Chapter 72: Chapter 72 The Assistance of the Jie Sect
Heavenly Immortals were nothing remarkable in Yu Yuan’s eyes; Golden Turtle Island was teeming with them.
But how long had Nezha even been cultivating?
Could it be that this Nezha was some powerful being reincarnated?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yu Yuan ultimately agreed.
Nezha enveloped Xinye with the Mountain and River Map to defend against the insect people, while Deng Chanyu and the others, including Jinzha and Muzha who had been summoned, collectively channeled their mana to maintain it.
The two then rode the clouds toward the East Sea’s Golden Turtle Island.
Along the way, Nezha casually asked Yu Yuan about the various customs and etiquette of Golden Turtle Island.
Yu Yuan scratched his head and asked in return, "Are there even customs and etiquette to observe on Golden Turtle Island?"
Nezha immediately fell silent.
With Yu Yuan, a Golden Immortal, piloting their clouds, the two traveled at a fairly swift pace. Upon arriving at Golden Turtle Island, Yu Yuan shed his previously lackluster demeanor and eagerly went on to introduce this and that around them.
Golden Turtle Island truly lived up to its grandeur. The Tongtian Sect Master had gathered the majority of the East Sea’s spiritual energy to concentrate it on Golden Turtle Island, making it an unparalleled blessed land in the Primordial realm, outclassing even Lishan.
Though it was still no match for the ancestral Kunlun Mountain (humorous).
When Yu Yuan brought Nezha to Biyou Palace, all of the four major disciples of the Inner Sect—Duobao, Wudang, Jin Ling, and Gui Ling—the four major Outer Sect disciples—Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming—and the Seven Attendant Immortals, along with many other disciples residing on the island, had gathered together.
Nezha was unaware that his reputation, having accompanied Human King Yin Shou, had already created a minor stir on Golden Turtle Island. After meeting Saint Tongtian, Nezha saluted, saying, "Li Nezha, disciple of Lady Nuwa, greets Saint Tongtian, my martial uncle."
Compared with Yuanshi Tianzun, the Tongtian Sect Master exuded a far more approachable air.
Scanning Nezha briefly, the Tongtian Sect Master didn’t bother to deduce what was going on.
Casually, he remarked, "You little brat, weren’t you tough as nails before? What’s this—running to my Biyou Palace to throw down the gauntlet now?"
Among the crowd, the four main disciples only had Jin Ling Saint Mother glance at Nezha a few more times due to Yu Yuan’s presence; the others remained expressionless, their thoughts inscrutable.
Yunxiao maintained her composed expression, while Qiong Xiao and Bixiao—"No Brainer" and "Unhappy"—clustered together, pointing at Nezha and laughing in whispers.
The Seven Attendant Immortals bared their teeth one by one, glaring at Nezha with hostility.
Though Nezha was not particularly adept at the art of smooth-talking, his skill outshone that of many Primordial beings: "This disciple’s mana is trifling, so of course, I dare not act recklessly. However, I recently encountered Daoist Lv Yue, who had discarded his Shangqing magic power to join the demonic Outer Dao under Pan Hu. Pan Hu has been enticing saint disciples, prompting Lv Yue to kill a saint’s personal disciple—an offense utterly deserving of death."
Standing beside him, Yu Yuan nodded fervently, endorsing everything Nezha said while even revealing the wound on his chest.
Before the Tongtian Sect Master could respond, the main disciples of both the Inner and Outer Sects immediately knelt in unison, exclaiming, "Master, grant us leave to kill Pan Hu and uphold the dignity of our Jie Sect!"
The Seven Attendant Immortals promptly knelt in formation behind them.
Following them, over a thousand immortals, brimming with battle intent, roared, "To kill Pan Hu! Long live our master’s eternal glory!"
Witnessing this scene, Nezha felt a surge of emotion. He had often heard tales of the grand assembly of the Ten Thousand Immortals, but witnessing it firsthand, he now truly grasped its overwhelming majesty.
The disciples’ fervor brought visible delight to the Tongtian Sect Master. In truth, he didn’t overly concern himself with matters of defection; after all, the Jie Sect had far too many disciples for him to keep track of.
