“Haaa, that explains the matter. No wonder your Divine Wind Palace stopped us from taking Wang She. It turns out that you’re playing such a deep game here!” White Tiger laughed in anger by the sight, staring at Yu Taixu’s face. “Lord Yu, I didn’t know your Divine Wind Palace had such a deep relationship with Dark Sect. Pneuma-sucking Skill, it is Pneuma-sucking Skill…!” White Tiger was outraged. He had mentioned the Pneuma-sucking Skill when he was bargaining with Zhi IX, just to bring back Wang She, but now…
It turned out to be a prophecy. Divine Wind Palace really was absorbing Wang She’s pneuma with Dark Sect’s Pneuma-sucking Skill.
This was beyond the limits of White Tiger’s tolerance, beyond the limits of any big sect.
Not only White Tiger, but the experts, immortals and Elders from Jade Pool, Bigwheel Temple and Dragon Thunder Palace beside him all went pale. At this point, the same spirit of vengeance formed in their souls.
The five biggest sects had been high above others in the Four Eastern Regions for more than a hundred thousand years. However, Divine Wind Palace was the only one of the five biggest sects that could really claim to be the dominant one. They seized the opportunity of the first candidate for the Human Emperor, greatly enhanced their strength, and controlled three regions of the Four Eastern Regions over a period of more than one hundred thousand years. The other four biggest sects, although powerful, ended up stuck in the Central Mainland Region, ostensibly having the name of the five biggest sects, but Divine Wind Palace was already above them.
Divine Wind Palace was not an influence that was arrogant and mindless. Although their power was extremely horrible and their behavior tended to be domineering, they kept a bottom line and were very polite to the other four biggest sects. They took a step-by-step plan and slowly swallowed them. Those four biggest sects, partly because of fearing their power, and partly because they did not use aggressive coercion, had been at peace with them.
But what they saw today was well beyond the limits of what the four biggest sects could tolerate. If Divine Wind Palace could treat the people of Immortal Palace in such a way, then they might use the same means against the other sects in the future, which was totally unacceptable to these sects.
“Haha, Divine Wind Palace is really ambitious. Take what others get in the Infinite Star Sea. Does it mean that even if people come back from the Infinite Star Sea, they have to leave the good things in Divine Wind Palace before they leave?” A sarcastic voice rang out in the crowd and the crowd found it was Child-endowing Buddha. Everyone could not help but be surprised. Child-endowing Buddha had a great enmity against Zhou Bao, but today it was like a change of person, with him helping Zhou Bao in all respects.
They were surprised, but no one would ask Child-endowing Buddha stupidly, yet the woman standing beside Yu Taixu could not help it anymore.
“You’re courting death, Child-endowing Buddha!” She screamed, and hundreds of sword lights flashed from her body towards Child-endowing Buddha.
“How dare you!”
Yu Taixu scolded in a low voice and rolled up the hundreds of sword lights she shot with his sleeve.
“Stand down!”
The woman seemed to be hit hard, and suddenly became dispirited. She retreated thousands of feet to the sacrificial altar and bowed down. Yet, she still looked resentfully at Zhou Bao and Child-endowing Buddha.
“Mother, father, you—!”
“Slap!”
Yu Nanzhe had just been slapped out by Zhou Bao and landed on the edge of the altar, unhurt. He saw clearly that the woman had been stricken down the altar by Yu Taixu, so he cried. But before he finished what he was going to say, he received another slap, which struck him directly into the dark water under the altar.
“I’m unfortunate to have such an unfilial son!” Yu Taixu sighed. As he moved his finger slightly, those hairlike blood vessels that were around Wang She were cut off. Then, with a raise of his hand, the wounded Wang She was sent to Zhou Bao.
“I don’t know this before, but as the lord of Divine Wind Palace and Zhe-er’s father, I’ll give you a satisfactory solution. You take Wang She back. As for my unfilial son, I will leave him at your disposal and not get involved. What do you think?”
His words seemed so stern, and the crowd, though full of righteous indignation, was at a loss for the manner in which he allowed his son to be dealt with. Everyone looked at Zhou Bao, but Zhou Bao was not that broad-minded, and he laughed at Yu Taixu’s words.
“Good, I’ll kill him first, then—!”
“Wait!” A weak voice cut in.
With a frown, Zhou Bao glanced at Wang She beside him, “Chief Wang, you mean…!”
“It’s my business. I’ll settle it!” Wang She took a deep breath and turned his eyes towards Yu Nanzhe who was climbing up the altar from the dark water, “I’ll remember it for the time being and avenge myself in the future!”
