Duobao pulled Bai Yao away from Shangqing Palace, only to see Bai Yao still absent-minded. He couldn't help but scold him,
"You little brat, you really don't know what's good for you. Don't you know Master is angry? You can't even say a word clearly! Scared silly, aren't you!"
Actually, when Bai Yao said Taishang was looking for him, Duobao felt relieved. After all, Tongtian was too terrifying now, no wonder Bai Yao, this coward, was so scared!
After Duobao finished speaking, he hugged Bai Yao tightly and shook him, "Alright, alright, we're out now. How can I take you to see Great Uncle like this?"
Bai Yao slowly came back to his senses amidst Duobao's shaking and looked at him, "Uncle Tongtian is too terrifying. I don't want to go to Shangqing Palace to see him again!"
Duobao chuckled upon hearing this and looked at Bai Yao, "Are you scared silly? Master goes to Great Uncle and Second Uncle's place all the time. Second Uncle is in seclusion, so Master will definitely go to Great Uncle's. You can't avoid it if you don't want to see him!"
Duobao immediately urged, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go to your Master's place, or Great Uncle will wait too long and you'll be scolded again!"
Duobao knew all too well that he was either being scolded or on the way to being scolded!
Bai Yao immediately ran towards Taiqing Palace. Compared to his Uncle, his Master's temper was much better. Taiqing Palace was safer. He had a premonition that if he still couldn't get the message across, his Uncle might just take action and discipline him!
In Shangqing Palace, Tongtian saw that a quarter of an hour had passed and said to Qichen, "Chen'er, count the numbers!"
Qichen nodded and immediately released his divine sense to scan. After confirming the number of people, he scanned again. Once sure there were no mistakes, he said,
"Master, everyone is here, not a single one is missing!"
Tongtian nodded and glanced at his disciples, "Do you know why I've gathered you here?"
The disciples looked at each other and replied in unison, "Disciples do not know, please enlighten us, Master!"
Tongtian looked at them and immediately declared loudly,
"Your senior brother, my disciple, Ma Yuan, first broke the sect rules and wantonly slaughtered humans. He consumed their hearts. After Duobao scattered his cultivation, he harbored resentment and defected to the Western sect. I went to the West, but was blocked by Jieyin and Zhunti, and could not personally grind this unfilial disciple to dust. Your Great Uncle, with a kind heart, only scattered his cultivation, crippled his Dao foundation, and erased his intelligence!"
"Today, I give you a chance. If you feel that the sect rules of Kunlun are too strict, step forward now, and I will let you leave!"
After Tongtian finished speaking, he looked at his disciples. Upon hearing this, the disciples erupted in discussion. None of them expected Ma Yuan to have done such a thing!
Tongtian did not stop their whispers. After the discussion ended, Kong Xuan, Yu Hua Xian, Wu Dang, Jin Ling, San Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and others immediately knelt on the ground, "Disciples are willing to follow Master to the death!"
The disciples behind them also knelt down, "Disciples are willing to follow Master to the death!"
Seeing the disciples kneeling on the ground, Tongtian's grim expression finally improved a little. "Good, remember your words. If any of you defect to another sect in the future, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Tongtian finished speaking, waved his Daoist robe, and headed towards Taiqing Palace! (Sudan Novel Network)
Seeing Tongtian leave, the disciples kowtowed in the direction he had left, "Master, rest assured, we will not regret this vow!"
When Qichen saw Tongtian leave, he looked at his fellow disciples with satisfaction and nodded, "Alright, get up. Master is gone, go do whatever you need to do!"
After Qichen finished speaking, he also headed towards Taiqing Palace!
In Taiqing Palace, Taishang looked at Bai Yao and Duobao, who had arrived late, and glared at Bai Yao impatiently,
"What's wrong with you? It takes so long to deliver a message?"
Bai Yao looked at Taishang aggrievedly, "Master, Uncle Tongtian is too fierce!"
Taishang frowned upon hearing this and chuckled, "Did you really go to ask your Uncle without fear of death?"
Bai Yao looked wronged, "Master, you're still laughing. Uncle was fierce and yelled at me!"
Xuan Du and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Bai Yao's aggrieved appearance!
Taishang, hearing this, felt pleased seeing Bai Yao on the verge of tears,
"What? Your Uncle can't yell at you? Do I still have to coax you?"
Bai Yao argued when he saw Taishang teasing him, "Master, I'm your disciple! You're not even helping me when I'm being bullied! You're even taking Tongtian Uncle's side!"
Taishang burst into laughter, and Xuan Du and the others also laughed heartily. Just as Taishang was about to speak, a voice came,
"I'm also your Master's younger brother. Isn't it right for an elder brother to help his younger brother?"
Upon hearing this voice, Bai Yao's heart trembled, his little face turned pale, and he quietly turned his head to see Tongtian walking in with a majestic stride!
Seeing Tongtian, Bai Yao remembered how terrifying he had looked earlier. His eyes immediately welled up, and he cautiously moved his feet to hide behind Xuan Du.
Seeing Bai Yao trying to find cover, Tongtian let out an angry roar, "Stop moving!"
Startled by Tongtian's roar, Bai Yao dared not move and looked pleadingly at Taishang for help!
Tongtian walked to Taishang's side, sat down, and looked at Bai Yao,
"Come to my side!"
Bai Yao looked at Taishang and said pitifully, "Master!"
Tongtian immediately put on a stern face, "This is not only your Master, but also my elder brother. I'm telling you to come over!"
Bai Yao wanted to move but feared Tongtian, and not moving also feared Tongtian. He braced himself and said,
"Uncle... Uncle, Master said... said that men and women should not touch each other, and men and men... men and men should also not touch each other. So... let's not, okay?"
Taishang's forehead was covered in black lines. When did he ever say such a thing to you?
Tongtian looked at Taishang, "Big Brother, your little disciple has quite a bit of nerve!"
Taishang looked at Bai Yao and immediately roared, "Get out! Xuan Du, take him to the medicinal field and have Jinjiao and Yin Jiao beat him to death!"
Xuan Du and Duobao, along with the others, almost died laughing at Bai Yao. Seeing Taishang and Tongtian, they dared not be too unrestrained and could only try their best to hold back their laughter, their faces turning red!
Hearing Taishang's words, Bai Yao felt as if a great burden had been lifted. He pulled Xuan Du, "Senior Brother, let's go!"
Xuan Du also did not expect Bai Yao to be so bold, saying whatever came to his mind. Xuan Du dared not stay any longer, for fear that he would burst into laughter if he couldn't hold back. He quickly left Taiqing Palace with Bai Yao.
As soon as Xuan Du left Taiqing Palace, he burst into laughter and pinched Bai Yao's cheek, "Junior Brother, you're amazing. You're more amazing than Master's mount, the Green Ox!"
Inside Taiqing Palace, Taishang heard Xuan Du's laughter, and more black lines appeared on his forehead!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Duobao immediately said, "Great Uncle, you sent for me?"
