Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Your Son is Too Fierce

People love to share, don’t they? Even Saints like to keep their disciples by their side. One reason is to make it easier for disciples to learn, and the other is... well, even Saints fear loneliness.

Saint Tongtian even created the Seven Attendant Immortals, didn’t he? They’re basically there to keep him entertained during idle times.

Even the Daoist Ancestor, before achieving Harmonization, had two children enlightened to act as gatekeepers!

When Yun Zhongzi made armor for Yang Ren, he’d often share stories he’d heard from Nezha, along with some of his own conjectures. It was his way of fulfilling a teacher’s duty.

Who would’ve thought that Yang Ren would end up like this—completely immersed in it.

Actually, this was all due to Yang Ren’s intense obsession with the Purple Ribbon Immortal Armor. After being human for so many years, his aesthetic preferences had solidified, and he utterly despised his own appearance.

But would he dare tell Yun Zhongzi?

Having armor that was not only usable but also immensely powerful was enough. If he protested, was he rejecting Yun Zhongzi’s taste? It’s his choice—use it or leave it!

However, once he got the Immortal Armor, everything changed. He was left with only one thought: "I am truly handsome!"

The face he once felt ashamed of now filled him with pride, and perhaps it was this surge of confidence, combined with the devastating injuries to his Divine Soul and brain, that led to his current state.

"Teacher, you must help me get back the Armor Summoner!"

Without outsiders present, Yang Ren resembled a child who had been wronged, kneeling and clinging to Yun Zhongzi’s leg.

Yun Zhongzi couldn’t help feeling a bit soft-hearted, so he comforted him, saying, "Foolish child. Your senior brother Yang Jian has already gone to request assistance from your two senior uncles. They will surely retrieve your armor for you."

"Thank you, Teacher."

...

Over at Old Jiang’s side, while waiting for reinforcements, he wrote a letter to Huang Feihu. An old friend’s son had encountered issues under his command; it was only proper to inform him.

The letter’s gist was something like: "Your son is a bit reckless. I tried assigning him safe tasks, but he insisted on charging forward, and before even entering battle, he ended up on the ground. But don’t worry; we’ve already sent for senior brothers to join the effort. He’ll recover in a while."

Since the last incident involving the Insect People, Nantang’s expansion had come to a halt. The losses had been substantial, so the kingdom decided to focus on recuperation, with its main efforts directed toward infrastructure development.

With Nezha absent, they used his old blueprints to copy designs—an effort that ended up resembling the original pretty well.

As for Huang Feihu, he was busy overseeing the construction of a new city, a job he was quite familiar with.

Receiving the letter, he didn’t dare show it to his wife or elderly father. While he had since fathered a few more sons, the one who had been away from home during childhood remained their most cherished—such love was only natural.

So Huang Feihu deliberated and ultimately decided to consult Deng Chanyu.

After finishing the letter, Deng Chanyu reassured him, saying, "The letter mentions that Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, Chan Sect’s Immortals, will arrive soon to assist. I’ve heard from Nezha that Guang Chengzi is the top disciple of the Chan Sect, with cultivation far beyond Nezha’s. King Wu Cheng can rest assured; your son will be fine."

The person Huang Feihu trusted most was Nezha, but he couldn’t believe anything about someone surpassing Nezha’s mana by countless measures. Still, Deng Chanyu’s words did ease his anxiety.

Sending Huang Feihu off, Deng Chanyu turned and communicated with King Ji. The two discussed things for a while and decided to have Nantang merchants spread news along their trade routes about the current situation on the frontlines.

Upon hearing of the intense battles between West Zhou and Yin Shang armies, the people of Nantang cherished their current peace even more.

Meanwhile, many from West Zhou, upon learning of the dire state of the war, fled to Nantang, contributing significantly to Nantang’s population growth.

Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa could only chuckle bitterly at the situation. After all, they were still relying on Nantang to buy grain at the moment.

Jiang Ziya waited for a long time until Yang Jian arrived with Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi at the battlefield.

Seeing the duo so composed, Jiang Ziya felt a sudden surge of confidence and immediately stepped forward to salute: "Ziya greets the two senior brothers."

Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi looked calm on the surface, but their hearts were far from tranquil.

As Yuanshi Tianzun’s most cherished disciples, their magical treasures were nothing short of the best. In terms of cultivation, Guang Chengzi was still a small step behind Jie Sect’s top disciples; he was currently at the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak. However, with the Sky Flipping Seal, even an ordinary Quasi-Saint couldn’t intimidate him.

As the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, Guang Chengzi seemed to have a particular fondness for imperial descendants, giving his most treasured magical artifacts to Yin Jiao. Following his lead, Chi Jingzi did the same.

But both disciples were eventually turned against them, and Guang Chengzi always regarded the Chan Sect as his family. Their betrayal hurt him deeply.

The next day, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong came again to challenge them, only to spot their master standing atop the city wall.

The two instinctively dismounted and saluted.

True investment of heart always leads to pain, and now Guang Chengzi was furious. "Yin Jiao, I took you as a disciple and taught you Yuxu Immortal Techniques. I gifted you magical treasures and an Immortal Mountain to assist Zhou in conquering Yin Shang. How dare you defy my orders?"

Chi Jingzi chimed in, "Senior brother is absolutely right!"

Convinced they were not in the wrong, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong stubbornly argued back: "My brother and I are members of the Yin Shang imperial family. While Master has treated us fairly, how could we wage war against our father?"

Certainly, there was merit in their reasoning, but Chan Sect Immortals tended to be quite indifferent toward familial bonds. This was evident from the time Huang Feihu sought his child, when Daode Tianzun spoke at Yuxu Palace.

To Guang Chengzi, Chan Sect was family—what was bloodline worth?

Initially, he considered sparing Yin Jiao and Yin Hong by having them surrender, doling out some punishment to put the situation to rest. But Yin Jiao’s stubbornness changed his mind.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, Shen Gongbao had long since fled the scene.

The Yin brothers exchanged glances, bowed their heads slightly, and declared, "Master, the battlefield spares no one. Though we are on opposing sides, if we cross paths, do not blame your disciples for being discourteous!"

This sent Guang Chengzi into a fury. A pair of treacherous disciples, and now they dared to threaten their master?

Jiang Ziya hurried to mediate: "Senior brother, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong are still young. It’s understandable they’ve been led astray. Why not bring them back and educate them properly?"

At this moment, Old Jiang still wished to protect Yin Hong and Yin Jiao.

Guang Chengzi neither refused nor agreed; he simply nodded lightly.

Jiang Ziya sighed internally and asked, "Senior brother, do you have a way to deal with those two?"

Guang Chengzi replied, "My Sky Flipping Seal is forged from fragments of the Divine Mountain Buzhou, refined personally by our teacher. Even though Yin Jiao’s mana remains shallow, the sheer weight of the Seal alone could injure common immortals upon impact—or obliterate them outright.

However, Ziya, lend me your Yellow Banner."

Magical treasures are only truly effective in the right hands. Jiang Ziya, wielding the Yellow Banner, struggled even against Wang Mo’s Heavenly Creation Pearl. With Guang Chengzi holding it, however, he could take on someone as formidable as Jin Ling Saint Mother.

It’s not as if he needed the Yellow Banner to deal with the brothers; it was just a matter of saving face.

Guang Chengzi received the Central Wujixing Yellow Flag. As his immense mana poured into it, a yellowish glow enveloped him. Riding his cloud, he soared toward Yin Jiao and Yin Hong.

The brothers were shocked. Yin Jiao hesitated, while Yin Hong immediately took out the Yin Yang Mirror and aimed it at Guang Chengzi.
