Bai Yao, amidst the comforting words of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, felt increasingly like a fool and more wronged than ever!
You You suddenly burst into tears. Bai Yao's crying threw Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao into a state of helplessness; they had never encountered such a situation.
Even Qi Chen, who had interacted with them the earliest, had never acted this way!
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao could only utter words to tell Bai Yao to stop crying while staring blankly at the weeping Bai Yao!
Bai Yao was also bewildered by Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao. Shouldn't they be giving him an excuse to back down?
Once Bai Yao's emotions stabilized, he asked Jin Wu and Yin Jiao to help him cultivate. The moment Bai Yao took off his clothes, Jin Jiao's heart ached upon seeing the bruises and contusions all over his body.
At the same time, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao saw the scene. Seeing the scars on Bai Yao's body, they knew Taishang was truly angered, having struck with such force!
Jin Jiao stepped forward to help Bai Yao put his clothes back on, and Bai Yao looked at Jin Jiao in confusion.
"Jin Jiao, what are you doing?"
Jin Jiao gently rubbed Bai Yao's head and smiled faintly, "We won't cultivate today. I'll heal your wounds!"
Upon hearing Jin Jiao's words, Yin Jiao looked at Jin Jiao with some concern.
"Brother, will Old Master be angry if we do this?"
Bai Yao also nodded in agreement. His master's temper was indeed not very good today, and it wouldn't be pleasant if Jin Jiao happened to run into him at that moment!
Jin Jiao, however, shook his head. "Old Master's temper has always been good. Young Master, this must be a problem with the cultivation technique you brought back, otherwise Old Master wouldn't have been so furious!"
He continued, "When Old Master knew you weren't cultivating that technique, he went much easier on you. Later, letting you come to us was probably because Old Master couldn't bring himself to heal you, so he sent you to us instead!"
Bai Yao and Yin Jiao were stunned by Jin Jiao's words, yet they couldn't find any fault with them.
Bai Yao did know who Taishang was, but he had indeed been a bit unusual today. It was likely as Jin Jiao said, there was something wrong with that secret manual!
After speaking, Jin Jiao took Bai Yao to the medicinal fields, intending to gather some spiritual herbs to treat Bai Yao's injuries!
At the Kunlun Mountain gate, Duobao arrived to find Tong Tian, Kong Xuan, and Wu Dang already waiting.
Kong Xuan and Wu Dang bowed to Duobao upon seeing him. "Senior Brother Duobao!"
Duobao nodded and then turned to bow to Tong Tian. "Master, you sent for me?"
Tong Tian nodded slightly upon seeing Duobao arrive, then spoke, "This time, your master will take you to Mount Sumeru in the West to discuss the Dao with the disciples of Jieyin and Zhunti. You don't need to hold back; strike hard and break their Dao hearts if possible. Just make sure they don't die!"
Duobao, Kong Xuan, and Wu Dang looked at each other. Their master wasn't discussing the Dao; this was clearly revenge! One didn't discuss the Dao like this!
Tong Tian looked at the silent trio and immediately spoke with annoyance, "Did you hear me?"
The three snapped back to attention and quickly replied, "Yes, Master!"
Tong Tian nodded in satisfaction and then used his divine abilities to take the three towards Mount Sumeru in the West!
Mount Sumeru. As Tong Tian approached, he bellowed, "Fellow Daoists Jieyin and Zhunti, I am Tong Tian, the Sect Leader of Kunlun. I have brought my disciples Duobao, Kong Xuan, and Wu Dang to pay our respects!"
Tong Tian's voice immediately surged towards Mount Sumeru like a tidal wave!
Duobao, Kong Xuan, and Wu Dang twitched their mouths at Tong Tian's demeanor, thinking speechlessly that if Jieyin and Zhunti weren't fools, they would know their master's intentions were not friendly!
On Mount Sumeru, Zhunti and the three disciples, including Ji Zang, heard Tong Tian's voice and all looked at Jieyin, awaiting his instructions.
Jieyin heard Tong Tian's voice and glanced at Zhunti. "Junior Brother, he comes with ill intentions!"
Zhunti nervously looked at Jieyin. "Senior Brother, do you think the Three Pure Ones discovered our Blissful Zen technique? Is that why Tong Tian is coming to our mountain?"
Jieyin shook his head. Although the Three Pure Ones were petty, they wouldn't personally ascend a mountain to give them a cultivation technique.
"Junior Brother, a Sage has arrived personally. We should go out to greet him!"
Zhunti nodded. Since Tong Tian had come in person, it was indeed only fitting that he and Jieyin go to welcome him.
Jieyin instructed Ji Zang and Medicine King to offer spiritual fruits and tea, and then personally descended the mountain to welcome Tong Tian and his disciples.
[Something urgent came up again today, and I couldn't finish writing. I'll make it up tomorrow. So annoying.]
