A large number of Jiejiao immortals did not dare to linger for long. They collected all the scattered remains and burned them into ashes. There was no way to retrieve the ashes, so they had to pick up the remaining bodies, weapons, broken magical treasures, and lingering divine pills.
They fled in disarray into the East Sea.
Gao Yan, Huang Zhen, and these leaders were quietly discussing among themselves. "Not avenging this grudge is not the way of a gentleman," they said, but it was clear that they could not defeat the Li family father and son. This matter still needed to be handled by Jie Jiao. Gao Yan and Huang Zhen were contemplating what kind of leverage they could bring forth to get those senior brothers with high cultivation from Jie Jiao to help them.
That one shout of "Friend, please stay a moment" was particularly sudden.
Gao Yan at the front of the queue wasn't quite sure he heard right. He saw his brothers behind him stop without reason, so he also stopped following suit.
Gao Yan flew to the back and asked, "What's the matter? What happened? Is it you?"
Shen Gong Bao smiled and bowed to him.
Gao Yan knew the bottom line of Shen Gong Bao. At this moment, he drew out his sword with great courage: "You, the dog of Xuan Jiao sect, have what face to stand in front of my master? Hurry up and get out! Be careful that my sword is without mercy!"
His credibility has been utterly shattered by the Li family father and son. A great battle has revealed his true capabilities to everyone. This individual only has a mouth, along with a bit of speed in his escape, and no other abilities. Now, the many Jie Jiao immortals who shout "brother" from their lips no longer trust him.
Gao Yan put in great effort, always keeping his spiritual awareness on the other immortals. Unfortunately, he found that their eyes no longer held the respect they had previously shown towards him.
Shen Gong Bao's expression showed some confusion: "I have exchanged blows with many of the brothers for tens of years, and today why are you talking to me with evil words?"
Gao Yan and many immortals of the Jie Jiao sect were too ashamed to say that they had been chased and flee in disarray by Jin Za, Mu Za, these two third-generation disciples of the Xuan Jiao sect, and their accomplices.
Shen Gong Bao understood people's feelings well: "Is there anything inconvenient? Just look at yourselves."
He carefully sized them up for a few moments: "It seems that you all have been poisoned by fire. This poison has invaded your marrow, tearing at your lungs and intestines. If you do not remove it in time, there may be some inconveniences in the future."
There's no need for future concerns. At this moment, the Jie Jiao immortals felt an overwhelming itch all over their bodies, as if there were hundreds of worms gnawing at their internal organs.
Deng Chanyu's full force strike is no simple matter. The main purpose is to shield Li Jing's retreat, and the effect of killing enemies is also present.
Her solar true fire contains a kind of fire toxin called "Thousand Flames Silk" from the ancient Phoenix race. This poison was originally used to deal with the Qilin race. Now she has not yet mastered it, but it is enough to deal with a group of earth immortals and heaven immortals.
If she were to use this move herself, she could send away these one hundred and two brothers of hers in an instant.
Gao Yan also felt that his body was very painful, and at this point, he had to lower his head to admit defeat: "Do you have any good solutions to help my brothers? Please be clear, we are very grateful!"
Shen Gong Bao looked at him somewhat unhappily: "Just a friend of the Taoist?"
Gao Yan is capable of bending and stretching, his smile bitter: "Brother Shen, do not laugh at your elder brother. I have truly lost my composure."
Shen Gong Bao pointed in a direction: "When I followed my senior brother Xuan Zhi to the East in those days, I also once fell victim to this poison. You brothers can go to a nameless deserted island two thousand miles to the south, where there is a clear spring. I'm sure it can help you all remove your fire toxins."
"Brother Shen's great kindness and generosity, we will never forget!"
"Take care, all of you. I must take my leave."
Shen Gong Bao rode the cloud away. At this moment, the fire toxins on Gao Yan and the others became increasingly severe. Some of them had already begun to cough up blood.
