Master Yu Ding did not reply.
His eyelids were slightly lowered, and his face revealed no emotion whatsoever.
This near-death silence only fueled the nameless fire burning fiercely within Taiyi Zhenren.
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly stood up from the prayer mat.
The wide sleeves of the Taoist robe swung violently through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.
"Senior brother!"
"Say something!"
Taiyi Zhenren took a step closer.
With each word uttered, his voice rose uncontrollably by one point.
Whether Gu Xuan is Yang Jiao or not is none of my business, nor do I want to!
"This humble Taoist priest only knows—"
"Nezha, now at the Shang army camp!"
"you say--"
"What should I do now?"
The jade-pure celestial light that flowed smoothly along the stone walls inside the cave flickered and hummed uneasyly.
Master Yu Ding slowly raised his eyes.
After watching quietly for a moment, he asked softly.
"So, what does Junior Brother want to do?"
"Let's go down the mountain!"
Without hesitation, Master Taiyi uttered two words.
"I'll go and bring that little brat Nezha back right now!"
Before he could finish speaking...
They were already making a move to walk outside.
However, Master Yuding suddenly flicked his whisk.
A gentle yet insurmountable barrier of energy blocked Taiyi Zhenren's path.
"Bring it back, and then what?"
Taiyi Zhenren's steps suddenly faltered.
"Where is Yang Jian?"
Master Yuding calmly asked, "If you forcibly take Nezha away, what will happen to Yang Jian?"
Taiyi Zhenren opened his mouth.
"If you recklessly and forcibly take Nezha away, given Nezha's temperament..."
"He will only think that you, as his master, are forcing him to break ties with Yang Jian and to choose between his brothers and his sect."
"Yang Jian..."
"That is also true."
Master Yu Ding's voice remained calm and unhurried.
But with each word he uttered, Taiyi Zhenren's anger had to lessen by a fraction.
"The personalities of the three of them..."
"What do you think...?"
"Can it be taken apart?"
Taiyi Zhenren shuddered.
Nezha's stubborn and headstrong nature, which he was easily angered by, was something his master knew better than anyone else.
If he were to rush down the mountain now and, relying on his Golden Immortal cultivation, forcibly seize someone...
Taiyi Zhenren closed his eyes in despair.
The overwhelming anger in his chest turned into a deep sense of powerlessness.
"That……"
"Are we just going to stand by and watch...?"
Master Yu Ding remained silent.
There was a long, long silence.
He placed the whisk back on his lap, his gaze passing over Taiyi and landing on the stone wall of Jinguang Cave.
"wait."
Taiyi Zhenren suddenly looked up.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait until they need us."
Master Yu Ding's voice was extremely soft.
But every word exudes an unquestionable certainty.
"Yang Jian and Nezha are currently with Gu Xuan, and with Zhao Gongming protecting them, they are safe for the time being."
"If we rush down now, we won't save anyone; we'll only make things worse."
"The bigger the commotion, the bigger the consequences, including within the sect and the Heavenly Court..."
When the words "Heavenly Court" are mentioned.
The tone of Master Yu Ding finally showed an extremely subtle change.
Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed slightly.
Yang Jiao was executed by imperial decree personally issued by the Emperor.
If the Heavenly Court knew that Yang Jiao had been reincarnated...
Taiyi Zhenren's expression kept changing.
After a moment, he slowly sat back down on the futon.
"Senior brother..."
Taiyi Zhenren's voice became subdued.
"one way or another……"
"Nezha cannot be included in the Investiture of the Gods."
When those words were spoken.
His gaze toward Master Yuding was exceptionally firm.
Master Yu Ding looked at him for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Even Yang Jian couldn't."
The two sat facing each other in silence.
After a long time.
Master Taiyi exhaled a long breath of turbid air, preparing to close his eyes and rest.
However, at this very moment...
"Buzz—"
Outside the Golden Light Cave.
The layers upon layers of the Jade Purity Array suddenly emitted a tremor and a buzzing sound.
Someone came from the outside...
The great formation has been broken?!
Taiyi Zhenren suddenly opened his eyes, which shone brightly.
At the same instant, the whisk that Master Yuding had been holding horizontally also stood up.
The two suddenly turned their heads and looked at the cave entrance as if facing a formidable enemy.
A surge of magical power, far exceeding that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, silently seeped into the cave like a rising tide.
"Da, da, da..."
Slow, steady footsteps approached.
then......
The light at the cave entrance suddenly dimmed for a moment.
A figure in a simple gray robe stepped into the Golden Light Cave at a leisurely pace.