“Okay!” Zhou Bao nodded slightly. It seemed that this time Wang She was so humiliated by a junior that his self-esteem was touched and if he didn’t get it back by himself, he would have no face in the Four Eastern Regions.
“In that case, then give him a break today!” Zhou Bao said bitterly, “Lord Yu, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave!”
Yu Taixu’s face twitched, and he answered, “Okay, goodbye!”
At this time, even if he hated Zhou Bao very much, he could not stop him, and he had no reason to stop him. He could only force a smile and wait for these people to leave before making plans.
“Are you leaving like this?” Child-endowing Buddha asked Zhou Bao suddenly and looked at him with hatred, which caused Zhou Bao’s heart to beat fast.
“Will you treat me to dinner if I don’t leave?” Zhou Bao replied in a bad manner.
“I kind of did you a great favor, didn’t I?” Child-endowing Buddha grinned, “So, can you undo the inhibition you imposed on me? I don’t want to be inhibited all day!”
The audience burst into an uproar.
No wonder he was acting strangely today, beating the drum for Zhou Bao like his footman. It turned out that he was inhibited by Zhou Bao.
The two had never been on good terms. In the Human Emperor Palace, Child-endowing Buddha made a mockery of Zhou Bao. Though they did not fight on the spot, no one could restrain them after they left Divine Wind Palace.
It was not difficult for Zhou Bao to defeat Child-endowing Buddha. However, instead of killing him on the spot, he inhibited him. His intentions should be considered.
As soon as Child-endowing Buddha spoke of this, several Living Buddhas of Bigwheel Temple in the presence stared at Zhou Bao with unkind eyes. After all, Child-endowing Buddha was the most promising Living Buddha in Bigwheel Temple, and it was a provocation for the Temple that Zhou Bao tried to control him with inhibition.
“You!” Zhou Bao was angry immediately upon hearing it. “Well, good, that’s true, you did me a great favor. I will certainly undo the inhibition!” As he spoke, he flicked his hand, a faint firelight flashing from his fingertips toward Child-endowing Buddha’s forehead.
Child-endowing Buddha smiled at the coming firelight and did not avoid it. When the firelight fell upon his forehead, a buddhist halo shone all over him, and an invisible shackle fell off his body. He was instantly relieved.
“Amitabha, thank you for your mercy!” Child-endowing Buddha chanted and gave a gentle salute to Zhou Bao. In an instant, despicable Child-endowing Buddha, the most adulterous monk in the world, became a respected, eminent monk, as if he were a new man.
“Humph, there’s no need for thanks. As the call sounds, so does the echo. As long as you do not provoke me in the future, I will not trouble you!” Zhou Bao gave him a sneer.
He wondered why Child-endowing Buddha acted out of character today. It turned out that he had such a plan.
This guy was brought out from the underground palace of the Small Thunder Temple by Zhou Bao and attached to the green lamp. Although he occupied Child-endowing Buddha’s body, to some extent, he was still inhibited by that green lamp. In other words, Zhou Bao’s inhibition could bring him great trouble.
To Zhou Bao’s surprise, he took this opportunity to ask him to undo the inhibition. Although Zhou Bao was a bit of a disgrace, the recent wars had made him a great man throughout the Seven-deity Regions. Thus, this was not a very embarrassing thing.
“You cunning bald ass!” After undoing the inhibition, Zhou Bao cursed inwardly. Then, he followed White Tiger and left Divine Wind Palace without saying a word.
Not only did the people of Immortal Palace leave, but all the others of the three sects also left. Their faces were somber, because the behavior of Divine Wind Palace was too unorthodox.
“We suffered great losses on the trip to the Infinite Star Sea. As you can see, although Wang She came back alive, he is on the verge of death. I’ll take him back to Immortal Palace right away. If you’re anxious to know what has happened, you can come with me and stay at Immortal Palace. When his condition improves, he will be able to tell the whole story at once. What do you think?” Away from the Transmitting Formation, White Tiger proposed to the men of the other three sects.
“Good, let’s go to Immortal Palace for a few days!” The First Elder of Dragon Thunder Palace was the first to speak.
People from Bigwheel Temple and Jade Pool also nodded in agreement. As for Divine Wind Palace, the four biggest sects did not ask their opinion at all. Moreover, White Tiger said that Immortal Palace did not welcome the people of Divine Wind Palace and told them to go back and wait for news, which made the Elder of Divine Wind Palace blow a fuse. But they were in the wrong, so he could not resist and returned sullenly.
Now that Wang She had been rescued, Zhou Bao didn’t want to stay here too much, ready to leave, but White Tiger caught him. “Zhou Bao, come back to Immortal Palace with me and find out what happened in the Infinite Star Sea first!”