Some trusted Shen Gong Bao, while others did not. After much consideration, Gao Yan decided to believe in Shen Gong Bao's past goodwill and friendly demeanor towards the Jie Jiao sect. He convinced the other immortals to go to the southern island to find the spring that could cure their fire toxins.
The journey was smooth, and they quickly found the nameless desert island that Shen Gong Bao had mentioned. However, the spring that was said to be able to cure the fire toxin had not yet been found.
Gao Yan seems to have regained his usual demeanor and began issuing orders.
"Li brothers, you go and check to the west."
"Lu brother, you have rich experience, take these few with you to the south."
The Jie Jiao immortal referred to as "Lu brother" frowned.
He said, "Brother, take a look around, does it seem a bit unusual?"
If this tone of questioning had been used in the past, Gao Yan would have been angry. At this time, he also knew that his prestige had declined, so he did not show anger and instead looked around seriously.
He also possessed the realm of Tianxian, though it was achieved by accumulating vast amounts of spiritual materials, his basic insight was still present.
Is there anything around here?
The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the sea is calm, and the island is desolate. The waves on the sea are undisturbed, and there are no signs of life on the island. What could be wrong?
He asked tentatively: "Brother's implication is what?"
The Daoist who asked him directly pointed at the top of his head: "Brother, are you not aware? The sun star is missing."
If the sun star has disappeared, shouldn't the area around us be pitch black? But where is the light coming from now?
Gao Yan was about to laugh at his younger brother for lacking insight. He subconsciously looked up and was also dazed, where's the sun?!
Looking around again, he wondered where the light was coming from.
Huang Zhen came to him and said urgently, "Brother, we seem to have fallen into some sort of array!"
Gao Yan mumbled to himself: "Array? Who dare use an array against us in the East Sea?"
Huang Zhen was so angry he wanted to strike him. We still have the bodies of over thirty brothers, and they're still warm! You think no one would dare to lay hands on us? There's no such thing as coincidence in this world! It must be Shen Gong Bao playing tricks on us!
He no longer cared about the once influential elder brother, waving his hand: "Come with me. This array isn't particularly skillful, but it must be Shen Gong Bao playing tricks on us in secret. This fellow is hiding in the shadows, and we can kill him easily."
The Jie Jiao immortals looked at the flustered Gao Yan, and then at the resolute Huang Zhen. They made their choice in unison.
Seventy Jie Jiao immortals, none missing, followed Huang Zhen one after another to search for the center of the array, leaving only Gao Yan alone at the original location.
"Why? Why?"
"You dare to betray me?!"
"I am the elder brother! Have I not been taking care of you all all this time? To do such a dog-eat-dog thing is truly ungrateful!"
Gao Yan stood alone, cursing into the air.
Cursing and cursing, he suddenly noticed that his hands were shaking involuntarily. He turned back in surprise and found a middle-aged Taoist standing behind him with a square face, three long beards hanging from his chin, wearing a deep blue Taoist robe.
"Who are you, friend?" Gao Yan looked at the Taoist closely, who made no attempt to conceal himself. His body was brimming with the bright, radiant power of Yuqing (Jade Clarity) cultivation.
The cultivation level of the Jie Jiao was truly high and low. Gao Yan and Huang Zhen were among those of the lower level.
The disciples of the Xuan Jiao sect were mostly on a similar level. They weren't high, and they weren't too low either.
Right now, standing before Gao Yan was an immortal from the Xuan Jiao sect, whose cultivation level was undoubtedly profound and mysterious.
"Dao Xing Tian Zun? You are the Daoist Tao Xing Zun from the Xuan Jiao sect?!" Gao Yan was shocked out of his wits. Dao Xing Tian Zun, who had been trapped in the Blood River Array and had also taken away Yun Xiao's Huan Yuan Golden Tripod, was very well-known in the Jie Jiao sect, but not for good fame. Rather, he was a topic of conversation among people after meals.
Now that this well-known figure was standing before him, Gao Yan felt as if his liver and gallbladder were splitting in two. This Daoist was indeed a genuine Jindian (Golden Immortal)!
