Chapter 402: Chapter 399: Gatekeeper Grandpa Wang, Beating the Drowning Dog

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Countless piercingly shrill screams tore through the night sky.

Originally, the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" had been deceived by the "Incense Seal" made from the Red Dust Qi of the Six Desires, making it treat this group of evil demons as allies.

Now that the essence of the Six Desires Red Dust Qi had changed, they could no longer hide.

It was only a matter of a few short breaths.

The surrounding "Dragon Energy," which had been fully mobilized by the Great Fate, had become unbearably hot oil to them.

And the entire closed-off "One Day Prison Heavenly Array" had turned into a gigantic frying pan.

The ladder was withdrawn, with no escape for anyone!

Some mages who took the lead in charging forward using their Escape Light were the first to suffer, barely entering the range of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival before bursting into intense flames.

Those who reacted a little slower, unable to promptly regather their mana, immediately screamed in agony as they plunged from the sky like burning fireballs, crashing heavily to the ground.

No matter how mysterious your Daoist skills or how many divine skills you command, within this scorching "oil pan," they are all utterly meaningless.

The mana of the Yellow Seal Mage, a fusion of "Heavenly Spirit Qi" and "Earth Spirit Qi," was formidable and responsive, churning with infinite power.

Yet, it was at complete odds with the "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

This was like pouring hot water into boiling oil, instantly causing sparks to fly everywhere, with loud popping sounds.

Those who realized the situation was bad and did not use their Daoist skills didn’t fare much better.

The oppressive "Dragon Qi Prohibition" bore down on them like the overwhelming Taishan, dramatically reducing the power they could wield.

And with the Dragon Energy pervading every nook and cranny, these people all twisted their faces in pain, with sizzling sounds emitting from their bodies as wafts of blue smoke rose.

One could tell at a glance that they wouldn’t last much longer.

What is a feast without wine or meat?

These evil demons, whose bodies began to emit a burnt fragrance, just so happened to provide a delectable dish for this "Banquet of Hongmen."

"Sect Master Marshal, think of something quickly!"

"Without a moment to spare, my entire Northern No-Life Dao will lose its essence, and the grand undertaking of the White Sun Era will be completely ruined!"

"..."

Master Red Lotus’s face was extremely grim at this point, enduring the ongoing burning sensation inside and outside his body, glaring furiously at the equally contorted Fanglin Master:

"Taoist Fellow Fanglin! What on earth is going on?! The Red Dust Qi of the Six Desires is fundamental to your sect’s Daoist skills, we still have a binding Dharma Contract, so how could this problem arise?!"

If not for seeing that the disciples of No-Life Dao, and even the powerful Spider Demon, were suffering heavy casualties and on the brink of collapse just like his own disciples,

And that the stringent Dharma Contract had not been triggered,

Master Red Lotus would have thought that "No-Life Dao of the Six Desires" had actually defected to the "Nine Soldiers,"

Intentionally mixing with his own side, all for the sake of turning against them at this moment to wipe out the No-Life Dao in one fell swoop.

In fact, the "Red Spider Lily Blooming Skill" that Wang Yuan planted into the Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella over a month ago had already taken root and sprouted.

The reason it hadn’t detonated earlier

Was precisely because it was waiting for such an eagerly anticipated "geographical advantage," to blow them up in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if these demons could escape without restriction,

Once they escaped the confines of Yunjing City, they might only end up with minor injuries, recuperate for a few years, and be back to committing evils.

For if you do not eradicate the root when cutting grass, the spring breeze will bring it back to life.

"I... this..."

Fanglin Master’s originally bewitching face turned a shade of green and then white, filled with bitterness and having nowhere to vent.

Facing Master Red Lotus’s interrogation, all he wanted to do was to howl in frustration:

You may have lost at most two thousand lives, but what we’ve lost is the Taoist Inheritance Artifact that serves as our sect’s foundation!

Feeling the presence in the "Earth Department Taoism" within the Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella, which had formed due to the completion of its Daoist powers,

Beyond the familiar Daoist Skills of Six Desires Red Dust Dao, there were many Dharma Sects that help one understand the bridge to the other side, San Tu.

In Fanglin Master’s mind, involuntarily sprung the last near-death experience of being dragged into "Heart Punishment Hell."

Gradually realizing how the Immortal Officer of the "Nine Soldiers" who walked the Ghost Path had silently infiltrated his "Dharma Domain: Silk Cave,"

And stealthily placed a horrifying time bomb inside.

It was too late for regrets, though.

Sizzle sizzle...

At this moment, the hand holding the umbrella handle was already charred black, emitting a tempting scent of roasted meat.

It was obvious that the umbrella had just entered Old Wang’s house and had instantly turned its back, forgetting its old creator in the blink of an eye.

Even with great reluctance, for the sake of survival, Fanglin Master had to painfully sever all connections with the Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella,

Throwing the Taoist Inheritance Artifact, into which so much time, effort, resources, and even lives had been invested, far away.

Yet she could not help but curse through gritted teeth:

"Sly villain! One day, I will suck you dry and turn you into a mummified corpse to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Although this catastrophe was not as calamitous as when "All Appearances Dao" with the "All Appearances Treasure Mirror" turned into a demon, leading the entire Taoist Sect to succumb to the transformation,

The severity of the slaughter was even greater.

