Zhunti Daoist was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Duobao, Duobao, you're really giving me an opportunity, aren't you? If I don't teach you a lesson this time, I'll be letting your kind intentions go to waste!"
In the chat group, upon seeing Zhunti Daoist appear, the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree directly cursed.
[Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree: How shameless are you Westerners! Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, did you leak my whereabouts and lead this Zhunti Daoist here?]
[Jade Butterfly of Creation: I was so engrossed in the show earlier that I didn't expect the West to sneak up on us!]
[Chaos Bell: Indeed, I didn't expect the West to show up here.]
[Taiji Diagram: Hey, hey, hey, this is not right of you Westerners. Is it fun for Zhunti Daoist to bully two children?]
[Immortal-Slaying Sword: Exactly, do you really think my Four Immortal-Slaying Swords are just for show?]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Don't speak so harshly. I only just found out about Zhunti Daoist's destination, alright?]
[Heaven-Measuring Ruler: So, it's not us who are breaking up lovers, but the West, this stirrer of trouble!]
[Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree: What bad luck! But fortunately, Duobao is still standing firm and dares to face Zhunti Daoist in front of me. I am greatly comforted!]
[Qingping Sword: Of course. Whose disciple do you think he is?]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Fine, fine, fine! I know you're all powerful. But do you think Duobao Daoist can really protect the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree from Zhunti Daoist? Even if you look down on Zhunti Daoist, don't look down on me!]
[Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree: Are you really going to be my enemy?]
[Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree: Old Tea Tree, let's be reasonable. Treasures follow their masters. Is this something I can decide?]
[Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree: Alas! Whether I can survive now depends on Duobao!]
Xu Fang looked at the messages in the chat group and sighed.
He had known something was wrong as soon as he saw Zhunti Daoist's magical treasures and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree rapidly moving on the treasure map towards the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree.
As expected, Zhunti Daoist had sensed the fortuitous encounter of the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree and had intercepted them midway!
The Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree was helpless. With Zhunti Daoist appearing halfway, Duobao Daoist didn't know if he could hold him off!
Duobao Daoist also didn't know if he could hold him off, but the burning soul of a treasure lover within him still drove him to stand up and shield the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree.
"Uncle-Master Zhunti, with your insight, you can also see that the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree has not yet reached its time of emergence. If it is forcefully obtained, the treasure will be damaged!"
"Uncle-Master, please rest assured. This treasure is destined to be your fortuitous encounter, and we will not compete for it. Please be patient, Uncle-Master!"
Duobao Daoist repeatedly tried to dissuade him. Even if the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree did not belong to him, he did not want to see it destroyed.
However, these words only drew a scoff from Zhunti Daoist.
"Enough, Duobao. Stop pretending. You only want me to leave so you can seize the opportunity!"
Zhunti Daoist did not believe Duobao Daoist's words at all and directly berated him.
"Get out of the way, or I won't be polite!"
"Uncle-Master, think thrice!"
"You truly intend to obstruct me? Fine! Guangchengzi, is it? Watch closely, it was Duobao who first obstructed me from acting."
Guangchengzi, not understanding the situation, could only nod at Zhunti Daoist's words.
Zhunti Daoist did not offer further explanation and immediately attacked, striking Duobao Daoist.
Duobao Daoist did not expect Zhunti Daoist to resort to violence so quickly. Caught off guard, his hastily constructed defense was scattered, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Boom!
Duobao's body crashed against the protective grand formation behind him, immediately triggering its power, which shone brightly.
Duobao's blood flowed down the barrier of the grand formation.
Guangchengzi was astonished. Duobao Daoist was a disciple of Tongtian and called Zhunti Daoist Uncle-Master. How could Zhunti Daoist be so ruthless from the start?
He had no idea of Zhunti Daoist's resentment towards Duobao. Since there was an opportunity to strike, he naturally wouldn't let Duobao off easily.
Duobao Daoist slid down from the grand formation, struggling to get up. He raised his head and looked at Zhunti Daoist with disbelief.
"You..."
Duobao Daoist spoke, spitting out a mouthful of blood first. However, he ignored his disheveled state and continued.
"Zhunti! How dare you injure me like this? Aren't you afraid of my Master?"
"I am afraid! But this time, you offended me first. Guangchengzi is watching. What can Tongtian say!"
Zhunti Daoist laughed. Duobao Daoist had originally intended to use his master's name to scare Zhunti Daoist, but it seemed this was impossible now!
"Move aside, and you can suffer less physical pain."
Zhunti Daoist descended, walking towards the protective grand formation of the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree, and ordered Duobao Daoist to move aside.
Seeing this, Duobao Daoist quickly shouted.
"Uncle-Master! The Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree has truly not reached its time of emergence..."
"I know. I don't care."
Zhunti Daoist interrupted Duobao Daoist's words. Whether it was ripe or not, whether it had emerged or not, as long as it was a good item, he couldn't miss it if he saw it.
On the other hand, this Duobao Daoist was fighting so hard for a treasure. Was he that greedy for treasures?
"Uncle-Master, think thrice!"
"Are you going to keep making noise endlessly? Get lost!"
Zhunti Daoist kicked out, sending Duobao Daoist flying. Since this fellow was courting death, there was no harm in kicking him again.
Duobao Daoist's body flew out and struck a towering tree, instantly severing it in half, showing the ruthlessness of Zhunti Daoist's kick.
However, Duobao Daoist, seeing Zhunti Daoist continuously approaching the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree, was extremely anxious and paid no heed to his injuries.
In his desperation, Duobao Daoist looked towards Guangchengzi, who had been watching from the sidelines.
"Guangchengzi, don't you want the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree? Go on!"
Guangchengzi heard this and repeatedly shook his head. He was of similar strength to Duobao Daoist, and seeing Duobao Daoist so miserable, he did not want to follow in his footsteps!
Seeing that he couldn't move Guangchengzi, Duobao Daoist could only watch helplessly as Zhunti Daoist approached the protective grand formation of the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree, his heart filled with grief.
Could it be that this heaven-and-earth unique treasure would truly be destroyed by the hands of this Western Zhunti Daoist?
"Whoever it is, just come and stop this Zhunti!"
Duobao Daoist, in despair, prayed weakly.
Zhunti Daoist had already approached the protective grand formation and couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. He looked back at Duobao Daoist, who was like a dying dog.
"You fellow, you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. I'll play with you again later!"
"I, Zhunti Daoist, am here. What can stop me!"
Zhunti Daoist said, extending his hand to press upon the protective grand formation, preparing to break it and seize the treasure.
Just then, the protective grand formation within suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
