Chapter 97: The Mosquito Daoist Wants to Overthrow the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: The Mosquito Daoist Wants to Overthrow the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

Nezha’s reasonable speculation immediately pinned the blame on Mosquito Daoist, leaving no room for defense.

At the same time, reinforcements were sourced.

The Western Sect must send people, as their disciples claimed to be beguiled—are you not going to prove it?

The Chan Sect must send people; your disciples were intercepted—are you staying silent?

The Human Sect must send people; Saint Taiqing, as a Mystic Sect master, are you pretending not to see such a significant matter?

The Jie Sect must send people because you’ve got to show you’re not in league with Mosquito Daoist!

Nuwa’s side goes without saying; Nezha was involved throughout the whole matter. Besides, Nuwa’s lineage was already sparse, so outsiders weren’t needed.

The matter’s reach was broad, and even the Four Saints, upon slight calculation, expressed astonishment. Whether Mosquito Daoist was truly a demon was ambiguous; if it was debatable, then it meant he was.

Everyone involuntarily turned to Nuwa. "Not your disciple, yet they can stir up this much trouble?"

Nuwa calmly waved her hand. "Our lineage naturally has a kind heart; we cannot bear even the smallest disorder in the Primordial realm."

Nezha, on his side, regained the title of Demon Suppressing Grand Marshal. This time, he deployed ’ten thousand troops’ to exterminate the Primordial species, Blood-winged Black Mosquito.

Gold Star Taibai acted as an envoy to various sects, and even Lord Lao Tzu personally stepped in, providing numerous Golden Elixir Divine Medicines for the Heavenly Soldiers.

Nezha’s camp worked tirelessly, preparing for the "Mosquito Extermination Assembly."

Mosquito Daoist, meanwhile, traveled to the Blood Sea. Having originated from the Blood Sea himself and being an old acquaintance of the Ancestor of Nether River, he now laughed heartily at the Ancestor’s pitiful state.

Unaware that his employer, the Western Sect, had already betrayed him, branding him as the chief culprit of this incident.

Even more oblivious to the fact that he had already fallen into demonhood!

Furthermore, he had become the largest malevolent force in the Primordial realm, seeking to overthrow the Heavenly Dao!

The summoned Mystic Sect Immortals, however, had only one thought: Mosquito Daoist is just too cool!

Mosquito Daoist mocked the Ancestor of Nether River for a while. The Ancestor found himself helpless; divided equally with Nether River Mother in everything, he ironically now lagged behind this old neighbor in cultivation.

With no alternative, the Ancestor stewed in his frustration, while Mosquito Daoist returned to the far reaches of the Blood Sea, where mountains shrouded in blood-red light marked the stronghold of Primordial mosquitoes.

...

Though Nezha had brought nearly the entire Mystic Sect on board, the Heavenly Court was officially the main force. Regarding mosquito eradication, Nezha thought of only two methods: fire, or biological pest control.

The Primordial realm emphasized mutual reinforcement and counteraction. No matter how strong a Centipede Spirit might be, it quivered before Brother Chicken. The best means to deal with mosquitoes were Spider Demons.

Nezha urgently contacted Bai Ze, his recent ally: "Old Brother, I’ve got another ten thousand slots available, need them?"

Bai Ze gritted his teeth: "I’ll take them!"

"Any brilliant ideas for handling mosquitoes, Old Brother?"

"Plenty."

Nezha, fully prepared, specifically employed his specialty skills to construct a Sealing Demon Platform.

The platform was circular, divided into five equal sections, each engraved with relief patterns representing various factions. Despite being in one location, each section showcased distinct styles, adorned with exquisite reliefs denoting identities.

This time, summoning the Mystic Sect to labor for free left little room for actual compensation. To maintain enthusiasm, however, appearances had to be grand.

The Human Sect’s section resembled a lightly rotating Eight Diagram, dynamically evolving.

The Chan Sect’s section featured a silver Ancient Banner, emitting sharp gray beams and swirling ceaselessly.

The Jie Sect’s section showcased four ancient treasured swords, hovering and interweaving, releasing a sea of crisscrossing Sword Qi.

