Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 142 Zhao Gongming Arrives in Xiqi

After a brief struggle, Nezha gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

Why was Nezha no match for Wen Zhong?

But it was all thanks to Taiyi's divine intervention.

If Nezha hadn't had his bones shaved and flesh restored, with his ability to transform into a spiritual treasure, he would naturally have been able to fight Wen Zhong to a standstill.

However, in order to free Nezha from his identity as a child born in the Nuwa Palace, Taiyi plotted against Nezha and made him do this.

As a result, Nezha's original essence was greatly damaged, and he had no time to recuperate properly, so Taiyi threw him into the Great Tribulation.

Seeing that he was no match for Nezha, Nezha rolled his eyes.

He then unleashed a burst of Samadhi True Fire at Wen Zhong.

Upon seeing the Samadhi True Fire, Wen Zhong dared not resist it head-on.

He immediately slapped the black Qilin, and the black Qilin understood and quickly retreated behind it.

Seeing this, Nezha also retreated a long distance.

As soon as the distance between them increased, Nezha shouted, "You old scoundrel!"

"I didn't eat enough today, I'll come back and fight you after I get home and eat my fill!"

After saying this, Nezha headed straight for the city wall.

Back on the city wall, Nezha lowered his head and said to Jiang Ziya, "Uncle-Master!"

"This disciple is no match for that old scoundrel."

Jiang Ziya did not blame him upon hearing this.

It's normal to lose.

Although Nezha failed to defeat Wen Zhong in this battle, he at least managed to stabilize the morale of Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya then nodded and said, "This is not your fault!"

"And hang up the truce sign, while I go to Kunlun Mountain to seek reinforcements."

When Xiqi put up a truce sign, Wen Zhong naturally knew their intentions.

When they sought help, they naturally invited monks from the Chan Sect.

Those seasoned repairmen are not someone he can handle.

Wen Zhong then ordered his generals to hang up the truce sign, while he himself went to invite the Jie Sect cultivators to help him.

soon.

Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong each brought their own reinforcements.

After some probing, the cunning and shrewd Ran Deng prevailed.

They utterly destroyed the Ten Deadly Formations of the Jie Sect, killing several disciples and capturing Zhao Jiang, who was then hung on the city wall.

Just when Wen Zhong was at his wit's end, Zhao Gongming arrived.

They came riding a black tiger and stepping on auspicious clouds.

Upon arriving at the main tent and learning about the current situation, Zhao Gongming was immediately furious.

The Chan sect is really shameless!

We are all cultivators of the Xuanmen sect, yet you hang people on the city wall.

What does this mean?

Zhao Gongming then said, "Nephew Wen, please sit for a moment while I go and meet those Chan Sect cultivators."

Look at how much progress they've made in these past few years!

After saying this, Zhao Gongming rode the black tiger to the city of Xiqi.

After glancing at Zhao Jiang, who was hanging from the city wall, Zhao Gongming shouted, "Jiang Ziya, come out and see me!"

However, Zhao Gongming was unaware of this.

The person most delighted by his arrival was Randeng.

Even Wen Zhong probably wasn't as happy as him.

After longing for this for so long, my wish is finally about to come true.

Once we have the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, we can just coast along and wait for the great calamity to end.

Then he ran away to the Western religion, and from then on he no longer had to put up with the arrogance of those clever bastards from the Chan religion.

However, despite thinking this in his heart, Ran Deng did not show it on his face at all.

They simply waited quietly for Jiang Ziya's response.

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Jiang Ziya was also somewhat uncertain.

This guy dared to come and challenge us alone right when the Ten Deadly Formations were about to break.

They're probably not exactly weaklings.

Without understanding the situation, we cannot rashly engage in battle.

Jiang Ziya then asked, "And who is this person?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ziya's question, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect all turned grim.

But it was because of what happened back in the Kunlun Mountains.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were often defeated by Zhao Gongming, who relied on the Dinghai Divine Pearl, and were completely routed.

Now that this guy has arrived, even if that fellow hasn't improved much, it's not a good thing.

After all, they themselves haven't made much progress.

Seeing the twelve Golden Immortals all silent, Jiang Ziya became a little anxious.

You're the ones facing calamity, so why are you still pretending to be so wise?

I'm just a runner-up.

Row!

Since none of you are in a hurry, why should I be?

Jiang Ziya then simply closed his eyes and decided not to bother with the matter anymore.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Randeng finally spoke up: "That Zhao Gongming is the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect."

He held twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his hand.

This treasure is truly extraordinary.

With this treasure in hand, even I, a humble Taoist, must proceed with caution.

At this point, Randeng stopped talking.

Next, we'll discuss Zhao Gongming's current cultivation level.

If the Twelve Golden Immortals knew that Zhao Gongming was now a Great Luo Golden Immortal...

Do they still dare to fight?

If they dare not fight, then my plan will not be perfect.

Who would come out and immediately step forward to snatch the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?

That's too goal-oriented.

This will be very detrimental to his future as a lamp-lighter.

Thinking of this, Ran Deng said, "Let's go out and meet him!"

Hiding isn't a solution.

hide?

How could he possibly hide while lighting the lamp?

If he keeps hiding, how will he get his hands on the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?

The Twelve Golden Immortals could only nod in agreement upon hearing Ran Deng's words.

Hiding like this won't work.

Fortunately, there's a backup plan, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Then the Twelve Golden Immortals followed Randeng and Jiang Ziya.

Guangchengzi!

You are also disciples of the Xuanmen sect, and each of you will rely on your own abilities during this great eon.

Life and death are determined by fate; this is the natural order of things.

But what is the meaning of you hanging Zhao Jiang on the city wall?

Is it because they are dissatisfied with my Jie Sect?

Or is it dissatisfaction with the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)?

As soon as Zhao Gongming said this, Guang Chengzi immediately sensed something was wrong.

Dissatisfaction with the Jie Sect?

This is certainly true, and there's nothing to hide.

However, if one is dissatisfied with the Taoist sect, then one cannot bear the blame.

He wanted to say that this was none of his business.

It was all done by the lamp-lighting machine.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back.

Now beset by calamities, we must rely on the help of the lamp.

If we bring out the lamp now, will it help them later?

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Ran Deng naturally realized that the situation was not good.

Betrayal of the Chan Sect?

At least there are the two Western Saints who can withstand the pressure from the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

However, if they are dissatisfied with the Xuanmen sect, then the matter will be beyond what the two Western Saints can handle.

Even if they could withstand it, the price they would have to pay would be so high that even selling his lamp wouldn't be enough to repay the karmic debt.

Thinking of this, Ran Deng quickly said, "Zhao Gongming!"

Stop talking nonsense!

The Shang dynasty was doomed to perish, and Xiqi replaced the Zhou dynasty.

This is the destiny ordained by Heaven!

These ten cultivators, ignorant of destiny, insisted on aiding and abetting the wicked; they deserved this calamity.

I advise you to return to the temple as soon as possible.

Do not rely on spiritual treasures, lest you defy the will of Heaven and fall into calamity.

Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!

Upon hearing Ran Deng's words, Zhao Gongming's anger flared up.

Number of days?

If a quasi-saint were to come, that thing would certainly have the right to say such a thing.

But how much do you actually know about lighting lamps?

How dare you speak of destiny in front of this humble Taoist priest?

If you know the will of Heaven, why are you still trapped in the Great Luo and unable to advance?

Zhao Gongming then snorted coldly.

"snort!

Number of days?

I have come here only to demand an explanation!

Stop talking!

"I've put on a show today so you all will know that my Jie Sect cannot be humiliated!"
