Chapter 403: Bad News
He pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, second brother. We are all saints. What big thing can be worthy of your worry?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's brows were still furrowed, and his eyes, which were usually calm, now flickered with a hint of uneasiness.
It's not that he didn't know that what Laozi said made sense, but the inexplicable throbbing in his heart was like a wildfire that was difficult to quell.
After a while, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed deeply, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his breath.
He nodded slowly, as if trying to convince himself and respond to Laozi's comfort.
"Brother, what you said makes sense. Perhaps I am overthinking it. Let's continue our discussion."
The Supreme Master said: "That's great!"
So, the two of them sat down again. On the tea table in front of them were several cups of steaming fragrant tea. The fragrance of tea filled the air, as if it could wash away the dust in people's hearts.
The Supreme Master gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said slowly:
"Tea is like life, light but flavorful, bitter but sweet. Isn't spiritual practice the same?"
“Only after going through countless hardships and tests can one comprehend the true meaning of the Tao.”
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun also picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea seemed to instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed.
He nodded and said in deep agreement: "Brother, what you said is absolutely right. Only by following the will of heaven and explaining the way of heaven can we achieve immortal achievements."
The two of them drank tea and discussed philosophy, feeling relaxed and happy.
……
The Three Sky flew out from the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation like three streams of light, and instantly arrived beside the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wen Zhong and others.
When the Golden Spirit Mother saw Sanxiao return safely, she felt relieved and an expression of concern and relief appeared on her face.
She hurriedly took a step forward and looked at Sanxiao carefully, afraid of missing any details, and said softly:
"Three junior sisters, are you all okay?"
Hearing this, Yunxiao's lips curled up into a faint smile. The smile was gentle and reserved, like a flower blooming in spring, which made people feel warm.
She replied softly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. How powerful is the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation that we are waiting for? Senior Sister, don't you know?"
"Although there were some twists and turns during the process, the three of us worked together to control the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, so we are safe."
Bi Xiao was standing aside, unable to hold back her pride. The corners of her mouth turned up, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes:
"That's right, that's right, Senior Sister. Even if Chi Jingzi, Ju Liusun, and Master Cihang join forces, they can't break our Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation."
There was a hint of childish playfulness in her words, but they were also filled with pride in the strength of the formation that she and her three sisters had set up.
"Moreover, the three of them have already died in the formation."
When Bixiao said this, she blinked her eyes mischievously, as if she was talking about something very ordinary, but her eyes could not hide the pride.
Qiong Xiao also echoed, "Yes, Senior Sister, the three of them were not strong enough and have been eliminated by us."
After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, which then turned into deep shock and surprise.
She was well aware of the cultivation levels of Chi Jingzi, Juliusun and Cihang Zhenren, especially Chi Jingzi, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian and whose strength was extraordinary.
Even the Golden Spirit Mother herself had to put in a lot of effort to defeat the three Chi Jingzi when facing their joint confrontation.
However, now she learned from Sanxiao that these three people had actually died in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. How could she not be shocked?
"Is this true?"
"No matter what, the three of them have reached the level of Daluo Jinxian, especially Chi Jingzi, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. I didn't expect that you would kill them?"
The voice of the Golden Spirit Mother trembled slightly, both because of shock and excitement.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao nodded gently, "Senior Sister, what the second and third sisters said is true."
"The three of them were in the formation, and I personally used the Primordial Golden Bowl to cut off the three flowers on their heads, and they became ordinary people."
"Then, the third sister controlled the formation and wiped out the three of them."
After hearing this, Holy Mother Jin Ling was filled with emotion.
Wen Zhong couldn't help but praise him, "The three uncles have profound Taoism skills. I admire them very much."
"In these years in Da Shang, although I have seen many people practicing Taoism, I have never seen anyone like you three uncles."
The three Xiaos all smiled indifferently after hearing this. Bi Xiao said:
"Xiao Wenzhong, you are getting better and better at speaking Mandarin! However, we don't like these empty compliments."
"We are from Jiejiao, and we value truthfulness. If it's yes, it's yes, and if it's no, it's no. Why should we be so polite?"
Qiong Xiao also laughed and said, "Junior Brother Wen Zhong, where did you put Senior Sister Jin Ling when you said that?"
"Senior Sister Jin Ling is a powerful person at the Quasi-Saint level, much stronger than the rest of us."
When Wen Zhong heard the slightly teasing words from Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He coughed lightly, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't find the right words for a moment, so he could only shake his head helplessly, "This..."
Seeing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but smile, "Okay, second sister, third sister, don't tease nephew Wen Zhong anymore."
"He is the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty after all, so we should give him some respect in front of the other soldiers."
After that, the atmosphere became harmonious again and everyone continued to chat and laugh.
However, amidst all the laughter and joy, there was a completely different scene in Zhou’s camp.
Jiang Ziya, Guangchengzi and others saw from afar that Sanxiao flew out of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation safely, but Chijingzi, Juliusun and Cihang Zhenren were nowhere to be seen. They couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts and had a bad premonition.
Jiang Ziya frowned, and looked deeply in the direction of Sanxiao, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Although he was well aware of the extraordinary strength of Chi Jingzi, Juliusun and Cihang Zhenren, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation set up by the Three Xiaos was also unfathomable.
However, at this moment, he only saw the figures of Sanxiao, but did not see Chi Jingzi and the other two people go out into the battle, which made him feel unprecedentedly worried.
"Big Brother, look..." Jiang Ziya spoke in a deep voice, with a hint of anxiety that was hard to conceal.
Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi also frowned. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could penetrate the layers of fog and see the truth in the distance.
He took a deep breath, stared at Sanxiao, and said in a deep voice:
"Sanxiao, where are my fellow apprentices? Why haven't they returned yet? Could it be that..."
At this point, Guangchengzi's voice couldn't help but become a little low. He didn't dare and didn't want to believe the worst outcome.
However, the uneasiness in my heart spread rapidly like wildfire.
Here, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and others heard Guangchengzi's question and smiled at each other.
"They?" Bi Xiao stepped forward with a cold smile on his face. His voice was clear but chilling. "They have naturally returned to the wild land, back to where they were supposed to be."
When Guangchengzi heard this, his heart sank and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "You...are really...so arrogant!"