The Western Sect’s section boasted a golden lotus blossoming with radiances of gentle golden light.

As for his master’s section, it displayed a relief version of the Mountain and River Map. Naturally, Nezha poured extra care into this, ensuring immaculate details.

At the platform’s center, Hao Tian personally inscribed the character "Heaven." Feeling this matter was meaningful, Hao Tian added a ceremonial touch.

The first to arrive were the Jie Sect disciples, led by Inner Sect Senior Brother Duobao Daoist; accompanying him were Gui Ling Saint Mother, Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and a thousand Jie Sect Immortals.

Had it not been for Duobao and Sanxiao’s presence, others might have mistaken them for demons invading the Heavenly Court!

Nevertheless, their cultivation levels were high, leaving Hao Tian notably envious.

The next arrivals were from the Chan Sect. While Qingxu Dao De Venerate was confined, he was substituted by Yun Zhongzi, leading the Twelve Golden Immortals, alongside a gaunt-faced Daoist, Randeng.

Compared to the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect appeared far less populous; yet Randeng, as a guest of Zixiao Palace, held enough sway not to be overshadowed by the Jie Sect.

The third arrival was the Western Sect, journeying from the furthest distance. As the instigator of the matter, the Western Sect dispatched their elites to resolve it thoroughly—figures like Dashizhi, Maitreya, Fantian, Pharmacist, and many other renowned Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from later eras were present.

Observing the gathering, Nezha donned his Mountain and River Map regalia and found his rightful place.

This was clearly to show deference to Saint Taiqing; having learned Divine Skills from him, Nezha naturally remembered Saint Taiqing’s kindness.

Sure enough, as Nezha took his place, the heavens revealed flowing Yin Yang Dao operations, followed by the appearance of Eight Diagram symbols. Emerging from them was an exceptionally unassuming young man—Great Master Xuan Du, the Mystic Sect’s Third Generation Head Disciple.

"Jie Sect disciples, greetings to Senior Brother Xuan Du!"

"Chan Sect disciples, greetings to Senior Brother Xuan Du!"

"Western Sect disciples, greetings to Senior Brother Xuan Du!"

"Li Nezha, greetings to Senior Brother Xuan Du!"

This was Xuan Du’s prestige.

"Xuan Du greets all junior brothers."

After speaking, Xuan Du turned to Nezha. "For this Demon Extermination Assembly, initiated by Junior Brother Nezha, we all shall follow his command."

Xuan Du, being a reclusive figure for millennia, was genuinely reluctant to act. Yet, considering the havoc caused by demons, he simply had no choice.

Before leaving, he puzzledly asked his master: "Is there truly a demon here?"

Mosquito Daoist, as a formidable Primordial being, was undeniably strong—but branding him a demon seemed a stretch.

Saint Taiqing did not answer his disciple’s query, merely pointing to the heavens.

In Taiqing’s view, his disciple had been cooped up cultivating at home for so long it had dulled his intellect. Was it really that important?

"This matter was initiated by your Junior Brother Nezha. He shares ties with our Human Sect; use this chance to connect with him more closely."

"Your disciple obeys the master’s command!"

Thus, Xuan Du brought along the Tai Chi Diagram and Xuanhuang Tower.

His earlier statement handed command authority to Nezha, expressing his disinterest in assuming leadership.

Nezha understood and promptly thanked Xuan Du.

He then stepped boldly into the center and declared: "Fellow senior and junior brothers, Mosquito Daoist first beguiled Western Sect disciples, then intercepted our Mystic Sect disciples—he unquestionably has fallen to Demon Dao, scheming to overthrow the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

We, as disciples of Saints, bear the duty to protect the Primordial realm. We must eradicate this demonic figure and restore peace to the Holy Spirit of the Primordial world!

Demon extermination and defending the Dao begin today!"

In truth, some Jie Sect Immortals normally didn’t do much good, yet they dared not declare themselves demons—for fear of courting disaster!

Now, they hastily echoed Nezha: "Demon extermination and defending the Dao begin today!"

"Demon extermination and defending the Dao begin today!"
