Chapter 61 Requires the Three Pure Ones to Serve as Attendants
Taiqing and Tongtian each reached out and grabbed Yuanshi's arm. Yuanshi's face was full of arrogance, and he was baring his teeth and brandishing his claws, but his legs were trembling incessantly...
Seeing that Yuanshi refused to apologize and still looked unconvinced, Taiqing sighed, cupped his hands towards Lingxiao and his group, and said, "Today's events are all due to my poor discipline. As the head of the Three Pure Ones, I should apologize to you, fellow Daoist."
"I only hope that you, fellow Daoist, will be lenient and spare me!"
Taiqing knew that fighting was not an option; if war broke out, the Three Pure Ones would inevitably be ganged up on.
Once war breaks out, life and death are left to fate.
The Eastern King Duke is a precedent.
There's nothing shameful about backing down in the face of life and death.
After saying this, Taiqing bowed deeply to Lingxiao.
Tongtian saw that Taiqing had apologized, so he also came out and bowed to Lingxiao.
"Second Brother, we shouldn't have said so much."
Tongtian sighed, his tone quite tactful.
However, upon hearing these words, Yuanshi immediately shuddered and turned to look at Tongtian.
"Third brother, are you saying that I, your elder brother, cannot speak?"
"Second brother, you misunderstood. What I meant was that in the current situation, we are not as good as others, so we should speak less and try to avoid causing trouble."
Tongtian waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile.
Yuanshi was furious. He pointed at Tongtian and said, "You're becoming more and more unruly! As the younger brother, how dare you discipline your elder brother in front of outsiders?"
"Second brother, this isn't about saving face between us brothers."
Tongtian's tone instantly turned serious.
Yuanshi Tianzun sneered and said, "Stop causing trouble? We, the Three Pure Ones, are the true descendants of Pangu, our status is extremely noble!! Those lowly beings are born to grovel at our feet, that is karma! They must obey our commands, can you please wake up?"
Tongtian frowned and said, "I am perfectly sober."
"The true descendant of Pangu, possessing the merit of creating the world, boasts of his noble status, but is this your reason for looking down upon all living beings? Let me tell you clearly, all living beings are born from the Father God, and they are no less than you in any way!"
Tongtian spoke with a resounding voice, accusing Yuanshi of being vain.
In an instant, the cultivators on the immortal island who were not very accomplished were all deeply moved and looked at Tongtian with gratitude in their eyes.
It was unclear who started clapping, but suddenly a thunderous sound filled the arena, lingering for a long time.
Hearing the thunderous applause, Yuan Shi pondered for a moment, then looked up in disbelief, a coldness gradually rising in his eyes, and said, "You're so great, so arrogant!! Now you can curse me!"
The group of innate deities watched the farce unfold before them with great interest.
When Taiqing saw how irresponsible her two younger brothers were, she was at her wits' end, but all she could do was step forward and try to dissuade them.
Ling Xiao gazed at Yuanshi and Tongtian before him and thought to himself, "Yuanshi's way follows the will of Heaven and must distinguish between purity and impurity, high and low. Tongtian's way, on the other hand, is as vast as the ocean, encompassing all things and providing a lifeline for all living beings."
As the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
The conflict between these two brothers, seemingly stemming from a clash of personalities, is in reality a struggle over the very essence of their respective traditions.
But he didn't care about any of that.
Now, the Three Pure Ones and the Eastern King are all his prisoners of war.
If you lose, you either die or have to pay compensation.
At this point, Taiqing finally managed to persuade the two brothers to calm down. Although they no longer glared at each other, they were still outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds.
"Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, we Three Pure Ones have nothing of value. Please consider this carefully."
Taiqing Laozi said.
If he loses, he'll definitely have to pay a price; if he wins, he'll make the other person do the same.
Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying, as if I want your exquisite pagoda. You're being too polite."
Taiqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly and said, "Fellow Daoist, your righteousness is admirable! Taiqing is impressed!"
After saying this, he bowed to Ling Xiao again, then pulled his two brothers up and prepared to leave.
But they were stopped there by Jieyin and Zhunti, who looked at the Three Pure Ones with a grin.
Taiqing's gaze bypassed the two of them and turned to Lingxiao with a puzzled look.
Ling Xiao slowly said, "I can forgive you, but you Three Pure Ones need to compensate me. However, I really don't want the scrap metal on your bodies."
"As compensation, you will serve as three attendants in my temple, just like the Eastern King Duke."
"You will be free when I preach the third time."
Lingxiao also has two undiscovered immortal islands, as well as Penglai Immortal Island, and the Dragon Clan's treasure trove...
It can be said that the magical treasures are inexhaustible and the resources are inexhaustible.
In his eyes, the Three Pure Ones were like beggars.
Furthermore, although the Three Pure Ones' magical treasures are excellent, they are the treasures they used to attain enlightenment.
If we make any moves, we might alarm Hongjun.
Therefore, to gain benefits, one must find another way.
Taiqing was skilled in alchemy, Yuanshi in weapon crafting, and Tongtian in formations.
Ling Xiao smiled. Even if he didn't need it himself, he could bestow it upon his disciples and grand-disciples if he needed to develop the western lands in the future.
The Three Pure Ones can be treated like cattle and horses, exploited and squeezed.
at this time.
As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, everyone present was immediately stunned.
One stone caused a thousand waves!
The uproar and the endless chatter were enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Those are the Three Pure Ones! The supreme and holy beings transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, the Father God!"
"To become someone else's servant? Who would believe it if they hadn't heard it with their own ears today?"
"Ling Xiao defeated Dong Wang Gong with a single move, and with a single word, he commanded the followers of many powerful figures. In the end, even the Three Pure Ones were forced to kneel."
"This...this is terrifying!"
"That western land is utterly barren! Can anyone tell me? How could it have nurtured such an unparalleled powerhouse?"
While everyone was discussing this fervently, Styx, Kunpeng, Fuxi and Nuwa, and the gods of the Celestial Court were all experiencing incredibly complex emotions. Their figures were behind the crowd, and the golden light shone through the ancient tree branches, illuminating them, their expressions flickering uncertainly.
At this moment, the Three Pure Ones looked grim, and Yuanshi Tianzun said with grief and indignation, "Lingxiao, are you insulting me?"
"I'd rather die!"
His voice trembled slightly, and his legs suddenly felt icy cold. He steeled himself and shouted, "Even if my soul is destroyed, I will never be your servant! Dream on!"
Ling Xiao said, "I'll grant your wish."
He flicked his sleeve lightly.
Behind him stood Jieyin Zhunti, Dijun Taiyi, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and Hongyun Zhenyuanzi, who, as if receiving a decree, all walked toward Yuanshi.
In the time it takes to breathe, Yuanshi was surrounded by people.
Yuan Shi trembled all over.
Hongyun felt a pang of pity and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, just give in. Staying alive is important, isn't it?"
Yuanshi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't talk to hypocrites!"
Hongyun was taken aback, and after a long while, she said, "What if I pretend to be virtuous my whole life?"
Yuan Shi: "..."
Tongtian stepped forward and said, "Second Brother, let's bear with it for now. After all, this is our own fault."
Yuanshi rolled his eyes at Tongtian, raised his head, snorted, and said, "Stop being sarcastic? Don't pretend to be a good guy in front of me!"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian was furious, his face turning pale and then red.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Taiqing Laozi quickly stepped forward and asked Ling Xiao, "Fellow Daoist, could you offer a different way of compensation? Such humiliation of us is tantamount to humiliating Father God Pangu."
