal with the demons. We can’t defeat them now in their current state. When they recover, we won’t be able to deal with them at all. And if the seventy-two Earth Devils appear at the same time and launch the seventy-two barrier of Earth Devils, which will be even more difficult to deal with!”
Li Ye had been closely watching the movements in the south. This time, he took the initiative to set an ambush, but the effect was still not as he expected.
Li Ye said slowly, “Jiuzhou does indeed belong to the Immortal Court. Even if they did not send any powerful Daluo Golden Immortals down to the mortal world, just the ones they arbitrarily chose were strong enough to have absolute winning odds.”
The Holy Child opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end. The meaning of Li Ye’s words was very clear. Why didn’t the demon clan send people with real strength? For example, the Six Great Sages.
Were there any other reasons aside from enraging the Immortal Court?
Of course there were.
As Chen Jizhen said, did the demon clan really think that they could deal with the Immortal Court by forming an alliance with a common mortal like Li Ye?
The demon clan’s evaluation of the possibility of this matter was, if the full score was ten, at most two or three.
Their evaluation determined the amount of support. Much like high-risk investments.
Li Ye didn’t blame the demon clan, he was already very satisfied that they could help him.
But the current situation was not very optimistic.
Just as Li Ye was thinking about how to deal with the cultivators of the Immortal Court, and how he would handle the Immortal Court cultivators, something weird was happening.
Suddenly, several streams of golden lights appeared from the northern sky. The first one was pure white, and in an instant, it traveled thousands of feet away ahead of Li Ye and others. Just when Li Ye and others were on guard attentively, they didn’t linger and charged ahead.
Li Ye’s eyelids felt heavy.
Of course he recognized that the first white light was Feihong Bodhisattva. These were masters of the Sky Immortal Realm from Land Buddhism. The fact that they left Taiyuan City suddenly but did not come towards Li Ye meant that they were headed toward Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen.
Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen represented the Taoist sect of the Immortal Court, naturally they were the archenemy of Buddhism. In addition, Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan’s strength were even higher than the cultivators of demon clan. And they were the stumbling block for the Buddhist monks who wanted to snatch the Tao of Heaven away from the Taoists. Now Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan were seriously hurt, naturally, it was the best opportunity to attack.
Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan had not gone far.
Li Ye then ordered in a low voice, “Follow them!”
In any case, the two-party duel would sooner or later become a three-party dogfight, and any two parties were deadly enemies. So it would be a battle to the death sooner or later. Now Li Ye naturally had no reason to stay out of the matter.
After they set off, dozens of golden lights came from the northern sky. They were Buddhist monks of the Ground Immortal Realm and Spiritual Master Realm. Not only that, the cultivators of the demon clan in the camp outside Taiyuan City, including masters of Spiritual Master Realm under Li Ye’s command, Nangong Diyi, Su Emei and others also flew in.
Lights on both sides successively converged under the sky to form a dragon and flew parallel to the south.
Li Ye stopped.
The Holy Child and others also stopped.
The followers also stopped one after the other on the left and right sides.
Up ahead, Feihong Bodhisattva had caught up with Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan. Not only caught up them, but also intercepted them. The two sides were facing off. To say it was confrontation was inaccurate. Confrontation was only to Feihong Bodhisattva, but to Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen, it was sheer oppression.
Feihong Bodhisattva stood in front of the two with her hands clasped behind his back. At this moment, she looked peaceful, majestic and dignified, which was much different from her previous casual and unrestrained image. Her long hair and white robes were rippling in the breeze, which made her immortal image shine.
Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan looked stern and solemn. Their magic weapons were clasped tightly in hand ready to launch a full blow any moment, even fight to the death.
Huang Jingyuan looked at Feihong Bodhisattva, and added in a complex tone, “I didn’t expect that the Land Buddhism actually sent Feihong Bodhisattva to personally come to Taiyuan City just for the stream of heaven-mystery.”
Feihong Bodhisattva opened her mouth slowly, her tone was calm and gentle as though she were reading. “Buddhism is bound to get this stream of heavenly-mystery.”
Huang Jingyuan’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly added, “We’re supposed to retreat if Feihong Bodhisattva is here in person. But seeing Bodhisattva’s status, it seems that your injury has yet to heal?”
Feihong Bodhisattva replied lightly, “Even so, dealing with you at this time is no problem.”
Li Ye carefully looked at Feihong Bodhisattva, his eyes showed weirdness and complication, but he kept silent all along.
The Son of God, You Daxiao, who just arrived with a strange snort, he shouted, “During the time between when we broke through Qinzhou and then came to the city of Taiyuan was supposed to be enough for the Feihong Bodhisattva’s injury to heal. But Why does it seem that at this time, although her injury has improved, her strength is incomparable with the past. There is still a considerable gap from her supposed heyday?”
Everyone could not understand, only Su Emei opened her mouth. “At the end of the day, Jiuzhou belongs to the Immortal Court Taoist sect. How could the immortals of Land Buddhism not be suppressed here? Even if the Immortal Court cannot send Daluo Golden Immortal down, there are ways to immobilize the opponent’s Daluo Golden Immortals.”
After hearing these words, everyone was suddenly enlightened.
The Immortal Court would not pay special attention to the people under the Daluo Golden Immortal. But wherever the Daluo Golden Immortal was placed, it would break the balance of one side, and naturally it should pay more attention to such people. It was not surprising that the Immortal Court had the means to limit the Daluo Golden Immortal of Land Buddhism’s ability to move in Jiuzhou.
The Son of God, You Daxiao sneered. “The Immortal Court might not be able to do much else. Their control over their own territory is fantastic.”
His tone was clearly sarcastic. Mocking the fact that the Immortal Court was helpless when facing the attack of other immortals. But when it came to dealing with the demon clan and Buddhist immortals of the mortal world, they were full of ideas.
Li Ye added indifferently, “The Immortal Court’s priority for maintaining rule is above all else. As for how the people live under the rule and whether they are strong enough or not, are only a secondary demand. This Immortal Court’s method makes a lot of sense.”
Nangong Diyi argued indifferently, “Even if Feihong Bodhisattva’s cultivation is suppressed by the Immortal Court’s deep magic, Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan will not be able to leave this time.”
The Holy Child interjected. “It is naturally a great satisfaction if these two died, but what’s next? Look at Feihong Bodhisattva, I can’t stop her!”
Li Ye glanced at him. “Isn’t your True-fire of Samadhi working?”