In just a few sentences’ time, there were more lumps of pitch-black charred remains on the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Master Red Lotus knew that blaming Fanglin Master would be pointless, so with no other choice, he ordered:

"Magicians, retreat into the ’Three Yang Small Realm,’ let the Three Yang Soldiers form up around the ’Military Leader’ and deploy the Ten Thousand Enemies Skill, continue the slaughter mission!"

"Protecting the Old Buddha is protecting ourselves!"

The [Divine Transformation] Mage’s [Dharma Domain] is born from and reliant on Dharma Light, appearing and disappearing at will, not a complete independent space, thus naturally unable to block the "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

However, the Green Seal Sage’s [Inner Scene Heaven and Earth] is a world unto itself.

As long as they don’t open the gates again or rely on lesser realms to use Taoist Skills, it should be enough for them, the Magicians, to hold on for a long time against the "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

At this time, their only hope could be placed on the remaining [Three Yang Soldiers] and those former Great Yan [Daoist Soldiers] under the command of the Martial Saint Zhou Xinglou.

Once the decision was made, Master Red Lotus immediately led a charge in the opposite direction.

And then...

Bang!

He vehemently slammed into the light circle of the [Three Yang Small Realm], seeing stars from the impact.

The gate had been quietly closed by someone unknown!

In this moment, Master Red Lotus had no time for anger and quickly shouted:

"Quickly open the gate for this Sect Master!"

The light circle was just about to ripple.

But the detestable voice they had just heard once again rang out in the ears of the Evil Spirits:

"I said no!"

Upon this command, the gate immediately fell silent once more.

"What’s going on?"

Behind him, Qing Yezi, Yu Jiezi, and all the other Demons and Heretics, now nearly driven to madness, came up and roared in unison:

"Three Yang Small Realm, open the gate quickly!"

"No, no, it won’t open!"

If we talk about ownership of the [Three Yang Small Realm], Wang Yuan certainly cannot compare with them.

He also had no way to use astonishing Taoist Skills like the [One Day Prison Heavenly Array] with the aid of the [Three Yang Small Realm].

But...

Wang Yuan’s strategy was quite simple.

"Relying on my highest priority privileges, I only ask to be... a gatekeeper Grandpa Wang, that should be fine, right?

Since I can’t use the functions inside, let’s just have no one use them at all."

At this time, No-Life Buddha, who was being suppressed and beaten by the Great Fate in the sky, no longer had the energy to care about the life and death of these servants and reserve food.

What’s more tragic is that while Wang Yuan could afford to wait, those Demons and Heretics absolutely could not.

With every breath, disciples of the "No-Life Dao" and the "Six Desires Red Dust Dao" howled in agony as they turned to charred ash.

Only Su Guyun, who had taken precautions, was unhurt thanks to his [Pure Yang Avatar], and seeing the situation spiral out of control, he immediately frowned and quietly moved to the back of the crowd.

Taking advantage of his unaware peers, he slapped his confidant Zhu Bo’an and brought him into his own [Lotus Court].

This was the second Inner Realm aside from the [Three Yang Small Realm] in the hands of the No-Life Dao.

He then weaved through the chaotic crowd rapidly.

Gathering up those Sect disciples of various branches whose loyalty to the "No-Life Dao" wasn’t strong, but who possessed excellent potential, bringing them all into his folds.

In theory, although the space within this [Lotus Court] was far from that of the [Three Yang Small Realm], it could still accommodate a few thousand people without a problem.

But Su Guyun knew well the danger of possessing something valuable and that if he dared to stand out and save all Disciples and Sect followers of the Northern "No-Life Dao,"

he would not only fail to earn their gratitude but would immediately attract the attention of the higher-ups, and in an instant, lethal disaster could befall him.

This is the rule of survival in a Sect.

Better to stay quiet and amass a fortune than to play the hero.

Watching for a moment, the thousands of Magicians were reduced to less than half by the "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

The rest were teetering on the brink of death, not far from dying. Master Red Lotus, with his breath already weakened to half of what it was at the start, had crimson eyes and hysterically roared:

"Come out! If you small folks of the Nine Soldiers have the guts, come out and fight!"

As soon as his voice fell.

Flutter...

A large swarm of silvery-gray butterflies emerged from the Dream Realm, lifting a red paper umbrella abandoned on the ground like the wind.

Bringing it into the delicate hand of Huang Wu.

A little female Ghost, dressed in a splendid bridal gown, looked utterly content as she sat inside the large palanquin, fondling the [Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella].

The gold-trimmed red umbrella, the crimson bridal gown, the Taoist Inheritance Artifact complemented Huang Wu’s style so perfectly, as if tailor-made for her.

"What a wonderful treasure, such a wonderful treasure. Since you don’t want it, I’ll begrudgingly accept it with thanks, auntie!"

The stunningly beautiful Huang Wu smiled sweetly at the Fanglin Master, who was so furious that she vomited blood three times consecutively.

Behind her, a row of [Immortal Officials] stood shoulder to shoulder, chuckling eerily with arms folded.

A dazzling [Merit Golden Wheel] unfurled behind each of their heads, combining into a radiant light that shone for a hundred yards.

This [Merit Golden Wheel] unified with Heaven and Man had been recognized by the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" and was flawless, lacking the weakness of the [Six Desires Red Dust Qi].

The Immortal Officials were experts at adjusting their sails to the wind.

Seeing that the "mobile merits" were already gravely injured,

it was the perfect time to kick someone while they were down.