However, for Lv Yue to kill Yu Hua and grievously wound Yu Yuan—that was an entirely different matter of significance.
After some deliberation, he said, "A mere Pan Hu hardly warrants mobilizing our entire sect. Jin Ling, Zhao Gongming, as my direct disciples, the two of you shall go forth to slay Pan Hu and apprehend Lv Yue."
The golden-robed Jin Ling, whose elegant face carried a steely determination, and the sturdy, honest-faced Zhao Gongming both responded in unison: "Disciple obeys!"
The two first exited Biyou Palace on foot. Zhao Gongming summoned a black tiger, while Jin Ling Saint Mother conjured a Seven Fragrance Car, harnessed with seven small golden pigs at its front.
Nezha gazed curiously at the pigs, mainly thinking they looked delicious.
Jin Ling Saint Mother handed an elixir to Yu Yuan first, then entered the Seven Fragrance Car herself. Yu Yuan immediately downed the elixir before pulling Nezha into the car alongside him.
Inside the Seven Fragrance Car, Nezha curiously examined the setup, noting that apart from its ornate decorations, it bore an uncanny resemblance to the one Bo Yikao had once presented.
As a Quasi-Saint who had severed one of her own corpses, Jin Ling Saint Mother’s speed was unparalleled. Nezha felt as though only a few hours passed before they reached Nantang’s Xinye.
Outside of Xinye City, which was currently enveloped by the Mountain and River Map, the area was completely surrounded by insect people.
Zhao Gongming wasted no time, saying, "Watch me."
He activated his Shangqing magic power, causing the boundless gusts of wind between heaven and earth to transform into invisible blades that began sweeping through the insect people below.
The tough bodies of the insect people were soundlessly sliced by the inexorable winds, falling in waves like wheat before an autumn breeze.
Insectified Lv Yue was no fool; he immediately stirred the wings hidden beneath his carapace, transforming into a shadow as he fled toward the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Nezha stopped Jin Ling Saint Mother, who was prepared to summon the Four Symbols Tower, and said, "Senior Sister Jin Ling, let’s pursue Pan Hu!"
Jin Ling nodded and transformed into golden light, giving chase. Nezha retrieved the Mountain and River Map, and the trio swiftly followed.
In mere moments, several beams of light pierced into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Lv Yue weaved and spiraled until he finally plunged headlong into a smooth mountain wall. After a ripple resembling that of water passed over its surface, he vanished.
Fearless thanks to her superior skills, Jin Ling charged in after him, followed immediately by Zhao Gongming.
Nezha glanced at Yu Yuan and said, "Martial nephew, you’re still injured. How about staying here to ensure that scoundrel Lv Yue doesn’t escape?"
Yu Yuan, not one to act tough, nodded in agreement.
After finishing, Nezha also entered. After a spatial shift, he found himself in a small world.
His boldness stemmed not only from having two powerful allies but also from his determination to personally end Lv Yue’s life.
This unfamiliar small world bore a resemblance to the Pangu Realm, with its lush and dense forests. After searching for a long time, Nezha finally spotted a village.
As for Jin Ling Saint Mother and Zhao Gongming, there was no trace of them to be found.
Draped in the Mountain and River Map, Nezha entered the village. The myriad villagers, all naked, possessed insectoid features that made them look grotesque and menacing.
Nezha’s arrival immediately drew the attention of all the "villagers," their forest-green eyes gleaming with the greed of encountering a perfect prey.
Nezha’s face twisted in disgust, but to conserve his mana and divine skills for the upcoming battle with Lv Yue, he chose instead to summon his Bright Silver Spear.
The villagers dropped all pretense, emitting eerie insect chirps as they swarmed toward Nezha.
With maxed-out combat power and wielding divine weaponry, Nezha dispatched these mindless monsters with ease, slicing through them like chopping melons and cutting vegetables. However, the sheer number of insect people was overwhelming.
While Nezha’s battle raged on, Jin Ling Saint Mother finally encountered the true culprit—Pan Hu, the dog-headed demon.