Half a step behind the gray-robed figure was Yun Zhongzi, who was wearing a blue Taoist robe.
When Taiyi Zhenren saw the person's face clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Randeng... Uncle-Master."
Although Master Yuding did not immediately rise to greet him, he nodded slightly to show his respect.
"Uncle-Master."
The Taoist Ran Deng stood still.
He neither sat down nor spoke.
He glanced at Taiyi Zhenren, then at Yuding Zhenren, who remained as immovable as a mountain.
His gaze was as gentle as that of a kind elder who occasionally passed by and stopped by to visit the younger generation.
A brief silence fell over the cave.
After a moment, the lamp slowly opened its mouth.
"I have already read the messages from Li Jing and Jiang Ziya."
His voice was not loud, and his tone could even be described as gentle and calm.
"The matter of Xiqi, Yu Ding, Taiyi."
"Both of your disciples are currently in the Great Shang Vanguard Camp."
Taiyi Zhenren's body was taut almost imperceptibly.
Master Yu Ding lowered his eyes, remaining as still as a mountain.
Randeng did not mention why Yang Jian would betray Xiqi.
It didn't mention why Nezha left with them.
He paused briefly, his tone calm.
Then, he continued.
"I have come here not to demand an explanation."
"You two are both among the Twelve Golden Immortals of my Chan Sect, and are direct disciples of our master."
"You should settle your own affairs regarding your disciples."
Taiyi Zhenren slightly raised his head, a swift and wary glint flashing in his eyes.
"but……"
The sound of the lamp suddenly softened.
"Gu Xuan".
He calmly uttered a name.
It's as if they're talking about something trivial that has nothing to do with them.
"It is Yang Jiao, reincarnated."
"boom!"
Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed slightly.
Master Yu Ding, whose fingers had been steadily manipulating the whisk, stopped at this moment.
Ran Deng smiled at the subtle reactions of the two people, but said nothing more.
They simply waited quietly in place for a moment.
Until the atmosphere inside the cave gradually eased.
He spoke again, his voice gentle.
"Yang Jian and Nezha."
"Although it has already entered commercial operation..."
"But they both have an indelible bond of master-disciple relationship with both of you."
Ran Deng's eyes flickered slightly.
"This time, it involves the karma of countless eons..."
"Concluded".
Taiyi Zhenren shuddered and abruptly raised his head!
The karmic consequences of countless eons have been resolved!
This is a very simple sentence.
It sounds like a statement of objective facts.
But in reality—
It was a warning to them.
Their disciples had already entered the calamity and shielded them from the disaster!
"so--"
"You two, before this great calamity ends..."
Ran Deng slowly raised his eyelids.
His gaze swept over Taiyi and Yuding with a gentle yet authoritative intensity.
"Then don't go down the mountain on your own again."
Her voice was as light as a falling leaf, as gentle as a spring breeze.
Taiyi Zhenren's lips trembled slightly.
An overwhelming surge of anger rose within his chest.
He slowly lowered his head.
I dare not look into the eyes of the lamp.
Right hand....
Silently, he placed the magic weapon beside his knee.
Master Yu Ding glanced at it keenly.
He slowly lowered the whisk that had been standing upright in his hand back to rest horizontally on his lap.
I closed my eyes, as if entering a meditative state.
Seeing this, Ran Deng didn't look at the two of them again.
He slowly turned around and calmly gave an order to Yun Zhongzi, who was standing behind him like a still pond.
"My nephew, Ming Qingxu."
"He will bring his disciple Huang Tianhua with him to descend the mountain and rush to the aid of Xiqi."
Yun Zhongzi clasped his hands in a deep fist salute and accepted the order.
A flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, gone in an instant.
Ran Deng strode confidently toward the cave entrance.
The wide hem of the gray robe brushed gently against the rough stone surface, making a rustling sound.
The moment I stepped out of the cave—
His right hand moved slightly within the wide sleeves of his robe.
A decree, shimmering with golden divine light, flew out silently from his sleeve.
Then...
Lift your five fingers slightly.
"boom--"
Outside the Golden Light Cave.
The mountain-protecting array, layer upon layer, was resealed by another magical power far surpassing that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
……
Above the nine heavens, the Lingxiao Palace stands.
A ray of golden light pierced through the layers of heavenly palaces and landed outside the main hall.
The golden light dissipated, transforming into a decree with a faint golden luster.
"The Chan School?"
A majestic, low murmur echoed softly within the hall.
A moment later.
A slender, fair hand slowly emerged from the deepest part of the palace.
Then...
On the large, cold imperial desk, the golden imperial edict was slowly unfurled.
